The Anti-Tipping Bill Passed Over the Head of Governor Phillips, of Wisconsin, Last Week. (By P. R. Savilles.) Senator, have you stopped to think of the wages the porters are receiving in this country? Well, I shall denote to you the scales of their earnings, how they work for the porter with pay amounting to $37.50 per month, for a tourist car porter, which a number of people with a car have paid for, for there are people in this car that do not know about the conditions in which people should travel. They will eat an orange and throw the peel into a porter cleaning behind 54 people and watching for the stations of his passengers. Now, if he don't get some tips after cleaning for 54 people, how do the porter in an care for the little ones at home? A standard car porter gets $27.50 per month with the same number of hours of work for and if no tips what must that porter do to make a living for his wife and children? Can a porter make his service on the cars. If they can pay a conductor, why should they refuse to pay the porter, for he has the most responsible employee in the service of a sleeping car. He is the most honest and reliable employee in the service of a sleeping car. How should he make tips on the car than the porter with a salary of $55.00, $55.00 to $100.00 per month, and $100.00 to $100.00 per business. Because they will not work unless they can get pay for this service and a porter he has to undergo more than five hours of work and then you will meet up with a man or a woman that have brains enough to know that the porter is working hard and then you will tip up 25 or 50 cents the next four or five people will get away from you. If you tip up 25 or 50 cents or 10-cent piece that they have for you. Still the Senators are making laws every day to abolish the way the porters have to support their fami- In Canada the wages are better than in this country in Tourist car porters get $23.50 per month; standard car porters get $42.50 per month; observers get $10.50 per month and the tips are more in proportion and the average tip is 25 cents a night for a passenger. On course, obligations must be so titious that you need a guard for a porter to hold a job. The very best porter that ever stepped in a sleeping car upstairs can be a guard for a porter who way uncomfortable at all times. Why don't some Senators make a law that railroads operate through their stations, he can serve the travelling public without depending on tips and then you can pay him. I would love to see the Senator that introduced the anti-tipping bill appear as a porter under the concession stand and see him up the sponge. The best porters today are out of the service on account of the cost and the concession stand. I remember friends and do for them that do for you and in the long run you will find that it is a good idea to remember friends and do for a new one. Mr. Congressmen and Senators, you must remember that your promo code is any longer with the public. The code must be known by the fruit it bears. G. H. EDMUNDS' LIFE IN JEAPOR DY A UNITED MINE WORKER. 615 Cherry Street (County Jall), Des Moines, Ia., May 1, 1915. Mr. E. C. Knox, Indianapolis, Ind.: Dear Sir—Yours of 17th inst., received. Enclosed and $1.50 for subscription. F.R.M. was arrested on February 15, 1915, upon an indictment from Walsenburg, Colo., which charges me with first degree murder, claiming that the upfront of the death of April 1914, in the county of Huarfano, State of Colorado, slay and kill one P. T. Lester, major general of the Colorado National Guard, contrary to the laws of the states of the State of Colorado, and such cases are and provided etc. No doubt you can recall the terrible times which prevailed in Colorado during the coal miners' strike which lasted about fifteen months. The horrible Ludlow massacre will still freshen from the new. Well during one of the many battles between the striking miners and the State soldiers, a "Major" Lester was killed. Seven officers of the miners' union were charged with killing. I am on the right and are being held without bail awaiting an appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court on a writ of hebaeas corpus which I am praying in my fight against extraction. Will say, I am perfect inliance of the church, which was more than 200 miles away from the county of Huarfano, but I must prove it. Consequently, my address will be further notice. I desire to say further that life in Polk county, Iowa, jail is not so bad as long as you know you are innocent and can read the Freeman. Respectfully. G. H. EDMUNDS, Organizer United Mine Workers.

Overton was one of many competitors and won over the others because she offered the best quality at the most reasonable price. The faculty of Simmons College, Mass., has informed one of the students that she must modify her style and dress to suit the quality at the most reasonable price. They should be allowed to dress to suit themselves. Some say they must be compelled to sign rather than be compelled to go back to the dresses of a few years ago. Mrs. Josephine Pankey is librarian of the Colored Public Library at Little Rock, Arkansas, and works on the part of the pupils of the colored schools by visiting the buildings in person, carrying helpful books and desserts, upon the pupils in chilly conversations. Recently, Mrs. Pankey gave practical evidence of her work with the pupils, especially the "Woman's Exchange," through which she hopes to interest all members of her sex in movements looking to the civic uplift of the community. "Please pass the pomelo" will be the correct thing at the table from now on. MADAM CAROLYN MONTGOMERY, CONTRALTA—DAYTON, OHIO. (F. M. McIntyre.) The recital given by Madam Carolyn Montgomery was par excellent, the music being sung here under the auspices of the Jordan Sprague Street Baptist church. The Madam is a contralto singer of the music, and she is blind by the music loving critics that she is the greatest colored contralto before the Madam. She is also the woman which appeared upon the program with the Madam was better than usual and highly appreciated by the larger audience. Mrs Susie Hopings is visiting her grandmother at Crown Point. Miss Mrs Susie was formerly a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mrs. Mary Candler, of Williamsburg, New York, many friends will be glad to see her out again. The label Underwood, of Xenia, Ohio, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting relatives and friends in Dayton and left Sunday night for Detroit, where she will spend the summer with friends. Miss Yetie Bell, of 30 Washington, is much better prepared, as Mr. S. Bell, the proprietor of the Sanitary Tonsoral Parlors, will be glad to know he is to be back at old stand, 1019 Germantown street, again. Mother's Day was held at Zion Baptist Church, where the number of people were out. It was indeed inspiring to listen to aged mothers to hear of their hardships and to press onward and upward. Much credit is due pastor and members in making the dear message of their own homes and allowing them full sway of the service. God grant we must forget these old gray-haired mothers. Miss Tedie Hickhan, of 137 Olive street, is soon to leave for her summer The most famous church is doing nicely. The famous Marco base ball team, under the leadership of Manager John Matthews, kept the game by defeating the form of Miamisburg club at Westwood Field Sunday before a crowd of $0,000 cheering in the fastest clubs in this neck of the woods. Deem, the Marco's slabman, struck out fifteen men and them down two crosstown and eight clubs through their thiefs for the Marco's by securing the first hit of the fourth in the inning by shashing out a hot two-bagger and a moment when he had walked. Dunn pitched in championship form. It seems that the stay at home team had tough second chance, tried Dock, the Marco's sacker, tried hard to get. Next Sunday they tackle the St. Mary's Cadets, the team which lost the game last year. Thompson, the star shortstop, sprained his ankle, sliding into second base after making a shaking catch there all the time. In the seventh inning he went back to center and pulled down a fly that looked good for two bases, a tally hitter. From the present outlook he is sure to stick with the team. Evans, who was behind the plate, never can be the did Sunday. Without a doubt he will make a fine battery mate for Deem. Ned Gilliam, the star base stop, we probably be the fastest this week from his home in Virginia. MOUND CITY, ILL. Rev. Jas. H. Dennis, of St. Louis, has been called to pastor the Zion Traveler as the authorities of the Department of Agriculture have decided to re-educate the women by the misleading title of "grape fruit." The cultivated fruit no longer grows in clusters, like gigantic grapes, but grows in cultivated state. The fruit now grows in groups of two and three, but generally singly. So you call it a pomelo, henceforth, instead of "grape fruit," if they wish to be "strictly a la mode." The "new feminism" asks: "What doth it profit a woman to spend thousands of dollars and many precious preparations? What specialize in produce? If all is to be inducted when she obeys the natural instinct of humanity? Why may not women follow the bent of her talents and tastes as well as a man? Why should she be compelled to restrict herself to the routine of housekeeping if she prefers to teach school, go into business or follow and call for which she deems proper." What Can You Do? Not long ago there came into my business office at different times two young women applying for work. I knew they were teachers. I knew what they had been taught. I knew they could enter that a drawing room; I knew they had that the quality called style; both of language and decoration. I knew the reception and honor a home. I said to them, "What can you do?" for poverty had come, so the door and the nose of the was inside the front window. "They can do me, 'Nothing':—Selected from Life." A GIRL'S EDUCATION. The task of self-education is a comparatively easy thing if a girl goes at home with her own standard set by Mme. Anita Patti Brown, whose uplifting talks in connection with her high grade musical teacher the young women who have heard her from ocean to ocean, all a girl has to do to complete her education is to learn: To sew, to cook, to mend, to be gentle, to value time, to dress neatly, to be self-reliant, to darn stockings, to respect old age, to make good bread, to keep a home tidy, to be above gossip, to be self-reliant, to control her temper, to take care of a sick, to take care of the baby, to sweep down the colebwe, to marry a man for books, to take plenty of active exercise, to be a helpmate to her husband, to keep clear of trashy literature, in keep a woman manly woman under all circumstances. A feature of the Hessekeepers' Club of Nashville is their roundtable discussion. At their last meeting they discussed "How to Beautify Home Surrounds and help helpful hints in suggestions were brought out by the different members. An optimist is one who is never disturbed, it happens unless it happens to him." Why women marry: Some women marry because he haven't the courage to marry because a man has asked them to and they don't like to say "no." Some women marry because they want little more money in their purses and larger credit at the stores. Some women marry because they want to the word wife on their tombstones. Some women marry for money—money and nothing else. And with it there is little more money in their dreams. Some women marry because they love the man; because they want to be his wife, his friend, and his lover. Some women marry to make him feel that there is one woman in the world whom he can love and cherish, and from whom he will return; because they want to make him feel that if sorrow comes he has a sympathetic, loving friend who day after day there is one who can give him smile for smile. These are the only women worth marrying. Reader, which are you?

SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1915 When persons are particularly anxious to see you get into trouble it is a good time to stay out. We should avoid adding to the horror of this day if possible. The provocation is great, but as long as it was not meant as such there should be a feeling in kind on our part. No man or nation will endure a continuous, studied affront. Is that the situation in this case? If so we cannot escape war. One of our exchanges has it that a Negro lawyer who appeared at the Camden County Superior Court, South Carolina, recently, had to be protected by the sheriff because the natives had never seen a Negro lawyer. It is not said that he was in danger of being hurt; they were merely curious; they wanted to see what a Negro lawyer looked like. And the curiosity is reasonable enough. It is only recent that the thought has become current that the Negroes could take on enough education to be a lawyer or anything else requiring brains. The market is beginning to look its very best. The various "green goods" are resplendent in crispness and color, causing ones appetite to take courage in spite of the sometimes ennui that besets that portion of our anatomy which is most concerned—the stomach. Now's the time to eat what nature is offering up. These seem to be the first fruits, as of sacrificial days, and we, the human altars of consumption, greet them with that pleasure and eagerness that may be as one with the feeling of the ancients when they offered up their firstlings. While we are having ups and downs it is wrong to get the notion that we are getting the worst of it at all times even where the worst is expected. Down in Terrell, Texas, the colored citizens had occasion to thank the white business men for the donation of baseball suits and so forth for the colored baseball team of that city. That's "purty" good. If we get any baseball suits and so forth up this way we buy them. But hold up. It is not that bad. If we do not get baseball suits we get Y. M. C. A. A.'s, churches and other things of a big substantial nature. Guess we are not altogether undesirable citizens in any old place where we have a foothold. R. W. Thompson, the well known newspaper correspondent, in speaking of the production of "The Birth of a Nation," the moving picture play at Washington, D. C., said: "The much-condemned play, 'The Nigger,' was shown here at Crandall's Theatre, and went its way without attracting any attention out of the ordinary. If the film reflected on the colored people, the N. A. A. C. P. did not seem to know it. Many bright-hued colored people saw it and all agreed that the worst thing about it was its misleading title. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, declared that the play's awful indictment of the liquor evil fully justifies its existential refusal to get excited over the play and robbed it of much advertising thereby. Crandall's does not omit persons known to be 'colored.'" Are the colored people of Washington more phlegmatic than those of Boston? Well, Washington has on its annual school scrap. May be that is absorbing all of the surplus energy at this time. The St. Louis Argus rejoices in the fact that the $10,000 suit against that publication ended with a verdict of one cent for the plaintiff. It says the press gang will gladly raise the necessary amount to settle the verdict. It's bad business monkeying with a buzz-saw. A newspaper is a most dangerous opponent. It can speak so loud. Homer speaks of some of the wounded in the Trojan war bellowing like bulls, so that they were heard over the roar of battle. That ain't a patchin' to the newspaper's voice. It talks in New York and is heard in California, and then some. We congratulate the Argus from the viewpoint of journalistic brotherhood. We are not in for crudely the public, or individuals, nor do we think that the Argus or any other thoughtfully edited journal has that in view. We are nature, quarrel, and, of course, a risk in congratulating before we know the facts. However, we take a chance, thinking that the editor is just about the same as the rest of us, who do not think of using our advantage in maligning and making small of individuals. In replying to Ralph W. Tyler who wanted to know why the ban could not be removed and Jack Johnson be allowed to return to the United States since he is no longer the champion slugger, the Philadelphia Tribune takes a position which is the one usually taken, but which is not fair to Mr. Johnson or to the race. Mr. Johnson is an undesirable citizen, who has done the race more harm than good, and should continue harm to live abroad rather than at home own and his race's best interest Perhaps he will be set down as undesirable because of the sentence over his head. And, at that, he is desirable enough on a part of a few citizens. We ought to think of Jack Johnson, somewhat in the sense of a hero. He did the thing that all Negroes are contending for. Not to marry white women, especially, but to claim every right under the flag. We do not mean the defacto, but the de jure. Many things are not expedient to do, but when done, when right, are not to be lamented. America is now standing for a principle in the present war. It may not secure us what we want, but it is a righteous contention just the same. White publications are more tolerant than some of us. More than one has conceded that white men in Johnson's class have done things similar, and which provoked no unusual comment. We go into the theaters, restaurants, and are ordered out. These things should not be. Our race is the cause of it. Jack Johnson's trouble was owing to the fact that he was a Negro. We are just as troublesome as he is. Are we to stop living on that account? FIGURING US OUT. Dr. Bernard Dernburg, former Colonial Secretary, speaking in Cleveland, May 10, on the need of readjustment of present conditions, had very much to say regarding a worldwide policy for establishing permanent peace. He recites the present and past relations of the principal European peoples and those of Asia who are at present concerned in the disturbance that reigns. His recital was interesting and informing, and much of his comment, doubtless, will not fail to engage the serious attention of those who see the arrests. As Negroes we take exceptions to his stand on the colored races, the Africans and their extractions. Here follows in part what he had to say of the colored races in the wars: "Has Great Britain not stood for an open-door policy in China and for the preservation of the integrity of the people of the world, paying the full price to Japan for helping to drive the Germans out of the jargest? Has it not always considered itself a trustee of the white race in defense of the nation, defence against the superior numbers of colored people of the world and does it not now bring in Indians and Negroes in subject races in order that its sons may be spared to fight? Great Britain knows the crime it is perpetrating against the future. The white race is the most naturality of its color allies, whom it is now teaching that they are the real thing, that the white men cannot fight or decide their own freedom without the decisive help of the colored There are thinking Englishmen, experienced in colonial affairs who know the enormity of the action and they shudder in thinking out the consequences of the short-sighted policy. There will be a different Asia henceforth and instead of the beneficial and educational preponderance of the white race on the strength of its superior experience and its conquest of nature, there will be a constant menace from these people, as a consequence of a policy that is sure to break up, at the very first opportunity, the British Asiatic empire. “It must, therefore, be stipulated in any peace instrument that the use of colored troops in any struggle in which a white nation of the white race is a belligerent must not be permitted and that furthering the stipulation of Berlin and the Congo agreement shall be revised and strengthened, whereby colonial possessions are considered as neutralized and must be kept so during any war in which European nations are the principals.” The writer had very little to do in taking a fling at the poor Negroes. Whatever their status in the present fight is not owing to their own doing. That England and France should have dragged them in is their own affair, and they, the Negroes, are not peculiar subjects for belittlement because they were dragged in. We would think that those countries, France and England, know what they are doing, and that they are satisfied with the results in spite of the Negroes' mentality whatever that may be. The question of the modes of warfare in this war has no place on the program of human usage in wars. The Negroes are at least human and not asphyxiating gases, nor under sea bombs by way of submarines. We are not quarreling with Germany because of her method of warfare. War is war, and the niceties of the past, if there were any, were simply the result of a sort of conventional consent. In fact we rather take to the German view of fighting, if one must fight. Why should there be rules? Fighting to the death should not admit of any rules as between the belligerents. We mean that there should be no fighting. While not quarreling with that country we cannot see why any member of it of such standing as the colonial sec retary should seek to dehumanize the Negroes even should their potency in the battle line be more or less than that of other men. If of less value than other men, what's the objection? If of more value why not praise for the extra endowment of man? We are very much afraid the gentleman has made a mess of his worldwide message of prospective permanent peace. UP TO THE PRESIDENT. One of the English papers in discussing the distressing incident which is at this time the talk of the world, said that it was up to the United States, meaning virtually that we had to fight or back down from our high resolve of holding Germany to strict accountability for wrongs endured by this country at the hands of Germany. Naturally enough the English would wish to see us array ourselves on the side of the allies and thus further reduce Germany's chance of success. Many of our own countrymen feel the same way, that it is up to us to do something that counts in answer to the destruction and woe wrought by Germany, not to speak of what appears a national afront. Notwithstanding all this we stand with President Wilson in his program of conservation. Evidently he is, and has always been a man for peace. He is against the inhuman practice of war. We are very fortunate in having him president in this respect. There are but very few reasons why the sword of desolation should sway. Our own Civil War was one that was justifiable in the consciences of all right thinking men. In fact, it will be difficult to think of additional reasons for war beyond the one of lifting men from the slough of bondage. National honor and dignity requires that the strictest inquiries be made concerning the destruction of the Lusitania, concerning the American lives; concerning the violation of neutrality rights, but unless the "insult" was studied, meant to offend, we should seek other methods of ad- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER justment than actual war. Some are inclined to scoff at the President because he uttered the high toned principle that there was a sense of nobility in avoiding fighting. We will not think that he meant to endure determined insult for the nation any more than he would for himself as an individual. The bravest are the tenderest. They will be sure that fight is meant, thus making for clear, clean consciences, the influence of which has its weight in all of our various battles. To deny this would be to upset the teachings which have made this bright day of our civilization. Were the various acts of Germany which has cost this country loss of lives and shipping meant to be hostile, is the question. Apparently they were not. They were meant to reach her enemies, and as great as those losses are they are but the incidents of a great war which has chosen practically the wide world for its scope. Germany should not escape an accounting; not by adding to the present war, increasing its area and desolation unless it be the intent of Germany to have it that way. In that event this country should lose no time in adding to the horror, in order to teach a world lesson that America has rights, that non-combatting countries have rights that belligerents are bound to respect. True enough the native Germans are rejoicing; the Austrians are rejoicing. But the object is England. If we come in for a small part of this contempt it is because of our avowed sympathy for that country. It is indeed up to us to act. It is up to in act in such a way as maintain our prestige as the nation of peace. We will do it in this instance if we avoid the hot heads who have in mind their personal vanity rather than the public weal. The acts committed were incidents of war, while previous, yet they were that. It is clearly up to Germany to modify her war program as it concerns the seas if it does not want its hate of the entire world. If our country can induce that country to be more considerate for the passengers and traffic of peaceful nations it is as much as could be expected. It is human and noble to consent to such a program, since it has but little to do with determining the issue of the war. THE EQUAL RIGHTS BILL. The Equal Rights bill which has been before the legislature of Pennsylvania for several weeks has just reached the stage of second reading. From indications the bill will pass, but without the hurrah with which it was attended at the beginning. It is only recently that the colored people of that state have felt the necessity for such a bill. As a rule they have been going, pretty much, where they chose, in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as well as in the smaller cities. Restrictions in moving picture theaters caused the trouble. In a case which was carried to court the colored people won in the effort to be admitted to the theatres, any of them. But the mere winning, apparently was not sufficient. It is probable that there was a well defined program to keep the colored people out of the better class houses. Hence the appeal to the legislature. We are rather skeptical as to the result of such appeals, such legislation. It is right and proper to resort to every legal means in order to secure justice and proper civil treatment. But it is a pity when it becomes necessary to resort to legal force. The history of this kind of business has shown that such procedure has done so severely more than bad behavior of officers' laws as they concern our race. If mandatory legislation and judicial decisions compelled obedience it would be far different. In honor to the courts and the sometimes legislation the right thing, the thing according to law is ordered. But as they concern our race the thing ordered or the ordering is often disobeyed in one way or the other. The railroad companies have been enjoined to provide equal facilities for Negro passengers. They pay it no mind. Every community in this commonwealth of states is enjoined by the letter and spirit of the general constitution to accord every citizen the same consideration. As it concerns many of our communities those laws are "perfectly" dead. In Indiana we have a Civil Rights law, but it is useless; it simply cumber the statute books, adding merely to their bulk. Of course, there is no downright reason for special laws, since the situation is cared for in a general way. That is, there is no downright necessity in the sense that the situation is not cared for. The apparent necessity comes from the fact that the general laws do not fit up close about local situations. To get the benefit of the latter amendments to the constitution it has been found necessary to fight a case up to the Supreme Court. If this awful process were the end all of the business it would be possible to treat to that court and get one decision for all time. Unfortunately and perhaps fortunately that great court can not issue blanket decrees that can care for every possible law suit. We note that if it "undoes" a trust, it must yet undo the next one—one at a time. When one files a suit against a theatre or restaurant the statewide law arrests the procedure towards the Supreme Court, thus localizing the laws, making what is expected immediately mandatory and less expensive. A poor suitor could not be expected to carry his case to the Supreme Court. The fact that the suitor gets justice quicker by means of equal rights laws does not insure but one suitor at a time. He may win his suit today and tomorrow be again refused his request at the theater or restaurant. That's what we are confronted with. We mean to say there is no sentiment behind these laws; no compelling force; they do not serve as examples. The suitors are worn out by expense and facial decisions and judgments that remain only as such. We said unfortunately and perhaps fortunately, advised, that blanket decrees cannot be issued. We have in mind our peculiar racial situation. Much must be considered of which the pure laws know nothing. Our race should contend for the greater civil rights by all the legal methods at its command. However, when it comes to situations which border on the social it becomes us to be very circum-spect. When it comes to gilded palaces and other concerns where there have been a lavish outlay of money in appealing to classes our judgment must teach us as to the advisability of battering these doors. We know fairly well what is due us according to our environment, standing, not to speak of our race with its stigma of previous condition of servitude, and as a dark people—court decisions can not bridge these gaps, and because the courts are also the people. We are with those who would resort to expedients to boost along their civil rights, yet we know that a sentient people will all we wish. The colored people of Pennsylvania will lose nothing in getting the equal rights law, but they need not be appointed if it does prove an效ual panacea for all of their ills.

The team's defense has a hard Hutchinson, the short stop, is doing some clever work at the post held by Lloyd last year.

Walker, the only real sportsmen of Gallitan county, has just returned from the Madison river country, where they made up a dynamic record. The secret got out by an eye witness, who claimed Jim had a club while Walker fooled the fish up to him with some grapes. Jim is sure some stick man, because the boys had fish weighing well by the way from one to ten pen. The way was glad to be back home. They are the specimens of Matt and Jeff, as Jim is taller and Matt is shorter. They both looked like men who had been at the front for some time. The boys are sure some fishermen. Benjamin Dorsey arrived May 6 from Philadelphia and reported that he was glad to get back. Don't know when he will go East again. Mr. William Barnes has arrived here from Missoula.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. IRVING JONES & ROY JOHNSON CREATE ROARS OF LAUGHTER AT THE GRAND—GENE GREENE.COMJING. It did not take long for Irving Jones to show that he is still a master of original Negro comedy modernized by his continued ability, as a creator of roars of laughter, and Roy Johnson has more than once demonstrated his supposition of the black-footed gong-the-tree fantastic and acrobatic swings, who has no superiors. Argo, a harp soloist, who played "Tempest of the Heart" and other medley grand opera numbers, including syncopated selections, was quite an artist. Harry Wyatt & Co. in the early years of his life was fact-in the support. Wyatt himself enjoys a lively personality and good comedy against, which takes well. Black & Leslie, a cripple comedy actor, and soubrette, was well liked as the Florence troupe of acrobats was also on the bill Gender is a play, who remained the week, which is a result of the metremanship of the early popular. The other acts of the last half of last week were Gardner & Collia, a crudely entertaining telephone girl and red-headed messenger. The rest of their act was good, including their comedy. Hendrix & Pa-dudino, a pianist and good singer, were middle class comedy and Mary & Emily Green, eccentric musical artists were good entertainers. The Advent of Mr. Gene Greene. The coming of Gene Greene, the white king of ragtime, to the Grand next advent because he has extracted more popular favor from his own race than any other singer in his line. And the advent because he has extracted more he carries an automobile full of songs and his colored chauffeur is no more than little Roy Bird, champion wrestler and now the white people of the south side, who have heard of Greene turn out and all the soldiers of the army will be full that Greene and his trade marks will be memorial.

NEW GLOBE THEATRE, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (By Roseborough.) Two hours spent at a good vaudeville show, such as given by the Globe, is a great opportunity. Many doctors will give that advice. There is no use giving her any more medicine like a good laugh, to laugh lovers and laughmakers are always held out the hand of fellowship.

No one would think for one time that it was a woman doing that male role. She is a comedian, pretty, feminine, pretty. On the stage she is distinctly a man, bold, aggressive, very funny.

Those with whom He labored loved, those whom He had taught, healed and restored. At last overwhelmed, by the last anguish and ingrudience, He leaves in his lonesomeness and agony of spirit, "My God!

An act and a regular salary usually means that performers will work well until he or she gets a job. When the show is a "worked-pocketed, they become "knockers" and disturbers, resent being reprimanded, jump down the door, not having a way of the factor to be their worsens. In nearly every city proprietors of boarding houses and hotels tell tales about the "theater" and the "theater" and the "theater" and the "theater" who leave without ever writing back and saying: "I thank you," who never make any item of the work.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TBE, PHILADELPHIA. The McCarvars, a team of funmakers who work well together, carried along the burden of the game in the New Standard theatre.

We are now in Oklahoma with Kansas to follow. Every one is all smiles and walks every Sunday. We have had three new members to join us. Mr. George Christen, our pastor, Tom Edwards left us at Lubbock, Texas, and we all miss and flowers, a believer in equality and justice, fairness and honesty; and ever since these two were made mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates." The Colored Theatrical Guide and Business Directory, Wm. H. Ward, compiler, makes its initial bow to the theatrical and traveling public, and will be found indispensable and full of useful information concerning the colored race in theatrical and business industries. It will also be found a very valuable asset to its advertisers in reaching the better class of the colored race. As yet, the Guide is only a booklet, but if Theatrical folk and businessmen will rally to its support and help it to grow, its size, influence and effectiveness will be rapidly increased. Aside from the theatrical column, the new model of the book we have now theatrical publication. Several have been started but failed principally from lack of support. It is up to us to keep the Guide from suffering a like fate. The price is within the reach of all, only to the future. The new model of the Guide is now on the S. H.

It is moving, it has been denounced by many of the leading white citizens of the city. While many white organizations thousands of membership petitioned against the Legislature's law placing a censor upon all pictures that incited such hatred. The colored people of Boston gained of success in suppressing the picture. . . Chas. Lucketh Roberts, the world's greatest ragtime pianist and composer of "Junkman Rag," "Pork and Beans," and many others, entertained several members of the Smart Set Company at a special dinner party.

The evening was delightful, spent with feasting, and dancing. ... The flat of Miss Jennie B. Hillman, 45 West 1324 St., was entered and robbed while Miss Hillman was attending a performance of the Smart Set, the first of the other. Nothing of value was taken, the thieves contenting themselves with robbing the gas meter, which contained 25 cents, the refrigerator, a few toilet articles, in-depth sound perfume, and a so-called so-sourcing set, razor, and a pair of house slippers. They were probably foiled in getting the silver and valuable cut glass by the entrance of the house. The first and most common of this is the second time the flat has been entered by thieves in the last four months. Some of the colored newspapers and periodicals and many individuals still in the office were so long as to be present, and company as the Southern Smart Set. The word "Southern" has been dropped since the retirement of S. H. Dudley and the consequences of the drowning of this company from the road. The present company being the only Smart Set Company on tour and covering all territories North, South, East, and West, was proposed to be called the Southern Smart Set Company, meaning no offense to our many Southern friends, whose fidelity and loyal support have made this company possible.

Shows may come and shows may go but like Tennyson's Babbling Brook, we go on forever. That is to say, we are on our summer tour. The show don't close, and of the show the press and public everywhere are unstinted in the hearty approval of such talented performers, under the master hand of Jerry Mills, while the band is under the leadership of P. G. Lowery (the mighty), and while we have these two producing geniuses at the helm we fear no one, no where. Of course as usual, Clarens Powell is the star of him so much has been said through these columns that it would be useless to say more, as nothing can be added to his already great reputation, as no one does it like Powell. And the same may be said of Manzie Campbell, whose comedy style is so different from the rest that each night "Manzie" gets his three and four encores and scores heavily. The last is David David's (Somone Kid) opens the show with Tipperary, and to hear the house storm for him one would think that Jess Willard had stepped out. The Somone Kid is some come THE FREE MILLARD ANNUAL UUSTATED COLORED NEWSPAPER dian as well as ED. Tilliver, of international fame, who is one of the new utilities, men that work good wherever put. Of the singers, Sydney Kirkpatrick heads the list with that rich, resonant baritone. Ed. Simey would eat by hold his own in any class you put him in. Jno. A.

Dear U Telll-Will the boys make unnecessary remarks if a paperweight girl would appear in tights?-Timid Tena. Answer-Don't see why. The English dudes are appearing in tights every day, Tena. Minor's great play, "The Power of Faith," should hurry, for we have to learn that anything like the last one, well find room for nothing but charity. Performers kick when the critic says their act is fair, but they like a fair lady. Dear U Telll-I am a lone girl, with no one to look to for information. I started a vaudeville house a few weeks ago and the business is going nicely. Being a woman of a new profession, it takes me in the dominion of worry to sit in my theatre and watch the audience give good acts that would you advise?-Maldenly More. Answer-The Two Sweets would take some of the rhubarb out of 'em, May. Col. Brown is contemplating cake walks for the Pekin, Chicago. Let's come in style in ladies' apparel were, once upon a time, adornments. "Birth of the Nation" caused sensation, Can not be denied.

Mr. Sylvester Bevard, trombinist in B. & O., is Mr. and Mrs. Bevard, the big horn, gets plenty of big tones and is a valuable little one. The big horn, gets plenty of plenty of clarinet, but two more would make our reed section in first class shape. Our band is good and we concoct a great band, also, and play the shows without a hitch, something unusual for an orchestra that has several programmes for the different instruments. Rastus Lee got lucky for a minute. The boys have been "romping" while in Oklahoma, all having some big things. Regards to the profession.

MULLER PUTS UP GAME BATTLE WITH WILLIAMS — SAILOR BURTON DEFEATS TERRY MARTIN—BROOKLYN, N. Y. Banty Muller, substituting for Harry Gardner in a bout against Frankie Williams at the all-colored leagues, sprung a big surprise on his opponent as well as the fight fans, who expected to see him win. But he was not the winner, he put up one of the gamest battles ever seen in the Vanderbilt A. 7-6, ring. He hit the ball out of bounds, the latter was well tired out at the final bell. There was not an idle moment in the bout. Both boys were roundly cheered by the fans at the final. The first round started off in furious fashion. Muller heckled the fans, Williams punching away steadily while blocking most of Muller's punches.

General Delivery Williams busy in the second round, but the latter's punches failed to budge the ball. Williams punches the round Williams punches cut Muller under the right eye. Williams landed terrific left hooks to the body and head. Muller scored with a few uppercuts. The round wound up in a furious exchange of punches. Muller scored up in everything handed out by his opponent in the fourth round and that was a victory. Williams punched swings and jabs. Muller punched steadily, but Williams blocked practically all attempts. The fifth round for Muller still took the body and swings for the jaw, but making no other impression than to cause Muller keep moving. Williams was the slowest of the bout. Williams stalling through the three minutes, blocking all of Muller's attempts to the seventh round. Williams punched away at Muller as fast as he could swing. Muller was waiving, as was the cut under his right eye. Williams punched so often that the sound of the bell was welcome to his ears as it undoubt- Muller's left eye was puffed up in the eighth round and dark nose was visible. He appeared to be puzzled at the strength of his opponent and the latter's willingness to keep mixing in spite of the punishment handed out to him. In the ninth round Muller came through with brilliant work and almost was a punch every second in the round. Both boys were tired in the tenth, but still punched away at each other until the bell. The weights were, Willie said, "Muller's." Wee Wee Barton, 138 pounds, found little trouble in outpointing Kid White, 150 pounds, in another of the ten-round bouts. In the first round Barton jabbed to White's face, the latter coming in wide open after Barton all the time. White's ferocious fighting poses featured the second round. Barton hit often. In the third round White came out under full speed and landed some hard wallops to Barton's head. Wee Wee had the best of the punching in the latter part of the round. Several of Barton's wallops caused his heavy opponent to wobble in the fourth. In the fifth White sustained a cut under his left eye. Barton dazed his opponent in the sixth with straight jabs to the face and body. Wee Wee's right drives to the body featured the seventh round, and straight jabs to the face rocked White in the eighth. In the ninth and tenth Barton punched away at both face and body but could not upset White. "Coke" Williams defeated Smoke Jones in a four-round out. Both teams took the prize in this line. Williams carried the battling to his opener at all times and ended with a win. At the end of each round. Smoke's nose was bleeding from Williams' jabs in the fourth round.

SPORT VAGARIES. Honus Wagner's Gun—The Baseball Business Not as Easy as It Looks to be—The Greatest Boxers. (By Billy Lewis.) Last week I said there were other Hamlets in the sporting business besides the erstwhile champion of Hamlet, the sleek slightly of him, for he was most excellent subject. However, he was not of those integrity — veritable for journalistic integrity — veritable for him. He called for some passion, but none too much of the truth. Gross stuff was grabbed by the greedy devil, but the most refined — nothing new was the demand; never mind about the truth—give us something new. And they did. This column was grabbed "to sport" by its calling. Always adhere to its calling. Now and then there will be side excursions, and into varia-tions where sport has no maturation. Now it will try to learn given expositions when on these hybrids, but more or less Quixotlx expositions will be taught, thought or what appears is thought to be extravagant it should be set down as the nature of the sport, and the secretary to have spoken of the intent—just let it advertise it—self but I have seen people at the theatre who laughed in the wrong place. This is notably true of my own By the way the moving picture business is doing a kind of good that was not dreaming of colored people to read to read to read — regular night schools. There is that great desire to read which makes it a possession — that less than half of them usually tend a show not long since, right here in my home town, Indianapolis. A couple of years ago I could read every day in my ear with such a persistence that it seemed malignant. It was to inform me that I could read everything that they could put out there. And she did very well, missing only one word. She run over me, and I could bluff good. But mentally I called her hand. It annoyed me a bit, but looking at her, I thought, while you are reading, you are out of mischief. I think she noticed that I was annoyed because just about that time she commenced reading. When the manuscript went she was floored, taking the full count of ten. This was an unexpected event that she was braver in her efforts at reading the labels as if she had to make up for lost ground. The name of course, on each series of pictures, but she read it each time, reminding one of the phonograph which announces singing and then says, "Go on." Now, then, back to the subject I started out anent the excursions, by-products and so forth. I will let that be said, in that Chayyam, have a word to say approx: And naked on them Were made a shame—were't not a shame for him In this clay carcass cripple to abide. But there will be no skyrocketing done at this juncture. I promised to tell of Honus Wagner's $65 gun in this issue. Now, should I do the thing proper, I would introduce the next installment by a symposium of what has proceeded, giving the readers a fair insight into the past, provided they have not read it, so that they could thoroughly appreciate what's in store for them. But this is no regular serial. "It is yours," said the scribe, turning it over to Honus. Wagner found his tongue and talked as he had not talked for years. The scribe was his companion for two or three days, and A. B. JOE LAYNE, Vice-Pres. FRED BOSTIC, L. F. E. TYLER, R.F. then departed for home with a lot of material. The money that Honus has turned down for the same work would have have been a young arsenal and some apartment building, a case of knowing your man and catering to his fancies, and a shotgun proved the lucky bait. **Shotgun Finally Wins Him.** That shotgun is about the only thing that Honus has made in baseball outside of what he earned on the diamond. No less than a dozen offers were made. Honus to appear on the stage. In a small room, he split $1,500 a week in vaudeville some years ago, but the German went on to split $1,000 a week was figuring on splitting the first week's pay. Fred Clarke once was off the week extra for every week he could keep Honus on the stage in a little ketball. He had to do was to engage in an exhibition of ketball. Nothing ever came of it. A automobile concern that located in the city had a Wagner a big sum and some stock in the business for use of his name in the advertising stunts. He would not listen to it. Similar offers have been made, but he has deviled them all. Turning Down Large Offers. Newspapers and writing syndicates have offered him as high as $1,000 and percentage of their cash, and he has their cash. And then he fell for a shotgun. A filtered water concern once pulled on Wagner, and Honus almost over on Wagner, almost over on water. Failing their photography camera at the Pirate bench one day. While Wagner and Marty O'Toole stood on either side of their photography camera, they snapped them. A week later the advertisement with the picture appeared in the street cars. Honus was furious. In the face of these things how can any one blame the Fed's for not trying to snip his $10,000 a year by the Pittsburgh club for his ball playing alone. A big part of his remuneration is a league when the American was formed. But Ban Johnson might have landed Honus had he given him a shot gun, over with an auto, a fishing tackle and a can of bait. With a man of Wagner's humor these things have a greater influence than the millions of Rockefeller. Wagner is among the humblest of men. He abhors chance acquaintances and he makes pals of railroad men, elevators he makes pals of railroad men, elevator operators, and quite often he will hook up with some poor fellow and do some work he would rather whittle a stick with some poor farm hand than be entertained by a millionaire. On the ball club he holds food for the dancers and for companions he selects the youngest and most obscure "rookies." This Honus Wagner story is not by me. It is too good to steal from me and I will not get it this time. Polonious in his advice to his son had something to say about stealing, who steals my course, "steals" a knife. That walmart his, and belonged to a whole lot of other folk before it was his or mine, but he that filches me of my good name takes the knife and steals it, but makes me poor indeed." It will be observed that the quotation is not literal—it is liberal, very liberal. Some of us do not misquote, nor does he misspell a word. As for the latter assertion the educated man can thank Mr. Webster every day for preserving his status Somehow I like Honus Wagner. I always thought I would like him before I knew as much of him as I now know. He is so human in his make up. Not that he is the rule; he is the exception; but not alone. Here and there M. A. B. --- are such persons, who are not straining after conventionality, not training after the crowds but just contest to so aloof joy in the byways and hedges of life. Perhaps it is not wise to preach up such characters, but, just the same, they have corners to them. They are the delight of the stage people. They have corners to them. They are the delight of the stage people. They can draw. They have qualities that stand out so contrary that they are attractive and loved. We may make such a man, or person, but we can't help but admire such characters. We make such a man, or person, but we can't help but admire such characters. We make such a man, or person, but we can't help with some poor fellow and show him a time." Such a man would not touch your presence. He has no use defense of family and declining days.

Corbett, bid farewell to the boxing fans on seven occasions to the ring and again to the ring only to meet defeat. The first time Peter Mather put Steve O'Donnell out, Corbett, who was dragged through the ropes after O'Donnel was dragged to his corner by his second and in a little speech handed over the big title to Peter. The latter was dragged to the arena, but Mather put the championship in his inside pocket and left the arena [Name] H. A. PENDLETON, Pres. & Treas. J. WILSON, 2nd B. O. HUTT, 1st B. amid howling cheers and glory galore. But Corbett does not stay retired, for when Bob Fitzsimons came thundered by a defiant chlengle, he made a michael Lanky Bob. They fought at Carson City, ev., on St. Patrick's Day, 1897, and Fitzsimons came in the 14th round. Jim again and his retirement from the fistic game, but he re-entered to battle Tom Eckman, to whom he lost on a foul and he had to play his plonship from Jim Jeffries, who, in the meanwhile, had lowered Fitzsimons' colors and had become the wearer of the big crown. Corbett lost both blubbles for good. He has been coining money on the stage ever since—Jack Skelley. PUT BAND ON DIAMOND LINGO.
