The individual must choose whether he will live in the city or in the country, but he decides on it make his home, let him stay there and grow with the growth that community and have a definite part of it. He preferred the the race should get the soil and gather the riches of the earth. He should the masses would fare better in the South, where the bulk of the race is orking out its destiny and will continue to do so, for economic and social reasons. The problems of city life were complex and often difficult to overcome. His humorous sally about the sudden transition of a Negro family from a rural valley in Mississippi to a twelve-acre apartment house in New York City, with electric lights and an elevator, did many other anecdotes that illustrated his many philosophical arguments. He dwelt strongly upon the superior advantages offered by this country as an escape from the oppressive Europe, where he had closely studied conditions, and declared that no Americas and not return without a deep appreciation for the stars and stripes. He condemned without stint the man who heavily upon the Negro who is miserable, bitter and pessimistic because he heavily upon the Negro who is miserable, bitter and pessimistic because he be white. He declared that he proud that he belongs to a race that has achieved so much under the most not exchange races that the whitest man on earth. He said the utterance that pleased him most in the magnificence of pride he evinced in the fact that he was a Jew—and was not ashamed of it. He was not ashamed of its vast possibilities. He wished sympathy because of his identification with the Negro race; did not wish to be a "northen" race. Noting the wonderful advancement of the Negro, he claimed that we are an "up-trodden" people. "Education for Service" Is the Keynote of Progress. "Get all the education you can," advised Doctor Washington. Go through the curriculum, the college, the university and all, if you can. Prepare for a profession, a career, a degree, a training, acquire a trade, go into business, if you will; nothing is too good for the groo. But, let not be forgotten the name the job is service. The best man is the man who can do the best—who makes the best and talents for the service of humanity. In this connection, Dr. Washington dwell at length upon the beauty and the work of the people, and full work is honorable and praiseworthy, and that idleness is the crowning disgrace. He urged that the Negro husbands cultivate an ambition that will make him look forward to a promotion from his position. He insisted that the husband be more confidential with his wife about his plans and his earnings, and that he should cultivate an ambition into the business followed by young men who are courting them. The desirability of getting a bank account, his savings, and his Sunday, acquiring the pioneer spirit in business, investing money in a profit-sharing company, and being asleep, the danger of competition at the hands of foreigners who may migrate to these shores at the bank, is the property owned by thrifty Negroes of the country and in the business that is worth while, and contrasting the easy times in the South, where importance of a healthy body, a clear mind and constant industry were dwell in the business, are fighting for every available job. He counseled the race to give the colored store-keeper a rightful place in the business, down the color line observed at a market where all of the selling was done by blacks. Undesirable roomers were told of to be avoided as far as possible, as well as the habit of "laying down the color line" at once. The practice of trying to buy everything that some one offered for sale was deemed to be unacceptable. Dr. Washington showed how effectively the National League on Urban Conditions is being supported by the conditions, fostering a better health movement and providing material for poverty and encouraging organizations that make for industrial efficiency. A Summary of the Day's Proceedings. At the opening of each of the four meetings of the "whirlwind tour" Associate Director E. K. Jones spoke briefly of the work of the League, distributed literature giving details of the things accomplished, and secured a large number of pledges for membership and liberal donations in aid of the cause.

The principal speaker and Major Motion told some bright, new stories that hit the mark. The audience, without exception, was made up of good looking and well dressed people. The absence of Mr. W. H.

P. by which the former specialize on social problems—housing and crime, tennis, etc., while the latter will handle political questions and protective litigation in the courts. Borough President Marks reached the Palace throne when he remarked that the oppressed race he felt an especial impulse to race similarly discriminated against.

Moore, N. B. Dodson and F. H. Gilbert, and referred touchingly to the memory of Mrs. Anna Fisher, who made a generous gift to the Hampton and other worthy causes.

Even though Mrs. Carter H. Harrison and the ex-mayor's secretary had put their o.k. on the “Birth of the Nation,” and powerful money influences were backing the production; this did not mean that the new mayor from saying, “No, Mr. Carter, the race were right at the door of the mayor telling him of the sensational play which was based on race prejudice and should not be shown in the great and growing west. Then too, there was the reverberating influence of Editor Monroe Trotter, the mayor, who was put in the place of Old State of Massachusetts in fighting to keep the play out of Boston; all this had much to do with the mayor's decision. Condemned by Leading Race Men Condemned by Leading Race Men. In 2014, the men have been severely condemned by the leading men and women of the race. In no section of the country have they been shown. In 2014, the men have been shown. East and west men and women of character have protested against the men and the "Birth of the Nation." They have been one solid unit. While the author has told mayors and centrals that brotherly love in the play, he did not tell of the infusing of "social equality" which were shown to further create a sense of unity. History One of Strife. The history of the film has been one of strife, racial bitterness, censorial squabbles and politics ever since it began. The film was shot in the city of inspectors had a stiring row which ended in the resignation of some of the members of the board. Their conscience could not be made to pass through the film's picture. The play was recalled in Boston at Tremont theater after much rioting. It went to Los Angeles, Cal., and then to New York, where troubles and the Grim thought that Chicago was a "sure thing." He had Mrs. Carter H.

(By Cleveland G. Allen.) NEW YORK, May 10.—The Forty-second Annual Session of the New Jersey Church, of which Bishop G. W. Clinton is the presiding officer, and which the St. Thomas A. M. E. Zion church, of which Rev. W. D. Robeson is passporting, is the institution in the history of that body. The conference met the week of April 28 and ended its session Sunday evening, when the annual appointments were read. It was a record making conference, and before the conference adjourned it went down on record as opposing account of the war. It was not an all-over injustice to which the Negro suffers in this country. The conference had a press message for 1920s passed a resolution favoring woman suffrage for the state of New Jersey, favored a plan that would assist it, and a balance of business construction, urged the connection to use its own hymn books and literature and discussed every vital matter of interest.

Did you ever give her a warm cares? Did you ever einger a little while To her kiss you and, see her hail? Did you ever praise little things she does? Did you ever come home from the daily buzz To take her hand and to pinch her cheeks. And tell the love that she seeks and seeks? Did you ever care when she changed the way She'd be wearing her hair for many days. Did you ever notice the pains she took To fix herself so she'd always look Pleasing and sweet to you when you Did you ever whisper her gentle name In sweetness just as you used to do In the heat of back when your love was new? Did you ever tell her she looked so fine? Did you ever whisper, "I'm glad you're mine!" Did you ever try to follow her whim, and fathom her fancy, and through the dim Drift and dream of the rolling years Sweeten her sorrow and heal her tears, And pet and comfort her heart each day.

Schrutchin, who used her influence with the library board, which is composed entirely of white women. The Norfolk Bureau of Social Services kept colored homes and premises. The judges will base their decision upon the condition of the front and back yards, fences, outhouses and general premise, including the interior of the home. This bit of philosophy was clipped from R. W. Thompson's news letter, "The Power of the People and dependent. She is entitled to the career for which she has prepared her education and dependent. She should not be denied the opportunities she has a right to seek. She can be a lawyer, a co-worker, a teacher, a doctor, lawyer, what not, just she elects, or as her talents permit her to be. The wife is the natural partner of her husband, not his meek and submissive vassal. I beg to acknowledge a marked copy of a Columbus, Ohio, paper, commenting on the governor's decision to give the right. The story of the picture deals a man who has worked his way to the highest honor in the gift of the state, the governor, and one of the first bills that comes to him for his signature is the course of the fight the record of his life is searched and it is discovered that he has Negro blood in his veins. He has found out, and knowing he is engaged to one of the leading daughters of the governor, and knowing he is unless he refuses to make the ordinance a law. But, to make a long story short, he signs the ordinance咬 out the court of the french bride and tells her of his Negro blood and releases her from her relation remains to it, but his refuses to do. And right here in the picture the scene of a lynching is revealed, and the crime of lynching is the barrier to their marriage. With this possible exoneration, the picture, but more reason why the whites would object when one of their sons begs a man known to have Negro blood to marry her and HE REFUSES. Don't Be a Knocker. Under the caption of "Boquets and Brickbats," Samuel H. Simpson has this to say. "Mme. Sissetteer Jones, Mona Simpson, she has led world over as 'Black Patti', has gotten religion and joined the church and gone and joined the church and gone for Jesus. She has done right thing. He never had sad to think Patti wasted all of her youth, youngful, inspiring life working for the devil, then when stranded, for the devil, she has taken the sweetness gone from her voice, and rejected by the theatrical world, she has forgotten the theatrical world. The author is confused in the terms religion and Christianity, for Black Patti may never have 'got real religion' to the square inch the hundreds and thousands of those who prate of their religion. To those who are known to be square as a die, sympathetic to a degree, generous to a fault, honest as the day is long. Instead of being gone from her voice, the best friends have marveled at the sustained sweetness of her notes and her magnificent voice, and she has stranded, if she had nothing but the diamonds, a fortune in themselves, she would be a long, long way from stranding.

Anderson, former Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, was a "whang." The Freeman appreciates the invitations to attend the commencement exercises of the Clarke Training School Monday, May 31, at Washington, D. C., through the courtesy of Ida S. Cushinberry, formerly of Indianapolis, who is now connected with that institution. A. E. Manning, of this city, has been mentioned in connection with the now vacant position, Assistant Register of the Treasury. The office carries a fairly attractive salary. Mr. Manning's friends think that he is deserving of something of a substantial nature for his years of faithful service. Which shall it be, straw hats or overcoats in these vacillating days? Overcoats have checked straw hats, many of the latter being killed and taken. Straw hats say that the enemy was repulsed. But at the last accounting overcoats had moved up a trench or so. It is thought that straw hats will make a general advance, at least, by the middle of the summer. If the Bee of Washington, D. C., is right in what it says about the status of the United States, that city, and as contrasted with that, under the previous administration, the present administration is due a bit of praise. That it added twenty-five per cent to our difficulties is not discouraging in view of the fact that our friends begun the "fund" with a seventy-five per cent. contribution. Wilberforce University is "setting pretty." The Ohio legislature has appropriated $268,088 for its use during the years 1915 and 1916. A $30,000 science building is planned for next year. With the contemplated improvements that school will be exceeded in equipment only by Hampton and Tuskegee. Among the improvements will be a gymnasium, a recitation building, a hospital and industrial shops. Hurrah for Mayor Kiel of St. Louis! He is against segregation and he will veto any bill to that effect that reaches him. The mayor is right. There is much to be watched and regulated in a country like this. But that is what government is for, to straighten out kinks, to adjust affairs, relations between men and between concerns. It does not mean that a part of the citizens is to be ostracised, to be set aside, to be squelched. Segregation is a highhanded proceeding on the part of the strong to wrest the rights from the weak. Once the precedent is established there is no certainty as to where the mischief will end. In the last issue of this publication we had it that R. W. Thompson, the well known newspaper correspondent, at Washington, D. C., gave an account of "The Birth of a Nation," a moving picture production which could be construed as a favorable comment on his part and an indorsement on the part of those colored persons which were admitted to the playhouse. This was a mistake—a grievous error. The play was not the production which created the furore in Boston. The production in Washington was "The Nigger," a very ugly sounding title, but as we understand it, an inoffensive production as it concerns our race. One man saw how the mixup be that the one thought to be other, and especially both are being discussed with their seemingly cross purposes titles. One not on the scene, or when not thinking carefully would see down the production, "The Nigger," as the one of harm, and the other of the highfown title as the one big with good. It appears the other way. Mr. Thompson has called our attention to he mixup, and we cheerfully make the correction. He does not care to stand for "The Birth of a Nation," and we do not blame him. Formal rules of war are much like asking a man in which manner he preferred to be killed. And yet the representatives of nations, in peaceful times, enter into agreement as to how the thing may be done. It all seems so humane when not engaged in war, or to those that are lookers on during the conflict. It is different with those managing the wars. When Germany or any other country is battling for existence they will not question methods of warfare. This seems a rather brutal assertion in view of the known effort to fight according to lines, according to some prescribed rules. And as these rules concern non-participants they are right and ought to be. But they are bligerents with political slavery in view for the unqualified they will not be observed very closely. Pink tea gentlemen may choose swords or pistols and settle a difference on some ground 'neath shady trees by the most improved methods. Here a single shot, hit or miss, very often settles the business. This is not a war of race extermination—men, wo- men, children, home and happiness swept away. When these things confront men the things to win and not the things to lose. When these conditions confront men will not be stayed by nice rules. Cut the whole business out, is it? War is not a necessity. WHAT WILL GERMANY SAY? What will Germany say in reply to Secretary Bryan's note is the uppermost question in the minds of the thoughtful people of civilization. We, in this country, are cautioned not to anticipate for fear of further complicating a most grave situation. And pernaps it is best, yet in a general way views of the German nation's position on the world of sources; speculative, true enough, but none the less views of what Germany will say. Indeed there is a tendency to fix a program for that country. But Germany is Germany and that says very much as little as it appears. The German newspaper thought is supposed to foreshadow what will come from Berlin. That thought is, practically unanimous, that Great Britain is at fault in trying to do what the Germans hold to be a criminal thing; statesmen are not children. And by the way here is a place where war rules are fung to the winds. We are not trying to side with Germany. We choose to stand, with the President of this country, and with the major sentiment. Because we are interested it is not necessary to become so partisan as not to see all sides of the question. We would know the truth; it shall make you free, was spoken in another day and by the world's master mind. Germany deplores the loss of the American lives on the Lusitania, but it will not stand for any "ruse" by which England may profit by retaliation of there by public on the surface of Germany abandoning its submarine harbour. It will do it, we think, when bread can flow as freely to those shores as to those of England. This is human nature, and Germany in her tenacity is plus human nature. What Germany will say is conjectural, but it is fairly sure it will be along the lines of the expressions seen in the leading publications of that country. We can not see much room for a chance of misunderstanding. As "bullying" is what that country is quoted, it will be careful enough not to invite further antagonism. The insistence of an open sea on the part of our country in spite of England's war on German bread is a most dangerous point, and one to be viewed in the light of the situation rather than by broad rules. Our own country has just such a position at home—one that will not yield to broad rules. The Negroes are citizens, and hence due the citizens' portion, but the broad rules are shifted, lifted, suspended very often, owing to the nature of the situations. We are not arguing the case. We wish, however, to make the point that conditions sometimes throw the best rules out of gear. Our country is with the President, but it has no real thought of actual war. And there'll be none unless German insists on it. It is not reasonable to think that country cares to take on more enemy forces, because it looked forward to in spite of the warning of anticipating what Germany will say. DEATH CLAIMS BISHOP TURNER. Ere this the country has paused a while in its turmoil or joy to hear the sad intelligence that Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., chairman of the house of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is no more. The distinguished prelate was born at Newberry Court House, S. C. February 1, 1834. Being a Negro, and in the South, his opportunity for education was limited. Like Abraham Lincoln he was practically self taught. It is not said that he attended any school. He made it practically alone owing to the force of his indomitable will to do and to be which presided over the man; he rose to one of the world's greatest distinctions. So much can be said of this wonderful man that it can not be compressed within this small space. His learning was not what may be called eminent, but it was general, and in a way colossal, lacking the later day finesse which pronounce men as scholars. To be a scholar, and to be thought one was the consummation of his soul, devoutly wished. To this end he studied law, medicine, politics, theology, astronomy, sociology, the dead languages, winning the good comment of men for superior intelligence. Had Bishop Turner been born in this day, with that same towering ambition, with the opportunity of this day it is not extravagant to say he would have been one of the foremost scholars of the world. As it was he won all of the signs of great scholarship. D.D., LLL, C.L. Bishop Turner was an associate of great men. He was appreciated by President Lincoln who appointed him chaplain to the First U. S. Colored Troops in 1863. He associated with Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Arnett and similar Negroes of later days. His familiars of former days were the giants of the then new Republican party—Blaine, Conkling, Sherman, Logan, Morton and the rest of them. At one time he was a member of the Georgia Legislature. He called the first Republican convention in Georgia, was a member of its constitutional convention in 1867; was a postmaster. He held other positions. Perhaps no Negro up until this time was so much in evidence as he was when in his prime. In his chosen church he was an avalanche as it concerns force. Coming to his best in a day when the church was the Negroes' forum, advocate and "king" his influence was of the supreme kind, and the kindiest for the upbuilding of his people, for the upbuilding of his church. Personally he was tenacious of his power, a thing learned of his long line of activities. And when the stress of those activities made for a seemingly somnolent mind, he stood as one of those columns of the Parthenon, somewhat shattered, but still doing duty, bearing the burden thrust upon him. He refused to be retired; and the heart of the great church acquiesced in his refusal. He was greatly loved. And in his last act he was as would be the very end as he would have it—to die in the harness. The bishop insisted on going to Canada to preside over his conference in spite of his years and feebleness. He had before raised the siege of weakness, and he would do so again, as he thought. His 81 years were not an unusual age, but he had been a most unusual man. He established churches in Africa, not to speak THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. of his great itinerary and various, at home—politics, lecturing, preaching and doing things that he alone knew of best. Although of great splendid physique—a Greek model for proportion—he crumbled 'neath the wear and tear of the load. He fell at his post in Windsor, Canada, Saturday, May 8, 1915—the senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church. When he passed the void created will eternally remain a void. Time and circumstance can never come again that will produce his likes. THE NEW VERSION. The Bee, of Washington, D. C., is out with the assertion that huddling or bunching of the colored clerks began with the Republican administration preceding the present administration. It says: "Although this community has been hoodwinked out of more than three thousand dollars and sent to New York to fight this terrible thing, segregation, it has remained just where the Republican administration bequeathed it in its last will and testament to its effect. More than seventy-five per cent of the present segregation was transmitted to President Wilson by Republicans." What do you think about this eleventh-hour confession? The Bee is on the scene, and we take it that it knows what it is talking about. Yet when the Negro press was raging about the wrongs inflicted by the present administration, that publication nor any person at the capital gave it out that segregation was a Republican bequeathment. We confess that it is news to us. It is sometimes best not to speak of one's ignorance; at other times it is well nigh criminal not to confess, because such confession may righten a great wrong. We do not feel particularly conscience-smitted in this case, that we have only abused Mr. Wilson's administration. The two wrongs do not make right. However, we would not have singled out the one administration had all of the facts been before the country. This review of our position will not change the situation one whit, and it may be that no one is interested. It is not the purpose. We wish to be eminently fair, to the point of petic justice, which plays no favorites—the mood is wholly apologetic. But we have said that the present administration is not excused even if the previous administration did set the example. Our argument, of course, and that of those contending loses force if the premises of the Washington publication are admitted. This is no time to be haranguing about a thing which is of so little moment of itself. We mean the segregation of the colored clerks at Washington. That is but one of many opposing things that besets us in our social struggle. The general good of the country is uppermost in the minds of all we thinking persons. How ever we could not forego this opportunity to modify our position, and since it does not tend to antagonize the administration which needs the general nation as one man. The Washington publication says further; In justice of the President and the heads of the departments The Bee affirms that the records show that more colored employees have been promoted than were during the four years of the preceding administration.

In voicing his opinion against segregation, Mayor Kiel of St. Louis said recently, "I wish to say now, that I have already said on several occasions, that the law providing for the segregation of colored people. If such a measure ever reaches my office, I will promptly attach my veto to it. I will never reach the question ever reaches the stage of a campaign issue for or against its adoption. I pledge myself to 'take the stump' and make a statement, if it becomes necessary to defuse it. "But even if a segregation law be finally adopted in St. Louis, I am confident it would become law. It would without a doubt be declared unconstitutional by the courts and promptly thrown out, on the ground that it violates the sovereign rights of the people." Such a law could not endure here and would perish in short order." NEWS OF SHREVEPORT, LA. (By Chas. J. Harris.)

The American Giants proved that they were just as clever on a chilly day as a team of the Giants, and had hardest battle of the season with the Gunners, the white boys losing (3 to 2. “Rube” pitched for the first team game, and the reception and as usual, one could hear from all parts of the park, “go at em,” Rube, “but one over now,” “don’t let it get to you,” the Gunners showed a splendid game, sending two to the bench and allowed four to walk. He was the sixth lining when the Gunners showed a little extra speed and “Rube” being a good general, sent in Walter Hall who was the first time the season. Four hitters a pass and Sullivan’s boot gave the Giants all of their runs in the fourth inning. The Giants proved for the Giants, got a three-bagger, the first one of the season at this park. Every man on the team played scenic plays, and the man, who was forced to retire, this makes the fourth straight game for the American Giants to carry off the honors. Am. Gliants.....

This is absolutely untrue as well as ridiculous for that school to be so unfair as to make such a claim, knowingly, that the school team in the state, and besides they played a schedule of only six games and have been defeated by Selma Union by the score of 17 to 6 in one game; the games played between two teams. Selma Union has rightfully won the championship of the state of Alabama, and hereby lays claim to this distinction, and harder games than any other school in the state and have won more than two-thirds of their games, as they will show. I do hereby submit a true record of all the games played by the representative schools of the state so you can understand the success of State Normal justly belongs in last place. The following is the authentic record of the schools: P. P. W. L. T. Selma Union 19 15 3 1 Talladge College 15 7 6 2 Tuskegee 13 6 5 2 State Normal 13 10 6 1 So it can be seen by the record that Selma Union has the undisputed title to the state championship, if not the South, and lays claim to the same. Selma Union ready and willing to play and defend her title of "Champion," and if not the South, against any team, Very respectfully, SELMA UNION. Selma, Ala., May 12, 1915. Selma Union easily defeated the State Normal School of Montgomery, Ala., here in a game featured by heavy hitter Bertie Maynard, out two of the State Normal's pitchers. The game was amusing from the start because of the many errors made by State Normal for Selma, allowing only six hits. The score: Selma, 17; State Normal, 6. r. h. e.

Bird, of this city, that he who impersonates a character in the grandest attainments known among the highest genius is a genius born of God and possessed with a faculty which is one of the highest attainments known among the highest genius, is a liberal man from it emanated. In these days when the love of notoriety in some ministers of the prophet Jesus is preached to preach against the innocent amusement of the people, when the pleasure of the world is preached before the world as reformers of the radical type, is greater than the logical conclusions that must be de deduced by cold, calmer, higher power in all the gifts of men. No higher compliment could be paid the Rev. Byrd than the statement that he has the courage of The Globe show this week is a No. 1, all acts on the bill last week. He held over owing to his popular popularity. C. H. Coffe, ea comedian who has been as being good, failed to put in his appearance after tickets had been placed for him seven times. en I would consider Jines & Hill the leaders owing to their stuff being so up to date but the students & Cox, and only V. Ewing are making big an impression THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review GENE GREENE POSITIVELY ILL. Fails to Appear at the Grand-Honor Fong Cheng, the Hunger and Dancer, Makes a Jump The announcement that Gene Greene, the white ragtime singer, would appear at the Grand last Monday evenings and people were lined up for the second show. The announcement from the stage that Greene was ill, during the first performance, was a great disruption, but was nevertheless true, for not only had he sent a doctor's certificate of infection, but his colored valet and chauffeur, Roy Bird, the former champion lightweight wrestler and a member of the Eighth Regiment, had come to the stage with positive news of the singer's condition. Bird, the messenger, who was rushed in to Manager Johnston quite out of the way, was on ill on last Sunday night at the Lyda Theatre; that his throat would have to be lanced by a specialist and he was expected to be in prime shape. There were heated discussions, however, during Monday evening as to whether Gene Greene had actually got cold feet or did not really mean to appear in the Lincoln bank neighborhood. People all doubt was at the point. People both white and colored, who knew Greene declared that he loves colored people and had expressed his heartiest desire to appear as the ghost of Uncle Tom among them. At the Richlie and the Elite, where the golden actors frequent, it is said that the who was who was who was around Williams ran rampant with the common desire of the critic who openly denounced them. So endeth the first chapter of the Gene Greene appearance. The bill for Monday night, which was excellent, had a special attraction in the Greenie place in the office of an open critic music comedy company with a good white-face comedian and prima donna and a chorus, except the number in tights, gave ample satisfaction. Hong Fong, a Chinese rag Singer and dancer, made a distinct hit. One of his specialties, a cross between a Jew and the German character, was premature but the rest of his act including buck dancing and rag singing were of genuine merit. The McKey Company, which played a return date in the "Butterleys," and the McKey Company, which port to be very capable actors. The Link brothers gave the usual form of the musical, with the liminary pictures of Eugene Greene's return to the States paved the way for his piano player, Walter Ford, and, as the singer, who apologized for Greene's illness and sang some songs. The last performance was Ray Johnson, who drew heavy all the week. The white acts were Melrose, a genuine hypnotist, whose act was a musical, entertaining in dialogue and dancing. La Joe's troupe was a fair attraction, and the poultry show, including a chicken prizefight in costume in a ring. Harrison Stewart will head next week's attractions. **Program of the Movies.** The Salkin Enterprises are doing a splendid business. The States will have "Three Weeks" Saturday, 22nd.

Edgar Connor, the Original Sambo, and Cecil Mason—Novelty Singing and Dancing Specialty. Connor and Mann are an entertaining pair of performers. They are delightful and charming, with the audience little folk, young folk. Sambo will be remembered as Sambo with the girls, the Sambo Girls, with Code and John Johnson, with the children of the theater years ago, at the then Park theatre, this city. He was a pick then. He is now a young man. Rosamond Johnson is his sister. He was taught the stage business after which Sambo had his own com- THE DANCE OF THE TWO CONNOR AND MANN. pany of girls, and which had made arrangement to join Mr. Johnson in Europe. The war made it necessary to change his program. Sambo joined with Miss Mann of the company, making the team of the company Mann. The little lady is one of the daintiest creatures before the footlights. Her ways are airy, winsome, and she's a beauty in fee simple—I mean her having lost her beautiful arms, having all around her dressing room and she sits amid them and other esthetic trappings as a lady in waiting to some queen. But they are her first, most of the most of the material, soft, clinging in effect; some trimmed in expensive furs. The price of one of them was expressed in three figures. Sambo also has a superb wardrobe. They were noted for graceful dances and petty, cheerful songs. They open with the Mississipp! Cabaret. Miss Mann sings, "You've Got to Love Me! Or Leave Me Alone! With me! You'll Get Me to Love Me! I Want You. But You." They close with 'Dinah. They were repeatedly recalled. They are usually on white time.

She is swell in her hair and is a great straight work is good, also her dancing. She has a pleasing voice. Bonnie is the well known female impressionist who never would not be thought to man. His dancing number is a feature of the act, and he often doing many intricate steps which win with the audience. His toe dance was especially appreciated. Semoura sings, "Daddy Come Home." Bonnie puts on that famous Eva Tanner costume, doing many close with the Victrola Tango Dance. The act is well received throughout. Character Performer—The Tango Man Feature. Laura Balley, formerly of Criswell & Bailey, is now doing single, being seen in this city. She is proud of a great big happy surprise. Ms Bailey is a character performer. Witness her is a woman she is heard singing, "Winter Nights," a verse of which is heard before she is seen. Then follo- wards, she is given the opportunity which is rendered delightfully in voice and style. At the close of this she makes an exit, which is strikingly short time for the great change she makes. It is difficult to describe her. She comes back about as oddly gotten up and starts to dance, the beauty of it that she lives up to her make-up. Her line is a winner, and the beauty of it that she lives up to her make-up. Her line is a winner, and the beauty of it that she lives up to her make-up. Her queer voice and harmonious expressions stop all question about what she does yet to come. Her third turn is the Tango Man. She comes in accompanied by her dances, doing many of the well known tango stunts, some of which she varies in her an ovation. She gets her an ovation, won big, and smilingly took her bows. KEELY and BAVIS Straight and Canadian Kelly & Davis is a quality team. All of their work is carefully thought out and executed. Their 15 or 18 minutes are crowded full of wholesome, interesting ideas. Their 15 or 18 minutes are crowded full of wholesome, interesting ideas. Kelly is one of those classic straights. He dresses correctly, and in all ways play the part of a professional conducts himself well. His leads are done as an artist uses his brush, to heighten the effect. He speaks the most and correct in speech making for situations, which his partner uses to advantage. He is the most confident and a monologist. He is one of those few who can turn on or off. On the stage he is a quiet, refined looking little gentleman. On the stage he becomes a more eclectic colored individual whose forte is his ludicrous earnestness. His grotesque costuming is a feature. Davis is a nephew of the late Ernest Hagan. He likes to present Hogan's "When You Meet Him" master piece. When You Meet Him, he gets Gate!" He scores in this production, when he does his sermon in imitation, when he grooves a groove preacher that he fully creates a sermon. In order not to offend any religious he uses the alphabet only as his words, he uses the letters seen and heard much of what we have seen and heard in the pulpits of go-go. The sermon is original with him. The other steps are in keeping with their work. NEW YORK NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.) Miss Cora Cross and Lillian Rose, exeemers in West Librya Dining rooms.

(As printed in the Philadelphia Press). (Sorrowfully dedicated to the mothers of the War Veter Vera Cruz, Tuesday, April 21, 1914. The mothers are the real sufferers in any war. The heart-rendering caring of widowed and motherless women throughout battle-torn Europe should cause this nation's executive to heathfully and fearfully and fearfully before allowing this country to be drawn into the frightful malaestrom that is devastating a moralizing half of the world. Our great thinkers and fighters have said that war is never right; that no great question is right against by war. War is hell; war is legalized murder. What use in drafting international war is afflicted to civilisers murder? Why need we have war? The modern engines of destruction, when loosed, exact, mighty, any country engaged in warfare. What about the future generations? War stops the progress of civilization and does not harm the warriors. Can honor or praise compensate a woman for the loss of a father, husband or son? "Only a skirmish," the papers read. Meant simply to say "Huerta's bluff." Yet four mother's sons lay stuff and doff. And to these women 'twear war enough. Why prate now of "Measures Short of War." Or by evasion the truth to shun? The die is cast—we have gone too far; the peace dove has flown—the war begun. Where now are the millions that were spent. To purchase us universal peace? Art can be in the dreadful armament. The gods of war are soon to release? Great men may stand in the Congress hall, And orate with patriotic zeal; But the boys at front must fight and fall, And bear the brunt of the foeman's steel. "Only a Skirmish," the fighting brief. A Nation cheers for the victory won; But who can measure a mother's grief, Weeping alone for her only son. Words of condolence inadequate To stem the sorrow for the pain; Nor hope to praise, will compensate For the son who'll never come home again. O God, as Thou wilt; is each mother's prayer. Kneeling alone in Gethsemane. If I drink the cup—give strength to The cross and its thorns of agony! O Christ! Soften Thou the hearts of men. And teach them for what Thy life has stood; Lead them gently unto Thee, and then— Unite them all in one brotherhood.

Business is good in our band and show in somewhat different to the many other organizations of this class and character. We have. We have good on you. We have Everleigh's boy wonder, is still carrying crowds along with him in our daily parades. Do you have a boy contestionist, still holding his audience spellbound, and drawing lots of applause and admiration. Versey Massey, that is, the boy laurels to his mysterious and wonderful tricks. The Watts Bros. come in for their share on the program. The right night man, is exerting himself nightly, helping our funny six against God and humanity, of lynching negores, innocent and guilty, are atrocities committed in peaceful times by men whose only excuse is that of race hatred, and attracts only passing comment from the government's executive. If all the American citizens, who lost their lives with the sinking of the Lusitania, had been American negroes, then what. Bob Kelly and Geo. Catlin, the Chinese and the Coon, are pioneers and originators in their particular line of work, and one of the big time colored acts. Bob Kelly was the guest of J. Homer Tutt and S. Tutt Whitney at a dinner party. Bob is happy in the possession of a handsome walking stick presented to him by the brothers. The Rajahs, Hindoo mind readers and telepathists, were a big hit, and the Rajahs are truly mystifying and bewildering. Unaided by assistants or mechanical contrivance blindfolded upon the stage, is able to describe any person in the ability to recognize nationality, denomination and year of any coin. The young lady also plays the piano and who her partner is, the audience the audience and whisper the name of any one of a thousand selections to him, by the aid of a microphone that indicates the selection desired to the young lady, who plays it upon the stage, and gives great drawing cards in any theatre. Johnny Woods and his dummy form one of the cleverest sketch teams in the business. There may be greater loquishness in the audience with the entertaining, mirth-provoking, thoroughly enjoyable act. By Johnny's wonderful ability and clever manipulation, the dummy ceases to be manicuring, the manicuring being and the jokes, ready with banter, repatriate and general tombofery of the two keep an audience convulsed with aughter. Tolliver and harpelle will be seen in a chapel in the summer season. a new sketch this coming season.

Atop of a vaudeville bill, which measured up in every particular to the usual standard at Gibson's New St. Louis, is the principal this week, are the principal delight. It is such acts as theirs that keep the three-a-day artist in her line and holds her partner up and more. First, she possesses a voice; second, she has a charm of proportions which result in individuality which always charmed her audience in a manner to allow many to be entertained. It is comedy, eccentricity and even THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. a touch of pathos in her assortment of songs, "Hallo Sweetheart" catching on at once. It was her hard work that put the team at the top of the bill as headliners for the week. McKissick and Craddock are back on the circuit of again, appearing in a series of other genres, and dance numbers. The offering of Howell and Chadwick and company won hearty approval. They are supported by eight pretty girls, called the dancing imps, well proportioned, in short dresses and the other of immediately, and the abundance of the dancing dancing and comicalities before a well-pleaned audience. Rollins and Douglass amused. Effie King and Nina Marshall offered a bright, snappy sketch which scored a laughing hit. They worked hard. The author was with them and the week nencored. A novelty in itself was "Bob" the boxing kangaroo—to see a real live kangaroo do a number of difficult stunts in the boxing line, of course, made a hit at once. It was supported by the Gordon of Brothers's and publicists of no much character. The evening was made additionally enjoyable by the appropriate music, skillfully rendered by the orchestra, led by Mr. Charles Taylor in "Knock Out Drops," "Tears of Love Waltz," "Hanako Intermezzo and Meadownook Rock," "Easter" and "Philadelphia."

Allen's band was composed of a few musicians, two tawbuns, I wish to state that this is a very broad assertion and I take great pleasure in stating that I am around here and I'm not considered by the music world as a ham fat. I have been connected with America and my record is there. Write the War Department. Washington, D. C. I don't believe the musicians as much as it was intended for, but I have connected with, but I can say that the show is in good shape, the band is good as many others and things general are O. K. K. I will retaliate in a personal way to this gentleman, but this article will serve to remind others of the fact that there should be sure we know of which we speak or write. My statement as to my having been connected with two of America's best negro bands does not mean that I am in the rank of a genius, but when I am around here I mean today I am around here as a business musician. Let us be careful in the future and not solicit any information about brother musicians or performers because many of us who have the hammer swinging; remember if that hammer strikes something solid there in a cool. He will be friends in and out of the profession. I am very respectfully. J. ELMER MOORE, Cornetist. HUNTINGTON'S MIGHTY MINSTRELS. (Pearl Moppin.)

The ball must be out of the field, or made the range of first or third base is foul. Three balls be struck at and missed and the last one caught is a hit out; if not caught, is considered fair and the striker bound to run.

L. Uuser is principally a diploma to a good number of knowledge-seeking men and women. The school's motto is "Pursue knowledge, seek knowledge, seek old age." Since the age of some of the graduates is from 21 to 50 years, it is clearly demonstrated that the above statement is true among the graduates is Mrs. Harriett Fowler, 4114a Finney, who when sitting at her desk and reciting in Lin-tern, reported that she was credited to Miss Harriett Lacy. The highest mark of percentage for interest in work, good behavior, regular attendance and general report, was credited to Mr. Harriett card. This commercial school mentioned is one of the best in the 'Show Me' state, possesses of several diplomas, which shows that she is not satisfied with a little knowledge. Bookkeeping, shorthand, type-writing and graphic are some of the subjects taught. PaduCAH is glad to claim Mrs. Fowler one of its former and intelligent olds. Please don't compare Mrs. Fowler's age to those of the above reading, as Mrs. Fowler's celebration of Mrs. Fowler's fifteenth birthday. The classmates of Lincoln High School wish Mrs. Harriett Fowler every success, at home at 411a Finney, and on her trunk. During past years Mrs. colored boys have dropped calls to the Falmer House, giving good service, but since early April, when the new management went into effect, Mrs. colored boys hopped "out."
