NAPIER W A New Colored Bank May be by Some of the We THE SMITH-LEVER BILL Two Rich Treats in Store for Music Lov- gations Worship in New Homes for delier Club, Composed of Attaches To Launch Colored Department Store (Bureau of the Freeman, Washington D. 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. shortly after Mr. Napier's return to his home, the enterprising colored citizens "got together" and organized a Board of Trade, to "boost" the commercial interests of the race. Mr. Napier was paid the high compliment of being elected president of the Board by a unanimous vote. He pulled off his coat and went to work to make it a power in the community, with the result that every Negro of standing in Nashville is connected in some way with the body and its influence is such that the race can secure through it any reasonable consideration at the hands of the City Council or any of the administrators of the affairs of the local government. Mr. Napier promptly "cut out" all "parliamentary" lummery and useless time-wasting points of order and marked out a program of concrete endeavor to be followed by the members at each meeting. Now, problems of school improvement, sanitary housing, home buying, business development, public order, library facilities, and increased opportunities for the employment of the race, are the topics to which the members address themselves and bend their energies toward their speedy solution. A New Colored Bank for Washington Maybe. the rapidly developing business district of a street, between 7th and 14th streets. The apartment with favor as the best location on campus operated by and for colored people. the Smith-Lever Bill as Passed by Senate. the Smith-Lever bill, providing for increased extension work in the states passed the Senate upon June 32 to 23. 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. The funds, can be provided for distribution among the states on a basis of rural population, conditioned on each state appropriating some sum of portions. After years the bill would provide a permanent appropriation of $4,800,000 annually. Rich Treats for Music Lovers.

Last Sunday two Baptist congregations worshiped for the first time in the church, which a few weeks ago purchased the Central Presbyterian church, at Third and I streets, took possession of their property and en- titled the splendid pastor, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, who came here on Christmas last District a number of significant things about the business side of spiritual life. He also commented upon the public eye since last March, as it is the one chosen by him as the regi- cal church some days the pew usually occupied by the presidential group was filled by men and women who had commented upon by the daily papers, which sent special reporters to the spot to witness the novel spectacle, and to be directed by a new church edifice in a fashionable quarter of the Northwest, last Sunday. The Mr. Carnellites last $2,000,000 for the Central's property—a comparatively new structure which cost about $60,000 a few years ago. The second church of the race to be made happy last Sunday was the McKinley Lankins Church of Baptists, who acquired the building at 4th and L streets, just vacated by Rev. S. Gerian Lankins, formerly of the 10th Street Baptist church, and who is also presidee of the church, and that will be at Tuxedo, Md. Dr. Lankins will see to it that the McKinley Temple is heard from the doctor in the religious life of the District. OF THE DISTRICT. The Chandelier Club in the Limelight. The Chandelier Club, composed of attaches of the White House, gave one of the prettiest balls of the season Wednesday evening at Odd Fellows' Hall. The promenades of this unique organization have become notable annual events, and this year, in the政治 and social areas, has become a role of the ladies' toilettes and in the elegance of the appointments. The club reached its high-water mark. Over 1,000 persons were present, and the line of automobiles extended far down M street while the guests enjoyed themselves tripping in the water. The club's management in modern styles, Business factors, professional men, educators and representatives of all the activities of the colored race in the capital joined the White House corps in making the well-being of the people. At the ends of the elegant dining table were bouquets of American Beauty roses, one of the gifts of President Woodrow Wilson, the other presented by Mrs. Wilson. Charming music was discoursed by the famous Marine Band, led by Lieut. W. H. Santelmann. The officers of the Chandelier Club are: Lieut.-Colonel Arthur Brooks, president; Charles B. Lee, vice-president; James Coates, treasurer; Allen L. Deans, secretary. The committee on arrangements included Charles B. Lee, chairman; J. E. Boardley, W. W.

Mrs. Julia Mason Layton has been re-elected president of the People's Association, and is shortly to launch a colored department store at a convenient point on the campus. The stock is $5,000. When $5,000 is raised among the colored people, a captain may be required to provide for the opening of the store. Mrs. Layton is laboring to get the store ready and the thing is done. James I. Neill is secretary of the company and Sheilah Neill is board of directors. The office is in the Dietz Build, 7th and F streets. Senator Sherman Eulogizes Lincoln to Mu-So-Lits. Friday evening, the 13th, the Mu-So-Lit Club observed in fitting style the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, the first president occasion was "hadies' night," and in the brilliant audience which filled the auditorium of the city, the men made up of the fair sex. The gentlemen wore "full dress," and a dainty luncheon was served. Senator Lawrence, the Sherman, of Illinois, the general manager personally, eulogized "Abraham Lincoln," and brought forth many new and unpublished facts about the eminent statesman who presided over the Civil War. Prof. C. G. Woodson, of the M Street High School, spoke eloquently of the life and sacrilege of Abraham Lincoln, the furnished patriotic music. Mr. G. Smith Wormley presided and introduced the distinguished speakers. Miss Mattle R. Bowen Passes Away Miss Mattie R. Bowen, for forty years a teacher in the Washington public schools, is dead, after a long and painful illness. More than 3,000 persons attended her funeral Sunday at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, of which she had long been a member and active worker. Dr. I. N. Ross paid an earnest tribute to the memory of the useful woman whom God had called. Dr. I. N. Ross, of the Prebend, of Major J. E. Walker, supervising principal of the division in which Miss Bowen taught, told of the excellent work accomplished by the deceased. Several telegrams and letters from various sections of the country were read, among them a message from the A. M. E. Bishops' Council in session at Atlanta, Ga., and a telegram from Bishop L. J. Coppln, of the diocese of Washington. The choir of the Metropolitan church, led by President L. M. Beckett, rendered musical selections appropriate to the solemn occasion. Miss Bowen was the founder of the Sojourner Truth Home for Aged Colored Women, was active in the redemption of the slums, was a pioneer teacher in the night schools of the city, working without a salary, and was treasurer of the Bethel Literary Society throughout its career of over thirty years. "Lawyers' Night" at Bethel Literary Society. W. Justin Carter, Esquire, of the bar of Harrisburgh, Pa., was the principal speaker Tuesday evening—'Lawyers' Night'—at the Metropolitan A. M.

Neill, Jabez Lee, Prof. G. W. Cook, of Howard University. Rev. W. C. Brown, of John Wesley Zion church, and others. Mr. S. M. Dudley presided. The audience was large and representative. Lawyer Carter is an alumnus of Howard University. NUGGETS OF NEWS. The S. H. Dudley Theater on U Street is enjoying the most prosperous period of the year, with the management of Lew W. Henry. A box party, made up of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, Miss Maude Ethel Brown, Dr. Robert H. Dale, die. of New Albany, Ind., attended the Saturday night's performance of the Old Man's Boy, at the Majestic, as the personal guests of Mr. Alex Rogers. . . . Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the District's Municipal Court, spoke on "Lincoln as an Orator" at Morgan College, at the same time, and the session being the school's celebration of the birthday of the great emancipator, Judge Terrell was the dinner guest of Councilman Harry S. Cummings while in the Monumental *City. The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger issues a clarion call for the presence of the national organizer of the National Negro Business League. The National Negro Business League, which is held by the city, said to be dead and a revival is wanted. In many communities smaller than Baltimore, the progressive citizens are reorganizing themselves, without outside help. Let Cummings, Hawkins, Chisum and Pratt busy. An effort is being made to revive national interest in the payment of the mortgage resting on the old home. Dodson has been a member of the American Association for reasons that have been alred from time to time, the colored people of the District are apathetic in the matter, and the race-loving Negroes of the States have little interest in the inside of the light is wanted by many phases of the movement by the country at large. The Kenyon law is in force and the "red-light distrust" is too more. In all the discussions as to what should be done to assist the fallen women to secure honest employment and to lead better lives, no public mention was made of the unfortunate colored denials. The American Association for a vision made for their relief, or will there be any steps taken to help them toward reformation? The Washington Business League under the energetic leadership of Mr. Daniel Freeman, the race's pioneer photographer of the capital, is to begin a lively campaign early in the spring, with "commercial development" as its slogan. Public meetings will be held in the churches all over the city, with a view of arousing the Negroes everywhere to the vital importance of patronizing the business institutions conducted by their own race. President Freeman says: "It is a shame, for instance, to see capable colored restaurateurs forced out of business year by year, and to notice the crowds of colored people pouring into the cheap cook-shops run by Italians and Greeks, who care nothing for them and who will 'cut them out' as soon as they have made money enough to build up a decent place for white trade. If colored people would make openings for their sons and daughters in the commercial world, they must spend their money with colored brethren who are trying to conduct restaurants, bakeries, shoe stores, millinery parlors, dressmaking establishments, dry goods stores and what not. The local Business League will have much to say to the colored citizens of Washington when its campaign gets under full swing next month. President Freeman is the "right man in the right place," and Dr. Washington and Secretary Scott have frequent interactions with the proval of the activity and broad-gauged methods shown by the organization here. Some big plans will be announced in the near future. During his recent visit, Mr. Emmett J. Scott conferred at length with President Freeman at the 15th Anniversary J. P. H. Coleman and other officials of the local Negro Business Association, in the capacity of the capable minister which they are pushing the work along. Washington will be in evidence at the 15th annual session of the National Negro Business League. --- The Washington public schools are in splendid condition and there is peace and prosperity in the city—a liner in an out-of-town paper to discredit the school management by the circulation of irrepentious "machine" they deserved to fall. Supt. Thurston, Assistant Supt. Bruce, the Board of Education and the teaching corps are running at full tilt, with a clear road ahead. The students of the law department of Howard University have organized the Tau Delta Sigma, and have taken a northwest, where they are at home to their friends.

Fremantle Bureau, 3000 South Stat St., Phone, Doug Jougat, 8058, 612-252-2522 Chicago, Ill., February 24. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the noted phyllanthropist has given $500.00 to Provident Hospital toward its yearly effect, providing a like sum is raised. It is now up to the colored citizens of Chicago to see that this offer will not be forfeited. Mr. Alfred Anderson manager of Provident Hospital, is malling out a number of cards, urging that the citizens rally to the support of the institution for the following reasons: "It represents you in a most worthy work; it has given nurse training to more than one hundred and fifty colored women; its free dispensary has cared for thousands of the poor, suffering and afflicted of every race; its fresh air tent, children's ward and milk laboratory has restored scores of babies to health; its doors are never closed to deserving charity; it's a race enterprise depending for success upon the support you give it." Now is the time for the colored people of Chicago to show their race loyalty in helping to maintain without embarrassment one of the grandest institutions in the country. Pride of State. 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. For the past several years he has been in the second Ward. With the primary law in effect, colored men felt it their duty to nominate a man of color to the councilman in report of the ward organization is seeking to nominate a white man by the name of Mr. Cowan, who is a city or county offices said they were going to make a fight for a councilman in report of the Madden, the congressman and George Hardin, an alderman with Oscar Dr. Priest, Major R.

In the next issue of the Freeman we will sum up the battles that Mr. Cowan and we can at least say things look very bright for Mr. Cowan and a new and brighter day for the Mr. Cowan and we can at least say the "bosses." nominate rather than the "bosses." Rage Panery Widely Reed Probably in no other city in the country are race papers more widely read than in the city of Chicago.

The following correspondence passed between an elector of the municipality of Glasgow, regarding the employment of a colored clerk on election day for one of the polling stations. Says the publisher, which appears. The correspondence also a somewhat curious point. It was: $Card Drive, Partick. $Sl—On recording my vote on the 4th election of the School, I observed that one of the polling clerks there was a coloured individual. This will be glad to know whether it is customary in Glasgow to employ polling clerks of this description; also whether a continuance of the practice may be expected in the district of Partick.--Yours truly. J. E. BURT. To that, Mr. Lindsay replies—I have your letter of yesterday's address, real must that I am amased at your writing as you do. Let me say, however, that the custom in this city in employing polling clerks, be that of selecting men best qualified for discharging the duties of that office. Mr. Burt's next letter is more de- I am in receipt of yours of 9th in stant (he says), which I regret does not give the desired information. I am rather at a loss to understand why my letter should have amazed you; certainly nothing could have exceeded my amazement upon making the discovery which prompted me to write you. I venture to suggest that a similar appointment would not have been made in any other town in Britain, nor, indeed, any other country in Europe. I note the custom has been, and will continue to be, to select the men best qualified for the duties of polling clerk. The fact of a coloured man having been selected as one of those thus qualified casts a somewhat unflattering reflection upon the capabilities of the citizens of Glasgow. It would be interesting to know the process of selection by means of which the qualifications of the clerk referred to were ascertained. Last there are any misapprehension, I may say that neither nor any one in whom I had the remotest interest, was a candidate for the post of polling clerk. Mr. Lindsay's reply is that as, in his opinion, the subject matter is unworthy of discussion, he declines to refer to his subject, beyond referring to his last letter. "As I take an entirely different view," M. Burt rejoins, "which I may state is shared by quite a number of people." Mr. Lindsay agrees the matter further in another quarter." LEE L, BROWN VISITS FRANK FORT. KY. Tells of Race Business Interestse- Geo. H. Reid Graduates as M. D. Cone Club's Annual Dance Cane Club's Annual Dance. Last week the Cane Club entertained at Odd Fellow's Hall. The affair was indeed unique and will be long remembered by all who were fortunate enough to get an invitation. In spite of the bitter cold weather which prevailed in the crowns of young folks gathered. The decorations attracted the attention of all present, the beautiful white columns with white electric globes, the festions that hung all around the hall, the beautiful colored lights shedding beautiful rays of light over the guests gathered mingled with the sweet strains of music played by the well known orchestral of Wickling help to make the young folks feel happy. They tripped the light fantastic toe until a late hour. A number of new and artistic dances were introduced by the members of the club. After the affair closed President Chas. Pennabaker and his associates received many words of congratulations upon his class entertainment they had given free from roughness that usually characterize some affairs that are given. Carriages, toxicabs and electrics waited the guests. A. Trip to Frankfort, Ky. Mr. Lee L. Brown, of the Louisville News, visited Frankfort, Ky., last week. He has the following to say about his visit: He is the founder of Little Capital City enroute from Lexington to Louisville. I made a special visit to Frankfort Normal Industrial School and met and talked with President G. P. Russell. He reports a larger attendance this year and says that the outgoing president that he is well pleased with the work being accomplished by the students in his department. "We were told to meet the student body gathered in Sunday school, Prof. J. L. Lawson, director in Manhasset School. We found that Louisville was well represented as well as nearly every county in the beautiful buildings adjacent to the campus. We noticed Ladies' Hall, which will accommodate 150 young students, and electric lighted and has all other modern conveniences. Hume Hall or the Administration Building, built on the grounds of the school, the office and auditorium are located here. Trades Building contains 100 students, equipment. Among the teachers we met Prof. E. E. Reed, Dean and Professor of Mathematics; Mr. Geo W. Hayes, Instructor in Prining. "The buildings that we had an opportunity of visiting were clean and well behaved. In spite of the rigid examination by the Probe Committee we came to the school to test the test. We did not get to see the Jersey cows made famous by the Probe President. We understood from President Russell that furnish the best and purest milk in the country. The mand is greater than the supply. Last year when Dr. Coblin, city health officer, made a special test of the many cows in the school, theimal School dairy stood the test above all the rest. He found that the product was $80,000. At another time we hope to make a special visit to this school at which time we give a descriptive department." "We also visited the People's Drug Store, which is well equipped with equipment by all of the colored physicians in the city. It is located in the center of the same building and the same building are located the offices of Dr. L. R. Diggs, grand attorney of Kentucky Pythians, and promoter of the wood, supreme keeper of, records and seals of Pythians; Dr. Rosby and the headquartered correspondent; also office of the Standard Insurance Company. We spent a few moments in the office of the Standard Insurance Company, and we are shipping clerk of W. A. Gimes Whiskey Company, also grand keeper of records and seals for State of Kentucky. He has a well equipped office. The Alpha-Lambda Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity installed their new officers on Wednesday evening and was served after the installation. President C. C. Johnson and Secretary G. H. Reid, along with other officers, were present. The administration worth while — Last week young Albert Desper, well known in this city died and was buried in the church. The Club are to be congratulated for the action they took in his funeral. The members of the Club made themselves known in the town and each one turned out to pay their last tribute to their friend and fellow member. Flowers were in abun- dance. Flowers from the graduate from Medical Department of McFarland Medical College, and Horace Morris, a recent graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C. have opened their offices over people's Drug Store, at 12th and Chestnut sts. Both young Morris and his brother in their profession. Dr. Reid, who has been practicing for quite a number of months, has already built up a large office. He has the greatest confidence in his ability as a physician. Doctor Morris gained his first reputation when called here some months later. He had bedside of his brother, after the waits physicians had given him up and his friends were expecting at any moment the announcement of his death. Dr. Murray able to cure his treatment was able to cure his brother. Attorney Isaac E. Black, well known for his residence on West Magazine St. Mr. Black has been ill since Christmas eve.

Augmentations made that made a flying trip to Bay St. Louis, Miss, last week to visit relatives and friends. THE GREAT ODD FELLOWS BUILDING. Dr. Booker T. Washington Not Finan cially aware of the Structure is to Admire it. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Feb. 22—I have no financial interest whatsoever in the Colored Odd Fellows' building at the AMC of the colored race, and as a citizen I want to urge that every colored man who passes through Atlanta, or can live in a city, should embrace the opportunity of visiting the Colored Odd Fellows' building, which has been erected under the direction of the AMC. I have seen what our people are doing in every part of the United States, but in all my experience, I have never seen any character of the Colored Odd Fellows' building built and owned by Negroes, that compares in any way to it. I believe that a building can do it justice; one has to see the building at first hand in order to appreciate its magnificent proportions and well-planned rooms of various kinds. I have seen that the degree of cleanliness, order and system which characterizes everything in connection with the building, inside To see the splendid auditorium which is now in process of completion, I feel that those who are inclined to have doubts as to the future of our race, or lack faith in the constructive spirit of our country, Colored Odd Fellows build at Atlanta, Ga. In my opinion, it is the greatest demonstration of the efficiency of the Negro in business direction of this country, or in any other country. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. AURORA. ILL.

After leaving Wagoner, I traveled to Taft, an exclusively colored town of ten gins, several stores, handling everything desired by the citizens, a hotel some substantial residences gives Taft the appearance of prosperity. The town also boasts of a colored station agent, and telegraph operator. This also is largely a farming community, and owns everything in and around the town Sarai Hector, the little Negro girl of fabulous wealth, attends the public schools here, she residing with her husband, squale Jones, the colored justice of the peace, is president of the local Negro Business League here, and is squale Jones, the colored justice of the peace, is president of the local Negro Business League here, and is doing much to force Taft to the front. The citizens of this town, the Negroes are eagerly looking forward to meeting National Negro Business League at Muskogee, but contemplate chartering a special train to bring the officers of Taft to show the constructive work being done here by Negroes. Really, when one gets out among these Oklahoma Negroes, and observes what they are doing and are doing, he finds one progress. ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND FREDER ICK DOWDEN MEMORIAL SERVICES (Noran D. Glatter.) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 20—Two thousand people of the race filled the Sunday, celebrating with the Birmingham Civic and Educational League the anniversaries of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and the birth of Theodore Roosevelt. The primary address was delivered Rev. T. J. Moppins, who spent but little time in discussing the achievements of Lincoln and the read practical lessons to the people of Negro race to be gained by and from their lives. He gave forth of Lincoln was providential," said Dr. Moppins, "then far more providential was the coming forth of Frederick Douglass. In the Douglass, it seems that God hastened the development of a providential race. Douglass, by conquering difficulties, struck from the mind of those that hingering doubt that they were men. "I would have my race take courage from the history already made. If the providential is that I have providential is the present and will be the future. God has been at work, fashioning a great, free, liberty-loving people. He has that people today. 10 God ever made use of a people to win the victories of truth and righteousness, making use of the colored race today. "Guided by the spirit of Lincoln and Douglass, as a race, we have fought many a battle. We have won victories and still, there are many problems yet unsedged. With our constant industrial giants, but moral cowards, I am not certain, but it seems more apparent that the substitution of doing for being as the standard of fitness for life is the only one of the necessary solutions of the company and the confronting the race is keeping upon us a condition that is almost intolerable." "I would warn you here and now against the philosophy of materialism which lifts the emphasis from being placed it upon, dolors. He is the best citizen, who is best a man. You may own homes, land, acquire wealth, yet you will never be accorded a man's place until you are a man. Perhaps in no section of the country will you find such striking evidence of the possibilities of progress of the race as in the southland, and yet in no section of this broad land will you find so violent an opposition, a more studied effort to humiliate the Negro as in the second part of the moral condidance of our leaders has been and is now the strongest ally of that inquiதுous, unnormal, indes cribable race prejudice which sends such men as Tillman, Vardaman and others of like type to the great clergy of the Government." The exercises were held under the auspices of the Civic and Educational League, of which Oscar T. Adams is chairman. T. Adams, the executive committee presided over the exercises. Short addresses, including one of welcome and the response and the introduction of the speaker and the audience, were given by William P. Saunders and Attorney P. J. Clyde Randall.

Johnson, a venerable couple of this city on Thursday night celebrated a few fiftied annals of the four living wedding, surrounded by the four living children, and receiving the congratulations of a large number of people from all portions of the state. The history of the Johnsons, perhaps commonplace to some, is wrapped in a mantle of peculiar interest when considered by Negroes. Their courtship and marriage occurred before emancipation, and they are related to many of the individuals that have withheld their notice in those days and the davs immediately following the Civil war. The husband, who is 72 years of age, is yet alert and vigorous and is said to be able to write the news of the event in insurance, as many a younger man. To the couple seven children were born, four of whom are yet living. They are C. First, F. D., and F. H. Johnson, and married the son of Mrs. Mrs. E. Butler. The eldest, Dr. C. First, Johnson, is one of the real, constructive leaders of the Negro race, and has built up in his life-time a great business, the Union Mutual Aid Association, which is one of the largest Negro insurance concerns in the north. Mrs. Johnson is 66. Both Mr. Johnson and his wife declare that they struggle to meet the demands of their marriage life that their first child should have the advantages of an education, and his work since mankind has just begun their labor. Mrs. Johnson was sent to the employees of the Union Mutual Aid Association, through Edward E. McCormick, presiding officer, hands-on, hands-on, hands-on, gold. Mr. Johnson attempted to express himself, but broke down. "I was so tired, I was so tired, while the tears ran down his cheeks, and I feel that God has blessed me and my wife. I hope the young people in our community are as easy to do good and be contented as it is to be otherwise." A large number of people from all the communities present at the celebration and practically every district manager of the Union Mutual Aid Association was present. On account of the black sent presents to the venerable couple. The home office force, from Mobile, sent ten dollars in gold. On account of the ceremony was omitted. GULFPORT, MISS.

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 THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLOED NEWSPAPER a saint or devil? Yet she came in no questionable shape. But she braved that blue cold day for a little amusement. Will she put aside her husands as readily and as willingly as Lucrezia Borgia did? Is the iron in her soul? Born there? Why did she come out on such a day? Her disposition must have been strong to will, to do. One would scarcely picture her of the treadmill order. One would think her capable of leading a suffragette movement—capability in embryo if not at present a realization. the public to aid us in making this fair a success of the counties of smaller population than ours, he has doing successful fairs each year.

Start in time to complete your article as very intensive, pre-day will be given for different articles. The third Monday in each month will be the regular 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.

It seems nothing for them exists but to get in, and while it was less than an hour each show, it seemed countless ages to the multitude to the passed before they get in. The great attraction was "The Second Adventures of Kathryn" and her unwelcome thrown. The vaudeville, Taylor and Turner, stopped the show, being the best team ever seen here, barring none. Their closing number, the Tango, was rich. Mrs. Thompson, the little box-office lady, looking like a million dollar doll, bless her little heart, could not see the show for the crowds. John H. Hall, 942 T. Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. MINOR AND MCGEE'S COMEDY CO. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Minor & McGee's Comedy Company opened here to a large and very appreciative audience in beautiful ensemble, written and staged by Coleman L.

The feature vaudeville acts are Freeman & Freeman, the Tyler Trio, Garland McGee, the Tyler Trio, Garland McGee staged a very funny little act.

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 Joe Simms has disbanded "The Four Strollers" owing to dissession with a female member, caused by her lover.

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.

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. Blamed if I didn't for a feller. Perhaps that there is not living a more important figure in the world of basketball, the artist is concerned than J. Leubrie Hill, who is starring this season in the "Dunk-town" League of the Cup. Compared to "My Kupa From Kentucky" at the Lycée Theater of this city this week, with common friends George W. Walker, Bob Cole, Ernest Hogan. Tom Logan J. ED Green and others of the UK, who knew the show business in all its branches, I doubt not if there lives a man who has a good life, and I am a man who has a great life, the theatrical business better than J. Leurbie Hill. So when he called at the Freeman office yesterday, he thought he was a good time to visit the show. But when I was in view of the man who we believed to be the most fit for giving expe- I think I would be so so-called stage world. The man who refused to let the colored road show be a thing of the past, said down with- I think he said this was the first Elwood C. Knox, and began talking in a happy vein. He said it have had many years of experience. I have the show I think I have had a good time to be covered every line of it in all of its traits. I feel certain that I am able to say that there is no need to be that kind of thing that I do not understand thoroughly and yet I come across some new problem each season. The show business is a standstill and I really find that it is due to their own behavior. In the past there has been little effort to do it to provide an orpias of originality and of a meritorious nature in order to keep up the high standard of the installment. The new show has a higher performance, E.J. Green and S.H. Dudley. Just now there seems to be a great interest in the show. I am a awakening. We are going to have many good plays and better artists and companies to produce them with the best business disposition. We have got to select artists for their ability and not their names to present these plays. If you are a man who has been the only one of them are clean, musical and entertaining. The performer who is going to be the best play in the show has not to be putust a clean in habits, appreciative, original and progressive. I think the "Darktown Follies" over the country has been the first of the world quite an arduous struggle. In one sense, and in another it has been a pleasure. The struggle has been in the most booming way. It has been in pleasing and greeting large audiences at every engagement with the show. It has been a great show and there has always been. The public is aware of the fact that the Negro and black women are�erred at the present. It is more likely to lose some time in crowding the play-house that bills the right sort of colored players. Only a short while is the same thing which is also a problem. It has been a glimmering. Eastern thecalitans suggests that they will not be so determined that they shall not be buried. You shall see a revival of the colored show. I think I have a shadow of a shadow of the past so far as re-fined vaudeville, the clever musical companies, dramas, etc. go if they are an upfront, original and entertaining. Mr. Hill might have continued but the interruption, with Glenn's help, made the musical comedie the "Follies," and Johnnie Peters, who is a sensation here doing a repertoire of his own, will probably go, the tommy bug and the Texas Tommy dances. They came in to pay the bill, and he colored the theoretical journal in America and so the conversation drifted from one thing to another until Mr. Glenn announced it was time to "go out" because he beat THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE. 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 Julius Glenn, as Jim Jackson, does as he has always done, puts them over in great style. But we believe Jim could run faster than he does if a real cop was after him. Too much chile and sauer kraut. J. Leubrie Hill, as Mandy Lee, por 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. Mr Sam Baker, saxophone solos, is responding to many encores nightly, rendering many heavy numbers written by the old L. DON BRADFORD IN ATLANTA . GEORGIA.

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 THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chapelle, a well known showman, joined the company in Jacksonville, taking the place of Miss Blanche. How was Miss Chapelle has a beautiful soprano voice and is a valuable acquisition to the company. Mr. and Mrs. Chapelle dined with the Whitney Bros. aboard the car. It was a veritable love feast. Evelyn and Luke Scott, well known vaudeville, entertainers, are making a one-time number of entertaining sketches and can play for an indefinite period of any house. They are good singers and above the ordinary in histrone ability. They stand for all that is highest and best in their profession, and merit the success they are enjoy- Kate Price, Mr. Otto Bradley, our second end-man hits the turkey night-ly.

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.

He bids fair to stand up among the good ones of the business, dancing in bright little fellow who takes care of his end of the business in a nice way. They are attraction on any bill.

(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. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakness, failure of memory and an inability to brow, break out of a drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many worn and nervous men right now, so that we think every man who wishes to regain his manly health and ability should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription or charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write it for us. 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. We think we owe it to our fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and dis- couraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what we believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop us a line like this: Interstate Remedy Co., 3831 Goodyear Building, Detroit, Mich., and we will send you a copy of this splendid receipt in a plain, ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a pre- scription like this—but we send it en 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. He cannot appear in a ring until the bars are lifted.

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. Mike Glover may round into a real classy man with proper handling and coaching. At any rate he is not attempting to sail under false colors, and his recent splendid record entitles him to respectful consideration as one of the foremost candidates for the long vacated title of welterweight champion. Coming down to the lightweights, it must be admitted that at last we have a champion who stacks up as the best boy who has graced that position in some years. Willie Ritchie has fought only twice since defeating Ad Wolgast for the championship, but in both instances proved himself a worthy holder of the honors. His knockout of Joe Rivers and decision on points over Leach Croft unquestionably two of his most dangerous competitors for lightweight honors, were notable achievements. Ritchie is the classiest champion the division has known since the days of Joe Gans, and the close of 1914 should find him perched safely at the top. In the featherweight class Johnny Kilbane looks to be all alone. He Johnny Dundee not outgrown the division he might have given the champion a hard battle to retain the premiership, but with him out of the way there doesn't appear to be a boy in sight who can give Kilbane an error of mention, worth a speaking of. Johnny was classed at the rest of the 122-rounders as far as Abe Attell did when that great fighter was at his best. Johnny Coulon has not fought in about a year. The bantam champion has been on the sick list a long while, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to come back and successfully defend the title he has held so many years. At the present time he is matched to box some western boy, of whom little is known in these parts, and his showing in that match will determine his plans for the future. Kid Williams, the Baltimore whirlwind, and Eddie Campi, the clever California youngster Tim McFrath has been nursing along, are matched to fight for the fight to battle Coulon for the championship—in the 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.

ON CLAI BORNE IN THIRD. Local Middleweight Star Has Little Difficulty in Stopping Hot Springs Opponent. HOT SPRINGS, Ark.—It took Jack Dillon, middleweight title contender of Indianapolis, just three rounds to knock out Marshall Claiborne of this city, in their scheduled ten-round bout at Whitington Park. The bout was staged February 16th. Both men were in great shape. Dillon will meet Jim Flynn in Kansas City, March 3, and he is keeping in tiptop condition. Claiborne was no match for the Indianapolis champion, who made a chopping block of the local boy. In the second round, Claiborne attempted to carry the fight to Dillon, and this is exactly what Jack desired. Some hot inighting followed, when Dillon ripped an uppercut under Claiborne's chin that sent the local man spinning across the ring. Claiborne took a world of punishment in the third round and the crowd yelled for the referee to stop the bout. Before he could do so Dillon landed a short right-hand jolt on the point of the chin and Claiborne went down and out under the ropes. WHAT'S BEING SAID OF JACK BLACKBURN Eddie Hanlon got a letter from Bob Deady, the old-time Philadelphia sport, not long since. Bob is playing the Good Samaritan to Jack Blackburn, the great negro fighter, who was recently released from the Pennsylvania pen, where he did a bit of manslaughter. And he's just like the rest of them—he wants to come back, and he wants to start right away. Blackburn was one of the greatest fighters that ever started a jab or a jolt. He was not even in his prime when he got mixed up in a shooting scrape, killing a man who accused of breaking up his home. They sloughed him for a long term, but he proved such a model prisoner that he was pardoned a few weeks ago, and he has the old bee in his hat again. Shortly before his trouble, Blackburn beat Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and a couple of weeks later waded in and flattened George Memisc. Any fighter who can take on heavy weights and lightweightes at short notice must pack a lot of the regular goods around with him. But this is the Blackburn used to do, and he never got much Deadly, a great judge of fighters himself, believes that the wonderful coon still has a few left in him, and he has asked me to help him. Is anything like he used to be. Blackburn would prove a terror among our wetter weights and our middle weights. Perhaps somebody will give chance to the fellow, he may he deserving of one.

Howard Opens the Ten Days Evangelistic Campaign—Noble Sissle Sings—Meeting at Tom- Nelson Hall Sunday Night. Dr. S. L. Howard, the noted evangelist from Nashville, Tenn., opened the tennis day's laymen's evangelistic campaign Sunday, when he addressed the men's "monster meeting." Dr. Howard, in his straightforward and inimitable presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, convinced several of the now professing men in the audience of the error of their ways and compelled them to come forward and make a determined stand to lead better and cleaner lives. The evangelist uses none of the claptrap, thunder and lightning or questionable devices of the sensation, nor does he attempt to involve men into the paths of righteousness by appealing to the emotions, but rather, on the contrary, by a simple and yet profound exposition of the truths of Christ's teaching, he endeavors to point out "The Way." Mr. Noble Sissle, the popular tenor soloist, rendered very effectively a number of GR Rev. Howard addressed the boys' Sunday meetings, also... In spite of the stormy and inclement weather that has prevailed this week the attendance at the evangelistic meetings held in the auditorium has been encouraging, and each succeeding night has found an increased attendance, with a corresponding increase in the number of converts. If no others make a decision for Christ during the remaining days of the campaign the results already obtained are sufficient to justify the assertion that the effort has been worth while. All arrangements have been completed for the linson Hall Sunday night, where all of the congregations of the various churches of the city will unite in one common endeavor. Splendid and far-reaching results are expected to come at this meeting. Dr. Howard leaves for Pittsburg, Pa. Sunday to conduct a seven days' service. The educational and men's gymnasium classes were based on the past week during the evangelistic campaign. Next week the regular schedule will be in effect. March 3, the spring term of the Bible course begins. Four classes will be in operation. The beginners will be taught by Mr. Thomas E. Taylor. Rev. Father Maloney of St. Phillip's Episcopal Church will have the charge of second year class.

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.)
