CHICAGO, IL., Sept. 15.—While Chicago can boast of a number of high class business and professional men, not one stands higher in the estimation of the citizens here than Mr. James Henry Tilghman. It was his beneficent act to the Wabash Avenue Association that spread his name all over the civilized world when he gave $1,000,000 to the association. Then other Negroes of us were battling with their subordinates many of them small, this sort of toll came forward amount. Mr. Tilghman was born in Washington, D. C. Educated in the common schools of the District. He enlisted in the United States navy in 1865 and served for the period of 18 months under Captain Eastman. About 1868 he went to New Orleans, La., and remained until 1872, and while there he was appointed one of the foremen of public works under Col James H. Lewis. Returns to Washington under Reconstruction. With the overthrow of the reconstruction regime Mr. Tilghman returned to Washington in 1872 and worked for a time in the government printing office, after which he took up his trade as decorator and followed it. James H. Tilghman. until 1881. He went to Boston, Mass., and for a few months worked in the dwarf apartments at Howard University and returned to Washington. Soon after his return to Washington in 1881, Mr. Tilhman came to Chicago and began working in hotels and restaurants and later resumed work at his trade of decorator. While thus maneuvered he entered politics and was applauded messenger to the city engineer of Chicago, in which place he served for two years. He was next applauded as messenger to Carter H. Harrison, Sr., and for the department of public works until the major was assassinated. Messenger for Lake Shore. He next secured a place as messenger for Enineer Clark, of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and Rock Island and Pacific railways, where he worked for three years. He then secured the position as messenger to the president of the Chicago Telephone Company about 1901, in which capacity he now works. Mr. Tilghman in the various positions he has filled has enjoyed exceptional opportunities and contact with men of the finest breeding and soundest principles of character and culture, all of which are reflected in his character. He possesses lofty qualities, full of public spirit and race pride and his natural ability and rare powers has endeared him to every soul in this city. Reared in the A. M. E. Zion Church, Mr. Tilghman was reared in the A. M. E. Zion church, and early secured a grasp upon the essentials of true religion. Upon his arrival he joined the Presbyterian church, where he practiced the Christian principles until he joined the Holy Nazarene Tabernacle church, where he worships today and is deacon and treasurer. His giving to the Y. M. C. A. $1,000 is best evidence of the charitable principle involved in his character. His benevolence is such that he should be a pattern for our of thanks to help worthy causes for the uplift of the race. Col. Franklin A. Denison Nominated Col. Franklin A. Denison Nominated. The Republican primary presented a political aspect distinctively peculiar, especially in view of the fact that over 100 aspirants for county commissioner appealed to the people for their suffrage. Numbered among them were three Afro-Americans, who all enjoy the distinction of being men of the highest integrity. The daily papers, however, endorsed the candidacy of Col. Franklin A. Denison, a distinguished member of the Chicago Bar, who has held numerous positions of trust and importance. His candidacy was hailed with delight by not only members of his own race, but by all civic bodies, having to do with the advancement of the scheme of our county government. The political signs are particularly hopeful for members of our race as shown by the results of this campaign. Numerous nationalities comprising our heterogeneous county board, inspired a seat upon the county board, each of whom every possible effort to roll up a large vote for his candidate. Col. Denison was fortunate, however, in being personally acquainted with all of the ward committeemen, each of whom in turn used their best office in giving him a large vote in their respective districts. Apart from our difference of political opinion we are all united upon one thought that the election of Col. Denison will place in office a member of our race whose ability is second to none with whom he will be associated and whose integrity and honor will yieldference to no man. In order to retain the ground we have already gained in our political ascendency, we must all together like one man, use every wholesome influence possible to insure his election on November 3. Miss Alberta Booker Visiting Here. Miss Alberta Booker, daughter of Prof. Joseph Booker, President of the Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock, Ark. is in the city the guest of Madame Anita Patti Brown. Miss Booker is one of the most charming young women of the race; a highly cultured musician, refined and intelligent. She is instructor of music at the college, taking the position after finishing the Chicago Conservatory of Music. It was the writer's pleasure to hear her Monday and to say that she was fine, is putting it mildly. Robert Davis Entertaina at Chatteau Mr. Robert Davis, for over thirty years hatman at the Palmer House, entertained at dinner last Sunday, Miss Anna Barnes, one of the most charming women of the "Windy City." Before dinner he attended the American Giants game with the Chicago Giants and at the Chateau was served a seven course dinner with Burgundy wine. His cousin, Cary B. Lewis, was his guest. The three toured the city in Webb's car and enjoyed the day and early evening immensely. Our Legislative Candidates. The recount of the votes of the First Legislative District has finally been completed and shows on their return the successful nomination of Hon. S. B. Turner, editor and owner of the Illinois Idea. Mr. Turner has lived in this state for over thirty years, during which time he has been active and useful in politics. He issued a circular prior to his nomination which disclosed the fact that he had been instrumental in securing over 200 positions for members of his race. His friends hope for him a successful and useful legislative career and if Negroes in that district do their duty as they have done in years past, he will be the next member from that district. Among those who have occupied the same position are Edward H. Morris, W. Martin P. Lane, E. Morris D. Grin and others. The Third Legislative District, Major R. R. Jackson led the field and ran like a Kentucky derby winner. A fight had been attempted upon the part of certain forces who were advocating the election of Dr. W. H. Davis to succeed the Major. Early in its infancy, however, Mr. A. N. Fields, one of our recognized political writers of ability, in a very lucid and forcible article disclosed the fallacy in the Defender of such an effort. This article served to cool the ardor of the Davis advocates and Major Jackson thought this article of such political import that three days prior to the primaries he issued 10,000 circulars in which he embodied the Field article verbatum. It has been said by many that the convincing argument put forth in this article had much to do with the nomination of the Major. It is conceded by both friends and foes of A. N. Fields that as a political writer he easily stands at the head of the class. Event Extraordinary at the Pekin. The social set of our city is looking forward in sweet anticipation to the forthcoming matinee recital which has attained the title of "extraordinary," at the Pekin Theatre, Sunday afternoon, Oct. 11, at 3:30 p.m. M. just a glance at the program gives the atmosphere of an international affair. Not only will some of the best entertainers of this country be present but some very distinguished celebrities from foreign countries as well. Madame Anita Patti Brown will be助 by Miss Anita Balasco of Trinidad, British West Indies; Miss Jah-ha Da of Russia; Miss Mattle Alberta Booker, of Little Rock, Ark.; Prof. Harrison Emuelan and Theo Taylor, of Chicago, will be among those on the program. Madame Brown's musical achievements have made her the most finished product of our race, and she deserves the respect, confidence and moral support of all who desire to advance the highest studies in art. Her amiable disposition and congenial temper has made her a welcome companion to all lovers of music. On this particular occasion her ever scrutinizing eye has brought together some of the best artists in the profession. The Chicago Leader Makes Its Appearance. A new star has made its appearance in the journalistic sky, under the ownership and control of Mr. Hutton, who has several other weeklies in different parts of the country. Mr. Hutton is one of the progressive members of our race and is said to be a man of considerable wealth. It can therefore be said that the Chicago Leader has come to stay and what we have seen of this new paper we welcome it and believe it will be a wholesome environment in our midst. More power to the Leader; may it live long and become a power for good in advancing the progress of the race and reflecting light in the dark and obscure corners of prejudice, ignorance and vice. "Rube" Foster Returns to Chicago "Rube" Foster Returns to Chicago. Col. "Rube" Foster has returned to the city after spending several days at the Falls City. While in Louisville he had the training of the Mohawks Giants, which team will be here soon to play the American Giants. Mr. Foster claims that the Mohawks have rounded out into one of the best teams in the country and that he will wager Captain Pete Hill that his new colts will win over the American Giants. All are anxiously awaiting to see if Foster was able to put some of his old time ginger into the new opponents of the American Giants.

THE TRIUMPH OF A GREAT YEAR OF CONSTRUCTIVE CHURCH WORK. , A Beautiful New Church House—Re- ligious Enthusiasm Runs High. (By Nathaniel Hawthorne Jeltz, of ‘Abbyville, Kan.) Sunday, August 16, marked the opening of a new African-Methodis church in the thriving little city o Hutchinson, Kan., the swinging wide of the doors of a beautiful $6,00¢ house of God, of which the church and race might well be proud. It was a day of triumph, of African. Methodist triumph, of Christian tri umph, a day in which the unfaltering tenacity of a Godly-inspired man, whol ly and solely devoted to the accom: plishment of a great purpose, re ceived its just reward. It was a day of rallying, of African Methodist rallying, of Christian rally. ing. A day glorious in the termina. tion of a nearyear of continual rally: ing, both of spiritual and material forces, in that it marked the coming of the dream of every loyal African: Methodist in the city and ‘round about, the swinging wide of the doors of their justly proud of new church, erected through consecrated struggle, for the purpose of comfortably housing their more than one hundred converts, won to God during this conference year by the inspired eloquence and devout sin- cerity of their great pastor and min- ister, Dr. H. Franklin Bray, a Chris. tian giant, a brilliant minister, a won- derful man of God. He came to us from the Colorado conference last September, to the pas: torate of our then insignificant charge, Hutehinson. “A transfer!” we gasped with fal- tering uncertainty, when the news of his appointment came our way. “What are we going to do with him, or him with us?” Let me hasten to assure the gentle reader that the good congregation, of which I own to being an humble mem ber, was not kept long in suspense re- garding the proposed procedure of the “transfer.” And let me also hasten to assure you that from the very first it Was evident to even the most benight ed of us that the “doing with” was go ing to be done to us, by him, and not to him, by us, as had been ‘the case with his somewhat too gentle prede cessor, Dr. Bray made it known at once that he came to Hutchinson to pastor Bethel A. M. E, Church, and not tc have Bethel A. M. B. Chureh pastor of him. He rolled up his sleeves and went to work, His devoted and con secrated wife soon joined him in the struggle. We, the people whom they had come to serve, resenting some what the sudden change from “ruling” to “being ruled,” proceeded to sit on ‘the wheel for a’ space and wateh them hammer away. They started a revival. We re mained sitting owlishly ‘upon the wheel, looking wise, indifferent. Re vivals to us had come to mean a lot of unheeded exhorting by the minis ter in charge—the while we “napped” uncomfortably in the amen corner; 0 we were not in the least aroused when Dr. Bray and his good wife started this latest effort among us to win souls to God. But, like a flash, something hap pened! Bursting through the clouds of indifference, hanging thick about the walls of “Old Bethel” for a dozen years, shot a burning ray of light, a beacon glow of inspiration. “Conscious of the light, we ceased napping ‘Aware that the presence of Almighty God was near, we got off the whee! and began pushing frantically up the hill toward the city. Nearing’ the gates, we lifted up our voices in songs of rejoicing, looking over in the city ‘through the eyes of faith, we beheld anew our blessed Redeemer, where fore, being inspired by His presence. we pressed joyously on in the work of winning souls to God. We had not seen our pastor until now, inasmuch as we had only beheld the physical import of him. Looking now, we saw him as he is, a mighty messenger of God, standing: before 1 declaring the word of God with ir resistible eloquence; preaching the doctrine of redemption in a way that ‘made the church and city tremble with apprehension. | Soon the strayed, the backsliders, began to wander back into the fold!

The old church building, unwisely located in the center of the block, was lit erally tumbling down upon the heads of the people, decaying swiftly with ‘the weight of thirty years. It had ‘served its day, and served it well, and, ‘as is the inevitable law in all life, must give way now to youth; be sup. planted by a daughter or a son, ‘The crusade for the new building was begun with the coming of spring, April 1, last, to be exact. Since then oi " ad 4 ~ Reus | DR. H.

The ground was solemnly broken and the blessings of Almighty God invoked on a . ae iy . Ben A. ea | ad : 7 a a = Maggie = the plot. The basement was begun. ‘Dr. Bray, assisted by his brilliant choir, embarked upon a mission of raising funds, by giving sacred con- certs of old plantation melodies and readings in the white churches ‘round about. Sunday, May 3, marked the comple- tion of the basement; the laying of the cornerstone by Bishop H. B, Parks, presiding bishop; the raising of more than fifteen hundred dollars to apply upon the building under way. And yet the work moved joyously on. Dr. Bray and his band of singers were received with overflowing houses of enthusiastic friends and sympa- thizers all over the surrounding coun: try, to say naught of large contribu tions and earnest invitations for re- turn visits. In this wise upward of four thousand dollars have been raised to apply upon the building alone, leaving less than two thousand dol- jars indebtedness remaining against the beautiful six thousand dollar struc- ture now standing majestically upon its sacred corner plot, facing the ris- ing sun! And still the work goes joyously on! The great work of construction, of reformation of a city once tottering to its ruin with vice and corruption, but now journeying toward the heights, led by the mighty man of God, Dr. H. Franklin Bray And when the doors of our beauti- ful new building swung ajar at 11 a. m. on August 16 to admit the singing throng gathered there, and when that same joyous throng marched down the carpeted aisles with words of thanksgiving upon their lips, it was the climax of a great constructive ef- fort; the eventful triumph of a great year of constructive church work; the Yawning of the. hour, the coming of the moment when we realized more than ever that we had been wonder- fully blessed in the appointment of our pastor, whose unfaltering zeal, whose unsWerving tenacity of purpose, whose inspiring character and principle of life had made the coming of this, our greatest hour of triumph, possible. And I know I failed miserably when I sought to fittingly dedicate the tri- umph of Dr. Bray’s work with the fol- lowing lines: Today beneath this roof we congre- gate, This building to God to dedicate; With words of song and prayer we meet to break The silence here, to worship, conse- crate!

Misses Mildred Williams, Annie Legrande and Corene Prutt entertained for Misses Alene Rapier and Minnie B. Chappel, of Oberlin, Ohio, on last Thursday evening, Sept. 3d, at the home of Miss Prutt. A dainty five course lunch was served, after which Miss Rapier entertained with some rare selections on the piano. String music was furnished by the band. A very pleasant evening was spent and the guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Miss Nellie Scott, the daughter of Mrs. Leslie Carter, died on last Monday morning at 1029 sub-connection to 7th avenue north. Mrs. Carter, her mother, later had the remains removed to her home on 8th avenue between 10th and 11th streets. Windburn & Tinker prepared the body for burial. Mr. J. S. Kennedy, though an old man, but one of our most reliable shoemakers when it comes to hand work, has been ill at his home, 419 St. George street for some time, but is now slowly improving. Mr. Walter Robinson, who operates a delivery motorcycle for the Wright Hat Co., 1903 Second avenue, was backed into by one of the A. B. & A. switch engines last Tuesday evening at Broad street crossing. It seems as if autos had him blocked on the opposite side and while waiting his chance to cross was backed into by the engine. The amount of damage received by the motorcycle has not been ascertained yet. The Old Plantation show at Delta View Park is certainly doing fine business. Mr. G.

In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to bellittle what it has done and injure its standing and work for higher education, or by a piqued spirit which sees an opportunity for retaliation, or, by a spirit which thus repays personal favors through questionable eulogisms. Or was it real unadulterated ignorance steeped in egotism? We must leave it for readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge. One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments who would strive thus publicly to magnify the work of any one department at the expense of another. And, for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that there is but one department at Wilberforce that is worth while, and to try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmitigated attempt to slander the whole institution, no matter what the motive. It becomes an attack that can not be overlooker. Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of "The Crisis," and has always stamily upheld the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it invited him to be one of the speakers during its commencement; and it readily acquiesced in his selection as one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he eulogizes, at $175.00 for five lectures. Wilberforce University is indeed courteously (?) repaid for this by the grateful editor. One thing we state at the outset, The "New Wilberforce" has been a University for some years. It is Wilberforce University—the whole institution with all its departments and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to swallow up, to ignore, to misrepresent the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the others and fostering their growth, the part that stands for higher education—this determination all authorities here are agreed must not only be condemned but put down. The department which the article in this volume describes is the whole and which calls forth such effusive praise was placed here by the State of Ohio in 1887, because it wished to help Wilberforce University and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was just and right for it to be of service to us as we did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill act, which properly belonged to us, but which share went to Ohio State University. It was never intended to be an independent department and it is not one even now. The authorities, one and all, recognize that Wilberforce University with all its department is a unit and not a conglomerate—a unit with but one head, and that one the President of the University. No departmental head is in need of his "hands being upheld," though the reins of government are not placed in them. The work is laid out for such by law and that work alone must be done. It is rather to do or get out. The article in question is full of distortion. Facts are partially stated or omitted or put in wrong relations. The jumbled confusion of statements, of the word done of things, of the word done of affairs—all them designedly used to mislead a public ignorant of the true relations that exist here and of the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial officer of the C. N. & I. department is combined with that of the superintendency is due to no one's personality. It was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The summary mentioned as given in the last four years by the State includes moneys appropriated before that time for building purposes but not available until later. This increase of funds which has been going on steadily—all due to the confidence of the State of Ohio itself in the management of Wilberforce University is responsible alone for many similar changes in the department referred to. It was required by the State and it thus became a matter of improving growth. Many of the plans for advancement, also, have been in the making for some years, lying in wait for the opportune moment for effective execution. Yes, Wilberforce University has grown remarkably in a few years, but the writer utterly ignores the facts of growth and changes found everywhere in it—the all-round growth that has come from normal conditions of growth. Thus in all departments standards have been raised, faculties have been enlarged, salaries have been increased, means have been gathered to meet growing uemands, and a real building era began. We are proud of our Senior Cottage, arrangements and appropriations for the building of which were completed some years ago by the State; but one would infer from the writer's article that Emery Hall was also a creation of the department he eulogizes. This is not so, however. The funds—over $50,000,000—were raised by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the one of Colleen's department is one especially considered by all authorities to be the "most completely equipped dormitory to be found any where in any negro institution." The Military wing of our university, a cut of which embellishes the article in "The Crisis," is a department that any institution may be proud of, but it is no creation of the department picked out for special laudation as those unacquainted with the facts might regard it from the connection made. But the U. S. government placed it at Wilberforce University, January 9, 1884, when President and detailed list. John H. Alexander, the second West Point graduate of color, to organize it for us. The U. S. government is pleased to maintain it here still, under the best of Negro instructors, paying all expenses. The paragraph referring to enrollment is garbled, so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no inherent power to falsify, but they may be made to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 493. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 100 per cent, in any department to the knowledge of the President of his faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the State (over 300 last year), and we are impressed with the college anywhere is found in the college classes. The college affords the major share of the literary instruction to the department named. Students all recite together and literary students take industrial work, as required or desired. So all can boast of increasing numbers. We say again that the growth is not phenomenal in any one place, but can be seen everywhere. We would not take from any department or person any glory. As is natural we take pride in all our work, but we cannot allow such invidious comparisons to go unchallenged, when, too, know the motive that prompted it. The State of Ohio helps Wilberforce University by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1887 through long years of labor and earnest work of those in charge. We are gratified at this confidence shown by the State in our entire work. We hope for more nept. It is true, however, that the College needs funds, as for that matter does every institution for higher education in the land. It is no crime to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise his hand to get it, but no recipient of such favors should conceive of such a situation. Because of this condition, nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any department which has to hustle to gather funds from philanthropy for its work. With such an attitude and similar statements from over zealous friends (?) Wilberforce University is apt to be more hindered than helped in its work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord, deliver us from such friends!" So, I say that it is not many to endeavor to belittle any department before the world in this case, or to try to impair the usefulness of any instrument for the uplift of the race because of some grudge. One thing you want to article is bound to hurt the writer, to the magazine in which it appears, and the Association it represents, for Wilberforce graduates, undergraduates, faculties and trustees will be a unit in protecting against such a course. Again I say that we do have a "New Wilberforce"—an institution which as a whole is due to remarkable growth within a few years—to a general spirit of uplift and help and endeavor. This oldest school for the Negro that had its beginning in 1844 and that has held the honored name of "Wilberforce University" since 1856—this school "venerable in age" and full of good works is today ONE Wilberforce, not two, and it will continue as one school—new Wilberforce with all its departments under one head (and he is the President of the whole institution), and that head will strive forever, as in the past, to keep all in unity, all in harmony, all advancing. In conclusion I am reminded of two sayings which seem apropos here. Pope's well-known saying, "A little learning is a dangerous thing," (for it turns the head of so many critics), and Beaumarchais' famous (or infamous) advice—"Columniate, calumniate; something always sticks." As I note the concluding paragraph where the writer "straddles" and makes an admission that there is something admirable while at Wibberforce University aside from one department, I am further more forcibly reminded that one cannot ride two horses well any more than he can serve two masters. He will either be thrown by the one or kicked by the other—perhaps both. Very truly yours, W. S. SCARBOROUGH, President. Why meditate? Why hesitate? Do it now and save more time.

ADVERTISING RATES THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1914. Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris certainly holds his own as president of the National Negro Baptist Convention. He was re-elected by acclamation at the recent meeting in Philadelphia. The city Democrats demonstrated in the old time way last Tuesday evening, Marching lines, plenty yelling, and red lights were the features. Speaking by prominent members of the party at Tomlinson Hall was the wind-up. In the recent Maine election the Republican party made the best showing. It could not beat the Democratic and Progressive handicap, but it served notice that it would do so next time. And it will do so unless the Democratic party gets a move on itself. President Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, has just received notice of a bequest of $1,000 by the late Leopold H. Greene, a colored man who recently died at his home in Springfield, Ill. The money will be used for two scholarships and to aid meritorious students. And as it might have been known the United States Negroes have been drawn into the war controversy. The Turkish Ambassador has had a word to say concerning them. At least, it cught to serve as a reminder to those of this country who are always trying to sidetrack the Negroes. The great European war, at this time, seems to be nip and tuck; that is, if we may depend on the dispatches. On the face of the returns the allies are pushing the Germans out of France. They may turn right around and come back again, and as a result they are going plain to see that the Germans must be up and doing if they take care of all of those nations against them. In Portland, Oregon, the colored voters are talking about voting the Prohibition ticket. They are not opposed to the manufacturing and selling of liquor. Their complaint is that the majority of the saloons do not serve them at their bars, and that they employ Chinese and Japanese as porters. They say that these employees can not vote. Thus the white and colored American citizens who do vote are ousted by the non-citizens — Mongolians. It goes without saying that the colored men of Portland are up against a rather hard proposition. The foreigners are there, and must find means of livelihood, even if they are not citizens. At the same time it does look hard to show preference for them. The government is having trouble with this line—to do the Japanese, and to do the Pacific Coast. California has spoken, and in spite of the warnings from Washington. It strikes us that the colored brethren will have to get along the best they can. Incidentally, it will be observed that the race question has no limitations. We said last week that the Progressive party was not setting any rivers on fire. This was before the Maine election, which was held last Monday. The Progressives went back, and the most natural thing for them to do. That party has a splendid name, and if they had promises that meant anything it would sweep the country. This, on the theory that the people are always seeking some medium of relief for what they think to be oppression. Mr. Roosevelt, having been President, and having done telling things when in that office, gave that party a go. Many believed that he really had something different to offer, above that of other parties. But the Progressives on his past reputation, hoping it would serve his ends. He, for once, turned an outright politician, with the worst construction; it was anything to win. In time the people have fallen away from their idol; they find no efficacy in it. Before long the two old parties will be the only real political antagonists as they were when the Progressives were not. NEGRO PROGRESS Speaking of the progress of Negroes, we quote from the Missionary Review a single instance, the city of Boley, Oklahoma: "The latest report claims a population of 4,000, a bank with a capital and surplus of $11,500, and deposits of $75,804.44, twenty-five grocery stores; five hotels; seven restaurants; water works worth $35,000; electric plant worth $20,000; four drug stores; four cotton gins, ranging from $8,000 to $12,000 in value; one bottling works; one steam laundry; two newspapers; two ice cream parlors; two hardware stores; one jewelry store; four department stores; a $4,000 Maconic Temple; two colleges; one high school; two city school buildings; one telephone exchange, costing $3,000; 842 school children; six churches; ten teachers; two livery stables; two insurance agencies; one second-hand store; two undertaking establishments; one lumber yard; two photographers; one bakery and one of the best city parks in the state. The postoffice is the only third-class postoffice controlled by Negroes. Its postmaster is the highest paid Negro postmaster in the United States. The sidewalks throughout the city are constructed with the best cement and the streets are well lighted by the electric plant." Evidences like this everywhere, in more than a thousand places. To be sure, there are not many Boleys, distinct Negro cities, but the same thrift and energy has entered the warp and woof of the country. Of course, there are other pictures that do not come up to this in brilliancy. We may have our thousands who have failed to make good according to their opportunity. But we have our tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, who are neither dismayed or deterred in their onward march to the high goal of preferred citizenship. The simple instance of Boley is a splendid sample of Negro endeavor. It is a faithful sample, a fac simile, and not a spurious output meant to deceive. Black men wherever they are can confidently refer to their type United States of America as progressive, and becoming aggressive. THE NEGRO AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION. The Turkish Ambassador who instigated "that the intimation by Great Britain to this country that she would welcome the presence of our American war vessels in Turkish waters to protect Christians, was merely a 'vulgar trap' to get the United States 'mixed in the European fray on the allies' side," was not above doing a little missionary business himself. After defending the past course of his country toward the Christians, he called attention to the lynchings in the United States. The Ambassador said in this connection: "And since a large number of American papers are siding with Great Britain and France in this affair I will permit myself to say that the thought of the lynchings which occur daily in the United States and the memory of the 'water cures' in the Philippines should make them chary of attacking Turkey in connection with acts of savagery committed by her under provocation compared with which the economic competition of an Italian or the sniping of a Filippino or even the outrage of a negro are as nothing. "Supposing, for the sake of argument, what in reality could never happen, that negroes were discovered to be engaged in a conspiracy with the Japanese to facilitate the invasion of the United States by the latter, how many of them would be left to tell the tale?" And this very supposition that the Ambassador has seemingly struck on is not merely a child of his fancy—the thing has been talked of in this country, even including Mexico, in the possible coalition. We do not think that definite information of the kind has reached the Turkish Ambassador. What he had to say was simply the logical conclusion in view of the supposed intense anti-Negro feeling in this country and the one-time intense anti-Japanese feeling. Happily, the display of common sense on the part of the administration has brought about a much better feeling. The time was, however, when the getting together of the factions mentioned was a question discussed on the streets. At that time this publication repeatedly asked how would this country fare in war with ten million secret enemies. We had reference to the ill treatment of Negroes at Washington by way of segregation. We had reference to the action of Senator Vardaman, who struck at the Negro in the constitution. In truth, there was no serious thought on the part of the Negroes joining with the Japanese, Mexicans or what not. But it was plain to see that they were disturbed by the anti-Negro demonstration on the part of the administration. While they had no intent to side against the government, yet they were being driven to an unfriendly attitude. What may have resulted no one knows if the persecution had continued. We hope that this war will entail a few blessings as well as the plenteous curSES. It is to be hoped that our country will see the necessity of doing the utmost possible for every citizen, and not belittle them and demean them by unnecessary species of contention. We hope that in the hands of any one, and especially is this true if our own government does not forget its duty. THE BOOMERANG. In one way or another such men as Governor Cole L. Blease, Senators Tillman, Vardaman and others are coming to a fitting end. These men won high places by bearing down on the Negro race. Of course the race question was responsible for their elevation. Their immediate communities which they reflected were yet more responsible. These men were influenced by the enthusiasm of their communities, and politician like, they sought wider fame, wider success. But their calculations went wrong. Tillman thought he was doing immensely when he sped over the country, lecturing here and there, ending his speeches like Cato of old, who always closed by exhorting "Delenendaest Carthago!"—by paraphrase, "down with the Negroes!" In time the boomerang came. His wrath was like that of avenging gods. He spared nothing. We were another Louvain, innocent, helpless, hopeless; but nevertheless, we were shot to pieces as if full fledged belligerents. Our sin was, that we were Negroes. He made no exceptions. The unborn fell under his ban of racial excommunication. God, Himself was indicted for creating us. But the boomerang came. The place the Senator sought in history is denied him. The thoughtful white people saw the injustice of the crusade against the Negroes. As an official of the country, one of the highest, he made effort to create unrest among a large portion of the citizens. He defamed them. He tried to array the whole white race against the whole body of Negroes, and which if successful, and carried to the furtherest, meant war of the races. It is charitable to think that he had no thought of war; but what follows if a people are beset by the officials of a government? No: one bluebird does not make a summer. But the Tillman intent was plain. He tried his best to convert all of the white people to nis way of thinking. That he did not succeed was not his fault. But the gentleman from South Carolina has paid the price—the price of "mutiny." And such it was in the effort, even if an indirect way. We have nothing to say of his physical afflictions. We speak of his political palsy, paralyzation brought on by his efforts to force back the head of the Negro again beneath the waves. The general nation has a conscience. We think it is asleep at times. And as comatose as it is, it is jarred wide awake and aggressive when the bludgeon of hate and scorn is applied too vigorously. The boomerang came, and Mr. Tillman has retired into "innocuous desuetude" by a returning force which he himself set in motion. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

This, in spite of a peaceful country. This, in spite of the humble, submissive law-binding Negro, who through all of his vicissitudes has been as meek as sheep. Humble and submissive, yet no mean citizen. His progress reads like the fables of the Arabian Knights. In every direction of industry and art he has applied himself to tolling like old John Bunyan with the race burden on his back. How fitting these verses of Edwin Markham's, "The Man With the Hoe": Bowed by the weight of centuries, he leans. Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground. The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the Who made him dead to rapture, and despair, A thing that grieves not, and that never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox Who disappeared and let down this bruta jaw! Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow? Whose will blew out the light with- in this brain? O masters, lords and rulers in all lands, How will the Future reckon with this Man? How answer his brute question in that hour? When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? How will it be with kingdoms and cities? With those who shaped him to the thing he is— When this dumb terror reply to God, After the silence of the centuries? Now Mr. Vardaman's guns are silenced. The Democratic party is not totally conscienceless even on its Negro question. Its members are a part of this nation and as such are interested, and have a right to be interested in the peace and prosperity of the general nation. Think of war with ten million grumbling subjects in our midst. The Czar of Russia has found it expedient to make terms with millions of his subjects who did not seem to be desirable citizens. But all's well that ends well. We rehearse this history in view of the disastrous defeat of Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina. Personally, we as understand it, all of those men have goodly qualities. They treat their Negro employees humanely. But the race is not to be thought of as only menial employees. We are thankful enough for employment in industry because but none in every direction we do not deserve our citizenship. It is this citizenship that this class of men would strike down.

It appears that there is a school controversy going on in that city, Peter S. Dent, now a postoffice clerk, at Indianapolis, was formerly of Frankfort. He graduated from the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute of that city. He visited his former home a few weeks ago during his vacation. The school controversy was on, and Mr. Dent had something to say in favor of the school of which he was a former member. Perhaps it is not necessary to repeat the assertion of Tolbert's. We will say that the assertion is not true. It put Mr. Dent in a bad light. He wrote to Prof. Jno. H. Jackson, who was in charge of the school when Mr. Dent was a pupil there. Professor Jackson promptly and emphatically denied the assertion of our correspondent. Next week Mr. Dent will speak through this publication in his own behalf. We wish again to impress it on the minds of our correspondents that they are not to deal in slander, hoping to have it published through this paper. Now and then some very damaging assertions get by us. But the public is to understand that we do not stand for them. We wish our correspondents success, but not at defaming individuals.

AMERICAN GIANTS WIN FROM THE CHICAGO GIANTS Foster Wins 5 to 3—Gunthers to Play Sunday. The Chicago Giants who have been winning all season from country teams and have a strong team, tried their skill with the American Giants last Sunday at the American Giants Park. The day was cloudy and the usual large crowd was not present, but loyal fans witnessed a well played game. It was easily seen that the American Giants would win, but Greene and his boys tried hard to win in the seventh inning when they landed three scores. Every other inning the American Giants would bring in a score and the game ended 5 to 3 in favor of the American Giants. Lloyd and Francis, who are leading the batting average, won the game for "Rube" Foster's team, which has had a steady winning streak all the season. Lloyd knocked a three-base hit, Monroe and Gans two-base hits. Am. Giants. H. P. A. E.

The company is said by resident managers to be one of the best Mr. Washburn has ever had. Orien Heurs, who plays Phineas and Legree, is well known amongst the colored profesh. Has been very ill for a couple of days, but is convalescing rapidly. Fred Bennett, on executive staff as purchasing agent, fills the position with satisfaction to all. Miss May Howard, at Lebanon, Pa., met old fellow performers (white) Mr. and Mrs. Pomeroy, who gave her at their home a dinner party.

WILSON, COR- RESPONDENT. We are about ready to bid goodbye to the North for this season and are on our way South for about ten or twelve weeks. On the 5th of Sept we showed Indianapolis, and of course the correspondent and Prof. Baker paid a visit and our compliments to the Freeman office and found ourselves welcome and everybody in the usual congenial mood. Later in the day we were invited in side show by Mr. Elwood Knox, the manager, and Mr. Wm. Lewis, the editor of The Freeman. They in turn were shown the hospitality of both the big show and side show throughout. Mr. Knox met Mr. George A. Connors, whom he known many years. Well, he will say there was a cordial handshaking between the two and talk of past days. I will say that Mr. Knox and Mr. Lewis made a profound impression upon the 101 Annex band, who voted the O. K. and good fellows. Mr. Richard Jackson, an old trouping especially Alexander Parker, with whom he toured England and parts of Europe in 1908, paid us a visit and in turn invited us to the theatre where he is playing traps. After the side show shut down at night several of the boys paid the theatre a visit and found Mr. Jackson surrounded with a very excellent set of traps, including a fine xylophone. He knows how to use them and in a top time will be numbered among the top notchers. The surprise came when a lady came and Jackson gave up his seat to her. It was Mr. Jackson's wife, who seemed to be as much at home with the traps as her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson play several instruments including saxophone, clarinet and piano. The disagreeableness of which I am really sorry to speak came when correspondent, Mahlon C. Wilson, who seemed to be in garden and found Mr. Tim Wiesner, who was with the 101 Ranch band and wanted to see his old friend, Prof. W. A. Kelley, whom he had several years in Pittsburgh, Mr. Owley simply snapped out "Can't see him until after the show," which the writer feels was very unprofessional. The band in sending thanks to Mr. Richard Jackson for the two baskets of provisions which he brought which included fruit of several kinds, candy, cakes and sardines and crackers. Mahlon C. Wilson and W. H. White wish to be remembered to J. W. Wright and Wm. McCoy, of the Sunny Dixie bunch. Tell "Pewee" that Louisville is all right and that we never saw so many of our folks before. They have 'em. Wm. Nash wishes to be remembered to Wm. Bryant, of Sunny Dixie and Earl Terry, of Barnum & Bailey. "Doc" Ford sends regards to "The Drees." NOTES OF SUNNY DIXIE MIN STRELS. (By J. W. Wright.) The Sunny Dixie Mintrels did a good business through Mississippi and Arkansas. This is our last stand in Arkansas. Mr. Archie Armstead and Mr. Henry Walsh join our show at Clarksdale, Miss. Mr. Armstead is doing fine comedy and making quite a hit singing "When the War Breaks Out In Mexico." Mr. Walsh, our balad songster, "the man behind the voice," is singing "What a Fool I Be," and is screaming them. Mr. Armstead is formerly of McClain Stock Company. We played Green- wood, Miss. last Friday night and were highly entertained by the Big Six Orchestra. A. A. Wright, we meet your old-time friend, S. B. Fester, cornetist and violinist and musical director of the Big Six Orchestra, and were out with him and had the time of our lives, and he says write him. Miss Rosa Talmell sends regards to Baisy Gray, and says to write her. Something very interesting to tell you. Mr. Earl D. Clendon, now on Sunny Dixie Minstrels, would like to hear from Mr. Robert D. Walker, last heard of on Nashville Students. He also sends regards to the band boys of Nashville Students. Geo. Taylor sends regards to Jno. Butler, of B. & B. Show.

Regards to Erwin Troubadours. Mr. R. C. Allen, business manager, closed September 7th in Helena, Ark., and joined his father on the A. G. Allen Minstrels. We wish him much success. Sam Taterall says "That's all right, Baisy Gray; you won't answer my letter. I will meet you over there." Harry (Cabbage) Johnson, are you afraid to write for your vest. Aren't you in need of clothes by this time? We are bound for Texas for the winter. Regards to Freeman office and profession. THE PIKE THEATER, MOBILE, ALA. At the Pike Theater week of the 7th the bill was a sure winner, and it pleased each and every theatergoer, Daniels & Daniels were a hit from the start to finish. Mrs. Daniel received much credit for the way she put over "All that I Had Is Goin'". Mr. Daniels with his funny song went big. Mrs. Grare Arantes did nicely. Those came Glenn & Brogsdale, those funny boys, who proved to be just what the Mobile people wanted. Nuff sed. I wish to say that the Pike Theater will be taken by Mr. Billy King, beginning September 21, but would like to hear from all performers at any time. Mr. King's engagement will be for eight weeks. P. J. MECIFF, Manager. THE ELLA B. MOORE MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY AT MARSHAL, TEXAS. The Ella B. Moore Musical Comedy Company, headed by Mrs. Moore herself, the best dressed colored woman on the stage. Chitnitz Moore, manager, opened week of September 14th for a run of two weeks with great success. The team of King & King, Grace and Frank, is one big hit with this aggregation. They are a special feature, good workers, and fine dressers, on and off the stage. Grace can dance and Frank, too.

Others on the bill are Happy Donnovan, Kid Jones, Bessie Turner, Aga Richa son, Justice Jenkins, and others, all doing fine. Milton Times, a white paper where we played Wednesday and Thursday of this week, says this is the best colored and the cleanest colored show ever played this city. Yet they drop the color line in most of these opera house cities. Some come in the colored show in the gallery. We call this band bad, but is the truth. This is a 25c and 35c show, and the old Fays eat it up. Our manager and proprietor, Arthur E. Benjamin, says hello Berry Harrison. Julia is still here and is getting so fat we can hardly get along with her. She says that is the life. Best regards to the Freeman. By F. C. J. band leader. ALABAMA MINSTRELS. The show has just come back from the coast, playing to good business all along the line. At present we are in Texas (some state). The first part is snappy and never allowed to grow monotonous. Olio opens with Willie Edwards, contortionist, slack wire enigma; Alabama Four, Watts, Cheatman, McFarland, Everley. The Pewes versile duo, little bit of everything. Watts & Edwards, comedians of merit, in nonsensical absurdity. Last act, Southern Pastimes, offers plenty of ludricous situations. Son Shaw left for his home, Pauls Valley, Okla. for a short stay. A J. M. McFarland is still with the show and sends regards to Prof. Wolfscales and bunch, Jas. Harris, Wright & Bryant, of Sunny Dixie, would like to hear from Roy Wolfscales.

By special request little Laura Smith will repeat one of the shows, "The Girl of the Streets," that she put over two weeks ago. This is A1 show. One thing that helps this show go so big is that every member of this company are ladies and gentlemen. The public is well pleased at all times when they come to the Lyric Theatre. The bunch get along like sisters and brothers. Well, to tell the truth, we have quite a few brothers, such as L. The time is now ripe for colored musicians. Never before in the history of business playing were colored musicians; they demand. If you are wise boys, you won't be fighting one another, organize, get a acquaintance and get the dough. Moral. If you want to keep yourself out of work, knock the other fellow. WILL MARION COOR W. Henry Bowman, who is a Symantec, J. A. English, V. A. Adams, Sandy Burns, J.

Mr Reaves and his son are well pleased with our show and they always smile the smile that won't come off. Mr Billie Zeek is stage manager and educer, and also books acts for the theatre. Thelma The Great closed here with a two weeks' engagement and he went big with his female个人 persona. Also T. Spencer Fainley has just closed a week's engagement. He has an extra good monologue and singing act, and in parody singing he excels. His return is pleasantly awaited by the patrons of the theatre. He is opening at the Queen Theatre. Chattanooga this week. Billy Zeek wife, Martha Copeland, brought down the house singing "The Blues" and "Mama Don't Know Where I'm At." Oftentimes the show was delayed for her to pick up the tips thrown on her. Susie Hawkton our little sourbread. She was a week, under care of the doctor, but was able to work Saturday night, and made good Rillel also went good last week here. Last but not least is Kid Rastus. Now here we can say, look out, Jack Wiggins and Rastus Brown, for believe me, he is the best dancer ever seen in this city. Billy Zeek, the Southern favorite is still doing that funny comedy, singing, dancing and monologue. He starts an uproar when he appears on the stage, which does not stop while he is on the stage. Cephus & Cephus also Rosa Groves, are here this week and a great bill is assured. The show opens with a grand opening, which all ways brings down the house. They we have the ollo, and last, Billy Zeek puts on a funny afterpiece which always causes an uproar. Sonnie Barnes, the piano player, is sitting fine and certainly delivers the good Billy Zeek is suffering. Cephus counts of his wife, Martha Copeland, having to be called away to the bedside of her father, who is thought to be dying. We all should have sympathy for her in her distress, and may God comfort her in her part of trouble. All performers with open time write in.

They send regards to all their friends, especially to Dinks and Stewart brothers. Can you beat that? No; well, then, all right. Pugh & Pugh, as we know, are among the best in the theatrical world, having played this house last year with great success. Mrs. Pugh's costumes are very elaborate. She is featuring "At the Flower Garden Ball." Believe me, Mr. Pugh is "Buzzin' Some." Stevens & Stevens have not closed a one-week's engagement at this house. Their dancing was the that has been seen in their parts. Their act was clean and refined. We would like to have some more Eastern acts like them. Hightower & White played this house last week. This was their second appearance in Macon. They were four times. Hence Woodard, trap drummer in this theater sends regards to Mr. and Mrs. Wells, the acrobats, Mr. C. H.

Jack Dilahay, one of Cincinnati's popular young men, returned home Tuesday from the Lexington fair well pleased the way the horses treated him. Miss Marion Williams and Miss Lovey Shearp are going to form a sister team in the near future. Success to the team. All the girls of Cincinnati are getting married. Now what's the matter with the girl in the box office at the Pekin? Mrs. Emma Terrell, of 419 Smith street, is out again after a severe attack of nervous prostration. Mr. John Gary is ill at his home, West Fourth avenue. Mrs. Harry Sperlock has sent out a very neat invitation for a birthday party in honor of Miss Carrie White, at Knights of Honor Hall, 621 Central avenue, Wednesday, September 30, from 8 to 12 p. m. Mrs. Lewis, of Smith street, entertained Brown & Pinkey. Those present were Miss Marion Williams, Miss Lovey Shepard, Thos. Gaithers, Col. Brown, and others. They are pretty, and, yes, they are useful, but they are going to be given away. Keep your eye on the Freeman. J. W. HAMILTON WRITES FROM THE DANDY DIXIE-MINSTRELS WITH J. R. ANDSON. We are now in the state of Illinois, where the corn tops and tassels are waving with the welcome breezes.

He is now writing a new first part for his company. Mr. Kid Thomas II is the star of the company. He is truly a comedian, and Mrs. Thomas is also a pleasing entertainer.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE AUDITORIUM Interior View of the Iroquois Theatre, New Orleans, La. Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. CARITA DAY DRAWS CROWDS TO THE GRAND Copeland & Peyton and Marshall & Cumby Score. It was the last half of last week that broke the record, owing to three of the strongest colored acts in vaudeville topping the bill. The chief attraction was Carita Day, whose art in a spooning song and "Just for Tonight," captivated. And her Parisgown, not a split skirt, was a modern design of matchless beauty. Miss Day has lost none of her winsome ways and her dancing was a notable feature. Copeland & Peyton, in a richly set dining-car scene, gave expert comedy and humor. Matt Marshall and Billy Cumby gave convulsive laugh-producing capers and eccentric songs, and the band ventilouquit, and Keno, Walsh & Melrose pleased. This week's bill had Jack Smith and Andrew Trible, in an act already made familiar. Sheck d'Arville & Dutton is a good novelty. Besides a song publishers' contest, the cake walk had J. Arthur Conley leader, Jim and Esther Payne, Sam Jones and Mary Buford, Skip Douglass and Lillian Strother, Coe, Cooper, Jr., and Mamie Burns, and Glads Fisher and Marie Taylor, winners. Fleck Collins' tango had Lee and Erol, waltz and Texas winners. Sabastian & Hale, Stanley & Conover and Allen & James. Shelton Brooks & Clarence Bowen at Palace Music Hall. Brooks & Bowen, billed as "Two Dark Spots of Joy," were next to the closing number on the bill at the Palace. Brooks, at the piano, and Bowen in comedy and song, were the richest ever and made the nouse scream. I took observation of three other acts on the bill. Miss Olive Vail was an art treasure of magnetism, assisted by P. Hans Flath, a pianist whose touch was heavy in light passages, and he gave an unheeded rumble of variations. Fred J. Ardath's rural bliss with Brielle Brite and Charles King, late of the 'Follies," were mery artists. King, who has a personality, sang Shelton Brook's latest song, "If You Were a Red, Red Rose." Tolliver & Chappell at the New Monogram. The vaudeville numbers alone were of great merit at this house, especially Tolliver & Chappell, the two opera singers, who repeated their former triumph in Mexican situations, including a duel. Demos Jones, the fine singing and dancing comedian, and Ella Ross, who was attractive, were decided features. There was also a musical comedy entitled "A One Night Stand," which treated of show people, and the comedian, whose endeastment went home pleased. Charles Elgar, the violinist, is again back at this house and gave better satisfaction than ever, in the new orchestra. Ora Criswell and Other Real Stars At The Monogram. Once upon a time Monte Cristo cried, "The World is Mine," and Ora Criswell can now cry, "The colored folks are mine!" Other real stars on the bill were Stewart Brothers, funnier than ever, for Dink Stewart is always a big laugh from start to finish, and Al, his brother, is growing in art. John Geutrade was another big fun builder, and Miss Price was equal to her ask and attractive. Lewis &amp; Clark were the coolest ever and their dancing was up to the standard. There has now been a violinist installed at this house. At the Picture Houses The States Theater is now an established picture edifice. The house is full every night. "Brewster's Millions" pleased well. Frank Tate,琴利; Edward W. Bailley, Jr., pianist; LeRoy Bradshaw, trap drummer, keep the big orchestra lively. He was also at the Lincoln. The Phoenix had "Shannon of the Sixth," in five parts, and the Washington had "A Maze of Mystery." The Alamo, the Star and Fountain all maintained good patronage. Stage Notes and Stroll News. G. W. Love, of Poplar Bluff, Mo., is visiting U. D. Davidson, the hair manufacturer, of 3151 State street. * * * The prize winner at the Royal Pool Room is No. 6851. It was given out by S. A. Carter, the proprietor at 3027 State street. * * * J. Lubrie Hill left Sunday night to join the "Darktown Follies". Mr. Hill has been very ill. His wife was once called to his bedside, owing to the weakness of his heart from over energy. It has just been discovered that Hill is quite as much of a genius as a writer and composer as any of the actors of the past. ... Richard B. Harrison's winter recital tour will begin in October. He will appear at Charles Street church, Boston, Mass.; Big Bethel, N. Y.; Allen Chapel, Philadelphia, to be followed by dates in Florida and Texas. * * * There was much comment over the criticism of the Light Regiment pictures, but it was justly due to the management. If there was something wrong with the lights on the opening night, money should have been refunded and the house closed. I will have people to know that everything that happens comes up to me and I am amply able to handle the public's end of anything, or even rectify heathen individuals. I went to see the show at the Pekin a few days later and found the pictures to be of great merit and worthy of a run at the other houses. * * * Irvin C. Miller & Kid Brown, in "Mr Ragtime," have developed their play to a two-act musical comedy. They have made a hit to white audiences in the South. On October 1st the show will open under the direction of a well-known white minstrel manager Of the two stars I have this to say: Kid Brown is today one of the best companies acclaimed stage and Irwin Miller, who is well educated, intelligent and cultivated, is one of the best playwrights and producers of the younger school. In fact he was the main writer of plays by his brother, Flornoy Miller, and Au brevy Lyles. * * * Mrs. Carrie Lewis, 10 East 33rd street, mother of Clarence Jones, the composer, gave a fried chicken dinner last Monday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Lewis Buster, of Wilmington, Ohio and Mrs. William Buster, of Mt Sterling, Ohio. Among other guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jones, Mrs. Frank Moore, of Lafayette avenue, Sylvester Russell and Harry W. Martin, a musician, son of Princess Sotanka. * * * Bert Jefferson, late with Chas. Geyers' Dandy Dixie Minstrels, is out with his new song, "Take Me Back to the Days of Used To Be."

Poor cheated girl didn't know: That a personality Men who make a show, Border on rascality Poor cheated girl didn't know. THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THE- ATRE, TIM E. OWSLEY, PROPRIETOR. The Crown Garden bill this week is one of variety. Some high-class performers among the participants. All are good entertainers. Alice is divinely tall and also hand- some, being well proportioned. In fact, she is considered the most grace- ful tall woman of the colored per- formers. And she's not so awfully tat, at that. The song, "Rock Me In the Cradle of Love," was written expressly for her by J. Lubrie Hill, the well-known M. ALICE RAMSEY, Late of Darktown Follies. manager of the Darktown Follies. She and her song became famous when she sang in the roof gardens on New York. She does the number in her own way—the very personification of love. She moves gracefully from pose to pose, each of which is a picture. Her other songs are, "Wonder Where My Loving Man Is Gone," and "Everybody Loves a Rag." All of these numbers are especially rendered and according to the fine conception of her art. Her voice and manners suit her songs. Miss Ramsey makes a specialty of transparent gowns. These add to the effect of her graceful movements. Her work was well received. PERRIN & CROSBY, Featuring "A Messenger Boy" Perrin & Crosby are well known performers, and good ones, as can be seen by their work. They brought a budget of brand new stunts to the Crown Garden. "The Messenger Boy" is a big hit. The boy is done in great style by Perrin, who keeps the audience going with his new and unique sayings. Miss Crosby is a valuable assistant in this work. She is jolly; has a big fund of questions and replies to put to her male partner. She makes a fine straight. Miss Crosby opens by singing "Gee, If I Only Had a Man," which she does in a lively, talking way. In the meanwhile the man comes, the mes senger boy, who proves to be so clever that she takes him on the stage as her partner. Their selling of melodies, songs, was one of the biggest hits known to that playhouse. It was a play on the names of popular songs—the names took the nature of a conversation between the two, and they said some very funny things. They close singing "A Swell Affair." The act was greatly appreciated from beginning to end. BROWN & PINKEY. Both Brown and Pinkey are very clever in their lines. Rosa Brown will be remembered as Lizzie Wallace's partner before the latter retired. The two were noted as among the most finished dancers before the public. Miss Brown remains to the stage, and is still making good in her splendid dances. In her prances and stage caperings one is reminded of the late George Walker. The female George Walker is known to her Stargazers "Come Dance With Me" an Oriental shadow dance. The audience admired her fine ability. Pinkey is as delightful a little performer as one would care to see. She does everything well. She prances beautifully, jumps up and down beautifully, and wings as pretty as if she were flying. She sings, "Smoother Me With Kisses." just as she does everything else. Their line of talk is bright and witty. In this they are particularly refined—in their expressions—the way they say things. They are well mated. They enter singing that musical melody, "At the Ball." They close with "The Croony Melody." Both are well costumed and are of fine stage appearance. OWENS & OWENS. Owens & Owens are good entertainers. They talk, sing, dance. Much of their talk is original. The dances and movements in the most part are eccentric. This is especially true of the male partner. SCORED WITHOUT SMUT AT THE IROQUOIS THEATRE, NEW ORLEANS, LA. Freeman Publishing Company. Gentleman: I write this letter to correct an erroneous impression that might result from an article appearing in last week's issue. I can't imagine how the present entertainers conceived the idea that they are the only ones to score a hit at my house without the aid of smut. The reputation and popularity of this house has been established by the clever acting of such performers as Leonard, Walker, Browell, and Harris, Walkers, Original Rags, Muriel Rigg, Macks, Stovall, Howards, and in fact, scores of others as clever as these, who, I sincerely hope, will not feel offended at my not mentioning their names, as time and space will not permit, but who are always welcome. I only mention these because they have either played return engagements or were held over longer than originally contracted for. Any one seeing the above people act know that their acts do not contain a suggestion of smut and they themselves, and in fact, all other performers who have made good in this house can at test to the fact that no place in the country will an audience give more applause to a clean act with new songs and iokes than here. The colored people who patronize this theatre are in the habit of going to all the white houses in the city, consequently they see and know act or. I have had teams here to be rank failures, not because they did not use smut, but because their songs and jokes were so old that they were enjoyed only by the younger generation, and because they were going to theatre-goers when they originated. Any act that has merit, new songs and sayings, need have no fear of coming here, as I guarantee they will be howling successes and will be held over. Smut has never been tolerated in this house, and for that reason no act has ever made a hit with it. For the benefit of performers who have played my house before it was remodeled, I send this call and hope to hear from them soon, so I can give them an engagement in the new house. Sending best regards to all, I remain PAUL FORD. Reporter Ivonne's Theater NEW YORK AND EASTERN NEWS (By Billie E. Jones.)

Frankie Barton and Picks followed, going big. These kids can go some. Horace George went good. He plays the "Blues" as they were never played before, and is a great addition to colored vaudeville, and a novelty on any bill. Mule Bradford & Jeanette closed, and to work hard to close this show. Mule's "Blues" was the hit on the piano. Jeanette is singing Bradford's latest song, "If One Man Here Can Ease My Heart, Speak, and I Am Satisfied." Bradford wants to know the whereabouts of Washburn and Pipes, and says, write Monogram, Chicago, next week, as he has something for you. Chas Turpin is all smiles this week, because he has once more a feature bill. Bradford & Jeanette paid a visit to the Smart Set in Memphis last week and say these Whitney boys certainly have SOME show this season and that Tus Tuscalo is a great closing number. PASTIME THEATRE, MUSKOGEE OKLAHOMA (By John W. Willom.) Howard & Howard, America's greatest Negro battenberg paper manipulators; C. H.

Very clever for five people. The little company is being managed by Ed L. Howard, the well-known character artist who produced and reproduced some very clever shows. With only five people C. Howard is best suited to serve as a comedian. He hands out his goods in a way that makes him take several bows nightly. Gordon & Gordon have really stopped the show several times during their two weeks' stay here. The female artist of the team is some black face comediene, while Bat Gordon is a dancing poor boy. They say hello to all friends. Okmulgee, Okla., September 21st to October 4th. Then to Oklahoma City, October 5th to 18th. Miss Leola E. Kelsie, Memphis, please write 3730 lasalle street, Chicago.

Care The Freeman Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 To lack ambition is lamentable, to lack ideals is fatal. A swell head usually betokens a small intellect. A "know-it-all" has reached the limit of progression. A "knocker" often receives the hardest bumps. Jealousy and envy are the principal weapons of the incompetent. The worst performer often gives the best advice. Tis better to aim high and miss, than to aim low and hit. Don't forget to write home and inclose a portion of your earnings. For a year, and that once seems always near. By assisting others we are sure to help ourselves. A long head does not always make a critic, or long hair a cirtuoso. If one will attend strictly to one's own business, one will find that business too extensive to allow time for medding with the business of others. Friends we must buy are always Don't forget that good health is indispensable to lasting success. It is well to remember that the success of one contributes to the success of all. Don't give "can't" a place in your vocabulary. This is the age of specialization, one cannot know all. Decide upon your line of work, then bend every energy toward its accomplishment and success is assured. Some performers toot their own horns so loudly that they can't hear the laugh occasioned by their ignorance, and so get blissfully by for a time. Enthusiasm is a valuable adjunct to success, but study and work should be its companions. A still tongue often saves a broken head. Imitation is the sincerest compliment we can pay the work of another. We cannot all be masters of art, and all masters cannot be truly followed. There is no short cut to success. Now is the time to prepare for next summer's vacation. The beginning of a theatrical season ushers many new ones into this great field of endeavor. Various reasons are assigned by such persons for wishing to become affiliated with the theatrical profession. From time they have found a bap- "TWO LUNATICS." A "Dippy Dope" Story, with Apologies to My Friend Willie Woo sweet, (By Lew Hall.) It was the breaking of (Carita) Day in June. The moon was shining bright. The sun seemed to be ten times its ordinary size. The May showers were falling singing fierce. The buzzards were singing everything but the Blues, while the bull frogs were auguring contentions as usual. Willie Tosweet, who was a tall (Allie) young lad, heavily built, with a few grains of hair that grew over his nose, making him resemble a famous hero. After making a barra—so he stuck his mug out of "Uclem Tom's Cabin" door and dashed into the (Johnie) Woods. After he had climbed the top of Lubrie Hill he stooped all of a sudden. Getting down on his bended knuckles he picked up a "Rabbit's Foot" (Co.). After picking up such luck he decided to continue that direction no further. So he (Smart) Set out walking very rapidly to (Thomas and) Ward the (Theresa) West. After covering about (J. C.) Miles he came (Tom) Cross a deadly looking old man that stood weakly supported upon two (Thressle) Leegs. "Kind friend," he responded gloomily, to our hero, an old soldier. I led the charge up Nanny Goat in the battle of "Bull" Durham. But now I'm all in. Could you give me (Ludelle) Price of a sardine? As our hero was about to reply to the latter's question he thrust his mitts in his pocket grasping the "Rabbit Foot" (Co.). He looked impressively at the old castaway and replied sadly. "Take this, old man. I have not any (Alonzo) Moore at the present. But if you will walk over to the house with me I think I can (Zollie) Ford to do better." They departed. Hours thus pass- As they arrived at the house, Tooswet led the way upstairs, pushed open the door. The sun shone in while the snow covered the plaza very deeply. They entered the (Lew) Hall. Our hero sat in his big (Minstrel) Morris chair while the old scout seated himself on the (Mabel) Davenport. Tooswet never moved. His eyes kept staring at his old comrade. "My friend," said Tooswet, "I feel awful sorry for you. Really I'm in deep sympathy. I suppose you are the sole surveillance of the battle of "Bull" Durham are you not? "One moment, young man," roared the old scout ascending from the (Mabel) Davenport. I can't stand it and I'm stomach austress something to eat and eat I'll have. My breakfast was a dream—I lunched on water and now it's 'hot air' (Williams) you are giving me for my dinner. Quick! give me something to eat or I will defy you." The old man's voice rose to a wild shriek as he spoke. Nevertheless the old scout was (J. W.) Wright. He hadn't had a bite the whole (Eddie) Daye. Before our hero could arise, the old man had (John) Drew his walking cane from his scabbard and was making directly at him. Toosweet could not escape. He knew the blow would descend before he could possibly reach his weapon (which was a broomstick). He saw that his situation was desperate. But firmly felt that it was his duty to fight for liberty. He glanced about cautiously. Alas! Again he knew the old scout had the advantage of him. With a great shout of triumph our hero stepped back about two feet and three seconds from his foe. He dashed forward with both fists. Bounced the old castaway on his top- py way to make a living without work. They are mistaken. Others are seized by an unconquerable desire to tour the country. Local triumphs upon the concert stage in the home town lead many to seek the glamour of the footlights. A number are convinced that they have the requisite talent and are actuated by a high resolve to do their best and scale the heights that lead to fame and sometimes fortune. Many would find it difficult to give any valid reason or excuse for being associated with a theatrical company. Colored boys and girls find only three avenues of theatrical endeavor open to them: namely; Musical comedy, vaudeville and minstrel. The first requirement to enter either of these is intelligence. At least a common school education is almost indispensable. A natural talent for music singing, dancing, elocation and acting is not only necessary, but one should have a rudimentary knowledge of all the above mentioned requisites before venturing to enter the theatrical profession. Performers make a serious mistake when they do not credit an audience with possessing as much intelligence as they possess. The lack of intelligent conception is woefully apparent in the work of the majority of colored entertainers. It is not uncommon to hear a performer say when a joke has failed to meet the approval of an audience: "Ain't these people dumb? That joke went over their heads." A careful study of jokes and audiences has convinced me that any joke of merit will go before any audience if properly selected and presented. The same thing applies to music, songs and dances, they must be intelligently selected and presented. A singer who knows nothing of the art of singing is liable to be ridiculed by an intelligent audience. Performers who have no knowledge of music and persist in arguing with the musical directors and orchestra leaders are objects of compassion. The dancer who has made the art a careful study, who selects and routines the steps and regulates the tempo to suit each audience never fails to make good. This is the age of progression. Intelligence is an all important factor. The theatrical profession has only room for such as are in love with their work. Those who are willing to study and are resolved that they will be a credit to their profession and that they will contribute their very best at all times that their profession may be approved by all. piece. The stricken old boneheed wheeled on his heels five or six times and dropped to the floor to take the count. "Hark!" The old boom was out-witted, outpunched and out of his senses. He had taken the count from the powerful blow our hero Toosweet had delivered. After he had recovered his wits he arose from the spot which he had occupied, put out his right paw. [I put it] The "Two Lunatics" gripped each other in silent comradeship and replied together: "If the hen can lay can the "Smart Set?" NOTES FROM WOLFSCALES' BAND —BARNUM & BAILEY SHOW. We are now in the state of California. Everybody is happy and sends best regards to all friends in and out of the profession. This late in the season. All have enjoyed a most pleasant and successful season. The band is featuring "Poet and Peasant," "Light Cavalry" and "Sky Pilot" for concert. As the close of the season is only eight or nine weeks off the boys are figuring for the winter season. Dancing Taggert Hartgraves is meeting all comers in the west at triple time buck dancing. He sends regards to V. S. (Slow Kid) Thompson, Jack Wiggins and Joe Sandifer and wife. Sonny Gray, that boy from the reggae group, Earl Grand-staff and Boppe and Miles Terry, solo trombonist of the 25th infantry, was a visitor to the show at Oakland, Cal. While in San Francisco, Prof. Wolfscale and band were guests of the Colored Entertainment Club at their club rooms. Mr. J. C.

Dudley, but sight beats the world. The Clarks were told not to play the house, but, like real ones, took a chance anyway. Dudley in every respect is a gentleman. He helps the poor and feeds the hungry ones. Hint to the wise is enough. The weather is nice and cool, making business great. The Vaudette. Alice Ramsey, a nice looking woman, with a fair voice, got by nicely with three songs. I think Miss Ramsey should use more judgment as to her wardrobe. The Clarks, H. G. as he and his tall graceful brown are called, came second on the bill, and I must say the act is of better kind than usually seen, clean and nifty. The woman being an excellent talker, and voice great, did well. The act should show up better on some white time. Alonzo Moore, as he is named, gave twenty-two minutes of fast, furious and centre control a magician. He is great, but Mr. Moore should not take those desperate chances in the audience with his tricks. The act is dressed well. He closed the door and was one riot of laughter and fun. This is S. H. Dudley's vaudeville this house uses. The Arcade. The one Ora Criswell in black face, opened the show, and was one big hit of the show.

Address FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS THERE ACCOUNT UP TO THE MINUTE JACK JOHNSON YET IN EVIDENCE STILL BEING RECKONED WITH NEWS OF THE CHAMP BROUGHT DOWN TO DATE. (By Billy Lewis.) When the world is not talking war, it is talking about Jack Johnson and other things. Those interested in sport are keeping alive the topics that interest them most. It has already been said that boxing, prizefighting, is "might go" business right along through here. However, when there is any talk along the line, Johnson comes in for a share. The object here is to give to the readers of The Freeman the latest that is being said about Monsieur Jack. Some of what follows may be considered relish. But at that, it is not our rehash. We go on the theory that news "ain't" T news until it is seen in The Freeman. Obviously this is concent, a thing we must all have to some degree or else be nobodies. I do not mean it quite that way. Many of the readers of this publication depend solely on it for information concerning sport and the stage. So when it is serving up this information it goes on the theory that it is served up by it, the news is still un newswire One writer introduces his Jack Johnson talk in this way: *Name* Fortune is not only a fickle and fritious old girl, but she ain't at all particular on whom she smiles. Witness the case of her outrageous snarking at Jack Johnson, a vain, ignorant, humoral negro, who was, 12 years ago, a leaver roustabout at Galveston. *It* is tricked to talk that way about a man he happens to be a Negro. How unjust some white men are. There are thousands of white men who have come up from mean conditions to whiten they now command thousands of dollars. Why single out one poor Negro, the only one whose financial success has been phenomenal? This writer is envious of the "nigger." He doubtless, is one of those white men who have decided that the world belongs to them and all that pertains therein. Well, we will go on with the story, as further: "It's small wonder that men seek fortune in the prize ring today, despite all the drawbacks connected with the game. One glance at the case of John Arthur Johnson and they staple the cotton bales and the harvest fields and run for the training camp. "Johnson's case is particularly alluring. In 1908, up to the month of December, Jack was just a "busted" fourth-rate black fighter, with a strong inclination to whisky and a large disinclination to train. He had a tremendous constitution and a gigantic frame; also, he had a hunch that he was master of all such 'cheese' champions as Tommy Burns, who put one over on old Marvin Hart, and grabbed the championship." --- The writer of the above restrictions has much more to say, and in a similar vein. We have given enough; and which will prove food for reflection. The consolation is that one blue bird does not make a summer, nor does one dotele力 destroy the harmony of the world. Johnson has come in for much consideration within the recent past. White men threw down their prejudices, and came out honest men as it concerned the expression of their convictions. False men, bad men, those who would sow the seed of discord will in the end tumble to their own destruction. They cannot walk evasively forever without a fall. illiam in the play is resourceful, but in time he gets to the end of his tether. * * * Johnson's condition at the Paris rinside: "Johnson was not in poor condition, but he was far from being prime. His punch disappeared—it had been rubbed off in a mixture of chloroform, vinegar and with hazel boiled together, so his former rubber told me—but he was fat all over. He ceratiously weighed more than 230 pounds. A roll of fat bulged over the tops of his fighting trunks. Suet shock and glistened on him when he walked. But he was still the master of his art. He picked off Moran's punches when Moran started them. He knew that Moran could never hurt him, except by a ring accident. Therefore he was confident in the ring, as he had been lary in the training." *** One of the latest reports of Johnson that he lost fourteen trunks in his fight from Russia. Here is the way the story runs: He was on the stage when the inhabitants of the town came running wildly down the street crying that the German warships were about to bombard the town. Gus Rhodes, his nephew, brought the news to him. In the hired flight of the party from Russia the party lost fourteen trunks that had not been located up to the time of writing. In left Russia that he telegraphed the French authorities offering the use of his automobiles. Word of his act spread like wildfire, and when he and his wife reached Paris they received an aviation from the hundreds of people gathered to meet them. they might have added, and they lived happily ever afterwards. been happily ever afterwards. According to the story he was at Moscow filling a theatrical engagement. Just take down your war maps and chance at the location of that city. Now think of the possibility of a German bombardment. Owing to Johnson's limited education he should stick very close to facts. Really, I don't believe Johnson forwarded any such information. They got his letters mixed up in that Chicago, that's all. The chances are that Johnson does not travel with fourteen trunks. If he does, and has lost them, he will know enough to travel with seven, or less, next time. But the champ has been imposed on somehow. --- Then they army made Jack a Colonel in the French army. After he got home from Moscow. The report has not been verified, and probably will not. Of course, I cannot contradict the report but I think there is nothing in it. He is the way the report reads in part: "The government has given Jack Johnson papers, making him a beneficiary of $500 a colonel of the regiment and should have the abilities, the same amount will be given him monthly. If he is slain in battle, his wife will receive a similar amount. A possible heir or dependents shall be pensioned." The above sounds good enough, and it's to be hoped that it is true. But as long as Georges Carpenter continues to draw merely five cents per day it will be difficult to think of Johnson drawing $500 per month. It will not be understood that he is begrudged. The object is to save him from absurd situations. When it is positively known that Champ Jack is a colonel in the French army, I will gladly chronicle the facts. The following is another sport writer's commentary on the champ: "Unfortunately, should Willard and Johnson be matched, 'fake' rumors will surely go the rounds, and whether or not there was any truth in them the sport of boxing would suffer serious injury. Johnson has absolutely killed all possibility of believing his bouts now are on the level. His written agreement in the Moran affair, by which Moran was to receive a certain increased share of the receipts if he didn't go eight rounds, dismissed in English and French papers, truth that. Johnson has passed his prime as a fighter. Dissipation and easy living have left him a far less effective fighting machine. His endurance has gone, and after boxing a few rounds he loses his strength and hitting power. So it is quite natural to suspect that he might frame up his bouts to make sure of winning or to receive a big piece of money to pay him for losing a valuable title. Personally I'd like to see Willard fight Johnson. He would probably beat the dusky champ. Willard is naturally a defensive fighter like Johnson, and he wouldn't run into anything through over eagerness. When hurt he hits a terrific punch or two before his natural caution returns. He uses a fast and hard left jab, and he has great advantages in height, reach, weight and strength. Years ago Willard would have had no chance with Johnson; today it's a different matter, as Johnson is all in. "But-it isn't likely Johnson and Willard ever will fight. There'll be no boxing in Europe or England for some time. Even if there were Johnson would be barred because of the Moran agreement in his handwriting, so widely published. He can't fight any one in Australia, as he has been absolutely barred in that country. And he can't come back here and wouldn't be allowed to fight if he did come. Johnson is flat broke, getting along on meagre pickings in the vaudeville line—more meagre than ever now because of the big war. Another reason to think he'd be in a proper frame to lose a title. "The best thing, under all circumstances, is to cut Johnson out of all calculation. By his own actions he is barred from competition in all countries where boxing is a recognized sport. Let Willard, Gunbob Smith, Jeanette, Langford, Sam McVey and whatever other good men develop fight it out—and then we'll have another champion and Johnson and his 'agreements' will be forgotten." Poor old Jack. And his only sin is being a successful Negro pugilist. IN SPORTING CIRCLES.

The mayor also addressed the National League's official, also be consumed for refusal to comply with his demand, made during the game, that Snodgrass be removed. Derivive gestures by Snodgrass during a controversy with Pitcher Tyler of the Boston team are said to have constituted the "insult" alleged by the mayor. * * * The Union Giants, of Springfield, Ill., are open to play any club in the state.

At a recent boxing entertainment in Bangor, Me, score cards similar to those used at baseball games were distributed among the audience. The spectators were requested to fill out the cards and deposit them in a box on leaving the clubhouse, and those were later inspected and were given consideration in deciding the winners of the various contests. Thus in a sense all the fans became referees and gave decisions in a state where an official announcement from the ring by the regular arbiter is not allowed. --- Georges Carpentier's term of service in the French army may be four years.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER pentier's ambition, was to win the world's heavyweight championship and lay aside $1,000,000. He was in a fair way to succeed for his bank account is said to be $100,000 and he had many promising bouts in sight in England, France and other countries when the war broke out and he was assigned to the air craft squad. * * * * New Zealand has abolished proprietary race tracks, besides banishing the bookmakers. All racing clubs there exist exclusively for the furtherance of the sport, the proprietary element, for fat dividends, having been eliminated for the good of the turf. All profits now go to increase the purses and stakes and to improve the tracks. Under these conditions the Canterbury Jockey Club this year distributed $181,000 in prizes at a ten-day meeting. The average was $2,270 to a race. Through the medium of the pari mutual, or totalizer, $1,874,610 was wagered on the tracks at this meeting. The fact that Jack Johnson had reached the age of 36 years 58 days when he risked his title against Frank Moran in Paris led to some interesting discussion regarding the ages at which previous heavyweight champions lost their laurels. John L. Sullivan was 34 years old when defeated by James J. Corbett at New Orleans in 1892. He held the title for ten years, but Corbett was less fortunate only five years, being 31 years old when Bob Fitzsimons won at Carson City in 1897. His tenure of championship was even less, for at the age of 37 he was knocked out by Jim Jeffries at Coney Island, in 1899, after holding the title for two years and three months. Jeffries, who met defeat at the hands of Johnson at Reno on July 4, 1910, was 35 years old when the negro wrested the ring honors from him. He held the championship for eleven years. With the return to this country of Willie Ritchie, deposed lightweight champion, interest has been revived in the 133-pound division, and from present indications the approaching boxing season will be marked by one of vigorous strife among the various contenders. Ritchie, Charley White, Leach Cross and Joe Rivers are the topnotchers in their class in this country, with Ad Wolgast a possible though rather uncertain factor. * * * Rumors of prospective matches between Ritchie and White, Wolgast and Cross, and White and Rivers are filling the air just now, but so far as can be ascertained no promoter has yet succeeded in securing the signature of any of the boxers to articles of agreement. Jim Coffroth, of San Francisco, and Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, are busy angling for a class match against White, but because the belief prevails that this match would prove one of the biggest drawing cards that has been staged in California in many a month. BONHAG OFFERS GOOD ADVICE TO COACH YOUNG ATHLETES Good advice on physical training for boys, George V. Bonhag, three times member of the American Olympic team, and holder of several world's records, is given in a pamphlet by him printed by the Hamilton institute, of which he is director of athletics. He declares that the general opinion that any course of physical training entails is far from the truth. This misconception, he says, has arisen from the stress that has been placed upon "physical developments" rather than "physical condition." He continues: "The time to begin a proper training and development of the body is in early youth. For school boys, the exercise should be varied and interesting. Better still, if the feature of routine can be made a matter of enjoyment as well as of benefit, the most effective results will ensue. Participation in all forms of sport is desirable, because of the constant incentive involved. It is essential that boys should spend considerable time in the open air, especially during exercise. Opportunity for this is particularly favorable during the summer vacation. The mental rest and relaxation, gained in the out-of-door life in the woods or mountains, can not fail. have a beneficial reaction on the boy's physical condition, but it by no means that exercise during the school months should be disregarded. To supplement outdoor exercise gymnastic work is most useful, as it develops grace and agility and prepares the boy for the more vigorous forms of sport. "All regular exercise and athletics however, participated in by boys should be under watchful and intelligent supervision. In this way their enthusiasm will not carry them to extremes. Further, some boys are so constituted that not only can they stand more exercise than others, but are in actual need of it as a safety valve for their excess energy and vitality. Yet should be a small consideration have right physical principles been observed. It is wise, of course, to cultivate a liking for wholesome food, and for the individual to avoid those foods which are not readily digested. "I strongly advise that boys under 17 years of age should strive for an all-round physical excellence, but should be cautioned against overtraining. The best results in any athletic event demanding special preparation are obtained when the training period is deferred until the boys are of mature age. The writer has known of many schoolboy athletes of whom much was expected whose subsequent athletic work in college was most disappointing. This came from improper supervision or absolute lack of any supervision while in school. When the demand came for a supreme effort they found themselves lacking the snap and dash essential in a successful contest. The too much early athletic activity are found with great frequency in schools when the number of pupils is limited and when the same group of boys is called upon for participation in all the major sports. The remedy lies in limiting the number of sports, thus giving an opportunity for every boy to select the one for which he is best qualified. "To conclude physical training and athletics with the proper development of the American schoolboy. Wise direction will restrain and regulate, as well as encourage and inspire. The results which naturally follow such supervision are a strengthening of the character of the student on the selection of contest, and a steadfast resolve to win by all means that are fair and manly." HOW FIGHTER REALLY FEELS WHEN HE TAKES A BEATING (By Kid Howard.) What is gameness? What is that quality in a fighting man that urges him on to greater efforts in the face of positive defeat? The question has been asked a million times by men seated at a ringside—"I wonder if he's game?" It's easy enough for a fighter to be game no matter what kind of punishment he is receiving when he is in good physical condition. A man who has gone through a course of training is not deserving of sympathy when he shows great ability to assimilate punishment. The test of real gameness is a battle against nature. The fellow that can come up with after round with his weak legs sarging under his tired body, his heart throbs sounding in his ears and battle on with only a faint hope of winning is the fellow who is game. Imagine yourself, Fight Fan, up there before thousands, bleary eyed and drunk from punishment; every blow that you receive feeling like a leaden weight crashing against your body; your stomach feeling as though it were boiling over with hot oil; bright flashes of light darting before your eyes and the sound of voices seeming to be miles away. Dancing before you is a shadowy form that pecks and jabs with blows that cut deep and numb you when they land. The canvas floor on which you are standing seems as though it is a deep mire in which it is an effort to move your tired legs. Try as you will you cannot get close to the one before you, but look at him through bloodshot, glassy eyes. You see a curled lip like the vicious snarl of a fighting dog. You feel the hiss of his hot breath as he lays over you in a clinch and sends in his right or left glove deep in your stomach. Down you go. You hear a roar like water falling from a great height. Dimly you see bending over you the form of a man with his arm raised high. Into your ear he begins to count the fatal figures that mean defeat and oblivion for you. You try to rise and the voices sound fainter, something tells you you must get up. Now you are on your feet and you can see the arms of your opponent before you. Instinct tells you to cover up. You feel something near you, you know what it is. Then with one wild, fierce, desperate lunge you let go with all the strength left in your crumbling body, you and your right glove grove sniffle something which cringes and gives way before you. You smile through your bloody lips at the prostate form lying before you while the referee is counting your man out. You say to yourself, "Gee, but wasn't he game?" When your seconds rush into the ring in their delight and tell you that if you fight, "game you" have lost the fight, you look at them in wonderment and say to yourself, "I wonder if I'm game." RED HAW KID AND KID WILLIAMS MEET-A GRUELLING CONTEST. (By Chas. Crockett.) September the 8th, 1914, will long be remembered by sport loving fans of Nashville. After the gong had sounded for the first round of the combat between "Red Haw Kid" of Pittsburgh and "Kid Williams," of Little Rock, for the middleweight championship of the South. It was a gruelling contest from the beginning, the boys feinted, sidestepped, made mushing tactics, slugged and used each and every methed known trying to tire his opponent down. And there is one thing that must be said right here, there was little or no stalling in this fight. Reddie drew first blood in the early stage of the fight, and very strange to say, this kid did most all of his eflectiveness with one hand, but surely terrifies wicked breath. This boy has plenty of nerve and that old peppery ginger, always on the go and is endowed with plenty of aggressiveness. On the other hand, Williams as a fighter, is of different type, mostly on the defensive at all times. In plain words, he's a waiter, always ready to meet the coming rushes of his opponent. This boy can also entertain most any scrapper, but recently he strained his most needed ankle, which at times is quite painful, but his footwork was marred very little by this. Williams is somewhat slower on his feet than "Reddie," but he fights well from all angles, which gives him some advantage in this department. He is game, takes punishment like a steer and last but not least, he loves the game and never gets discouraged. The decision was rendered to "RedHawk" on points, but it was fast and furious and by round and a return fight is sure. Now, dear reader, this to the fight loving fans or those interested in the knights of the padded mitts. Keep your eyes on these two boys. Because they are sure to climb high in the pugilistic game. TEMPLE, TEXAS. (By E. E. C.) To the Temple readers of The Freeman: I beg to state that the cause of delay in getting papers is due to the lateness of trains coming to Texas. You know, Indianapolis is several hundred miles from here. However, I shall endeavor to get them to you as early as possible in the future, so don't blame the agent when he is late. You say you want the Freeman. Don't gny anger when it is late. It is the best color noun in the city has received a large amount of cotton. The cotton farmers are doing nicely so far. All the business people are doing well. The Bell County Colored Teachers' Institute opened its five day session in the colored high school auditorium. The institute was opened by singing "Throw Out the Life Line," with Mrs. C. B. Morgan, of Temple, at the piano. A half hour was spent in a preliminary talk by the conductor and in enrollment. The text selected for professional study is Teaching the Com-Brands. The Teacher W. Stone E. L. Holland and J. W. Morrison will lecture to the institute Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, respectively, at 11:30 a.m. on interesting topics. The following are the personnel: Misses K. B. Knight, E. Cochran, E. R. Winn; Mesdames C. B. Morgan, A. Martinez, M. L. Wilkerson, M. L. Robinson, J. Hill, F. L. Henley, J. Dawson, A. A. Cruger, E. C. B. LeQue, G. W. Blackbourn, Prof. H. T. Smith and J. L. LeQue, Chapel or model opening exposition. Mrs. C. B. Morgan, Blackburn, Mrs. J. Hill, Miss K. B. Knight and Prof. H. T. Smith, all of which were of a very high order. We are so glad to hear and want to see Mr. Whitney and Mr. Tutt with their new play, "His Excellency the President." They are welcome in our city. We want the company to date two nights. Best regards to them. BASEBALL IN ENGLAND. Promoters Plan to Organize a League Next Season—Many Exhibition Games Played This Year. LONDON.—Taking advantage of the apparent growth in favor with the British people of games "played quick," another attempt is to be made to popularize baseball as a summer game, financial and moral support being given by a number of well-known American gentlemen in this country. Among these are R. Newton Crane, barrister, of the United States and London, whose support made possible the match which was played at the Stadium, Shepherd's Bush, a few days ago, between a London team and the midshipmen from the United States battleships Missouri and Illinois. The organizing secretary of the British Baseball Association is Mr. John Gibson Lee, who was pitcher all through the game for the London team. In an interview Mr. Lee said: "This year we are contenting ourselves with the games, but about the end of the year we shall be holding a meeting in London to organize a league. Next year we hope to have a big league competition, in which clubs in London, Liverpool and other large cities will participate." "Thanks to the generosity of some American gentlemen who are desirous of seeing the game played here, we have," added Mr. Crane, "obtained an ample fund to guarantee us against loss." DILLON AND LEVINSKY TO BATTLE IN ST. LOUIS RING Hoosier Middleweight Asks No Concessions of Heavyweight Weight Jack Dillon, the Hoosier champion of middleweights, if not the best in the wide world, today signed up for a bout with Battling Levsinky, in St. Louis, September 25. Levsinky is a light heavyweight and Dillon asked no concessions. The Philadelphia scraper will weigh close to 175 pounds, while Dillon will tip the scales at about 162 pounds. That Dillon can make the middleweight limit of 158 pounds is evidenced by the terms of agreement for a battle with Knockout Brown, of Chicago, to be staged at Vincennes next Tuesday night. Dillon put up $250, which he will forfeit if he fails to make 158 pounds by 3 o'clock on the day of the fight with Brown. Sam Murbarger, Dillon's manager, has also signed Dillon for a bout with Leo Houch, in Lancaster, Pa., October 1. Murbarger said Dillon would be waiting for Eddie McGeory and Jimmy Clabby when they return from Australia, and that an effort will be made to meet them in long bouts on the coast.
