The price asked for the new property is about $6,000, and real estate is priced at $1,000, more than the bargain at the future. The site is being the line of business development of the artery of the great North- west, and Zion officials have long desired to have a permanent house of worship and a church.

THREE-DAY NATIONAL CONFER ENCE OF COLORED AMERIC ANS AGAINST MOSCRIP- TION FOR THEIR RACE AND COLOR. BETHEL CHURCH, NEW YORK CITY, SEPT. 7, 1914. Call for Seventh Annual Meeting of National Independent Political Hillburn, N. Y., Aug. 5, 1914. Dear Fellow Comrades—The preliminary call for the seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political League has already been published in several issues of the Guardian and other of our papers. The call, however, was issued before the exact and place for the meeting could be determined. Now that it is settled as to when and where we shall convene, it remains only to announce the same and to add a brief word of earnest appeal to our people in all sections of the United States to awake and to get together in self-defense of their own most vital civil, social, and political interests. We feel particularly fortunate in being able to announce that the seventh annual meeting of the N. I. U. L. is to be held in New York City, in the new edifice of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. B. W. Arnett, D. D., 18 pastor. We are to meet on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the 7th, 8th and 9th, just previous to the great national Baptist convention to be held in the city of Philadelphia. The Prime Objects. The determined purpose of the League is to assist in leading our Negro-American population out of poverty and to promote the equal and eternal war against any and all kinds of segregation based on race or color, and to return to the true and true of the United States. These needed reforms cannot, we believe, be successfully accomplished. While we appreciate their interest and welcome their assistance, we know that They who would be free must remember that they are not a national of the race, and a fundamental factor in the struggle, produce and follow our own leaders, and we must get to work on the future. Do you, or we can never be free. Do this, our necessary part. At any necessary mass of sacrifice we must create and measure of our people to become an independent, race-loving people. The impression that has hitherto been deceived is built up and published world-wide that we are a child race and, therefore, are not to be dealt with as with other races, is a false claim that the United States is the only race that has been study-out of civilized countries. This false impression has been studiously disseminated throughout this and other civilized countries, editors and politicians everywhere. Such damaging impressions of our people should begin to still be true. We therefore call upon, not only the members of the League, but upon all self-respecting men and women of color who are not the members of the In-struggle for equal civil, social and political rights as American citizens. Come to our annual meeting. Join the League, or give it your moral and financial support. Let all who read this call do all within their power to start the ball rolling into the future. We are not the members of the League, organize branch leagues, plan to attend the meeting, assist financially and in every other way possible. Let us, and every other, work and every and all rights societies send delegates and let us demonstrate to the world that we are determining to be a American free Personal to our Readers: Will you individually attend the annual meeting? Please indicate your person(s)? Form them into a local branch manager. This section delegates the Answer R. C. R.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, IS NO MEAN CITY Is Situated on the Banks of the Scioto River and is Near the Geographical Center of the State IT HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 200,000 SOULS IT HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 200,000 SOULS The Estimated Colored Population of the "Buckeye" Capital is 25,000, and is Scattered in All Sections of the City—Was a Station on the Underground Railroad Before the War—There are Probably More Colored Students who Attend the State University than Attend Any Other State University. (By Nahum Daniel Brascher.) The other day a friend told me a letter addressed to him from New York city, as Mr. _____ Columbus, came direct to his office in Columbus, Ohio. He generously gave the compliment to the city. So it may be accepted without fear of contradiction that Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, is no mean city. He banks the banks of the Sciota River, near the center of the state, it is a busy axis in the progress of Ohio. Columbus is a picked capitol city. The Legislature of the state of Ohio selected this point as the place for a state capitol. The capitol at that time was in Chillicothe. In 1812 the city of Columbus was founded. In 1912, the centenary was celebrated. Within 100 years, from a barren spot where once the rambling Indian trot, to a thriving, progressive, aggressive American city of 200,000 population; where in the chapters of the great history of the British state the capitol is the Columbus to be described to you. Sturdy men and women formed the pioneer population of the new capital. Men and women, Godfearing and earnest. So the place at once became a mecca for those of high ideals seeking an opportunity to be successful. History records that many negro men and women were among the earliest settlers here, and many of them were unusual opportunities to advance. State Buildings Grouped. Columbus was one of the famous underground stations and many a plumber placed a factory here on his way to Canada and freedom. One of the unusual things that adds to Columbus as a capital city, is the grouping here of a majority of the employees of the city, adds to the population by bringing thousands of employees from all the states to the transient population. Excepting Cleveland and Cincinnati, Columbus has several times more visitations than the other cities. Columbus is the third city in population in the state. The city are visited by all those who go on sightseeing tours. Among these are the capitol building, the Deaf and Dumb; Feeble Minded Youth; Insane; Blind; the Ohio State University; and Feeble Square. But Columbus is likewise an industrial city. Columbus-made goods are sold in all the markets of the world, including the department stores. A short time ago a "made in Columbus" exposition was held, the booths being filled with art and factories Square. The revelation of what Columbus actually manufactures was a surprise to the most alert of the factories employed colored men in factories less degree. More where the unions are located. Among the most notable employers are the Kilbourne-Jacobs Company, The Company and the various steel plant. Overcome All Obstacles. The estimated colored population of Columbus is 25,000. Different from most cities, this population is scattered. If the majority were concentrated along a thoroughfare as Central avenue, or business district, Chicago, or Indiana avenue in Indianapolis, few cities would equal Columbus or business district. This, too, dozens of enterprises dot these avenues, and others, showing that real thrift knows no obstacles. affords the opportunity desired from an institution, and the colored students who attend Ohio State University than attend any other state university in the country. The call and the sevy is producing the musical entertainment for Columbus in the hotels, clubs, cafes and schools. There are colored policemen, fremen and school teachers; city, county and state hotels; men, chauffeurs, elevator men, janitors, butlers, teamsters, messengers, delivery men, men in opportunities offered to the industrious. There are more than thirty churches are pastored by men of wide reputation and high Christian attainments, and the workers in the Master's cause, many of whom will be heard from in days to come. The home of Dr. Washington Gladden, the world-known Congregational minister and author; it is the home of the Master's Field, the well known stage folk. It was once the home of William Dean Howell, the author of the novel the other noble men, some called to their Father, and others having taken up new abodes, have conceived their name in the history of Columbus. Race Adjustment. It will not be surprising to know that Columbus, along with the majority of American cities, is the most frequent center. The great influx of desirabiles, together with the depressing spread of colorphobia, have a keenly felt change of favor and resistance to similar conflicts. To meet this situation, the Civic Betterment and Protective Association of Franklin County, has been established to represent the resentative, and thoughtful people. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY-SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50. Attorney Wilbur E. King, second assistant prosecuting attorney, is the lawyer of many people are generous in their thoughts and ways of justice and fair play. He is a lawyer of white people in the world live here. On the other hand, some few of the people are generous in their busy here, as elsewhere, spreading their doctrine of hate, and this condition being felt now as never before. Some of the people are so much to be informed as to be reminded. A gentle reminder is frequently politically speaking, the colored citizen is an important factor in Columbo's case, and he aroused it easily the balance of power. The leaders recognize this fact, and the colonists are aroused. If this year as never before, he is ourber, for the first time in the history of the city, was recently nominated at the House of Representatives, on the House of Representatives, on the Republican ticket. He is John C. He was backed solidly for the people in secret, civic and social organizations. He was backed solidly for the people in secret, civic and social organizations. He is well qualified by education and experience for the position, and his election in November is a matter considerably more than local interest. Knights of Pythians Next. Columbus has always been foremost as a city for entertaining. In this respect it excele Cleveland and Cincinnati, but it has also been the tackling of large propositions, but Columbus does not. The General Conference of the African Methodist Epistle Union, the National Baptist Association, has met here; and next year, 1915, the National Grand Lodge and encampment of the African Methodist Epistle Union. In point of members, the Pythian gathering promises to exceed by thousands, any gathering of colored people in the United States. Also graphic preparations are being made for the great event. Columbus—named for the great discoverer, like him, seeks new lands of gold and silver, and the vitality here which makes the stranger feel like lingering for a while. In front of the fine Union Station a mammoth shed of sign has been placed, and it reads: "Columbus Welcomes You." This spirit pervades the entire community, visitor made welcome, and made to feel at home. Columbus is a great residence city; it is why thousands are coming here to visit. The fortunes of the place. Ohio's capital is as a city upon a hill, and her glories of the past are but for forecast of the possibilities of the future. Columbus—the pathfinder of opportunities. Probably one of the most hopeful signs of success among us is found in the relations of the colored people of Columbus. We are friends, friendly, frank, liberal-minded whosoled people, altogether, lovely to people, frank, liberal-minded whosoled people, altogether, lovely to people can not ask for their treatment or more favorable opinion than they have at the hands of the merchants of Columbus. Privileges of anybody else at such large stores as Lazurus, a cut of whose building is shown here; the street, one of the most reliable firms, over a quarter century old, noted for its honest and square dealing with the business of the Co. in North High street, and other big business establishments. REV. ARTHUR D. CHANDLER, B. D Rev. Mr. Chandler came to Columbus as the pastor of Second Baptist Church seven years ago, fromoring to Torr. "He was a pastor of the Second Baptist Temple" for five years. He is a man with broad scholarship and ripe intellect. He was a Newton Theological Institute of Boston, Mass.

He has planned a great summer vacation out the remainder of the debt, $1,000 of which being promised by philanthropic white men on condition that they be sent January 1, 1915. The dates are last Sunday in October and December, 1914. REV. EDW. L. GILLIAM. D.D.. PH.D. Rev. Edward L. Gilliam, pastor of the Eleventh Street M. E. Church, of Columbus, Ohio, was born in Toronto, Canada, and educated in the schools of his home city. He was the first colored student in Canada to receive a government scholarship in a competitive examination. In 1872 he went South and located in Mississippi. He was principal of several of the largest schools in that state and held responsible positions in the state and United States government service. In 1888 he moved from Mississippi to Kentucky and was admitted into the Lexington annual conference of the M. E. Church. He served as pastor in Awentown, Smithland and Louisville, Ky.; as presiding elder of the state of Indiana for six years; pastor Simpson Chapel, Indianapolis, for three years, and is now serving his twelfth year in his present position. Under his pastorate the membership has increased from 90 to more than 300. He organized the Hawthorne Street Church, which has a membership of about 400; also the Parker Street, Wheatland Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue Churches.

He is the oldest pastor, white or coloured, in point city, the second in city, and if left to the congregation and membership of the church, he is coveted and desirous. He much bovored and enjoys the confidence of all classes. W. E. MOORE. Any one who has had business with the Franklin county treasurer's office during the last 15 years, has certainly seen there abouts William E. Moore, one of the most efficient clerks of that department, since the first of the year, he has been under civil service, and his chances for continuing to serve the Institute, W. Wee, Moore who is an adding machine expert, is officially known as checking clerk, and his honcy that comes or goes, must pass by him. Mr. Moore was born in Pomeroy, O., 45 years ago.

Abong the successful young business men in Columbus, I can point to Mr. Browne, who is with the right kind of qualities in him to guarantee his permanent standing, and who, years ago, but early came to Columbus, at various jobs that a boy could do, such as selling papers, bootblacking, and ornamentation. But he was always a very thirty kind of a young fellow, and began a bank career, failed to add something regular. [Name] ly. He attended the public schools when a boy, but stopped after his secondary trade. Sixteen years ago he began work with Bornheim Tailoring Company, where he was being promoted from time to time, until he had learned all the phases of fashion.

KING. it is conceded generally in Columbus that Wilbur E. King is the strongest most brilliant and most successful man in the country. He is one of those who have come from the ground up, and the most men in the country, and the most musker and speaker. They all say that any case he can not bring to a successful termination is a hopeless one. For the county he has been kept enough to see that it is best to keep him as asso-ciate prosecutor, and that he has more cases and more different kinds of cases than any other layer in this part of the state.

It extends invitation for participation in its deliberations to all churches, lodges, civil rights and litterary societies to send delegates. Address of national organizer, Rev. R. C.

If Carranza, of Mexico, is the good patriot he says he is, he will gladly agree to step aside and permit his name to go before the country, for president, just the same as the other candidates. Villa may be jealous of Carranza's success, but he is putting the proper dope to him. He demands that Carranza take his chances as the other candidates. The hope of permanent peace rests on fair and candid elections. The death of Pope Plus X, the head of the Catholic church, caused universal sorrow. He became known for his splendid qualities, of head, of heart. He was the admonition of the world for his honest humility. He was born poor; he lived poor, and seemed to think it was no more than his Christly disposition deserved. His life was a victory for his cause, the great cause of Christ as well as that of his particular church. His faith will be fortunate indeed if it finds another with such an excellently ordered life. A letter came to the Freeman office a few days ago saying that a colored man, Fred Huston, recently died in prison at Edmonton, Alta., Canada, leaving $1,800. Nothing is known of relatives so the money remains unclaimed. The writer says that among the men there at the time, 1912, were Ernest Carter, Arthur Golden and Eugene Brown. We know no more of the matter than what we have seen. Are we sure that the tip is straight? We took a chance in publishing what the dead man says, thinking that, perhaps, we might rendering some one a good service. In event relatives of the dead man are found this office will appreciate the information. The great war now raging in Europe is predicted to last at least two years. The military experts may be all right in their calculations, but it strikes us that the world is not prepared to stand a strain of the kind that must come for so long a time. The world would be cleared of practically its total male population in the time, excepting those portions not engaged in the struggle. Only a few countries can stand out. Beyond the countries of North and South America, the states which make them up, the world is fairly at war. Australia is English, Canada is English. Many islands of the seas belong to that country, Africa mainly jointly belongs to the warring factions. Asiatic Russia is of great territorial extent. The English king is Emperor of India. These are only the larger possessions. The world is kaleidoscopic with the possessions of those at war. The English have a sphere of influence in Egypt the French in Algiers, Belgium in the Congo states or elsewhere. It means the extinction, practically, of the male portion of the human family if the war continues two years. Europe had a thirty years' war. If it were this day of high explosives and machine guns, and the rest of it, there would not be a combatant left to tell the tale. TRYING TO MAINTAIN ITS NEU- TRALITY. Information comes from Washington, this week, that Liberia, the Negro republic of Africa, is having trouble in maintaining its neutrality in the present war, as it concerns its wireless and cable stations. That country has appealed to the American government for advice. It is said that France protested against the continued use by Germany of a wireless station in Monrovia. Liberia. Both France and Germany have cables to Monrovia. The Liberian minister to Great Britain has formed the United States through Ambassador Page to suggest a solution for the difficulty. It is regarded as probable that when the United States finally settles its own cable-wireless controversy, a copy of the decision will be transmitted to the Liberian government for reference. While our government has acted somewhat as a protectorate of Liberia, there is no true relation of the kind. That country claims the sympathy and protection of the United States for more than half of the Liberian people are originally from this country; and they were set up in government by people from this country. We have no opinion of what should be our government's attitude in event belligerents took advantage of Liberia's situation, persisting in using the wireless stations in defiance of protests. This, however, it shows that George Washington was wise, or builted better than he knew when he advised against territorial expansion. We have done a little of it in spite of our weakness. We can very clearly at this time what the possibility is, because of what has been done. It is very easy to become "messed" up if we have a lot of possessions lying around in various parts of the world. THE UNITED STATES NEGRO LEADS. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in his address before the Negro Business Association, in 1925. "Hon John L. Morris, the Secretary of the Treasury of the Republic of Liberia, a man who has come into contact with black people in many parts of the world, after meeting our people in this country and nearly every section for several weeks, remarked to me that the Negro in America is making more progress than anywhere else in the world. I state this not to tempt us to swell with pride, but that we may note the responsibility that rests upon us and to cause us to double our efforts." The noted educator, doubtless, made the statement as a matter of authority and emphasis. It is much better to have the good things said by non-partisan observers than by ourselves. It is the natural thing for individuals to see themselves superior to others. Races, nations, are constantly asserting their claims to superiority over other races, nations. Even so poor a race as our own assert claims to superiority over the white race in some particulars. And in some particulars the assertions are sustained. We sing as a race, we dance as a race. We are more apt on musical instruments than the races about us. We are better. Perhaps in a few more respects we outclass the white people as a whole. Peoplehes have some sense of their actual standing in the eyes of the world. But the tendency is to exaggerate it, just as the merchant often exaggerates the value of his goods; he wishes to make a good impression. But when the praise comes unsolicited and from those not especially concerned, it may be relied on. The point is to make it clear that we know of our importance over other Negro groups wherever they may be, but the assertion is not assuring unless generally admitted. So when Mr. Morris, of Liberia, concedes that the United States Negroes are in the lead he merely emphasizes our claim. What he says is that he has already knew. But he knows the value of putting forward the conclusions of others, and especially those of persons that count. It may sound painful to say that the Negroes of this country have no near rivals among peoples of their kind. And this is true in spite of what is held to be the great race question, the greatest, most perplexing, so considered, that the world has ever known. And out of this great truth arises this question: Has persecution, or what we feel to be persecution, made the Negro race what it is today? And this question follows: Are we "ethnologically" slothful when left alone. The questions, admittedly, are almost indictments, yet indictments are not convictions. The questions are suggested out of the vast difference between the development of the United States Negro and those of elsewhere. We had something to say last week of Hayti, which seems content in being merely on the map. It has no excuse for lying there, amid warm seas, salubrious climate, without giving a good account of itself. Liberia is different. That country is without opportunity in the best sense. To live at all is something for Liberia. Yet to live gloriously is not beyond a possibility. It is far from contact with civilization, thus it is narrowed nearly to nothing when it comes to exchange of commodities—commerce. It is not given to any one country to have all the essentials to a successful people. Manufacturing and art call for material from various sources, and which isolated communities cannot furnish. Hayti, Cuba, Porto Rico can not hide behind the screen of the lack of opportunity. They are in touch with the world, at its very best. Besides, nature has been, and is, indulgent. They have never known civil oppression as we have known it. Hayti has always had its free class of Negroes—the mulattoes. The blacks have been free from the days of Tousant L'Ovence—long before our civil war. To us, it appears, that it makes a studious effort to be obscure, and perhaps that is its policy of preservation; on the theory that "death" loves a shining mark. We rather think it has no such deep laid philosophic scheme of preservation. It is civil and industrial obtuseness or density, and which has not been rarefied in the refining crucible. We do not Kugweg that those countries be born that they may come up as we came up. We know this, that wrapped up in our degradation, and death if you choose to call it, were also our salvation and life. IN CHOOSING THE BEST YOU'LL CHOOSE THE FREEMAN. We Please Our Readers from Far and Near us. More than Ten Centes a Month. We are glad to hear our readers from far and near continue to say that The Freeman is the best colored paper on earth.

Little Henry does the best in the business—those low-buddy, whisky blues. Goodbar and Lewis do nice work. Goodbar has a fine voice, of operatic bent, but he uses it well. He sings a beautiful a waltz movement refrain, "While the River of Love Flows On." Miss Lewis is pretty and of fine appearance. She gives good assisstance, and she rightly comedy. She also sings nicely. Wiggins and Wiggins, Pearl and Janet, and Janet are dancing. In fact, he is a champion in minutes buck dancer. The team do Doll as she is called, or Doll as she is called, is a doll all right. In the closing he picks her up, nice style, "I'm Crying Just For You." CINCINNATI THEATRICAL With cooler weather and good bills in the mail, we were responded to the new bills, and it bids fair to be smooth sailing. The city is nothing to do, nowhere to go, being misled by reports of work here, only to find that we were seen first. The shows were as follows: The Pekin. Another home boy in the person of "Eddie Gray" received a hearty welcome on the stage of entertainment that was grand. There are few better entertainers and no better time Tri, which is a "whang." Thomas McDonald-Thomas create a ragtime riot, singing, dancing, pianologue, some improv, and a costume. Oh, just catch this act, that's a great one. The Lincoln. This house was threatened with annihilation one day last week when it was raining. Ross be given a vacation of two weeks if Boss Brooks so rules. He had better hide for a while. The people are fearful, and Ross added another good farce. Billy Young being absent, her place was ably filled by Edna Barrett. The vaudeville act, he married & Wife, was as good as ever he, the copy, dopey Chink, she the sweet singer. Notes Something new and surprising can be expected. The two Toms, Cross & Lemons, present Sunday here enroute to the South. The Stewart Brothers arrived here in sections. Section I, Al Stewart, kick some heels to the road, and he kicked the part. Second condition was in better condition. Both were consigned to the Oasis of the theatrical desert; the Messiah of the professional Marion Brothers. Charles Chicken Jones and wife arrived here too late to play the park. It had closed and are uncomfortable. The Messiah of the professional Perrin & Crosby, Stewarts, Massingle and Crosby, and a few smaller acts. Klein should call his acts' attention to photograph clauses, as it will cause trouble. Marlon Williams is on the sick list. J. LEUBRIE HILL'S DARKTOWN FOLLIES IN INDIANAPOLIS- PLAYED THE WEEK THROUGH— A BIG SUCCESS. The beautiful Majestic Theater, Indianapolis, opened up Monday afternoon. Pooled with a seubritch darkkirk football team for their second show. The show has been treated thoroughly by the Chicago correspondent, and an authoritative guide to the show of The Freeman. Consequently it is not necessary for us to treat it in detail. Show, like that of last season, gave general satisfaction. The show of 1914 is cleaner cut, the intent is more clearly seen. This is especially important because the producers together much better than that of any production of the kind so far by the colored people. Blocks together, and yet is facial, permitting all manner of ex-extravagant things if the producers had cared for it. The audience is interesting as they dared to make it without bordering on the serious. As it was the attention was rapt—the actors were all in the spotlight it stood out. Minutes we followed his fortunes of "Jim Jackson Lee" and his people. Julius Glenn, as that individual, is the right man in the right place. The acting of Anthony Byrd was as opportunistic here for much better lines. Byrd's voice is fine for the part, and he is a nice old mamma. He does his work in such a way as to give no offence. Billy Harper and Allie Gillam are as funny a pair as ever lived. They are always in the spotlight, and their friendship do their work. No matter what they say its funny. Billy, however, has had a serious illness. He is in the medical treatment, and hopes to pull up all right in a few days. The characters of "Jasper Green" and "Bill Simmons," by Sam Gaines and Will Brown, were as well done as possible. The monos are the elegant touches of manners and speech, but through it all there's something that looks like modesty. He appears a solid, wise think. He appears a solid, sensible man. One forgets he is a Negro—a thing which is not in makeup, speech, association. These characters are worthy of more thought and consideration. Others, too, are well received, including that of Ethel Wilms, Erma Baptist, Mae Brown and Eile Hallsman. The quarrels the singing of Sally Byrd and Abbie Mitchell was among the solos that was well received, including as a whole was tuneful and sprightly. The audiences were largely white people who appeared perfectly satisfied. in the finale they were out there a bit, as they say, but, perhaps, none to much for a show that is doing burlesque houses. JOHNSON AND JOHNSON AT THE CHELSEA, WASHINGTON, D. C. (By W. C. MALORD.) Johnson and Johnson opened the week's vaudeville at the theater, and it is very fine and artistic dancer. Her steps were very clever. Mr. Johnson is some funlogoholics, and he is a very stant laughter. They are featuring the latest and best of songs. The Chelsea is well patronized and the patrons are very superb photoplay, for they are the best. EUGENE CLARK WRITES. The Robinson's' Famous Shows are back in the good old U. S.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review DARKTOWN FOLLIES AT THE HAYMARKET. Burlesque Wheel Elevated-Anthony Bryd Plays L. Lubrie Hill's Role While the Star Was III at Jack Johnson's Residence. Abbie Mitchell's Wonderful Art- Julius Glenn's Development. CHICAGO, Ill.—Never since the days of musical comedy supreme has there been a colored or white company on the stage, and the dark-tinted "Darktown Folles," in "My Friend From Kentucky," as presented week of August 16th, at the Haymarket Theatre. The comedy company had ever been placed in the burlesque wheel and due credit must be given to the wheel and comedy company only that: there are two more achievements which go with it. In the first place they have robbed the legitimate attraction and made of that field a positive joke. And in the second place they have managed among those of the white race who have far too little of the brightest and more developed side of a colored American's kind of prejudice once apparent of slavonic condition will be more speedily obliterated. And in the science of the white man's kingdom of the past a more sensible view of seeing clearly that the highly respectable and intelligent man is far better than a sporting fraternity and vice solution of a race that is genial in making in what will later be a color-ixed "Love and song must brighten the future way, Where vice and misery had blighted the former duv." Musical Comedy Opens at the New Monogram—Muscle and Laughter What counts in these days is good music, funny comedy and original ideas and good artists who know how to dress. Kid Brown, to put the review in short stanza, is one of the natural funny comedians who makes people scream, and his versatility as a fun builder never gives out. Irwin Miner, the "the stage stand" but in the straight was also a splendid actor and dancer, and in his joke scene with Esther Bigeon, both held the stage from start to finish. Miss Bigeon, who is full of wit and magnetic charm, was a winsome figure. Ethel James was easily at home as an actress and in her vocal numbers more than sustained her past. Reputations and captivated的双� are enhancing. Orena James, a sweet control, was another positive feature. The play, "Mr. Ragtime," is a comedy song review, by Irvin C. Miller and Kid Brown. Most of the music is by Will Dorsey. This company, which is the strongest little show ever seen at the New Monogram, remains for one week only, but has a much longer Hover. He's Miller, proprietor, and Martin Klein, manager, were much pleased. Charles Gardner is manager for the company. Rose Brown, Manile McCrey and Pinkle Walker Score. Just to see a novelty in a female minstrel show staged by Joe Simms, who did not take part, the Grand had a big turnout. Rose Brown, on the chief end, was a riot. Mamie McCrey and Pinkie Walker were close seconds, but Elvina Johnson was the raptime song bird. Maggie Lorraine and Henrietta Brown were also good. Ethiel Kidney made a good showing. Silke Loving, "One Wonderful Night," and Dave Peyton, as a leader, gave his usual calish, the sings of theர் by syncopation and fanning the singers to sleep. Mrs. Harrison, however, was a good pianist in the augmented orchestra. Others on the bill were Earl & Edwards, pretty good comedians. "Esmareda," a fair xylophonist, who syncopated. The other two acts I did not see, owing to lateness caused by long waits. They were Gone man Bros. & Leopold, and Arno Brio of the tumbler. The second half of last week was rained Simms & Walker & Co., in "The Has Been," was a popular return always acceptable. Connolly & Naulty were good dancing minstrels. The Two Georges were great, and Gordon & Morgan made good. The Tuesday song contest, Wednesday's cake walk, and Friday's tango were all added to TOLLIER & CHAPPELLE. At The Monogram—Paucer the Star Talker. One of the best shows of the season is on at this house for the entire week. Ed Tolliver & Goldie Chappelle, in an effort to perfection. Miss Chappelle is a dramatic soprano with a voice of color beauty and her method of singing is exceptional. Little he is, the Terry were at least entertaining in a sketch that showed Mr. Carter as a dancer and Miss Perry as a dancer and her births. Burts Perkins and Mabel Grant returned livelier than ever and created a lot of humor. There was one Trixie Smith, a Southern girl in black face, who is a girl who shows signs of real talent and has a singing voice. She made good and will later be a winner. Among the Movies. The Stars Theater—likely able to keep well filled with "Sealed Order" in spite of the storms. The Lincoln. "Texas Ranger Battle," drew heavy. There was very good attendance at the camp, and the Phoenix had attracted, and the Phoenix had big crowds to see "The Indian Agent," and the Alamo is newly painted for the opening. "The Hopes of Blind Alley" pictures the sunny days pictures at the Star. Jesse Bingham banker who smiles when reminded that he is a manager, though never seen at the camp, and the cent illness. It is rumored that he is to take a trip East either to the mountaintop or sea to rest and build up his constitution. Stage Notes and Stroll News Jerome & Lewis, who are on the Western vaudeville time, arrived in the city en route to Aurora.

It was the oldest in the State of South Carolina. Sam Corker, Sr., father of the deceased, who has been a sea-goining alum of life in the State of South Carolina at the age of 90 years. Only a few weeks ago the elder Corker returned from living in New York in 1895. Sam Corker, Jr., showed a fondness for the theatricals and he had not been long a metroplex resident at the old Daly's theater as an usher. He first attracted attention in 1897 as business manager for which was headed by "Bob" Cole and "Billy" Johnson.

There has been a lot of dir. of work on a little child here when they asked for some called all kinds of names. Weeks. He worked one week to cut their salary $15. They were forced to work. In 1904, Mr. Corker formed for Norman J. Norman the Dahomey Company, a company founded in 1913 principals. This company was taken to England where it played the provinces with great success. In 1906, Mr. Corker joined the "The Shoofly Regiment," Sam Corker, Jr., served in the capacity of business manager, one of the many paintings posted with pride was the securing of a big front page article on Aida Overton Walker in one of the earliest feature stories during Miss Walker's engagement with the "Red Moon company.

Johnson Company, Mr. Corker was next seen as manager of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, returning to New York, where he was town of this unique State street house.

He evinced deep concern in his life, the last named organization and worked zealously to advance its interests. Sam Corker, Jr., was a fitting representative with which few members of the race are identified or conversant—the youngest. And he enjoyed the distinction of being the vice president of the variance agent at the head of a regular colored attraction and he possessed a colorful set of attire of all sorts. It was Sam Corker, Jr., who first advocated that Colerick be extensively in colored newspapers, race loses one who worked incessantly to elevate and dignify the colored American through the medium of the stage. THE DOUGLASS THEATRE, MAGON (By L. B. Maund, Planist.) There was not a draggy act in the fine program of vaudeville features at the theater. Every number had that "ginger" and vim which have awakened the variety of audiences, country, and large audiences showed the pleasing offerings. It is one of the best, if not actually the best, of entertainments provided at this "movie". Miss Marjorie Slipp went big with *Miss Marjorie's Mining to Love You*." The way she featured it had the audience spell bound. Billy Watts and Madam Willis are always received with tumultuous applause. Laugh succeeds laugh. Madam Watts is scoring quite a success singing "Isle D'Amour," also the night Was the End of the World." This theatre is recognized by the motto that patrons as head liner for the best of the show are the manager, caters not only to his patrons but to each and every one of them, the proprietor, believes in giving the public the best that money can give to motto he always keeps his house full NOTES OF THE C. R. LEGGETT MINSTRELS We are still doing fine. We have one more stand in Virginia, then we are going to tour North Carolina. The team will be visiting the state this week.

IN WASHINGTON "Varley," New York's organ of the vaudelle profession, is to have news of colored players who appear in Wash. plays, and to pull off progressive innovations, has arranged the matter between "Varley" and a competent local writer on the theatrical music. Miss Susie Stuart entertained a party of friends Wednesday at dinner at her Florida Avenue "mansion." This is the "society headquarters" for the theatrical artists. Miss Helen Harper Clinto, making her debut in the dramatic world, is one of the handsome girl, has genuine ability and halls from that inexhaustible mine of talent. She is the daughter of Mrs. Krystyn Crossen Harper, widely known as a singer some years ago. Her husband, Raymond Clinton, is also with the show. Miss Gertrude M. Ryan, the affable caster of the Howard Theater, is enjoyable for the weeks' vacation. She will spend a portion of her rest period at Atlantic City. Frank Brown, recently manager of the ill-fated Majestic Theater, threatens to break back into the theatrical game. The Majestic is to be known once more as "The Byjo" or "Bijou," and is to re- manage, with all white artists doing stock musical comedies. It is understood patronage, with all white artists for colored patronage. It is not difficult to foresee the early demise of the new regime. . . . Lylyn Browne and Billy DeMont, one of the very best comedians of the era, are now in their third month in "stocks" at Jacksonville, Florida, and have been in exhibitions and no signs of waning popularity. The reason is that they always have something new to offer and study the tastes of the au- tionists and actors and their acts in sitting style and many their songs and all of their situations are entirely original. The stage is beset with the best of the best, and do Browne & DeMont, and they have no trouble in securing desirable bookings. At the close of their Jacksonville engag- ements, Washingtonians, will likely come to the Howard, presenting a new act that is said rich, comedy and a great close. DOWN IN DIXIE MINSTRELS Alma Center, Wis., August 1, 1914. Minstrels, under the Minstrels, under the A. Thomas, will be in Wisconsin until about October 10.

New York, August 17.—America is the place to hold the 1916 Olympic war prevents Germany from attacking in Berlin, according to James E. Sullivan, secretary of the American military, who will be able message which caused Mr. Sullivan's statement, stated that a prominent English sportsman had suggested that Germany is still undertake the task if Germany is still in the war. "I hope that Europe will be at peace again before 1916 and that there will be a change in the program," Mr. Sullivan said. "A shift is necessary, the United States is the logical country in which to hold the Olympic games, the American committee will carry out the plan planned by Germany without a hitch of any kind. It proves desirable to postpone the Panama-Pacific Exposition until 1916 the Olympic games would unwieldy be held there in connection." "Chicago, Pittsburg, New York and Boston are all available. New Haven and Syracuse, with their big stadiums, might also be considered." NOTES OF A. A. WRIGHT All the bunch went over to Milwaukee, Wis. last Sunday and had a fine time. We all came back Sunday night in an auto. We were only thirty miles from there. We all met Pabst, the fellow that made Milwaukee famous. We should be still going big. Everybody changes along the North-West stage manager and interlocutor is now singing "Who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle." Miss Cleo Pot, "All Aboard for Dixie," and Dorothea Burton is singing "My Tango Man." Mr. Peterson has laid aside of "Floating Downs and Rays" to now singing "The Dangerous Rag." Mr. Sam Kennedy, our Texas Kid, is still making good singing "When the War Breaks Out in Mexico." Mr. Wilds has a new Martin trombone with steel slides. He said he had never had a horn until he got this one. "I was a child until he got this fine. Mr. Tonne Bearfield, our bass player and bass singer, had nothing to do last Monday morning but clean his horn for parade. He put a whole shirt-tail in it and couldn't play a note on parade, but managed to get it so bad to play during the show. Everybody is well and the band regards to all friends in and out of the profession. ATLANTA, GA. Chas. Arrant playing a return date in Atlanta, packing them to the doors. Washburn & Piper open the show. Was a riot. This certainly is some dancing and singing act. Miss Piper, as we all know, has been with some of leading players in the Army and Romans, and consideration on to the champion buck dancer of the East. Hence we know the answer. Fanny Wise, of the Red Moon fame, was next. Her voice was in fine tone, but her eyes were carefully selected. Went fine. Keep your seats for the next act. Atlanta's favorite, the singer, was trombone with his feet, knocking them a twisting. Had the house in an uproar, then them Blues. Keep on playing them, because they certainly sound good to us. Arcade Theatre—Open, but was closed up when Washburn & Paper quit. Could you stand the abuse of Bailey, the manager, the manager, the manager, went and told Bailey he might as well close. All the rest of the week because the bill ain't strong enough to cover the knocking the other brothers and sisters out of work for the week. Don, you can have a lot of stuff. There has been a lot of stuff off here by Bailey. Gardner & Graham had a little child here with them and he wanted salary $15 for the second week. They were very nice. Wayne Burton in the face with a revolver for asking him could he draw some money. Also, toBailey & Green. He even told him not to talk back to him. That was not a white man and northern Negro can be a good friend to him. The Griffin Sisters were billed like a circus. Came in the city and refused work. He got to try and put a sticker to the Grey. They treated our brothers and sisters too dirty. Oh, yes, there was an act booked to work after the Grey. They returned to work after the Grey. They owned the Dixie, the other theatre. Well, all I can say is that if you are coming to work after the Grey and don't let Dan Michael tool you down here. A hint to the wise is sufficient. TEMPLE THEATRE, MACON, GA Temple Theatre has been playing to packed houses since its opening, July 15, 1910. It is the largest house south. Steam-heated throughout for the winter, with perfect ventilation to keep the air dry. It is said by the most scrutinizing that the acting system cannot be excelled. The acting staff and arrangement for the performers is the mostsible way of exposure to weather or cold, making it as we said before one of the best places in the city.

JACK JOHNSON STILL IN EVI DENCE. More Widely Discussed Than Any In individual Living. (By Billy Lewis.) aink, thanks for those sending in matter for this column and page. These contributions are in presenting a sport page second to none in the country. Jointly we are doing it. Respectfully, BILLY LEWIS. In spite of the effort to make Jack Johnson small he is the most widely discussed man that has ever lived out there of Bible characters. Only the first of them was Shakespeare and Napolea learned know Shakespeare and Napolea. I do not mean that of John's name will stand the test of time. Only the name will be more who do enduring the names of men who do are, as a pug- great things live. However, as a pug- great, the black champion's name bids him to outlive that of any of his pred- tors. The name of John L. Sullu was not known to him, but to him, for some reason. The name of John's to the same size, has lined along the past heavyweight of his kind. Old Fitzsimmons is loved to be the one of the most well-known and remembered, Jeffries is lamented and remembered. Burns is regretted and remembered, but above all, he is the name of the man over that of John L. Sullivan. Perhaps it is because he was so transcendantly superior up un- to the time he met his Waterloo. He, in Napoleon's shines right on through the time of disaster. Napoleon was as timcantly uncompensated, though he was so far from him that it appeared as if he and the men of different ages. His greats exalted him beyond the possతు of the mutinous murmur. The history of course, is not complete because of the same nature of the new Napoleon and Johnson. The great difference in their respective fields, only to the commonest of the world, but for the first of the 18th century. In the field as Napoleon. But Johnson in his, is nearly complete, as with odds in Johnson's favor—he has had no severe reverse. Jack Johnson's fights come very fast. Jack being classics. We read with pleasure, pleasurable, and any occasion where heigned. Reno has a meaning of its own; it will not be dragged out for hours, but as pleasant as a reading from Homer. True enough, there is a sense of urgency, as it is in our lives, the drama, tragedy and comedy run very closely together, as will not succeed in making Don Quixote of Jack Johnson. He is not fighting windmills, but he is delivering, and forthwith is delivering; he is the best bit of humanity that has ever been sent into the world. Why shouldn't they make a fuss over him. The stories of what happened in making the champion are still the rounds. In fact, some of the best stories are just becoming so well known that up the many sides of the people of important persons. In this light, and as they relate to the Hero. Here follows some interesting story by Herbert Corya, a sport writer Four magnificently beautiful women in extravagant dresses toward Jack Johnson's sister of the ring the night he fought Frank Moran at the Velodrome fighter. They held each other by the hand and silenced in simulated ecstasy. The beautiful creature! they said each other in French. The magnificent Johnson half turned and grinned at the golden crown, intuitively nearer. The woman through the ropes and stroked Johnson's bare arm. Their closeer with little sprains. Their bare, round arms through the ropes. Their closeer with round shoulders. Johnson lay at his ease, his eyes half closed, as if from which they had frantically gripped the gloves. Johnson's white wife," she asserted, said Johnson's white wife," the four women regarded a rather pretty woman, golden hair, with a black eye. Her opera clerk had fallen back, diving her elaborate toilet. A massacre of three huge brilliants How odd they said to each other's French, as she watched them deflect them they turned to their pratticled and fatty will, they are big and turned his attention from them to the business of the night. Now and then, he eyed the audience, he would see the man or woman he knew. His was answered by expressions of pride, part of the smiled at. The Negro is the person of a certain age. On Paris society. The only seems seems to set the pace for a good part of Paris. There were women in the galleries, but the presence was not so noticeable as in the 250-frame. In the whole, surrounded the ring. In these seats a man not in evening dress looked and abutless felt out of place. At least they fourth man was accompanied by a dissimely gowned woman. Almost every day, Paris might life was mixed out to the way of the women. The Polaire elbowed a baroness. Stresses and nristocrats sat side by side. Between rounds they coldly recoined each other's gowns, with that�s, theology informed by intelligence which marks known criticism in the way of the critic. But half poor and duchess. The only two women who seemed misplaced were a of well-known sisters from New York. They were in coat suits, and the other women withdrew from them. They had not recognized the sartorial There was not a minute in the fight which Johnson was not the obvious master of the white man. But it was a martyr of technique only. Johnson may have gone back or he may have no one cannot form a definite judgest because of his apparent lack of condition for this battle—but he can in middle sonatas around such mate-down as poor Moran. It was plainly never that Johnson lacked a punch. He tried hard to do away the Moran—tried with murder in his time out of the dozen times—and Moran settled. It was not the Irishman's�ill that save him. It was his unable dome. Moran was in as perfect condition as a man could be. But he could not just Johnson because he could not hit the only mark on Johnson at the end of the fight was a bruise on the head, where Moran's armor. He did not have a� and hurt—he looked ability to follow up or failed to be his advantage. Once he lifted his black from his feet with a mop left jolt that landed over the LAMP CAP heart. Johnson went gray, danced off, and patted his gloved hands in burrows. He was ready for that vulnerable spot again I failed to see it. Usually his blows landed Johnson was going away. They looked pleasant, but they did no harm." LANGFORD BEATS JOHNSON IN BOUT. Boston Fighter Outpoints Battler in Ten Round Indifferent NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Sam George and Batling Jim Johnson gamboledங் tarefor a two-hourly, a first-in-a-mining round of unintended milling at the Stadium. A. C. August 12, with Langford having the better of it. Before the bout began Joe Humphries announced that Batling Jim had hurt his left arm, but "rather than disappointment the crowd would go on." It might have been less disappointing if he had been a more heroic announcement. So many hoots he has got, and he has been a good man. He has been a good man during the progress of the both of them, but just how badly he left arm is hurt. Well Johnson did. He was able to hold much more, not enormously with his right. But Humphries wasn't through yet—not but a long time to go to the ground. He had a announcement to make. It was "physician has examined Johnson's arm and pronounces it O.K." And the exhibition for fat men. Both were laced a little too tight, which fact may account for their great eagerness to rest upon each other at every time. Langford carried a sizable corporation. He relished 205 Johnson weighed 224 pounds. As a matter of fact, Batling Jim really showed significant support for his own strategy. He had a long-trained, but Langford generally had been so expreed. The first very strenuously in this direction. The first two rounds were nice and slow and even. Then Langford began to show him the most dangerous man the right. IN SPORTING CIRCLES. S. E. Bean, promoter of Jackie Moore, will take his young fighter to the Pacific coast, where he will meet some of the good ones. He will soon meet Kid Bell, the best colored featherweight of Colorado.

LONDON.—On account of the war the contemplated match between Gunboat Smith and Young Ahearn has been indefinitely postponed, and Smith has sailed for America. The fight had been previously postponed on account of Ahearn's illness and was to have been fought next Monday. It isn't generally known that Jackson Johnson has had military experience. He served for a time in the United States for a year in Texas, in which he was now going on then, and Johnson performed no other warlike feature than that of knocking out a few other privates in the regional scraps. In the early 1960s, Johnson had the army, he was a porter in a New Haven. In the year for a few months, and they say the way he could hustle a trunk was a wonder. While portering around Jack Guggie a preliminary scrap or two, found that the group made money, the ring more easily than in the porter's job, and quit the job to become a regular fighter. Jimmy Clabby will soon arrive home from Australia ready to defend the middleweight title against all comers. Clabby is a New Englander by birth. He has a new weight day in Norwich. Conley July 1890, and in sequence is 24 years of age. He began his public ring career when he was only 16 years old and has had a public job for a time in Texas for a year in the 1960s. He is 56et 8.1 inches tall, has a reach of 74 inches and can easily make 154 ringside. He is a genuine middleweight and not a boiled down heavyweight, as are many of the mantenders for Stanley Ketcha's crown. In the eight years he has been in the ring he has fought more than 100 testimonials of his child. He has been in the trial decisions on points, he has only taken the count once, that being when he was 17 years old. On the contrary, he has been in the trial. On the other hand, eight being in the first round, and nine in the second. In all he has fought 750 rounds, a truly wonderful record for a youngster. Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion, met his first professional Scaired doesn't tell the way I felt when my first opponent in a professional battle. He had no sooner come to the end of the war, and he was so sooner to jump out and dash right back to my dressing room, get on my clothes, and mingle with the fresh air. My opener was a full-size fellow who was Zanadie and the bout was staged at Newcastle. Pa. Zahniser was a bigger fellow than I, and this didn't help my mental need for a whole of his time. He had to do so, but I was inside the ropes and I didn't see how I was going to get out of fighting, so I stuck around. He was so soon to do so, and I was not determined to have the battle over as quickly as possible and made a dash at the big fellow. We came together with him and then, when he was on the thuds, until finally in the ninth round Zahniser stretched out on the canvas and took the count. I certainly was glad when my second hauled me out that ring. Ray Bronson, of Indianapolis, will manage Jules Dubourg, a French midwife, and will be known of Dubourg in this country. In Australia recently he met Edie McCormack, who said that Bronson picked him up. The Frenchman certainly must possess some championship skills and the ability to make him unbestedly to make good use of him in the middleweight division, which just at press day was announced. Bronson, Saylor, their wives and the Frenchman will call August 29 and be in the United States late next month. SUPERIOR, WIS.
