The men who had the fortune to be trained in some aspect of the plantation who took part and made access and some told of the success. The conference opened Wednesday with a meeting of the teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers and business men. There was a lot of discussion in every particular. Prof. W. H.

Cosey made a special prayer, recounting the prayers through the prayers of the men and women who served in the days of slaves and possie. For it all be thanked God. The feature was a practical address delivered by Prof. William H. Holtzchow the young man through whom he had taught. He had called people together. He wanted to see the farmer better his condition, and thought that it was possible for them to meet in his opening remarks he reminded the people that it was the tenth time they had met together o discuss problems confronting them and if possible find solutions for them. He made many of the people who were tenants ten years ago were now owners of their farms and were making good. They had paid for the farms and farms some were buying land. He appreciated the fact that in addition to this they were at the same time educating the children. He wanted them to be good public school students and make the public schools better as well as the other schools. He urged that they stay in touch with the white doctors, the white doctors, lawyers, bankers, merchants, business men in general and tell them of the condition of their patients. He urged that the titers who would be willing to help them. He had always been able to find white people who desired to see the patients. He used in building up Ufax Normal and Industrial Institute, could be used in building up other schools. He discouraged the moving around so much by many of the farmers declaring that they are accomplished but little. He regretted that there were some people who did not want to work every year if it were only from one house to another on the same plantation. He told them to get a permit. He commended the people for the progress made. He spoke of the four million negroes emancipated with less education and read and write, but now there are fully 10,000,000 with 70 per cent. of them being able to write and read and many college and high school graduates. He was given an ovation. Then followed the stories of the men—who had worked in the soil, men who had worked in the ditches, who had worked to make it possible for the negroes to become educated through the school. The stories related by some of the men were marvellous. Some come out of slaves without names, and now owned thousands of acres of land, and some owned tre plantation where they serve the negroes close to the they left resolving to do greater things in the future. A BUILDING FOR THE COLORED LODGES (By J. E. W. Clarke.) HELENA. Mort. Feb. 1—A movement is being discussed by one of the fraternal organizations of this city looking toward the erection or purchase of a building for the use of the church. This project will have the hearty support of every member of all the lodges in Helena, as the time is fast approaching. Must seek the mountain peaks or deep ravines if they would have any sort of quarters in which to hold meetings. During twenty-five years of residence in Helena, the writer has seen many worthy centuries make feeble contributions and see little light each and every time with the same fate. Their existence was merely embryonic. Let every fraternity man be awakened to the need for this civic improvement, and race advancement, and Helena will see an awakening that will be an honor to our community. This matter will well govern them against the membership, setting aside all incompetence and jealousy to the end that the very best timber possessions are secured to carry on the landable plan.

The Parisian modist could she have looked upon the styles represented in the gowns adorning the quenely figures, as they gracefully stepped, to the time of the tango, grizzly, and other new and fancy dances. Some of the older heads were nodded, and said: the new dances are not quite as pleasing as the credit to it as the best social "spasm" of the season, and the officers and members of the club have been unanimous in their support of them. The officers are: Mr. Arthur Palmer, president; Geo. M. Lee, Jr.; secretary; Eddie Miller, treasurer at the auditorium on the 18th. Mrs. Geo. W. Alexander, who has been in Washington, D.C., for the past year or longer, yet returned.

To the Editor The Freeman. pers I got from your one generous render. One colored stationery printer here states he never saw but three colored he sent him in press work before he composed and artistic colored printers. He never saw a colored man's paper before. He is now 22. He only saw Dr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Jack Johnson's photos in the papers. So this young man and several white mates inscribed the colored newspaper with they they constantly. I shall be pleased to distribute any copies sent me to good advantage, to small send them to students, Indians and Africans, also white ministers. They are the hardest bit to convince that the American negro has any deserves or foundation for any. So when it comes to positive creatures as the ministers It gives me pleasure to refer with delight men such as the late Hon. Frederick C. cagao, Col. Chas, Filmore, of New York. Mr. Chas, Alexander Hesterman, Boston, Matt Cerry, real estate owner, Puskee and the Tuskegee institute. Bear with me. Let me cite one case. Tear me know, where is my family in one house, in one mother, in one daughter, in one mother, three daughters, one son, two daughters, grand daughter, one son-in-law, four middle, and two men lodgers.

Have you anything there to beat in your career, an cite thousands of far more soraid people than you know Britain like a book. I study all races, but my most sincere love is people. I do not feel that the negro of the negro of America is so remote as Dr. Washington pictures it to be. I feel that the black people are other people, and as I in my little way of looking at things, I feel this black shortcoming is his blindness in only what he is doing. That seems to be a negro characteristic the world over have seen read and experienced the black tactics. Now don't be selfish.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Beautiful snow—plenty of the beautiful right in through here. As Abe Martin might say: Why is it the colored brother don't like snow? Send The Freeman a mite for the preserving of the Fred Douglass home. We will forward it to the proper authorities. We will announce your donation. It took 160,000 workmen to clean the New York streets of the recent snow. The cost was upwards of $500, 000. Indeed, it is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Dean Kelly Miller is rapidly acquiring an international reputation. One day last week he received through the mail a copy of "Public Opinion" of London, England, containing the full quotation of his prose poem, "I See and Am Satisfied." This poem was contributed sometime ago to the "Independent," and is described by the London journal as a "remarkable rhapsody." The same mail brought an order from Tokyo, Japan, for a copy of "Race Adjustment." The Colored Y. M. C. A. is a pictorial show this week, and a very helpful kind of a show. The state board of health lighting disease tuberculosis particularly, has had made photographs which show treatments mostly pertaining to the outdoor or fresh air theories. These have been loaned the Y. M. C. A. managers. Many interesting pictures are to be seen, and which, without doubt, will be helpful in assisting the work which has been undertaken by the Y. M. C. A., that of fighting the white plague. Frederick Douglass day was observed in several cities this year. However, we failed to note mention was made of the effort to raise funds to discharge the indebtedness on his home. A movement of the kind is on foot, the object being to preserve the home as a memorial to the race. This publication will receive contributions in any amounts, the same to be forwarded to the proper authorities at Washington, D. C. The movement is on. It should not fall, Pennies, nickels and dimes can do the work. We will publicly announce all monies received. Tuskegee had the good fortune recently to benefit to the extent of $25,000 by the will of Benjamin Leeds, of Boston, which was filed in that city last month. Dr. Booker T. Washington is making an effort to build up his school fund to the $3,000,000 mark He has made splendid headway owing to the generosity of his friends and admirers throughout the country. With such a fund the institution will be lifted to independence, and which will insure the prosecution of the great work now going on, or that which is contemplated, without fear of a financial stringency in its affairs. Race restriction clauses in property deeds were declared illegal in Los Angeles, Cal., last week. Such restrictions are known in more places than Los Angeles. They have always been looked on as a perversion of the rights of individuals the thing which has made for the country's reputation as having laws that are not respecters of persons. It is not conceivable, that lawyers wherever they may be, think of such restricting clauses as consistent with the laws. They have been quiet, as a rule, knowing that it was the old race question over again, and of which they were a part. The effect of the decision may not be far reaching, yet it says much for the judge who had the nerve to stand for both the letter and spirit of the law. President Wilson is being fought to a standstill as it concerns his Panama canal free toll view. Nevertheless, it is thought that he will win. He stands for national integrity, and he is not alone. Many of the thoughtful leaders of the country agree with him that our country committed itself by treaty to the agreement that favors would not be shown the vessels of those nations who used the canal, including vessels of our own country. The fact that we built the canal is weighty, all right, but the international phase lifts the question to international consideration. That a treaty necessary at all ages is of that treaty's value. That a treaty was necessary against the theory that we can do as we choose in the matter. The ultrapatriot wishes to see his country take high grounds on all questions, all great ones especially. The citizenship is something of a reflection of the management of a nation. "THE NEGRO FARMER." "The Negro Farmer," published at Tuskegee Institute, has made its appearance after a formal announcement several weeks ago calling attention to the necessity of such a journal and its forthcoming publication. According to the title page of the new publication, it will be published in the interest of the home, farm and garden. It will be especially devoted to the interest of Negro land owners, tenant farmers and those who employ Negro labor. It has it that it is the only Negro farm newspaper in the world, and that it is to be circulated among 2,000,000 colored farmers. "The Negro Farmer" is issued at Tuskegee, and most likely will serve as an adjunct to that institution. Dr. Washington indores the publication and perhaps will take a lively interest in all that pertains to it. The first numbers so far are strictly in keeping with the advertised purpose. Since it is the only publication of the kind by Negroes for Negroes, it should meet with instant success. However, this has in mind its efficiency. If it gives real help and support to the farmer, advising him any other publications do, then it has a right to expect generous support. With Dr. Washington standing for the publication and others of prominence and worth, we are safe in saying that its intentions will be carried out. We congratulate the effort and also those individuals who have essayed a publication on such an unusual line. We review of the great number it can serve. WHITE TEACHERS BARRED FROM TEACHING IN NEGRO SCHOOLS. From what we understand the legislature of South Carolina has succeeded in passing the bill prohibiting white person from teaching in Negro schools. Much has been said by the colored people of that state in opposition to the bill, and not a little by the white people. It stands to reason that the colored people are the ones interested in knowing what an impertinent part white teachers have played in the education of the race in that state. We took the occasion to say last week that the elimination of the white teacher is not a calamity; not that the loss is not severe, but that the years of preparation have thrown forward many good and capable colored men and women who will not allow the advantage to be lost. Many expressions of an almost hopeless nature have been seen in race publications, bewailing the situation as if intellectual woe and benignment were to follow. To the say least, the view that woe will follow is not fair to colored teachers who are bequeathed the charges of those white men and women have been set aside, fact, the bill, as we understand it, was not meant to discourage. Negro education, but to discourage the idea of sociality. Looking at it from that side, the bill appears a sateguard about the white race which is reputed to need it least. But really, the object is to avoid all appearances of social contact, thus, in the interest of racial solidarity as it concerns the two great divisions—whites and "blacks." If the bill aims merely at elimination of the white teachers, and if South Carolina still makes appropriations for the maintenance of Negro schools, there is not much reason for the strenuous opposition that has been noted. The colored teachers, we take it, are slandered when the inference is spread broadcast that they have not been considered in the educational scheme of that state. It is too great a confession to admit that the race finds it a hopeless task in the effort to follow the lead of the white teachers. It would be a tursery on the Negro's education, declaring for unsusceptibility, if in all of these years, he is found wanting, that the race has not risen above the dead calm of institution. We say "dead calm" in contradistinction to that imitation which goes whenever there is a result of, knowledge, whenever there is a pursuit of education, of information. We mean personality, individual, the "laws" of psychology—in short, the teaching art. It is this that is mourned by the Negroes of South Carolina. It is this loss, if it is so, that the Negro teachers must supply. It may be presuming in us to speak so specifically of the qualities of those who are to succeed the white teachers of South Carolina. But we are not without witnesses to the fact that the Negro of the state has cried out nearly as one man, protesting against the change; not because of the social equality idea, but because of the probable educational loss. They are hurt, as we see it, in a place that will be easiest remedied. The thing of social equality aimed at does not exist anyhow. The Negroes do not care for it. If they did, here would be a loss that could not be remedied. So it appears that this bill is not so bad in its object since it conforms with the views of either race—as to socially equality. It offends particularly in that it violates the spirit of our government in that it interfer with the rights of the individual to come and go as he chooses. It does not particularly offend the Negro as such in view of the admitted possibility of, and the undesired thing of social equality. SENATOR VARDAMAN OF MISSIS SIPPI. The Star, the only morning publication of Indianapolis, had an article on Senator Vardaman, on Wednesday of this week under the caption of "Vardaman Injures the South." The very title commands admiration regardless of the sensible, wholesome comment that follows. It said: The preposterous Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, fire caterer and renter, recently declared in the Senate that the "white women of the Southern states with more dread in the days when the wild man and wild beast roamed the frontier." The reason of this declaration is that the large negro population of the South Of course, any one who is acquainted with conditions in the South knows that the South has a poor own answer from the fact that the Southern whites continue to favor negro workmen and give no encouragement to establish themselves there. But it is interesting to have direct testimony on the subject from a Southern A Louisiana contributor to the New York Post, a white man born in the South, who has only one observed conditions for forty years, declares that what Vardaman says is absolutely false and that he himself is never even seen even in the city he be afraid to drive she desired. Southern women, he declares, go where they will as freely as the women of any country. In country districts especially colored coachmen are the rule, and it never occurs to a white woman to distrust her coachmen, no matter where she lives. In all the country districts of the South, this writer insists that Mr. Vardaman see white women—members of aristocratic families, doing their own driving in surreys and phaeton and with every sign of entire security. The Star quotes the writer: I have both seen and heard negroes ever since I was born, where they are few and where they are many. I ought to have seen them in claiming that I do have no insinacity in claiming that I do know a great deal about them—quite enough to enable me to warn the decent and fair-minded people of this country against taking James K. Vardaman seriously when his professed negrophobia becomes vocal! In further comment the Indianapolis publication said: It is, of course, the design of Vardaman and his ilk to disseminate this sort of slander against Southern negroes as an excuse for political wrongs perpetrated on them and for adverse legislation directed toward them, as in regard to the outlay of school tax. They seem not to understand that such tales harm the interests of the white people of the South not less than they harm the negroes. Well and good. A witness has been raised up who knows the truth, and who is not afraid to speak it. We are well aware that our race does not subscribe fully to the white man's civilization, taking the race as a whole. We know equally as well that the cause for such persecution as is the way of the Mississippi Senator grows less and less each year. We have never seen it that Mr. Vardaman has a right to contest our citizenship. We are citizens and have just as a good right, if any, to attack Mr. Vardaman' citizenship as he has ours. If we fail to keep the laws the prisons will hold us just the same as they can hold lawless white people. It is plain that the Senator has no case against us. Our Sir is to be congratulated that it will be to see the Mississippi as a menace to the South, and likewise to the whole country. That publication may not have any particular love for the Negro, but it knows when it has unduly treated, and knowing it, it has had the nerve to say so. DR. J. E. MORELAND, Y. M. C. A INTERNATIONAL SECRETARY. Dr. J. E. Moreland, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., may well be considered a Y. M. C. A. inspiration. He was in Indianapolis this week, bringing cheer and hope to the present movements that are now on, and to the work in general. Dr. Moreland spoke enthusiastically of that distinguished Jewish philanthropist, Julian Rosenwald, who has been the Negro Y. M. C. A. eaveng, the bringer of good news to men struggling to do something at race uplift. In the short space of three years twelve cities have taken advantage of his munificence. Twelve beautiful 'temples' have been reared to be used by the Negro boys and young of the land. into these alone Mr. Rosenwald poured $25,000 an unparalleled generosity for such a purpose, so far as our people are concerned. The International Secretary came from Cincinnati, O., where the colored people are busy collecting funds preparatory to buy a site for the erection of a building. The Y. M. C. A. spirit is on there, and in a short while that city will also boast of an incentive for efficiency, integrity and good citizenship as has been evidenced in Indianapolis. He will go from here to Nashville, Tenn., where plans are also being considered for establishing a Y. M. C. A. Thus it will be seen that there is a silent crusade on—an invasion, and city after city is capitulating, and for the good of the citizens. Dr. Moreland says that plans are being perfected for Chesapeake Summer School for the Y. M. C. A. secretaries, which is to be held at A-Rundel-Bay, Md. next summer, from July 8 to 22. He says this promises to be the most successful meeting that has ever been held. In speaking of the part played by the race, Dr. Moreland said that the Negroes have given $25,000 of the money that has entered into the building and equipment of the Y. M. C. A. structures. This, he thought, was a splendid offering in view of the financial status of the race. JACKSON, TENN. Mrs. James Brown Entertains NEWS OF LAUREL, MISS (By C. H. Moses, Box 615, Agent of The Freeman.)

We were told to sing at the funeral we were waiting with the organist at the house for the arrival of the train from him but to the displacement of every one there was no one on it. And while I am writing this article, I am still lying in the undertaking establishment within a block of where now sit.

The Porto Rican Girls headline a bill that actually exceeds last week's great bill. In all the world there is no parallel to a massive great act. It stands alone in mastering the technical pantomime. No greater trio of stars (in their respective lines of work) are in existence today than Miss Frank Montgomery and Flower McClain, with two drops (one of them a river scene with electrical showy showing a passing steamer) run a close-up that that Mr. Montgomery is one of our most comical comedians. Unlike most of the delicacies of the droll negro he does not overdo, and the courtroom worthy of her teammate. This is a great act. Leila B.

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY Travelers Well Treated When introduced—Hard Wearing "cladding" for the (By Jull Jones, Jr.) Southern hospitality, the much abused word of misconstructed meaning, is the norm of hospitality or even intention of it to the stranger that travels through Atlanta, Ga., the people treat every one fine and really treat the would-be northerner better than the northerner would be treated in Dixon line. Southern hospitality comes in a personal way. Should any one have a letter of introduction to a northerner, but as a stranger best of attention, but as a stranger not colored men and women could financially afford to travel three or four months for pleasure unless they are selling some kind of hair, straightener or other beauty product.

The world is not exactly "square" nor will it ever be. It, however, is getting "square" right now. But, because it is never seen it will, however, be exactly square. In France, for instance, the fighting business has come up wonderfully, and the advent of new technologies and yet the advance of light and frivolous comment, which, of course, advertises him but which does not bring him additional respect. Further, this is shown more precise what I mean. The point here is to show the advance of sport interest in France. It is said that the sport is not a question. This is being said in good faith. In fact effort is beng made to have created a department of the state, the business department and regulate sport interests, it is thought that the country will not go so far as that, but there will be governmental departments under secretary at least. Already a university of sports has been established with something like $200,000 for its support, according to The idea is not merely one to win championship, or for turning out that kind of think that the idea of championship is not wholly foreign to the scheme. That very fact of championship, the dwarf sport impulse. That country has Carpenter who beat Bombardier Wells, the English champion. That the world isizen, the world's champion heavyweight, and around whom will center interest until he is sheared. That only given to sport will look with mingled curiosity and admiration on that country, the best fighting man. That is a truth that many men do not like to admit, but it is one of the forceful, self-asserting, plain truths that According to information the new sport impulse that France has on is for the benefit of the physical, physiological and mental generation, and also serves as an exhaust valve for the excessive steam of those wound up in the event of a fall. It is truthfully said that baseball is the popular vent, the means of relaxation for pent up minds and bodies who, by consent, lay aside their animosities, their personal differences and grievances, in this rehearsal of the game is something like a rehearsal of hearths of the Romans in ancient days, which to reach, meant immunity from further pursuit of the great treasure of the earth. Thus the baseball stadium is greater than the democracy. It contributes the greatest benefit to the sport of the reaction—it is Utopian. Perhaps it requires a little stretch of the imagination to see it in that light, but the reason is not too unreasonable—it simply think. So the talk about Jack Johnson hurting the sporting business does not mean he gave it a jar; perhaps he hurt it in the sense that the husbandman hurts his trees when he clips them at the base of a tree, or stimulates it. It was just so in Jack Johnson's case. More sport campaigning in the history of the country before, laws have been passed promoting and regulating sport. Jack Johnson's reticent boxing matches which for so long had been under suspicion, surveillance. In short Jack Johnson gave universality to his phase of sport and lended a lift to all --- The approaching contest between Johnson and Moran tends to keep the former in the limelight. And of course he will do with Johnson—another evidence of the worth of his "crown." Speaking of the fight one writer says Johnson has have the extreme pleasure of weighting Frank Moran for the heavyweight championship of the world and for—nothing! Now, my text was in the beginning of this book, and square," I could have said "fair" just as well as "square." Now, this brother seems inclined to enjoy the fact that Johnson has grown skeptical that Johnson has grown skeptical about the other men looking after his affairs. He had great experience in America, paying men for advice. But he was drawn into the conclusion that jack Johnson should only trust Jack Johnson. So when the contracts for his fight with Moran were settled, he was justified that this same Jack Johnson is being pursued by divers persons, creditors, to whom he owes various amounts, judgments having been taken against him in the case of his involvement in England. By the terms of the contract Moran's backers agreed to deposit the sum to the credit of Johnson, with the provision that it would be touchable only by his wife at 2 p. m on the day of the night. Jack thought that he thereby secured the money from Johnson, and collected himself, as he had another clause inserted so that the money would come to him in case of his wife's death. Jack and Johnson are laughing at Johnson because he admitted that the money was his own, consequently subject to the very attachment process. Without meaning offense to Jack I feel that I must work this off on him. "He that is his own lawyer has a fool for allotment.

The two men used to ask Why, right now, he's so good that he could whip我 if I were in my prime and I guess that was some little job according to way the newspapers used to say. "Why, only Tuesday the boy landed one on my jaw and put me out. Of course, he was a good man but it shows he pinch the kid has got. Even Jeffries when in his prime could not hit harder. It was some wallop, and it took me several minutes "I didn't want my boy to be a fighter, but he took to it like a duck to water. Before I knew anything doobie did, I was always daylightouts out of some toughs and bullies hereabouts. "One night I heard a scap was to be taken to the gym, but I followed that weighted about 290 pounds and some unknown kid. That 200-pounder was supposed to be the best scraper in the neighborhood, but that kid made a punching bag. I was told about it the next day, and you can imagine my surprise when I was told it was my own boy, then 16 years old, that had knocked out a boxer and executed scraper. The proposed Johnson-Langford battle is a no go it seems. According to report, Langford is now on his way home. Like that army more or less known, he marched up the hill down again. SPORT COMMENT PICKED UP HERE AND THERE Wolkast, to his vast amusement, weighted over 145 pounds when he got on the scales before he went to Chicago to play. He was challenged to move there and also to battle Tommy Gary, the Chicago Heights boy. It is apparent from this that the boy formed a team to get down to the old light weight limit and there is just a chance he would play a demon in what would join the ranks of that heterogeneous division of almost light weights made famous by Packey McFarland and a team of other players. These days like a middle weight's and he is the picture of health. Little Arthur Knight defended Kid Cole at Jackson's Hill, Lexington, Ky. Friday night, Feb. 5th, in ten fast paced. He issues a challenge to meet any boy in the world for the colored light weight. --- London Sporting Life, recognized authority in England, does not believe that Jack Johnson and Sam Langford would be able to compete in the only place where this milil could be decided without violent opposition," the paper says editorials "and it will not concede to them." The only place where pounds, win, lose or draw. There is no objection to two negroes boxing in this country, and, therefore, the match would not have the repugnant feature face us. Johnson was to have faced Barrardier, but he cannot see that the match ever will be consummated, in this country, at least." --- The only way to make our modern gladiators perform is to keep 'em broke. Then the world will be able to eat them. But they are a nice and fat, and as long as the old bankroll don't get any chicks in it they will be able to hand the fans a lot of jazz, instead of wading in and showing the world that they are on the up and up. Somebody ought to make a law that would compel these fellows to fight. The trouble is that they get their knives out and attack the most of them, believe in that beiwk-ered saying about a sucker being born every minute, and, from the way they are scrambling around, none of them are scrambling about missing any of these suckers. And there's going to be fun fast and furious for the Australian fans when the first boatload of bruisers is dumped off the wharf at Sydney. Some of them are toss bloomers enough to cause a real saxey boost to be sent in for all the bloom'r Yankee scrappers. We'll have to talk about them in the Australian papers. "I think I am the only fighter of the present day who never has been defeated. In itself is some honor to possess in retiring. You know a fellow goes along with me, but he isn't. Constant training shackens one's speed and saps one's vitality. That's why I have decided to retire. That's why I have decided to retire. That's why I have decided to retire. That's why I have decided to retire. Cross hit me the hardest of anybody, and Murphy in the bout on the coast extended me the hardest. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER IF MCFARLAN AND GIBBONS CAN AGGRETE THEY WILL BE PACKY'S LAST, BATTLE Boxer From Chicago Says He Dosen' Need the Money and Is Ready to Quit the Game—Wants Later Date Consider It Greatest Match of Hib Career "As this is the greatest match in my career, I want the most money I ever received. You know, when you have something to sell you want the best price possible for your goods. So it is with me to consider myself a historic line and I want the biggest amount of money I can secure for my services. "I've never been keen for the publicity end of the game. On that occasion without ever having won a title. A champion is too much in the time-tight to suit him. The game never takes place in the papers. On that know that it helps you newspaper fellows in your line of work I would rather not have my name or prize money. I want. A fellow just needs so much to get along on, and what is money if you haven't got it? I don't. Chicago that earns me $6,000 a year and it was only at my last fight here against Jack Bibbion in Garden City. In Walt Disney's broker, advising me to buy Pneumatica Tube, that netted me $2,000 profit. I want, you see, that is not money I want. You see, my brother, Pothole brothers, four brothers, and three sisters well provided for, and I don't think that that story. Also I am going to get married to a nice Joliet girl in a couple of months and that is all the more reason I want to retire while I have my health." Packey was then asked what weight he would send when he stepped into the gym. "I will probably weigh about 140 pounds, and I can't get it on the scale and can't enter the ring weighing more than 140 pounds and be in good condition. Right now I weigh 140 pounds." Chieagoan Wants Later Date Than March 9. "I have asked Billy Gibson to set the date for the bout later than Marcey as the contest is best or trim when we climb through the ropes. I feel sure that I can whip Gibbons. I consider a match with him as best I could. I have come all the way from Chicago to attend to the details. No matter how the bout is presented I will expect that Gibbons couldn't expect such boys as Cross, Fritton and the like to get into the ring with me knowing that could be a bad thing. If I best Gibbons who is generally acknowledged the king of middle-weights, you could have a short bout to take on, expect me to short bout. McFarland is the guest of Billy Gibson while in town. He intends to stay with Gibbons and the short bout. Ready manager of Gibbons, is coming on Wednesday, when it is expected the articles of agreement will be signed Yesterday Jackey attended the theatre. GET IN, STAY IN, AND PLAY GAME HARD," SAYS GOVENOR TENER. HARISBURG, Fa—Johnny Tenor's rise to fame and fortune is a story for boys with three morals instead of one. In their order the morals are: Get in the game. Stay in the game. Play in the game. Pardon the guard. Johnny Tenner, who began life as a $1-a-week clerk in a Pittsburgh store, and added a dollar a week by pitching for a local baseball team and who by progressive upward steps had become congressman and governor of the great state of Pennsylvania, is now the newly elected governor of baseball clubs, an office in the opinion of many, second in importance only to that of the president of the United States. The split that gives with baseball—which makes the hard knocks and to make the most of opportunities—coupled with native thrift and economy, has put him where he is, in the position of stockings, with the shoulders of an Atlas, a great barret of a body and arms and legs that are bundles of massed muscles, he is in the position of a group. A giant in physique, he is also a giant in strength and in work. Born in Ireland. From Pittsburgh he was released to Baltimore, and next he went to Haverford, Mass., where he was awarded the local team was so great that the game was in a way an official function. William H. Moody, then a rising young lawyer, was at the president of the New England League. The big professional opportunity came to Tener when he joined the faction of the league in 1888. A. G. Spaiding, the manager, long had wanted a giant on his team. The eminent Tim Murranech chief scout led the league, hearing that his friend Spaiding would be man in man with an arm like the piston of a freight locomotive and the delivery of a catapult would be possible. Tener. He became a whirlwind pitcher and went with "Top" Anson's Chicago All-American team on its triumphant tour around the world, visiting countries and meeting many monarchs. Was Highly Honored. At Bristol, England, he sat at the right, the center, and the bottom of the banquet of welcome to the team, and at Windsor the honor fell to him. He became King, Edward how to de liver a curve ball. When he wasn't playing ball he was mixing with real dukes, earls and miscellaneous nobles, and he returned to America. Tener retired from professional baseball, because his people insisted on honoring him politically. Tener saved his money he started a national bank at Charlerol, Pa., and with his baseball record as a campaign document, he was elected to congress, and he returned to governorship. The opposition sought to turn the tide against him with all sorts of stories, but the grand order behind him and he was rooted into the great and dignified office by more than 25,000 plurality. Tener to the state and baseball has taken him from the state for its own high purposes. As governor he draws $10,000 a year. His term in the National executive office is for 18 years. Tener will carry the double responsibilities, but he is big enough and able to do it. When in the national games Tener played in the batting and fielding averages of the house. As governor he played in games for charity. His baseball suit and his hat accession by side for any occasion. "I consider baseball the greatest game the world has ever known," said this chieftain of the league. "It is the most important of its most larity is attested on every side. It is clean, honest, progressive. It is health-making and character-building. Toddlers in their own rubber ball and in a shinzie for a bat, and later in a regular form it becomes the game of the schoolboy, and continues to be the game of youth and young manhood. It is the game of baseball I feel that I am serving my country." CHANGES IN RULES MADE GOV- ERNING BASEBALL. Caoches May Encourage Batsmen But Keep Hands Amend Laws, Paint Laws, Special to The Freeman. NEW YORK—Important changes in the playing rules of baseball were made last week by the joint committees of a meeting at the offices of the National League. 1. The rules permitted to forbid a coach from stopping a runner with his hands, or obstructing him in any way. The runner shall be declared out if the coacher rules to stop him by any player. Another change in the rules governing coaching permits the coacher verbally well as the best runner. The rules, heretofore, only permitted the coach to encourage the base runner. The rules, hereafter, only permitted the coach to allow to run as far as he can. For example, a batsman hit a ball hits the umpire, the batsman shall be allowed to run as far as he can. For example, a batsman was hit by a thrown ball in four territory. 2. In the event that a player stops a thruball ball with any portion of his uniform, or by throwing of a glove, the base runner shall take two bases, or which permitted a batsman to take three bases when a ball was caught by a cap or after a glove was thrown. When It Hits Umpire When a ball hits an umpire, after it gets away from a fielder, the base runner is entitled to as many bases as he can reach, and the rule which sends base runners back when the ball hits the umpire. The pitching rules were amended in such a way that that perimeter was extended to the twirling slab. Heretofore the rules compelled the pitcher to stand behind the slab, but the rule was not always observed. The National League agreed to give the pitcher a base runner, hereafter, will not be permitted to run on an infield fly. The American League's interpretation of the infield fly rule. A base runner, hereafter, will not be permitted to run on an infield fly. The American League's interpretation of the ball rule, calling for a balk on the pitcher dropping the ball.

The Negro in America. (By Alfred W. Abrams.) Special to THE FREEMAN No racial movement in the world today is more interesting; but where the poet liberator stops his part finished, the poet liberator stops his part shackles fail, but the citizen fails to emerge. How is the Negro to gain self-control, to be controlled by others? Arise and walk was once said to the lame, but a miracle worker was required. In one respect the problem is unique. The Negro is called upon to rise in the scene from the civilization of a civilization representative of the highest—his shortcomings, backsliding, failures, cannot but be numerous, discouraging, and between the virtues and blacks in many respects such as to produce the belief in the minds of their former attainable. Once a slave always a slave, so far as the Negro is concerned, is her nature. In the period fifty years, we are today to inquire whether the American Negro has proved his capacity to deceive and improve his facts. The first question the ethnologist or naturally ask is: "How proved himself to be a contact in contact with illization, and increase as a freeman, or does he slowly die out like the Americas?" The commis answers that the total number of Negroes in 1900, 8,840,789. LOYAL NEIGHBORS HOLD OPEN MEETING. THOMPSON ATTENDING TO HIS "KNITTING." Our reliable Washington correspondent, R. W. Thompson, who has been in the journalistic harness for over a decade, has a strong influence and literary excellence, refuses to waste his time "answering" libellers and envious critics. His time is spent solving serious consideration to misrepresentations, or to deny malicious lies. The "Black-Handers" who are pursuing him with a venom unpardonable, are not the powers that control his employment or injure him with the profession which he honors and adorns. Mr. Thompson eminently strives to maintain his own business and allowing his enmities to do the worrying. And they seem to be doing a-plenty of it. With the numerous columns and publications of the "Sage of the Potomac" count for anything in the worrying line. The country is with Mr. Thompson against him.
