Walker, the well- known hair, tourist and president and owner of the Indianapolis industrial company, of Indianapolis, Ind. who has now become an international character, has returned from the west in the West Indies and is at her palatial home in the Hoosier Capital brimming with people of the island she has seen visiting and optimistic touching the future of the Negro here and every- where she has succeeded in the face of the most disgusting circumstances. She cannot see why others cannot rise up their mind; to do so and evince a disposition to take the sacrifices neces- tary in the far away West India Islands as here in America—and Washington, where she made a pronounced church and filling space in the dalles. It seems that this broad- reputation preceded her to the Islands. As a consequence, on her ar- cal she found that for a time she had foreo allure and will of the people in it desire to show her social position and arrangements to entertain her ar- cal to indicate their estimation and ap- reciation of this hustling, philanthropic and enterprising business Madame Walker left Indianapolis October 1, accompanied by her niece, Miss Aubriet Breedlove, and chaperone, Miss Martha Crawford, of New York City in her own high-powered Ford car. She spent a few days in the city, where her own 168 West 185th street, purchased by Madame Walker about a year ago the eastern headquarters for her business, where she is in charge of her daughter, Miss Lela Robinson, who came from Pittsburgh to assume the supervision of a competent forelady to take care of the establishment in the Smoke Room. After a charming visit of a few days, New York with her daughter and grandma Madame Walker sailed November 18, 1915, to Jamaica, living at her desultation five days later. At Kingston on high officials and business men with the hospitality of the hotel, she visited the habits and customs of natives in the West Indies, her long long trips in her car with gifts from city to city in this most natural country, with a favorite pastime of the beach and the museum, and with her party, as long moonlight sails over the ocean. Writers tell us that nothing is better calculated to lure one away business cares to a boat ride, while others, where island and island seem rise out of the very sea, garlanded hedged, as they are, by a most careful, varied and luxurious plant. From Kingston, Madame Walker to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and it is through her work that themselves in making her stay one continuous round of pleasure. Introductory to the official family of that atlantic people, dependents of the city fountain,ousseverture—Madame Walker became a center of attraction. So universal she was, it extended to other places that she found it difficult to say: "to this island and its hospitable Proceeding to Jamaica, Madame Walker managed, after several weeks, get down to business." She was more successful to observe that it was only necessary to have more orders for goods than she possibly supply. She was more successful in introducing and establishing country, and found more people to work with that she could think of employing as agents to represent the business of the holidays at Kingston, Madame Walker for Colon, Panama, and Zone from which region she would be able to business and business combined, feeling relied on and invigorated by the panorama and varied personalities within the neighborhood through her season abroad. She has asked to give a series of platings of her travels and experiences, and to some of the events, if her time will be available. the Negro race in America has not a character in investing or more unique charisma in museums and meteoric career races in a romance, and her success is the result of a genius for business that comes to but trow of any race in a generation. SKKEEPS SECRETARY IN TOWN. Mr. Emmett J. Scott secretary of the Meteor Institute, passed through the university en route southward from New York, where he had been attending the college where he can be seen Board, representing Dr. Carson W.

Mr. Scott was detained for health, and speaks optimistically of the outlook for the schools of the state from the million miles idled by the home (from the million miles idled by the late Anna T. Jeanes of Meteor Institute is on tidal wave of meteorological Mr. Scott's description of the buildings that have gone up in recent years and of the many plans for the extension of the work that has been done in the past two decades. Mr. Scott is also corresponding secretary of the National Negro Business League, and has held responsible post over the founding of the Rocky Mountain College in 1909. He is the ideal man for the place, as the phenomenal growth of the organization has demonstrated. Mr. Scott will be next August to be one of the very best of the long and enjoyable series. ROGERS AND CREAMER'S "OLD MAN'S BOY" TO RETURN. So successful was last week's engagement of Rogers and Creamers' Negro players in that "Oil Man's Boy" (the "New Yorker") and "The Great American Boy" (the excellent company has been a number for. The natural acting of Mr. Alex Rogers and the expert stage manager, Mr. C. C. C. C., put them on the highest pinnacle of favor with Washington's critical audiences and they want to see more of them. The "New Yorker" is a very})=\text{ered, as Anson of the original Chicago Cubs did in baseball, that the best way to secure competent players in the world is to be a good player, and the young, virile and ambitious and develop them along the line of their best-selling *The Old Man's Boy* (comes from the young people who have had training in amateur theatricals in and in the US, and have been ripened for the road under the careful tutelage of Rogers and *Dreamer*. If they will be the best-selling one, they will find themselves with the company, taking advantage of the golden opportunity offered them, they will find themselves eventually in the world. They will be the dramatic world, commanding salaries that might never have come their way under other circumstances. With *Rogers and C. C. C. C.* (and they're the only one who has made no restrictions as to how big a hand's any performer may do), they will be the best-selling one. They go to the credit of the show. Everybody has a chance. Billy Harper makes the most of a "fat" comedy part, and they will be the best-selling one. They conception of the happy-go-lucky, Negro, Charles Gilpin is a finished actor and he "Uncle Remus at the Races" and is the only one who has made a performance of the ladies, winsome Ruth Cherry, the dancing wonder, stands out as the most excellent and the most personality of Miss Grace Leckock's shines brilliantly as the prima donna. The "New Yorker" is the only one who has well put on. Miss Jessie Ellis shows to advantage with Mr. Creamers in "Brazilian Dreams."

Rogers and Creamer's "Old Man's Boy company went to Baltimore Sunday to meet a week of engagement. Mr. Hutch M. Macbeth, former editor of the Baltimore School for the Deaf, was located in Los Angeles, Cal., writes from his new home that he is delighted with the country and in the people there. He has been a teacher and law and won his first case before he was half through with his carefully written and well-written article showing up the resources of the "glorious climate of the Southern United States" and the impressions of the social, commercial conditions he finds there. Mr. Macbeth is so well pleased with Los Angeles and does not start for this El Dorado sooner. The new Normal School No. 2 may be named in honor of George Francis Train Cook, a former superintendent of Washington's public schools, and was esteemed as the normal school was founded.

The concert will be under Gibbe Marshall, principal of the conservatory. The death of former Senator Shelby M. Cullom removes one of nature's noblest. Throughout a public service, fifty years ago, he consistently advocate of the rights of man, and he rendered yeoman service field and on the forum. He came of the sturdy stock from which the immortal Lincoln sprang, and there was a right-hand man, and almost constant companion of Mr. Cullom for many years. He was associated with the senator while the latter was chairman of the committee on foreign relations and who was the resident commissioner for the erection of the Lincoln memorial. Senator Cullom never tired of singing the praises of his country, and the faithful colored assistant enabled the latter to serve his race substantially when measures of interest to the Negro were pending in the senate.

EVERYBODY MUST WORK. It was not an easy task to make the student had done his best to make his table win. It was hard to decide. The table food was good and whole-time, and the table was too low to make two pounds a day. At Tuskegee every-body must work. You either go to the library or go to the library. One day is spent in the class room and the other in the factory on the night. You do not think of the thought how do things to build things and leave the inspiration coming from the making of things actually to be used. This is the way that you can do. When I was a philosophy known the world over and this he has been doing for thirty-three years and on a larger scale today than this is on the day of the day of the condition of the masses of the Negroes in the South I visited every part of the country and was often in the long garments, young women making and young girls making cakes and plugs and young girls making jars and jolies, and the other use to make. I linger in the printing department where the Tuskegee is an area of the industry. It was a great time to be printed. Everybody connected with the Student feels that he is connected with the school and that he is always over the country that they are doing big business, printing big ideas and being read by big people. Over in the city of Washington as director; one stands in awe as they watch these young women. It is a very important part of the industry. The industry is all will very departments. She loves them as well as does her children and cares for them like a mother. Another impression is that the school is the cleanliness of the school and grounds. I was fortunate in being printed in the school. But the school was not an easy task. In my own way I found the first class style, clean as a pin and every room in the school was a light and airy. The landscape was one of the worlders of the institution and you can see the way that you can do. In the city of Washington, the "I am a good one" that cleanliness is next to godliness. In the kitchen where they bake and do the cooking is just as good as the sanity. In the office of Principal Washington, DR. WASHINGTON'S SHORT TALKS Not only is the grounds clean and all the teachers are likewise. There is no such thing as who leads in styles and fashion, who is the highest standard of thought.

At night Dr. Washington gives what he terms, "short talks," and they are masterpieces; many of them Lee directed a choir of 100 voices, then the band and symphony orchestra, a solo recital. It was grand and glorious and a moment I shall never forget. Tuskegee is spreading.

Lots of people seem not to realize that it costs money to run a newspaper. A chronic "knocker" is invariably the first to "holler" libel, when he gets a dose of his own medicine. Anyhow, it isn't every negro editor who can be publicly denounced by two Presidents of the United States. The Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks to be named at Norfolk, Va., in August, will be T. Gillis Nutter, the present incumbent, or a successor acceptable to him. Beaumont, Texas, will take excellent care of the National Sunday School Congress of the National Baptist Convention. Texas is a big state and knows how to do things on a big scale. A series of "Great Trials of History" is running in some of the papers of the country. The public is wondering if they will ever get down to "A Celebrated Case" pulled off in Washington in the fall of 1894. A famous authority on dietetics says those who chew their food thoroughly will be the best of all doing Heaven. The opinion of an author is not needed to tell where the folks go who make a speciality of "chewing the rag." Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, a prominent organization, organized bank at Jacksonville, Fla., the firm name of the institution being Anderson, Tucker & Co. The bank was opened to the public on New Year's day. The lengthy editorial is a thing of the past, and the moulders, Tell it quick and speak right to the point. The reading public already knows the salient facts, and the reel with a certainty that the reasoning will be grasped and given the weight to which it is entitled. Cary B. Lewis has justly earned his right to a place in the front rank of American journalists. He won his first prize at the Louisville Courter-Journal. Opt-growing the Kentucky metropolis, he invaded Chicago, and his advent and subsequent success have been a revelation to the denizens of that immense field. Without wishing to interfere with the functions devolving upon the president of the United States, there is a fundamental need for the financiers of the negro race that if Dr. W. R. Pettiford, Jesse Binga or Robert Bingham, Federal Reserve Board, the honor would not be ill-bestowed. They are "some bankers." It is foolish for the various agencies of the race's uplift to fritter away precious strength in fighting one anarchy and turn their united guns upon the common enemy, each using the ammunition it knows best how to use. Remember the old code: "In the essentials, unity; in the potentials, liberty; in all things, charity." M. M. Lewey is organizing a new company of Jacksonville capitalists to bring out The Florida Sentinel in a larger and better form. Mr. Lewey is the chairman of the civil war and runs one of the most complete job printing plants in the South. Under the masterful influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the local Negro Business Leagues everywhere are practically "reorganizing themselves." At Boston, Durham, N. C. Jackson University, and other political parties, the men of business are seeing the advantage of the operation and are getting together for mutual protection and commercial progress. The decision of the United States Supreme Court with reference to the validity of the recall of the grandfatherial clause of the Oklahoma constitution is being awaited with feverish anxiety by hundreds of colored men of means, who will make the state their home, if the civic outlook is made to square with the intent and purpose of the federal constitution. Let us repeat what we have said before: Advertising is as much a part of a business as the rent, the insurance, light and clerk-hire. A clever business man never falls to allot a reasonable amount each year for place in the business before the people to whom he must look for his patronage. It pays to let folks know what you are prepared to do for them. Some thin-skinned folks can not understand that there can be differences or opinion that do not involve questioning. But that is one one's point of view. Thus, that which is "satisfactory" to A is not always satisfactory to B, who is not less fast-skinned than C, who is not less standards are different. Cooksureness does not necessarily mean correctness. Indications multiply in support of the prediction that the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League at Muskogee, Okla., will be held in the fall of 2014 —if not really the greatest. It will bring many interested people into a new and promising country and nummerous people there and help to make it the garden spot of the nation for the Negro race. Roscoe Conkling Simmons does not show up to advantage as a special pleader for the wrongdoer. That brilliant young orator and pennsittist for the Negro race —for causes that appeal to his high sense of justice, fair play and many straightforwardness. Rapping a friend of a specific race in the Col. Simmons, ever frank, fearless and free-handed. The 'metal badge, issued by the National Negro Press Association, is a beauty. It was designed and manufactured by the Central Regalia Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, and circulated by corresponding secretary Henry Brown Boyd, the president. The badge of this badge are entitled to all the courtesies and privileges enjoyed by the reporters of the Associated Press or any of the dailies of the country. In the light of recent developments in Washington, the figure of the late President Obama is the larger in the annals of history. Some think the astute politician and fearless foe of wrongdoers should be honored as a national hero. In recognition of achievements which no other leader has ever had the nerve to attempt. There gutted those who, in Taylor's round form measured up with the biggest and best of them. When we see two useful men struggling for a strangle-hold on each other we can weaken their inability to together for the public good. If they can fight valiantly and effectively for destructive purposes, how much more valiantly and effectively can they achieve achievements! Usually such battles are for trifling reasons, and the masses view the "scrap" with mingled feelings of sadness and not afford to make themselves small by tussling over small issues. Three hundred colored newspapers will be represented at the mid-winter session of the executive committee of the Negro Press Association at Nashville, Friday and Saturday, January 11 and February 1, to press the country, issued by the Association, is a "bell-ringer." It calls attention to the inability to be sensitive to citizens and asks for the Negro only a square deal, a man's chance to meet civilization's demands of manhood. The meeting will be a big success and go well with the effectiveness of the Press Association as a factor in the racial uplift. Colored reporters on white newspapers benefit the race and do not in- ure the circulation of the negro journals of the neighborhood. Each fills in the gaps in the school on the progress and each helps the other by working in harmony. The colored reporter brings the creditable doings of the black community ought to be made aware of them, and the negro papers specialize on perseverance, not not not be handled by journals on other races. Dr. Washington struck the nail on the door in the National Baptist Convention where they live everywhere to see that their meetings and numerous helpful activities are the white papers of their locations by the trustworthy colored reporters. Miss Annie Mae Vann, representing the Norfolk Journal and Guide, conceived to be the best subscription-getting and successful tour of the Carolinas. In Columbia and Florence, S. C. Miss Vann, a graduate of the University in a single week and in the Palmetto state itinerary she added fully five hundred bona fide names to the list of the girls in the Guide. What Miss Vann is doing, other energetic young women all over the land can do, if they will just make the girls in the Guide young ladies? Miss Vann's story of how she 'lands' the almighty dollar and make the people in the land with her was one of the delightful features of the Press Convention at Philadelphia last August. "The Negro Farmer," hailing from the town of Greenwood, just outside of Tuskegee, Alabama, is to make its appearance about the February, 2014, event, "something2needs2nothing" "something needed." It will be devoted to the interests of the 2,000,000 colored farmers in the nation, and to the importance of the influential relation held by "The Country Gentleman" among the Caucasian agriculturists of the land. The fact that the publishing corporation Booker T. Washington, Emmett J. Scott, Warren Logan, Charles H. Gibson and R. R. Logan, is sufficient to make a seriousness proposition. Isaac Fisher, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, is to be the editor of "The Negro Farmer." The paper starts out with the best wishes of Tuskegee between the oceans and thousands of friends in the other race as well. J. B. Bell, of Houston, Texas, is a business man from his heart. He was the first man in the y睫chity of Houston to earn a degree in income tax assessor his return of taxable property, as provided for under the new income tax law. Mr. Bell was born in Georgia at the age of three years to make his fortune in Texas. He is a real estate dealer with an annual gross income of $100,000, part of which is derived from the rentals of forty-six residences owned by him in Houston, where he has lived for over 40 years. Mr. Bell is a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League and he is one of the most successful businessmen in the stones of that body. He is plain and unassuming in manner, but is immensely popular and influential because of his sincerity and straightforwardness in all his dealings with mankind. The “Trade Edition” of the Journal and Guide, of Norfolk, Va., was a triumph in Afro-American journalism, and Editor P. B. Young and his assistants can not be too highly praised for its conception and palinstaking expression. The eight pages of interesting and informing matter, including many columns of first-class advertising that told an illuminating story of the commercial resources of the people of the Tidewater metropolis and of what they are doing for the substantial public. The special feature of write-ups of churches, schools and industries were admirably worked out, and the showings were credible alike to the publishers of the Journal and Guide and to the citizens who are making Norfolk the trade center of the nation between York and Jackson. I can be said with truth that Norfolk has never had a bigger or better advertisement than this “boom edition” of Brother Young’s always live and enterprising paper. It may be timely to say here on this Mr. Young’s address, and the press Association on “Circulation” was one of the very best delivered before that body, and he was very favorably mentioned in connection with the presidency of the organization. FLORENCE, ALA., TRI-CTY THEATRE. Sidney Peton, Willie Thompson, and Pro. Ed Davis brought the house down with a musical trio, their closing. " I wonder Why I'm so old from 1980 to 1985, I think I'm going to be a little kid, sang 'They Alway's Pick on Me' and takes an encore. The last on the bill was Wells & Hughes in a talking and singing act, with " I Wonder If I'll Have a Song, I Don't Go to the Male partner of team, has been with some high yellow girls and got broke and came back hunting for his old black gal, his meal ticket, who he had thrown down. He had a good lesson in the park of his old galk, they're screaming when she gave him money and told him she loved him, but don't mast her up. He go off to dress up. Miss Larue sing " He Don't Treat Me Right, But Love Him. I'm time to go and to come back three times. In come James after she has gone, talking about being on his feet again and he was going to his yellow and take her to the ball. But just as starts off, his old galk has been listening to all the time. So she tells him not to most her up. She out with Colt and shoots and makes him take off everything she had bought and then makes him come on home. I'm a boxer, I'm a curtain drop the people like to patted theirself to death. They just screamed. The last act opens with Election day in Coontown, by the whole company, Sidney Peton gunning for mayor and governor, in house in plenty of comedy, and the people left saying it was the best show they ever saw. The Ewing & Wells Southern Bells Stock Co. were the first to open the store, and bad one of the times of their life. Mrs. Dorca Richardson entertained her daughter, who just came home Colleen Memphis. The guests were Miss Vernon Davis, Miss Ada Standford. Miss Marrello Davis, Miss Richardson, Miss Elye Ewing, Sinney Peton, Mr Ed Davis, Wells Lauder. Everything was very nice. They ate and drank, danced and had the time of their life. Pro.

Ark.-About four hours' ride out of Memphis, almost due to the lack of transportation in Arkansas, a city of which 20,000 Negroes, who live and thrive here, constitute nearly one-half of the total population of the city, so far off among the pines and hills of the state whose name (part French and part Indian) implies 'bend of the slope' in the east of the Mississippi know how rapidly our race is forging to the front in this section. The per capita income of Little Rock is $21.10. When you consider that Arkansas is still largely a farming state; that this city with less than 55,000 Negroes presents municipality in the states that these Negroes are but a half a century removed from slavery, and that the Negroes are still a period when school facilities stood only for the antonym for encouragement, this per capita wealth is a wonderful achievement. The moral advancement of any people emphasizes the educational progress, the opinion of the country, a wise agitator to the contrary, notwithstanding the fact that the Negroes of Little Rock are just as eager for brain wealth as they are for material wealth it can be said that there are legends of the school instructors for higher education" here in this community of 20,000 Negroes, and seventy-one schools and fifty instructors of the same race, in the two colleges. There are fifteen Baptist, twelve Methodean, Catholic, Congregational, Presbyterian and Episcopal denominations to inculcate Christianity and high moral ideas into this hustling Negro community. The Negros here are engaged in practically every line of business the dominant race is engaged in, saving, having, and the way of succeeding the cause of cooperation and their racial pride. The Negros here have $350,000 invested in business entreprises and work in the public market, and the worth of real estate. A very encouraging showing, There are three lawyers' replaid lawyers here, they are only a small part of the practice of a physician who are the equal of any other ten that might be picked from among the white devotees of Esculapius; three skilful doctors and doctors are the only one who are the merchants not including a jeweler and three very excellent drug stores conducted by F. B. Coffin, W. O. Foster and R. T. H. Reddog, active colored female real estate dealer and broker I have met in my travels, in the person of the first and second own along with F. A. Young, the successful masculine real estate dealer who is also colored. There are a number of men of the race, but the two most successful, and really up-to-date ones are those conducted by Luther Moore, who was the first president of the National Leagues and J. L. Blakely. Mrs. Helen Fleetwood, Mrs. Jennie Miller and Mrs. M. E. Jeffries, who are model-lawers with the very most successful and successful with Mrs. Pankey form a quartette of energetic, intelligent and successful Negro business women. In my time the men of the most milles that I have only met with two Negro wholesale commission merchants and Little Rock has one of these in W. T. Taylor, who does business by tobacco and other dollars. In the same month, John E. Bush, National Grand Secretary of the Mosaics, is reputed to be the wealthiest Negro here, and he has the only other one of the most Mosaic temple rivaling the fine Odd Fellows temple at Atlanta, Ga., is a tribute to the energies and race incarcerated in communities boast of such public splitting rites men as John E. Bush, Attorney Scipio E. Jones, C. R. Jordan, B. W. Jackson, other Moorhead Taylor and others. Here is a lesson in this business. Negro Business League Little Rock has a fine organization for the promoting not only of business among the race but of the culture along every honorable and desirable line. The progress being made by the race here is most encouraging, and it demonstrates the power in organization. One who visits Little Rock can not leave without calling upon that old patriarch, that he has been re-called to "Old Guard," Judge Mifflin F. Gibbs. More than ninety years have rendered the Judge's motor members his leg, and he was not even in the same state, still, in-founded in 1915, is as keen as ever, dropped in on him while here, and listened to his story of his life, as he was in the first place, as he was in the first forest, when he first located here, to a most pretentious city; listened to his story of the progress of the race, and the path he has been of the race, from the time he was one of the "Fool tyniners" who went with the "California or bust" crowd, in 1948, in question at the time when his race controls more than a million dollars of real estate, and has more than three hundred and fifty hours in the year he has been grow, figuratively, from an acorn to an oak. Before the Judge retired, and that was a number of years before he was in the country, the wealthiest Negro in the country. Some years ago he told me he had fifty thousand dollars when he arrived—more than sixty times ago—and had never had a dollar since, How much had been added to that fifty thousand he did not say. A Philadelphia's Dirtty Veggie's is the most popular adoption, he possesses still all the charm and conservatism of the natives of the City of Brotherly Love. From him I became much about Life, the most important about the most, most hospitable and progressive of our race, who are registering a high water mark. He has been success but in the�ic Arkanasa metropolis. Many beautiful homes owned and occupied by Negroes here, the splendid business house. He was a street, in the high order of the Mosaic Temple, is the high order of intelligence to be found among the twenty thousand Negroes here. It is evidence of the greatness of which he was of the same kind as the Mississippi have this side of the Mississippi have any idea of Race prejudice only serves to resolve the problem of the development and the magnitude of his achievements—and these achievements are surely and slowly perhaps, reducing this prejudice to a minimum. They are not the problem in Little Rock, and the problem is not discussing it. FEMALE PROWLERS STRIPPING CLOTHES LINES. Competitive Electric Lighting-Unity Involved in a Recreation in Masonville Hall (BY J. E. W. CLARKE.) HELENA, Montana, January 26.—The nice warm weather we are having this winter is increasing the size of the greenhouse, and I think January ended and only once did the thermometer reach the zero point. HeLENA received a lightning visit from H. M. Grayson of Chicago last week. M. Grayson came to Helena on special business for—well, he is not talking about it, but says he may be interested in helping Grayson. Made a good impression on the Helena folk. Last week the writer's attention was attracted early Wednesday morning on seeing two women with an improvised tape measure, endeavoring to get the women to tie their hair. A light snow had fallen in which dainty feet had left their impression, betraying the sex of the intruder. These sheer cloaks were evidence against the female prowler who stripped their clothes lines, while they peacefully slumbered, of nearly every article of choice lined with a thick layer of snow. Hettie Stevens, one of the loosers in this "touching" incident is very indignant, to say the least, and would no doubt be found find no use for the line and pole than supporting clothes. Competitive electric lighting in Helena will soon be a realization. The city fathers last Monday night prepared the event on March 28th to give the people of the city an opportunity to vote upon the question as to whether a 25-year old can compete in electric power, which will compete with the Helena Light and Railway Co. in supplying Helena's consumers' electric power, and introducing features in the controversy before the Council was an appeal by a representative of the electric power industry in insertion of a clause in the franchise compelling the new company to hire none but union labor. This attempt was defeated. Prof. S. R. R. S. Stewart, pianist and baritone, left Helena Tuesday on a conference in Wyoming, Missouri and states farther east. Thursday evening, the 223, Bathsheba Chapter No. 10, O. E. S., gave a reception to Unity Lodge, A. F. and A. M. fully decorated with flags and the colors of the O. E. S. The many good things to eat set before the guests, the musicians, and the epicurean. The ladies having in charge the arrangements, seemed not to have spared themselves in an endeavor to surely them. Short talks were made by many of those present, and the event closed to be regretted by all that each hour contained only short minutes.

GEORGE L. KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, FEB. 7, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Old winter's kind a tightening his grip, ain't he? It's to be hoped that Judge Deery and Chief of Police Perrott will not have a cat and parrot of a time. The Virginia Grand Lodge of K. of P. and the Supreme Lodge will have to learn to have more brotherly love. President Wilson has lifted the embargo on the exportation of the munitions of war to Mexico. He has wisely concluded to let them kill themselves out. The belligerent spirits once dead it will be a long time before another crop ripens. The Y. M. C. A. membership teams are making a vigorous campaign for 1,000 members. The Indianapolis Colored Y. M. C. A. is already the banner association as to membership. With the 1,000 members the splendid lead will be maintained for many a day. A letter from Kalamazoo, Mich., calling attention to the treatment of the colored Masons who recently met there, said, "We are open up especially for the visitors, but no meal could be had for less than 45 cents. It looks as if the white folk and the colored folk got together on the poor visiting brothers. Mr. Murphy, of Tammany fame, is doing a bit of squirming. He is getting a dose of his own medicine. The National Democratic Club of New York has demanded that he step aside as the chief of Tammany Hall. He is fighting for his political existence, basing his hope of success on a technicality. He challenges the method of the vote that asked his retirement from the head of that organization. Verily a drowning man grabbeth at a straw. Senator Vardaman told President Wilson that he would oppose the confirmation of the nomination to any colored man to office. This may not be the case, but he would most likely the senator from Mississippi. However, we can stand very much of him just so he lets that little pet of his sleep—reading the Negroes out of the constitution. The senator had special reference to the nomination of Judge Robert H. Terrell to succeed himself By the large vote of 203 to 54, the House of Representatives at Washington opposed, this week, the proposed Asiatic Exclusion Act. The action of the house is held to be in the interest of our relations with Japan. It is a rather hopeful note to the colored races generally in that they are being considered at Washington. The traveler from the old world may not be the most hopeful object, yet in swinging elections, the cliques of our country as a social organization remains—"the land of the free, the home of the brave." It begins to look as if the president's term of office and the date of inauguration were to remain as they have been. The senate judiciary committee, this week, voted to report adversely on a constitutional amendment to that effect. The amendment, which was by Senator Shafroth, would have advanced the commencement of the presidential term from March 4 to the second Monday in January following election of each new congress for the first Monday in January instead of March 4. It is thought that a similar resolution now pending in the house will not be considered at this session. Le dernier ukase de la mode. The last word of fashion for women from Paris has it that the waist line would advance if possible. The waist will dare widely, showing the whole neck and very much of the front, which shows up in a V-shape, the opening terminating when the waist belt is reached—a plenteous front. The skirt will stay slit—quite to the knee. The legs will be bound in ribbons that cross and re-cross according to taste of wearer, this up to the knee, at least. This is something of the effect of the early Romans. The shoes are sandal like, caught up by the thong like binding that wind up the stockings. Did you get it? GOVERNOR BLEASE ON OUR MORALITY. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, in his recent report to the legislature of that state had much to say of the negroes, and which in the most part was not very complimentary. He said: "The negro race has absolutely no standard of morality. They are, in that respect, a class by themselves, as marital infidelity seems to be their most favorite pastime. If every negro in this state that is guilty of bigamy or marital infidelity is brought up and convicted, labor will be much scarcer than it is and many acres that are now cultivated will be idle." The governor is very much mistaken in saying that the Negro has no standard of morality. He has exactly the same standard as that of the white race. The Negroes are a lowly people as a whole. In the thing of morality they compare very well with other owly classes. If the Negroes do not conform to the standard as well as the white people it is simply because they are not up as a whole. Their average is not so high. The trouble is that our race critics seek to compare us with the elect of the white people. As slum against slum, is the way to do it. Middle society against middle society; high society against high society. Now then, give us your figures. A NEW PRESIDENT FOR HAITI. Three hundred men of the rival revolutionaries were killed in the battle between the two forces at Gonalves, according to advises received here today. The adherents of Senator Davillar Theodore were defeated by the followers of General Orestes Zamor, formerly government delegate at Cape Haftien. Senator Theodore and his men were driven back in a northerly direction to Plaisance, on the road to Cape Haftien. General Zamor today proclaimed himself president of the republic. Carlos Zamor, government delegate at Gonalves, assisted his brother in the battle, and General Desormes fought by their side. Fire broke out in the city of Gonalves during the battle. Fifteen houses were destroyed, but no foreign property was damaged. The Mexican spirit of rebellion and revolution has caught in the little Nego republic. It is useless to say that thoughtful race men are disheartened at the recent outbreak. That country has been looked on as the fairest example of Negroes at self-government. Whether it be just or not, the Negroes everywhere lose in respect as a people worthy of the utmost citizenship. One can not help but think that of those the negroes are scarcely saved when will they appear." In this case the Haitians as the best at self-government are not being scarcely saved. The country is falling back, politically speaking. And the political serenity of a nation is one of its best tests of superior civilization. Ravenous, greedy men, hungering for power and money are responsible—those to whom all eyes turn as the bringsers of salvation. These failing, to where shall we turn. They know not what they do. Shall they be forgiven? THE VIRGINIA LODGE OF K. OF P. WILL NOT LOSE CHARTER. At the biennial meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias at Baltimore last summer there arose a difficulty between the Virginia Grand Lodge and the Supreme Lodge concerning the financial status of the latter body. The Virginia lodge, headed by John Mitchell, Jr., protested against the business methods of the Supreme Lodge, insisting that it was hopelessly in debt, and instead of reducing its expenses was rushing headlong, regardless of its financial condition. Its business integrity was impached. Charges were made which greatly incensed the members of the Supreme Lodge. They were of such a nature that that body felt there was no course to pursue short of revoking the charter of the "obstreperous" body. This was done. The case was bitterly fought through the Richmond Planet, the most influential race publication of Virginia. John Mitchell, Jr., the editor, is also the Grand Chancellor of the K. of P.'s for his state. He is also a banker and enjoys a fine reputation as financier, being the only Negro who is a member of the American Bankers' Association. The prominence of Mr. Mitchell, who led in the attack, made for a most bitter fight. The fight was carried to the Supreme Court, District of Columbia. This body, January 30, 1914, refused to grant the plea of the Supreme Lodge, that the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of Virginia be dismissed with costs on the plaintiff and decided that the action of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. in session at Baltimore, Maryland, August 26-30, 1913, in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and ordering the dissolution, was unconstitutional and unlawful. It issued a sweeping injunction restraining the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme Chancellor or their agents anywhere in the United States from interfering with the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias on account of any such alleged evocation of the charter. It forbids the issuance or circulation of any proclamation, letter, or other form of the Grand Chancellor's agents based upon the alleged evocation of the charter and dissolution of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. Mr. Justice Gould announced that the question of the constitutionality of the tax levy by the Supreme Lodge upon the members of the several grand jurisdictions would be finally decided by the Court. This will result in a complete review of the cast by competent authority and the constitution's amendment of the new Constitution at Baltimore, Maryland, will also be settled. John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia; Thomas M. Crump, G. K. of R. and S., and R. C. Mitchell were present during the deliberations. The Grand Lodge was represented by Hon. Clarence R. Wilson, Paul E. Lesch, Esq., and James F. Minor, Esq., the latter making the argument, and the Supreme Lodge by Mr. James A. Cobb and Henry E. Davis, Esq., the latter making the argument. THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF ASKATIC PROPERTIES. Many of us, and who are true-blue patriots, prefer to think of the nation as it is sung about. "The land of the free and the home of the brave." This has meant the wide extended arms, welcoming whoever would come. The utmost patriot would not see his country fall short of that. It's a most beautiful theory. It has electrified the world. The denizens of Europe, of the world of mankind who had long despired of reaching the status of citizens in all that the term implies were lifted up by the hopeful intelligence. At night, at noon, they turned with faces to the west, as the good Musselman turns to Mecca when uttering his orisons. In time they came to the promised land, so to speak, finding it all that was said of it, and more than what was said of it if it they chose to make it that way. They found that America was the subject of their making. It would be what they would have it—the land of the free, the home of the brave. But, in the country's development changes have come. Men as races have been studied, and in relation to other races. While our country is made up of those from the ends of the earth, of the restless and discontented spoken of, yet these have shaped an organization which has greatly outclassed most of those of the older world, and from which they sprang. In fact they find that they have wrought so finely that to introduce all classes of "original" men wholesale would be attended with some danger. modern home, 500 Crowdus St....M and Mrs. A. G. Sheaperson and daug. A Hurry Knowing well our own status as a race it would ill become us to surrender to any such program as was contemplated by the house of representatives at Washington. But looking at the matter dispassionately, aside from the particular race affiliation we are impressed with the idea of probable danger in permitting masses of individuals to enter the country who are radically opposed to us in customs and traits. And perhaps this objection, had it been sustained, would have opposed more theoretically than practically. Not many Hindus, Malays or Africans took shelter in the gates of Castle Garden. The Mongolians in the Chinese and Japanese, have long since read the writing on the wall. They have governed themselves accordingly and now look with eyes askance toward our shores. This thought suggests the recent difficulty with the Japanese and a former difficulty with the Chinese. We are not attempting to defend the proposed legislation. We are trying to lay the facts of the case bare before our readers. Downright selfishness, self-interest, self-defense, would declare against those who can be no true part and parcel of the country. But what are we to do with the spirit of our constitution, of our institutions, of our citizenship? Must we turn the door against the helpless and hopeless? As Negroes, perhaps we should look strictly after our own and of our peoples. As African Americans building out its peoples, nor has it ever done so. We are saved humiliation in the instance, because Negroes do not come from Africa to this country. Theoretically the Africans are included, consequently we, the United States Negroes, have more than a passing interest in the proposed restrictions.

The Crown Garden has a galaxy of good ones this week. The quality. The work of Jones and Jones is particularly mercurious, and the good entertainers. Thomas Melton, the tramp musician; Chayburn wives the good entertainers; and Ray Bailey, a dainty songstress. Jones and Jones, High Class Entertainers. Archie and Edna Jones are a clever pair of entertainers. Edna doing strange things is more people than are surprisingly good. Archie, as a comedian, has the correct dope for any kind of actress. Edna has his acting ability, which is of the best among colored performers. He would rather work with someone without regard to his bad places in his work. Everything he says and does is good. He is witting, Edna is of undoubted stage distinction. She has all the graces. She is a charming actress on her stage movements. Her costumes, which she designs herself are oriental and Turkish. The order of the costumes of Turkish ladies of quality. They are rich in quality, and well become her splendid star. She has a head to head to foot. She is none the less delightful when she puts the talk to Jones as the very mad man makes A Hurry-up Run for Tickets to See String Beans STRING BEANS WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK WONDER IF I WILL GET THERE IN TIME TO GET A SEAT? LOOK OUT! ME FOR THE RUBY GOT TO HAVE A TICKET TO SEE THE BEAN a big hit. He knows how to tell just how mad he is—too mad for utterance. Both do a nice piece of business this point. He makes good singing posture but not "Tetra," his position. Both sing "I Am the Guy, which is well put over. It is a dream." "Dreamland Glide," a dance that gets them the applause. This is their own dance, done when both are splendidly costumed while it is costume de rigueur, if which is not costume de rigueur, a George Walker stunt. The act will be a pleasing number on any bill. The Butlers, Gus and Trixy, in an Interesting Skit. The Butlers come near presenting a problem play. At the closing the audience asks the audience to decide whether he shall take his wife back again after she has left home by leaving home with another man. Gus appears as a hard-working man whose industry is such that he becomes all of this industry is that he may have dollars to bring home. The female of all of this industry is that he may be influenced from her home by a tempting the hard-working man, the work-ox, as she calls him, supplies the money for an escort she returns in time for her husband been engaged in the meantime and ragged. In the meantime, she must find the bones, on which she found his only aim. The scene between the two is quite touching; but the woman in leaving the audience against her. She pleaded for mercy and forgiveness, but the missing man was stunned his dole as the audience withdrew with sang the "Dying Rag," fell to her knees and all that, but the "work-ox" skittled in his respect. Providence is intensely interested. Both of the performers are good in their parts, showing clearly the intent of the The team is in demand. It halls from the cast, where it has been successfully engaged. It will play a rea chicago, in March. At the Monogram Chicago, in March. RAY BAILEY. SONGSTRESS. Ray Ballie is not new to Crown Garden patrons. She will be remembered three times, she rendered numbers when she was here, she back with three more bright, cheerful songs which she does in a taking way. Miss Ballie has that book look, a pretty face. These, together with her didgums, make for a very stumbling stage appearance. She is pretty on or off the stage. She sings "Kiss Me, I've Never Been Kissed Before." She does not sing it but she sings it. The way she sings it and the way she looks, many a fellow would take her as her word. Her other songs are songs she sings, and these are done in her characteristic way. Her movements are winsome and pleasing. Her voice is correct for her style of songs. She knows how to sing her songs over most artistically. THOMAS MELTON, TRAMP MUSL CIAN Thomas Melton is known at the Crown for his "eccentric" music. It is not eccentric at all; it is good music, but done in odd ways. He lies on the floor playing his violin with his foot, and such like unheard-of stunts. He opens playing a tune on a broom-handle which he has made into a musical instrument. He plays a good violin, making a good impression by his fine tones and the quality of his music. Melton plays a sweet solo on an old bucket which looks useless enough. He reminds one of the old, old song, "There's Music Everywhere." He gets it in every way he turns. He writes his own music. Melton has added a knockout feature since last seen in Indianapolis. He has improvised a set of chimes from what appears to be common whisky bottles. The outfit looks as trampy as he does and he is some tramp any who is greatly inflicted with the creepers. He does pretty much what he wishes to do with his bottle chimes, playing them with skill. The stunt is great. He takes encores. The act would be a good one on any bill. Claybrooks and Claybrooks, Cornet Virtuosos. Alphonso and Jennie Claybrook are a little dancing, doing neat, refined things. female partner, whose dance work is airy, and elegant. They open on their cornets, doing a medley of popular ales. They are neatly costumed and dressed, their attire mimics the nicely dressed, then does the "Columbia Polka," beginning with a plain straight movement, then it increased in difficulty, when the singer sings a melody, then ticed. His triple tongue and ascending and descending scale passages proved him quite a master of his lyrical art, and was nicely applauded, a compliment to Mr. Claybrook's ability. Their Somebody Loves You Dear "Is it a song?" was as a duet; the sweet-toned instruments told a beautiful story. It was a grand, sweet song, grandly executed, harmonious and rhythm being the features. Miss Jennie Chaybrooks sang "Wonderful Child" with a pleasing voice. She performed little performer, holding down new parts in the nicest way. She "knew" the performer to the "Chicken Reel" where they show clever work as dance artists. They sing "Carolina." Their work is neat and classy, going stricly on its merits. W. L. THE PEKIN, THE LINCOLN, CINCINNATI, OHIO The Pekin has another attractive program this week. Crampton & Bailey, strangers on the avenue, are the most active theater and lively act and were well received. May & May (String Beans) is the most popular theater that packs the house four times. This act has appeared here on numerous occasions, but they always have some special interest that pleases a Cinchmati audience. The Lincoln Theater offers a bill this week that is a novelty. The opening act is a trained pony, performed with almost human intelligence. This act is a treat to the younger element. Tom (The Youngest) rendered some beautiful selections on his violin, of which he is a master, on the avenue only a few weeks ago, returned with a new sketch. The bill as a whole is a very pleasing one, the Lincoln should do a big business. AT THE AUDITORIUM THEATER. PHILADELPHIA Roberson & Carnnick, singing comedy and cake walking open the show and even big. Rob big, singing new songs and a nice dance went good. She knows how to put her work on good songs. The Taylorrite, a team from the West, did some good work. Mr. Tayr is funny, and Mrs. Tayr is pretty. John H. Smith, the manager, closed the show, assisted by Joe Bright and Potter and sent everyone out happy. Mr. Sam Lewis was a big hit here two weeks ago and said to his friend, "You're off six months? And John says yes, Then a bet. Sam loses, as John did come back and some more. Good Miss Grandy is still on the sick list. Policeman Wilson is out again. Second week Buster and Rock Pile, and still holding them. These two boys are good. Return date of Leonce Lazzo Johnson in new songs. Went fine. Joe Bright, a fat little boy, told some good stories and funny jokes and sang "Won't Dot Be a Dream." Little Joe is good and has plenty of stuff. Good act. Dora Patterson Trio closed the show and was good. Miss Patterson looks as good as ever, and Harry Stoute of the Trio played the villain to beat the band, and was a big hit. The comedian is a good singer. Good act. Officer George Wilson is again on the sick list. Also Miss Florence Grandy, the cashier (ticket seller). We hope to see her out soon. Good business. MAY & MAY WILL HEAD BIG COMPANY. May & May, as "Sweet Papa's String Beans" just closed two weeks at the Crown Garden theater, Indianapolis. Playing Pekin theater, Cincinnati, O. this week. This is the best team of its kind in the business. The work is great. Beans is there when he hits the stage, the people can't keep from laughing. F. M. King, from New York, is with him in Cincinnati. He wants him to carry a show out next season, starring him with fifty people. He will be some drawing card because he is the talk in this part of the country and the south. If he stays in health he will be a star next winter. He will organize in New York with plenty of support. Look for this young man to develop himself. By M. H. Smith. PENSACOLA, FLA.

How many of our great true ones have passed over the brink, But some have gone without warning, and some have gone without a fall, And some have gone not knowing they and made their last curtain call. Now friends, I am just speaking, just an opinion of my own. Let me tell you, entering that longed for, and talked of, home. Many are going and many are coming, and they go and come forever, But one hears the cry of "Cleret," one and only "Cleret." Oh, pap Billy, we all miss you much, and what of all the racket? But lo, there's two receptions we miss most of all, and that's picture "Ne and Ragged Jacket." Good, we, Dear Billy, you've gone you've done your best. But listen, Billy's not gone any place he's only taking a rest." STAGE NOTES. Madge Clinton and Frances in Indianapolis this week. Martin & Motely are at the Pekin Theater, Montgomery, Ala.

Go To Church on Sunday Slogan Di vides Wish 'an endeville and Picture The war cry of religious workers that bat so forcibly against vaudeville and moving pictures, materialized last week, is the "day" cards displayed in store windows had weight as the most important mission of Christian women and suffragette organizations. The children at mattees and Sabbath school hour who snowbailed each other and interfered with the eager throne of church pedestrians and theater companies, the real meager in youthful attendance, the Sunday schools were unusually full while moving pictures had divided the audience into two real competitives were the photo play purveyors. The Pekin theatre, which has opened with exclusive high price tickets, was the most attendance, "Kathlyn" heavily features was placed on record at the Phoenix Washington and Alamo Theatres. The States theatre had "To Err is Human" theatricality, "Dawn." Big houses were the rule. At eight o'clock I hurried around to Bethel church to catch the sermon but not get in. People were turned away. Strong Colored and White Acts at the Grand Theater. The Four Dancing Strollers was one artistic conception of singing and dancing. Simms, who was the comedy producer, James Marshall, Rose Brown and David Wallace in modern act, took four encores. The white acts were Teddy Hardcastle, an interesting talented comedian in modern act, pawed, Otto Arco, first prize athletic champion and his brother, won favor and Harry Von Fossen, humorist in modern act, half of the last week had Lew Canton Choo Choo girls, who went big. Stanton and Carter "Jolies Dee" twins, good. Troupe Roup had a very novel act and Rector and Carey were fair, nounced good by an ex-sailor, with arms tattooed by an artist, who was present, with the critic. Manager Duke Bramman has been obliged to re- Susie Sutton, Character Artist, Captures at the Monogram. Those who may have remembered Jones and Sutton on the big time several years ago, can see this real artist, especially in Italian dialect creation, and her comedy also captivated. The rest of the mons were apt funmakers and dancers and Pugh and Pugh and the Mississippi trio managed to make fun enough to keep the house merry. The singing and singing of the latter was good. Four Good Acts at the New Monogram. Franco Four certainly delivered the goods in a novelty and comedy act which qualified. Will Mastin and Virgile Richards took on encores in tango and the Carrion trio made good, especially Mr. Carrion whose monologue was rich and legitimate and the little girl gancer was singing. LaBlanche Young was very attractive in love songs and her genuine alto voice was beautiful. State Notes and Stroll News. The Kentucky Harmony Four: Louis Craddock, tenor; Danny Frazier, second bass; Danny bartonius. L. Hoodleston, bass; are with "The White Slave" company. The young team of Brown and Brown have changed their name to Brown and Morgan, and Morgan again in place of a vacancy by sickness, in a new act which qualified legitimately and gave much pleasure to the boy Chapparé who is Emily Brown's wife, was a rare lip in a news boy. William Henry Jackson, of the team Jackson and Marquette died on the 8th of November at Toronto, Canada, from a complacent stroke. Morgan was buried at Detroit, Mich., was a good entertainer. The team had appeared at the Grand and Marquette Jackson, who was Morgan Jackson, just closed a successful engagement at the Monogram. Andrew Tribble has dissolved partnership with Matt Marshall, claiming that the latter had thrown him down on the floor, implying contracts. Tribble himself was white managers. It est regard from white managers. It is intimated that Manager Klein has offered him a salary to manage the Monogram and consolidated circuit. Billy Cumby's trio is now on the Monogram circuit, at the Star Hipplidrome, with the Grand to follow before leaving for Peoria. Harry Brown, of Brown & Hodges, cartoonist, recently gave a special matinee for the colorist and some theatre. He booked for a return at the Grand and is nowilling Earl Cox's time on the Metropolitan circuit. Mother Annie Rogans, of Dayton, Ohio, has been spending a few days in the city, the guest of Mrs. Collins Johnson, 355 Vernon Ave., has a very nice house and has a host of friends in the Windy City. The report last week that S. H. Dudley was arrested from the consolidated agency by Klein and Owsley, was confirmed by Martin Klein. The present firm will continue. Emma Griffin, the attorney, has led theley to go in with her but he had chosen the white man, backed up by a theatre proprietor's money instead and the lawyer, who is the critic, might state that it does not make much difference about the color of the booking agents. What we want is honest, square men to book but they must have financial backing. The latest news from New York is that Jesse A. Shipp has taken the man's job. This is good news. It is understood that he is to be assisted by Sam Corker, Jr. While Sam Corker is possessive executive ability of the first order and it will be necessary for Jesse Shipp to be more concerned with command issues, Corker is the man- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER agement is to meet with success.

Hilliard, for open eight weeks at the King Ed- wards Theater, Nova Scotia, Hallifax. The company, a cleaning and card manipulator, scored a big success at the cabaret and song review last week in Brooklyn, where he performed with the audience of Billy E. Jones.

Next on the bill is the mysterious Zin-ga brothers, who hold the audience spellbound for thirty minutes, telling them about things that they happen and what is going to happen, this being their second week, making five weeks in this house in four months and is the best box office card that has ever been made. They never tire at Rob and his little brother. Then the bill closes with a big feature. Manager Hogan books strictly independent, that's why he gets the best rating. PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mr. Geo.

Some day these little ladies will be great stars, collectively or individually. Mr Ed Hunter was very comical in his "Prison" scene and his "Six Round Bout" is a scream. JACK BLACKBURN HAILED AS A TERROR. By the pardon of Jack Blackburn, the colored pugillist, who was served a life sentence in a Philadelphia jail, another welterweight is launched into the midst of pugilds who, five years ago stood when Gibbons stands on day, Whale was a master boxer with one of a wallop. Just when Blackburn was at his best and mowing 'em down two a week, he got into a brawl over in Philadelphia and came to his bulls to be started, other woke from his breath. Self-defense was all that saved Jack from the noose or the final shock, as the custom may be over there. Back in 1908 Blackburn performed the feat of beating a heavyweight weighing of 90 pounds, and the in-line of three weeks, training down and beating a crack lightweight at 133 pounds ringside. His career henceforth will be worth watching. He is thirty years of age. Apparently he is a rigorous man over the back? Rising anteants alone will decide that. When the great mulatto boxer was at the top of his form, he was sidesteped by boxers of every form. Even Sam Langford passed him up. Not one seemed able to get past Blackburn's answer left hand, and well-timed right-hand 40 ft. Should the McFarland-Gibbons battle fall through, the world's wetterweight champion will all doubt in a battle between Gibbons and Blackburn, provided Mike doesn't draw the coor line. Such a bout would pack the Garden if the Boxing Commission would rescind its "mixed bout" to allow the never been able to supply a reason. THE DARKTOWN BUTTERFLY MINSTRELS. The Darktown Butterfly Minstrels, under the management of W. E. Page, is now in the Lone Star State (Texas) showing to a larger audience each night.

At the Majestic, week of February 9th, The Broadway Belles will appear and offer to the fun-loving amusement patrons of The Majestic two burlesks. Just as the public has just begun, what the public wants and in his present offering he has far exceeded all previous efforts in this direction and has developed one of the best effectors of the show for two years. Every character in the two burlesks are true to nature and founded on fact, the chief one being模elleried about the peculiarities that the company appealed to the author's fancy and may be readily recognized by all as some one you have met. There is a pleasingness in the company is not strained or forced but out by a coterie of comedians and trained voices in the makeup of the Broadway Belles, and their efforts to please by the rendition of only the latest music, poems, or appreciated. There is a curious presence of two gowns indies who appear in many different songs and dances and display their figures in beautiful and costly gowns. Beyond that, they are by this company. All the scenery used in the production, all the electrical and mechanical effects novel in nature were designed to be novel for the Broadway Belles company. FROM CHICAGO TO ATLANTA (By Jul Jones, Jr.) From Chicago, Ill. to Atlanta. Ga., is not much of a travel, but it's worth while. My first Jacksonville, Ill., is with a small均可spent showmen. Jackville has a long show, a show town. On the other hand the colored man is doing better than any of the small towns in the north. The Marathons are very good. In the news and social world, my next stand is Indianapolis, Ind., the standout city of the city in the U.S., that has a few Pansies in the mass and mass masses mix better than any small town in this country or as far as have been. Indianapolis boasts a large number of people in the city. In the country the best M.C.A. in America, more theaters under colored management than any of the other cities. The 1st house are all under colored control. The most common is the one colored vaudeville house is well managed from back to front, has the best mannered acts. The shows are on. Daytime, Ohio, city that has just come from under the flood, dropped into reform. From the outlook the reform may do all things good. When it is in houses in Dayton, there is by a white with a colored manager, another run by a colored man, managed by a white man. In this case honors are even. It is the most clear and the most good as you please. It takes these two contrasts to make the business. The audience mix well in the free for all the time. There is many whites as there are, a colored as a very performance. Dayton has a future. Next stand, Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the town among towns from every angle in the country, and will never unless things change, and will never unless things change. There is a divided feeling. There is nothing to look forward to. If so, they concealed splendid houses, just enough to fulfill by Billy Eames JULI JONES JR THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER credit to any race. But nothing to pride of or showing for the much styled fifty years of freedom. We will have the same place of freedom. We will be of the Georgia colored man. Let us hope more will be built soon. The first place of the first the first program, and Decatur street is the most 'talk' of street in the south. The street itself is no more than Hester Street. You know, the Philadelphia Wiley Avenue, Pittsburgh 27th and Annex Avenue, Chicago, mixed with Jones Greeks and Negroes. All of the books are free to read. All of the books, but none carry them to the good streets. It's only the high toned good streets being the most common of the first trouble. The theatrical situation is about evenly balanced. There is two different types of the theater and two white management wording to the management is quite in keeping. The Decatur St. and Jones Greeks would be a flat failure unless they were to be a rough element, which compose a set of young men ranging from 12 to 22. The first period of the months and few simple, don't-ear young women whose patrons of two house under white management. There is no more than the number of million. The acts that play these houses. The act has their much-known and unlike the Autan theater and Mitchell. The theater are conducted on the modern plan. The audience all of the better class. The show is the whole of street, which is a bit for the late John W. Isham, a man who is known his place, on the job all the time. It's not only the job of the all the time but in Reel Braman, the manager of the Majestic, is an enterprising young woman. That will cost the good in time. Mr. Cosine is a fair-minded manager that will make good life. The new office is the view the colored theatergoers takes on the Jim Crow stand. Some of the most dresses and behaved in the�ore laddies and gentlemen. Forssyt theater, the Keith house of the city. Jim Crowed by and reasoned the way he was to the place of the house to set to one side among the lowest breed of colored boys that are out of the work house. The coloured boy is the first place for a colored woman. The rough whites on the opposite side of the house's all like gentlemen when it comes to the place of the old man with a tend Forssyt theater. The white officer has been a huge one of the most important language. The white man is a great city, shows the progressiveness of our northern cities. He is the most interesting the class of Negroes he has to deal with. From the colored man's standpoint something of the unusual will have to be to assess it. It will be the most well-known class of colored people. Can't set up the class of the other two than the same thing? I have saved acting good, as this gang will certainly bring trouble to their doors. The biggest wonder in this world is that the Atlantic is the best and the world of his work is the solid whiskey? Atlanta may prosper for the white man, but what will become of the black man? WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUDLEY CIRCUIT Week of February 2, 1914. Washington D. C.—S. H. Dudley Theatre, Lew W.

It is now fairly settled as to who Jack Johnson is. But as a clincher I run, and am seen in a recent lecture of a St. Louis publication: Sir—Is Jack Johnson still the champion, and what was the result of his last fight? O, H. He is still the champion. He has fight, with a negro heavyweight Johnson, at Paris last month. It was a ten-round affair, and after the fight it was announced that Johnson still retained the title. Some of the fight experts are yet unconstructed, have not surrendered, have given in to insure Jack the title until it is wrested from him or until he deceived him with the requirements. What those requirements can be, it is not so easy to see or imagine. The champion practically does not if that he failed to live up to them that it would be cause for retirement. In event Johnson did not succeed his successor? The sport experts answer that perhaps such an emergency is prepared for if so have not heard of the position of Wales of the fighting business? This note was found floating, around subject particular lodgment: Jack Johnson is going back to Paris. Tried to break into England Saturday, with a team of Staffordshire, but the newspapers raised such a holler that the leases on the football field to be used was canceled, and all the halls barred against All that's being said about Johnson is not true. However, one can not divide error from complication, but of course, with a grain of salt. From the note one would get the impression that Jack is person a non graft in England or what is generally known. More than once I have said Johnson is a very problem means. She has nearly total Africa for redeemment. There will not be two hundred plus years as a probationary term, but from the bush. What's that to do with Jack Johnson's championship? Why every year when he states the statesmen, the politicians, have given it out that a bad precedent is established when a black man whips a white man in the state of Africa where the negroes are struggling to civilization as a button, where England contends this means many millions. Our race struggle will look like thirty cents when compared to what's coming for Not long since I gave to this publication a letter from a distinguished British possessions who bitterly complained because he was not permitted to move into another British possession, this his own. If one cares to think about it, he can readily see how this could be. Australia, for instance, does not allow people to emigrant. What to be done about it? Who is to do it? The Japanese question in America would not be moved in spite of Wilson, Bryan and the whole ship crew of the war. What a mixup for England is the raising of the races! Is it plain why Mr Johnson isn't much sought after evertheless, and everlastingly, and in two directions—past and the future. This "wail and stray" was caught up on the "eddying waters"? Gunbant Smith and R. W. Lardner differ in at least one detail. Mr Johnson ambition to fight Jack Johnson, if it were our ambition to fight at all, we'd rather be matched with one in the British possessions, boxing impressario, said his manager. Gunbant Smith deserves credit for being politically honest. He wants you to come to be the straight gate. He does not come as a thief in the night—to plunder—to take from one unaware the result of the toil and hard work. When he beating faints is another question. I like him because he would fight if he would win. And white men ought to cut it out, taking their faults and belonging to them. It sounds bad to grove who in spite of the white man's faults thinks him fairer and squareer than themselves. It's shocking to have your idols shattered. One of them is straight. "Gumboot" Smith, claimant of the heavy weight championship, who has been matched to box twenty rounds and won unipled possession of the title July, was a happy fighter yesterday. The big fellow believes Willard is the only fighter he will have to beat to win undisputed possession of the title fight Jack Johnson. I am pleased to secure a match with Willard. I am pleased to beat the title fight twenty rounds, and I am sure can do it again. He is so big, tough fellow, but I am sure I am his master, heavier than over the other white heavierweights over the other white with me, and I am glad my manager arranged the fight. He has only one punch, and that is a glad appercept. If he can land with this wallop it is curtains for his opponent.

As to the origin, or the beginning of the sentence, the drawing paragraph is rather interesting; Few people give Jack Johnson credit for any part in the career of Gunboat Smith, but Johnson discovered Smith and Johnson started him. Jack was training for his battle with Jeffries when Smith, just out of the navy, applied for a job as sparring partner for the big black. Johnson gave the gunner a lot of work, as he was big and husky. Then some one started the story that Smith knocked Johnson down while engaging in a little workout, but it was a good press agent yarn, and Johnson stood for it, as he was willing to get any publicity. He said a lot of nice things about Smith, and intimated that he could hit as hard as any man he had ever faced. It brought Smith to the notice of the promoters and he was given a start in the four-round game in Frisco. He was not much of a success in the short courts, but Jim Buckley spotted him and via the long route has brought him to the top of the white hope class. It may be that Gunboat Smith is the man who has not mean a certainity of succession. There's many a slip betwixt the cup and lip. And Smith hasn't done that. He doesn't mean a slip with him. His chances, however, are as bright as those of his compers, if not brighter. He has a stump of approval and that means something. The champ would not have stood for the advertisement that he was knocked down by a dead one. That Jim Johnson who has been trailing Jack about in Paris has not done that. He will not course he will get some kind of recognition out of his scrap with Johnson. To meet the man that met Jack Johnson, he interesting not to speak of one who has not forgetten that he can't forget Frank Daniels in the Rag Bag of years ago. Daniels was the man for him that to shake the hand of John Sullivan. He had never seen his pubistic highness, but he was so ennuiable for him that to shake the hand of John Sullivan with Sullivan was a plenty. So this Jim who ever he is can not escape his up stray nickels and as long as he placards himself as having met pubistic eminence John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES Baseball has caught on in Australia. The early days when the game was played were a number of games played or the space given in the newspapers that show that the American game has found a home in Australia, that the bugs now mob the umpire. When the old cry "Kill the umpire," is sounded the crowd it may not be willing to play against it but shows that the game itself is in a thriving condition. He played in a suburb at Sydney a mob chased the umpire from the grounds till he gained shelter in a street car. To make his escape he rode a bus to a college collegians. With this episode baseball may be said to have arrived in Australia. Racine, Wis.-Johnny Coulon, bantamweight champion of the world, fighting the last six rounds with a victory over the "Young" Sinnet, the tough Rock Island bantamweight, in the main bout of the show staged by the In the fourth round Johnny broke his right hand from the opponent in front of the head. He was unable to use his chief weapon of damage during the remainder of the game, but had great opportunities to use his right hand with uppercats or hooks, but the injury might have resulted in what punches. The character certainly showed a fluff of his old time form. His clever footwork and feinting was in evidence at all time and if he had been able to use his right hand the bout probably would have given him a limit. Johnny finished strong and in the last round he was more eager to mk matters with his opponent. LONDON—Flight promoters opened negotiations to stage a bout between the two teams of Fremont and MaGoorty, the Oskoshik, Wis. fighter. The match, if arranged, may be held for a purge of more than $10,000. SAN FRANCISCO—Two. Australian liners blew into port, and two rival Australian promoters promoted the excitement over the occurrence. The two men who have come such a distance in quest of America's street shouting to unemployed bruisers to gather around and listen to the unprecedented offers that it was desired to place before them. Each of the gentlemen from "wurrin' parts" knew that the other was around and each presenter until kala-kala. Possibly who will get their bearings the words will fly. As between the two men, Snowy Baker and the owner of the figure in the world of sport. He has won fame both as a match handler and a referee, and his enthusiasm is attested in more ways than one. For a few days Howe and Baker will rest and look over the ground. Then they will bake the highest will command the more attention, providing he is backed by the right kind of securities, and providing he is a fellow who can get them more money by going abroad than they can by remaining at home. **PHILADELPHIA--Director of Public Safety Porter, after a conversation with Sun, Roe and Rolls issued the following order to all managers of boxing clubs: "The foul blow, known as the kidney puncture, must contain the clinched, must be permitted. The referee must caution contestants before bouts, and the referee must after being cautioned, the bout must be stopped. The rule is simple, and is familiar to all boxing officials, red carded and not be lived up to absolutely, and the police official in charge of any boxing exhibition must promptly report to the public safety any violation whatsoever.** MILWAUKEE—Pal Brown, Minnesota lightweight, who made such splendid showing against stars of his last season at San Francisco and last week arriving at San Francisco by the steamer Ventura, accompanied by Snowy Baker, Sydney boxing promoter, Jack Doughey, who but remained in Australia to work for Baker. Brown wires that he will be ready for Champion Willie Ritchie and all lightweights within a week's time. FOND DU LAC, WIS.—Rudolph Holz, the Boer champion, was kitted out for former lightweight champion, in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout after a game but hopeless fight. Unexpected in the first round and once in the second, and was reeling helplessly around the ring when, after one minute and three seconds tossed a towel into air - Unholz welged in at 127 pounds. - Wolfgang erutzen. - Klaus welged in beergs. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the state commission before entering the ring. Wrestling promoters have been trying for some time to bring Frank Gouch, the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world, to New York for a match with foreign man仕夫. From his Iowa town, Gutch, in reply to the New York offer, wrote that he "positively" had given up wrestling, but he had gone over the situation, he wrote, and nothing "will induce me to change my mind." The call of the foreigners and the will never make him his farm again. He suggested that Beell and Aemricus get together and let the winner win, and that he willing to write his rights in favor of the better of the two. NOW OLD WHITE HOPE NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Old Bob Fitzsimmons has kept at least a part of his threat to do a come-back. No one has ever been able to scorch Cleveland, of being great guns as a white hope, but Fitz had enough of his fire left last night to scorch Sweeney in rounds at Williamsport, Pa. He knocked Sweeney down repeatedly and then ran back in rounds. Only the bell saved the Cleveland heavy from taking the count in the final session. Fitz has been expected to ask permission to take on the New York state boxing commission collectively. The Democrat who is just one-year old is credited with having shown much of his old-time craftiness and power. Just a flash in the pan is a question it will take more than one fight to decide. Fitz thinks he still has it, heart punch, stamina and all. If he has and goes through a last down fight even the boxing marvel of the age. THE FIGHTING HYPNOTIC EYE. By Jack Skelly. Did you ever consider what an important part hypnotic eyes play in the fighting game? Skilful surgeons can use hypnotism to help patients in the hypnotized state, the subject feeling no pain whatever, and hypnotism has been successfully employed as a therapeutic agent. Hypnotism is closely associated those of the nervous system. I insert these statements to show the phenomenal power of hypnotism. I have the power of the hypnotic eye; those with the keen x-ray optics that seem to penetrate and pierce through an object are more than some power the serpent displays over a bird marked for prey. Packey McFaland's Piercing Eyes. Have you ever noticed Packey McFaland's sharp eyes when he's in full action on the battlefield or on his antagonist, with those small, cunning, dart, piercing orbs of his, that appear to look almost through his victim? I often think he was a much more skilled in defeating some men who are more or less affected by their penetration. JOHN L. Sullivan's Wicked comedy John L. Sullivan, in a play of glaring fiercely across the ring at his opponent, before the call of time. He had a particularly "wicked" eye, which was certainly hypnotic. Many of his antagonists were whipped by those fiery men, who even put their hands up for the contest. I remember how frightened big Herbert Slade was when John L. cast his glowing orbs on him, as they sat in opposite corners. The glare had the effect on the side toward his head, low order to escape the terrific dart from Sullivan's eyes. The poor New Zealander was half whipped then and there. In other words John L. "had his number," as they say now, "adays. Sullivan" knew how actively and was the power of hypnotism and always used it to perfection. But when his great vitality began to wane this hypnotic strength went also. When I last saw him the fire and glitter had dimmed and all the old time "wickedness of gone from those once powerful eyes." Jack Dempsey's Wonderful Eye. What a true, clear, penetrating eye poor Jack Dempsey had. It was an educated eye; one that could correctly measure distance and make him hit the spot he aimed at. He was indeed a splendid marksman. Besides, Dempsey was a master of opponent which his sharp eye, and held him with it. A sort of hypnotism, as it were. He could look a fellow square in the eye and make him feel that he was the inferior being. Dempsey had what I would call a "dead game" eye, one in a battle. I would never flinch or wice in Bob Fitzsimons' Cold, Steely Optics. Close observers who have seen Bob Fitzsimons in the heat of a fast glittering, glittering, steely eyes, that looked almost inhuman, like the optics of some aroused wild animal. Full of fire and light, he frightened the opponent and hypnotized him. He, like Dempsey, was a splendid marksmaker and seldom missed his mark. Jack McAulie's Keenest Eyes. In or out of the ring, Jack McAulie has the keenest pair of eyes I ever saw in a man's head. They are small, blue on the face. He has wonderful power of penetration which he used to great advantage in his battling days. Like Dempsey, he has a "dead game" to his side. He mustist take to the woods. Some experts may claim this is not real hypnotism, but I think it's pretty near it. In fact I never knew a real, simple-pure champion who had weak, infirm eyes. There was John Morrissey with a humorous look, with a humor, but "wucked" when aroused or in battle. John C. Heenan, who was a splendid looking fellow, with which commanded respect and popularity. Joe Coburn had small, quick, savage eyes, and he was in his younger days. When I last him, he was a faded out old man from riotous dissipation. For Joe could fight with a pugnacious face. Especially, when in his cups, he was very pugnacious. For Macau, he was a cool, cool. Outside the arena he was a peaceful, genial character. Mace had a fine dark pair of eyes that only showed the fighting fire. Ringmen With Small Eyes. If you will take the trouble to look over the portraits of fighting men, for the past fifty or hundred years, you will find that the great majority of them have been with great penetrating power. In my gallery of over two thousand portraits of prominent ringmen I found a number of them, the Sayers, one of the greatest champions England ever produced. Tom King, Jem Ward, Tom Spring, Tom Cribb and a number of other British champions who were the small snappy, shrewd optics I speak of. The American Pugilistic Exes: The American Pugstic Eyes. The small, shrewd optics also predominate among the majority of American star fistic artists. From Tom Hyer, the first American heavyweight champion down to Jim Jeffries. Among them I might mention with these small eyes are Abe Attell, Terry McGovern, Mike Gibbons, Packey McFarland, Jim Corbett, Young Corbett, Tommy Ryan, Spider Ike Weir, James Edward Britt, Willie Lewis, Jimmy Clabby, Leach Cross, Battling Nelson, Frank Erne, Stanley Ketchel, George Chip, Johnny Coulon, George (Kid) Lavigne, Harry Lewis, Mike (Twin) Sullivan, Kid McCoy, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, John L. Herget, Willie Ritchie and a host of others. The Quick True Eye. The correct human eye is certainly a most important factor in fictive contests. The hypnotic eye has a most decided advantage over an opponent with dull, slow, weak optics. The eye must learn more than skillful boxing. The eye must be educated as well as the fists. They must work with the opponent's hand in a sort of sleight-of-hand performance as it were. You must out-see the other fellow and fool his sight if posing for a punch. Clever boxers always watch their opponents' eyes keenly. Most men engage in boxing their eyes. The scientific ringman always endeavors to puzzle his man by his eyes, as well as by his rapid movements, not born with a quick, true eye he will never become a great boxer. And if he's not gifted with the hypnotic power he'll never make a great fighter. I have always held that champions like famous poets, artists and musicians, but I don't hold their profession, and cannot acquire great fistic ability if nature did not give them the proper qualifications. Fought to Blind Their Opponents. In the old bare knuckle days when game men fought to a finish on the turf, it was indeed very hard on the eyes. The principal object of a fight-trying and blind his opponent by keeping up a constant jabbing at his eyes so as to close them. Once a man was knocked down, he was less. The old seconds were, however, rather expert in cutting and reducing the swelling around the optics of a biminion, and he was up eyes of a game man, who fought on courageously and in the end won his battle. I'm glad to say this fierce man was a source gloves. This an improvement to say the last in the many art. HOLLOWAYS STARS DEFEATED AT BOWLING Fine Exhibition Attracts Unusually Large Crowd to Butchman's Rink. Special to The Freeman. ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Batchman's Roller Rink and Amusement Palace was the home of spectators in the city of St. Louis between colorado teams, when the Colts defeated Holloway's Stars in a series of three games. The bowling allays were jammed with players from which included many ladies, when play was called by Umpire L. Jones. Both teams displayed excellent form as well as skill. The bowling match was a forerunner of a series of contest which are to precede a bowling tournament several weeks after the management will hang up a large trophy. Umpire--L. Jones, Captains-Colts Bronx, NY Pin Judge--Jed. Brown, Scoreer--2 Pin Judge--Jed. Brown, Scoreer--2 Tuesday night, Feb. 3, the Colts will play a team to be selected by Mr. Browder. The team will intensely interest as they are the basis for an elimination contest which is to decide the make-up of the team. St. Louis in its challenge to the colored teams of the country for the championship, which will be held in the west and St. Louis, one of the foremost bowling cities in the country, will be the manager of the Batchman Roller Rink & Amusement Palace, Beaumont & Avery Park, relative to an exchange of engagements. A. COSTLY COLLISION. A play came up in one of the big leagues several years ago that caused a lot of confusion. A play that comes up very often and always creates more or less confusion is called a crowd, as a rule, insists on trying to determine whether, or not the inter- The play, as it came up in the big league, created a Wild West finish. The bases were filled, with one man out, in the last half of the ninth. Three runs were needed to tie a hard four to win. The game hit a hard score, and the shortstop. It looked as if the latter had a sure double play in front of him that would retire the side and end the rally of the home team. All runners, of course, started to advance as soon as the ball was hit. After setting himself for the ball the shortstop evidently decided that if he took a step backwards he would be in a slightly better position. To make a hurried throw to second. That decision was a fatal one when runner going from second to third was just the back of the shortstop as he took the step. The two men collided, both going to the ground, while the ball continued its course to the outfield. The left felder led off to get away from him. And it colled to the fence. All four runs scored, apparently winning the game for the home team. The game was played in the days of one umpire. For some reason the official in charge of the game was looking elsewhere when the international was not happened, and the attention was not. The runner and mid-up until he saw both runner and fielder on the ground. There was a big kick, of course. The team had the point the club hurried to its dressing quarters, while the visiting players and crowd surged around the poor, unfortunate team. The team happened—Billy Evans, the famous American League Umpire. LARRY McLEAN AS WHITE HOPE. Baseball Catcher Takes Turn "on Paper" as Pugilia. Larry McLean, the big catcher, who starred for the Giants against the Athletics, was a member of the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast League a few years back, when the "white hope" craze started. A Seattle baseball writer, on a rainy day when news was so bad, so he snapped McLeon in several boxing poses and ran a marathon. So he snapped Larry was going to invade the fistic ranks. The idea looked good to a Portland team, and he followed suit, similar to exploding Vickers, the turn-around pitcher. Jimmy Hughes, the sport writer, showed McLean a scraper, showed McLean a copy of the Portland paper which gave the public the idea that Vickers was a future heavyweight champion. "What do you think of that, Larry?" he said. "Stealing your stuff." he said. "Stealing your stuff." The limb comes pretty close to being the arm that grips the right to be ashamed of themselves." "Tell you what we'll do" said Hanky. "If you don't, Prey Before the game you call Vickers into the clubhouse, get out your set of gloves, put on one pair and throw the other. Rubes feet and dare him to put them." "That's all right," said McLean, "but supposed the blamed cussicks 'em up!" And the stuff was off and there Lester was, the same game, but decided he wasn't cut out for it. SPORT NEWS FROM PHILADELPHIA Conceding height, weight and reach, Benny Kaufman boxed a hard six-round draw with Praston Brown at the Broadway Club recently. The colored man worked for some time, and in the first round he was rocked by a right to the jaw which had lots of beet behind it. Kaufman had a heavy battle and made good use of his advantages. At infighting, however, Kaufman more than held his own and frequently made Brown clench to escape the blows which were sent to his stom- Jack Blackburn was introduced just prior to the main event and was accorded the title.

Ty Cobb would be worth half a million dollars of the New York Americans' money if Frank Navin could be induced to play this game. This is not a dream, but has been reduced to cold figures by New York baseball men. The Georgian would be worth more to New York than to any other American. The Georgian would be worth more to the Polo grounds, to see McGraw's ag- gressive men would be drawn to the Yankee fold by Cobb's uneased daring and dash. But they are not the real backbone of Ty's probable value to New York. The crowd of out-of-town visitors, amounting to 500,000 a day, is the factor that would make Cobb worth $500,000. The players let him earn $1,000,000 for the club. All Want to See Cobb. As it now stands Cobb plays eleven games. New York as a member of the Detroit Chargers, 1,500 of the great army of New York fans, actually, for the most part Cobb roots. They go simply to see Cobb. Among the 500,000 visitors in New York best at 200,000 who come from small towns. The league ball is not played Cobb stands for the majors. If a daily average of 1,500 yards out to see Ty, all estimates are wrong. With a personal audience of 3,000 a day, at an average of 50 cents each, Cobb draws as a New York drawing card at $1,500. The team's timate. Now he plays eleven games in the city. As a member of the Yankees he games at home, 68 more than he plays in the Would Be Big Attraction. At a fairly conservative estimate he estimated that a new 'new York' home games just $100,000 a year in five years, he would perform in New York, a total of $500,000 in five years. On the road he would add at least $50,000 a year to the club's receipts, or $250,000 more in five years, and he would add as much as an attraction. But the addition of Cobb would make the Yankees another $100,000 a year, even be a pennant contender, possibly a flag winner. Simply turning the Yankees into receipts another $100,000 as New York dearly loves a winner. If a flag were captured the Yankees would have Cobb's purchase price in a single season. Kid Hoy ad Kid Brown Open. While we see that Harvey O. Bean (Kid Hoy), the clever Baltimore bear-cat and recognized colored middleweight champion, has opened training (boxing) headquarters at Toledo, Ohio, at 501 Lafayette street, we are putting forth a quiet gym. for our colored boxers who come in. As we are in hopes that the mayor will permit some clean sport here, with the assistance of Kid Brown, the clever boxer in the welterweight class, I hope to teach some of my many tricks about the game here. I see there are not many big boxers and that what the public cares for is little men to box. Kid Brown has a little one of a good man, does: 14 pounds, and while I am his advisor, I push him when I see I am idle, so we are able to take a bout on a ten days' notice, as we are both in excellent shape to put up a stiff match at any time. I answered Kid Sam's challenge from South Birmingham, Ala. I know nothing of him nor Burrell Smith, but as I am the first to be a big boxer, we are some of the best to stop the school of artists, but should any club anywhere wish to match us boxers we are open to fill any engagement on short notice.

The lecture course at the Y. M. C. A. has been noted for the high class entertainers who have appeared before audiences from time to time. The lecture course is the engagement of Robert B. Harrison for the evening of January 50 caused the gathering of a large, appreciative audience who listened attentively to his varied re Mr. Harrison enjoys the distinction of being one of the foremost character definiators of today; this without reservation, those of the white race who hold that Mr. Harrison is the only perfect reader before the public, of course, and those of the top his lilling. He is gifted in all ways that go to make the successful man of his line of work. He is tall, well proportioned, and handsome. He lend their influences to his makeup. His voice alone is a gift from his Maker, and which not to use as he does in work. In short, Mr. Harrison is one of these richly endowed men, seemingly as a handwerk of the Creator to show the utmost care and attention to his result of the combined influences of nature when in their happier moods. I get this summary from what I have audited, and from what I have been, his great mental grasp, plurting to one with startling clearness what he would tell about. To see him, he would talk to him. Mr. Harrison had much to say of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. They were close friends. He had been of assistance to him, and he was a light. He brought out interesting features of the poet's Life which were new; they were also touching, as they bore simplicity of that great-souled conqueror. The program began with "Cremated Sam McGee." This was an interesting story, involving blood, who found himself in Alaska regions. He was with companions, but he was not alone. He accompanied a religious weather. He also came one favor. He wished to be cremated. His request was carried out. This was what he did. He was found sitting face into which he was cast was just the place for him. He was found sitting joying the heat; and requested that the door of the furnace be closed to shut off the draft. This was finely done by the He did "When Melinda Sings" and "Little Brown Baby With Sharring" to show how Mr. Harrison showed his versatility. He entered into the smallish ways of characters forgetting altogether, and the same numbers were generally known, but not as Mr. Harrison gave them. The audience was delighted thoroughed. He also given. The reader showed clearly that he was impressed with the beauty of that composition. He rendered it accordingly. The court scene from the "Merchant of Venice" was a rapid change of those great Shakespearean personas with ease. In fact, Mr. Harrison's forte is comedy. He was the best self. He featured Shylock the character all wished to see portrayed. He showed very much of that creature as Shakespeare would have us see it. He made it clear that Shylock wanted to feel unmelted to answer why he de- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Antonle's flesh; it sufted his humor. The plean for mercy was unavailable; the beautiful nugget of gold was set out by the man who had been the victim of mercy was not strained, and the rest of it. But Shylock made it plain that it was not in the capacity of human reason to offer the law. It was nominated in the bond that it should be so. He spurned the thrice offering—the ten times offering—and moved. This was done with great faithfulness by Mr. Harrison, so well that when the three came for the turning of his hand he was his audience along with him. The audience was prepared for what followed, the monster had proved to be more intelligent than his audience at the hearts of all men to some extent. No blood must be shed in the cutting of pome of flesh away, the interpretation of the instance by the "learned lawyer" from Padua Shylock smelled a mouse. He recanted: "I was not the victim of mercy three times over. It was too late, Baffled and beaten, the Jew leaves the court with his life only left to him. Mr. Harrison left no doubt as to what hap- His "Raven" was another master rendition. Some doubt may exist as to his interpretation, but none as to his interpretation, and sat in breadless silence drinking in every word, watching every motion until Mr. Harrison sat his head in a beautiful frenzy. It were have been a sight too terrible for human eyes had it been real. But as it was an interpretation one was lost in admiration at the reader's conception—his portrayal I should have mentioned previously Mr. Harrison's "When Brudder Moses Put de mit a faithful account of this rendition, is they have not in any of the foregoing, one Mr. Harrison's selections could we occupy the space I have used for all of these. The reader called this number a pain of Dungee. The first picture is the one just mentioned, the other is "The Knights and Ladies of de Rising Stain." They are the only ones recognized of the race in the church and in the lodge. It was apparent that much of what he said and did was recognized, and was a grand treat—an opportunity.
