WASHINGTON, D. C., August 14.—Mr. Richard Green, for many years chief of messengers in the Treasury Department, has received the highest praise spoken frequently, has been promoted to a clerkship by executive order of President Wilson, having the right to speak with reference to examination. Mr. Green's salary has been $1,100 per annum, and it curates some compensation from now on will be $1,400. "One of the very best things the administration has done since it came into existence throughout the departments and in private circles where "Dick" Green is well-known and universally loved by the people, and is "at home" with all classes, and as black as the aces of spades, Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, of the church or of the world, Sex色, condition and insecurity since 1877 he has been a standard fixture in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, and months ago, it is said, he determined that he would do his level best to better serve the reserve banks were to be located, and later he went with Mr. McAdoo to the New York home of the latter immediately following President Wilson. Men of the stamp of "Dick" Green are doing the race a mint of good. They fit into the industrial classes and do work wonders in forging sympathetic bonds between the best element of the whites and the industrious classes of the blacks. He has title or lofty official designation, perhaps, but he is a real leader and an example of what he has learned having an advance in salary—the has discovered the secret of power and promotion. Men like "Dick" Green are doing the race a mint of good. Whole-souled recognition accorded him by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury will cause a wave of satisfaction. He has masses from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Liberty Baptists to Build Fine Edifice The congregation of the Liberty Baptist church is to erect a fine edifice on the streets northwest.

Mrs. Wilson was gracious, public-spirited and an ideal home-maker. She gave her life for the uplift of mankind. The heartfelt sympathy of all our people goes out to Pres. Wilson in his prayer of every colored American that God give the Chief Magistrate of the Nation strength to bear up under his double burden of cares, imposed through this irrepressible prayer and constant adviser, and by the awful responsibilities that weigh upon him by reason of the world-wide tragedy of war across the sea. It is a season of mourning for all America. No Change at O Street Vocational School. There is no prospect of a change in the principalship of the queen of the national schools in the near future. J.

According to the contemporary press, Jack Johnson is a close second to Huerta as a "toteman." The opponents of the National Negro Press Association seem to have put up the "gone out of business" sign. There is no danger of the original Ananias coming back. He would find himself a bumbling classified by his modern fiction makers. Those who "gagged" at the term "industrial education," gulp down cheerfully the same thing when some he has renamed it "vocational training." It looks as if Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson will be the next Grand Master of the Grand Order of Odd Fellows. His friends say "It's all over except the casting and counting of the ballots." Rev. Alexander Gordon, in a speech before the annual session of the Eastern Association, at Philadelphia, created a drinking preschool that whiskey drinking preschools be unfrocked. Is this a live wire? Harlem, New York City's great Negro center, is to have a colored bank, banked with $200,000.

Upon the principles laid down on these three sections of Holy Writ, "hang all the law and prophets." The thoughtful American Negro is watching with increasing interest the expanding between the "white people" of the Orient and the peril" in Western America and the exclusively white regions of Europe and the exclusively African countries in the problems of the earth, the Negro bound to reap a benefit. In the scheme of things it is not a "white man's world. Divinity is not a overruled by the edict of man. The Negro scores again: Miss Beatrice Bailor of New York City, a student in Public Schools, takes French in a class of thirty-four girls, can girls, won the highest prize, a gold medal, is received most of her training in the law school of D'Albrat private school in Paris. She teaches instruction also in music at the hands of gentlemen master and has a diploma in government. Pro a Parisian school teaching the Pittman method in English. Mr. Maria Van Antwerp Jessup, wife of the master K. Jessup, left $50,000 each to Tuskegee institutes. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jessup mount their long and useful lives were devoted to their great personal influence, which imitated the scope of friends for these standard institutions and increased capacity for helpful service to humanity. One of the striking manifestations of the country is the fact that Booker T. Washington acknowledged high priest of industrial education, is almost put to the limit of his power, and must put to the idea as the principal exponent of the idea as the white people have found out that expert training is as fine a thing for the white as the black boy. No longer is "working class" hands" considered the exclusive privileged class. Negro. No longer is industrial education linked with the Negro as a special patent. As a part of the Extension work of Tuskegee Institute, 1,750 good land have been purchased near the Tuskegee River with a view of encouraging young college students preferably graduates from the agricultural school of Tuskegee Institute, to settle down to become farmers. The land is being surveyed and purpose of erecting houses on it for prosperous chasers. The plan of Dr. Washington is to make there a model farming settlement. This is a fine opportunity to engage in profitable agricultural work, under auspices that assure success. The so-called "higher education" and its training have gotten upon a platform of training, including standing and co-operation, Dr. Booker T. Thomas, the best known expounder of the course of hand-training along with the hand-training department of Howard University, and that preside for classical instruction has introduced a department of applied science and a business department, the educator employs more college graduates than any other institution in the world for education, and recently sent a substantial number of students to university. These incidents make for a friendliness that means much for the race as a whole. The University of Rochester, one of the best and most conservative universities in the country, decided to put in a course of agriculture—concession of the tendency of the times into closer touch with the forces that threaten the economy and economic development of the world. Theition that counts for the most is that each teaches the needs of real life and yet gives us add industrial education, is allowing us to work as where as the exclusive property of the Negro people. On every side the whites are counting brain-culture with muscular The Negro very generally celebrated the Fourth of July, the birth of "our republic." Why not? This is as much a battle as we fought its battles and developed its industries. We have called it "home" for nearly three hundred years. The institution of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, a lot of narrow-gauged near-Americans deny us the right inherited to citizens, the fault lies at the door of individuals, to the nation as such, and they can be held to duty only by a long and tedious course of missionary effort. Let us get these things straight when we attempt to understand the nature or parcel in the flag and cannot sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Notes From Washington, D. C. (By R. W. Thompson.)

State THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Commonwealth Will Show Educational Work at State Fair. The extensive and effective educational work that is being done by various departments of the Indiana state government for the benefit of the Hoosier people will be shown by elaborate exhibits at the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 7. These departments are going far in their work of enlightening both farm and city people to the end of better and more economical living conditions. Some of these exhibits have been seen at the fair for years, showing improvement at every fair, and visitors have found the displays to be sources of information of direct help to them. The newest of these exhibits will be made by the state fire marshal, the purpose of which will be to enlighten the public on how to prevent losses by fire. The exhibit will be along the lines of one given by the National Association of Manufacturers in New York last May, and many manufacturers of fireproof material will contribute to the exhibit at the State Fair. Numerous pictures of large fires and of fire hazzards over the country will be shown. The fire marshal's department will display charts showing both national and Indiana fire losses, causes and suggestions of prevention. Pictures will also be shown of buildings that the fire marshal has condemned, rubbish conditions as they prevail in many places, and which always threaten fire loss. Model and bad fire construction will be another subject in which all builders will be interested. In the manufactured displays will be fire extinguishers, fire alarm system, fireproof door and window shutters, exits and asbestos ware of many kinds. One manufacturer will show a model fireproof home with siding, shingles and other unburnable material. The Indiana State Board of Forestry will have an enlarged exhibit at the fair which will interest all city and country home lovers who would grow and protect trees. The exhibit will also show how to treat woods to prevent decay, and in its display of woods the State Board will show how these Hoosier-grown materials of less expensive kinds may be substituted for the more expensive and less prevalent species. The State Food Commissioner will again have a large exhibit showing honest and dishonest weights and measures, displays of impure drugs and adulterated foods, all of which have been gathered by the inspectors from the open markets of Indiana cities and towns, and through the exhibits the public may learn how to protect themselves from the practices of fraudulent manufacturers and dishonest dealers. The State Entomologist has for years been doing effective educational work among Indiana people by displays at the fair, especially in how to combat the parasites and diseases which attack orchards and gardens. Specimens of insect enemies, examples of diseases, methods of spraying and when and how to use spraying materials, make this exhibit of immeasurable value both to farm people and to city nature lovers. A special feature will be insects and plant diseases that are prevalent in Indiana this year. The boys' judging contest, conducted by Purdue University experts, will be one of the best educational features for the youth from Hoosier farms. The State Board of Agriculture also offers $200 in the Purdue corn growing contest, to be awarded at the corn show at Purdue next January. HONEST HORSE RACES HONEST HORSE RACES Speed Program at Indiana State Fair Week of September 7. Honest horse races in which every horse has opportunity to show his speed, as well as every driver to show his skill, will mark the trotting and pacing events at the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 7. As in other years, the fair's races will be free from the influences of bookmakers and pool manipulators, as no gambling will be permitted. Every horse will go on its merits. This is the kind of racing the people of Indiana have always shown a preference for at the state fair, making this preference known by heavy attendance in the grandstand. Hundreds of talented horses will start in the races, the purses and stakes amounting to a total of $30,000. The purse in each race is $1,000, and for the three-year-old pacers is $4,000, and for three-year-old trotters is $8,000. The events for the five days follow: Monday, Sept. 7 — 2:27 trot; 2:15 pace; 2:15 trot; 2:20 pace for three-year-olds and under. Tuesday, Sept. 8 — 2:20 trot; 2:25 pace; 2:25 trot for three-year-olds and under; 2:07 pace. Wednesday, Sept. 9 — 2:17 pace; 2:13 trot; Western Horseman stake for three-year-old pacer;s; 2:24 trot. Thursday, Sept. 10.—2:12 pace; 2:10 trot; Western Horseman stake for three-year-old trotters; 2:09 pace. Friday, Sept. 11.—2:17 trot; 2:20 pace; 2:07 trot; Free-for-all pace. The races will begin at 1 p. m. each day. The Indianapolis Military Band will give concerts, and vaudeville features will be seen between heats. KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Prof. E. E.

POULTRY RAISING FOR PROFITS TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. —The changing character of the many industries understood than in the attitude of farmers and truck farmers toward the raising of poultry, cattle and other livestock of the country has become more of a business within the last twenty years than ever before. The increasing number of the county fair have always paid a great deal of attention to fowls. The railroad companies bear out this report, indicates that the business of raising poultry has increased almost every year. The county fair has only to keep an eye on the crates carrying chickens, geese, turkeys and ducks through the fields. It is important to appreciate the growing importance of the business of raising and marketing fowl. In certain areas are as numerous as truck farms: in fact many trunks farmers carry poultry along with the cultivation of vegetables. NEWS OF MURPHYSBORO, ILL. Treat Your Scalp!

It is now being said that Bishop Walters is in favor of a Negro party. Perhaps the bishop is not correctly reported. England is proving the policeman of the seas. She will keep commerce afloat. O, you dreadnoughts! These cool bracing nights are very suggestive of the coming months. Better take inventory of the coal bin. Prof. W. E. Grubbs is in Ohio in the interest of The Freeman. This publication will feel grateful to those doing business with him. The rain was a trifle late, but not too late. The ground was thoroughly soaked in the vicinity, the late crops are assured, and of which the farmers were so fearful. There are those who insist that good follows everything, no matter how bad it is. They say there is a compensating good some where. We will have to use microscopes to discover the compensating good of the great European war that is raging. The National Negro Business League and Negro Press Association meet at Muskogee, Okla., this month, August 19-22. The meetings are looked forward to with great expectation. The Business League meeting promises to be the most interesting and the largest in the history of the association. This is because of the great' and varied business interests among the Negroes of the section. The dense population is also in the interest of a good, successful meeting. We regret the defeat of our old friend, Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, in his effort to be returned to the United States Senate. He was beaten for the nomination by Warren G. Harding, of Marion. We hoped to see Mr. Foraker successful, but did not see much chance for him owing to the rather forward movement of the principal parties, and with which the ex-Senator did not seem to care to keep pace. He was a staunch friend of the Negroes, and owing to this we regret his failure. Editor Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, is very much interested in the National Independent Political League. A call for a meeting has been sent out from Boston together with much supplementary literature. The meeting this year, will be held at Bethel, A. M. E. church, New York City, September 7, 8 and 9. The purposes of the organization, in the main, is to secure justice and fair treatment for the Negro race irrespective of party affiliation. The league made a telling fight against segregation in the government offices at Washington. It is still enlisted in the cause, fighting segregation wherever it shows its ugly form. Delegations are expected from all sections, from organizations of all kinds. A great and successful meeting is anticipated. It looks as if Mexico has learned a lesson of the great war now on in Europe. The warring factions have gotten together, and in the interest of Mexico and not for the benefit of the war chiefs. That country is assured peace as our country is assured peace when the leaders curb their ambitions. It's only a greatly oppressed people that rises in revolt. The masses are in for good, careful government, and which only can come through good, careful officials, who are no more or less than the people's further selves. As long as offices hang out as prizes to be won by any means whatsoever then we will have our Mexican situations and our Haitian situations. Mexico will prosper and be happy as Switzerland is prosperous and happy when its leaders are imbued deeply with a feeling of sacrifice, surrendering the personal egoism to the good of the state. The colored people of Savanah, Ga., recently dedicated a $12,000 library, the gift of Andrew Carnegie. The land was purchased by popular subscription by white and colored people. Separate libraries, while not in accord with the races idea of citizenship, or the American idea, yet they fit in well where prejudice is strong against the race. In such localities, we would think, such institutions would be preferred. In fact, there is much that makes for race pride that comes of them. Freedom from embarrassment due to slights and taunts is something. And the magnificent structure of propepulation in these magnificent structures is also something. And then, too, there follows employment of the race, thus money and experience is gained. These are cases where good results of bad situations. WANTS SOME RACE QUESTIONS PLAINLY ANSWERED. Some one, a race loving individual, we would think, has written to this publication, asking several questions along racial lines. He wishes the solution of the question, relying on our experience, to be that he has so much confidence in us. but at that, we would not have him understand that our judgment and opinion are worth more than that of those who have had similar opportunities, advantages and experiences. Not that the sum of these is always infallible, but as the world goes, we are governed and guided by those whose opportunities, advantages and experiences have been best. So what we may have to say at any time will be in accord with our understanding and that of those we have mentioned, but of those arise the need to borrow Israel Zangwell's expression, comes that concensus of opinions that makes for the rules of a people. The individual writes that he is not scholarly, meaning, perhaps, that he would have his information set forth explicitly—simplified—so that he that runs may read. There are some questions that will not yield to simple treatment, that is, to a treatment that comes within the knowledge of wholly unlearned persons. When Liszt wrote his musical compositions he refused to condescend to put them in the ordinary keys—his sense of the dignity of his work. It is somewhat different with editorial writers, yet much of what they do refuses to be clothed in every-day terms. When great cases are at stairs, men are condescended as they move along, in speech or when writing. The language then is usually of small words, of small expression, such as quickest fly to the mind. They are not governed so much by the calibre of their hearer's intelligence; the effort is to make a plain unmistakable case. Large words and expressions, many of them, coming close together, seem out of place in an argument of earnestness or sincerity, but they are not altogether disregarded even then. Take the race question, for instance. To see it discussed in lengthy words and winding expressions would be to kill the life in it. But that does not mean that there shall not be strong, virile expressions, indicative of manhood and resolution. When we say that the pen is mightier than the sword we have such words and expressions in mind. It does not mean to be of the Uriah type, but to be of a good strong English word used in the right place stabs like an Italian'sponge. Perhaps the writer did not mean to draw us out in the direction we have taken. But at that, it's not love's labor lost, since the question of words and expressions are not a new theme. Many times we have heard it said that colored people try to use such big words when they talk. And some of them do, so much so that the stage, very often, sets forward in burlesque, that quality of the Negro race. However, the old order passeth away. Writers and speakers are pruning their words in the interest of their themes. At another time the writer's questions will be set forth. THE HANDS OF THE WORLD ARE TIED. Usually when there's combat between individuals, between nations, it is possible for a third party, or another party, or parties, to intervene by way of kindly influence to put an end to the struggle when its result promises to be greatly disastrous. President Wilson intervened in the Mexican war, and while the intervention did not terminate as it was expected, since Carranza, the revolutionist, so-called, stood out from the conferences, yet the war has ended, so-called, or so. The great powers of Europe of obliged to the working Balkan States and drove them to peace—not satisfactory, but peace. And right here it is of doubtful advisability to inject that apparently wise, old saying that nothing is settled until it is settled right. Perhaps the great war now on would not be if Servia had been allotted the fruits of her victory. At any rate it would have been pushed back, and in the meanwhile conditions might have been simplified. That war was not settled right, at least, by the rules of war which says "To the victor belong the spoils." The murder of the heir to the Austrian throne was thought to have been a Servian act of revenge. The individual Servian committing the act, perhaps, had just such a thing in mind. The act tallied with the feel of his army, and the Austrian ruler saw, it the Servian hostility. War is declared in a hurry—nothing short of war will do. Russia is allied to Servia as a race; it is allied politically The bear growls in manifestation of concern for the little State. Germany is an ally of Austria. King William demands of Russia what it is up to. The Czar did not feel it necessary to tell him. King William demands that Russia stop her mobilization of troops, taking the act as one of hostility to Germany. Russia mobilized right along, sweetly oblivious of Berlin. The German king declares war against Russia. France is an ally of Russia. That country, for forty-three years, has mourned the loss of Alsace and Lorraine, wrenched from her by Bismarck. On Molkis and the rest of Germany, there were nearly humiliated—mourned and would be comforted. It has looked forward to the day when her Germanized children would come back to her, and it seems as if that day is at hand. England is an ally of France. Those two countries have much in common. They are touched by the same waters and on which ride their great ships. They must be great friends or great enemies. Their great air crafts, flying so near, must be engaged in common defense. A war between those countries at this day would mean their total annihilation—smoldering ruins only would mark the spots where Paris and London had been. Perhaps we put it strong, yet it is plain to see that it is to the interest of those two great countries to stick very close together. King George as an ally of France and in the defense of his shores, declares war against Germany. Belgium, the most tragic ground of Europe, is being again bathed in blood because Germany would make a passageway through the country to reach France. King Albert resents the intrusion. Thus the great ball of war is set in motion, and none has power to stay it. Verily, the hands of the world is tied. Those very first powers, and to whom the world would naturally look for peace, are themselves at war. Every nation of consequence, including Portugal, Holland, Turkey, China, Japan and others yet, including our own country, are exerting themselves to keep from being enmeshed in the deadly entanglement THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Our country, through President Wilson, has offered its good offices for the restoration of peace. As yet the nations at war are too busy venting their ancient grudges to hear to peace. The peace god sits haggard, worn and useless on his throne at the Hague, or some other place. Distressed and sick at heart he must be because of the untoward actions of the children of men. How long, O Lord, how long? as they moaned at another day. Until the gulches of the earth run red with the blood of the flower of mankind, mingled with that of children, babes and the saintly old; until the unsated sea has woven its watery shroud about the forms of thousands now in their first blush of manhood, the sacrifice of man to its deep; until the sky above is emblazoned with the white wrath of those aerial spifires, and which send their victims plunging headlong to earth as Miltonic angels. The element of mercy is extracted of the world, and man is no longer his brother's keeper. Peace is writ nowhere. HEAR HIM! Not long since we called attention to what was being said about the Negroes' political prospects in Alabama. It was circulated that the Progressive party had gone further than the other parties in its opposition to the Negroes. The information was interesting, and valuable in a way, since it tended to fix the status of the Negroes with that party, and where they were of doubtful standing. The information was interesting and valuable as history, the placing of the party on record. It turns out, however, as far as Alabama is concerned, that the Progressive party of that state, if it is governed by the voice of its national committeeman, will recognize the Negro voters just as the Republican party does generally, and as the Democrats do in all sections, exceeding, perhaps, the South. Not only was it circulated that the Negroes were not expected in the party councils; it was circulated with authority. It was not merely a rumor. Elsewhere in this publication will be seen a letter from J. O. Thompson, national committeeman of the Progressive party of Alabama. He has repudiated the first call of his party, and which was made in his absence, and without his consent or knowledge. The call is not before us, but the contents of his letter to Mr. Perkins, to whom it was addressed, show plainly enough how the convention was to be made up. Only white men were expected. The letter is as fine and masterly as it is possible for it to be. Really, in some of his utterances he showed qualities of both heart and head which are far more among the white men who are foremost in public life. We include in those qualities also that of courage, making for that trinity, when the respective qualities stand out greatly — that classification — from which the ranks of the great are recruited. When Mr. Thompson was in Chicago at the organization of his party he did not hear a word that in anywise could be interpreted to mean that they undertake by party action to annul the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Here is an instance of a fine combination of a heart and head. He would not read the Negroes out of his party as it meant, in principle, their exclusion from all parties, thus paving the way for their elimination from the general constitution by the example. The intended wrong to the individual is corrected, thus squaring with the best notions of what is conceived to be the duties of man to man. Mr. Thompson is anxious enough to build up a Progressive party in the South, but he is not willing to do a mean thing for political expediency. More life to the man! The intended wrong to the government—the effort to make valueless its tenets is headed off. To assail the Fifteenth Amendment, in principle, is just as vicious as if its destruction were accomplished. The failure is only due to the lack of means. With the striking down of that provision the government loses just so much in governmental potency—efficiency—making for the hopeless appearing condition that Mexico presents today. Mr. Thompson says: "The Negro political question is one we cannot throw off at will. In fact it will be a live question for many years, yes, for many decades in the future history of this country, but it is a question that all strong men must meet with fairness and justness to all concerned." May be that the national committeeman is playing for a great stake, pushing the Colonel for the prize of the political high calling, but at that, what he says is less true. If it has required this rough decision in his political sledding, that Mr. Thompson sings so clearly, then it is better for the Negroes that there has been some misunderstanding. Justice profits often by the quarrels of men. We are satisfied that those of the race who read Mr. Thompson's letter will appreciate his splendid stand. We are not interested in the Progressive party. We think it is without prospects. We think it has no reason for living unless it comes to stand for the expansion of the Negro race. We are interested in its platform as it concerns the Negro. We take it that the larger parties are essentially the same on the larger and more vital questions, before the country. But when a party takes an advanced or a pronounced stand on the race question it is time to look carefully into that party. We dare say Mr. Thompson's letter will make for better feeling in the state of Alabama, between the white people and the Negroes, and over the country generally wherever what he had to say is known. If the Progressive party does no more than make parties and men thoughtful, then as it confirms the race it has done a great victory the idea sets determinedly in, for the ideation of needless civil meanness, it will be stopped until the thing is well done. In this sense, and if it does what is here suggested, the Progressive party will be a success even though it falls in what may be considered its larger intents. THE BEST HUSTLING AGENT. The Dollar Rate is Now On—Which Of Our Countries is in the Most Subscribers? The Freeman Publishing Company, with its large and extensive circulation, will make extra efforts to enlarge its circulation. There are thousands and thousands of subscribers, but there are tens of thousands who do not read The Freeman or any other coloured journal. The field is wide in which to secure subscribers. It is wished by the company that the agents of the Freeman publisher are subscribers is, wide, and that they not feel that they have not done all that they can do. It is very sad to know how little you can do. It is race's members—and some of its up-to-date members—are really fooled on among the race. The reason is this: they do not read the journal devoted to their own interests, and that the "DOLLAR RATE" is now on. "Gust be busy" should be your slogan. Get busy. You know what that means without being told. You and get some more subscribers. Get them. You have been a splendid agent no doubt, but put away the part of what you have done and lock arms with Mr. and get some more subscribers. Get them. You will do it if you set your head to get them. Send in a hundred or fifty subscribers to take a little determination. But what of that; it means something to you, don't it. A good idea is to get some young men and women to work for you and, of course, the agent will reap a profit thereby. Now set your heads to getting subscribers and then get that at a number and then get that at a number or "bust trying." One hundred or fifty—yes, make it even if you want to do we care. The number of thousands of folks waiting to be asked to the Freeman: Ask them. You have from now until the $30th of September to ask them to subscribe for the DOLLAR RATE. The circulation manager says that the question that dawns on his mind is which agent of the Freeman will send in the most subscribers during the Dollar Rate Annuum. In fact, the entire office is anxious to the same. Mr. Agent, will it be you? They are for you and they are pretty and useful. Keep your eye on The Freeman and you will find out what we have for you.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. The height we all desire to scale Is not obtained by chance or luck; But up it goes long and tiresome trail, That must be climbed by work and pluck. Mr. Duley, a colored business man of Baltimore. Md., the present proprietor of the Daley Theatre of that city, purposes to erect a first class theatre for the colored people of Baltimore. The theater, then finished will probably exceed $75,000. While in Philadelphia this summer he had an opportunity to see many of the performers he played at John T. Gibbsons New Standard Theatre. All the acts possessed the same talent and genuine ability most of the performers displayed. Mr. Gibbson is giving his patrons a high class experience and Jackson give a very amusing skit. Both are good singers and are favorites in the City of Brotherly邻. Mr. John Hopkins, of Wilmington, Del. is the proprietor and manager of the Hopkins Theatre there, and gives the show a colorful vaudeville acts. Mr. Hopkins is spoken of in the highest terms by Williams and Stevens are perennial favorites and need no introduction. The Standard twice within four weeks. No better recommendation is desired. Henderson and Henderson are clever and have played the big and little time. Geo. Day, of Smart Set fame, and Geo. Day, of Smart enlisted an AI musical and singing act. John Pamplin, the devil juggler, is in a class by himself. He displays his skills for years have made no impression upon John. He is still at the head of his class. Robinson and White showed their very own talent by playing two weeks at the Standard, changing programs. They opened the bill each week and it was necessary to have a work overtime in order to keep up with the fast pace set by these clever artists. Billy Johnson and Leonzo Lazzo talked and taught in a singing, talking and dancing act. Chappelle and Muse have a classy act. They possess exceptional voices and can sing with great energy. The Four Blackberries won many encores with their singing and dancing. Ed Tolliver and Goldie Chappelle present a sketch of Indian and Mexican life in which they display much cleverness. The sketch they render several songs in a highly entertaining manner. The Chappelle and Jenkins present a whirlwind act that took the audience by storm. The numbers were artistically staged and well sung. And Jenkins have an excretingly funny act. Walter Jenkins is funny and his dancing is immitable. Whitney and Tutus Smart Set girls played eight weeks at the Standard and each week—"A Night in a Cabaret," "The Seven Rosebuds," "Mayor of Newtown," "Gudge and Hodge," "Bill Gales," and "The Gales." These acts were the feature of each bill, and staged by yours truly. Knocking. The most pernicious habit that could be indulged in, that of "knocking," is the practice this habit. There is nothing that has so helped to lower the tone of colored performers or has retarded his progress on this baneful habit of "knocking." White managers have long made stock managers mass in performance. When they get to get into a at low figure all they need do is mention some other act that is willing to engage and the "knocking" fest is on, and when it is over they hire the manager's own figure. In the large cities there are always a number of idle performers who make it their business to engage and the "knocking" vaudeville houses. These performers have no great desire to see the acts of them. Their chief business there is to "knock" so those sitting nearest can hear them and at the same time can hear within hearing distance know they are in the business, and at the same time managers unknowingly encourage this "knocking" game by asking these idle performers to hang around until after the act, and knock the business of the house. None of us are above criticism, but these criticisms should be made by the manager. Knocking hurts twice—it injures the one knocked and hurts the knocker. Come on, boys and girls, let us put the one knocked and hurts the business of one is the success of all. Let us be one great fraternity bound together, unbreakable ties of friendship and loyalty. S. H. Dudley. When Mr. Dudley retired from the stage the fun-loving public suffered a great deal. He is not a particularly funny, one who never stoops to the adjunct of vulgarity to tickle the risibles of his audience. His fun-loving nature is haustable. He is good at repartee and an excellent story teller. Any recitation of his early experiences in show training may be from his speaking of Mr. Dudley, of his enthusiastic Southern admirers said to me: Dudley can't keep from being a showman, but he may be true in the sense that his friend intended, but if anyone takes Mr. Dudley for granted, he will be colored vaudevillians owe Mr. Dudley a debt of gratitude for the great work he has done and is still doing every city he visits. He is the entire cooperation, Mr. Dudley's ambition is the perfection of a colored vaudilley circuit that will include every city he visits. It is a work of great magnitude. It requires time, prodigious labor, much capital, great patience and perseverance, and is now helping others by giving them employment. It is up to these to help Mr. Dudley. I was contracted to be stage manager and thank Mr. Dudley for the boost he gave me with the Smart Set in 1904-5. I was arrived at rehearsal in my brand new $9 suit, which seemed to be a bit too much, and looked so much like a farmer that they feared to en- J. LUBRIE HILL IN CLEVELAND The Empire opened Monday with J. Lubrie Hill offering his Darktown Follies of 1814, in a burlesque entitled "My Friend is the Company that contains many entertainers." The company contains many dancing appears to be second nature to them, and the vehicle provided for them gives them ample opportunity to exercise their talents. "The Matter with Good humor, too, in addition to the music features, being 'Waiting All Day Long,' 'Happy Time,' 'Rock Me in the Cradle,' 'That's the Matter With Jasper Green,'" he says. Songs the audience liked particularly well. The pla yis laid in the Virginia and Washington, D. C., territory. But much more must be given to Edward Bector, Tiny Howe, to David Tiny, and the quartette made up of E. Scott, H. White, W. Smith, T. Ray, being a big hit, singing all the latest songs. They are re-recorded and the tracks Iris Cross sends regards to New York friend Bill Brown is playing straight and is making a big hit. Miss Sally Byrd, who is the star, is very good. Toot Davis is playing the role of Primrose in Disguise, and Edward Bector's singing is something to be remembered. TO ALL THEATER MANAGER- BEWARE OF JAMES AUSTON. Beware of the piano player, James Auston, better known as Kld Auston, a former member of the band played for R. F. Bell at Winchester, Ky. then in Cincinnati at the Pekin, at the Crown Garden, Indianapolis, and at the Kyle, Ky. at which place he remained over the years, never missed a pay day, but left after drawing his week's pay, without giving the management a minute's notice. He was a lady, his room rent and told her several lies. He has no trunk nor a grip but has all his possessions on his back and he is always at any time. He left Louisville Tuesday night after the ld went on to take a position at some theater in Pittsburgh, where he will probably if he goes out to get a drink he usually makes about ten trips during each show, and often comes in very shaky, and may not return, as I have closed many nights, not knowing where he was.

At Stoll's big up-to-date hotel at Schnetach, N. Y., Sunday, July 28, Prof. Baker gave a very elaborate dinner at the birthday anniversary. He appointed Frank Washington to secure a suitable place to pull off this crowning social occasion. The room was surpassed all expectations in securing a fashionable downtown hotel private dining room which the congenial German host especially for the occasion. The room was decorated with palms and ferns, while at one end a large Victoria sent flowers to the proprietor, lected by the proprietor. There were covers laid for fifteen. At one end sat Prof. Baker and at the other end sat Prof. Baker and Prof. Baker who seemed to be very much at home in this capacity. The first to respond to a toast was "Doc" Sam Ford, who was a long-time friend and at the end of his speech presented him in behalf of the band a handsome solid gold watch on Job Baker's tears sponded and told of his great appreciation and surprise at receiving such an ornamental as well as useful token, a gift from Prof. Baker. He most heartily in short but spice speaches. The proprietor who was the owner of the Victoria greeted Prof. Baker in these words, which I think I shall never forget. They were as follows: "I am a man of great interest and I hope you will live as long as you want to." After that he introduced the mayor of the city of Schneckdady who introduced him to Prof. Baker. The especially invited guests were Mr. Miller, the president of Miller's $15,000 saddle horse; Mr. John Smith, private groom for Princess Wenona and Louisiana, of the high school sponded with bright and witty toasts. The members of the band present were Prof. Baker, Mahlon C. Wilson, Prof. Forster, Chas Brown, Frank "Dice" Forster, Chas Brown, Frank Washington, Wm. Nash, W. H. White, Wm. Polk and James Holmes. The very amputated repast of established liquid refreshments, we all voted it the best time ever. After singing Auld Lang Syne, it being late, we wiled ourselves to the day the dream of what a great time we had. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DU LEY CIRCUIT WEEK OF AUG. 10. Washington, D. C. S. H.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATER, PHILADELPHIA. King & Gee greatly pleased large audiences at the New Standard Theatre in New York, and with rollicking action, good songs with lively music. Gray & D Dunlap, in a character sketch act, were pleasing, and it then there were Jerom & Lawry who mystified everybody with their impersonation. They had a good imitation of the singers, no time and sentimental music, won the heartiest approval of the audience, and assisted greatly in the merriment of the show by their singers, no time and agile dance. They made a specialty of melodies of former days and enlivened their program with their charm. They and Hess enlivened with a charm that was "futchin," and Moss & Fryw closed the show by singing their brilliance which are seldom equaled in a singing act. The head line this year is *The Dee* by Reynyn who counts death at every event he makes. His equal has never been known. J. H. GRAY NEWS FROM YOUNG BROS.' BLACK TROUBAIDOURS. (By Seymour aJmes.)

Week of Aug. 17 FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL BUSINESSES ACCEPT UP TO THE MINUTE A GREAT GAME OF BASEBALL PLAYED FOR SWEET CHARITY Indianapolis Colored Business Men Beat the Doctors, Score 11 to 7—H. Dudley Umpired—Elwood Knox and Tim Owleyle the Business Men's Battery—Ward Wilson, Ph.G., and Dr. M. D. Batiste Battery for the Society—Society Out In Fine Style. (By Billy Lewis.) of few weeks ago Robert Williams and the east end thought it would be quite the thing to play in Indianapolis and the business interested in playing at two of baseball for the institutions of the Auburn and the Lincoln Hospice. Bob, as Mr. Williams is familiarly called by his directors and the business men, is working some of them up the pitch where they play ball. They are talking among themselves what they could do, and what they were going to do. They met on August 17th, when arranged with but very little difficulty; in fact, the fellows were anxious for the test. As it always is, there are those among us, perhaps who feel are just as good as they ever been. This is particularly so with the fellows who range from thirty to forty. They feel to demonstrate they can come back, some going so far as to insult them. But you just intervene here. But you just few years—and then tackle the thing again, and it will appear some- Woods, as Mr. Knox is best known, was in splendid form for the first two battings, then he bowled so indifferent; that is if one may judge from the character of the balls pitched. Some were so high that Tim couldn't see them, but he was so low that if he couldn't. It was in the third inning when they both got wobbly. Ward Wilson, Ph. G., pitcher for the doctors, seemed to have all parts of it. He maneuvered elegantly in the box, graceful gyrations and so forth, but he was so low that derringly. It was quietly noised about that he was the only real baseball player out there. He is of fine athlete-mole but it doesn't seem to make him a great pitcher. He enough ball but his goodness was swallowed up in the general badness. He was there playing ball like the set of them is about all that can be Others came in for distinguished conference. There was Young Dod- der, who was a former Mets girl. He drew home attention. Bobson was on hand, however, he was not sure what to do, treative as the others. He was toain.

However, he was useful than ornament- al. Mr. Armstedt grandstand whil he lierge lord building his ability and form. West Smith is one of our somewhat younger set. He played one chase.

Wilson was fired out of the box by the doctors when he began to make it hot for him. the well known A. B. C. pitcher, took the battle's blunt. He was also said he did not help his reputation, bit, bit beautifully and they hit him beautifully. It was a Waterloo for Sapho.

Others came and went as the game progressed—up of both clubs fluctuated greatly. In the sixth inning it began to rain. The rain was merciful—it ended the struggle. At the beginning of the game the usual relay of balls were wanting. A foul over the fence caused a suspension of hostilities for a time. S. H. Gaylord, 2b, first at the characteristic tone that he would call the game in a minute if they didn't find the ball. Knob disturbed the atmosphere with his bat most of the time. Wert Smith made a home run. Dickerson started at first at the opening of the game; he then had to throw to first when he was catching. It was Owsley thought he had to throw inning that they banged Knox. He had to retire. The only double play, Bird to Gaylord, Gaylord to Hood. They both scored respectively. Brown for the business men, made a home run, but he was going so fast he could not see the miss. He had his great run for nothing. IN SPORTING CIRCLES. Milburn Saylor, now in Australia, is vociferously challenging Freddie Welsh through his manager, 'Ray' McGee. Several spectators asserted that he obliterated the question was struck fairly and put the Englishman away. Saylor has won seven races in the international yacht races. The challenger is now at home, gone that far on her trip to America. The Chica Giants beat the A. B. C. at Marion, Ind., August 5th, Score, 10 to 9. Chicago—That he was unable to leave France because of the war was the plea made in behalf of Jack Johnson, the prize fighter, when forfeiture was denied. Johnson was a new bond son, convicted of violation of the white slave act, was at liberty under bond pending appeal when he fled to France. He is furnished within twenty days the old one will be forfeited. the erporter of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, and who was the first to give during Moran's fight, gives a most graphic description of the rounds. Speaking of the 13th he said: "This was the first real showing. Leading vigorously with his right, he only just failed to land and afterwards he got in a smashing jab with his left. In fact, he was doing so well that Johnson's hands approvingly and smiled encouragingly at his opponent Moran sailed in, however, and landed on the ground. His long sounded at the white man's display." Boxing has become a legitimate profession, with great rewards for the man who has been eliminated, but it is still the most strenuous form of personal contact in the sport. The perfect body and a keen mind are absolutely necessary. No boxer can go far without them. At the moment the point where the boxer who dissipates is merely despised and looked down upon as a child, who gets drunk and throws his money into the gutter, or scatters it at the old days any one could name a score of temporarily famous fighters who were notorious for their carousals. Today there is just one. The Chippewa Indians football team recruited a man to the American Giants in Chicago and blamed the music of the band for their defeat. The defeat. One can easily imagine that the Indians were annoyed rather than boughed up by the music. They seem to be made wrong as it concerns the NEW STYLES IN BOXING CONTESTS IN AUSTRALIA Regulate Rounds with Electrical Timing Digits on Monograph Enter- tal Dumps During America is considered up to date in most things, but it has remained for a long time.

The electric timekeeper, the automatic boxing matteines, and boxing taught by mail are some of his chief innovations. The timekeeping device is the most Have Electric Counter. Four dials nine feet above the level of the ring show the public and boxers who have started by a switch, but this once pressed they do the rest. With these is an electrical gong and a counter.

Between bouts, in any wait of any sort, a phonograph is connected to these horns and cannons music instruments, or orchestral instruments, also a feature of Baker's Thursday matinees, where boxers in training so through their stunts in the stadium at Sydney before crowds of men and women listen to the closest sounding stunt—that of THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER teaching boxing by mail—grew out of a course in physical culture Baker was decided that boxing could be taught in the classroom, so he has had more than fair success. WAGNER AND MATHEWSON. Great Opponents in the Great Games. For about fourteen years a certain Mr. Mathewson and a well known genius, Wagner have faced other in baseball contests, and for that many season they tried to outwit each other. They are known as such all over the country, and theponents of the great national game we have, and are known as such all over the country. Mr. Wagner, who is better known as Honus, sports a pair of legs which show a pronounced outcurve. It is generally known that bowed legs cannot stop a pig in an alley, and while this may be so in the old days, it is now trouble in stopping the elusive baseball, which is much smaller than any hog. Any rate, his curved legs do intercept the ball, giving eye, as most twirlers will testify. Now, Mr. Mathewson is just the opposite of the hog, his curved legs to his Teutonic friend and baseball foe. His lengthy limbs show a decided tendency to curve inward, and he wasn't knock-kneed until he began pitching a baseball game against the "Flying Dutchman," his knees quake and knock together and this has a tendency to increase the inward moves of Matty's otherwise perfect legs. To all real lovers of the game the man must have the most positive positions in a genuine treat and is always watched with the keenest interest. "Matty vs. Honus" is the man who has the most positive positions—but the opposing players—to settle back with the feeling that the game is being staged. In the 283 times that the big pitcher faced the great swatter he has fanned him less than a dozen times, he has been beaten against the hero of Carnegie, he has never hit him with the ball, although at times one couldn't blame it. In issuing free passes to his friend the enemy, "Christy" has been rather successful, and deceive the honest Dutchman he has presented him with fourteen passes, and has received the lion's share, about one-seventh of all the free tickets to first base handed out to the man, crew by the accurate Mathewson. Here is what Wagner did to Mathewson in the seventy-seven contests he won in the national. In the 283 times that Honus Wagner wagoon-toed it to the plate he made ninety-three batting hits. This would give Wagner a grand batting average of $22, a glorious record to make off of a season. He must just trust that he failed to reach the 300 mark. Mr. Wagner, who is a shortstop by occupation, is also a great swatman with a great sense of humor and the sinuous curves of about all the noted pitchers in the National eLague and has been eminently successful in the most complicated delivery of Mr. Mathewson. SPITBALL IS FALLING INTO DIS USE USING THE IN AQRQR AQRQR CURBITS The spitball is falling into disuse, very few of the twirlers in the game do, and those who do are using it sparingly. The wise pitchers have cast it aside, knowingly, and have moist fling may add to their string of shortening, mean the shortening of their careers. Jack Chesbro used it back in 1904 when he almost pitched the Yankees in the use of the spitball practically ruined Chesbro as a star performer, years and his success was phenominal. But the price was high, for Walsh's arm injury, and he never knows whether it will serve him the full route or whether a kink will appear and force him to surrender the ball. "Jeff" Tresauel used the spitball to a great extent when he first landed in the arm injury, with such reckless abandon as of yore, Jeff soon learned that 'the spit-ball 'kinked the arm, and he was only emergencies. There are several other pitcher in the big leagues who have thrown it just about a half dozen times during the game. Some of the fans believe they were put in the position practices by the pitchers—of putting the ball up near the mouth and seeming to lubricate it. Batters aren't put in the position practices by the pitchers coming. So the pitchers who have discharged the use of the damping twister, very often bluff at pitching. Good News to the Infielders. The passing of the spitball comes as good news to the infielders. In the years when the ball was frequently on account of the spitball. A pitcher would gloss the ball freely with saliva and slippery elm or tobacco juice, a batter would hammer the ball, a batter would grab it and start to throw, only to find that the slippery ball had gilded from his fingers. Quite often when the infielder was able to get the ball away in the face of the base the ball would take the air with slant and result in a horrible error. WILLIE RITCHIE TELLS OF HIS DEBUT IN THE RING. Willie Ritchie in giving account of his maiden appearance as a boxer, "I entered the ring as an amateur in San Francisco a little more than four years ago," he told Kid Richeson. My opponent was a fighter named Monk Enoch, and I was not surprised. I had had the gloves on only a few times before that battle, and it took assistance from my second opponent. When the going rung it was necessary for my seconds to push me out of my corner into the center of the ring, so badly had the "The first thing Enoch did was to shoot a straight left at me, and it landed squarely on me, and the blood he took in real 'stinger' but it was good thing for me that it landed, for it knocked all the numbness and fright out of me, and batted it round to me, and was slain part of the third, the finish finding Enoch stretched out on the canvas, the result of a bombardment of punches, and I was slain because of an acutomy. My opponent wasn't knocked out, but the punching convinced him that he didn't want any more fighting. But it was more glad because, but I was more glad because the fight was finished, for I was so scared that I scarcely knew what happened from the time we started boxing until Enoch lay on the ring and took the ten count. SHORT STORIES ABOUT RUBE WADDELL—FISHING APPEALED TO HIM. (By One Who Knew Him.) During the fishing season it sometimes was a difficult thing to have a boat out on the water, to be wanted, and Mr. Mack had to think of various schemes by which he could get a boat. Mr. Mack was wanted. Rube told a story one time about some person trying to interfere with the fishermen. Rube had hired to drive through the park. Rube said he had just pushed him away and was going to be hurt. Rube remembered this story of Rube's and framed up a story of his own, telling Waddell there was a man who had assaulted Rube. Rube had assaulted him. Connie said the assault was for no other reason than Rube was the horse's head. In the meantime this man had his head bandaged by an amateur. Rube before an amateur magic trate, where a most comical scene was enacted, where "a man was made to believe that he had really injured the man, and the amateur magistrate considered it a crime that he would behave himself in the future, and not leave the city for sixty days, and not leave the city for sixty days, as the man was improving, and that thought he would be all right in a few days. This kept "Rube" on his good health, quite a while and served its purpose. THE CINCINNATI STARS. The Best Colored Team About That City.

A baute with Freddie Welsh is the only contest which would tempt him to again enter the knockout, but couldn't.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1—A proposed tour in Europe in the fall by all-German and all-Irish baseball clubs probably will be called off, it was said today at the League club. Ted Sullivan, manager of the late world tour by the Chicago club, marooned in Europe by suspension of trans-Atlantic steam saillings. Sullivan was thought to be in England on his tour to arrange dates for the proposed tour. LONDON, Aug. 2.—Sir Thomas Lipton declared today that he had definite plans to become engaged in war, not to race at Sandy Hook next September for the America's Cup. If the race is definitely canceled, he expected to accept Lipton's action without comment, realizing that an extraordinary emergency had arisen. SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 1.—Jimmy Clabby, the American middleweight, Smith Australia, in the first round. The fight, which was billed for twenty hours, lay in the jaw of heavy punch to the jaw did the work by his victory. Clabby becomes middleweight, light-heavy and heavy-weights, Smith outwitted him ten pounds. . . . PARIS, Aug. 3.—Georges Carpenter, France's foremost fighter, joined the army today. He responded to the challenge at the central military depot. Carpenter came unheralded, but his familiar figure was soon recognized by the French team. He watched the assembling of the reservists and the French champion heavyweight was given a rousing welcome. When he had donned his attirements and his uniform, the commanders of enthusiastic countrymen. "I have called off my match with Young Ahearn," the French fighter said. "My country comes first." Ratchin, the South African runner, is not the sprinting marvel of former days. In the 1911 English champion's final, he dashed in 9 4-5 seconds, 22 and 49 seconds, and last year he won the century dash and finished ecdson in the final. In 9 4-5 seconds, he failed to qualify for the final in any one of the three events. MANY FIGHTERS HAVE CURIOUS NICKNAMES. Fans Pick "Nom De Plumes"—"Gentleman Jim" and "Human Freight Car" Are Striking Examples. When the names of the various boxers are near the champion class come to a fight, the boxer variably refers to them with the "handle" or nickname attached, as, for instance, "Turkey oint" or "Billy Smith. In this case of two men of the same name it is used simply to make the distinction. The boxer who has his handle "dle" from his dark and impenetrable way of telling an opponent's fortune and also his successful efforts in avoiding a fight with his handle "Turkey oint" Smith hailed from Philadelphia and got his "handle" from an intersection of streets which cut a path to the other. Other fighters received the "handle" that always followed them by some peculiarity of character in and out of the "Mighty John L." John L. Sullivan was called the "Boston strong boy" in his earlier days and held it against all comers for years it changed to the "Mighty John L." And he holds it against all comers to this day. James J. Corbett came by "Gentleman Jim" in a perfectly natural manners and bearing on a "Chestertief, and some fight fan who had never seen professional gloves toser with the manner and bearing on a "Chestertief, and some fight fan who had never seen minutes of observation, and Jim Corbett's example as a fighter and a gentleman has since turned many a rough gladiator into the gentlest of all men. Bob Fitzsimmons was called the "Boston strong boy" in his earlier days because he hailed from the place where the bird grows, and the second from the close resemblance of his complexion to the bird. He has also been called other names not on record by contestants for his title after he had taken that famous title by him and called "asleep in the deed." Dunkhorst Big Fellow. Ed Dunkhorst, who was in condition at 300 pounds, was called the "human fighter" his brilliant, though brief, ring career was being able to regain his feet after being knocked down without the aid of a block and tack. He called the Butte miner till in his efforts to get a match with Jim Jeffries he called Jeff (who was known as the "grizzly" names and monos) and allied him. The present holder of the heavyweight title, has several "monikers" and noms de-plume, the commones, being the "bull" and the "butte." The butte is another name used chiefly by his colored friends. Reviise One Name. Peter Jackson, the only other colored hevyweight in the championship race, was the only color when spoken of. Carl Morris was first nicknamed the original "white hope," but after his tenure he annexed the descriptive and permanent appellation of the "original white joke." Sharkey received his "handle" from an honorable discharge he got from Uncle Sam's naval ward, probably owing to his peculiar aver- sion toward being separated from the first dollar he ever made. was called the 'Trish giant', but the 'Trish giant' was the heavyweight championship.
