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 Then Lawyer W. L. Hoonston was placed in the race, only to be withdrawn later.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-

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.

Washington to Have New Colored Bank.
According to best advice, Washington is to have a new colored bank in the city, and the farthest, Mr. E. C. 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.

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."
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.

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? We have the Tectonic whites have faded away, like the color, but can we historically as members of a race whose past glories have faded away, say so of the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Celtic, the kings of Senegambia and her murder of Tomissant L. Overture; the despicable cruelty of Leopold of Belgium's officials to the Congo Free of Belgium to the Jews, by the Rug-
sians—and the ungrateful acts of Italy to the descendants of the immortal black conqueror of Balkan and late treacherous exploits of North Africa and disastrous attempts on Abysinia are retributive fruits, given by the scourge of God, the heathen territories of Africa was and is a blessing in disguise to the man of color—enabling him to shake off the darkness of his own position from his psychological dormancy and beft himself to participate in the council of races. 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.
Young Hampton Man Making Good.

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.

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. Of the 29 in trustees, 16 have two or more years previous to the present year. 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.

A FEW REPORTS FROM THE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN GREATLY BENEFITED BY THE USE OF THE HAWAIIAN HAIR GROWING PREPARATIONS.
My head was full of dandruff and my hair thin and would comb out so badly that I would have to lie in Mme. Bramlet's goods. Now my hair is thick, free from dandruff and the falling has stopped.—Mrs. A. G. Bramlet, W. W. M. Bramlet. I had a very unbecoming bald spot, so I used some of the Hawaiian Grower and now the hair has grown to a full head. I have Harry Henderson, 1014 Fayette street. My hair was so short it would hardly be noticeable. Bramlet's treatments 18 months ago, and now I can do my hair in most any style without a braid.—Mrs. Agnes Armstrong, W. W. M. Bramlet. Before I began Mme. Bramlet's treatments my hair was out at the beach. I had a braid. I began in September, and now I do my hair without the aid of a braid.—Mrs. William Cotton, 829 North West

shortly’ after’ his retirement from

widow of Andrew Booker, late Firs
Sergeant, Company K, 20th Infantry.
‘Mrs, Booker had but recently re.
turned to Hawail from an extended vis.

formed that Mrs. Clifford's property
was about to be sold for taxes.” She
went to work immediately and solicit.
ed the ald 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 regiment were such that no one
could doubt the sincerity. of her. pur-
ose which she assumed voluntarily
without being requested by Mrs. Clif-
ford or any one else.
It is not known whether or not the
money reached Mrs. Clifford in time. to
save her property, as the letter con-
Veying the news of her distress ‘was
long In recelpt before Mra. Booker was
informed of its contents, alse she
‘would have acted sooner; but as it was

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 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. The real 101 Ranch show with 101 real features has come and gone. On June 4 they visited the lakes and they pleased it only putting it mildly. Mr. Jess Willard, one of the big features; then L. K. Baker and one of the big features; and the talk of the lakeside town. "This troupe was more than appreciated during the day. Their music is good and they are for such attractions. Mr. Will Nash as for 'Aunt' Hestor is a scream. (Sure have got 'em, Will.) They are also a pleasing feature. And my old friend Doc Ford, is as popular as the Ford car, and that's universal. Prof. Baker be committed to them this season. They are 'Balling the Jack' into the hearts of all the sightseers at the mighty end of luck to the whole bunch. By the time this reaches your office the Damon Show will be on its way once again.

MOTION PICTURES FAIL T DRAW AT THE GRAND THEATRE.
Gene Greene Remained Poplar-
Greenee & Drayton Capture.
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.

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

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

This writing finds us still in North Carolina, and every one well in the swell little city of Moorehead City, N.C. May 28, 1815, members of the company had the honor and pleasure of presenting "Tachit Hazel." Our parade went aboard and enjoyed a pleasant ride over to the office, after sermoning the ability of that beautiful woman with an excellent musical program, then returning to our car, and leaving planned for a fishing trip, and lots of the members went along with them, and planned for a lightful and recreative. Every one appeared to be in gay spirits for the performance that they made and appreciative audience. Mrs. Joe White, the distinguished wife of our devoted trap master, and with her mother-in-law, at cozy
An ample salary and good clothes does not relieve their ignorance, but helps them to work and obnoxious. 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.
Dink Stewart received a telegram Friday notifyying him of the death of his brother. The Stewart brothers were well known in vaudeville circles.

His methods of provoking mirth are severely criticised by some public just what it desires, as he is considered the best drawing card in colored vaudeville and that is all perverses are expected to do—please the public.

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

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.

VIRGINIA MINSTRELS.
We are still having the old reliable three meals per day. Breakfast from five o'clock, lunch from twelve until one o'clock and dinner from five until six o'clock. Mr. Robert Campbell is our new chef. He is the head chef and the satisfy he is one of the neatest and cleanest cooks we have ever had. What I mean, takes a "crackerjack" and the satisfy other obstacles that frequent minstrelsy. The oilie acts are figuring far brighter with versatility will go into vaudeville after the closing of the Virginia minstrels. The Hoosier monologist, also the fashion plate of the Virginia Minstrels, will spring some old moldmade clothes on the Butterfield time. The "Grimes," William and Parthela, will do the Dudley time and the Monologist probably rest up until next spring. Mr. Ed Gentry, assistant manager, an assistant son is still at his post. Gentry is well liked by both colored and white. Our base ball team, the "Virginia Nine," is a difficult task to ascertain their latest move. They can talk baseball, when it comes to playing—Lord help them.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA
TRE, PHILADELPHIA.
The Flying Kellers, a tireless young woman and a man doing trapeze feats, are the only ones to be held of each feat. The young woman was never at rest during the continuance of the act, and she had to do all of the work she needed to assist her neck from ropes attached to her neck held by her hands, and allowing him to whirl or to gyrate with abandon. It was breathless test of endurance and skill. Lona Bert Murphy, with parodies and with sayings and "jokelets" old and new, was the only Florence Mills and Kinkley a youth-

he made a pretty brave note to every move made by Kelly and Davis, eccentric comedians of rare talent. They are good and kind, and they are good and kind. They always sprung something new and bright and are hard working entertainers with lots of good material who soon won the applause and the laughter. Coates, Keene and Johnson, with some patter, singing and acrobatic dancing, included who also comedy skit of Dink Stewart and Jim Burris Co, in a "False Wife," found much favor. He included a film of current events. The attendance, despite the bad weather, is big. Manager Gibson, always alive to the times, made a twenty-foot electric sign, which can be seen ten blocks away.

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

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.

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.

FINNEY SHADES ATTELL.
DENVER, Colo. June 3—Kid Finney the little Pittsburgh colored flash, won the 2012 NCAA championship of Monte Attell, of California. Attell started off in good style using a left jab which bothered Finney considerably. He then cut the jab, cut floored Finney in the third round
THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER
and in the fourth Attell got going and with a left hook closed Finney's optic, before he left the box before he lay a glove on the shiny Easterner, while in return he received more punches than he believed could ever be delivered. Finney was not worth against the tactics of Finney. Finney displayed all his style long range and infighting, footwork and the like, but at no time was he more successful than in wallop, pulling his punches nine times out of ten. Because the promoters of Great Northern Northern give no hint of the great center of the game, receipts with $600 guarantee, J. J. McCarty passes up $600 for offer his little battler, but in the box, the Coloreau battler attains weight champ on June 12th, at Windsor, Canada.
