Emmett is a bright lit tle fellow, a veritable "chip" off the old block." He has a fine future be- Special to The Freeman. HOWARD UNIV Stephen M. Newman President LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The case of J. R. Neighbors, George T. Young, Susie Crooms and others, Negroes, against the City of Louisville, testing the constitutionality of the law purporting to separate the residence districts of the white and black races, known as the segregation ordinance, was argued on demurre by attorneys before Judge Kirby yesterday and the question submitted. The city of Louisville demurred specially to the petition as amended. In the amended petition the plaintiffs allege that their property by the ordinance is rendered tenantless, vacant and practically valueless if a house owned and occupied by negroes in a block where the majority of the persons are white from any cause becomes vacant, as the owner can not again occupy it or lease it to another of his own race of people, and if a colored person owns property, the sentiment is against a white person occupying it. Attorney Chevalier argued that the ordinance does not affect the plaintiffs' property sufficiently for them to maintain a cause of action, and for that reason the petition should be dismissed. He also argued that the ordinance had been held constitutional in other cities, and that it would not work a hardship here. N. R. Harper, a negro, argued the case for the plaintiffs. The burden of his argument was that it simply confiscated Negroes' property in many instances, where in almost every instance it worked a depreciation of the value of property. Colored Insurance Co., of Louisville. The stockholders of the Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance Company, of Louisville, today filed suit in the Franklin Circuit Court against M. C. Clay, Insurance Commissioner, to compel Clay to grant the company articles of incorporation. Clay has been advised the act of 1904 under which the company is organized is unconstitutional. He says it violates Section 51 of the Constitution. The plaintiffs are: John Hodgins, Charles Glass, H. C. Haly, W. T. Love, W. T. Merchall, B. O. W. Whikerson, J. A. Wheatley, G. G. Young, H. S. Bruner, J. C. A. Littimore, C. H. Parish, W. W. Spalding, G. L. Cheatham. The A. M. E. Conference will convene here October 14, at Asbury chapel. Pastor, Rev. Reid. Bishop Lee will preside. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE NOTES. Special to the Freeman. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.- Miss Mable L. Simms is doing capable work as a stenographer in the principal's office. Bishop C. Cottrell, of Holly Springs, Miss., came to the school a few days ago to enter his daughter, Beulah, as a student. R. W. Westbury, of Sumter, S. C., came on a like mission in the interest of two relatives. The Nurse Training Department threatens to be overcrowded even this early in the term. The personnel is much above the average. At present there are 32 patients in the hospital, of whom eleven are outside patients and three members of outside families. Principal Washington, Treasurer Logan, Secretary Scott and Commandant Ramsey have been spending a week at Coden-on-the-Bay, near Mobile, Ala., as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence W. Allen, whose country home is there. V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Penny Savings Bank at Montgomery and a trustee of the Institute, was also a member of the jolly party. The Allens proved themselves to be royal hosts, and the visit was a delightful one from every point of view. Mr. and Mrs. E. Davidson Washington are domiciled in their pretty home at Greenwood. Upon their arrival at the Institute, they were tendered an elegant wedding breakfast at "The Oaks" by Dr. and Mrs. B. T. Washington, and later they were guests of honor at a reception given by the faculty of the school at Dorothy Hall. The Greenwood cottage was a wedding present from Principal and Mrs. Washington. Mr. Washington has resumed his duties in the principal's office and Mrs. Washington is a member of the teaching corps at the Children's House. T. Edward Owen has become head of the Division of Mathematics, vice D. W. Woodard, resigned. L. A. Wilson, class of 1911, and Miss Lily A. Motley, class of 1913, were married last Thursday in the town of Tuskegee at the A. M. E. Zion church. Miss Lillian C. Mack, teacher of grammar, Academic Department, spent the summer in the School of Oratory and Literature, Northwestern University, Chicago. This course will render her more effective as an instructor in the important branches taught by her here. The Institute sent a special representative to attend the funeral of Dr. W. R. Pettiford, which took place at Birmingham, Ala., recently. Dr. Pettiford was president of the Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, one of the pioneer Negro banks of the country and one of the soundest in the country, and has been a friend of Tuskegee Institute from the outset of the school's career. He was founder and president of the National Negro Bankers' Association, an affiliated organization of the National Negro Business League. Principal Washington sent a long telegram of condolence to the bereaved family of Dr. Pettiford. Charles Winter Wood, elocutionist and lecturer, has returned after a season of five months in the North and East with the Tuskegee Quartet. At each of the entertainments given by the young men at various points, Mr. Wood lectured on the work of the school and its influence upon the masses of the colored people and upon the South. Mr. Wood, who has been serving efficiently as librarian, has been chosen as head of the Division of Campaign Publicity. It is the belief of the authorities that he will have in this new work an opportunity to render even greater service for the Institute than as librarian. Tuskegee Institute will have the banner exhibit of its history at the Alabama State Fair, to be held at Montgomery, October 12 to 17. W. M. Rakescraw is manager of the Negro Department, and he writes Principal Washington most optimistically on the outlook of that branch of the great show. Emmett J. Scott, Jr., class of 1914, has gone to Exeter, N. H., where he has entered the Phillips Exeter Acad- emy, preparatory for work at Harvard University, Emmett is a bright lit fellow, a veritable "chip" off the old block." He has a fine future before him. Hon. H. R. Williamson, county superintendent of education for Lowndes county, Alabama, accompanied Hon. James L. Sibley, state agent for Negro normal schools, to the Institute last week for a conference with Principal Washington upon matters directly affecting the welfare of the Negro rural schools, a movement very dear to the heart of the Doctor. Mr. Williamson brought the gratifying tidings that thirty-one new school houses for colored children are in course of erection in his county; also that three colored supervisors will have charge of the industrial work of these schools. The depression in business circles throughout the South has had some effect upon the attendance this year, yet at the end of three weeks of the term there are enrolled more than 1,000 young men and women, with old and new students arriving daily. At the corresponding period last year less than 900 were enrolled. Confidence is being rapidly restored among colored farmers, by reason of the vigorous steps taken by the big financiers to protect the cotton market, and they will stick to their original plan of sending their sons and daughters to Tuskegee Institute. A capacity enrollment may be expected before Thanksgiving. Marc Thomas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Thomas, has entered Greenwich Academy at Providence, R. I. George R. Bridgeforth, head of the Division of Agriculture, represented the Institute at the Cotton Growers' Conference, held recently at Washington, D. C. He was the "observed of all observers," and was cordially received by all. The shoemaking division is enjoying an unprecedented era of prosperity. It is one of the busiest departments on the grounds and is popular because of its everyday usefulness. There is a big opportunity all over the country for the Negro shoemaker to exploit the opportunity. It is up to the Negro boys to rescue this important and profitable industry from the Greek and Italian cobblers who are making fortunes out of the business in our large cities. PIGS AND EDUCATION AND PIGS AND DEBTS. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Our race is in constant search of means with which to provide better homes, schools, colleges and churches, and with which to pay debts. This is especially true during the hard financial conditions obtaining on account of the European war. All of this cannot be done at once, but great progress can be made by a good strong pull together, in a simple direct manner. How? There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to raise at least one pig this fall. When we or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a Pig Club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches, and societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, etc. The average pig is valued at about $5. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the present prices for hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. The hogs, it would have in a few months $20,000,000 and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war. Let us not put it off, but organize Pig Clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. SOME THINGS THAT ARE HAP. PENING. The veteran editor, M. M. Lewey, for years publisher of the Florida Sentinel at Pensacola, Fla., which later moved to Jacksonville, launched this week a new paper at Jacksonville called The Standard. After a stormy experience in Paris during the war fever, Mme E. Azalia Hackley has reached this country in safety, and will deliver a series of lectures on what she saw and heard during her sojourn across the sea.

Bruce, principal of the Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial School at Dalton, Mo., won the prize for the largest yield of corn per acre grown in Missouri last year. While the drought reduced the average yield per acre in the state to 17.6 bushels, Principal Bruce and his farm boys grew 108 bushels and 11 pounds on a measured acre. The Colorado Modern Wood-Choppers of the World is the unique name of an organization that is flourishing and doing a helpful work in Texas.

(oy comminsion exotica NOvenber i, uit Germany has succeeded in giving Belgium a good beating anyhow. ‘The headquarters of the three par- ties for the colored voters in Indian- apolis reminds one of the Happy Fam- ily spoken of in one of Chas. Dickens’ Novels. This family which was in a cage consisted of a number of animals, which have the reputation of having no love for one another. The Demo- cratic and Progressive folk are next door neighbors while the Republicans are something like a half square further down the same street, The frequenters pass from place to place in the most ordinary way. They get along famously. ‘The Republicans are working over time to discredit the Democratic state ticket, also the county ticket. ‘They seem to be holding up pretty well —no exits up until this time. Hender- son, the colored attorney,is now again in the Republican camp after having Deen an impetuous Bull Mooser. He is talking just as hard in explaining the necessity of his return as he did in explaining the necessity for his going. One of his observers said that he saw no reason why the attorney should have changed his mind. Nothing has happened. Mr. Julius Rosenwaid, the well Amown philanthropist of Chicago, Il, ‘will be in Nashville, Tenn., next week. He has given $25,000 to the Y. M. C. A. movement of that city, which ‘amount was conditional, depending on the amount raised by the colored peo- ple which was $33,000. The Central Association, white, gave an additional $100,000. ‘Thus fn all is assured a $100,006 building, such as are now in several other cities. The offering of the white association and that of Mr, Rosenwald, white, is a splendid mani. festation, and in earnest of the friend- ly relations between the races, 3 se It is most agtetablé information to know that Bishop C. R. Harris and the eight other churchmen were freed of the charge of arson. The charge, which was preferred some months age at Asheville, N. C., seemed unrea- sonable to us from the start, unrea- sonable because the men were who they were. A man who has standing enough to get to be a bishop of a great church will not entertain the idea of arson. Tho others accused were of standing, one of them being a medical doctor. ‘The accusation was shameful; it, of course, is now withdrawn, but a kind of hurt follows such accusations which cannot be withdrawn. It goes without saying that we should be very careful in accusing those against whom accusation amounts to so much. In fact we should not be careless of any man’s reputation, but most particu: larly of those who stand in front o! the people as leaders. Rey. Charles H. Johnson, formerly of Indianapolis, now of Boston, has re- signed his charge in that city. After the siege and assault of Rev. Johnson began, and which by the way was the most persistent in the history of the negro church, he has no chance to hold on. “The Guardian” was particularly notable in its assault. Every week that publication paraded the entire his. tory of the preacher as it concerns the charges including the court records of Indianapolis, and the names of those associated in the charges against him. “The Advocate” of that city joined the attack, which together with the opposition that sprang up in his church made his position untenable. “The Advocate” closes its speech as follows: “If Rey. Johnson is unfit to remain as pastor of St. Paul church, he is unfit to remain in Boston.” Rey. Johnson, by his own admission when resigning, was not the man tc head a church. However, the publi cation is'to severe when when it says that he is not fit to live in Boston ‘The point was gaine? when the preacher was ousted. ix ought to be a closed incident. As a citizen he ha: the right to make a living for him self when and where he can. The law is to care for him if he breaks into trouble. We are not in for mob- bing even an unfrocked preacher. A Virginia colored woman recently won in a prize letter writing contest over 625 competitors. The contest ‘was conducted by “The News-Leader,” a white publication of Richmond, Va. ‘The subject was, “Why Shouldn't Women Vote?” The successful con- testant was rather ashamed of her performance because she is an ardent suffragette. She said that she was merely trying out her literary ability. She said in part by way of explana- tion: “Fortunately this fondness for mental exercise has given rise to an adaptableness which has ‘served me well on more occasions than that in which you are interested. “But, notwithstanding the fact that my adaptablity has served me well, when I read the letter written me by the president of the Virginia Associa- tion opposed to Woman Suffrage, in which she speaking for the organiza- tion, says, ‘Having your sympathy, we appeal to you to assist our cause by joining our association,’ I feel like a down right hypocrite. Why? Because I could have argued equally as well if not better on the other side and be- cause I know those white women re- garded me as one of them in the color of my skin.” THE NEGRO AND THE STATE CON. STITUTION. Up until tais time the negroes of the state have been treated fair enough concerning the proposed new State Constitution. We were asked to ex- press an opinion as to the advisability of holding a constitutional convention preparatory to a change. Others, we think, were also asked. We did not feel free to answer for or against, since there was good argument either way. Those for the new constitution ar gue that in the 63 years of the opera- tion of the old constitution it has been distanced by the progress of the people of the state. ‘A pamphlet circulating in the inter- est of the change has this: “Our first constitution, adopted in 1816, was discarded at the end of thirty-five years because outgrown by a generation of progress, and our pres- ent constitution, adopted in 1851, made to satisfy the needs and conditions of the middle of the nineteenth, cen- tury. Now shall we of the second decade of the twentieth century show less courage and progressive spirit in meeting the conditions that con- front us?” ‘Those for the change then put for- ward the reasonableness of a change, owing to the 63 years, the time sinee the second constitution went into ef- fect. Much valuable data and statistics are given to prove the necessity of a change. They sustain their position nicely, on paper, at any rate and doubt- less their contention is not bad, even if it does not show conclusively that a change is absolutely essential. With- out the possibility of a situation which would make less our political rights, we more than likely would stand with those who feel that the change should come owing to the growth of the people. Further inguiry into the mat- ter will insure us our position. But a political situation is possible, and by which our political rights might be lessened. We do not give it out that there 1s such an intention. So far everything seems fair, however, we will not forget how strenously Mr. ‘Thomas Marshall, then Governor, now Vice-President, tried to put over an amended constitution, and which had much to do along the line of suffrage, Tt was full of restrictions as it con- cerns the voting privilege. They ap- peared innocent enough on their face, Dut lke many another constitution would have been capable of great things in “capable” hands. ‘The Indiana Daily Times, a white publication recently had this to say: “Indiana did not make its monumen- tal sacrifices in the Civil War that the Negro might have his freedom ‘THEN and be disfranchised NOW. From what source it comes we can only speculate, but there is an effort being made to prejudice the Negro voters in Indianapolis against the con: stitutional convention question. ‘The representation is made that the con- stitutional convention movement has, among other sinister purposes, the dis franchisement of the negro—an effort to take from him the ballot. Nothing could be more ridiculous or farther from the truth, .. ~..~- ‘The inoveitietit to revise the consti- tution grows out of the fact that the Yoters of Indiana, black and white, no longer are the highest power in the [ae it is a movement to give the voters, black and white, the power which should be theirs, Today we vote for a candidate and when the vote is registered on the machine we have completed the action whereby we surrender to some other individual all our powers as lawmak- ers. Our candidate may go into office and for two or four years conduct himself with no regard to our inter- ests and we have absolutely no re |dress. If he introduces a bill into the legislature barring negroes from the public parks or from holding appoin- tive offices what recourse has the negro? Could you or I, whether you are Jare white or black, afford to fight a law through the courts to test its con: stitutionality? The average man, re | gardless of color, could not afford it | But with a modern constitution in || Indiana that law could be Killed ever it every legislator in the state capitol voted for it.

This is due to the good shows that the patrons have learned to expect at this playhouse. THE TWO TOMS. In Their Original Sketch and Songs. The Two Toms, Thomas Cross and Theo minstrels. Both have done much good work in the profession. Lemonier is a successful song writer. "Just a wretched ballad," writes a wretched ballad, and which was such a few years ago, was written by him. Cross is a clever comedian of high opinion. His makeup is sale of both of them. This is seen in his "The Cook and the Waiter." Their lines are new, humorous and entertaining. His makeup is a nice introduction to them. Cross has a splendid voice. He has all of those little "touches" sympathetic singing. Perhaps gives a go singing. Perhaps says a go singing. Perhaps says a go singing. Superb is better—a grand voice. He was recalled in the singing numbers. Perhaps says a go singing. Yes I Did" is nonsensical in a way, but a telling piece of work with operatic effect. They made a hit with their piano. He also put on a whistling stunt which brought him applause. Comedian and the Girl That Sings the Memphis Blues. Johnson & Johnson open singing "Rag Ma La" with which they made a hit with the songs makes a hit with his makeup and his amusing movements. The songs sang are his own compositions. His "Poor as he sings it." And when you want some Blues that's a big hit, and especially as he sings it. And when you want some Blues that's a big hit, and especially as he sings it. She does the Memphis article, gets 'em a yelling. Well the woman is blessed with everything she needs to sing, and she dresses some and her clothes ding to her form. She has the voice, the expression and the tact. She goes right on the dance. The team does good work as straight and comedian. The male partner makes a hit with his eccentric danc- ORA CRISWELL The Great Female Comedian When Ora Criswell comes to the Crown they come out from most everywhere to see her. It has long been conceded that Miss Criswell is at the head of her class. She is funny, even funny. She did not depart from her work as last seen here, but it was so standard and good that those who had heard her speak never seen her. It's in the woman. The audience wanted to hear her talk—and then talk again. She doesn't need to forget to lose herself in the character. She doesn't care how black her makeup nor how grotesque she looks. This is what she wants her two songs, a parody on "All Night Long" and "When the Chu Chu Leaves for Alabama." She was a great success and she greater than she ever was. RICKS & TALBERT: Male Impersonator and Female Bartloue This team, Ricks & Talbert, is made up of two interesting young women, one of whom is a teacher of work. Miss Ricks is a charming little creature who looks good in man's skin. She dances neatly sings pleasantly and plays the flute. Ms. Talbert is a nice teacher. Miss Talbert is witty without half trying to be so. She looks joyous and thus puts all in good humor with her at once. She has a fine baritone voice and is very good at the effect. The act is good and entertaining. HAGENBECK-WALLACE NOTES. (By Staff) Well, Kansas, we are glad we got out of you and your fierce winds and rain.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. ANITA PATTI BROWN RECITAL AT THE PEKIN HERE. Harrison Emanuel Makes Impression. The Pekin theatre presented a cheerful appearance like there used to be about its corridor in days gone by, but the choice of singer for her day, made her first appearance in an afternoon recital. The lower house and all the choir seats in the gallery the occasion was a social event and a grand financial success. Theodore Taylor opened the theatre, which I missed, but he quite outdid himself as a accompanist. He played the piano, which I missed, but he quite excelled her former efforts in dramatic instinct of expression. There were five songs in the cluster of songs he played, moulded in tone coloring and pathos sublime. In her first number her voice showed signs of fatigue of over practice, and he was in a mad scene by Donizetti that her execution and trills were marvelous in a way and "Haunting Memories" pretentious number was an air and scene from Verdi's opera "La Traviata" which in point of vocal merit compared with the past, but lacked force in centripetal diction. Her "Last Rose of Summer" was not a solemn story of vocal performance, but superior of itself to every other essential in its exalted sphere. Harrison was the choir he played before the public as a pupil, has at last developed to be a vollinist, "Russian Airs" and "La Traviata" to be excellent. His tone production was angelic, but lacked in broadness of what is an actual necessity, to who proved to be an artist, sang Coloridge Taylor's "Blood Red Ring"; lady, spoke briefly of the moral perfection of her people, who look upon marriage as a holy bond and they have love. Prejudice she said in America is based upon color where in her country it is based upon class and describe the history of Trinidad. She attire and was sweet to look upon. GAINS & BROWN AT THE GRAND. Desmond Gallagher's Players Inter- terview—Marie Burton Charms. That the new management at the Grand is putting up strong shows is a positive fact. Gaines & Brown, late of the 1980s, were star fun makers of the bill. Brown was in excellent voice and Sam Gaines was a fun comedian who acted in the dance buzzer. Desmond Gallant and the Pianes players were the white contingent in "Live Wires," in which the star and leading lady were the star and the Carmens Minstrels were entertaining, Bartell & Rose were fun-wits with a fine bartone singer and Martinietti was the star and the last week had Jerry Mills and his nine Rose Buds and Marie Burton, who was a vocal charm in her singing numbers. The star and the hit of the bill, Earl McKinley, J. William Coleman, H. D. Coleman and William Dixon were the members. The star and the hit of the strels' in Hebrew characters, who made fun. E. C. Jordan in "Tom Cats Night Out" did a clever drunk scene, Curtyn & Florence were O. K. jugglers. On the Reservation at the New Mono-ogram Clifford Ross, the droll comedy soldier was the fun provider in "On the Mountain Indian force comedy drama in one act in which George Taylor gave an excellent mander. Lew Kenner, in a dramatic part, was a good Indian actor and Thressa Burroughs did well in Mexico. The director of the squaw, Millie Williams, was nicely depicted and Edna Barnes made a barnburn & Piper were good in a special. Alice Ramsey at the Monograms The new discovery on this week's bill was pretty Alice Ramssey, a high school girl who was a magic charm completely won the house in her artistic love-enamored singing number and the dress with white tights underneath, but did not overstep decency in her new act, who were decidedly good and Kid Jines, who has a voice, also danced Charles Nickerson in a good monologue, and the Davenport Trlo, Willard Hinson, and the Jacksoninson, proved to be good actors, singers and dancers, who easily won out. At the Motion Picture Houses. The New Era Theatre at Forty-seventh stree, has been drawing fine houses. The States theatre had been drawing houses, which drew strong. The Lincoln had the "Prince of India." The Star had "Dangers of a Great City." The Phoenix at Thirty-fifth and Grand Boulevard is doing well. Stage Notes and Stroll News. Irvin C. Miller was in the city last Saturday on business apperaining to the Mahara Brothers for a southern tour in a special car. Lew Kenner, whom it appears is quite popular, has been besieged by friends galore. He and his wife Mille Williams, seem to be the mecca of eloquence socially. John Gertrude's wife, who has been ill, has been sent to her home in Cincinnati, N. Ohio. John M. Mitchell, through the influence of M. Mitchell, has been made janitor for Geo. K. Nash and night watchman for Bowers, Liebrandt and O'Brien. Kid Sylvester, the young boxer at Memphis, Tenn., who defeated Frank McCormick, has been said by his Chicago friends to be a very clever boy. Has scored sixteen knockouts in his career. The Lillards have been booked on the United time. They will open at Bayne with Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Oaksho, WIs., and other cities to follow. James Aubrey Bailey insists on having his route record because he is now a member of the United States at Superior last Monday with six weeks to follow on the Webster time. The "Stories Jinkins Told" a promedley by Sylvester Russell, written for Arthur Allen, has been forwarded to the talented violinist comedian, who will compose his own music. Lewis & Lewis Stock Company is at Among the performers last week were White & White, John Gertrude, Alberta Perkins, Amanda Jackson, Miss Southall and Kid Thompson. LeRoy Bird, lightweight wrestler, is in trip Bast as valet and chauffeur for Gene Greene, the greatest and highest salaried white rattling singer. He was offered requests to see Greene at the Grand. It is understood that Greene had refused to play the house and he was offered requests to be pleased to appear on the Stroll at his own price. Harry Fiddler, of Fiddler & Shelton, and Ed Tolliver, of Tolliver & Chappelle, it seems had a misunderstanding in the Freeman some time ago. Mr. Fiddler, who had praised Tolliver's act, criticised Tolliver for having criticised him. He criticised him at all, according to my interview with Tolliver last week. The whole thing, he said, is that proud artists have had a misconception of current reports. Warning. All performers singing Mule Bradford's "Loving Sam From Alabama" will please refrain from using same as have lobed them. The professional use to Kenner & Williams, also "The Jacksonville Rounders Dance." AIDA OVERTON WALKER Passes Away at Twilight At Her Home in New York City, Last Sunday. Was the Foremost Soubret and Dancer of her Race. Appeared Before King Edward and Socially Entertained by the Vanderbilts. (By Sylvester Russell. It was just at dusk of twilight last Sunday afternoon when Anita Patti Tattler mourned so pathetically in the old Pekin Theatre at the close of her recital that she was taken to Overton Walker was remembered at that house and little did the audience know that news of Mrs. Walker's death came from her assurance of support for Henry Teeman Jones, who managed her at the Pekin had just resigned and had assured Mrs. Walker and her died. From what could be obtained from a book, she was told with a vivid breakdown for a week, but her death came unexpectedly. Alda Overton, daughter of the late Madame wardrobe mistress, claimed that she was born in New York City, although her mother, Alda Overton Walker was about forty years of age and enjoyed the most distinguished career of any actress of her time, so she was observed in reviewing her history. As Ada Overton I had just observed the greatest girl dancer in John W. Shamain's Orignal actressroom Theatres, Sept. 6, 1897. When Black Patti's Troubadours were formed Bob Cole engaged her for Manager oeekel to appear in the Broadway musical Grace Halliday, whose sister had died and who later became Mrs. Frank Malone, who later formed first starring four for W. Malone and Walker, he engaged Overton & Halliday as dancers, and it was in this company that the gambian Carnival that Alda made her reputation. The production was a cake walking monstrosity under the guidance of the company stranded at Washington, D. C. Mr. Mallory retired and Jesse A. Shippe put the company in the hands of the Coom afterwards revised as "Policy Players," was produced with grand success. During the tour of its comedy, the dancer, who was afterwards known as Alda Overton Walker, when they appeared at the Great Theatre, Chicago, March 12, 1899. She next appeared in "Sons of Ham." No new book was published in "Dahomey," by Jesse A. Shipp, Will Marion Cook, and lyrics by the late John Dahomey who had become a dazzling star. The company went to Europe and in August, she returned to King Edward of England in THE FASHION WEEKLY AIDA OVERTON WALKER. In Aida Overton Walker, the colored performers lose the greatest female attention and success. The news of her death was a sad blow and all the actors are in mourning. Walker's last publication, Pearl's, was at Hammerstein's in New York. CINCINNATI, O., NEWS The Pekin theatre opened with matinees, billed for every day this week and a special afternoon in addition to their vaudeville at night. The house was packed to see this show as every actor in this play played in this city for talent, never played in this city for talent, but well known to the profession. The management recognized this fact and engaged these people, a clever move to get the city to credit to this house. The bill was opened by Casey Jones, of the act, Jones & Price, in good single. He is the director of the show. He was followed by the Thornton Sisters, a knockout sister team that retarded the show. After order was retarded, the show was known far more presented here before, but it was a riot the way they presented it. The company consisted of Casey Jones, Sally Gray, Snookums Lovelle, Casey Jones and the comedian, Clay Price, who was a complete surprise, owing to the fact that any comedian seen here and created laughs without exertion. We were glad to get to see him and Jones. Jones and the comedian brought us the star burlesque impersonator as a opener, Pete de Rose, who is good when understood. A novel act that gives variety to the audience, he positively hit them hard. He was followed by Trixie Smith. This girl has a nice single that took well. Her laughs and her retains that voice which makes her pleasing and her talk in the rapid fire perfect. Good act, good show. Theatre are having crowded houses in spite of the Jim Crow restrictions of this house. Flemings says he will never again put any confidence in Mr. Clarence Logan, the advance man of the Follies. He made a contract with the company, then collected a percentage on the job given, accepted his hospitality and allowed him to buy extra provender people, then collected a percentage on the job given, accepted his hospitality and allowed him to buy extra provender people to some one else. He warns of this man, who obtains money and also pretense. Mr. Fleming has a sign up no Follies allowed in my place. Mr Pearl Mellwau and Miss Norma hardy, Mr. Sterling, Ky, were married, chief of detectives, of the National Negro Reform League was sponsor. The preman extends successful wishes to Love & Williams, a good sister team of this city, played a week in Los Angeles, where they went big. Good luck to Misses Williams and Love.

I can stand to any manager's face I can stand to any boss's face I can stand to a lad roaring in my face But I can't stand a knocker at my help If you don't like knocking don't do it yourself And your name will spread like a bird Remember, Mr. Performer, knocking don't do you any good— It doesn't work. CINCINNATI THEATRICAL NOTES. Lincoln Theatre. The bill opened with Seals & Fisher, who is held over by Manager Brooks and is already ready, thereby new act, looked better than the one the week before. This team of entertainers is certainly versatile in their roles. Next came Owens & Owens. Mr. Chico Owens with his wife and partner stormed the house with a bunch of new dances. Their closing was a riot. Owens & Owens will also be held for stock. Why not; they are hit. Why not; they are hit. This is James Crosby, of minstrel fame, and now doing vaudeville with a boy from the Bronx. Neely. They are sure to do a good act before the season is gone, because they are starting off good. Crosby is a Crosby and all performers. Good show is the verdict. NOTES. J. Lubrille Hill and the Darktown Hip Hop group are all performers. Olympic this week. We all reviewed the Monday matinee and it is a humorous show who has been on the sick list, was in harness, much to the delight of all. Reports coming from Chicago about the show making good.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 Some one has said: "A woman is as old as she looks and a man as old as he feels." This is a hypothesis for the correct computation of a vitalization time, a long been used to be speculative category, we are compelled to believe that the woman and Billy are still in their youthful prime. Most of the the "old-timers" who scintillated before the footlights flickered, Billy quit this mandate sphere. Billy's versatility has made him a notable figure on three continents. In America, he has been identified as the most pendentous theatrical enterprises. It was Billy who staged the wonderful speculative play "The Next Achievement" in the staging of the largest Negro production, Black America. Then Billy and Cordell assented to the Smart Set Company and wrote one of the greatest Negro shows ever produced. Then the turs of the fighting game, with its "get-rich-quick" possibilities, enticed Billy away from the stage and into Don, England, where he taught the lords and dukes in the manly art of self-defense. Again we heard of him playing by the wonder-lust once more, Billy then journeyed to the antipodes, there to tune in by promoting some of the most successful boxing exhibitions ever held in Australia. Then he heartening to the old man, his old mother, his old brother, Billy returned to the STAGE NOTES. Rich Brown, stage producer, of the A. Rabbitfoot Company, is springing some new ones. Prof. E. N. Calloway is still with Yankees Black Troubadours and would like to hear from Charlie Gentry, the drummer. The Lone Star Stook company opened the Lyric Theatre October 5 at Newport News, Va.

Shelton & Fiddler have been doing some brilliant vaudeville turns since the 1950s, three days. Their wide repertoire and the superexcellence of each number are placed the gentlemen at the head of the dance season. These gentlemen do not come to us with a mere hodge-podge suited man, but present a series of acts representing high art such as is demanded and aided by the elite of the most populous cities. While here they visited Lincoln Roberts were they found Prof. R. A. Roberts, a former museum principal of this school. It is a modern ten-room building with special deprivation of the acoustics of mesistic science. The one hundred and seventy-five children were gathered in the room where Prof. Shelton gave two piano selections, which were highly appreciated by the Profs. Roberts and Shelton indulged in many pleasant reminiscences of by the old Indiana. Messrs. Shelton & Fiddler will make their next stand at Canton, Ill. NOTES OF THE INTERNATIONAL SHOWS. (By W. H.

THE DOUGLASS THEATER, THE HOME OF MUSIC AND COMEDY, AT MACON, GA. (L. B. Mound, Pianist.) The Douglass Theater, Macon's favorite motion picture house, is prepared to hold its ground against all invasion, and to that end has thrown up extensive fortifications to protect itself from every onslaught of the enemy. The public goes to a moving picture show primarily for one reason—and that is to see the pictures. Lavish decorations and beautiful interiors are all very well (for that part, The Douglass is a beautiful place), but the pictures are what this theater in Macon has, the very best of the world's output. The Universal Company's pictures come first. There is no doubt as to these pictures being above competition, usually only first-run pictures, which includes The Trey o' Hearts. Next the Mutual special released serial story, "The Million Dollar Mystery," of which every movie patron knows. This house is the only one which can exhibit these two companies of unrivalled productions. Also the Hayes Photoplay Co. The owner, Mr. C. H. Douglass, has raised the stage, thereby enabling the audience to obtain a clear and unobstructed view of the pictures. The dressing rooms have been improved and one hundred seats have been added to help accommodate the inter学堂's crowds. Cephus & Cephus, the celebrated singers and dancers have introduced some entirely new songs and steps. They are as full of fun as champagne is of bubbles. McDon & McDon are making their second week at the Douglass Theater. HALL'S 'DIPPY-DOPE' NOVELETTE "The Burnt-Cork Mystery." It was 7:30 p. m. exactly. "Twas dark, too. Slim Silimon, otherwise billed as "the Master of Comedy," Presto! dashed from the stable entrance into the streets in an exclamation of horror! He didn't stop running until he had reached the back door of a famous detective who occupied the name of one "Skylock Bones." Buzz-zz! The door bell rang discordantly—persistently. With this caution Skylock fung open the door uttering at the same time: "Some good-for-nothing but has got himself in a peck of trouble, doubles, and wants to pour out his woes into my sympathetic ear bahl!" Slim Silimon entered. "Hello, Slim! What brings thou here?" exclaimed the great mystery solver A pair of trembling hands clutched his sleeves. "Hark! Mr. Skylock, my act is next on the bill. I have but five minutes. My burnt cork has disappeared. Solve this great mystery so I can regain my makeup, and this three-dollar bill is yours" answered Slim, rubbing his eyes in sheer amazement. The expression on the face of Slim would have made Davidson, the cartoonist, a fortune if he could have transferred it to canvas. "Here," said Skylock, "calm yourself. Have a glass of ice water." Cool water cools hot people quickly. There was a minute of painful silence which was broken by Skylock saying: "Describe the box to me." "A small box—a twenty-five cent size, sir. It have been in my service for five months," sighed Skylim. "And you say the cork have disappeared from the box, eh?" "Yes, sir." The great detective gave Slim one sharp, shrewd glance and remarked: "Come, Skylim, I have a clue. The mystery is two-thirds solved!" They entered a drug store. Lo! The detective sprang forward toward a motionless box! He grasped it. A few gestures with his hands, which he then opened, disclosing a form which bore the words: "Burnt Cork." Presenting the clerk with a two-bit piece, the two made their exit. Detective Bones had solved "The Burnt Cork Mystery." Slim Silimon was the first to regain wits by saying in a distinct slang: "If burnt cork were a brush is grease paint?" NOTES FROM WOLFSCALES BAND WITH BARNUM & BAILEY. At this writing we are in Dallas, Texas. Everyone is enjoying the best of health and send regards to their friends in the profession.

A PLAIN STATEMENT FROM ANNIE ST. CLAIRE. Just a line to readers of the Freeman concerning a statement in last week's issue about my "near cancellation" in Detroit. Mr. Jones in his write-up left just enough unsaid to give an erroneous impression concerning my act. I opened Sept. 14th at the Arcade, as he stated, and in justice to myself I wish to say that I was not doing my regular act. Also the act that I did do was not up to the standard, but at that, it went fair on Monday night, but on Tuesday was an absolute frost. The managers of the Arcade did not say one word to me about cancellation until I went to work Wednesday night. Then, after a little talk, Mr. Jones, one of the managers, asked me if I could change my act. I told him I could, and I secured my music and wardrobe in plenitude the first show Wednesday night. I then told my major act and scored a big hit the rest of the week, as I can prove by Jones & Gray and Gulfport and Nugent who were on the bill. Mr. Jones also stated that I opened the show. I did not open the show. Mr. Sam Lyle, spotlight singer, opened and I was second. After I changed my act on Wednesday, Mr. Lyle still opened, Gulfport & Nugent were second and I was third with Jones & Gray closing. Jones & Gray were engaged on Wednesday by the management, I suppose, to strengthen the bill as they were an immense drawing card, where as the crowds were poor on Monday and Tuesday night before they were engaged. I am not trying to aid my troubles through the medium of a newspaper, but I simply wish justice. I wasn't exactly given a square deal but that is neither here nor there. The above statement is just the plain unvarnished truth, and I feel that I was entitled to that much anyway even if my act was rotten. With good will to all and malice toward none, I am, sincerely yours, Annie St. Claire. OLD MULE AND JEANETTE THE FAVORITES—PACKING THEM TO THE STREETS AT DETROIT. Poindexter and Jones are all smiles this week. Why? Because Mule is here giving the patrons what they want. Mule wants to tell all performers singing his song, "Lovin' Sam from Alabam," to please refrain from using a, because he has sold all singing rights for professional use to the Jacksonville Rounders Dice.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE WORLD'S LARGEST ALUMNI ALLOW THE PRIVATE THE PRIVATE JACK JOHNSON MAY MEET JESS WILLARD. The Last of the Old Guard of "White Hope" in the Combat South Australia (By Billy Lewis.) Having once been a heavyweight champion reminds me of the orators of several years and to say about gold. They might that it might be beaten—drawn, quartered, and then be enchanted (enlashment)—and yet it would worth 100 cents on the dollar. We may try to tell the man who have been through the millick Jack Johnson included, but we can do it. Of course the more the less champions do it, at more the less the more they do not stand for the gold, so nearly as that, the more champ Jack does to lessen his importance, but he is the only man that can demand $10,000 and more hour and more—more or less. a hard report now is, that Johnson is to meet the last of the week, to white "the war." It was a formidable appearing as one thinks of the German line of defense in their effort to stay in the war, as in Johnson, Flypm, Gunboat Smith, Carty, Willard and Moran. One by one these men have, excepting Willard one war, is yet to be taken. The fight is framed, up on paper at any rate. Oler old, who was a big fan of the fight's localization, So China is mentioned. Big interests there and bankers have made a bid for the fight, but Jack Johnson may not feel the need to fight Australia is favored. "Snowy" Baker is the pugilistic man of the hour in that country, and he is fighting for a left-front fight through, in South America. It is thought that he hopes to get the two together in that country. It is quite certain that Bauer is willing for that kind event at this time. The relative merits of the men are not being accounted for, but that Johnson is wearing down—time is taking off his keen sense of humor, or is realizing that he is not quite so active as he is indecible. What little reduction he has suffered however, has not impaired his good and proper. I think, before he is able to warrant the speculation that he will succumb to any man. What he means in confidence. And without confidence in battle of any consequence was ever in doubt toward a half vanquished before he took action. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTS.

Each of which he had a fair margin. The fifth round was even, but from the sixth on Levinsky had it all his own way. Every round rounds Levinsky made no attempt to win, but several of the Gunner's rushes and counter-attacks with blocking cleverly and unpredictable. He hardly used his right in the bout, and independently on left bouts and upper antlers, he was punished about the body. Levinsky took up in the sixth and waded in with rights and left to the body. Smith was the winner, but Levinsky had all the better. He rushed Gunboat hard to the ward. NEW ORLEANS BASEBALL CLUB HAS GREAT SEASON.

Ray Bronson, manager of Milburn Saylor has matched Saylor with Eddie Moy of San Francisco for a twenty-round bout to be staged before "Smiling Jim" Coffroth's club in Frisco, Oct. 15. If Saylor defeats Moy he will meet the winner of the Dundee-Beecher contest. According to Bronson he was promised bouts for Saylor with Ritchie and White before his arrival from Australia, but these lightweight have placed their demands so high that the coast promoters have refused to listen to them. Welsh also was sought as an opponent for the Hoosier, but he refused to listen to terms, saying that he was not thinking of taking a trip west. Bronson says Welsh was thinking of his engagement with Saylor in Winnipeg a year ago. Coast promoters have not been able to attractive lightweight cards of late. They have been asked for such exorbitant prices by the boxers that the fans have been forced to satisfy themselves with bouts between fellows like Beecher, Watson and other boys of mediocre ability. Moy is said to be a tough lad, but Indianapolis friends of Saylor hardly look for him to give the local boy much trouble. The matching of Saylor means that the popular local boxer and manager will probably not return to this city for a month. FLYNN IS BEATEN BY JACK DILLON Hoosier Middleweight Given Popular Referee's Decision Over the Pueblo Heavyweight in Ten-Round Contest. Bout is Slugging Match. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 5.—The Kansas City Blues are out barnstorming, but there was a slugfest out at Association Park tonight just the same. Jack Dillon and Jim Flynn were the chief sluggers, and Dillon was awarded the decision at the end of the tent round. It was the best fight ever staged here and a crowd of 5,000 looked on and applauded the verdict. As a slugger Fyynn held his own with the powerful Dillon, but the Indianapolis boy landed more often, and it was this ability to shower the blows on the struggling fireman from Pueblo that turned the decision in the direction of Indiana. Kansas City static followers never have witnessed fiercer fighting. There wasn't a loafing spell. When the heaviest weren't mixing it at long range they were stamping around the ring, head to head, working wickedly close in. The close-in game Flynn is a past master, that being his particular and favorite method of ring bellergency, but the Hoosier lad more THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER than held his own at this game. There were times, and numerous, too, when the two would leap at one another and head against head, arms swinging like pistons, would surge across the ring, battling like demons. And J. Dillon, one popular gent in this burg, was the boy who was most aggressive in this manner of fighting. Dillon used his left with telling effect all through the ten chapters and occasionally shot over a right that caused Flynn to grunt and wade in for more. Flynn astonished the crowd by his super physical condition. It was not the Flynn of old, but a new creation of the ring, a creation that has trained faithfully and is down to the finest fighting trim in all his history. It is that fact that makes the victory of Dillon all the greater. WEST BADEN, IND. Battling Viney Would Like to Meet Arthur Stigall.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 28.—Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, was so far ahead of Frank Mantell after twelve rounds of boxing here tonight before the Capital Club that nobody in the big crowd wanted to set up any argument as to the merits of the two middleweights. They all were willing to give Mantell credit for courage in going the route to victory. They also have intensive tactics saved Mantell from more severe punishment than what he got. TAMPA, FLA., NEWS.

GEORGE DIXON, THE GREATEST FEATHERWEIGHT Fought More Than 150 Battles—A Monument Erected to His Memory in Boston. (By William H. Rocap, Sports Editor, Public Ledger.) Who was the best featherweight in America? As in a previous article, in which the writer selected Terry McGovern as his choice for the bantamweight crown, no effort will be made to draw comparisons with the boxers of today. Results are what count. Many of the men who hold ring titles today have practically just started on their upward careers, and it would not be fair to them to compare their performances with those battled with the five-ounce gloves for a decade. Nor would it be fair to the other fellow. Viewed from every angle, in the writer's judgment George Dixon was the greatest featherweight ever developed in America. What boxer in the world stood the blows and knocks of the Queensberry code for 20 years? And yet George Dixon fought his first fight in 1905, winning 9 years old, winning by a knockout in the second round. He finished a remarkable ring career, one which perhaps has no equal, on December 10, 1906, when he lost a 15-round decision to Monk Newsboy, a sturdy, hardhitting youngster, at Providence, R. I. Of course, in the meanwhile Dixon has been beaten. Although rarely weighing over 122 pounds, he flirted with the game, depending on his unrestrained heart through which he was forced to bow to superior weight and sturdiness. George Dixon, as all know, was a mulatto. He was born at Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 29, 1871. His grandfather was a white man, and Dixon himself was married to a white woman. He died in Boston five years ago, and since there has been reared to his memory a monument, which stands in a public place at the Hub. From 1886 until he quit the ring he held a pair of gloves, ranging from one round to 70, or an aggregate of 1,559 rounds, a record perhaps not equaled by any boxer in the American ring. Dixon, as was stated, began his ring career as a youngster, stopping Young Johnson in three rounds at Halifax when he was but 16 years old. The next year he arrived in Boston and made it his home until he died. He fought many contests in the next two years, when he attracted the notice of a judge, who recommended in the young mulatto the makings of a world's champion. At that time in New York the line between amateurs and professionals was not drawn very close by the metropolitan boxing authorities, Cal McCarthy had won the National Association of Amateur Athletes' featherweight tournament. His record bordered on the professional, and that incident and several others were the means of winning the N. A. A. A. out of existence and the formation of the present amateur Athletic Union. A Battle for 70 Rounds. McCarthy and Dixon were matched by the astute O'Rourke. They battled for 70 rounds with two-ouse gloves for a purse of $1,000 in a Boston ring, and Al Smith declared the bout a draw. The date was February 7, 1890. No return match being in sight, Dixon and O'Rourke sailed for England on May 3, and on June 7. Dixon beat Nunc Wallace in 1 rounds at the Pelican Club in London for the English and American title. They returned to America in October, and on the 23d of that month he beat Johnny Murphy at Providence, R. I., in 40 rounds, wearing two-ouse gloves. Cal McCarthy then sought another match, stipulating that the weight must be 115 pounds with two-ouse gloves. Dixon consented to a wager of $2,000 a side, winner taking $3,800. Dixon won in 22 rounds. On July 28, 1891, Dixon was proclaimed the world's champion after he had beaten Abe Willis, of Australia, in five rounds in a California ring. Fred Johnson, an English featherweight, was brought over to dethrone the shifty, clever young mulatto. Johnson was knocked out in 14 rounds in the Coney Island Athletic Club ring June 27, 1892. Then followed the famous contest with Jack Skelly, Sept. 6 of the same year, in New Orleans, held in conjunction with the Corbett-Sullivan, McAuliffe-Myers battles. Dixon won in the eighth round and received a purse of $17,500. George Siddons, Solly Smith, Billy Murphy, of Australia, and other lesser lights followed in the wake of the ring stars that Dixon compelled to take the count. Then came one of the most notable incidents of his ring career. Boxing had been under a cloud in this city. There had been a protracted strike of the Kensington mill-workers. Bread fund benefits had been held by various organizations throughout the Quaker City. The sports were appealed to. Edwin S. Stuart was then Mayor of Philadelphia. He had always encouraged all healthful and sane branches of athletics, and he gave his consent to the writer to promote a monster boxing bread fund benefit. Among the many volunteers throughout the country George Dixon was the first; then came Jack McAuliffe and James J. Corbett, the three winners at the great lattice New York gymnasium was held on 22.1894, at Industrial Hall. A delayed train in St. Louis prevented the world's champion, Corbett, reaching this city in time, but he subsequently gave a show at the Academy of Music allowing the entire net proceeds of his Gentleman Jack entertainment to go to the bread fund. To return to Dixon. The young mulatto was not only the first to volunteer, but he insisted that his manager, Tom O'Rourke, select Walter Edgerton, known as the Kentucky Rosebud, as his opponent. "You know he is a tough fellow, and the Philadelphia sports think that he can beat me. We are sure to draw a big crowd, and it will materially help the fund." The Rosebud jumped at the chance to get a crack at Dixon, even for sweet charity's sake. Wacked Out at a Benefit On March 20, two days before the benefit, Dixon caught a cold while doing some gymnasium work in Boston. The next day, when he was to leave for this city, he had a high fever and was abed. His wife insisted that he telegraph to Philadelphia and say he was ill. "No," said Dixon, "I have given my word to box at the benefit and I will go, even though I may not be able to stand up." He dressed, took a carriage and left Boston by the night train. He was joined by Tom O'Rourke in this city. His manager saw his condition, and took him in hand, and by nightfall, while Dixon was still feverish, his temperature was sufficiently reduced to permit him to compete. And that contest made ring history. The Rosebud was trained to the minute. He tore into Dixon like an infuriated bull. It was only the little champion's superb blocking that kept his aggressive opponent at bay. At the end of the first round it was evident that Dixon was in distress. The minute's rest did him little good, despite the fact that he was noted for his recuperative powers The second round was a short one. The Rosebud waded in swinging and hooking left and right. One blow landed flush on Dixon's jaw. The wonderful champion, who had been in the ring for eight years, who had eaten the best featherweights of three countries, was forced to take the count. He was half carried to his corner by Manager O'Rourke and other willing hands. In a few minutes he was revived, and Ed Cole, known to the sportsmen of the early 90's as "the man along the line," who acted as referee, had Dixon and the Rosebud box the third round as an exhibition. Those who were familiar with all the conditions joined with the writer in the regret that a world's champion should suffer the first blot on his record after so honorably keeping his word for the cause of charity. To further accentuate the fact that Dixon was a real sportsman, the next morning the writer, representing the Bread Fund Committee, took a check to the world's champion to defray his expenses to and from Boston. Dixon smiled and said, "Add that amount to the Bread Fund as my contribution. The best thing you can do for me is to get me another match with the Rosebud, and get it as quickly as you can." "Rosebud" Was Frightened. For three months the Rosebud was hounded for a match. One was finally made to be fought in Boston on June 13, but the Kentucky featherweight had "cold feet" at the eleventh hour. It took three years to get the Rosebud in the ring again with Dixon, then he got a good six rounds' lacing, the bout being decided in this city on June 21, 1897. In the meanwhile Dixon had performed wonderful feats as a featherweight. Young Griffo, of Australia, considered one of the cleverest lightweights of modern times, came to this country. His skill was bewildering, and yet Dixon, scaling 126, Griffo 135, boxed one 20, one 25 and one 10-round contest with the elusive Australian, each contest being declared a draw. In other words, the marvelous featherweight boxed 55 rounds in all with a lightweight regarded as the premier of his time, and was on his feet at the finish. In turn he beat Frank Erne, their relative weight being Dixon, 122; Erne, 130. Boxed a 20-round draw with Dal Hawkins, 124127, in San Francisco; lost a 20-round decision to Solly Smith, boxing at 120 pounds; beat Oscar Gardner, a tough lightweight, over the 25-round route; knocked out Young Pluto, another foreign invader, in 10 rounds, the beginning of 1899. Nine other contests in which he won seven, the others being one draw and a no decision bout, finished up the year. On January 9, 1900, he lost his title to Terry McGovern, the match being made at 118 pounds, regarded as a compromise weight, McGovern then being the best bantamweight in America, while Dixon held the featherweight title. Dixon was beaten in the eighth round. The great little champion was not discouraged by the reverse. Although he was never able to regain his title, he remained in the ring and fought with varying success, both in this country and England, until his last battle in Providence, R. I. When George Dixon died in his home city three years later he not only left a memory of being one of the squaresat athletes who ever graced the field, but he had proven himself the best featherweight developed in this country.

No longer need the prospects of having to wear a wig distress men and women who are rapidly becoming bald, or who have already lost most of their hair. "GLOSS-O"—The name given to this wonderful compound—has been tested in every way, and found that it will actually cover the human head with hair, providing that hair roots have not been destroyed, in three months. Its properties are so remarkable that not only does it grow hair, but also improves the quality of existing hair, if it is gray or fading it will frequently restore it to its natural color within two or three months. No stronger argument can be used in its favor, than people who have tried almost every known thing for promoting hair growth, such as tonics, pomades, etc., with no tangible results, have found that "Gloss-O" only, will do what other things are said to do—grow hair. its discovery, a little over four years, go, it has taken the world by storm, and thousands of men and women are now living proofs of its efficacy. very known hair trouble will succumb to or hair diseases, such as dandruff, fall on completely cured with two or three undoubtedly unexcelled.

Here is a Good, Safe Investment on Reasonable Terms—Let's Make it a Sweeping Success. After five months' disposal of stock has a few shares left which it places at the disposal of the public. This is a chance for a good and safe investment. This is a $500,000 incorporation and well financed. Its purpose is to manufacture caskets, robes, hardware and general funeral supplies. A deal is now being closed with Ross & Cunningham. Real Estate Men, for eight acres of land, located at Hapeville, a suburb of Atlanta. The Colored Undertakers of the United States stand behind this enterprise, and well known business men like David T. Howard, Lucius Lee and others of this section and throughout the country, not only endorse it, but support it by buying stock. They realize it is a proposition wherein a demand for the product does not have to be created, its caskets and funeral supplies will be used as long as time goes on. The twelve hundred Colored Undertakers of the United States behind this enterprise. We wish to dispose of a little more stock among our people, and the proportion for the few shares we have for this section: Each share is worth $25, and each term is 5 per cent. cash or $1.25 with application, and $1.25 each month until fully paid. With first payment we will issue an assessable certificate, and when fully paid a non-assessable certificate will be issued. We go further; with each assessable we will issue an agreement, whereas in case of death of any stock holder, if said stockholder's heirs have not the means, or if they so desire to return to the Company, one share of the deceased stockholder fully paid up we will give for each share returned $50 on funeral expenses. This can better be explained by writing or calling on us, and seeing our full agreements. Just think, each share is $25, at which rate you have more than 20 months to pay for, and plenty of time to see the factory in working order before you have paid much of your stock. We go further still; in each State we will place a supply house, where we can ship our goods in car load lots from the factory and meet the demands for the quick orders from the Undertakers in each State. As stated above, we have a few more shares to dispose of in this section, and are appealing to the men of race pride to take them up. In a year they will be worth almost twice their present value and paying a larger dividend. This factory we expect to have ready for operation by first of year. We should be pleased to have you call on us or write us. Atlanta, Georgia Greatest Discovery of the Age A Boon to Colored Women Let Bleachine Give You a Matchless Skin Every woman prizes above all things a clear, beautiful complexion, because she knows it is one of the greatest charms of her sex. Every woman can have such a skin if she wants it. This most wonderful preparation bleaches dark and discolored skins so that they become fair, clear and matchless. Every woman is desirous of either retaining or obtaining a fair, clear skin, and nothing so detracts from beauty as a blotched, muddy complexion; and we are glad to say that if you are in this condition or show any signs of becoming so, the remedy is within your reach. Would you not be glad to apply, upon retiring, a delightful fragrant, soothing lotion to your face, arms, shoulders and throat, and awaken in the morning to find a wonderful transformation already begun? Would it not awaken your enthusiasm to see your skin actually becoming more white? All of this may be easily accomplished with BLEACHINE. Bleachine acts so mildly on the skin, smoothing and soothing the roughened cuticle, and, at the same time, removing the discolorations or sunburn, and accomplishing it all in such a short time that each morning when arising and looking into your mirror you are astonished at the change which has been wrought while you have slept. After a few applications you should notice a change and your skin should become two or three shades lighter, and if you will follow directions for package, you will become fair and and all spots and discolorations will disappear as if by magic. This delightful preparation has been perfected after a series of scientific experiments with the object of obtaining a lotion, which, while bleaching the skin, would not cause irritation, but would be soothing and pleasant to apply—and we present to you this fragrant, healing, non-irritating bleach as the result of our efforts. We look on our work and are satisfied, because it is PURE AND HARMLESS, and because it has STOOD THE TEST. For the convenience of those who find it difficult to buy the larger size bottle we are putting Bleachine up in 4-inch bottles, which is enough to last about one month and for which we sell at the low price of 50 cents. So confident are we that Bleachine will do all we claim for it that we are willing to guarantee that if it does not bleach and beautify your skin, that we will cheerfully refund your money, so you see that you have nothing to lose as we take all of the risk. Write us at once and enclose 50 cents and we will send you immediately, all charges prepaid, this marvelously effective treatment and you will soon have the pleasure of seeing the dark, muddy color of your skin fade into a beautiful cleanness, delicate and transparent. 624 Valley Ave., WRITE AT ONCE TO
