Washington has built a monument that will last as long as time. Since July 4, 1881, when he first went to Tuskegee, not a moment of his life, he carried his whole soul and master mind to the development of the school which has now become the greatest in America. His course message is the message men need of common sense and uprightness has been the cause of thousands of young men and women to make a place in the world over 10,000 young men and women have finished a full and partial course and have gone out carrying the message of Tuskegee, putting into actual practice the Tuskegee spirit. The men from thirty-six states and countries. Controlled by Board of Trustees. Tuskegee is controlled by a board of trustees of nineteen representative citizens, some in the South and others in the North. Even when the school is reported and this has caused thousands upon thousands to have faith in the financial condition of the school. It was our pleasure as vented was the Andrew Carnegie library, erected at a cost of $20,000. There is where students meet for literatures and a room where the relics of the institution are kept. I was surprised to find myself in a room where a Negro is upon the shelf of this library and that among the weekly papers in the greatest collection of newspapers, however, can be found upon racks each Monday morning. I was in weekly, however, can be found upon racks each Monday morning. I was in weekly, however, can be found upon racks each Monday morning. One would be amazed at the wonderful amount of extension work done here. Over 800 children's books were loaned last year, once in the rotting room of the library at which time they discuss and take up books, even have a circulating library boxes which are sent to rural schools. Tuskegee is not without its religious life. Whisker speaks to at least 2,000 students and families of the Tuskegee community and Dr. Washington describes the Sunday night. There is the Young Men's Christian Association, the Christian Endeavor, The Young Woman through the medium of this meeting, which often religious songs and anthems. Policed by Students. The institution is not only policed by members of the battalion under Command, Major Ramsey, but are organized into fire brigade who know the layout of the battlefield and are ready for any such emergency at a moment's call. They are often drilled and know their business. Mookoer T. Washington, the admiral wife of the education is not only at the head of the Girl's Industries here she works daily with as much material as she does but at the head of the Mothers' Meetings whose influence has extended all over the country. Three thousand in the country are reached through the Mothers' Meetings just as Dr. Washington is exerting a wholesome influence over the farm-owner is Mrs. Washington over the women in the town. Washington is the President of the National Women's Federation of Clubs. Aside from this she presides with great and love at the home of the oaks where she entertained three times during our visit and upon one occasion was the guest at dinner through an invitation to young son son Mr. David Washington. Academic Department. The academic work is done at Hunterton Hall. Prof. Lee is the head of the department which is divided between thirds of the students attend in the day and one-third at night. They cover subjects as mathematics, history, geography, bookkeeping, instrumental drawing, writing, and other arts and sciences. The school is for those who are unable to pay their way through school. It was made through the laundry where students do the work of 1.800 students each year. 1.432.023 pieces are laundered record. Year. Through the courtesy of the老师 of this department I had a "special" group to greatly assisted wearing it to Chicago to friends. The foundation is now being used as cost expert I do not recall its to modern in every way and will add to many new buildings that attract the nature grounds. Stater-Armstrong Building. The Slater-Armstrong Building is where the trades are taught including carpentry, woodworking, printing, tailoring, milling, woodfitting, wheelwrighting, harnessing, milling, steaming, electric lighting, architectural and mechanical drawing, printing, painting, steam engineering, woodmaking. Brick is made at their own workshop. Brick is out an average of 25,000 per year. Landscape Beautiful Washington's foresight in ad- ding landscaping, gardening and hor- ticulture to the school industries has worked wonders. This has caused the settler community to be transformed into the garden spot of the South. During the past year 700 shrubs and tree have been set out, 24,500 square yards of lawn surface added, 4,800 square yards of roads and footways and water pipes added, 12,500 water pipes added, 12,500 peach trees set out, 140,000 strawberry plants, 4,800 grape vinees, 155 fig trees set out. The garden is situated at the Experiment Farm by Prof. Carver, one of the most competent and trained chemists in this country. The garden is situated under the direction of Mr. Marion Brown of Chicago. She is quite an artist and is giving eminent satisfaction. The garden is the articles were finished in the plain sewing department and 145 dresses and tailor made suits and 1,072 shirt stubs collars cuffs and aprons were made. The bank which was established in 1901 is in a flourishing condition and the number of depositors are about 1,250 and the amount of deposits about $20,000. The business of the institution is done by a business agent, Mt. Atwell, a business agent, Mt. Atwell, school. He handles from $4,000 to $6,000 per month for the school. This is one of the most responsible positions in the cabinet of Dr. Washington. Andrew Memorial Hospital. A little over a year ago Dr. George Coulson and Hall was called to Tuskegee to deliver a hospital. It is one of the most complete and best equipped hospitals in one country, Dr. Kinney is the surgeon, the tented, head nurse, three internes and competent nurses and a pharmacist. While Tuskegee is the daughter of the founder of Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute, Mr. Megs Institute, the Robert Hungerford Industrial School, the school was founded all founded by graduates of Tuskegee. Wherever there are ten or more graduates of Tuskegee, a Tuskegee club is kept hot in the beams of its graduates. If any one doubts the facts have been given in these series, let will be more favorably impressed than by my feeble ability to express it in print. The money to carry on this business is raised through a firm of employees, and his faithful secretary of the institute, Mr. E. J. Scott, is due a world or more giving to America the most wonderful institution of the races of the world. PITTSBURG, PA.

SATURDAY, FEB. 14, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Report from Norfolk, Va., has it that the Negroes of that community support 65 saloons. Is it said boastfully or apologetically? The G. O. P. is showing signs of getting together for the coming meets. It is said that many Progressives are returning to the fold. Harmony is the watchword. Indiana will do her part in raising the money due on the Frederick Douglass home. What has the other forty and more states got to say? The several features of the South Carolina law ousting white teachers from public and private schools is that it interferes with the rights of individuals. Mr. Carnegie has given 2,000,000 more to be used through the churches for the promotion of international peace. He is in for peace all right—he's spending his money for it. Orestes Zamor has been elected president of Hayti by congress. Zamor received 33 out of 105 ballots cast. It means that quiet is restored again in the little republic. Its long continuation, however, is by no means assured. For the good of that country it should try to forget how to rebel and insult. Abraham Lincoln was born in a log house, one of the very poorest kind. His stride from this hovel to the one that every one would be greatly pleased to live in is one of the remarkable things of his life. In other words; his beginning was the humblest. At the close of his career he was of the world's nobility. The Freeman will gladly accept subscriptions for the discharge of the debt on the Frederick Douglass home stead. The home is meant as a memorial to the worth of the distinguished Negro statesman, Pennies, nickels and dimes will be appreciated. Send in postage stamps, or in any other way. All monies received will be publicly acknowledged and forwarded to the proper authorities. Muskogee, Okla., is getting ready for the National Negro Business League, which meets in that city next week. We will be before the object of such distinction, consequently it is much disturbed for fear it will not be in ship-shaped style when the guests get in. It is working with a right good will, and doubt less it will be a veritable spotless town by the time of the meeting. Abraham Lincoln was born in Har- din County, Kentucky, February 12 1809; moved to Pigeon Creek, Ind. 1816; to Macon County, Illinois, 1830; postmaster at New Salem, Ill., 1832; member State Legislature, 1834-41; admitted to bar 1836; representative in Congress, 1847 to 1849; elected President 1869 and 1849; assassinate by J. Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater Washington, the night of Good Friday April 14, and died April 15, 1865. It seems to be the sense of the thoughtful leaders of the country that it is unwise to discriminate in favor of our own ships, as it concerns the toll in using the Panama Canal. President Wilson is broad gagged in the matter. He insists that our international relation and obligations are such that we can not afford to exhibit a spirit of selfishness. Beyond this there are many who are opposed to the idea of the government fostering private enterprises, by subsidy, by exemption or in any way that makes for patronized concerns. The general sense of the country has been expressed for years against too much protection, a thing which concerns mostly the few. The true spirit of Democracy forbids pet interests. Between the two opposing fires the exemption of toll for our ships look slim. The play "The Leopard's Spots," was sat down on recently in Nashville, Tennessee. The vigilance of the colored people had to do with having it cut out. The play is built on the prejudice known to be existing, and to all intents and purposes, having for its object further racial inflammation. The mayor, who acted promptly in the matter, did the proper thing. He is a white man, and doubtless entertains race prejudice, as all men do. He, one would imagine, that the thing he carried too far, was endanger the peace of the community, of the state, of the nation. Such actions as his are wholesome indications of our attitude in the eyes of the white people, meaning that prejudice shall not be exhibited further than is necessary. This means further, that the Negroes are here for keeps, and around whom the mantle of protection is swung, saving against those who would utterly destroy. WILL OUST WHITE TEACHERS. South Carolina is in a stew because of the bill before the legislature of that state forbidding white teachers to teach Negro schools. Both white and colored people are opposing the bill. At a meeting by colored people among the reasons given for opposing the bill were: It is antagonistic to a custom that has existed in South Carolina for nearly 200 years It does violence to the spirit of Christianity, which teaches that the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak. It is a violation of the fundamental principle of our government. It tends to destroy the friendly and sympathetic relation of the races which has been brought about through the prayers and efforts of the best people of both races. It will tend to paralyze and destroy the efforts of white philanthropists and educators who have given largely of their means, their time and some of them devoted their whole lives in the uplift of a struggling race. It was also brought out at this meeting that the lower house last year passed a bill asking congress to repeal the 12th amendment of the general constitution. The Blease spirit seems to be pervasive. The state of South Carolina. The government is an excellent discipline of Tillman. If any thing Governor Blease is making a name that will greatly exceed that of the former governor for civil tyranny. We do not see that this particular move is particularly vicious as much as it is opposed. Much inconvenience, doubtless, would follow the change, since there has been for years a beautiful spirit of philanthropy, even to sacrifice, exhibited by the white people in behalf of the blacks all through the United States. We do not endorse that emanates of refined persons will have to be charged up to the wrong side of our civil profit and loss. Looking at it that way, the loss, if it will be so, will be calamitous. Yet we have our own teachers who are fair substitutes for the loss. It is not well to hold that there will be a void, in event of the success of the bill that can not be filled to any extent. The Negro race, true enough, is an infant race, pupil and teacher, but they are educating. The teacher and pupil are wrong things to be feared than the elimination of the white teachers. If we lose them we have our own, and who must learn to fill the bill completely. THE CARMEN WIN NEARLY ALL CONTENDED FOR. As a result of the decision of the public utilities commission, the employees of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company now have a permanent arbitration board to which shall be referred all grievances which can not be adjusted satisfactory by the employees and the company. The employees have the right to be represented in negotiations before this board to person or persons as they may elect. The employees in car service obtain an increase of 1 cent an hour for the first year's service, 2 cents an hour hour increase for each year's service thereafter until five years of service, after which the pay is to be 27 cents, or 2 cents more than herefore. Other awards to the street car company employees of points asked are: Runs limited to twelve hours, each hour rested for sixteen hours; eight hours rest to follow the run and twenty minutes for meals. One Sunday off duty each month for each conductor and motorman. Preference for members of the grievance committee in regard to applications to "lay-off." Preservation of priority rights for the president and secretary of any labor organization or which the employee may be a member in event that employee wishes to be reinstated in the service of the company. Denying the right of the company to discriminate against any employee because of his union affiliation. Pay for conductors and motormen for the time necessary to go from barns to place where they take or leave their cars. Meals while working on snow plows or sweepers. Deserted at stated times by the subordinate and the president of any suspended or discharged employee —From the Indianapolis News JOHN MITCHELL ET AL VICTOR IQUS. John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet, was so elated over the decision of the Supreme Court that he went to versifying. This has reference to the decision of that court in favor of the Virginia Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, of which Mr. Mitchell is Grand Chancellor, as against the Supreme Lodge. It is remembered that the Supreme Lodge sought to revoke the charter of the Grand Lodge of that state because its members protested against what was considered the extravagance of the Supreme Lodge, going so far as to impach its business integrity. In order to maintain its charter, which was revoked, the Virginia lodge carried the case to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Lodge was nonsuited. Here follows a portion of Mr. Mitchell's editorial: This action was the result of a bold, barefaced attempt to collect fourteen hundred dollars from Virginia. The only return therefor was a password, framed and proclaimed by the Supreme Chancellor. The taxation, prior to this attempt was one hundred dollars, an increase of thirteen hundred dollars in Virginia, and an aggregate increase in the supreme jurisdiction of about fifteen thousand dollars for the purpose of paying high salaries to the Supreme Lodge officials and to their supporters. Can colored people continue to condone or wrong doing? Can this species of wrong doing? Can they afford to visit upon each other the very subversion of fundamental rights and unmerited persecution of the same kind of which complaint is made against the Negro-haters of this country? We believe not. It is with sincere regret that we must struggle on with this contest and battle for our fraternal rights to the end. The property rights of the grand jurisdiction have been recognized and relief for the time being afforded. It has taken many years to bring the controversy to the present stage of settlement, and it may take many more before a final decree is obtained in this remarkable case now pending in Washington before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia FREDERICK DOUGLASS—HIS HOME REMINDERS. Some system has finally beep introduced into the method of collecting funds for the saving of the Frederick Douglass home. Ralph Tyler is now the financial secretary of the commission having the matter in charge. As such he is inviting the co-operation of newspapers and prominent persons throughout the country. He is dealing with the matter in a detail way, intending that something be specifically done. Heretofore help has been asked in a big general way, of everybody in general, of nobody in particular. The fact that there was no response was not owing to a feeling of neglect, studious neglect, but because there was no special appeal. It takes considerable ingenuity to open one's pocket-book for things that are not strictly personal. The gentlemen in charge of the business ought to have known this, and should have acted accordingly. We have long since contended that the Frederick Douglas home will be cheerfully paid for when the people know how to pay for it. The people as a rule don't know that there is a move on foot to secure the home. Those that do know do not know to whom to forward the money should they be inclined to usher in, the know nothing of an authoritative head and front of such a movement. And should they know all of this, yet it would be necessary to make a direct appeal. Miss Alice Thomas, a graduate of the Central high school, Louisville Ky., has purchased a beautiful home on one of the largest wreaths in the Jekel Electric lighting factory, steam heat and other modern improvements are the features of this extraordinary home. Mrs. Thomas is quite a worker in the Methodist church. She is one of the most industrious and accomplished young women in the valley. Mr. Otis Burnett is one of the most widely known men in the valley. He has been given at the Hotel West Beni. He owns a fine house in the choice section of the town and has a wife and a young son of which he feels fan and prides himself as being the birthday of Thursday of the Town of Lakewood Lodge No. 23 of Temple will hold its illumination Thursday night, Feb. 1. The Frederick Douglas home was from the 3rd chapter lations and the eleventh that fast which thou hath been inclined to usher in, the know nothing of an authoritative head and front of such a movement. And should they know all of this, yet it would be necessary to make a direct appeal. This direct appeal means setting forth who and what Frederick Douglass was, the importance of preserving his home as a memorial of him because he was who he was. It would be a lesson of race pride, national pride, world pride, the greater part of which honors the great in memorial and at the same time teaches the on coming people to remember him as an example. The movement is worthy of the best effort, or it is worthy of nothing. Will one think that, when the life and day of that "lion of the tribe of Ethiopia" are set out that a mite will be grudged for the purpose of perpetuating and honoring his memory? We do not think so. We think the Negro race will gladly respond. Children who will have heard his name for the first time will lay their pennies for the cause as readily as the older ones would lay a chaplet of flowers on his bier. The race owes him as it did to Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Harriet Beecher, Stowe. They were his associates immortal, and whose names can not be uttered without thoughts of us. How fortunate the Negro race has been. At its birth stood the greatest of mankind in their particular sphere—at its accoument, as it were—a galaxy of sponsors, godfathers, such as has been allotted no other race. Who will contest the distinction of Abraham Lincoln as the greatest of our presidents? And should he not have been personally great, there was that colossal impact, that of the war, and whose impact, that of the war, like the mountain's first upheaval. Without the Negro race there would have been no Abraham Lincoln. Without Lincoln—what it is not necessary to rehearse the stories of that prince of agitators, John Brown; nor of the others mentioned. They were as Christ; they died to all intents and purposes, even when not struck down by the bludgeon of war. Then Harriet Beecher Stowe. O, universal motherhood is your name. Then our own Frederick Douglass, who was a man of philosophy, dignity, intellect and judgment stands yet as unrivalled and unapproached as the pyramids of the "forty centuries." If we are indifferent to all this, then we are marked among the races of men. But we do not see it that way. We are not willing to see it that way until we fail in this test and those others that will follow in the course of our civil life. We have begun this test. We can not afford to turn back. It is simply a matter of raising a few thousands of dollars. The ten millions of us should know all about it. We should know that the finger will point with certainty. The subscription should be popular. It should be of small amounts rather than large amounts, thus the few will not be burdened. The Freeman has been authorized to accept subscriptions. It will gladly do so. Any amounts contributed will be publicly acknowledged in this publication and forwarded to the Doughlass Memorial and Historical Museum. In the United States, N. W. Washington, D. C. Arrangement is also looked forward to that will interest the colored people of the state of Indiana in the movement. WADDY HOTEL A BIG SUCCESS.

The Crown Garden is having a fun- fest week, a festival of fun, at nine place on the ground, even evening from the very beginning when original rags opened until the last act paal after paal of laughter followed, at times threatening to break up the shows, to give good who some fun, including some little family lessons that Paul Carter tells about in way that he can understand the ranks and the Susie Sutton proved a favorite. Her many friends were glad to see her. She was received with the hand at her appear- ance. The Arrants proved a feature in their work. ORIGINAL BAGS Monologist, Extemporaneous Versifier When Original Rags comes to town when it's always something good ex- ceptually an extemporaneous versifier, the only colored one in the business. Perhaps he is not exciled by any one doing the same thing. He has greatly increased his work time last year. He wades out fearlessly, makes up his lines with good meter and perfect rhymes. He is much more rapid than formerly. One fears that he will lose his rhythm or correct rhyme owing to his rapidity but never falls. In this respect he is a wonder. He does a good bit of monologue work. It consists of short stories which he throws together in a most sensible way. He knows one of those vowel bearing voices (something after those ball bearing wheels) which you can hear when sit- ting in the very last row. His stories are liked very well, most of them were in fact his stories and verses started the fun that wouldn't be headed off. He sings "Good Night Nurse" in a measuring way. Rags will sit in well on THE CARTER TRIO Pal, Ruth, Nettie, In a Comedy Skit. The Carter Trio does a comedy skit which is brimming full of fun and also full of pointers that little Nettie will show up first in her home. The others being absent she concludes to do a little rehearsing for an entertainment show. Nettie sings "Whistling Jim" in good style which is set off at times by her engagement. It is when she dances that she shines. She did, perhaps, the prettiest buck dancing ever seen, her brown eyes are nimbly accurate. Her little feet patterned the floor like music. She shows the training she has under her feet are much interested in her development. If she sticks to them a few years will see her the greatest of her friends. Ruth Carter as the wife of the home did her part well. Much of the fun of the skirt holds her husband by writing for magazines, but in the effort the husband was mistaken, thinking the names of her subjects were love let- Paul who enters in his wife's absence begins to solloquize on the part he has played as husband, the man and table, but he boostsily asserts that it was all paid for. This is their seven years of marriage, the one comedian, droll and inimitable. He pictures the strife between the modern negro man and wife, who would of consisted of sometimes a weekly income. His hits are frequent and happy enough, judging by the apause. The windup is a comedic one, sometimes a comedy also very foolish in many. The fun does not lag at any moment. Mr. Carter deserves praise for his attitude, foolish like, yet sensible. He takes matters in an easy way, as many men do, making it plain attestation, be done about it, a philosopher. He says "At the Leveon on Revival Day." Character Delineator. Entertainer. If the name is Susie Sutton, and if it is the genuine one, look out for something good. She belongs to the class of the few amateurs, the class of her favorite on her first appearance a few months ago, doing her unrivalled turn "The Maid." The wooing of a maid is what an obese Sutton gets herself up in admirable old maid style—no mistaking. And then she tells what happens to her—how she fell to a "horrid" wif and fum and most cleverly told. It is when Miss Sutton does the "Italian woman" that she learns of wif and fum and most cleverly told. She turns rapidly from her scene of frivolity to one of intense tragedy where loomed up murder and the scenes of wif and fum and the scenes, in startling, stentorian tones, that the court is now ready to try the Italian woman for murder, or words to that affect. She has no apology and proceeds to address the judge. Her English-Italian assists the scene, also her pretty Italian costume. She has no apology and proceeds to address the judge, glorifying in her ability to genge of her, who took her husband—the father of her child. All who heir are impressed with this fine ex- She sings prettily, getting out her songs in a style that may be called beat. Her movement is the same as did Maid's Ball.

It is such an idea that comes to one who sees Aida Thrills and action were to be had nearly every moment they were on the stage; their dancing and singing were to be heard in which they responded to with popular airs. It is a strong act. The Tulu girls have a languorous grace, and they are wonderfully fascinating and soothing.

Johnson Tells Why Artists Should Do More Advertising in The Freeman. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 7—Let me say right off the reel three cheers for the Christmas number of the Freeman. The Freeman will rank as high among the colored theatrical profession as the Billboard and the new Broadway paper will rank as high among the colored theatrical profession. Believe me advertising in The Freeman pays. After placing my two-inch advertisement in the Christmas number of advice from Goodbye Going to Take This Midnight Choo Choo, Cannon Ball." I have already received more than 100印装 in professional copies from theatrical and singers. If all colored performers would advertise more than 100印装 in professional copies from theatrical and singers, they would find themselves drawing more salary and the managers would find their box office receipts increasing. Also, they would find colored and white, are the ones that are drawing the highest salaries as you already know. But it seems to me that a great man would pay $6.00 every week for drinks or a good time than to spend it on advertising their acts to the public. This, of course, applies to most of the public, but not at that, the small timers with a given act that appeals to the public can, by advertising their act every week or so, to advertising among the public, drawing equally as good a salary. All colored acts are performers that I know personally and those who I meet in different cities when discussing this act, say advertising in The Freeman pays. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE 8. H. DUDLEY CIRCUIT.

His music is still pleasing in her classy songs, and that her work is of the highest class is evidenced by the presentation of highly framed music lovers of Memphis.

Dixon, the Dallas (Tex.) producer, was the guest of Metropolitan theatrical for a few days in the city. The profession, is a big hearted, joyful good fellow and was well received by his friends, who spared no pains in making it pleasant for him during his career. Mr. Dixon was the honored guest of E. Kieron Anderson, metropolitan crtitcher from the southern city before he came to the structure for Paducah, Ky, where he assumes the management of a new playhouse that will occupy the entire city. Mr. Dixon is the producer of rare ability and Paducah should feel proud of "landing" such a "fine catch" as "Dick," a man who knows the show business and much success in his new undertaking. Rumor the management has been tendered Mr. Eugene Klemon Anderson, at press time, to lead a week in Jackson, finding a desirable location. As soon as the lease expires on the desired building, which will be the 15th, the house will be turned over to the owners and converted into a modern theater.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER GRIFFIN SISTERS. The First and Only Colored Women's Theatrical Booking Agency in the United States, and Their De- This has been going on for years, as all the old-time big colored acts have been standing the fact that they have made thousands of dollars for the white man. Now the time to stick together and work together is every colorful theatre should book all the acts from a colored agency, and a real colored agency, with no white man to book an act that we do not want. In Washington, D.C. the Griffin Sisters here in Chicago, and Br. George Bundy can keep the acts working and keep the theatres with a good bill all the time. If a white man runs a colored theatre, let him book his acts from our colorists, and let us make some money also. The Negro show business is just now in its infancy. There is plenty of opportunity for them to out for the interest of a colored performer, or any colored manager. All they are looking for is the money they can earn, and they will never do if he has an race pride. The way to success is to "do unto others as you wish that they would do unto you," and they will never do, as they have never wanted the colored people to treat them as they do the colored people. Another way is to "must stop and remember that when the crowd is packing the white mans clothes we must keep up appearances and we must it all, and that they do not want to pay the salary if they ask for a good salary. The manager must remember and be sure to keep up appearances and the attraction must get a certain salary and every other act must get paid accordingly. We are willing at any time to give advise to any act or manager about the colored show business, as we are aware of the colored theatries that motored colored theatres to their standard of today, as about seven years ago we started in them, and have stuck to the same big acts to laugh at us for working THE GRINFIELD STUDIOS HAND OUT THEIR SHOP colored houses, but we knew that the house would be glad to work their own house. be glad to work their own house. We think it lovely to stand on the stage and enclose an audience, and we are there, "where" while on white bill, you be "a just a colored act." There is no colored star in a white bill, and you are brown, vaudeville, and now the white man is saying that be is not a Negro. The white man and woman are browning and vaudeville, and now our colored men are training them to do the colored people's work. Therefore, there is nothing for our acts to do. I, Miss Emma Griffin, have had many big time white women to ask me to do the colored people's work as I do. They have offered me much money but I have refused, for I never teach a white woman something to do, a week, when for the same thing, the white manager would not give me fifty dollars, which are killing us every day. Colored actors must study more and change their acts, instead of using plain actors. They must learn to keep up with the times. We must also pay strict attention to dressing to correspond with the act, and we must learn to dress a five dollar dress will make the same impression that a twenty-five dollars one will. Our people like pretty wardrobes and nice classy acts as well as the white dyes. The colored men, when asked why they do not build the theaters of their city, state, or country, they will not patronize them. They will if we give them the worth of their lives, and if we give them the living and his Pekin Theatre was in its prime, our people did not fail to fill its doors at every performance.

His handsome trophy was awarded to the "Nompaireil" Riou, Fox and was retained until the death of the noted fighter in Portland, when it was sold in less than two years. C. E. Edwards, of Goldsfield, recently wrote to Jimmy Rohan, the Oakland native, to tell him all the famous belt for $3,900, figurating that might be given to the winner of some of the bouts held there. Born in big piece of money to be giving away in the form of a belt these days and Rohan recommended that the owner communicate, with Tom McCarey, the Los Angeles fight impresario, as Tom is elimination toaging a middleweight in competition. He taught that, and might be induced to purchase it. This is also doubtful, as Tom is not in training for a middleweight as elaborate as the stone-encrusted girdle, no matter how prominent the match is. He knows that the fighters would rather have the price of this ornament added to the size of the purse. Truly, he knows that the boxing game as much as any other branch of industry or sport. There is little sentiment in boxers of today, as in the former school. Jeffries has been praised to the skies, and possibly he deserves it; but it has been pictured. Tracing back Jeffries' career, one finds his opposition was more or less indifferent, size and other consideration being noted. He was a former coach of Corbett defeated a broken-down booze-fighter, many pounds out of condition, when he won the title. He was the most successful opponent, and his victory was as much due to Sullivan's self-exhaustion as to any punishment Corbett inflicted. He was a middle-weight — Fitzsimmons — a 35-year-old middleweight, too, who conceded him over 20 pounds in weight and stopped his run. Then came James J. Jeffries, who won the title from Fitzsimmons, who was trying to conceal the big fellow in age. Fitzsimmons, at the time of his first battle with Jeffries, weighed barely 65 pounds and was 37 years old. He was the most pounds and was just past 24 years old. Almost any sort of a rugged scrap-armed man can pound his inferior in weight, 18 years older and owning hands broken in many places. Considering these facts, Jeffries does not necessarily loom up as the greatest ring history—St. Louis Post Dispatch. (BY W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal—There is certainly no sign of decadence about the French nation. It is quick to originate of endeavour to make the mind more leased of endeavour to it is quick to take lead. For proof of this, reflect a moment on what France has added to the sum of France's knowledge in conduction with suburban gation. And without wishing to drop too suddenly from the subline to the main line, the sport has developed in the pugilistic line. It is comparatively a few years since boxing became a fad in Paris, and few the sport would gain a foothold there. Fewer still thought that France never waited for the native Gaul was too mercurial to suffer and wait and learn to recogin the opportune moment in a bruising battle, which might prove a path to success. But the French have done noble asylum for the they have duced any out-and-out beaters, but they are heading that way. To be found would be some day to beat the best man in England would be regarded as heresy in any place where the Union Jack waves, but such a thing has Bombardier Wells has been knocked out—not once, but twice by Georges Lefebvre, the French list critic foliated him humiliated over the disaster, they admitted with good grace that the better man had triumphed. He was Carpenter the only boxer who has been visited by French fighters and the records will prove that they have done themselves. The boxing team has learned to distinguish genuine bouts from bogus ones. The boxing team is first introduced in the French press it is said that some fearful and wonderful performances were worked off in the name of the fearful and wonderful of the thing that appealed to the Gauls, and the boxers saw to it that the bouts were replete with thrills even with no participant was seriously hurt. "And what's the difference?" said a colleague, the first professional worker off in the public juggling dramas before the effervescent Gauls. "In Paris boxing is entertainment, and doubtful if it will ever become a sport." ```markdown ``` But it has become sport. Ten years ago if Jack Johnson and Jim Johnson had pulled their little carrot out of the front tire big crowds, the chances are the spectators would have become hysterical with delight over the make-believe swings and the futile upcurses. Was, the Frenchmen yelled, "Throw them out!" and "Give us back our car." In New York and San Francisco when they discover that the men in the ring are "staffing," popular demonstrations of disapproval when Johnson "fought" Johnson it to be wonder what will happen when Jack Johnson and Frank Moran get together in the French capital next week. The match in question has many peculiar angles. To begin with, it is known that the carrot has been subscribed by a number of American sports in Paris. Who are they? Of the managers of angel, Joanne, Moran and a few of that kidney, it is not known that there are any American oxen who are able to handle a pair with precision. It may be that this is a misstatement of facts and that the affair is being used to justify the case, is such is the case, it is hard to understand why so much money has been set aside for Johnson when his recent bout with the other Johnson drew a six-pack. Private letter from Paris make it evident that Jack Johnson's popularity is at low ebb over there now, and that the notion that he is through as much as he was in the past count the growing suspicion that whoever gives Johnson big money for boxing is going to reimburse himself by the other man is in a measure justifiable. Of course, if Frank Moran wins his champion of the world, but how widely will he be recognized as such? Will contest contests have all the earmarks of a genuine encounter—to regard Frank as a winner was a pitchforked into the distinction? --- The cry that Johnson was "all in" and that any ordinary hustle, will be heard probably on every side and Moor will be Gumbel Smith and others will Gumbel Smith and others will THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER be made to feel that whoever challenges him has the backing of public opinion. Beating the subject this way, of course, the writer is merely giving expressions to his individual opinions. It may be that if Moran triumphs over the taint of scandal, the Pittburger will become the idol of fight fans and will be so solidly entrenched as a rhetoric contraction that he can challenge his opponents and tell them to wait until he is ready to return to the wearisome grind of the ring. The public is a whimsical proposition. ELECTING NEW CHAMPIONS MOST IMPRISING AT MASTER By Fred Keats. It is now intimated by those close to Ritchie that *mobility* to make the wicket high is necessary for the champion's prolonged idleness. As already pointed out, this is a reason for Ritchie's strange ability reason for Ritchie's strange actions. Ritchie dreads to acknowledge that he has outgrown the class, as that he means sacrificing his own mean sacrificing. In setting up of his match with Murphy in April Ritchie hoped to encounter more favorable weather conditions, so that he figures that Murphy, becoming impatient at so many delays, will consent to meet him at that weight rather than lose the match altogether. A strange state of affairs will come to aside without being defeated. Electing a new champion seems to be a most difficult matter, judging by the fact that he must contend wetter and middle weight thrones. Were the lightweight division also without a leader champion, matches would be decidedly scares. While it is true that there are more good lightweight than heavyweight and are stars at the top of their divisions, no lightweight before the public at present who is consistent enough to be a top position in the present stars is in knockout. Leach Cross is the nearest approach but he would make small headway against Welsh and Jack Britton. Britton and Welder are consistent with the "popular" score decisive victories, and old age would overtake them because they sedum score decisive victories, and even verdicts over all the contenders. Still, as difficult as it is to become a champion, the acclamation it has been done. Gunbuster has waded through all the white hopes leading honors in that class. But Gunbout accomplished this by knockout out his victims. Decisions were made in the final round and forced to depend on popular decisions his claims would not amount to much. Placing Levinsky. The exact rating of Battling Levinsky is a question still unsettled to the extent of prestige when outpainted by Bob McAllister, but the latter's victory was merely a technical one. Levinsky was myerely a technical one. The doubt that he would have won had the bout been long enough for his superior endurance to count. The affair only proved that he was not the greatest boxer in the world. Good a man it will take to put him down for the count remains to be seen. So far he come through all his battles without suffering anything worse than a few scratches. It is on this basis Levinsky decided to puzzling. Placing him not only has a strong defense but also the ability to withstand the hardest kink of knocks when he fails to escape all that comes on.
