NUMBER 24 NEWS OF THE N Struggle Over the Board of H Bruce and the S MINISTER RUCKER AND A Fred Moten to be Principal for One Year A "Shake-Up" in the Faculty of H Negro Business Men Enjoy Prosperi det Banner—Washington to Have Ne By R. W. Thompson. Bureau of The Freeman, 15061 F Street N. W, Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—The citizens of the District are awaiting with more or less the same Court, who are expected almost any day to announce their selections to fill the three vacancies impending on them, and equally the choice is made far in advance of commencement time, but this year extraordinary conditions and commitments are necessarily delayed. The town is sharply divided into two camps—those who wish to commence work, and those who insist that a change should be made, in the interest of reforms they think will come about, and in the existing administration. The impression grows that a new atmosphere in the control of the schools is essential to the result, and must feel in a management to make it measurably successful. A lack of harmony among the directing forces, the teachers, and the usefulness of an administration, and for this reason, a change is earnestly desired by the unbiased element of all of the staff of the educational system here. The adherents of Assistant Superintendent Bruce are now trying out their new leadership on the Board. They started out with Dr. M. O. Dumas as the man most likely to safeguard the presidee of the Court, but then run. Then Lawyer W. L. Hoonston was placed in the race, only to be withdrawn later. It was rumored that Bruce sponsored the case by Mary's P. E. church, had a fine "look-in" through the backing of the N. A. Mary, the local banker, the Hon. A. H. Grimke, and the Brucites are said to have immediately transferred their favor to him. Bruce sponsored the case from the local banker, the Hon. A. H. Grimke, and Mr. Mitchell eliminated himself from the contest. Last week Dr. Arthur S. Gray, an excellent young lawyer, was appointed to the case from the Bruce tables—and there the case rests. The antis have gained ground from the outset with the county's brightest educational lights, as their representative, and his chances for securing the appointment are ex-ample of the factor in the race. Much will depend on the selection of the three new members for it is expected that they will determine the life or the finish of the present regime. The situation is tense and both sides are losing no candidate. Before this summary teaches the eyes of the public the decision of the Court may be an- F. D. Morton Given One Year's Trial in Manuscript Through the operation of the "fine Italian hand" of Assistant Superintendent Bruce and the "steam-roller" of Editor Oswald Garrison Villard, chairman of the board of trustees and known as the financial backer of the Institute for Financial School, Frederick B. Messrs. Industrial School, Private Secretary, and then recently private secretary to Mr. E. B. B. was the principal of the school on trial for one year. The selection was made over the protest of the general membership of the board, who were anxious to retain Prof. W. J. Decatur, or to secure a man of tried executive ability and who had had his experience as a director of industry affairs. At first the nomination of Mr. B. was not as likely as it was to be. The only rejected, but upon the arrival of Mr. Villard, persuasion was brought to hear that Iod to the compromise noted above. The opposition to Mr. Morton widespread and bitter, and many of his friends were loth to have him accepted the place under the hard terms of his offer. He was also a member of the Prof. Decatur, all along with to be further considered left the way open and the erstwhile secretary is slated to take hold of his elusive job in August. If in a single year he can make a bowing that will justify his continuance, he will achieve a triumph that will be exceedingly gratifying to his friends. He comes as a pleasure to prize to those who have best interests of the school at heart, but fear that such a result is impossible. The in力 the balance and the work of Mr. B. B. will be watched with anxiety, as well as with hope by all concerned. Company "C" of Armstrong Wins Cadet Banner. For the first time in six years the team contended for in the annual tournament by the High School team. Manu Born won by the winning School. The winning committee was headed by Capt. Robert Born, who awarded School officials presented various badges to which the com-munition officers were enlisted. General officers were awarded. For the very well understood, the team not nearly so large as on previous years, the baseball lack, nor was the enthusiasm of the usual spontaneous character. 14 There to Be a "Shake-up" in How- ward's Faculty? reports are to be relied upon, a faculty of large proportions in the institution. Howard University is imminent in formation into the conduct of a number of the teaching corps, it is stated that the resignations of not less than a half dozen members of the faculty will be demanded by the faculty all the way from inefficiency to allega- tions that may be described as more serious. The officials of the executive department and the trustees are disregarded. The action tentatively decided upon is confirmed, there will be some vacancies in high places in the next few years, and the management must maintain the high standard of Howard University, according to a statement made by a man close to the management of the institution, and nothing will be allowed to interfere with written code that has always characterized it. "The Malachites" Become Owners of the Washington Sun. The Washington Sun, a clean and wholesome race journal, which has published a number of books with marked success by Dr. Julia P. Coleman, is to be the official organ of the Order of Malachites, of which the Washington University is a member and Supreme Governor. The Malachites have purchased the controlling interest in the paper, but Dr. Coleman has not been involved in the business and will continue to take an active part in the direction of the general policy of the institution. The Malachites have also been asked to accept the very flattering offer made by Governor King, of the Malachites, to take the property over. The price for the property is some profit to Dr. Coleman, and opening the eyes of the people of the capital as to the possibilities of a high-rise building for a woman has richly earned the reward that has come to her. The change takes effect at once and The Sun will be a week later. Lawyer King has arranged to continue the services of the writers of the Coleman staff, and will make imputations of the people. The people wish the courageous Mr. King every success in his new field. Teachers· May "Wait Table" if They Like. Replying to a communication from the Waiters' Union, protesting against the "unfair" payable at resorts during the summer season, in competition with those who make it all the-year-round business, and working at a lower price than the average wage, the Board of Education takes the ground that a teacher who wishes to "lean into the "lean days" of the summer vacation may do so, as far as the school officials are concerned. The Board of Education cannot compromise the number of teachers that summer work as waiters nor of the scale of wages accepted by them. Expect Important Decisions to Be Handed Down by Supreme Court Handed Down by Supreme Court. For many months the people have been divided over two decisions by the United States Supreme Court of vital bearing on the well being of the colored citizens of the nation, and the fact that now under consideration by the nation's highest tribunal, include a series involving the constitutionality of the colorado state's laws, the states, restricting the colored vote. The states directly at interest are Oklahoma and Maryland, and the effect of the present iniquitous statutes practically disfranchising the race in the Southland or upholding them for all time. The United States Supreme Court will settle these cases before adjourning for the summer. Judge Terrell Makes Satisfactory Arrangements. It is stated that an amicable arrangement has been made by Judge B. Navarro to allow him to assume that those debts incurred in the usual order since the failure of the Capital Savings Bank are to be fully satisfied, and that he was not properly advised of his intentions in this regard, following his failure to repay the debt. The entire litum of obligations had to be handed to the authorities handling the bankruptcy proceedings, the judge in the case fashion allowed by an adjunctage law allowed by law to escape indebtedness for which he is morally responsible. He was also minded that he did his full duty in the matter of the Capital Savings Bank lease from further sacrifices on that score. Judge Terrell attitude is entirely satisfactory. He has faced his course and his course in this delicate situation is heartily endorsed by all who are conversant with the facts. Capt. Loving Taking the “Rest-Cure” Capt. Walter H. Loving, conductor of the Philippine Constabulary Band, and conductor at San Francisco, and whose home is in this city, is at Fort Bay N. M., recuperating from his illness, getting his band “on edge” for the Exposition season. His throat is said to be giving him a hearing to give him treatment. Capt. Loving expects to be in a condition to return to San Francisco, and the band is being directed by his chief musician, Pedro B. Navarro. All Washington is proud to have been accorded abroad and will watch eagerly for reports of his complete recovery. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell to Tell the Story of the Negro.

Brown, who has been in the banking business in Newport News, Va., for a number of years, is the principal institution, which is to be one of the chain of banks in the Brown Bank in Norfolk and Philadelphia, as well as at Newport News. Mr. W. H. C. Brown a capitalist and business man of wide experience here for a few weeks, is to be in charge of the Washington bank. A sound bank has every chance in the world with its 100,000 Negro population. THERE TO "RAISE A ROW." Manning Goes to Washington to Protest Again treatment of Neptune WASHINGTON, June 7.—Alex. E. Manning, colored, of Indianapolis, who for many years has been one of Thomas Tagarr's political agents, arrived at the White House on June 7 and he had come on to "raise a row" about the treatment of colored men by the Wilson administration. He said he had not arranged to see any public official, but he said that the course would be worth while; that he intended to "appeal to the public." He called attention to the action of Senator Kern in supporting a white man for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and in backing John J. Keegan, of Indianapolis, for another political job, while there were worthy negroes seeking recognition in vain. He also called attention to the fact that this administration displaced a negro as minister to Halti, and asserted that there had been other discriminations against the colored man. JOHN O. HOPKINS, COLORED, RE ELECTED THE CITY COUNCIL WILMINGTON, Del., June 9.—City Councilman John O. Hopkins was reelected to the city council from the county seat of Saturday. His Democratic opponent, William D. Morrow, made a particular effort to win Hopkins, but the latter had 300 votes to spare. The successful candidate recycles a goodly number of white votes. Hopkins, the candidate for mayor, eight out of twelve members of the city council and other city officials. Hopkins was first elected two years ago. During his term he has succeeded in getting the race considerate and in getting the voters interested. Less than a week ago he succeeded in having the city council pass an ordinance barring such race-hating voters from voting in "The Nigger" and "The Clansman." Councilman Hopkins was born in Kent County, Maryland, but has resided in the city since he is a graduate of the Howard blich school and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, finishing at the latter school in 1908. With Dr. Conwell Benton, he conducts a successful drug store at Walnut streets. He is also proprietor of a moving picture parlor. MINISTER TO LIBERIA AT HOME. Dr. George W.

He sailed up the west coast of Africa to Barcelona, Spain, expecting to take a Spanish ship to America. He missed connection and was forced to return to Gibraltar. He obtained a job at the British liner, Cretic, from Gibraltar to Boston, Masts. VIEWS OF A WORLD OBSERVER ON THE WAR. Special to The Freeman As a matter of fact your newspaper is a peer of Afro-American journals—because, first on account of its wide reach, it is the most purity of its editorial column. . . Now sir, because of the ethical standard by which such editions are rendered, I understand that the German's Note and "Africa and the Negroes." The issue that entitles Germany's blow to the Lusitania is one that is analogous to the war in the house ofomon and to escape their viciousness requests all the neighbors to avoid a certain space, and others placing a greater confidence in a particular ruffian who on previous occasions by arming most profusely, carried weapons to equip the others on the ground, and to suffer with this particular ruffian. The neutrality of America is a mere homocious—she prays or peace, criticizes the war and yet she furnishes the weapons to do the killings and so prolongs the war. Germany, the best of European nations, has made an independent France's spirit of revenge, finds herself isolated by the perfidy of the Anglo-Saxon and Latin nations. This nation has made an independent independence; this land that has shown for years with the glorious truth of sciences and progress, is not made enemies of hers to make has made enemies of hers to make the nonhistorical and unthinking class believe—"Germany, a military menace, envoicing to dominate the world by force." This is the Englishman's cry that has gained so many adherents in the United States and abroad, so absurdity! A nation on her western border who by presumption in 1870 had her military fires quenched and a provisional malice and revenge and another restless, barbarous and territorial expansion nation on her eastern frontier and realize the military power. How many battles the military nation." Is there any greater menace to the world than England and her naval formula?

This war is the dawn of such an expectation as is it on the island of Africa, not on the coalition that will follow when a coalition shall be made by the forces of the black, the white, and the brown from Europe's battlefields of those African and Asiatic men of battles, if considered brave and desperate when faced with the great greed and lust, what when roused with the zeal of fighting to gain the land of their inherent rights—the freedom, their liberty and their independence?

Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West 53rd Street. NEW YORK, June 7.—Information reached this bureau from a reliable source that discrimination was being large public school at 135th street and Lenox avenue, where over 80 per cent of the pupils are Negro children. Information reached that Principal Theobald of the school was not solicited of the interest and he was discouraging boys who reached the 8th B Grade and some of the other upper classes gainst taking on arithmetic and trying to turn their energies toward the purely industrial work in the school. In an interview with a mother of one correspondent that her boy had come home and informed her that the princess other boys of his class that he did not believe that colored boys should take arithmetic or English grammar, and that the manual arts classes. The mother of this boy was indignant over such information and felt that she should re-reaction. Your corresponded called on Principal Theobald last week and was ushered in the private office of the principal as received in the most cordial manner. Your correspondent called attention to the allegation against the principal, who was greatly surprised. He said that such a charge was a false statement, and during his administration as principal of the college, he absolutely impaired his dealing with the children. He said that he had nothing but praise for the colored children, and grade work was the equal of any school in the school in the city. He said that he had some trouble with an unruly boy, but that was true of all schools in the city. He said that his school was unique in that it had peculiar problems to face different from the other schools, and while it was not distinctly a colored school, it was colored. He said that he had been trying to study the problems that confront many of the parents of the children, with special reference to the penny lunches that tuted the penny lunches for the children which has been of great service. In order to keep in close touch with the children, he was discussed blaid said that he held weekly mothers meetings where such problems as the need of good attendance, the value of a pupil being absent frequently, together with other problems confronting mothers were discussed. When asked about the department of colored mothers who called at the school inquiring about their mothers who called at his office were, as a rule, refined and intelligent and gave him very little trouble. The mothers held from the colored pupils of the school—the competed in athletic meets of the various public schools of the city in the graduation class found them above the average in intelligence and ability. Principal Theoblad said that the school stood in close relation to the needs and wants of the community, and that his pupils were being trained for social service. He showed your correspondent an itemized statement of what the school had done toward relief work in the neighborhood. The term ending December 24, 1914, he said that 85 families were supplied with food, 63 families with clothing, such as overcoats, shoes, rubbers and sweaters and that during the past term 52 girls and boys supplied with food and 20 girls and boys delivered for food amounting to 55 cents and $1.00, and three families supplied with food. Your correspondent was favorably impressed with the frankness of Principal Theoblad and feels that he has been sadly misrepresented. He is a fine and sympathetic type of an educator and expresses himself as being heartily in sympathy with the problems that confront the colored pupils and parents. He told your correspondent that he had already recommended pupils of the graduating class to enter high school and pursue their work. Principal Theoblad made his statement in the presence of Miss Aline Archabald who is the visiting teacher of the 135th street school. Young Hampton Man Making Good.

The University of Michigan's tract team with 12 men arrived in this city last Saturday from Philadelphia, where the team competed in the intercollegiate meet in which over twenty-seven colleges competed. Lapsley represented his team in Philadelphia. When the team arrived in the city it immediately sought accommodation at the Prince George Hotel, but when it was learned that a colored member was with the team the management promptly informed him that he could not be accommodated at the hotel, and the hotel refused to take colored guests. The members of the team were highly indignant over the treatment of their colored member, and said that it was the first time that Lapsley was refused accommodation with the rest of the team. In Philadelphia he was accommodated with the rest of the team at one of the leading hotels in Philadelphia. Lapsley is one of the star athletes in the University of Michigan and is a member of the class. He arrived at the M. C. A. last Saturday night at mid-night and told his experiences to a group of students associated with his association when he arrived. He was accommodated at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Lapsley is from Portland, Oregon, and after graduating from the public university he entered University High School at Chicago. He entered the University of Michigan from which he will graduate next June. He is also an investigation of this affair just as so as he can get around to it. Still Fighting "The Birth of Nation." Still fighting "The Birth of Nation" On Saturday, May 15, the 150th performance film play based upon Thomas Dixon's Clansman, was given in this city, which marked the end of three months success and have such a long and successful run as has this infamous play in a northern city has been in many of its cities. This play has gone on defying the protest of strong editorials in the daily newspapers of the city, together with the various civic organizations that public sentiment that has been waged against any film that has ever opened in the city. The film has been a pain nor money in spreading their infamous doctrine of race hate and prejudice and they are leaving in their city a serious and erroneous relative to the Negro. The lovers of justice are still on the war path and are putting up a strong fight against the injustice of the cities that it has played in.

JONES HOLY BIBLE R.C. BUCKNER BOOKS AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS. A most interesting and valuable book for the members and friends of the M. E. church recently came from the M. E. church "Forty Years in the Lap of Methodism" is the happy title. The volume has particularly to do with the Lexington Conference of that church. The work has been gotten up with great care; it shows evidence of preparation, and the teaching is statistical, faithfully dealing with the first few that started off the conference at Harrodsburg, Ky., in 1869, when the church has become as the banyan tree. The author says, "Bishop Lev Scott, Willis L. Mulr, Zall Ross, Hanson Talbott, Henry Lytle, George Downing, Nelson Saundon and Andrew Hanson Talbott." The conference." He gives short but interesting sketches of those who laid the foundation of the Lexington conference and also gave up many pressures on an interesting survey for thoughtful persons of the race, whether or not of that church, in that showy book, the make-up of the division of that man who saw so far ahead amid so much gloom. The work is introduced by encour- agement of the church, white and colored, including bishops. All about the work are signs of felicity, church and race enthusiasm, sense of purpose, scope and aim of the volume makes for a unique and rare publication. This in- spired the church, which will doubtless voyage the seas until the Christian's quest is done. Historical, statistical, pictorial, dea- ling with affairs and men up until the present day, the volume is a mirror of the M. E. church, a ready reference place in the home of every thoughtful M. E. Churchman and others who would measure the progress of the race. "The Story of Wendell Phillips" is a splendid little publication by Charles Wendell Phillips, who was a be remembered as the friend of the Negro race in the dark days. He labored with Douglas, Garrison and other men. He was a friend of man. This is why the interesting writer and thinker has written of him. He classes Mr. Phillips as a man. He classes of man. Perhaps, it is in the sense that Jesus Christ is said to have been a soul; because he was the friend Wendell Phillips did not seek to classify his status by consulting and those poems, whose fine soul of righteousness dominated his being—for infinite right; for right ability, and the story of the great emancipator sweeps along, and because of the "sympathetic nature" of Mr. Russell is a socialist, and for such a biography, perhaps, it is for the betrayal that he was spectacular, dramatic, yea, tragic, standing as he did in that day in the hands of men of men whose business was to make a lasting impression on the world—to uproot a system imbedded in the human heart and which some held to be consonant with the will of God. The author is yet leashed, making for the artistic beautiful as seen in art and letters. One gets a nine line of Mr. Phillips by reading Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago. "Proceedings and Reports" of schools for year ending June 30, 1914, is a valuable contribution to literature along with supervision of the John F. Slater fund, thus in earnest of the efficiency. The reports of schools in the Southern States, biography of schools, as if it may be so called. The reports are short, but common, the essentials that are most useful in the study of the institutions. Here follows a sample of the style of the first school dealt with: ALABAMA. Calhoun Colored School. Calhoun, Lowndes County, Alabama. Miss Charlotte R. Thorn. Principal. Property of trustees in Board of Trustees. Value of land, buildings and equipment, $88,449.

There are 90 boarding students attending the institution, all of whom have traded in the laundering trades are laundering, canbling, mattress-making, chair-caning, basketry. The appropriation of funds was used to pay the salaries of five industrial teachers. Extract from report of Principal: In lieu of interest during the year are as follows: 1. The very full attendance; both occupations and dormitories were crowded. 2. The full recognition on the part of the parents that it was their duty to enroll girls in school for the full term, though throwing a much larger amount of field attendance. 3. The co-operation upon the part of the people in the care or pionation roads, experiments in farming, throwing a much larger amount of field attendance. 4. The spirit of co-operation of the State and County Board of Education. The State Supervisor of Schools, Mr. Sibbler, and County Superintendent of Education, Mr. Williamson, held a summer school for the county teachers. 5. The interest shown in our industry by teachers of both white and colored schools coming to study methods. 6. The completion of our water well. 7. The completion of general interest, and particularly interesting to those of educational circles. The Southern Workman may well be considered a classic as a school publication. He eraps, he gets.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER What Our Women are By Grace Lucas-Thompson. THE ROAD FROM TROUBLE. We'll take the road from trouble and We'll take the road from trouble and leave the path to care. All the things we weather on wings of dream to fare. We shall not hear or answer the whispers. For one green day along the way That leads to love and life. We'll say good-bye to shadows, and wilding of the sun. And we shall swing through gates of spring To take the road of smile. Far from the haunting heartache there is a land that lies Beyond the trouble and under the sunlit skies. To that we'll romp and follow, With friends of trees and flowers; A love hollow in the sky. A love song, life, for ours. Mrs. E. Baldwin is a probation officer at Atlanta, Ga. "Every day is Mother's Day in this old land of ours."

She is also a teacher and has an excellent trade. Mrs. Jackson HELP FOR A WIDOW COMES FROM IN- WIN- FANTASY IN- HAWAI Mrs. Anna M. Clifford, of Frankfort, Ky. (th widow of a soldier who died shortly after his retirement from Company K, 25th Infantry in the latter part of 1911), became the recipient of aid amounting to several hundred dollars from the soldiers of the 25th Infantry stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaiian Islands, through the efforts of Mrs. Mattie L. Booker, the widow of Andrew Booker, late First Sergeant, Company K, 25th Infantry. Mrs. Booker had but recently returned to the Hawaii from an extended visit on the mainland and was casually informed that Mrs. Clifford's property was about to be sold for taxes. She went to work immediately and solicited the aid of the soldiers of the 25th Infantry and they responded in the most prompt and creditable manner. Mrs. Booker's standing and influence in the treatment were such that it was could doubt the sincerity of her purpose which she assumed voluntarily without being requested by Mrs. Clifford or any one else. It is not known whether or not the money reached Mrs. Clifford in time to pay the bills, or whether veying the news of her distress was long in receipt before Mrs. Booker was informed of its contents, also she received nearly four hundred dollars for the relief of a poor helpless woman thousand miles away. While her organization contributed. Company M is especially deserving of the highest praise for the through the discretion and direction of their popular first sergeant, Oscar Fox. For just as soon as Mrs. Booker reiterated that she did not wait for the pay day collection which was necessary in most of the other cases, but had a check for $94.50 for the first pay day of his company refunded the money on pay day which was two weeks afterward. This shows what the soldiers can not do when a cause is in progress. The highest credit, however, is due to the fact that the highest credit, which no one else had offered to undertake. The matter had received no attention beyond mere comment until the Army had not appealed to the regiment nor any one else in Hawaii for help, nor did she apprise Mrs. Booker of her duty. She had been a soldier, but had appealed to a retired army officer at Fort Thomas, Ky., as she has not been pensioned. She had been the widow of a soldier who gave his best life to the service of his country, should have been neglected by the colored businessmen by the soldier Frankfort, where she has owned a home so long. It is not creditable that they in her home town did not know her, nor did she know about to be sold for taxes and they not come to her aid, when the soldiers were to be far away. Hawaii rallied to her aid at just one word from Mrs. Booker. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. Mr. Frank W. Bates has been appointed night watchman and bookkeepers.

The National Negro Health Week, which was held March 21-27, is one of the most important days of the colored people of the country to co-operate in a movement for their Negro Health Week also the National Negro Health Week also how both races, North and South, can together anr work in a movement for the colored people. Never before has there been a wildspread co-operation of the races in a movement for the general good. When it was proposed to have a National Health Week there was some doubt, although the movement was urgent, as to whether a movement was urgent, as to whether colored people would generally cooperate in the movement. With the bishops of the several denominations and the minister, the lead there was a general observance by the bishops out of the country of health week. Several of the bishops wrote special letters urging upon them the importance their co-operation in this much needed movement for the improvement of the health of the country, special health week edition. The Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, gave special health week edition. The Organ of the African Methodist Episcopal church, made its issues of Missions, and April 1st special health editions. The educational boards of white denominations who are working among the African Methodist Episcopal church as the American Missionary Association, the Baptist Home Mission Society, the Freedmen's Board of the Presbyterian Church, and the hearty cooperation to the movement. the health department of every South Carolina in the South, large and small, and of several cities in the North, lent their active assistance to this movement. By attending all of the other ways, these health departments did much to make the National Negro Health Day a success. The State Department of Education of Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina also assisted in the move of superintendents to the supervisors of Negro schools in these States out circular letters to the county superintendents urging upon them to see teachers under their charge assisted the people in observing health week. The leading white papers of the South Georgia Department of Many of them wrote strong editorials in which the importance of improving people was especially emphasized. Attention was also called to the fact that disease knows no color line and that South to have black people healthy as it was to have the white people healthy. How Health Week Was Observed. At Wheeling, Va., Health Week was organized by the local association of colored physicians. At Chicago the colored physicians also took the lead and opened Health Week with a mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E. church, at which addresses were given on health topics, and the observance of Health Week was under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association and the Colored Board of Trade, summoned on Monday afternoon, March 21, at the Odd Fellows Auditorium. Dr. Claude Smith, of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, and Dr. Thomas Slater, City Commissioner, spoke at this meeting. During the day the ministers in the several churches preached health sermons. On Tuesday the colored schools were, at the order of Superintendent of Schools Slaton, assembled in the colored churches nearest to their respective schools where they listened to talks on health sub In New York City it is reported that never before was so much interest manifested in a movement as in the observance of the 11th York. More interest in all walks of life took keen interest in the movement. Besides the coloured press of the city, there were no direct interest in the process of the United States. Among the race to observe the week, the greatest attention was to the city's health department which created a out-of-the-year persons who died in New York last year were Negroes. March 22d a large mass meeting was held at the 3rd. Olivet's Baptist church was the first to be the speakers on this occasion; Dr. Martin, of the City Board of Health, and Dr. F. C. Meyer, of the Child Welfare Committee. During the week the对话 was held in which he was to their object of the study of the health problem of the Negroes of New York City were held. At Okolonn, Miss. the people were thoroughly granted for the observance of Health Week. In each ward there was a special committee to see that the people thoroughly cleaned up their premises. In the fall of Selma, Ala., declared March 24th as Clean-up Day and put at the disposal of the people all the resources of the sanitary department. It is said that Selma was cleaned up the city's health department. At Dallas, Texas, the Health Week local medical association. An effort made to hold a meeting during the week at which some one of the physicians gave an address on a health topic. Savannah, GA., the Health Week observance was under the auspices of the local medical association. Conditions among Negroes in co-operation with the city health department and the local colored medical associ- Among the notable meetings held during Health Week in Maryland, the colored people of Maryland.

A little cool for the gardens in these parts, but mighty good for sleeping. The Freeman appreciates the invitation to attend the Fifty-second Annual Commencement of Wilberforce University held at the institution Thursday, June 17. According to the program of the forthcoming Negro exhibit at Chicago President Wilson will be on the scene opening day. Let us hope that he may not be extremely busy otherwise. So the upper house of the Florida legislature will not concur in the resolution debarring Negroes from practicing in the courts of that state. And to think that the thing was even thought of. Wonder if Mahning will be heard at this juncture of the administration. He went to Washington to look after a little patronage business. We thing the interpred Indianian will be pigeon-holed for quite a while. The war seems psychological, threatens to take us in, in spite of ourselves. The "world soul" seems rampant. If there is such a thing as a "world soul" and if it is rampant, we are goners, that's all. Those "ifs" will save us. They say we are only 23,256. Ye gods, has it come to that? Instead of waxing fat we have really waned during the past many moons. Times are out of joint when perversity doth so declare. Quoth the little maid, "we are seven," and the rest of it. The late Bishop H. M. Turner amassed a considerable fortune, not less than $50,000, it is said. He provided well for his family and also gave liberally to the church and to educational institutions. This phase of his life is another evidence of what manner of man he was. Boston is in sackcloth and ashes because that offensive picture play refuses to exit. This must be very grievous to Mr. Trotter and the others who have been holding the hub true to its reputation as the "frest" city in America. The editor has our sympathy. We can imagine what it is to be repudiated at home after booming a situation which was nearly ideal. We are all repudiated in the deal. The Lincoln Jubilee and National Half-Century Anniversary Exposition of Negro Freedom, is a great big title. Chicago is a great big city where great big things are done even by its colored people. The exposition promises to be the greatest thing that has ever happened. The state of Illinois has been liberal in its support. Other States have contributed in the interest of the fiftieth anniversary of Negro freedom. The various committees are busy making ready to the great end. Chicago always an alluring city will be more so during the exposition days. Dr. George W. Buckner, United States minister to Liberia, has returned to his home in Evansville, Ind., where he will enjoy a furlough of sixty days. He says that Liberia is being affected by the great war now being waged in Europe. In normal times this exporting is done by British and German ships which, of course, is greatly reduced owing to the possible dangers at sea. Other reports coming from that country have been to the effect that there is no danger of starvation, and because the country is self-sustaining. Commerce has been injured. Lack of employment among those laborers engaged on the docks and along the coast is noticed, thus making for stringent times in the little republic. This war is leaving many unpleasant reminders, quite enough to put a ban on the business for many a year. A recent bulletin issued by the United States Census Bureau has it that Marion county, in which is Indianapolis has a Negro population of 23,256. Think of it, only 23,256 when we have been boasting of a population between 35,000 and 40,000. Something is wrong somewhere. In election times the Negro votes are figured at from 6,000 to 8,000, which, according to the usual estimate of being one-fifth of the population justifies the claim of a population from 30,000 to 40,000 at least. It is said that the one-fifth estimate is not safe with the colored people because the proportion is not the same as with the white people. Whether this is true we are not prepared to say. However, we are unwilling to believe that we have "come down" to the measly 23,256 that has been set down for us. Make it not less than 30,000 if our self-respect is to be preserved. Some, we think, will see a little inconsistency in Alex. E. Manning's intention of raising a row with the administration at Washington unless he means to do it in the name of the race. Indiana has no particular kick. The most distinguished appointment so far has fallen to this state. The Liberian ministership was given to Dr. Geo. W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., the position he now holds. If Mr. Manning can make an impression on President Wilson, Senator Kern and the rest of them in the interest of the race at large he will have done no bad thing. The Negro contingent of the Democratic party is a little "sby" of leaders, and it may be that Mr. Manning is simply filling a long felt want. In that event he is to be encouraged in doing all he can for his race and party. We are with Mr. Manning in his personal political aspirations. He is deserving. But it is just as well to see things right. Indiana has been cared for. Lord Bryce's definition of international law: "The embodiment of the conscience and wisdom of mankind for the purpose of bringing the relations of peoples and nations out of a state of savagery into a state of civilization." Some one else said that it is "the expression of civilization and the pledge and hope of humanity." The New York Post facetiously or cynically, perhaps, both, says: "We think of international law as a series of agreements through which we are to pick our way to advantage. The effort too often is to 'beat' the law; to see how near we can come to violating it without being actually caught. The temptation is to regard it as fortifying us in our own privileges without conceding anything to another nation. When we speak of the 'rules' of international law we are sometimes inclined to think of them as a set of irksome regulations which there is no great harm in evading, when a particular occasion invites." The mark has been shot more times in what it says than it has been overshot or under shot. There is not much of a bar for international law; no court of the last resort. "Tis true and a pity 'tis true. SEGREGATION IN AFRICA Talking about segregation. Listen to this wall from Africa seen in an African publication: And what has segregation done for the native? Very certainly increased his burdens. It has diminished the size of his already diminutive pocket, in which he has been able to increase of expenditure. It has given him full measure, pressed down, and running over, or cold shoulder, which he has been able to overcome, and which nobody really enjoys. It has set him wondering whether he has been able to own his own—his native land—until whether, in a few years' time, the segregation policy will have assumed the status of an autocrat, but like the African brother, he will be relegated to the bush. Indeed, he is beginning to realize that he is not sure to reside in England altogether, where he is sure of infinitely more humane treatment at the hands of Englishmen in the country. Segregation is after the manner of March—like a lion—roaring and unjustly and intolerant will go out thing before it. It will go out, as everything that is base and ignoble and unjust and intolerant will go out of the Great Ruler of the Universe. We said not long since that the African's danger was similar to our own in this country—the jeopardy of their civil status. Otherwise the advent of the white man in their affairs is a blessing. We are blessed in this country as will be seen when we measure the distance from which we came. But growth is nature. To aspire to be, to live in the choiceest fields permitted to men is in the heart of men when once touched by the refining influences of civilization. We say again Africa is this country over again as it concerns the evolutions of its people. Their problem is tremendous, but in the end, in the centuries to come, these people will percolate from the hopper of their existence as that elixir which the alchemists of old sought for in vain—refined as pure gold from their dross of circumstance. We are yet in the crucible, but we see something of the end and are all greatly encouraged. With them all is yet intensely dark. But the light will come. "Behind the clouds the sun is still shining." WOULD BAR NEGRO LAWYERS. A few days ago report was current that the lower house of the Florida legislature had passed a bill barring colored lawyers from practicing in that state. The report seemed unbelievable. We refused to notice it. But it seems to have been the truth—a very sad truth—a severer prodding the race has never received. It appears at this time, that the bill will not pass the senate, it having already failed in the judiciary committee of that house. The Tampa Tribune, a white publication, in speaking of the injustice of the measure, said: "The case is no valid reason why an honest lawyer should not be allowed to practice law or any other profession in Florida, and there is every reason why he should be encouraged to develop his talents along professional lines." The lower house voted in favor of the bill by a big majority. This is both astonishing and alarming. It goes to prove that checks are necessary for such strife breeding things as the "Birth of a Nation" which encourages lawlessness against the Negroes. With a little imagination one can see two campaigns that were to have been waged against our race, from the North and from the South and it may be that those campaigns are yet on—campaigns for reducing Negro respect. That the bill will not become a law is as it should be. The congratulatory thing is that all white men are not blinded to what is fair and reasonable. But we will bear in mind that whatever the result of such efforts the race suffers. To be unjustly assailed measures the contempt of those assailing, the further ham is in pointing out a prescribed standing to accord with the contempt, thus making against the "peerhood" of citizens, a vicious violation of the genius of the country. Our situation is most satisfying when free from these kind of attacks, and not when merely free from the effort of the spiritual phase of death. The other is that of material harm, the reducing of Negroes in their chances for livelihood. Negro lawyers are known to serve Negro clients, Negro doctors serve Negro patrons and so forth. Is it possible that white men would seek to change even this side show citizenship? It is possible, for that is what was attempted in the legislature of Florida. It is a conduct in kind which makes war necessary—the unreasonable demands made on men by other men. Who is the authority? MR. BRYAN RESIGNS. Bryan as Secretary of State caused a profound sensation throughout the country. He makes no great effort to conceal the rupture with the President. In fact he is almost blunt in what he had to say, yet it is very evident that he did not forget to make the best of the situation. His letter is said to be characteristic of the man. The inference gleaned from Mr. Bryan's letter is that he of the two, the President and himself is for peace. This assertion places President Wilson in the unenviable attitude of standing for war, or for a policy which tends to produce war feeling rather than to allay it, when the fact is, so far as the President has intimated, that he is also for peace. If he is of another policy it has not reached the public and it may not do so until the publication of the government's second note. now the subject strike at citizenship the priceless heritage of men. The censorship is here. It is employed against things of no more moment than that which creates racial friction. Immoral pictures are business enterprises; they are veted. Racial inflammatory pictures with their possible end of blood are also business enterprises; they are very often not veted. And some seek to justify these two opposing conditions. Why not war against every harmful influence? We mean against those things which agitate society, pitting citizens against citizen, the certain result of exhibitions of the kind which are being so generally denounced by our race.

Colored boys featured. Al The resignation of Mr. Bryan has heightened immensely the curiosity to learn the President's "real" attitude. We venture the opinion that it is not materially different from what the public knows at this time. There is but little chance for a change of program. The questions between the countries were rapidly becoming solved, and along the lines that might be thought out by the rational, well-formed individuals anywhere. Whatever President son may say will not, we think, tend to arrest or to disturb the progress towards amicable adjustment which seems underway. The break between the two important personages was not, we think, because of a radical difference of views. There were minor differences, no doubt, and perhaps, irreconcilable, but they were not of such nature to jeopardize the friendly attitudes of the two nations. That there were minor views was apparent when President Wilson was so extremely cautious in revising the second note. But these minor views may have been confined, mostly to phraseology, the changes being insisted on with the object of having the document comport with the highered, diplomatic note of Dr. Von Jagen. It was needless to say that in this respect we were not outlapped. It is a trifling thing to comment on, yet when we pose as giving points and winning out over others in respect, a throwdown is rather shameful, especially where we are expected to shine. That kind of a thing is not being directly said, but there is comment and plenty enough that impaces Mr. Bryan's ability to deal with such questions. We do not feel to add anything that supports such comment. Mr. Bryan is out; the fact is its own best commentary. The reflection is not on the President for whatever the issue or result, since he is still President and knows not the humility of retirement. THAT PHOTO PLAY. The "Birth of a Nation," the picture play which is being so strenuously opposed by Negroes the country over, is having a time of it. Some localities have taken the precaution to put up the bars against it, others are The city council of Wilmington, Delaware, through the influence of still debating the question of permitting it to be shown. Dr. John O. Hopkins, voted against the play. The act makes the Board of Police Commissioners the censors of questionable shows and imposes a penalty of $50 every time one is shown. "The Birth of a Nation," "The Nigger" and similar plays are barred. Councilman Hopkins had the support of the National Association of Colored People, and the moral support of the white people. None of the white managers of picture show houses offered objection to the legislation. The object in fighting such shows is to keep down strife between the races. Enough of this arises in the ordinary run of affairs, the cause of which we all know very well. The Negroes are at a disadvantage in the ordinary run of affairs. They have bowed to conditions which seem to grow naturally out of the ordinary run of affairs, but when it comes to studious, premeditated effort to influence greater friction with the Negroes as the losing end it is time to call a halt. In Indianapolis there is a call for a greater Chamber of Commerce. This body does not make laws for the citizens. It looks out for the best interest of the citizens generally. It recommends those things which adds to the city's prosperity and reputation that has body influences legislation for good that proposes legislation that is not for the public weal. And where such bodies do not per se they exist in spirit. In either event it would be within their boundaries to move against those things which tend to increase friction between the races and which things may not be reached by any prescribed method. Surely race friction is not very desirable for any community. Could such bodies be in a better cause than keeping down friction between the citizens? It is admitted that anti-race picture plays are legitimate business enterprises, and as such are due the protection of the laws. So much is conceded. And it seems an unanswerable argument in favor of any kind of pictures that could be shown. Yet we have censorship boards that put immoral pictures out of commission, and for what? Because they are immoral. Children are not expected to be led into temptation. Grownup people are not expected to see vice so flagrant and common that it becomes a thing of indifference, thus paving the way for a general toning down of society. Grownup people who may be none too careful of themselves are nothing with the dissemination of wholesale, haunted in front, paraded or canvassed. The whole of life rather than the incident and the unexpected. The world needs helpful agencies. Bad men and women feel the need of them. They know such agencies when they see them and appreciate them. Virtuous conduct of picture characters is applauded over that of the soundrubs even in the picture houses on Indiana avenue. So much for censorship; it is a good thing. Why restrict it? It is not as great a wrong to encourage unbridled racial passion as any other kind? Are not the Negroes in some respect without support or defense? Leaving the thing of racial passions aside for the moment, and admitting that they are human, springing from a source in kind and nature, is not proper thing that they should be preserved within that scope—that of humanity? But the greater harm is that these picture plays such as are now the subject strike at citizenship the priceless heritage of men. The censorship is here. It is employed against things of no more moment than that which creates racial friction. Immoral pictures are business enterprises; they are vetoed. Racial inflammatory pictures with their possible end of blood are also business enterprises; they are very often not vetoed. And some seek to justify these two opposing conditions. Why not war against harmful nuance? We mean against those things: We mean society, pitting citizen against citizen, the certain result of exhibitions of the kind which are being so generally denounced by our race. "A ROSE SHOWER." Given by Mise Jesaye L. Willis, in Honor of Mise Gertin H. Crossen, and Mise Jesaye L. Willis. "A Rose Shower," given by Miss Jessive L. Willis, in honor of Miss Gertrude Crossen, the most useful function which has ever been given for a bride. On entering the house one immediately stepped in, and she gardened with beautiful pines which entwined the stairs and openings. Pink flowers adorned the bride, were used in the decorations. A floral love song, guessing contest was enjoyed by the sixty guests presided over, which was a potted pink hydrangea. This was then followed by a number of love songs which were quite appropriate. One unique feature was the finding and reading of a number of love letters which had been hidden by the bride. Quite a surprise was given the guests when the curtains to the illuminated room were gazed upon a most exquisite rose card made of beautiful pink and white roses. While Miss Crossen was sitting in the room, a beautiful pink rose bud which hung over her head opened and showed the bride with rose petals and at the same time the groom with the bed across the room. Immediately all the girls saw the missing letter bed on the pigeon's wing and made a request to receive this letter as it contained a proposal and the one receiving it having the honor of being called the next JACKSON, TENN.

AMERICAN GIANTS TROUNCE THE OMAHA GIANTS. 11 TO 2. (By Carey B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., June 7—It was an ideal day and probably the largest crowd of the season was present last week for the players. They were the Omaha Giants, and why they are called Giants is a matter of dubs seen in this city. The players prailed ball, or like the kind we used to see on the commons. Their excuse was that they were the poorest of Saturday night. If the other four were like the ones we saw, may they be played in the stadium for the two errors of Baughman at second, they would not have received the two scores registered in their favor for Jenkins pitched a good game. The Omaha boys used two pitchers, one was about as good as the other, and the other hitts off of them. They were scheduled to play a series, but Mr. Foster canceled them, as he saw that they could have left in the seventh inning. Score: Am.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL WEEK OF MILLER'S COMPANY OF PLAYERS AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE Presenting the Masterpiece, "Broadway Rastus," a Sensational, Moral Play With Music in Tabloid With Three Scenes Written and Staged by Irwin C. Miller—Tim E. Owsley, Manager of Theatre. Cast of Characters.

Plain—Chair. Scene I—Interior Elite Cafe No. 3. Scene II—Exterior "The Corner," 31st street and State street. Scene III—Interior Blue Ribbon Club. The Irvin C. Miller's Company of players are in their second week, play-in games against Rustus, Mr. Miller's best production. A play-in game is a fitting designation this effort. The first part abounds with cheerful tuneful songs sang by pretty girls and handsome boys in bright costumes. The second part, a cabaret scene made beautiful by midnight light, variegated lanterns and the jocund company. One of the party tires was a large, brightly colored order of Salvation Nell, she joins that throng that parade the streets and scouts about attacking wrong in its name. The third part is known as Jennie Davis, tango dancer. Her work is attractive. The group laments their loss. In the afterpart part, the group joins the head of a band of her kind, who join accompaniment to their song, "Just to Be Near Salvation Nell." Texas Tommy, a diversion is done by Frances Woods Chinese Blues, a pretty song with Chinese trimmings, is led by Lula Dalia and the chorus, Trixie Butler sings, "Can't Stop Loving You Now" and "The Clutching Hand." He takes to form at the close of the cabaret scene when all make ready to receive Broadway Rastus, a dandy, who now ushers in Doe here and also Johnson, shows up here and also Rastus stands stood by him when he wasn't so prostrate as he was when he was the actor as Kate James. Rastus is engaged in a conversation with his other girl. He does not like the intrusion and usually orders her ugly, and in other ways he is not ugly. Phil West, a character by Elwood Brown, overhears his rough talk to the girl, and in their prospects in view his friends desert him, even his best girl, Marie Sykes, the character by Esther Bigeon. No money, no friends is his painful meditation. Sam Johnson makes good in denouncing Rastus, reminding him that he good could come to him because of his own weakness. Rastus is now on earnest. Rastus finds himself down and out. In the meanwhile he is on the run for help. He can't respond. He grows despondent and wonders about aimlessly. He can't get the money to pay for his college. Davis, the one he treated so bad, She is a woman yet. She is touched by his story and forgets all. She again gives all—a chain and locket. He meets Rastus and asks him to give him advice. They advised him to take a chance on the locket in a poker game. He thinks there was something to do, but he concludes to do so. The poker game is interesting because Rastus, who is now pitible, has a lot of fun, has all been died in success. The cards are dealt. Rastus gets a good hand, but someone gets a better one—he loses. The situation here is really dramatic tragic, all of which is the first thing that makes a profound impression. The tittering laugh sometimes heard at the opening of the playlet has ceased. Rastus is the center for all eyes. All of the game is the world. He reaches for something in the rear of him; it was the telegram he sought. The proprietor of the gambling house was the man who had the gun to shoot him. The proprietor was wrong, but found it out too late. He reached for his own gun, fires at Rastus, who falls dead with the telegram clues, in his hand. He has a money together for Rastus, another, then turns the gun on himself. He also falls—the touching finale. The game is one while these dramatic situations are going on. "Sam Johnson," Doe Doe Green, and the policeman make a very funny spot. Green shows up to advantage. He is a old old man. Miss Ashford sang pathetically to Rastus. "After All That I Have Done For You," and "When You're a Long, Long Way From Home." Miller and the police have never received any work when Miss Bigou makes a hit with her steps and prancing. The show throughout was both inter- portional and inter-portion made a hit as well as the sur- rounding efforts. The object of the事 cited, in that he has been successful in a little production which was true to the nature of the sequel to race. Many a young colorist was con- frontoed just as Rastus was and took a chance. Some succeeded, others went astray. MUSKEGON, MICH. With the Damon Show. Everybody's happy.

Can't forget the Geor- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell MOTION PICTURES FAIL T DRAW AT THE GRAND THEATRE. Gene Greene Remained Poplar- Greenee & Drayton Capture. The last half of last week had big patronage owing to the fact that Gene Greene proved to be the biggest single white drawing can be who plays for the house of the carmen of the program on Thursday evening, made him more popular than ever. He gave a song of a dazzling pop-drum, which made him a hit. His dope-fellend in the Chinese song, and Honolulu girl were all artistically merit-or-assess the work of the man who was a piant. He had a three legged grand-for-his pianist, who is a better accompan- for his Grand Green-man. The new EP was a great performance. The two young colored dancers who had made a reputation in Europe, made their first appearance in the show. The first was under the approval as classy artistic dancers and scored second to Greene on the bill. Greenlee & Dray-man were discussed in the show and as such they are unexcellent in classy finish. Their steps were no more original than other great colored dancers who were the most popular of the show. The new copies after Russian dancers in Europe. The Drayton boy has mag- theater, who is the most important and the most personal. Their discourse in different languages was entertaining, but at no time did their dancing, approach the Grand Green-man, and the all white, included Harrington and his athletic black and tan dog wonders; George Smedley, a very good musician, and the most popular of the show. The new all-good high kicker dancer who over shouts in ragtime southern songs. The dancer was the only one who opened the Grand Green-man's portion. The success of this fine theatre has only been interrupted by bad sources of the work. The new new dancer of the house, which revealed Mr. Horn to be unpopular and Mr. Johnston to be popular, was a drawback from the dancer. The dancer was the only one who was the only one of the colored writer, formerly known as Jul Jones, but later as the most famous and the most well-known dancer of the country. The supply is responsible for the change of policy and the house. When Foster returned home penniless after a trip to the country, he was a very very, he dabbled in other things. His movements indicated that he has a way of telling a white man how to cut down the house and put him in the way of the best get nothing for it. When the Grand Theatre cut out an Illinois Idea and the first which came to the writer and solicitor on sale paper, Foster and I fell out, as he inferred the "ad," did the house no good. For the dancer, the dancer was a good. For the suggestion of turning the Grand into a picture house was a nice idea, and he was a very much small house all the evening, including an empty gallery. People who go to the Grand and Monotone were very good to have a very good picture. They care nothing about pictures. What the Grand will need now is a good colored musical comedy company. The dancer is a good one for many so-called vaudeville people or as many so-called vaudeville acts are there are white to keep the house. The Grand had a one-way-on-டி-show, which was so so-called stood on the big white act or novelty act and a colored single and a double, the house of the man who was the only one of the dancer. The dancer is best that the house revert back to vaudeville immediately to save the patronage which would divide between the monogram and the Avenue theaters. Lottie Grady Crowds the New Monogram. There was a full house and a lineup at the New Monogram to greet Miss Dillenne, who once graduated from the Pekin stock company. She wore a pink robe on her entrance, then dainty lily dresses and a light summer style. "Funny" Shuffling Her "Strange How People Walk These Days" were good offerings. Her imitations of the late Aida Overton Walk were dazzling. Bert A. Williams, brought storms of approval. Harris & Turner gave a neat healthful entertainment which was a bit too much for the songs well and Mr. Harris gave pleasure with a trombone. Johnson & Britton were decidedly entertaining and funny. Sadie Britton danced well. Tribble Makes People Scream at the Monogram Riots are scarce in these days but it didn't take Andrew Tribble long to create one and make people scream in a crowd. He was a man of the people whose work was fair, but her music should have been written in a higher key. Chicken Reel Beaman, who goes on to become the epitome of things, should mollify the audience and the good Lord, otherwise his monologue was very enterprising in modern times and humor. Hunter & Hunter close the book, a fair droll comedian whose work qualifies. Chappelle is a robust tenor, with a slight nasal tone, which carried some weight in which he delivered in good style.

R. H. Majors, of the postoffice department at Austin, Tex., was recently hired by the man to be home in that city. He was the brother of Dr. Majors, of Chicago, a well known staff writer of the Freeman, just before his brother passed away. The doctor has returned and has the sympathy of his many friends. Tobe Brown, the cornetist, and Miles Harris, the trap drummer and xylophone player, were in connection with the Grand theatre orchestra, having accepted an offer at Detroit, Mich., where they will receive the prize. J. C. Jenkins, Jr., and I, were their guests at the Laverdo when Harry Kelly, the prophetor, gave them a little present, and escorted the two stars to the depot, where we saw the train move out. The concert to be given at Bethel A. M. e church next Monday evening has been blighted by circumstances. Harrison Emanuel, the young violinist, who is reported to have seduced his first cousin, Garnetta Hagan by deliberation, is said to be out only on bonds and may not appear at the concert. Marie Burton Hyram, the concert and vaudeville star, has been criticised for accepting a church concert engagement while being employed in a white cabaret as soloist in a wine room, a decided reduction to legitimacy and her prestige may not be a drawing card for this occasion. To add to the benediction of the Bethelites, it has been intimated that Rosa Lee Tyler was refused admission to Bethel church choir since her retirement from the stage, but as Mme. Tyler has never sang in a cabaret where wine and champagne are served, her prestige socially should be looked upon as greater than that of Marie Burton. Upon inquiry I am told that Madam Tyler is now singing in Quinn Chapel church choir. George Holt's new buffet suddenly opened on State street near 35th, directly across from the State theater. The buffet was served by Porter, who formerly served at Holt's Hotel Brunwickis, is now at the new location of the large age range business. Raleigh Thompson's new place, "The Office," at 4644 State street, is expected to be open Saturday. The Pan-American buffet has been opened at 44th, by Sol Hirschman and A. W. Hagan.

Bailey, Friend of the Colored Performer and Owner of the Largest and Finest Theater for Colored People in the South—Acts Wanting Work Write to Charles P. Bailey, 81 Decatur Street, Atlanta, Georgia. (By Paul Carter.) ATLANTA, Ga., June 9.—(Special). To begin with, there are no performers laying off here. Something strange for a town of this size, and on actors' stamping ground. The reason is that Mr. Charles E. Bailey puts them all with a book. It must be so easy to be doesn't like to see them idle. He is operating a theater at $1. Decatur street and has been for ten years. In that time he has played every act that comes South and sent and got the rest of them. So you know the imagine how much money he has paid to the color performers during that time, and the great help he has been to them. Mr. Bailey has been one among the successful white managers of colored theaters. He has stayed and seen many and many years in the last years. He has made Atlanta theatergoers a present of the finest theater in the South for colored people. He has spared no pains, time nor money in arranging the same. It has been so late to get people the capacity downstairs. He is 1,000. Electric fans adorn the walls. Aisles, exits, dressing rooms and everything that adds to make a first-class theater is here. All of the amusement seekers of this city visit $1 Decatur street. There are they a chance to see the best colored talent that money can obtain. You will find Mr. Bailey a business man, and what a great many have said of him to be untrue. Believe me, I would not tell you wrong. RICHMOND, VA. The show at the Hippodrome theater last week was somewhat different from the Preeminent of entertainment. The Preeminent of entertainment had a funny sketch that proved to be a side kick for the impersonator that was ever played this house. Their act was a scream. Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, allowed singing their own compositions. Their singing was great and was very highly appreciated. They were singing with a steam callope, which brought back remembrances of the old circus-days that kind. Itrained all the week but we had good houses each night WASHINGTON (D. C.) FLASHES. Howard Theater. Mule and Jeanette Bradford have been held over and are a hit on their feet. They opened the show Monday night and were moved to closing. Nickerson & Nickerson went very good.

Because good acts always draw. Frank Williams and Lew Henry are launching a new act to open June 28, now in rehearsal. This ought to be good, because they are both talented. They have all their own songs, and say good performers don't stand in the wings and steal them, because the Good Book says "Thou shalt not steal." Minstrel Morris was seen last week in a new act and, believe me, it's a corker. Keep it up, old boy. He will open on Klein's time June 28 in Detroit, Mich. S. H. Dudley will leave soon for the South.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 府 People who are not in the show business and whose not only acquaintance with them is across the footlights sometimes feel it their duty to criticise the kind of shows produced and class of people composing those shows. We often wonder if the dear public ever stops to consider just how much artistic standing of the colored stage. If when a show is below the standard and objectifiable, the show would cease to exist. If the public would insist upon high-class shows to be up to the standard demanded. If the public would refuse to patronize a theatre where the manager must be used upon the stage, that manager would insist that profancy and smut be eliminated from the theatre. There are actors who are conscientious and have set for themselves a highest ambitions to are to produce something of real merit, but they are discouraged from so doing by lack of support and appreciation from the It is truly dishearnting after one has burned the midnight on a new thing, something new, something classy and truly worth while, to have that act only receive a small measure of praise from others on the bill will use the words "damm" or "hell" and be greeted with roars of laughter. It is not the act that makes an intelligent appeal and have it a "frost." While another actor or may sing the "Blues," "Ball the drummers" or "The Ridiculous reference to racial characteristics and be the hit of the bill? If the theatre-going punk deserves the ridiculous reference to excellence from the actors and refuse to support anything below the mark, the actors will gladly and quickly respond. It is the mark and working for art's sake are having a lonesome fight. Managers are often criticised for alloying with class of actors and to play their houses, but full houses prove that the managers are really giving the public what it de There is a class of people who wish to be in line with the "high-brows" who scream for the classics, buy seats for the grand opera just to be seen in company with the aristocracy, these same people may be known more throughout the performance. In other than they will cry for the classics and denounce an ordinary show that they thoroughly understand and enjoy. They revile comedians who resort to horse-play, ridicule the color, hair and morals of their race. Yet they pack the theatres and laugh uproarously when such comedians appear. What is the answer? Some people not intimately acquainted with show folk often condemn the whole fraternity of account of the bad department of a few. The theatrical profession, unlike most other professional fessions, does not always be a long period of mental moral and physical training. A boy or girl, possessed of a good voice or a natural talent for dancing may go upon the stage and become a footlight favorite. Their popularity makes them conspicuous, yet they may be without the�lequally or morally to mingle with the number of people who seek their depreciation on account of their fame. STAGE NOTES.

Their early environment has not rendered them proof against the wiles of parisites and sycophants that are really more to be pitted than censured. There are many men and women that are not qualified to work, preferably with the men and women of any other profession. The day the performer is readily passing, the men and women now realize that they are not qualified to contribute largely towards the ultimate solution of the race problem in America. At the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, John Gibson, manager, coaches and Johnson, in a class singing and dancing act, gave ample satisfaction. Bert Murphy is a genuine favorite with Philadelphians. His monologue, singing and dancing were greatly enjoyed. The Flying Kellers, a white act, did some hair-raising aerial stunts on the stage. The Kelly and Davis were well received. The dancing of Mr. Kelly and Mr. Flanders, a condition of What You Gwine to Say Massa Peter, were the acts of the act. Florence Mills and Kinky, in a small stage, presented a very sweet soprano voice and a magnetic personality. The girls were a genuine hit. Dink Stewart, a dancer presented a new act that caught the fancy of the audiences. Both are clever performers. Dink Stewart, comedian; Jim Burris, of Smart Set fame; Helen Harper Clinton, Sam Gardner and Chinese Walker presented a sketch entitled "The False that was the laughing hit of the bill.

It has been years since the "Little Comedian" has been south and no doubt his many friends in and out of the profession will entertain him toally. On this trip, Mr. Dudley invites his paying his home via Dudley himself doesn't know just what town to call his home, so he says Texas, as the following towns declare he is theirs: Dallas, Houston, Galveston, Sherman (the town after which was named) and Fort Worth.

ELLA GOODLOE HAVING SUCCESS (By Edw. H. Rogers.) Ella Goodloe, well known in vaudeville, is sojourning at West Baden Springs. She is singing at Rice's Rathdrum and the Springs, since she has been at Rices, the Rathdraskeeper has been packed every night. She makes quite a hit in singing You Are a Long, Long Woman from Home. Recently she sang at the Springs opera house, appearing as the leading lady for Rice and Mason's "Mayor of the audience" of some of the most beautiful white people of the country, and I am sure MISS ELLA GOODLOE. they had never heard such class in ragtime. After Miss Goodloe had sung it, he asked the audience to request by the audience to sing "just a few more," so the show was late, while Miss Goodloe entertained. The writer cannot close this article with the title "The Unknown Plan of the Youth," but thony Spaulding, Miss Goodloe's able accompanist, Mr. Spaulding is what might be the "Unknown Plan of the Youth," and plays ragtime, and all classical music. It is an easy matter for Mr. Spaulding, who placed a piece of "Dying Poet," "Last Hour" and the "Hindoo" without his music, West of the River, and hopes he shall remain the unknown.

Young Joe Gans, of New Orleans, and Frank Hunter, of Baltimore, were matched at the Palace Park Arena Tuesday night, May 25th, in a 15-round bout, which ended in a decision for the clever little mit artist from the cosmopolitan city of the South, as every round from the third was his. Although the boy from old Maryland is a fair scraper, and carries a pretty heavy wallop, he was no equal of the clever little scraper from old New Orleans. Gans is a clean and clever fighter, and has more than made a favorable impression with the fight fans of this city, as every one who has seen him considers him one of the best colored boys in the business, and is anxious to see him meet Leo Johnson here. THE FAMOUS SPRUDELS PLAY ING GOOD BALL. The West Baden Sprudels are playing good ball: have played thirty-five games in the only colored club in the world who play daily. There is hardly a day from April to October that the Sprudels play. The team is owned and controlled by Elw. H. Rogers, who is said to be quite a favorite at the Springs Hotel. The team has been built around the country. It is built round something like the old. Ephesus Theatre. The team has seated around the baseball boys. Their board and lodging are given free by the hotel. This is done that the Springs will have a good team to entertain the audience in the Valley during the summer. They have been many teams in and out of the Springs during the past six years, and the Sprudels have always given them a good game. Such teams are the most eminent of the National League, have JOE LAYNE, Vice-Pres. FRED BOSTIC, L. F. E. TYLER, R. F. played the Spruels; American Giants, St. Louis Giants, Louisville White Sox, A. B. C.'s and many other well known teams visit West. Baden every year. The Sprurels have never been East, but expect to get up there some time playing ball today. No other team playing ball today has that reputation the Sprurels has. Whenever a baseball fan sees the word Sprurel he cannot help but say our boys will be there. The Sprurels are two players on the Sprurel team that are recognized all over the countryside and Ty Cobb-Chapple Johnson George Brown—both are well known as real ball players with the Sprurels that will soon be at the top of their class—Ted Kimbro and Dan Kninnard. The Sprurels have visited apolls and many other small towns this season. At each place they have drawn no less than two thousand. Diligence is the addition to Ed Rogers, West Baden, Ind.

The contest may be next November. BRIGHTON BEACH, N. Y. —The fat frame of old Jim Flynn houses the fireman is still as willing as ever, but the flesh of thirty-six hard summers and winters hangs heavily about his waist. Right rounds he made a gallant stand against the powerful young Jim Flynn, and Brighton Beach June 1, and then in the ninth a drapping sponge came splashing into the ring. Jack Curley, Flynn's manager, tossed it there. BUFFALO—Because Jimmy Duffy, the fireman, was overweight, Freddie Welsh refused to enter the ring with him June 1. Four thousand spectators waited near the stage. The preliminaries had been run off and the stage was set for the big bout, but the poundage to the local boy on their last encounter and then faced a home town decision against him.

I have fought from coast to coast and met all the best boys in and out the lightweight class and have beaten every 100 boy. I went against it, will I stop his old Holmes's day? June 6, at the Sanders Arena for a side between $300, at 133 lbs ringside. I look upon this as a workout and nothing else. Please say for me to Rattlesnake Kid and Leo Johnson that I will meet either one of them for the championship. I'd bet on the day of the 2500 $200 in 30 days from today at any club in the country, at 133. Now if either wants to be called the undisputed champion he must first beat Kid Jones. Johnson is a good boy, but I am better. As if I see the geager's art, I can't be in if I get on the chance beat him in six rounds. This good old right arm of mine is getting solid again. I believe it is as good as ever before I broke up on Dave Brown in Grenville, Miss. I was on a 31th day at the day of the 2500 $200 out of $100 to 133 and then look-out you self-stlied champions. I am dying to get at Mr. Snake and Mr. Johnson, also Mr. Grant, of Charleston, S. C. beat Kid Jones and this you will be called the champion. Yours in your heart.

Bramlette, the manufacturer of the Hawaiian Hair Grower Preparations, has designed a monorail tour June 5. She intends to stay on road as long as the weather conditions permit. The Hawaiian preparations have met with a wonderful success since they were first introduced in 2010. The cause of this is allowed to honest dealing with the public and living up to advertisements, before beginning experiments for her own preparations, used many others, among them being the market at the present time, but to no avail. Some seemed to be doing good work, but others were not using months' use there had been no results attained. The flash that showed in the first three months had died out. The results were not good, and the break off. This is what caused Mme. Bramlette to begin to think. Preparations come from no vision or haunting spirits, but are the fruits from the mind. The search for the cause and remedy for colored people's hair being hard and brittle, and the cutting of the breaking off, splitting of strands and dandruff troubles were seen to come under the same head. The public was not coloring and white, for years. Some claim to be able to grow hair where teachers us that nothing grows without MME. T. G. BRAMLETTE. seed or root. No hair culturist has been able to make anything that will produce a root to a strand of hair yet. That work is all left to God. But the thinking public always knows as Mimil Bemess always has a strong and proven with her goods, that if a person has the roots of their hair that a preparation which contains ingredients that are good-being and nourishing are filled on the scalp to act, and be to the scalp will take on new life through the reception of proper nourishings from the scalp and grow. Some hair dressers speak of a "growing hand," but that belongs back in the superstitious age as it is contradicted by their own methods. If a hair dresser possesses a "growing hand" and does not have some of a variation instead of her hand? The secret of growing hair lies in the preparation used. After proving the hair a positive hair growth is growing, the hair of her immediate family, Mme. Bramlette introduced it to a few friends. They became interested, and soon Mme. Bramlette had to prepare a place in her own place at the same time. She made agents of some who wished to enter into the business and taught her son, who had just returned from the army, how to give treatments so no need to be proposed. He happened in while she was away. The first year in this city being such a success, she ventured out farther, visiting Ohio and Kentucky. Her stay in Cincinnati was met with a great success, and she was been advertised in the newspapers, therefore not being heard of outside the city, but knowing she had something that would do the work and bent on square dealing and wanting to help others out without fear of the world's criticism to prove that her methods are effective, because of bad weather and began to prepare for a tour which will take her into many states before the weather She is making terms to agents very liberal, asking a small sum for the shipment of goods with front directions and all those wishing to become agents to send one dollar for a five box assorted shipment for treating their own hair. She is making terms to agents to order to prove the value of her preparations by the condition of the agent's hair, then it is easy for them to confirm whether she has not been prepared re- Each box of either preparation re- tails for twenty-five cents. This is done so it will be in reach of everybody with benefit. Mme.
