C., April 22—Society of the last Saturday evening at the Musical Theatre to witness a masterly interpretation of the drama, "The Common Eyes," by the Renaissance Players, an organization made up of the best talent of Brown's handsome playhouse was taken and rarely has a more brilliant audience gathered anywhere. The talent of Brown's handsome playhouse was enthusiastic galore and the fine points of the drama evoked the heartfelt emotions of the critics. Not only was the painstaking work of the actors warmly commended, but the remarkably accurate portrayal of the characters especially for this production by W. D. Nixon and S. D. Milton, came in for its share of the laudation for the animation at Litchfield, and D'Arville Hall were particularly noteworthy, prince as the curse revealed them in their proper lights. The artistic side of the performance was in the skilful use of color, texture, and most producing manager of the race, and well-selected and the individual characters were presented with a degree of care and intelligent discussion for the Negro in this almost unexposed field of Thespian endeavor. The announcement of the Renaissance puts the idea strongly when it says: In placing The Common Enemy before the public Mr. Guy has attempted what his personal ambition might be. This adaptation, when presented, will be made possible by our race. If accepted, it will pave the way for plays of the same style, portrayed by the greatest actors of the world, to present their talent, interpret the emotions and higher aspirations of those whom we are prone to see in caricature. The play was accepted by a sympathetic and appreciative audience, the audience that the crucial support in his efforts to raise the standard of dramatic effort among a people heretofore pictured too often low comedy and dangerous buffering.

Superintendent Roscoe Coulson, since the of the Washington State University, has the invitation of the National Economic League to become a member of the national Council as a representative of the District of Columbia.

Mr. Beaton, speaking of the work of the National Economic League, says: “The aim which we have in view, as you will see, is to provide a means by which the important national issues of the present day are be made independent thought of the nation, rather than left to the exigencies of political conventions; and to secure widespread and continuous discussion of these questions throughout the country.” This broad scope of thought and action in mind, and considering the distinguished personnel of the Council, it will be readily observed that the compliment thus paid to Mr. Bruce, in inviting him to become an associate worker, is not a light one. Still Considering Judge Terrell. As this report closes, the Senate is still considering the confirmation of Judge Robert H. Terrell, without having reached a definite conclusion. Lack of consensus among the stakes from day to day. Drastic measures are to be taken in the near future to secure action, and news of his confirmation may be expected at any time.

The town is accessible day by day, nearly all of the churches holding special services. At the Episcopal church, of which Father Ferguson is rector, there was a special music concert, the music was of the very best. Morning and evening sessions at the Congregational church brought out a very large crowd, and the rally day. Over $500 was raised. At the Newbows' Sunday school, under the direction of Mrs. Bessie J. Allen, the program, over $40 was collected. The members of the Mt. Lebanon Bap church the baptism service, the river, and an art gallery says that there were nearly ten thousand present to witness the usual activities of the band, marched to the church at Thirteenth and Broadway, where the Rev. Wells preached a very eloquent service before the Baptist church and special forensic collection. The day was an ideal one, not too cold nor too warm. The streets were quiet and their new Easter outfits of all styles and colors, tango hats, dresses and such like being very much in evidence, and in some cases created quite a sensation. Siam delivered a special lecture and presented stereopicon pictures. The local baseball season will open here next Sunday afternoon when the Chicago Cinnati Muldons cross bats. Quite a large crowd is expected on the open field, and the Cinnati. The local team has been strengthened and is expected to play a winning game this season. We clip the following from an Oklahoma daily paper in reference to Mrs. Sneed, who is now teaching in the Guthrie high school. Mrs. Sneed is quite an orator and is fast climbing to the top of her professions. Speed Recital Great On Friday evening, April 13, Mrs. La- vinia B. Sneed, teacher in Favier high school of this city, gave a recital at the Musicales of the Martha Washington club. Mrs. Sneed was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience of the most famous people of the city. Few in the audience and heard her recite her, but nearly all had heard her great and eloquent speech of the day. She was a cunningly training, her power as an orator, her ability to hold an audience and to move the human heart were her greatest gifts. She recited from Dunbar, Wallace, Shakespeare and other great masters; and for two hours held her audience with her unerring dramatic instant, and her wonderful power to portray the human heart. Her rendition of Ben Hur's obituary surpassed anything ever presented in the city. Mrs. Sneed has few equals upon the platform. She plans giving recitals in all the principal cities of the country during the coming summer. The Douglass Dehating club, composed of high school boys, is arranging to have a special debate during the summer. The bate and usually draws a large crowd of interested persons. The club is under the supervision of Mr. Thomas F. Thomas of the public library, who organized the event. During the week of April 30 there will be a gathering of public school teachers to discuss some very vital questions will be discussed. The meeting will be under the direction of Prof. F. M. Wood of Paris, France, and president of the high school and president of the State Teachers' association. During this week President Woodrow Wilson is expected to address the white teachers' association. Quite a large delegation of Louisville faculty from the Shelbyville public schools, of which Prof. Saffel is principal. Mr. Lee L. Brown, general newspaper correspondent, is expected to be on hand and make a report of the exercises for the Negro press. . . . Mrs. Burman, a well-known hair-dresser of this city, entertained quite a number of friends at U. B. F. hall last week. Rev. J. F. Wilson, state organizer of the chapist Young People's Union, passed through city hall to Henderson, Ky., where he will hold a special institute this week.

Hair culture may be divided into a science and art. It is a science as it pre- partly to empirical and haphazard discovery, races, even the most univilized from the beginning of time, have held the mode of headaddress as very essential to their being. When Columbus discovered America, he found the red man wearing a helmet, a mask, and a bandana on his shoulders and beads. When Henry Stanley pierced the jungles of Africa, he likewise found the natives there leading their wild and barbarous lives, bedding their heads in the mud, and wearing as heads dipped in mud, rope turbans and the like. Even in the colonial days of England, the dressing of the hair was admired equally as much as the gorgeous clothing. Hours of untriring efforts were spent in arranging ques, coiffure and other beautiful head decorations; so not only do we see the hair of the natives styling and decorating of the hair in these early centuries but today, time is being devoted to the study of the same art which permits us to have schools and colleges in broadening the fields of Hair Culture. Thousands of dollars are being spent annually for the development of this work. We are now in the process of these figures! But yet there are only a few professional schools for this training. Such training as you get in schools and colleges of science and art of Hair Cul Today if a farmer wants to farm successfully, causing the land to produce all the profit, he must be trained. For years the best scientific agricultural professors labored untriflingly with the farmer to convince him that days and months are because simply because he lacked agricultural training; therefore the same training it required in Hair Culture and today we are working incessantly to convince our women that it is a very dangerous method of hair care, which the hair, as the hair is a small fibrous tube, containing many small, delicate cells, which when destroyed, upon the latest scientific and hygienic methods for treating the scalp. This course is taught in a magnifier over the country as well as in our college. In cases where the examination of the hair is required we have found it necessary to place in a magnifier of a very high magnification. The Operating Department of Oxford College is undoubtedly the best equipped department ever placed in a college of engineering. The Oxford electrical apparatus, such as the combination sterilizer which is the very newest style, for combs, brushes, and other instruments, is parted used in this work; the violet ray machine is also used, being especially designed for this department; the warranty of mention for their comfort.

Persons doing business with him will do it at their own risk. THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING CO. We are sliding into Summer most gracefully—no striking features by way of heat and cold. The big colored folks of Washington, ton, C. C., are still at loggerheads. Lord help 'em to get right. The necessity for the loyalty of all citizens can be seen at this time. It's a very good time to make the fact emphatic. Ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge has been nominated for Senator by the Progressive party of Indiana. This means that the campaign as waged by that party will not be without an element of attraction. Dr. Booker T. Washington suggests that a "grand assault" be made on the railroad officials June 7th and 8th. The assault is meant to be friendly, all right, but none the less effective in the effort to bring about better accommodations in the coaches set aside for colored people. And while North Carolina is doing good by knocking out a segregation ordinance Virginia is busy trying to place one in the law books. But such ordinances will only remain as such in event they are not declared invalid. Property rights will not easily be set aside, not to speak of the rights of the citizens to move about as they please. Well, we are fighting at last. What the outcome of the Mexico mixup is difficult to see at this time. The President is wise and considerate, consequently it will be taken for granted that he has not erred in the matter. It is up to us to sustain him as it becomes the good patriot who has faith in the integrity of his government. Prof. W. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, has called down considerable wrath on his head owing to his unguarded reference to the Negro publications. He is old enough to know better. But discretion was never DuBois' burden. We need his fine education. Now, if he will only inject a bit more of judgment in it, he will answer fully the demands made on him. The Falls City Medical Association of Louisville, Ky., an organization of the colored doctors of that city, have agreed to patronize the drug stores controlled by colored men. They urge this since they depend on colored patronage for livelihood. In a recent meeting of the association it was brought out that the colored pharma-cists were accurate and careful in compounding prescriptions and documentation for the colored druggists who have not had things their way all the time as it concerns confidence in their ability. The movement breathes a spirit of reciprocity the thing the race needs badly enough SEGREGATION ORDINANCE HELD INVALID. In speaking of the efforts of the colored people to maintain themselves in their citizenship and to enlarge it, we said, a short while since, that in the disputes and squabbles of men righteousness will edge to the fore. Little by little in their mad contending the truth is admitted, when every man gets his just desert. Indeed, we are in the midst of just such a time when, now and then, men are declaring for the right regardless of all else. Nine days ago the Supreme Court of North Carolina held to be invalid the segregation ordinance of the city of Winston-Salem. The News and Observer, a publication of that city, bad as follows: "The decision of the Supreme Court was unanimous, holding that towns were not entitled to have only such powers as are conferred upon them by their charters and the general provisions of the law. The town had to authorize the town of Winston-Salem to govern the county manner. It was contended that the town had the right to adopt this ordinance under the general welfare clause and under the general police power of towns and cities. The Supreme Court states that the authority to adopt such ordinances under the general welfare clause and upon a board of aldermen by the general welfare clause in its charter or general police power is a town upon a board of aldermen by the general police power is not an act of the legislature authorizing towns and cities to segregate the races would be constitutional is not passed on by the court in this case, but the matter may not end there, but it is equally plain to see that civil righteousness is making an effort to have swain. Chief Justice Clark, who writes the opinion, states: "The brief for the state frankly says it is not claimed that the city of Winston had any express grant of power to pass a segregation ordinance. To uphold the validity of such an ordinance, therefore it must be shown that the passage of it was a reasonable exercise of the police power." The justice could have as well held that Winston-Salem was within its rights in passing the segregation ordinance as to have held the contrary opinion. The contrary opinion would more than likely have been in accord with the sentiment of the dominant people of that community, and also sectional. He held that the legislature should no such powers on cities as Winston-Salem had arrogated to itself. It was usurpation, pure and simple; it was submitted to because of the known racial feeling. As we see it, the justice has ruled rightfully in accordance with the intent of the legislature which seeks to maintain the larger control over the citizens in the name of the State. If Winston-Salem will have special laws it must go to the legislature which will especially empower it to make them. This victory may not be thought to be complete since there is opportunity for a comeback. And yet it is comeback possible if the judge did what was in his power to give a black eye to the ordinance. If it comes up again it will be by a circitous route, and by which time the influences of such men will have, perhaps, so circulated as to anticipate it, and thus be the means of throttling it. The thoughtful of the race have conceded something when contending for greater liberty. The separate coach idea is admitted to be convenient ent owing to the condition of the race. Socially the races are wide apart and will remain so for many years, if not indefinitely. In riding on the trains the social idea naturally presents it self, and in deference to the known and avowed opposition of the white people the Negroes surreptitiously their of the race maintain it, when speak of it in that way. This is clearly in interest of all. But when it comes to segregation, the residence of citizens, it is another question. One restriction would lead to another until the Negroes would in time find themselves wholly beyond the keep of the laws, when ambition would give away to hopelessness which would be as hurtful to the state as to the Negroes. Our race, it will be admitted, has not always been up on the ethics of the up-keep of premises, but they have been coming up for years, and for which they should be encouraged. In other ways they are proving better tenants, and therefore, do not need special grouping. Councilmen and legislators should readily see what these drastic measures mean. They do not merely affect the Negroes of Winston-Salem or Norfolk, Va. Is it expedient to strike down so much of the country's citizenship? Will such striking down be accepted with good grace? We do not think so. DALLAS. TEXAS.

C.'s, and the second by "Mindless Men," but was knocked off the mound in the fourth and was relieved by the second game, allowing no hits and striking out eleven men. Booker was on the second game, allowing a consistent game throughout, but couldn't stop the terrific batting of the second game, allowing the second game of the city championship series next Wednesday evening at 3:30 and a large crowd is exited to see these two classy teams perform.

This will be the focus of the team of Owsley & Davis will be on of the crack teams of the country. Lora Golf pits over three song numbers in the final round. They are "I Am Crying for You," "Smother Me with Kisses and Kill Me with Kiss," "I Am Crying for You." The latter song she features with a pretty dance movement which is in her orientation. The dances of the countries she played. The critic who spoke carelessly of her work last week was mistaken. He numbers are no need of the kind to number up the art. He classy, pretty and satisfactory. The Pelican Trio, Misses Hunter, Nelson and have some breezy entertaining numbers. Spencer Finley proved a highly capable monologist. His budget of stunts was $10,000. He set of jokes has ever been worked off on a Crown Garden audience. His little parodies were fitting. His work house in the best.

His manager, Mr. Mitchell is proclaiming to put the public. Keep on picking, Michaels, you may find an angel—Well wait and see. The Ten Georgia Blossoms opened at the Lafayette Monday, April 16th. After the first show, Boots Allen quit the act because they refused to bill him. We can't much blame you, Boots, because he has made quite a reprint of the same of the leading-colored shows and also in Harlem. If you can't get the money, get the name. Once more, the main color is the same. For the 'steeth time' has stranded some more performers in Canada—Because we have seen a soubrette and a shoem, we have been in with their shoes over the shoolder. Gussie Smith and Arthur Connelly made a great impression at the Crescent. We wish them success. They should go better since they joined Lafayette Theater.

Tom Lemonier on Probation. Lee Tung Foo, a Chinese specialty artist, in gorgeous narcarb, sang modern songs in Chinese, English and good music, and worked well, but his dialect was poor, humorously intimated that his stunt was better than working in a sandwich shop, and he failed to regard the Chappelens in "Hiring a Mald", which was entertaining. Musical Goolmans, fair, Leonard Troupe of young acrobatics, was a colored team, introduced to regard their atmosphere. The last half of last week had Leedon Troupe, a colored team, introduced to regard their atmosphere since his retirement from a big white company in which he played a charm, and that he did not introduce himself as the famous song writer, author of "Just One Word of Consolation." He was also an artist in recognition, Others on the bill were Lew Canton's "Thirty Minutes on Broadway" with Will Stanton, a good joker, and Atkinson, with good jokes; Double Simms, a good comic cartoonist and the Three Tyrones on bars completed Tuesday week had Ellijah and Taylor winners; Brown & Brown, White & White and Cross & Parker.

Morton and Wilson Captivate Butler May, known as String Beans, alone by himself, dressed legitimate with a good piano comedy stunt, was the star attraction at this house. In his monologue he told a story of a girl who, when he blows his horn and how the boys on the roof blew horns. His talk, this time, was neither suggested nor been legitimate had he not ejaculated that the minister swore, by swearing. When he has omitted a preacher's name, he will be one of his songs, he will become legitimate. Others on the bill were Morton & Wilson, who fairly captivated the audience with a minute act and Bessie Walker, also who has improved, but needed a new closing song. The tango last Tuesdays, the color winners of last Friday week were Jones & Carson, first show winners, Brown & Brown, second show winners again appearing one half of the week at each house. MOORES AND ED WARDS AND MAE'S DOGS THE MONO- GRAM Joe Simms Talks of War. J. Francis Mores, the popular baritone, who has not been with us for years, and the young man, an amateur, but was not recognized in character until he appeared in street clothes. He was in good voice and his partner, Miss Nettie Edwards, a good singer, was in good voice. Why I'm Crying for You." Joe Simms wearing a diamond cross, sang and talked of war in modern fun goroleo, improved, and Miss Jackson looked charming. Mae's trained dogs was the best novelty attraction the seen at the annual Macy's parade and the young man who both appeared on the trapese, showed that the boy is an excellent athlete. This show will finish the week at the other house. GOOD PHOTOPLAYS AT THE PIC TURE HOUSE. "Loyalty" drew big at the States as did the "Perils of Pauline" which opened as a series. The Lincoln had the "Dream Woman" in four parts. The Phoenix had Tuskegee Institute pictures last week which moved to the fountain on Thirty-fifth street.

He has been very popular among the medical professionals whom he has good medical service—Amsterdam News please copy. The announcement that a white syndicate at Norfolk, Va., is to build a colored theater, with the support of both white and colored companies, is a very good thing if they will live up to the objective of the colored companies. In discussing the colored managerial problem it must be remembered that color is not educated in the show business and actors who have the ability to manage are very few and, it would not be possible to have them educated in that line unless they were sure of having a capable man, as manager. The project of a colored theater in Virginia, therefore have to come by graduation. Bob Motts went from a saloon to a colored theater, locally, therefore have to come by graduation. Bob Motts went from a saloon to a colored theater, locally, therefore have to come by graduation. When the days of criticism and competition came to his door, his eyes were opened and lived, he would have competed with the best managers on State street. And that is the south. The dingy little wine room vaudeville music hall, that exists supported by the exhibition of low motion videos in singing, talking and dancing, is the greatest hindrance to the moral progress of the colored people of that region and that should be speedily remedied.

Large Crowd Witnesses Actor's Wedding—St. Anne Bazaar a Success With Capitalism Hard to Steal the Colored Business Current Theatrical Notes. After the last show on a Thursday night at the Lincoln Theater, the actors hurriedly changed their clothes to the main stage. The cost was $1,000, $1,000 for a wedding of Madeline Cooper ("Kiss the Die" Doo), and Mr. Irvine Pugg, the piano player who was appointed time to play the Ferrell made the brief dress to the many upturned faces gazing anxiously at the stage to get these new friends and soon as they are in the house was packed and jammed. The two were so old as they had, and the thespianes, arrayed in evening dress, were left with Rev. Kel-Kel-Kel, who was the first church choir and the ceremony was on. Miss Cooper was chaperoned by Mrs. Kate Williams, who afterwards gave up super to the city people in honor of "Kilic Kile," who has lived with her since residing in this city. This affair was a few years ago, of a Kik Kile friend, as she has a way of making herself dear to all of them. But as Mr. Puggisley is of her disposition, there is no man who has a good time to do that. He does not lose her. Much credit must be given Mr. Brooks and the Lincoln Amusement Company, another event that is the first week the bazaar of the St. Anne's Church of John Street, at the Fifth Street Catholic school. This is the first time the극sman and the극sman and showing the Catholic people have solved the Negro question. In these large dormitory halls white and black and white are the most common of the most common, without a thought of color or distinction. The K. of C. turned out in full a very "noted" amount, the colored visitors was "O. Dempsey," and Dabbney, and Brown, who won a sack of flour and looked anxiously to the same way. The market was a family attached. A colored man created a business here and made a business a stagnation here and an enduring many things that are to the people in the field that is new to the people. In the last few years successes were to be made by the two who showed the most something. Then came the capitalist seeking, and finally concluded to sink many dollars in an enterprise to steal the time from the store. He was in the home of his own up until now. So in a week or two another set of money men will be set out. Then this man's business. But there is a growing prejudice quietly assuming. Theatrical Notes. The week of the 20th looked promising as both houses' lobby display was grand, which caused both places to re-ignite business. The Fekin's show was Byrd & Byrd Opened. They looked like a "lemon" before they opened owing to being careless enough to not have photos to present for a display—but say they are a scream before a colored audience a "la" scream before a clean and better. They make good. Then LaBelle Glenn. The most creditable singer in the show business, constantly working and engaging that stand to show she is a traction. This class of singers is sometimes a doubt as to pleasing. Lauren explains that by knowing the art of entertaining by the voice, she sees that she can be a concealed. She rendered three numbers that balanced to their edition. "Lolita" created a storm of applause. Dayenport & Dayenport Brought us an act that gave satisfaction from the start. He opened with a smile and gave a pleasant apprehension. He was good at the Mrs. Davenport broke in voice after the first show. She has a severe cold, but this act is by far the liveliest double The Lincoln. A great show here that took well with a nice crowd. Woodcats Opened this known act and made no applause. Then Baby Mack With three songs done well. She was a hit. She has a real kid act and will take anywhere. It would do well to hold her over. Then The Stock. After the success of last week in an Indian act, they were as good as could be expected. They keep them laughingly. Mr. Rowe, the actress, shows to advantage in staging this stock company. He can do this work. The character played by Trike went on to become a star. She was good. Kinkle, the big married woman, done some tall talking. She needs it now to get her hubby. She old Cliff Rossefound the comedy, as usual. Mr. Arthur Porter, of Porter & Dewey, left the stage to take care of the real estate business, but sends respects to friends in and out of the profession. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H.

The best show, the largest crowds, the most satisfied patrons is the rehearsal of the show. Theater this week. It has been several months since a bill has created such comment. Every event big, every big, every big, takes an encore by bination that one can not hope for often, and wise St. Louisians are taking advantage. Bination open with their rythmic acrobatic Hesitation and Tango dances the immense audience in a state of unrestrained energy, restrain the strain of applause that fills the house with round after round of cheers. Peat and Hayes, in a riot of comedy and sandwiched by real live and clean jokes, promise that eccentric dancing, and garnished with elegant costuming, all but break up the good judgment prevails in the audience, for Miss Hattle Garland, whose wire work, good singing, and peculiar magnetism has got em going here for sure. They don't even want to change costumes between songs. Frank Montgomery and Florence Hunt in a screamingly funny one-act musical from its humor, is so elegant in stage effect and so artistically aristocratic from its humor, seems to offer simultaneous applause. The large stage here herses ample opportunity for these art- tistic works, and the result is an electric effects and the result is an artistic combination that meets our ideal leaves us in a pleasant mood. They promise to return or be kidnapped. Miss Ethel McClain and her husband, Walter J. Perry, well known St. Louis baritone, will join her sister, Florence McClain, and Frank Montgomery, who will join other talented sister, Semora, is staring with her husband, Bonnie Clark.

When old age doth come a-creeping Like a thief, while we are sleeping. Little dreaming that this Nemesis of dried and converted into tears of daughter, as all his partner. Mr. Good, that droll companion. Well, the are "too something." I haven't the word in my vocabulary. A little boy is gored, that jig that man. Mr. Good is good, he's hot he's—" well, I can write what the little boy said in his finishing touches, but you can guess Till our joints begin to crack, And our backs with pains are racking. And we find ourselves a-limping with our feet as we walk. Just a glance into the mirror, And we note the thinning hair is slow- ly, surely turning gray. Then we owe our rest for walking, But we note the thinning hair is slow- ly, surely turning gray. Till our asinine maunderings warn all others from our way. Just a sprint to catch a trolley Leaves us out of breath, by golly! And the passengers are sure we'll have to wait for us. Then we try to make cute faces At the girl in flugs and laces, Till she condescends to mark us for an antiquated 30Ks. They begin in bedroom, crustaceous, And our memories fallacious; Conversation finds us always in a rem- incent vein. Trifles have new vexation; No more for us kids vivacious; And our hearing makes us ask for question over once again. Still old ages come on a-creeping; Months and years commence to leaping, And we pine for the companionship of just one boyhood friend. No time then for vain regretting. Let our lives be bright at setting; Hooray, that we must have us that we were peril in the end. STAGE NOTES.

METROPOLITAN THEATER, MEMORIAL "NNN1" SIIH Notwithstanding the downpour of rain, immense crowds thronged the theater, eager to see him last week. Too much cannot be said of this clever pair of legitimate performers, who always stand tall and serve as the teetering moor. Mr. Berry as a female impersonator, is the best that has played this house, always scoring vulgarity and legitimate goods that would not offend any lady, gentleman or child that has been in the theater. That natural comedian, Mr. Washington screams the house with his appearance and causes a riot when he begins his act. This team will always be wel- Miss Nova Goff. This charming little lady sang her way into the hearts of our patrons on Sunday and spent to numerous enchores as well as being made the recipient of many handsome bouquets. She is heard to good advantage and the audience goes away humming and whistling the sweet tuneful songs of her gowns worn by this cultured little artist are the latest "hints from Paris" and in keeping with her high class Good & Jackson. Well naturally, we, expected this team to be good, we expected them to be good. The Indianapolis boys, the home of The Freeman, our greatest them to exceed our expectations, but --they did! They are too good, if they didn't! One of my one causing persons in the audience to sing the sweet lyric tenor, in his rendition of "Keep Out" by My Dreamers. dried and converted into tears of laughter, as did his partner, Mr. Sam Wheeler, a somedian are "too something haven't the word in my vocabulary. A little boy remarked "dat big fat man (Mr. Good) is good, he's not the he-selves card" can be written in the final finishing touches, but you can guess it all right. Three cheers for Indianapolis for producing such good material to those to Mr. Barrasso for offering us such. Madame Vena Madam Vena, the little lady of mystery, was forced to close her second week's engagement here owing to a contract on Ofay time, which, through an oversight, had been overlooked. We regretted having to give her up very much, but owing to a treated litigation by the manager of the white theater, as a matter of courtesy she was released by our "prince of managers," Mr. A. Barrasso, in time to fill the pending dates, after which she will go East and open on the Dudley time. The writer had the pleasure of seeing a white team at a local playhouse here recently engaged in the same line of work, and to say that Madame Vena, though colored, is the peer of all mysteries, would be so icing the sentiment of all critics and the teacher of who have seen this particular fact by different ones at different playhouses. Hello, David C. Smith; you "Tennessee Sunbeam." Wish you success in your new theater. Dr. Holder. L. D. JOEL, FAMOUS THEATRICAL KING IS NOT DEAD. Returns to Show Business With Billy King as Partner is Having Billy Success. Special to The Freeman JACKSONVILLE, Fl., April 9—Recently many inquiries have reached this city asking whether L. D. Joel, a former Army officer who was yet alive and your correspondent made a speedy investigation. L. D. Joel is yet alive and in the show. L. D. Joel has lost $40,000 flat in theatrical pursuits last year, this year finds him high and every one seems glad he abouts because Joel has gained and kept the name of an honest man in the Army. King becomes a partner of Joel's and MR. L. D. JOEL these two clever, honest and reliable men have opened up one of the largest airdomes in the south at Broad and Ashley streets in the city of Jacksonville. Billy King has brought one of the best vaudeville and stock complex because it is composed of such famous stars as Mme. Cordelia McClain, W. H. Barclay, Howard Kelly, Mrs. Hattie McIntosh, Billy King, Misses Kelly and Burnette. The Jolly Hendersons, Jack Wiggins and a number of others who rank with those mentioned. When word reached this office stating that Mr. Joel was yet alive and well after receiving many programs that the theatrical man had passed away, Mr. Elwood C. Knox, a manager of The Freeman, remarked: "I am very pleased to note that Mr. L. D. Joel is still in the land of living and that Mr. Billy King is associated with him in the show business. I don't think we have anywhere a more fearless champion of the colored performers' rights than he and I don't believe that he is a Aqua-a-Boomer of good shows and a clever advertiser on the extensive order that pays." PHILADELPHIA, PA REMARKS FROM EILERS' NEW ORLEANS MINSTRELS. (By Uncle Joe Golphin.) The weather is fine, the show is running smoothly, crowded nightly, the ghost is running to us every Sunday, and the band is playing. Our overture first part has been strengthened with that singing and dancing wonder, Jim (Monkey) Davis. His voice is so powerful that will join us sometime this week. Only two more weeks in the Lone Star State until there into Oklahoma. The Wall Street band will perform theirs with ease. Dennis and Payton, Hattie and John, in their sketch, is a riot from start to finish. The band will hit "Million Dollar Doll," while Mr. Dennis will send home in his peculiar way the favorite song Bob Lemon the tangle foot wonder, makes them rise THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER out of their seats when he sings "The Old Fall River Line," and finishes with his excentric dancing. The team of Golphin & Cooper the famous Blue Grass Boys, in "I Minutes in Ministre," are getting their last last final. Cooper, Kentucky's favorite tenor, singing "Curse of An Aching Heart" with great results, while funny Uncle Joe Golphin is getting funnier every day. "What Do You Mean, You Lost Dog," and "Gone, Gone, Good-Bye, I'm Gone." Mr. Upson, Williams, our contortionist, still gets his with his limbs in the snake box. Little "Carrina" will be a "Snooker" book in that babylon way and sets the pace for all baby characters. Buddy Helms sings "The Devil's Ball," and gets all there is in it. Mr. Wm. Johnson, our strong star favorite monologist, is getting stronger every night. "I'm a good one," he says. In his work, every after-piece staged by Daddy Black, finishes like one of Geo. Cohan's masterpieces, and leaves them in an uproar. Nevill, the Great, mustsist with them nightly with his magic maneuvering, unstopping. "I'm all so seemingly unnatural. Go on, Nevill," the band, under the direction of Professor Fount Woods, now cleaning up everywhere. The orchestra, under direction of Wm. McGuire, putting the music over the housemate in style. Short: Flights: Mr. A. F. Cox, our clarinet and saxophone, is said to be writing some new music. Funny uncle Joe Golphin lost his dog on Friday night, but found him at home. What you mean, you lost your dog?) Happy Clarence Cooper says he will play the key next time he sings "Peg-O-My-My" out base ball team teamed bats with the Rotans (white). The score, 5-5, 4-1. The team teamed with (Gambo) Eddie Lemons, mashed his finger trying to pick the meat out of some pecans and can't play ball. Poor Sasha. Jimmi Walsh forget his rope trick. Why? Ask John Dennis. The Blue Grass minstrel pair will stray a surprise soon. Watch The Freeman. Uncle Joe Golphin would like to hear from Mamie McClure, Wm. Berry, Berry, Berry, Berry, Berry, Berry, Berry, Write, Business of importance. See Route in Freeman each week. B'JANGLES JANGLES WITH THE CRITIC—ERRORS OF COLORED ACTORS WHO MISUNDERSTAND. (By Sylvester Russell.) MACON LETTER. Douglass Theater, Macon, Ga., Week of March 29th. The bill at this theater opened strong beginning with Mabel Baldavport in her inimitable gyrations, songs and eccentric dancing, reminding one of her early role as the uncle Tom's Cabin fame, and in her parody on "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" she was a scream. Following Mace McPheeters as a travesty, "The Actor and the Scrub Woman." McPheeters scoring heavily in "How to Love" his voice being a high baritone. His partner, Miss Lee, created quite a flambourg amongst her peers, and in particular as she "evoluted" from a plain everyday scrub woman (in full view of audience) to that of an up to date fashionable "stage lady." Their act But the surprise of the bill came when the curtain went up on a tabloid play. "His Phillippo Sweethearts," a Phillippo's friend, was called to theหัวข้อแห่งพระนคร พ. Francis Mores and in which comedy and pathos were clearly and cleverly interwoven. Miss Nettle Edwards, who essayed the part as anовการกิจจนักกำลังกว้างที่ช่วยเค้นจนจนเค้นจน, the con-handle lines to a nicety in a way that beggars description. We predict a bright future for Miss Edwards and the life of the writer and producer of the play. J. Francis Mores, from what we have seen of him, he is to us Macomites what Henry Miller of Great Sculpture form and the musty Francis Sculptureman family is to the white race, so well and finished is his acting and of his singing I am forced to say he has the finest baritone ever heard here. He is the only man who has the most wide-chestline. From the rising of the curtain until its slow descent upon the death scene, the interest never larged for a moment, and "The Phillippo Sweetheart" proved box office attraction for the week. Mr. C. H. Douglass, the efficient owner and proprietor of The Douglass Theater and various interpreters here left the city to join his former business partner Pete Worthy, who now has the famous Florida Blossoms show. Mr. Douglass still maintains an interest in the show. The new show has been recently upon the expiration of which time he returns to Macon. Mr. William Smith, the young manager, is in charge and things are running along smoothly without a hitch. Irena Douglass, a vaudeville pianist, played Ocumgille Park last season for Cha. Collier, manager of the park, died of tuberculosis and a complication of alzheimer's last week, and buried Wednesday. At the closing of the park here, went into vaudeville with Walter Smith, where she was taken ill. Her mother came for her and took her to Tampa, where it was thought she would imitate the death came. She is mourned by many friends in and out of the profession. NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIEN'S FAMILIES OF GEORGIA MUNST BELTS We are now in the State of Mississippi and are doing a very good business.

Suite 501 Gaiety Theatre Broadway & 46th St., New York City THE MAKING OF A BASEBALL CLUB. Methodical Work—Men Obey Like Children in School—Manager Taylor and His Well Known Squad. (By Billy Lewis.) Perhaps all of the lesser clubs do not go through the same kind of vigorous training that they through before the opening of the season. In fact, not many if any team, did more careful, regulated work than that done by C. I. Taylor, who are still very daily. Of course, as the season advances the necessity for work will not be; but at this time Taylor's program is nearly as active as a game between "high spirited" teams in height of the season. I think I am safe in saying that C. I. Taylor leads in management among colored teams, in personal training, preparing his men for the strife. He works as hard as his men, going through their three hours' calisthenics and other stunts just as hard as his hardest to bear of his men. He must be hard to base in the practice as he would in the biggest game possible for his men. His object is to beat the ball, although it sampled practice, and also to set an serious and earnest approach to a persisting battle in a school. This slightest wish is law. That is, his men see him in law. That is, his the men see the ball of base ball were to be mobilized by the statues of men who are most in earnest, who worked hard and accustomed to that of C. I. Taylor's be among those chosen. would manager Taylor builds up his men as individual ball players, many of his team, also knows players without half trying to know the player if he promises development. In fact, he is almost a scientist in his own business with what promises results. He likes to develop men as Burbank would develop trees— Taylor appears to disdain to smile. It is not in his nature to do very much along with his men, to warm, rather coaxing voices, and as pleasing an expression as it is possible to put on his clothes, looking as if he seems to inspire as he fills among his men, doing whatever they are doing. His personality is such, giving him wants to be least effort, and it impresses one as silently strenuous. No one thinks of shirking. Very few times does he utter a bitter utterance and when he does he gets his promptest obedience. He seems perfectly willing to debate with his men on the subject of practice and its incidents. He maintains a splendid hold, influence over his men, due to his large acquaintance with his men's modestness, his own playing ability and which averages up well with his men, and his care for his men. He possesses a cool-restrains them in the interest of the general good. The Practice in Progress. The medicine ball comes first in the practice. It weighs 12 pounds. The men are in a ring; the ball is shoved down the wall and they move. This is followed by calesthenics such as are meant to make supple the anatomy, and the ball is formed from two horizontal rows a short distance apart. They are not as school children used to do with the bean bag. However they have more than 100 calories which I observed there were men making for a fine opportunity to add interest and pleasure to what The men were next lined up as batters, a fairly equal number did duty in the field, mostly the attacker, the struck at the balls, thrown by the pitcher, earnestly and as violently as if they were in the field, mostly the attacker, after getting in a fair ball hit. It was up to him to get in this hit as quick as possible, since it was the test; and the time. The pitcher seemed seemingly omnipotent, yet gentle and kind through it all. The pitchers, perhaps, do not need to be gentle and kind through the business changes throughout this practice. Men pass to the field others come to take a ball, and running to the end of that phase of the practice is closed every man has had a turn at batting, and running to the end of that phase of the practice and none was more interesting. The object here is to hit a fair ball then tear out for a catch, and running to the end of that catch the pitcher first, second and third basemen, and of course the short stop. The main object, however, is to catch the ball, and running in. In making this run one of the batters looked to see where the ball was, and the manager forbids this, saying that two steps are lost when the runner looks about him. He insists on on a fast pitch, and one regardless of the position of the ball. Bunting and running is another in- venting phase of the practice. It is wav- ing in the air, pulled off in advance of one or more of the men who have made their bases. It is wavings in the air, a very good thing, be- cause it was soon made clear that only certain kinds of balls are fit to play. Taylor has given this matter his close, personal sition, proving what he insists was similar, the difference being that the men bunted several times, and did not run to first base. Taylor becomes an exciting and interesting teacher. He presides at the bat and plays ball with the team just as he whilesen. He is as uppern- ing as a jungler doing a vaudeville turn, and ball is grabbled up after Taylor places when it is fired at first sacker. It is systematically the same that play being has at that time, that the catcher has a chance to get them to take it like the other fellows. Taylor is in his infield drives. This is pushed to the trying position of the player in his infield drives. This is than any other player. A General Summary. The sixteen men that stood on the four line line were finely proportioned as to their size: they are stocky, well built, averaging 165 pounds, and Hannibal stand about 170 feet. The others range on down to about 145. Hannibal is the well known boxer. Manager Taylor is still studying his men, and to the end that he gets satisfied with the mass of players, three college men are involved in the team. They are being tried out, and make good they will become personnel. These men are Larch of Bldgers. These men are Larch of Bldgers. These men are Larch of Bldgers.

With the single to the advancement of the game, and with his ability to a baseball general Taylor promises a club, if not the very best aggregation in America. He is with University at West Baden.

T's last Sunday. The white boys did not turn up until the previous Sunday. The day was very cool and chilly. This may have accounted for the disappointment. Taylor's men showed up as a whole. Two new pitchers held the oak and last Sunday and with success, they were able to win. Harris of the T. T's pitched a splendid ball all through the game, but he balked. Would, perhaps, have been different. He proved all right at the bat, get the pitchers colored pitches during the game. The batting of C. I. Taylor and the calling of Joe Scotland were features. The A. B. C.'s will play the Indianapolis Specials next Sunday. The score: T. T.

But Fails to Send Him to the Floor for Count—He Absorbs So Much Punishment That the Spectators Are Astonished. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Wille Ritchie, lightweight champion, defended his title April 16th against Harlem Hawks in a New York vinceing fashion. Murphy fought a courageous, aggressive battle, but never was dangerous and often was aggressive. He was not disputing the referee's decision at the end of the twenty rounds. Murphy might have been allowed two rounds, but he was allowed and perhaps two could have been given him as even, but the remainder were all Ritchie by a wide margin. He was in twentyth rounds Murphy was dazed and staggering. He reeled and elicited and covered up and leaned against him. He was vitality and he courage saved him from a THE PREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COOKED NEWSPAPER FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE DO GO HOME AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS YES SIR WINNING TEAM LOOSING TEAM YES GO! KENNEDY PINER knockout. Knocked through the ropes in the last round, he bounded to his feet again and came back to the round again, and the round remained Ritchie's by a wide margin. **Stands Heavy Punishment.** Murphy made exactly the sort of fight that Ritchie liked. The champion waited for the challenger to come in with straight lefts and repeated with straight lefts to the face and heavy left and right rips to the body. Repeatedly Murphy took the challenge and made him gasp, but after an instant's hesitation he was always able to crowd back with a brisk rally. Rows of Murphy were raised by the champion was crowding Murphy about the ring, measuring him with his left for heavy right crosses that would knock him out. Both men were in perfect condition. Murphy scarcely landed a clean staircase in the room, but showed to advantage it was with a shower of short-arm upper cuts and body blows. The greater part of the room was covered with a few of the hooks he ducked and those that landed at no time troubled him. Murphy was any rally, to land three or four damaging smashes to the body, and in recent weeks he crossed a road which sour Murphy staggering on his heels into a neutral head and long experience stood him in good stead. He rushed into a room where he brushed himself self until he had his wits about him again. Murphy in the last round was a badly punished man. The champion brushed his wits and brushed he received in the clinches, but left the ring otherwise unmarked. The Ritchie showed improved execution and better generalism than in the usual naughty fights, and added punishing power. STATE PRISON BASE BALL TEAM GAME AT, KDYRHJHL, KEW GAME AT, KDYRHJHL, KEW EDDYVILLE, Ky., April 14—Two of the Eddyville (Ky.) State Prison baseball teams—the Athletics, managed by John Blake, and the Harry Blake—played an interesting game Easter Sunday. Score: Athletics, 1; Giants, 0.

PRESIDENT WILSON TO BE HON ORARY MEMBER OF OLYMPIC GAMES NEW YORK—Woodrow Wilson has accepted an invitation to be honorary chair of the Olympic committee for the Olympic games Berlin in 1916. The President's acceptance, Sullivan is convinced, will help the Olympic team to lean lovers of athletics and instill a new spirit in those who are working to maintain its Olympic supremacy. ARRANGE MATCH RACE FOR DREW AND PARKER SAN FRANCISCO—Plans for match races between Howard Drew and George Parkes in a interscholastic meet in Berkeley, April 24 and 25, have been announced. Stanford's Stanley Kubrisky and St. Louis' Teresa Tscholastic Association. Drew caused surprise two weeks ago by beating George Parkes in yards by 62 seconds. George Parkes is the hero of the all-American team which toured the Antipodes. The races between Howard and George Parkes lead to the 100-yard and 220-yard courses. SAM. LANGFORD PUTS IT ON KID COTTON. Sam Langford, the Boston tar baby, easily defeated Dotton, of New Orleans, who had played after eight rounds of terrific fighting. Cotton gave a game exhibition, but he was not hung up on Langford's shoulder. The Boston slugger resorted almost entirely to distance and uppercutting in the clinches. He used his right at scattering effect. Cotton caught Langford with a left going out of a clinch in the floor. Cotton hit Langford frequently, but the blows made no impression. LEO PATTERSON WILL MEE KID FIDELITY AND THE BEST OF THEM REST OF THEM Sporting Editor Freeman— Dear Sir, I was reading in your book that you were telling me that saying it is hard for him to get any one in his class to box him and would like to say I will meet him before any one in my class. I think it is a reasonable inducement. This does not apply to Fields alone, but any one in the world at the featherweight lim- SMITH MAY MEET LANGFORD. Gunboat Is Getting Tired of Stage Work and Wants to FIGHT. SAN FRANCISCO-Gunbott Smith is facing the challenge. He opened at Pantages and though he was warmly, he protested against the footlight game so much that Manager Jim Buckley had to give the circuit people a chance to play. He apparently from the show business after he completed his contract in Oakland next week. Buckley has already accepted a $6,000 guarantee for Smith to meet Battling Levinsky in a ten-round bout in New York in May. He has also agreed to have the gunner perform in this city and the chances are that Promoter Jim Coffroff will select an opponent for the bout. Coffroff has suggested Sam Langford as Gunbott's opponent and though Smith succeeded in winning a twelve-round bout in Boston, Buckley realizes that Langford is one of the best heavyweights in the world. Buckley is confident that if Coffroff is anxious to make the match for May, it is probable there will be a battle between Langford and Smith here next month. Larney Lichtenstein is out with a defi on behal of lumpy Clabby to have received the decision over Murray last year. The claims Clabby should have received the decision over Murray last year have Clabby meet Murray in a return match provided he could receive suitable terms and the chances are that Promoter Coffroth will clinch the match "YOU COULDN'T MAKE ME TAKE A DRINK."-JOHN L. Old-Time Battler Is Out After the Fortune That He Lost Through the "Stuff"—Disgusted With Present-Day Boxers. NEW YORK—How a man who made a million dollars because of hisROWNING, and how he made dissipation, then swore off all drink and is now on the way to another foray, then went to New York for ten years champion of the wieldy John paid this city a visit—the first time he saw the many changes wrought in its architecture in that short time. He also regrets to see so many of the faces he met in Broadway, to attack the throng of Broadway. John L. is now 55 years old, weighs about 300 pounds, is in excellent health, is attack of the gout, is in excellent health. John L. is well versed on all the titles he has written. Boxing, the sport which enabled him to attain upon thousands of dollars, gets little attention from him now. Of course he has been a daily paper, but he seldom attends a bout. He says he refereed a battle against the name of McPARTY at San Francisco some two years ago—and this is the laudable "I always like to see a good scrap, but most of the fighters nowadays are jokes, so what's the use of watching them?" He gives for not going often to matches. Hopes Federals Make Good. Politics and baseball are two things dear to the heart of the best known sportsman, and very much interested in Boston's political affairs, while he is in hopes that the Federal League makes good progress. "Let by" is the manner in which he expresses his sentiments. He is reported at various times since John L. got aboard the waterwagon he has accumulated close to a boat. "Nothing could be further from the truth," said the old veteran. "I own a nice home and a farm of seventy acres in Abington, Mass., and if I've got $10,000 in the bank I've got a lot of money. "Do you think I would try vaudeville or the theater in of dough?" said John L. "I guess not." Not only is John L. a farmer and a monologist on the side, but he is the proprietor of the theater in Brockton, Mass. "My little theater seats 700 people," said the Boston old-time gladiator, John L. "I think I'll have to increase the seating capacity to 1,700 before long. The moving pictures have come to stay. I think I'll have to increase the attainment, and serve to instruct people in a way that makes it easy to learn." Not only is Sullivan married, but he is upgiving up two little lads. One of them is named John, who says that both of them are as smart as can be. He can bet when they grow up there'll be nothing doing in the boxing line for them. One in a family is enough to follow that game—too many to handle. "The only regret that I have," says Sullivan, "is that I wasn't born thirty-five years later. Where I won one fight, where I was fighting in the old days, nowadays I could roll up five times that sum. For a long time, in fact for two years, I was the lookout for a white hope. I was looking for a fellow with the same qualities that I possessed when I was married. I allowed that would wade in from the first round and a man that could punch and take one in return. After that I allowed that would bad job. I realized that if I could have found a man to whip Johnson I would make more money—and easier money. I have got in the ring. But we want to." Then you don't think that the fighters today are anywhere near as good as they were when they were young. "Not only are the modern fighters not as good as they used to be, but none of the men in any walk of life Fighters Paid Too Much. “I think the public is tiring of the fight game. The trouble is with the fighters and promoters, but the former mostly. The boxers of today value their services too highly. The players can't afford to pay two good men what they ask, and they angle around until they put on an inferior bout, which displeases the fans. I should think if a promoter finds that it's a problem, it should go to the press and lay his case before them and have the boxing hogs ruled out of the game until they become more reasonable. "Another thing that gets my goat is the America's team of major leagues to the Federal League breaking in. I remember that when the American League started they had far less capital than the Feds have today in Philadelphia they went to Connie Mack and told me they wanted to place a club in that city. George Graham and Frank Hough elected Ben Shibe, a moneyed man, president, although he didn't know anything about it at the time, being sick in bed. In Boston they did have two quick fixings until the Taylors became interested. So why should the American League kick? However, I am glad to see Charlie Comiskey, a baseball man with a long head, welcome the newcomers. He's got some sense, that an horser." It's nine years the fifth of next month since John L, took a drink. "I guess it's all destiny with a man," he declares. "A young fellow is plum nutty to touch the stuff, but it's hard to impress upon a man. I never have to think I might still be champion, judging by the line of false alarms that succeeded me to the title, if I had left the stuff alone. I don't make me take another drink for all the money in the world." I'm cured. Let next fall find you attending college at the expense of The Freeman. See page 4.
