The statement of the issues involved in the decision to present Judge Terrell, gives a very clear indication of the reasons that influenced the decisions to seek the relief indicated in the rules. Advised by Attorney Ridout to File Petition. the judgments and many of the claims listed in the schedule grow out of the need to provide for former stockholder in an incorporated joint stock company known as the Capital Savings Bank which closed its doors in 1995 and whose failure he was in no way morally responsible. These judgments are now available and the statute would soon be barred. Some of the owners of them threaten to renew them against him by further accrual of the debt. The time relieved themselves of this burden by taking advantage of the bankruptcy act. Under the conditions set forth in the bill, his inability to meet these judgments and claims in full, I have advised that this time there does not appear to have been any effort made to collect these judgments from the dozens of co-workers against whom they were obtained. It is reported that an effort has been made to collect the salary of $500 per annum as a member of the faculty of the Howard University Law School.

The sermons were quite timely and very useful, especially to the younger people. The Misses Josephine Browning and Owen Browning were Pittsburgh callers one day last week. The Star Lyceum Concert Co. rendered a grand program in Carnegie on the day of the sermon, presence of a very large audience. Among the features of the evening was a short play entitled "The Woods," and the two sketches by the blackfaced comedians, Messrs. Lee Lynch, Thos. Browning andhos. Harry Woods, also blackfaced comedians, were very amusing. A number of McDonald people accompanied Mrs. Chan Reed, Mrs. E. L. Shelton calls Mrs. Lee Lynch were Pittsburg callers one day last week. Miss Emma, spent Sunday in Elizabeth, Pa. Mrs. R. E. Tweedy, Mrs. E. L. Shelton and Mrs. W. Minor attended the sermon, Longwood in Pittsburg, on Monday.

What ever may be the cause, it is painful to me to note the fact that ten or twelve men in our nation are the most loyal citizens of the nation, are deprived absolutely of their representation in the national capital, are deprived of interest on our part, and an unwillingness on the part of the white people to advance the interest, so to be their best friend, if it is not believed now, and I verily believe that the time is ripe for the negro to be treated as a real man, and it seems to be that the best thing to be done in this connection is to send the negro to the commission, whose functions would be to deal with these matters, give questions generally, contend, and give unfavorable legislations, condemning unfavorable legislations, giving our people general information, as to the rights in connection with the civil services, and with special notices of the civil services, land and pension departments and such other information as would influence This commission could be maintained by voluntary contributions, by organizations and individuals. I should suggest that nine or more, with efficient clerk force, would be able to handle the work very satisfactorily. This commission would be assigned to all other department heads would be to other races in this country. While they would not have rights to enact laws to pass them, they would show to the civilized world that we are dissatisfied upon conditions and that we desire to improve of the same or else the opportunity to own conditions. You will find a very few of our people, who believe in the segregation of race, and we will not for the race to secure sufficient consideration to protect itself in this mixed condition, then something has to have to happen. We must not have no race in attaining the heights that should be attained can succeed, without approval or disapproval, and they are not entitled to every privilege that belongs to civilization or citizens; and I appeal to every one of you to read this article to give me your expression, whether approval or disapproval, as early as possible. We must be in the defense of the youth of our race, we who have reached our majority, must in some sane way, approach these important questions and thrash them. The above by R. Stout, D. D., L. L.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1915. While counting our dangers don't forget the "Birth of a Nation," that vicious moving picture production. If President Wilson's administration is only responsible for twenty-five per cent. of the segregation of the colored employees at the capital he, the President, needs a chromo rather than abuse. Haytit's revolutions have been so rapid that its recent ones have escaped us. This is another household that is a candidate for abatement as a nuisance. These two countries, Haytit and Mexico, are giving this country the marble heart. Those "No parking in this block" police orders now posted in the streets of this city only go to prove the principle that there should be as few laws as possible. When laws are flagrantly disobeyed somehow we lessen in our respect for the whole business. "The Nigger" a moving picture production is said by some not to be real offensive, others who have seen it declare it to be in the same class with the "Birth of a Nation". Fanny Davenport, in a grand climax of the play, "Fedora," of years ago, shouted out: "Kill, both of them." It was electrifying. The application is readily seen. Our race can do much at keeping back the thought of segregation. In this city and many others the colored people are moving into good houses, the former homes of well-to-do white people. It can not always be said that they make the best of the advantage. Some of these splendid homes at once undergo a change which is not complimentary to the new occupants. Those who will see this paragraph, more than likely, will not be the ones who should see it. A little campaign on keeping up appearances will be very helpful—it will keep the eyes of segregation. We should bear in mind that there are always lookers-on, and who are influenced by what they see, even if they are silent. But do not be deceived—they are not silent when the time comes to speak. Let down your buckets where you are is a fitting admonition. Germany's note is at least conciliatory. It acknowledges some of the charges preferred, answering by confession of mistakes. For these that country offers amends by way of indemnity and apologies the only means of making whole the situation. It debates the status of the Lusitania as to whether it was armed or carried munition of war. As diplomacy goes, settlement in the press, this seems the case. That country and our own will not remain in doubt on this point. If we are inclined to be charitable we will view Germany as friendly, and having no desire to work injury to neutral countries. If that country is really hostile the fact will be known with certainty in time, and whenever the time it will be plenty soon for war or strained relations. In our opinion it is up to us to get the best satisfaction of the incidents of war, knowing that in its magnitude it will not stay confined to strict limitations. All we can reasonably expect of Germany is to be careful, and that maliciousness is never the basis of whatever happens. No government should escape the responsibility of its agents, but such responsibility need not be an exaction of blood—no pound of flesh business. Thoughtful, observant citizens can not fail to realize that President Wilson has a task on his hands. Abraham Lincoln only was faced with greater difficulty than is now facing the President. In some respects the situations of today are more trying than those of the sixties. Mexico is unusually stubborn, and while it is not our fight, the long drawn-out struggle with such bitter consequences to the citizens of that country has fairly compelled Mr. Wilson to take steps which are in the interest of humanity, if not in accord with the usage of nations. Four years of disgraceful war has run his cup over. It has disgusted those who stand for sovereignty of nations. Our country is thoroughly tired of the ugly wrangle. It has respected the independence of Mexico by standing by, seeing them fight it out for these years. Peace is not in sight; in fact, the situation is growing worse, and the country is compelled to play the part of the monkey between the two quarrelling cats over the cheese, that country will have itself to blame. Households have occasional neighbors are not impatient because of them. Spats happen in the best regulated families. But when they continue year in and year out even the most conservative neighbors vote such a household as a nuisance, and which they seek to abate. The situation of Mexico and this country is similar, and it stands to reason that the quarrelling and fight can not continue forever. The country is rapidly coming to the conclusion that whatever the President does to restore peace and order is right. GERMANY'S NOTE. In spite of the preponderance of opinions, otherwise it is our view that Germany's note in reply to that of our country, anent the losses at sea of citizens and ships, is conciliatory, at least. We can not understand why there should be such strong opposing views. It may be that views similar to our own have not been as industriously circulated as those which insist that German's message is evasive, some going so far as to say it is not important to show things and also the many other uncompetitive things seen in our publications, but we fail to see it that way. It strikes us that the note was in admirable tone, the object, seemingly, being to make the best possible defense of that country's action, and just the same as any individual would do, or corporation in court in order to save against a too great a "calamary" by way of judgment. It strikes us that the note was candid in what it said, impressive in its beautiful English, which, by the way, seems more of the art of our language, as such, than that of many of our professors of our speech. If it were evasive it was in the sense of being noncommittal, the thing which every good lawyer enjoins his client. The pith of the business is meant to be reached, one would think, when that country is driven to it by the argument from our side. It is a legal battle and nothing is taken for granted. Our newspapers, the most of them, hold that Germany should come up clean, running and smiling to make confessions and amends as if that country did not have its side. Germany is in no condition to take on new enemies, it is true enough, but Germany can not afford to make enemies of its own people. Its people are partisan just like our people are partisan. They will not stand for their government running up the white flag too soon, just as our own country insists on its points of honor. It would not be propriety in us to attempt to thresh out in detail what has been done or what the notes of either country had to say. However, we take it as being proper to speak in a general way. In doing so we find within us reason for congratulation in that Germany had no hostile intent towards the United States regardless of what happened. This should be viewed as an amicable basis of adjustment, and thus assuring the thing for which we contend because of the absence of intent and the disposition to remain friendly. That our losses were frightful and grievous have been admitted by that country as well as ours. To this is the answer of indemnity—a poor pay—but the most assuaging thing, so far, known. When indemnity is tendered all is tendered. The disposition to do what is possible to make whole the situation should be set down as our victory, if it can be so called. That Germany seeks to get from under the charges of willful intent to do injury to our country should be most satisfactory in so far as it goes. Mr. Bryan has not been satisfied on the point that "American" ships ride the ocean with safety. Germany's attitude is that they move with caution in the war zone, a retaliating measure owing to England's blockade of German ports, the bottom of the trouble, and one that will require reasoning outside of international rules. Even in this respect Germany disavows any intention of making trouble for vessels unless they are believed to carry goods in the interest of the enemy, or munitions of war. The attitude of Germany as it regards the Lusitania, of course, is not satisfactory because of the opposing claims as to the character of the cargo of that vessel. Even this contending situation is complimentary, because in the end the truth will come out and by inference that country will be governed by it. Perhaps our Government expects to treat the expects Germany say "yes" or not to question whether it will have better to move in the future, especially when we have reason to believe that nothing of design will result in harm to the shipping and the citizens of this country. As we said before, Germany also has its constituents to please, and who expect that government to be firm and fair just as we expect of our own country. The questions have two sides as well as other questions. The fact that the German government insists that the Lusitania sank unexpectedly quick, thus causing the great loss of life, can not be construed as an effort to get away from the responsibility. It is anatory and apologetic at once, and unless that responsibility disregards in future the rights of neutral countries impliedly acknowledged all through the note we should not be alarmed about the future. We have already said that we are with the President and the major sentiment of this country. We are in for Germany or any other country paying our country the respect due one government to another. We, however, are simple minded enough to claim to know when there is an effort to have peace. Past destruction weighs heavy enough, but the assurance of a friendly attitude, and which is confirmed by expressions and conduct in kind are the counter balances and which have made for civilization as we find it today. As we see Germany does not expect its note has been wholly satisfactory, a series of notes is presented, whereas many of the other institutions have pounded the one as the end all of the matter. We insist that Von Jagow has made a splendid advocate for his government. He has had his say and is simply waiting the say of our government, and as such things go in the play of diplomacy between governments. He is in an attitude to make concessions and not confessions unless wring out of him, and as it should be, by the force of the preponderance of evidence. LOOKING US OVER. The Pittsburgh Courier of May 21, in speaking of our editorial on "The Equal Rights Bill," which at that time was before the legislature of Pennsylvania, was complimentary in that it gave the editorial so much attention. It was not written without considerable thought, our editorial, knowing well the importance of so writing at this rather trying time of our race career. We do not wish to appear conceited in saying that there is but little room for difference of views along the line we treated. We would not like to think that there were those among us who entertained views very much at variance. We are interested as that publication is interested in securing the very best for the race. musing, a quiet rehearsal of facts rather than a set of propositions of satisfaction at existing conditions. The Pittsburgh publication places us in the latter light rather than that of eternal complaint—our known attitude. The burden of our lay was equal with laws don't do what they set out to do. And in the plaint was arraigned those things, or powers which made inoperative the laws. We indorsed the effort to have special laws saying in that editorial: the same reputation for judgment. His corroborating evidence is at once interesting and informing. But when he charges us to Africa, even so so confidently, he advances a reason which is wholly new to those who have pondered long over the present European situation. Territorial aggrandizement has perhaps entered into the compound of the jealousies in the sense that the more progressive nations are the objects of jealousy and distrust by those in the Street Baptist church by Hall, Burks Chapel's passtire Alumni Association a unites are requested to Washington promptly at 2 o'clock the Sunday, June 6. Mr. Commodore Nieuhaing his enlistment in the Philippine Islands, is hands with his former assemblies, with browns the military carriage, style of a soldier that mires. Well, you can "We are rather skeptical as to the result of such appeals, such legislation. It is right and proper to resort to judicial action in order to cure 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 it is more difficult to defend the courts and the sometimes legislation the right thing, the thing according to law is ordered. But as they consider it to be ordering is often disobeyed in one way or the other." We said that there was but little room for difference of views. We submit the above in proof of the contention. It is a pity that we have to resort to legal force to secure rights in common. The Courier says "other races and sects have resorted to legal force in order to secure their rights so why not we?" We say so, but the pity of it all, nevertheless, is that we must fight for the common allotment of things. It is a pity when one child of a family must put up a fight to win from parents the consideration that other children get. Is it necessary to remind that publication that in spite of civil rights laws we are not admitted to many places we seek? This state of affairs is confined to no one section. Name your state, and you will name a locality which has many places, public places, from where people may actually see. This only may be remedied. It is one we do not care to dwell on, and for more than one reason. In the first place, it is an ugly reminder; and secondly, it is wrong to have it appear that because of this opposition we come and go as galley slaves, wholly at the command of others, when we enjoy every right known to any people. We owe it to our country to concede whatever good it makes possible for us. Are we understood? In short, our race is "damned" and blessed at once. We enjoy the rights of others, but the others would have us enjoy them among ourselves, only. This is not humane in view of the make of the various races. It is here that we suffer, if we may thus call it, and in spite of what we suffer we yet enjoy, thus making it necessary to also praise at times as well as condemn. The Courier especially opposes our proposition that "there is no downright reason for special laws because the situations are cared for in a general way." It is an impregnable point. There are sufficient laws to care for us in any event if they were enforced. Is there room for an honest difference of views? Special laws have been helpful, and as we said in that editorial, because the general laws do not fit up close around local situations. We hope the Courier would not entertain the idea that we hold that special laws are not useful. A true patriot and citizen does not like to feel that he must be especially safeguarded, thus making him an undesirable, rather than being cloaked with the same mantle of commonality. The general constitution has provided for just such a contingency through its spirit and unwritten necessity for special laws. When Charles Summer stood for his great civil rights bill he was fearful that the Negroes would not be effectually safeguarded by the latter amendments to the constitution. He knew very well what the general laws stod for, but he felt and prophesied the perversity of those about us, consequently he would have something that spoke especially and with emphasis. By downright necessity we mean legal necessity. If the situations were not cared for in the general constitution then there would be downright necessity, a legal necessity for special laws in our behalf. We hope the Courier will see through this a rebuke of the gods that would change the order of things and not an easy acquiescence in the change. Is it necessary to say again that we should enjoy the operation of the one law since there is no downright need for another? Because we are not included and cared for does not make the law nil, null and void, nor does it abrogate it. There is a downright necessity for the enforcement of the law! Are we understood? Are rightly necessities equal to the absence of the law? We have the law; we have the enforcement. Which is necessary? Can we even ask such a question? We are sorry to feel that the editor of the Courier has missed our meaning all along. It is not necessary for us to repeat that we are in for all of the helps that will tend to the better day of our racial existence. While contending it is not amiss to read the "log" of our journey, especially if such reading is meant as an arrangement of the forces that beset us. We have watched the struggle in Pennsylvania and as we watch it everywhere, we have "aided and abetted" those interested as best we knew how. We have hoped for their success, and they have won. Do we, did we, did we to caution them that the securing of this bill was not the end all and be all of their efforts in securing greater privileges in common. That recital did not hurt anything, for even the most sanguine in Pittsburgh yet knows that, in the face of the newly acquired equal rights law, many doors will remain closed most effectively against our race: The Courier will please understand that this is an arraignment and not a concession. AFRICA AND THE NEGROES. Prof. W. E. Burghardt Dubois is responsible for the rather startling assertion that "in a very real sense Africa is the cause of the terrible overturning of civilization which we are witnessing in Europe." An article by him of that view, supported by what he offers as corroborating evidence is in the current Atlantic, part of which is reproduced in an Indianapolis daily publication. The professor is especially statistical, and what he has done in that direction is valuable as such. He has done much fine work along this line, having had great opportunity by way of environment, time, and also being predisposed for the work. He finishes his jobs thoroughly, offering the very best that resources can give up. However, as great, authoritative or brilliant his efforts are along this line he has not the same reputation for judgment. His corroborating evidence is at once interesting and informing. But when he charges the war to Africa, even ever so remotely, he advances a reason which is wholly new to those who have pondered long over the present European situation. Territorial aggrandizement has perhaps entered into the compound of the jealousies in the sense that the more progressive nations are the objects of jealousy and distrust by those in the rear. He says rather dramatically: "Eleven days before the Berlin conference met in 1824, three Germans, disguised as mechanics, left Zanzibar. Before the conference had finished they annexed to Germany an area half as large again as the whole Germany empire. This disguised robbery of 7,000,000 of natives differed only in method from that by which England, France, Portugal, Italy and Spain, in smaller quantity, got similar areas." Dubols seems to see infinite injustice in the spoilage of the Dark Continent, thus depriving the natives of millions of acres which were their birthright. He bewalls this fate. It is here, we think, he puts on too much stress. When Dr. Cook returned from the north pole or somewhere else he was much in evidence, at least, for a while. A theatrical performer impersonating him anent the controversy between Commodore Peary and his side of it, said that there was glory enough for us all: for both Peary and himself. The compromise did not do much towards sustaining Cook in his contention. The point is that the dark continent is so large that there has been ample room for all who cared to share in the partitioning. Beyond the Boer war there has been but very little cause for ill feeling in Europe on account of Africa. It is not much of an ingredient in the present war mix-up. "The slave traffic on which the British empire and the American republic were largely built, cost Africa 100,000,000 souls; the wreckage of its political and social life, and left it in the state of helplessness which invited aggression." As a statement of a bald fact, perhaps, the foregoing would be admissible. This admission would mean Africa's loss of independence and life to wreck. Perhaps, it did, but not different to the Incas of Peru or Mexico. The same can be said of the Indians of our own country. All of these were dispossessed of their lands; it is the most that can be said. The inference we get from Dubois is that this usurpation was unholy, when, in fact, the defeat, if a defeat, were a victory. Millions we dare say have paid the toll of the white man's coming; but his own empires are casted of the bones of his forefathers. As a rule the Negroes of Africa are making headway, much after the order of ourselves in America, ten million of us, who do not matter, change a day do not matter for a century of the heightened country and in style. Those 100,000,000 lost in Africa are the ground work of Africa redeemed, not to speak of this splendid America which stands in the minds of men as an elevation in the skies, and like Moses in the wilderness, bidding men look up and live. This is more than poetry. Much of what the professor had to say has value in other directions, but he fails when trying to show that the Africans are power because of the white man—they are indeed poorer in land—merely land. If the gold of Ophir lined the creeks of Africa or if the hills were studded with Kohn-inoors, they were sweetly oblivious of it all. The red man of farther North America never saw gold until it was shown them by white men. We need have but one fear of the white man's usurpation of Africa, and that is, the fear that the Negroes will be degraded in civil rights, the same fear that we entertain of our own country. Beyond this we have the right to be thankful for things retrospective and prospective. IN OLD PADUKE. The "All Star K. of P. Minstrele" Star at Metropolitan—Co.

We have an trombone player, says that he noticed an article in The Freeman written by a trombone player playing the trombone and featuring the "Florida Blues." Now, this fellow must remember that there are people playing all there is in it, also there are some devil that he has not met late, and best wishes to all show folks. (By Joe Watts.) NEW GLOBE THEATRE, JACKSON-VILLE, FLA. (By Roseborough.) One of the finest secrets of success is finding one's true place. Many people find it difficult to little, because it falls in this regard. Many men struggle for years in a life that never accomplish anything that gives satisfaction, to himself or his friends. Some would have won a worthy record, but many do not. They are men who imagine they have talent for almost any kind of calling, and they are men who imagine they have a university of qualifications. Every man has a talent for something. There is one thing that he can do well if he has a talent. Probably some mothers spoil a good many lives by deciding their their boy. They teach them in infancy what they want, and they teach them in what their natural gifts may be. The result is that the boy grows up and learns what he wants, and self. So he is constrained to some calling for which he has no natural fitness. Baby Mack has arrived and is quite charming as before. Fairchild & Fairchild are a big noise. Easton and theaters are like good wine, the longer they are, the better they are on the bill are pleasing. It quite pleasure to get to the theatre early, and Proud Mikhelle's orchestra. NOTES OF J.

MILLER And His Latest Song Revue, 1915 Edition of Mister Rag Time at the Crown Garden Theatre, Indianapolis—Tim E. Owley, Mgr. Irwin C. Miller, Esther Bigeou, Dodo Green and others make up a company of the show's success at the Crown Garden Theater this week. Mr. Miller, the genius of the show, has thought out what appa- sition to make for the show, the kind that the show-going public has been asking for. The show is happy in its titles, "Song Reverie" bination of those things interspersed with witty dialogues, funny situations and pretty stage scenes. The songs are all of a kind, enough people in the choruses to give a most pleasing effect to the renditions. The show is complete, appears to be a successful feeling after having seen it. The performers are capable, they enter into the work with the proper spirit. The costuming is keeping with the same, a possible thread of skirt runs along based on "Bravery." The show opens with the full comedy triumph, Tanner Turner leading in "American Beauty Rose," a pretty song, pretty dance, and a show of looking girls and boys. At the finale of this Miller takes up the lead, singing in a chorus by chorus. Pretty movements are the feature—a red-hot finish—which is a perfect primer for the good things which follow. Miller and Bigeou. Miller and Bigeon do their baseball shirt, the one emendered shirt, the one splendid thing that they could not afford to throw it away, and especially in view of the fans. Miss Bigeon is the 'piece-de-resistance' at this point. She is conceded to the colorful profession. Women voice and presence make this a stand-alone vim, playing on words—double meanings or double headers, one might say, to the delight of the audience. She's just like "Old Soap"—cleans up. Dodo Green. Comedian. Green is a new one to the Crown Garden patrons. But he jumped right into the crowd, the scene of which he is the center, is full of funny situations. Green gets in his good work here and makes good as a player, but he doesn't get from the start. He makes a hit when he has a little controversy with Miller about the grower." His "Flying Squirrel" is a hit. Bravery. Not much of a plot, if any; however, the remembrance of the ambition Miss Bigeau could carry only a brawn man. Miller is not willing to lay down his lot for his loved one. Mr. agree. Miller calls his mother a double support of his view. None see it as he does. He has opportunity to put his own life on the table. They failed at the opportune moment. This was another very bright spot in his life. Mamie Ashford. "Kentucky Babe," sung by Mamie Ackerson of *Abbey Road* and "Song Revenues." She is most sentimental in the rendition, singing in a low, crooning melodious voice which evokes the feeling of reception she received. Miss Ashford is of pleasing appearance and dresses Trixy Butler Trixy Butler, of the team of Butler and Butler, is another pretty stage figure. She sings "Wonder Where My Man Is Gone," which is nicely rendered. The Dances. The "Syncopated Waltz" is a weird presentation with its odd time. It is, in fact, a dance that is other pretty dance in waltz time by three couples was seen. Edward Marrero was seen in the Argentine Tango. This dance was particularly neat and refined. Miller and Bigeou did the "Hestation Waltz" and the Argentine Tango. He won the audience. They excel in this working, making for another distinctly stand-out number of this show of dance. Quintard Miller Quintard Miller is a brother of Irwin C. Miller. He led in the finale. The band is arranged for the close. The full company is on, and goes through various movements which are amusing and entertaining. The bands which winds in and out, reminding one of the one seen in the "Folles." The curtain bobs up and down and the band is peeling with the bunch on the floor peeling out. It is a fine finish—none better. The other members of the company are the bassist, Jay, Francis Wood and Elwood Brown. THE IMPERIAL AIRDOME, CIN CINNATI, OHIO.

Day did some top-notch comedy and his work was a great work. Ham Tree Harrington, who made his first bow here single, was not least but a rival card.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. # A few weeks ago, an article under the caption of "Speed up" appeared in the New York News. It was expedient and consistent and should have been read and assigned to Speed up. This is an age of progression. The era of "Mile a minute" has come and flying machines. One cannot expect to keep up with the twentieth century production in the nineteenth century c-cart. This is also an age of intelligence. Colored performers realize that this talent is a wonderful asset, but the intelligence of the public to the intelligence of the public. Natural talent is a wonderful asset, but the intelligence of the public demands that the natural talent be tempered, colored, refined and then produced as a finished product. White people concede that we are not white performers excel most of us in these arts that we have learned to replicate. White performers excel most of us in these arts that we have learned to replicate. Heridity. Why? We have been satisfied with the article in its crude form. The former has made it a finished product. Ragtime, coon shouting, cake walking, buck dancing, the anco and colored performer. The white performer was quick to imitate, and by hard and loud singing, the gentleman in the south said to me, "You are colored performer with the colored. Now he excels while we look on and wonder how he did it. We look on and wonder how he said to me, "You are colored performer upon the stage as the poorest performer." Colored performers lose in competition with the whites because they lack the color prejudice. To win, the colored act must not only make favorable comparison with the white, he must excel all the most colored performers lack the capacity for hard work, abhorrence, and quickness because proficient in any line; when they attain success they stop rowing and the colored performer is awake from their lethargy a fleet of aspirants has passed them by. The colored performers good in an act or song, the public has learned to look for that act and hear the colored performer. He either lacks the creative power or energy to produce something new or the colored performer fears of failure, failure now and then does one good, it reduces ones bump of egotism and fires one's latent The Standard theatre, with the Smart Set Company in a return en elaine Gibson, manager and owner, seems to know just what the people most desire in the show line and does not understand the lack of cost of it. It was necessary to tear out half of the lobby in order to place a huge safe purchased by Gibson. The most maniac are economizing and hedging, looks like the Standard is doing some business.

One thinks of a minstrel as a happy-go-lucky fellow, carefree and without fear, though he thought his fellow was not but such a not the case, at least not with the Georgians' which was clearly demonstrated when he met the comparator that Thomas Nickerson, an ally of the Georgians, was a paralytic and had been so for three years, and his only support was to help him. He gave her very life for his comfort and who toils daily late and early to give her comfort and care, and needed in every way. Such was the condition that confronted us at Thermopolis, Wyo., where Mr. and Mrs. Nickerson were. What could we do? Of course we You T Jitney Song by FRA could make up a little purse and give it to him, but that would not show him how much money his townpeople, who like him to a person. We were at a loss until Clarence Powell suggested that they lower the public concert the next morning and after we played take up a public collection. We did that and that they would so and a generous contribution was taken up and another invalid was made happy by a class of men who are not so lucky. When the judgment day rolls around the good Lord ain't going to be too hard on men with hearts like the minions, we made up a neat sum among themselves. The show is improving daily with the addition of several new members, who to a man proved good away above the hill, who was the man the Georgias, we have everything that goes to make the best show in the wide, wide world. Richardson is added to the olo, singing "I Am in Heart of the City that Has No Heart." David D.

"Well in the first place," he said, "there are people here, everyone knows that the east has deserved more sprinters than the west. There been a few out here, like Campbell and Parker of the Olympic club. You know, I'd like to meet Parker again, that is a good runner, and I think we could hook up on a fast track we could see a new record in 2022 between us. beliefs and reason for the better com- munication meet. All the ordinary, meets, their own, meet. handicap affairs. I've had to give as much as eleven yards to some of my teammates. Of course, they were pretty slow men. But this handicap makes you run, and give everything you have in you, and handicap is a big thing in a short race. "How do you account that the east end has most of the track events?" was asked. "That isn't true, altogether," was Danny Dijkstra, who has the best hurdles but the east end now adopting the western style and they are getting the results. You will have to wear a helmet, andern hurdles, who originated the style of lifting the front foot over. The team seems have a hold on the high-jump event, although the east holds the record in the pole vault, none of their college teammates have a hold on the foot performers as California teams. It is in the long distance events that the east has the particular advantage." "What's the reason for that?" was the question. California Climate. "California climate," replied Drew. "it makes you feel rather lazy, especially when you go to the beach. To become a long distance runner you must peg away constantly, keep circling the way you develop and wind, and the speed comes with these. But the way you develop has to overexert to do this. The weather is too warm. They get that way and don't want to do anything derogatory. Los Angeles weather, but that is the case. I don't know how it is up here, but I don't know how it is different when the sun is shinning." A. B. C.s WIN. 4 TO 0.

FOUR CARS BREAK RECORDS. DEPALMA WINS. Breaking all records for 500 miles, Ralph DeFalma in a Mercedes Monday won the fifth annual Speedway automobile class. He drove the 500 miles in a Peugeot, finished second, with Stutz cars driven by GI Anderson and Earl Cooper, respectively, third and fourth. All of these cars smashed the mark while driving in the 1914 contest, with finished records for an average of 82.47 miles per hour. The driving of DeFalma was sensational. He had the courage, stamina and experience to drive over the brick surface at a speed which left most of his competitors far in the rear. It was a thrilling experience for him to drive the American favorites and cheered on their lusty calls re-echoed entirely around the track. DeFalma's masterful driving placed him in the lead in one hundred and thirty miles and only once after that did he lose that position. His powerful machine stood the terrific pace in wonderful shape and only thrice during the 500 miles of record-smashing driving was he forced to go The Italian-American's generalship was in evidence throughout the entire distance. He took the turns at a death-defying speed and was always equal to the occasion when one of his rivals appeared ready to take a spurt which might reduce his lead. Those Who "Were in the Money." Pos.
