C.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18—Hon. James C. Napier, former Register of the Treasury, spent last week in the building a number of business matters. With his charming wife, Mr. Napier was the guest of Mrs. John M. Langston, the president of Hillside Cottage, under the care of Howard University, and made sarced by its intimate association with the president, John Mercer Langston. Commercial activity evidently agrees with Mr. Napier. He grows younger and more assured, and he never looked better nor seemed more vigorous than since his retirement from the cares of state as the legalizeer of the nation's paper industry. Mr. Napier, the principal spirit of the One Cent Savings Bank at Nashville, Tenn., and it was a good year for the government's bank examiner who recently, without notice of his coming, went over the books and cash of the government's bank. Everything was found "shipshape" to a penny, the books were pronounced "heat and admirably kept, a marvel of accuracy and growth," bank owned of A. No. 1. The volume of business passed the million dollar mark and its rapid growth, measuring to a great extent, the commercial and financial development of the colored citizens of the white people, who had not thought possible until they viewed it in old figures on the record of the One Cent Savings Bank institutions in the neighborhood.

Four Republicans voted against the Democrats against the Jones amendment, which asked that the apportionment be between the states in localities where the people instituted colleges for the colored people. Two Democrats voted with the Republican Senators favor of it. The Republican Senators opposed the amendment were Cummins and Vance of Iowa; Fall of New Mexico; and Bridges of Idaho. Senators cried of Ohio, Democrats, voted for the amendment. Although the Jones amendment failed Senator Hitchcock secured the adoption of an amendment, by a viva voce vote, providing that there should be no discrimination because of race the demonstration work on the farm. In the course of the long and acrimonious struggle with strong speeches on favor of the handling of a portion of the fund by Negroes directly made by Senators once, the clapperiller too and the references to the progress of the race in education, wealth, business and good citizenship were highly complimentary. With Lever bill, as finally passed by the Senate, would appropriate unconditionally $30,000 annual appropriation, amounting to $800,000 a sum of $800,000 for the coming year, with a yearly increase of $600,000 annually.

After years the bill would provide a permanent appropriation of $4,800,000 annually. Rich Treats for Music Lovers.

It is the pride of the colored people of Chicago and the northwest and it's to them to give them the financial aid they need from the financial aids given by Mr. Anderson, there is another; it gives an opportunity for physicians to practice physical and get a wide and practical experience in a well regulated hospital. It knows the patients and surgeons as Dr. William Clay Bryant. Dr. U. G. Dalley, Dr. McKissack, Dr. K. Dalley, and a host of others in practical and academic cities. Three young doctors are there today getting a similar training. It gives hundred good citizens to immediately rally to the aid of Provident and show Mr. Rosenwald that we as a race such institutions at stake at heart. Primary Today in Chicago As we mail our letter, the news is abroad that Mr. William Cowan, an honorable colored citizen, may be nominated for councilman in report of the town, not reliably let us hope so.

Rage Panery Widely Reed Probably in no other city in the country are race papers more widely read than in the city of Chicago. At one newspaper stand last year, the newspaper and there are over 200 news stands in this city where weekly papers are sold. On Friday night, colored people new stand at the forest next week a weekly paper as a reader of the Chicago Tribune.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The man who loves winter the very most was perfectly satisfied this week. Rufus Cantrel should know by this time that the mayor is not playing with him. England has wisely concluded to let the Mexicans have it out right among themselves. See that snow last Monday? It snowed in every possible direction, and the day was in a very winding sheet. Send in a mite for the preservation of the Frederick Douglass home. Send to the Freeman. We will give you public credit and forward the same to the proper authorities at Washington. President Wilson has the better of the toll exemption situation. He stands for national honor, the keep the free氧 obligations. And if there were doubt the great democratic sense of the country save as against the thing of the swelling the coffers of the few. Waterways must be paid for. Who is to do it if not those benefitting? Quiet is once more restored in the Haiti republic according to Commander Bierer of the gunboat Wheeling which was on duty at Cape Haiti. Zamor, the new President, is secure in his office, the capital being thoroughly invested with his troops. The rebel leader is being pursued. What will be the fate of Zamor is fascinatingly speculative—this in view of the varying political moods of the islanders. For the first time in the history of the country the race generally is on its merits as it concerns race love. Effort is being made to redeem the Frederick Douglass home. Yet we are not generally known. We are now helping to make it known, so that there will be no excuse of that kind in the event of failure. The object is to preserve the home as a memorial to the man—owing to what he was. Will we fail? The colored brother of Scotland who hzd a bit to say about discrimination in this country has a case on his own hands right in bonnie Scotland. The colored man who was not wanted on the election board in Partick will have to stand on his dignity and declare after a highland chief of other days, that he is peer "to any lord in Scotland here, highland or lowland, far or near," and the rest of it. Communication comes from Partick, Scotland, concerning a colored man who recently served that municipality as clerk on the election board. Letters were exchanged between individuals of the community which were considered important enough to be published in the daily papers. They will be seen elsewhere in this issue. The point a moral rather than to adorn a tale. It is this, that, there is a little race prejudice and discrimination "pretty nearly" everywhere. It has not been so very long since we had to pay toll to travel on our ordinary highways, our country roads, "Many a time and off" came the toll man in the small hours of the night, shivering in his nightshirt, with lantern in hand, collecting the tax ere the great pole—the embargo-lifted to the advance of the wayfarer. Yet some one in Congress made the assertion that it was not customary for the government to charge toll for the use of the waterways. What's the difference? In either event the object is to collect money for building and maintenance. The negres of Norfolk, Va., boast of sixty-five saloons. It strikes us as rather an appalling number. Yet it is all right if there is fairly a proportionate number of the various other business places that a well "gotten up" town should have. This means—well, how many groceries, drug stores, meat shops, clothing stores? If all of the other stores show up fairly well Norfolk ought to be an ideal place for colored people. Think of the employment of colored people! But we fear that the other stores do not keep pace with the saloons. How about it, Norfolk? George L. Knox, of the Freeman, has been appointed by Mayor Bell as one of a committee to take charge of the charity fund to be contributed by the moving picture shows of this city. The members of the committee are as follows: William T. Elsenlohr, Geo. L Knox, C. L Dietz, Bert McBride, and Hubert S. Riley. Mr. Bell said: "I have appointed you on this committee because of the great interest you take in the arts. The appointment is greatly esteemed by Mr. Knox. He is the only colored member of the committee which is a distinction aside from serving a committee of such a worthy object. It goes without saying that the colored people will be pleased at the mayor's determination to be their mayor as he is the mayor of the other people. Judging by the numerous anniversary celebrations held in honor of Frederick Douglass there is some Douglass spirit among us yet. Yet through it all we have not seen a single reference to the movement to preserve his home as a memorial. This is strange and bad in face of the effort. It will be no less than a travesty if we continue to utter fine words about who Mr. Douglass was, and about what he did if we balk when it comes to giving a few pennants to redeem his home. "For words butter no parsners," said Carlyle. We still insist that when proper steps are taken the fund will be quickly raised. The Freeman will gladly accept any amounts, sending the same to proper authorities at Washington. Credit will be given through this publication. The pennies, nickels and dimes will do it. Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, should profit by the example of Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, and perhaps he has, at least, to the extent of making his way to the United States Senate by the means of social prejudice and discrimination. Had there been no prejudice and discrimination there would have been no Tillmans and Vardamans. We mean that Vardaman should profit by the fate of Tillman, who lost that peculiar respect that attaches men such distinction. He lost caste, so to speak, because he insisted on making the lives of Negroes miserable. And some consolation is gained of Mr. Tillman's plight. It is clearly seen that "monkeying" with one man's freedom means "monkeying" with all men's freedom. He may not begrudge the price, but he has certainly paid it—and reaped political obloquy as politics is best understood. From all accounts the Mississippiian, too, has been relieved of his sting, and for the same reason—undue "monkeying" with the rights of men. What if they are "Niggers"? They are men for all that. WILLIAM SULZER SEEKS TO REGAIN THE GOVERNORSHIP William Sulzer of New York has begun legal proceedings to regain the governorship of that State. His first step was to make formal demand for his salary. An order was issued by the court, commanding Controller Solmer to appear and show cause why a writ of mandamus, compelling him to pay the former Governor his full salary as the occupant of that office, should not be issued. Mr. Sulzer previously had made a written demand on Mr. Solmer for his salary. When Attorney General Carmody notified Justice Chester that he would oppose the granting of the writ the court said he intended to refuse as a matter of law, holding that the court on impeachment already had passed on the contentions of Mr. Sulzer. This move was merely a preliminary, paving the way to the question at issue. Agreement was reached between the lawyers which facilitated matters leading up to the final question. Affidavits signed by Assemblymen Albert T. Gaynor, Democrat; George W. Jude, Progressive, and Clinton T. Horton, Republican, have been filed. Geyer swore that he had no advance notice that the impeachment resolution was to be presented. Jude and Horton swore that they had no notice of pending impeachment proceedings and that if they had been present they would have voted against the resolution. This will be a most interesting fight owing to the political importance of the State, the prominence of Mr. Sulzer, and the repudiation of Tammany at the recent election and finally the distainer into which Mr. Murphy fell. All of this make a fine opportunity for a play for general results by the ex-Governor. It is among the things possible for the country to witness just as spectacular a thing, that of restoring a governor, as it did when it witnessed the deposing of a governor. BRAVING THE COLD. An observer made his way to a playhouse last Monday afternoon. This rather perfunctory announcement is made because the weather was frightfully blizzardy and bitter cold. To have gone to the playhouse at some other time would have called for no comment or announcement. As it was he was there as much for business as for pleasure else he would not have been there. This, owing to the weather, of course, which was an excellent type of ideal winter. It was a day beautiful in ferocity, beautiful in action, just as one might think of a lion being beautiful in action. He is none the less ferocious because beautiful in action. It was a type of action. In fact, as his skiff have in many type days, the wagons woke only not cried, they screamed because of the snow. It snowed in all directions. The winds carried it up and criss-cross while gravitation brought it down. It was a ghost day—the world had on a shroud—so it appeared. In the theater were a few "choice" souls; they were worthy of a profound study. What would they be in the run of life? Would they be heroes or great rascals or great geniuses? Surely the ones that voluntarily braved that weather would not be the hundrum of society. The observer thought all of this and more. Then to follow the lives of each one right along, for years—the older ones for a few years—the younger ones for many years—a wait of "Twenty Years After," as Dumas had, and then what? Psychology puts forward the fact that the seed of disposition is sown in the individual at once. The plea today by a set, at least, is for the eugenic man, the individual who is born well, fashined in the mold, as it were, ere the too contaminating breath of the earth earthy had chance to exert its all powerful counter influence. What may be the result of this made-while-you-wait man remains to be seen. The laws of soul study have to do with individuals as we find them. Perhaps the "model" man may not be excluded—that remains to be seen. The observer thought of the brave who is born from their disposition; not made. The faces could not be so well observed, where is thought to be the indices of the soul. In fact the faces were not necessary to the study. They would have bewildered the observer owing to the variety. They were mostly young people, consequently their future was yet to develop. Would that girl over there be Not long ago a Madame Glenn, a Hawaiian soprano singer, was in Indianapolis. She was so different in her beautiful broken speech which was full of interest and meaning at all times. She seemed to have no moments for trifling. Her beautiful vehemence of speech was not lost in vain vaporings. She is a religionist—an enthusiastic one. No night is too dark for me to go, nor too terrible to go and serve the sick in body and mind. My mission is to serve, all else is behind me. This, and more, said this remarkable woman of various languages, who knows music as a master, a vocalist, a pianist and the rest of it. She has no regard for these at the call of duty. One would think of her as one of that order of women who went their way to the Army of the Red Cross like the wise meu guided by the star to where the shepherds watched their flocks, coming from all parts, pilgrimaged to the birthplace of the Christ. Perhaps they are not seen on every corner, such women, but here and there, now and then, so when there's the ensemble there is a goodly number. Under what star were these women born? Are they ordinary? Is it one side development? What has been made whole in the development? What has been sacrificed? Have those the making that braved last Monday's blizzard weather? Or is it those gentle, quiet, retreating souls who are bravest, as if in demonstration of that splendid proposition that the bravest are the tenderest? Does the law work backwards? It will not be discussed. It would impugn the spiritual chivalry of those who went to a place of amusement on that worst of days. What about that young man? Those young men? What will they do in life? Will they live up to their registration of today? That is, will they essay the difficult things of life? the great things? the hard things? Will they take their lives into their own hands, go down into the bowels of the earth to dig fuel? to excavate a summer. Will they hazard the sea and come home for trouble or fish? Will they build those tremendous towerlike buildings? Will they build a bridge? fly the air or what not? Will they be tender or merciless? Surely they will not be the under strata of society. They have demonstrated something and as every one who seeks the hard, unusual route to appease their appetite whatever it may be. When Abraham Lincoln was flying about in the woods with his few books it looked, doubtless, queer enough even as it has looked since that time in some localities. But the onlooker who could truthfully discern saw readily that unless he broke in his steady pace that he would come under the wire lengths and lengths ahead of all competitors. The country is full of the quietly determined who permit nothing except the impossible to impede them. This is the born disposition rather than the acquired. Some have failed in their high resolves. Some have chased the fleeting light—a chimera, or will o' the wisp. They erred in judgment, or In their premises. The courage was never wanting, a no less greater thing than the other qualities for success. Spirit is perhaps the greater endowment. Education and ability may be acquired, but the spirit and genius must be born. The observer thought of all this and summoned up the human possibility of genius, energy and qualification on hand of those at that playhouse on that blizzard day as they concerned the exertions individually and in total in the future world's affairs.

The special dances, the Tango, the Bossa Nova, the Johnny Peters, assisted by William Williams, Daisy Brown and Edna Moron were pretty, and were appreciated by the trap drummer, came in for an encore. NEW YORK M. T. B. A. STAGE NOTES. Billy Ward and "The Black Deckstader," who was seen with "Chlorindy" last week at the Lagadite Theater, New York, and who was open on the 200 circle again, his old standby. Miss Dora Dorn of Johnson and Dean, returned from Europe last week and is arranging to carry all other European engagement. Leon Williams, the affable promoter, will look after her interests while in the city regarding placing dance companies at Renaissance's last week, one of the most fashionable white resorts on Broadway. isn't it too bad we have no colored rater who could accommodate a large crowd in New York instead of being forced to give all that money at $3.50 a plate to white race. Great place, this New York. Will Judge Lily Kneup please call a reorganization of the Lime Kill Club and let's get together? Isn't it funny every time the Lafayette Theater gets run down they turn it over and back to the playhouse and pack it back to the doors and business picks up 190 per cent. Then after energetic colored men time, money and years of experience in the theatre, not mess, isn't it funny the white folks jump right in and take the theatre back back to the doors and cutting out our people? Isn't it funny? Sterling Rex of Gay and Rex, who was supposed to manage the Circle Theater at the decease of George Bundy in Philadelphia, was told by one of the choirs that business difficulties with the department was the cause. Some people don't really appreciate the value of a good man when they get one. Joe Bright of the Brooks-Smith Players is in town. The Nelson Trio and "Simmons," the protein artist, are playing Philadelphia at the Michael's Theatrical Booking Agency. Sergeys Old Plantation Show has been on rehearsal at the Red Cups' Club rooms for the last five weeks. So far they have got no further than the photograph gallery. From observation that's far enough. Sidney Brooks, Chicago's popular song writer, and Clarence Bowen, formerly of the Georgetown Camps, scored a grand hit at Hammersstein's last week. The Negro Players' Pullman car came to town last week in custody of the party in the yard, and the players in the yards at Clifton, N. J. The players—those who stuck to the ship to the last—are "on the road somewhere," even prowlers. Sanford McKessick of McKessick and Shadney came to town last week. Saw Murphy, of Murphy and Franks, and Bobby Kemp at Conners Wednesday night in deep conversation. I wonder if Murphy is trying to sell another dog, the one he wished for. Wheaton, the noted lawyer, was chief arbitrator. W. H. Ray's Creole Belles. The wheels of activity are humming mertily and with increased velocity at the Booking Agency, where W. H. Ray is getting his show together for the coming road season. The show is now booked for eighteen weeks over the Brotherhood route embraces through Connecticut and Ohio.

The Grand Theater. Lovers of vocal music were given a real treat in a singing show last Monday evening, which presented the talented oboe player, Antonio Lewis, who, although a little shy, sang with great confidence and new number. The white acts were Stilton & Allen, good vocalists; Belmont's Mannikins, entertaining mechanics; and Biltow of athletic marionette. "That Girl!" The last half of last season was the Baltimore colored team. Others on the bill were "The Four Roders," in muscular beauty and strength. Fred Clinton, a fine bassist, and the musicians, who danced; Berry & Wilhelm, an impersonator and a fair soubret, bill. The Friday night Tango drew big crowds. Manville & Ross were the vocalists of the Marie, Allen & Walsh and Schlaeple and Lorain were the other participants. The colored Tango introduced last Tuesday for a week later. They will have to be recorded a week later. The Monogram Theater. The return of Princess Sotanki in a new revision of her snake dance, in which she was spotted on a completely thrilled Maui Piper were good dancers and the comedian was good dancer on the comedian Stanford & Sandford to customers with nice personalities, made a good impression. The comedian, who has a great sense of some good jokes, and they will soon be Patrick and the Saxon Sisters, a white player played a return date at this house. The New Monogram The Kinsey Doo Trio. In street clothes, owing to the non-arrival of their trunks, made a hit in new and catchy songs. Cooper Nickels & Johnne's show, with the band Semoura, one a soubret and the other a female impersonator, completely captivated. Good & Jackson made their first show, and the comedian especially, La Belle Glenn, who was snowbound, was announced to appear on her arrival. Her place was taken by Buzzing Burleson, a comedian dancing establishes his ability. At the Picture Houses. The big States Theater keeps well up to the record in photo plays. Managers of all the Afro-American Company's releases of motion pictures acted by an entire colored cast of artists. At夏天's feature, the Lincoln had "The Day" feature. The Lincoln had "The Engine of Death." The Pekin had "Between Savage and Tiger." The Fountain had good attendance on Third-seventh street war. The Almoe seventh street war. The Manager Kaplan, of the Washington, offers "Broken Hearts" Saturday and "Katha Stage Notes and Stroll News Ax to the Burial of Billy Young. The Goal of the Wanderer. Somewhere the life of the wanderer has fled; Somewhere the disciple of charity's foe Has reached the goal which his course had led. To where the sound of the grinding is low. Somewhere success to the wanderer and come. The law of self-preservation to claim; But he was not wise to the total sum, And all that is left is merely a name. Talks Long On Things Theatrical- Sees Great Future for Colored Performer—Brilliant Plays to Be Produced. To. J. Lenbric Hill (Impressions from Elwood C. Knox Blamed if I didn't for a feller.

Prince of Good Fellows—A Real Mixer and a Shrewd Business Man. (By Henry F. Manns.) As for Hunter C. Haynes, he has been associated with many things. He back in his business in Chicago as a razor strop manufacturer in Chicago. His product was widely used both in America and Europe, and the conspicuous figures in the business world of the windy city. In 1909 he invaded New York, establishing at his Strop Company, manufacturing and introducing for the first time in the east his famous "Never Home" razor stropers, which he sold in the "stunt of chopping wood with a razor, and then stropping it and cutting a hair. In 1909 he sold his business barked into the brokerage and loan business, which he abandoned in 1910 and took up for a few months the motion picture business is the calling [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. HUNTER C. HAYNES. General Manager Afro-American Film Company of New York City. which engrossed him. So for the past year he has been busy on the job. The phenomenal success of the Afro-American film industry has the eyes of managers of colored houses who have been playing legitimate attractions when they could get them. The fact that he was colored have had a revelation as to the possibilities of the productions produced by the Afro-American Film Industry as a good business man. Mr. Haynes has carefully studied the market, and from the most unfavorable surroundings, he has found a place to work, and the almost insurmountable barriers standing between him and the business, he has made the decision to from a business standpoint, is far in the lead. His many friends throughout the country wish him continued LIGHTS AHEAD FROM "DARK TOWN_FOLLIES." (By Marsh.) A better portrayal of character sould not be given of Jasper Green that man is alone by Sam Guines, that is his sister, and stand out that everybody feels that they are well equipped with Green or that they have met him somewhere. Edna Morton made a happy Juliette Lee and she gets the hands for such equipped with brightness as a sweet litte “kiddie.” Adele Johnson, as Susie LEE, brought out the finer points of characterization. Miss Johnson makes a clever, winsome juvenile actress. Flossie Brown knows just what to do to make a pleasing figure in the characterization of Sophine Lee. She is a bright spot in the show. Daisy Brown, as Clemmarian Lee, is about mature and grown with little Emmaillen we have ever seen here. You’ve got to go a long route to beat a “Daisy” anyway. Mary Ray, as Clemmarian, is one of the fairest granddaughters we have put eyes upon. Mary doesn’t need a lamb to make good. Tiny Ray, as Jimmy Moon, catches them on a fly and makes home runs herself by being vivacious and pretty trays a character that all have known and cannot forget. It is one to ever manify and will go down in history as great. Will Brown, as Bill Simmons, is to be excepted as the cleverest bit of humanity on the colored stage doing unapproachable "straight man" lead. He interestingly original and clever in detail. Jennie Schepar, as Madam Langtree, does a fine bit of acting in polished order. Her costumes are taking. Evon Robinson, as Miss Lueinda Langtree, is a painstaking, delightful young artist of rare talents, who is convincing in all her stage business. Daisy Martin, as Miss Lillian Langtree, is a clever portrayal of the young society girl. C. Miss Martin possesses a beauty grace and a voice of purity and sweetness. She has maintained her past reputation as an artist of qualities. Her rendition of the songs "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love" is one of the features of the "Follies." Effie Holllman as a society news reporter can't be beat for looks. Anybody can hear her news and be happy to do so. Hamilton White is a caution as Old Man Brown. White is a performer of exceptional ability. Ethiel Williams is the best you can find anywhere for the Carrier Natalie Dahlmeier and the part she has fits her and she fits it. She is not too funny but funny enough for all. Katie Wayn, as Hannah Belmont Jackson, appears gowned in handsome attire, with no unpleasant figure and arming, seating, seeing how to acquit herself admirably. Johnny Peters, that one and only Johnny, with the nimbleness and vlacciness of a fairylike "Jim dandy", is astonishing as a dancer. He is an artist whom the gods would delight in. Eugene L. Parkinson of Mose Legis is commanding in his efforts as a lawyer of no mean ability. He showed unusual talent in doing a part that demonstrated knowledge of stage business and all its art. Theodore Pinkey, as Dr. Moore, makes a healthy laugh as well dashing young physician. We would like to put the many testimonials to the mind that we have received from young ladies of this city but the list is too long. Billy Moore always did make a good policeman, or anything of a fighting man, because he can get time to play with the bartenders. He does not drink! Lettle George, as Spike, makes a boss newsboy. If Spike would sell the Freeman, Spike would sell more black, really shines in his part. He has a good voice and can dance if necessary. Eddie also believes in being lived and making noteworthy appearances, and he has a good deal. Eddie that he has not had opportunity to show you. Eddie Stafford (announcement extraordinary), who plays Red Cap Sam to help it because Eddie is a boy from home, but just because he could always deliver the right package when it comes, he has not quick, lively, nimble and vigorous enough to do principals in any musical talent, stature, genius, etc. to play important comedy roles in musical comedy companies of all sorts, and more, he has done so creditably. Grace Taylor, as Lady Hansom, is as her character name implies. The matinee boys draw many a long breath and know how to like to know who could help it from the face "Graces" of beauty. Walter Thomas, as Cab Driver Smith, has the right sort of make-up for the stage, and he seems hanging about our train sheds. Thomas is long on singing in a good voice and getting about over the stage like a veteran. He arrs as the head waiter makes good all the way through. He looks and acts well his part, and, of course, comes out on top. Billy Butter as trap drummer is a man with a handling grip. He don't offer a drummer to get the hands that Butter does. He beats a drum to beat the band. James J. Vaughan, as musical director, should be praised to the highest for his efficiency as a master musician and to the charisma in so commendable a manner. METROPOLITAN THEATER, MEM PHIS. TENN. (By E. Klemon Anderson.) **Stovall and Stovall.** Beale avene patrolmen, responding to a riot call, found that the excitement was due to a throng of people fighting to gain control of the town, owing to the engagement of Stovall and Stovall. The team has played before, and as soon as the announcement of their return engagement was made, smiles of applause could be seen upon the faces of Mr. Stovall. His score is scoring heavily in her new songs and characters, while Mr. Stovall stops the show with his line of comedy. La Blanch Young. This dainty singing and dancing sou- bility is the kind of enduresences nightly with her classy line of dresses. Young's costumes are very elaborate and in- spired by the numbers that are seas- fully beautiful, readable Massengale and Croshy. In keeping with the high standard of this theater and the motto of the same "There Is Nothing Too Good for Our Hearts," the orchestra offers for the approval of the music lovers, Massague virtuosos, in an act that is beyond comparison. She views of the fact that it has created a sensation wherever seen and heard. They fully sustain their instrumentation and office-attraction wherever they appear. Metropolitan Orchestra Augmented. Our orchestra leader, Prof. McGill, is all smiles this week, having added two more instruments to the orchestra and trombone. Mr Earl Grunstaff, who closed recently with P. G. Lowery's Fashion Plate Minstrels, is now playful and lively, much to the delight of our patrons.

The bill is a good one from start to finish. Four acts and six reels of pictures. The bill is a picture the next on the bill is Baby. The next on the impersonator. This is little Same Lewis, son to son Towell the city auditor and to Walt. Walt little, Walt little until he removes his wig. Then the audience goes down, for he is cute and cheerful. Next on the bill is Mr. Burton, formerly of Burton and Watts. Mr. Burton is handsome, well dressed and can appear with his good sliding trombone and makes a finishing touch. Cute Charley gold horn, his toll dress suit, sweet and good looks make him a performer. Next on the bill is Miss Edna Barron, a nice wardrobe, sweet trace and beautiful race, which make her a nice single in the Olo pups like Miss Barron. Next on the bill the closing act, which well deserves the place that Manager Hogan Jordan, the male member of the team, is very good, for he is a comedian and can dance and makes the patrine think he can be a fair taker, and she dances and talks with her. The little five-year-old wonder, hits the stags she is the whoe act. She can talk, she can do backseat much better, her father, and her line of jokes is something out of the ordinary. In fact, she is the most girl of her age on the stage today. Then the bill closes with a mammoth pteronan, the greatest picture man made show business. The gets 'em all and lets nothing pass, running thirty-five reels a GIBSON'S NEW STANRARD THEA TER. PHILADELPHIA. It is something of a relief to note that the weeding out of the poorer type of acrobatic acts that have been performed in the past resulted in the survival of the futurist as represented this week in Wiley, Braxton and Carter in their acrobatic arts and grotesque dances. This is an unusual event, a crucial effort in most of the stunts, but the work is so well done that the utmost performers, none of whom are very light in weight and they present comparatively new feats. Mr. Braxton's performance on the stunt is one a must watch during this week unparalleled, and was one of the biggest hits ever seen in this city barring nobody but him. Another act calls for considerable effort is that of Johnson and Rogers, who do their act well and gain much applauding by Anita Hula and her Hula Hula girls were a feature of the bill. Miss Bushing has a voice of unusual sweetness. Professor Fred Simpson hit him in company. With Twenty Minutes in Hell he was turn far above the average. This excellent bill was rounded out by Ernest Smith in company. With Twenty Minutes in Hell he was turn far above the average. The attendance was good. Now is time for the performance to show their appreciation for Manfredson's great work, by keeping his theatre packed nightly. He gave us what he would before a theatre. The headliner this week is and company and his mule Patrick. JOHNNIE RIDDICK'S ROOMING HOUSE To All Performers and the Traveling Public in General: When in Desert or Rain, Be sure to class house.

"The Wrong Mr. President," has scored a tremendous artistic and financial success on route through Alabama, with the help of the talented playmaking to capacity crowds everywhere, while the show has been recognized with a number of awards, including a enjoyable evening. Supported with several other gentlemen prominent in business and society circles in Platakia, the company an enjoyable evening. Supported at one of Platakia's fine colored hotels, after which there was dancing until the show ended. A. G. Allen's Minstrels and "The Wrong Mr. President" played day and night in Orlando, Fla. Professor McCormack, who is the company welcomed aboard the Smart Set car. The companies enjoyed a pleasant reunion. Professor McCormack was the best as it is one of the finest we have heard this season. And our usual "turn-away" business at the Duval theater, Jacksonville, Fla. The Florida Times Union has this to say of the show: "That well known musical company, actors and singers called the Smart Set, appeared twice at the Duval theatre yesterday presenting Tutt Whitney's musical comedy company to be better than this year and offers an amusing entertainment well punctuated with Toby Moore musical features complemented with those offered by the best white road attractions. Whitney is the company who created the excellent, singer who made a hit was Blanche Thompson, who has a splendid soprano voice and knows how to sing. Mr. Frank Crowd is having success with the New Globe. The new theatre is very pretty and Mr. Crowd knows the beautiful entertainment his patrons desire and is always willing to pay for good attractions. Professor Michael, leader of the New Globe, is always willing to perform in Jacksonville. That he was able to play the difficult music creditably without a rehearsal stumps in performance in Jacksonville. Taylor and Taylor, popular vaudeville team, are doing well throughout the south. The death of their little dog robbed the act of an interesting encounter. Miss Goldie Chapelle, wife of Son Billy King and his excellent stock company are at the beautiful Star Academy, where he pleasing crowded houses nightly. Such well known and talented performers as Hattie McIntosh, Cordelia McClain, Grace McClain and Kelly Blue Mouse and Billy Henderson and others are included in the personnel of the company. Professor Henderson contributed much towards making the Billy King Stock oCompany one of the best in the country. Billy is not a playlistist but a producer. All his plays of which there are an unlimited number, and the source from which these have emanated seems to be the company. It is standard for himself and company on and off-stage and as a natural consequence, the company is in continual development, it is booked up until the later part of next October. For the first time in five years A Smart Set Company played Augusta, Grace, and two capacity audiences.

Tutt Whitney and several members of the company, Prof. Carl J. Worthington, a member of a European school of music, and instructor in the Augusta College, Dr. Johnson, Wm.

They add to the work, making for a well rounded group here singing "I Wonder. Will They Find a Place for a Little Black Gala time and words—with a bit of humor, owing to the situation. Her act shows that she is a performer and a producer object is to entertain, which she does. Miss Whitman has her little folks very pleasing bit of sunshine. She enters her work with spirit, and as if no unconscious person is brightly She is a little duseuse, rompish and full of fun. Julius Fowworth is a comedian right being able to say things right on the spot and always funny.

(By Billy Lewis.) The boxing lid is on in Springfield, Ohio. Curt Morris, 220 pounds, and Jess Willard, 225 pounds, are the two heaviest white piglets in America. SAN FRANCISCO—Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion, has signed to meet Ad Wolgast in a ten-round fight at Milwaukee. Marc Ware, with the terms Ritchie and Wolgast, will have the privilege of 40 per cent. of the receipts. A gift from the Rev. John E. Johnson of $30,000, the income of which is to be administered by the trustees of portmouth College to encourage general student participation in outdoor sports, was recently announced. John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell, the English heavyweight for the world, will be in the Square Garden, when the police stopped the bout—the second time in chantilly, France, when the mill was declared a draw. The annual attempt to legalize Sunday base ball in Baltimore has met deservedly, a report by a committee of the House of Delegates, and a motion to substitute the bill for the unfavorable report was voted down almost unanimously. A London cable of last week says Willie Lewis, American middleweight, defeated Eric Balkan, a top contender, and George Gunther, American negro, stopped Gaston Pigot, French heavyweight, in twelve rounds. It is said Promoter Vienne of Paris offered Lewis a fight, but Langford, but the French boxer wanted 175 ringside, which Langford refused to make. * By a considerable majority the German imperial parliament adopted an appropriation of $50,000 for the Olympic games to be held in Berlin in 1916. The budget committee on January 15, but the leaders of the clerical party gave their followers freedom of action in the matter and all but one member voted in favor of the appropriation. Rube Foster, the well known manager of the American Giants, of Chicago is equally as smart. After gathering fame he concluded to go into vaudeville as so many do who get their names up. Here is what is seen in print concern in the 1950s. In the movie "Rube Andrew Foster, the great colored ball player, Chicago, who opened his theatrical career in Cleveland, exhibited an exhibition game from the White Sox by a slide, ended by falling into the music pit and put the entire orchestra were not broken could not be played because the musicians who played them had to be carried out, as they laughed. They rolled on the floor and said they would freely pay for going out of the house, as they were well satisfied. Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, has an offer to go to Australia, but he prefers to remain in the middleweights. Jack can make 158 pounds four hours before a fight, and that is the best he can do. The lighter middleweights demand less weight than the heaviest, which cannot make it. The result is the Hoosier will take on a few heavy-weight players in the City, March 3, and Jack Lester in Denver, the middle of next month. Local burgers admire his mercy, but he is much speculation as to his chances. Dillon figures that a defeat would not mar his rep as a middleweight. Considerable talk has followed the announcement that C. I. Taylor, of the West Baden Spruce, has been selected by Indianapolis for the 1914. Taylor is known for his base ball generalship. This gives color to the belief that he will be doing great in coming up against C. I. Camping training will begin March 28th. Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco promoter, in speaking of what he considered the greatest fighter in every division of the game, had this to say "The greatest lightweight to my way way of looking at them was Joe Gans, course. I met him and Opps who coun- sell me 1960 and 1980 and who coun- sell me any lightweights of any time who could have beaten the peerless present lightweights with him. He likes Fitzsimmons, was ahead of his time. He is a very complimentary refer- ence and it comes from a white man who I presume does not care a rai- or Jack Johnson. There is such a thing as a way to get along with our "enemies." Says a writer. Of the 60 persons who see the annual football games, between the large college eleven in different sections of the country only a few are seen. The few who see the same was first played in their respective universities or colleges. The game of college football was graduated from the various institu- tions in 1863 and since that time has undergone many changes, until today it stands out as the foremost branch of athletic studies in American universities. Rutgers and Princeton were the first institutions to take up the game. The new stadium of the college of the City of New York, ground for which was recently broken, will have a cinder track, a mile straightway, a gridron and a diamond. It will be finished before the opening of the 1914 college year, and will cost $200,000. Outside of being the best card of $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

The prescription comes from a physician and we are convinced it is the surrecting combination for the cure of manhood and vigor failure ever put together. any heavyweight living. Carpenter has the distinction of having made the most successful man but jefries. If the boiler maker had not fought Johnson this Frenchman would today be the crowned man of the world, one record, that of making a history sum in less time than any other pugilist. Eighteen thousand dollars for a boiler maker are made every two seconds. How do you like that? Poor pay? Every time Carpenter steps in a ring he draws at least $5.50, and a side bet of $5,000 has made close to $200,000. George Carpenter becomes the best heavyweight attraction in the world. Georges won a guarantee of $13,000 and a side bet of $5,000 by repeating the sum if he boxes number Smith in London, a match that is now under way, and he can draw great houses, americana, in France, his country, his city, and is under a nine months' ban for meeting a dub who was billed under a w-liken fighter's name.

Corbett's Review Written in December.) The year 1913 was a rather dull period for lovers of things pugilistic. In looking at the records of those who engaged in ringing history we are impressed with the fact that the year just drawing to a close was not especially productive of the secession. Not a single championship title changed ownership during the year. It was a professional pugilism which for several years have known no recognized leaders—the welter and middleweight classes—produced men whose achieved endurance entitle them to such recognition. And it is a lean year in boxing divisions knows no change of champion. Jack Johnson is still the acknowledged world's champion heavyweight; his lower classes have no recognized leaders. His undisputed lightweight champion of the world, while Johnny Kibane and of the head of American feather and antum-weight divisions, respectively. Probably the most noteworthy, or I might better say noticeable, incident of the week was marked deterioration in the work of the three leading colored heavy-weight of the country namely Jack Lafayette, Sand Lafayette and Jeanette. The recent performances of these men—including the miserable showing of Jack Johnson and Lancer—of the world's latest both occurring in Paris last week—indicate that the day of colored sunday the heavyweight division is about over. However, there would be a greater prestige of the colored fighters were accompanied, or brought about, by an arpiecific advancement in the skill and experience of the white heavy-weight. In other words, we would much prefere to watch a white race through honorable victory in the ring than by the ravages of age and dissipation of the other fellows. Williams is regarded in the east, where he has cleaned up all opposition, and in the north, the country, and his grand record warrants his friends and supporters in predicting a great future for him. He has also campaigned to a vigorous campaign to compel Coulon to meet him for the title, provide course, he defeats Campi decisively. As both Williams and Campi are corking good business, he is assumed reign as cham- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER pion of the bantams does not look as cheerful as it might. A number of experts have predicted Johnny's defeat in the win with either. But Coulon has no big kick coming. He has had his big kick coming. He has had his big kick coming. He has had his big kick coming. However, that the champion will recover his form and be able to get into condition to put up a battle he would be little glory for either Williams or Campi in beating a sick boy. WHAT MAKES A GREAT PITCHER. Chief Bender Has the Dope—Control the Greatest Asset. What is the one greatest requisite of the star pitcher's position? It is the leading twirlers of the two big leagues last summer. A majority of them without the slight hesitation answered "Speed" and "course." Others favored a change of pace. Chifo Bender of the Athletics responded with offhand expressed the opinion that all the other twirlers finally agreed upon. "Control the star pitcher requisite," Chifo Bender wrote. "Written up you are like a ship without a rudder. No matter how much power you may have, you can win." Bender's reply to my question impressed me most forcibly. When other pitcherers came to the field, when they awaited curve, I would ask what they awaited if the pitcher lacked control. In every instance the pitcher agrees, the control was an best way, "of course," of course. He budder, in discussing the question further, "control is an acquired possession, as is the curve and the change of pace," and he budder, "therefore, is about the only part of the pitcher's makeup that cannot be developed." He budder, "avails nothing." Speed with control alone will make a great pitcher. I point to Walter Johnson as an example of this theory. For year-round success, he budder, his history of the American league, although speed was his only stock in trade. He knew little of the curve and even less of the curve. He budder, dowed Johnson with wonderful speed, and was equally generous as to control. For Johnson was as steady as a clock in his first game as a big leag Bender is Master Workman. Chief Bender to my mind is one of the greatest twirlers that ever graced the box. He is a master workman. He knows the rules of every weakness, and once a player shows him a weak spot he is marked for life by the crafty Indian. Umpires to appreciate the greatness of a pitcher than any other men connected with the game. I know of one batter in the American league as good as a foul Mack's star is on the rubber, yet against the average twirler he is regarded as good. A player in Bender has one great weakness. It seems practically impossible for him to hit a certain kind of ball. Seldom does Bender pitch better than that certain player so often that it is always a relief to see him approach the plate on a warm day. You are capable of things to be considerable air, disturbance. Ability to beat Washington and Washington's propensity for trimming the ball was a big factor in stones to the pennant for Mack's team. No matter how brilliantly Washington played against the other team, he still sailing. In this connection I recall a game Bender pitched against the National at Philadelphia last summer. He was up and soon saw that his speed seemed much greater than usual. The way he was warming up, it didn't seem possible any club to do much with his offspring. Made Flye Hits in One Inning. The first Washington batter to face Bender cracked one of his fast ones on the nose for a single. Although Bender missed, Washington found him for five hits. Some tough luck on the bases and a brilliant play in the infield kept Bender out. One run despite the bunch of hits, all of them being hard drives. It was a warm day and Bender had worked at to spike the ball. As the Nationals. As the lining ended he was dripping with perspiration. I was unimpiring the bases that Bender had worked at to closely watched Bender work. I realized I never saw him show more stuff, yet never saw him hit much harder, than he ended Bender turned to me and said. "Have I got anything on the ball, Bill?" "To me it looks as if you had a world of speed and as if you don't look that way to the Washington boys," I answer. "Guess they are having a batting outfit?" replied Chief with a smile. "I'll have them something diff'erent bailing." From the way Washington had pounded Bender in the opening innipit it didn't seem as tough as the route. With a break in luck Washington on five hits should have scored about five runs instead of one. Manager Mack was evidently dubious about Bender. He was the first to form the team he had two or three rescue twirling worm up ready to enter the fray. Few pitchers other than the veteran Bender would have been allowed by Mack to have finished that awful first Render Changed His Style Instead of coming back with the great speed he had served in the first inning Bender's fast one was of very little importance, but he provided contrast to his offerings in the first inning that it was hard to time. Incidentally he would slip up his slow pace and fall back to the pitch that the side was retired in order. During the rest of the game Bender pitched like a man with a sore arm, but he was still in summer Browns in the last eight innings. The Athletics easily overcame the one-run margin of the first inning and won out. In a game with the summer Browns in the Athletics gave fifteen bases on balls and won his game. It was a most unusual performance. Brown would generate a few outs, but were down, fill the bases and then be able to retire the side without any scoring. Later in the game, the pitchers promised Browns recruit, gave an even dozen bases on balls, hit a couple of men, yet won his game 10 to 9, because his teammates had another hand out three passes. Control Indian's Ace in the Hole. Bender insists that control has always been his one great asset. Ace understands the lack of control shown by a lot of the youngsters and says they have no one to blame but themselves. After one of the youngsters I instructed I have. Bender telling a few things to the Athletic recruits, "The trouble with you fellows," Bender says, "at time at batting practice and chasing d飞 balls, when you should be out there, pitching. There is usually an outfielder pitching and hitting pitches or taking batting practice." The Chief believes that any pitcher can acquire control if he has a defensive game. Control cannot be acquired in chasing files or batting, but must come from constant practice in pitching, not just to get each ball over the plate, not simply throwing it to the catcher at random, as some youngsters warm up. Bender practices what he preaches time each day pitching to his catcher. When he is warming up prior to starting a game he tries to make every attempt to conform to the rules governing a strike. Christy Mathewson is another great example of a comedian who can contend. Matty never forgets that he has eight other men behind him, ready and anxious to help him, the bitter, Pitchers like Ben- der and1 Mathewson use up just about half the energy of the average twirler, due to their ability to get the ball to spin. The most dazzling assortment of curves, the most deceptive change of pace, are of no use if the pitcher persists in believing that the home plate, instead of a stationary, is constantly swinging.

NEGRO CHIEF MAY FAIL IN GOLD COAST SCHEME. British Consul Fears Boat Load of Oklahoma Colored Men. Ready to Ship For Africa, Might Become Charges on Britain. NEW YORK, February 25 —The movements of Alfred Charles Sam, self-styled chief of a tribe of Negroes learned tonight, have been brought to the attention of the Federal and state authorities here by the British consul general. Sam recently purchased the ship Curtia, which now lies in port here with forty Oklahoma Negroes aboard, who have been waiting for the vessel to arrive, where, according to Sam's promise to them, they would start a colony of their own—a colony where wealth and equal opportunities would abound on the island. Might Become Charges In communication with the authorities here the consul general pointed out the advisability of preventing the colonization between the country where, he declared, there was no available land for the purpose, and the colonization would come charges on the British authorities. He was informed, however, he said, that unless a complaint was made by some one connected with the scheme of colonization, he would not authorize the. He himself did not feel authorized to make a formal complaint beyond conveying to the authorities the results of investigations he had made. It was said that Sam had interested between 600 and 700 Negroes throughout country in the colonization scheme. (Let us be careful in handling such schemes.—Ed.)
