Your correspondent realizes that this is a difficult field and young colored men are often too ordinary to courage and devotion. This city has a number of able young lawyers of the race who are making an effort to choose a lawyer. Among them is Walter J. Chow, of 13th Street, who is rapidly coming to the force in his profession. He has his ability in more than one way as a lawyer of this city, and has shown that he is able to master big things in a legal life. Mr. Conway is well prepared for his lookout for the improvements that come to this profession. He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and is a graduate of public school and the Dwight School, from which he graduated and 1911. He has made a special civil law and he is recognized as being able in that of law. He is the lawyer of the High School of Accepted Masons as well as for several corporations. He is active in all movements having for their aim the uplift of the race. Negroes to Have Community Center. One of the most effective sociological measures for the civic and educational purposes of the Negroes of the metropolis is the establishment of a community center at public school 89, located at 132d street and Lenox avenue in the heart of the Negro population in this city. The center will be the common life of the community life of the neighborhood will furnish a center from which will educate the civic, educational and recreational activity of the neighborhood. A canvass of the neighborhood is being led side with a view of making the plans of the community meeting and with a study of the number of organizations in the section that are conducted by the community meetings are being held where the districts of these canvasses are being evened. The center is open three evenings a week and judged from the way the movement of the neighborhood it will be a success. By the evening of the fall plans will be perfect the center. On Thursday evening the center will be open for dances which will furnish the recreational diversion for the young people of the community. The center under the most careful scrutiny and censored by a committee of elderly persons all persons of an objectionable nature. An admission fee of ten cents will be charged and no one under eighteen years of age will be permitted to enter the dances. It is believed that these community dances will do away with the large number of dance halls in the neighborhood that furnish the lighter neighborhood of the young people of the community. people of the community. The faculties will be furnished by Negro musicians of the community. Other features that will be established, at the center will be the faculties of the school, which will be of a great economic value to the school children, who in many cases must go without their school uniforms. The various organizations of the community will hold their weekly and monthly meetings in the school building, and the faculty will be charged each organization. The movement to establish a community center in this city which will effect the development of the most effective social movements that has ever been launched in this city. A large community center in the most affluent areas of Harlem will be the means of changing the face of the community. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois Insults Young Man. One of the leading daily newspapers of this city a few months ago paid a visit to the school he beased a photo-play. The idea was what was wanted, and no reference to Brother Dubois would make a greater success if he was more solicitous of the welfare of the young men of the school of the Crisis to send in manuscripts.

A Correction. In our account of the ordination of the Rev. Shelton Bishop at St. Thomas church on Sunday afternoon the memorial man delivered by the Rev. Father Massiah was incorrect. The sudden death of Bishop Massiah changed the original program; and as Bishop Anderson was not present, he initiated Bishop Osborn, of Springfield, to preside over the memorial of Father Massiah to preach the sermon. We offer our sincere apology to Father Massiah for the error in the sermon, and we urge headquarters for our information. The public of Chicago know too well the pulitility of Father Massiah, the power to effect an effort on this occasion. The Rev. Bishop should be eternally indebted to Father Massiah for having arranged so splendid a service for his ordination here in Chicago. **Passes Civil Service Examination.** Mrs. Edna Dixon, 551 Bryant avenue, is the race of the race who successfully passed a civil service examination for bath attendant in the public schools.

A WOMAN'S RIGHTS. A woman's rights—to be loved as she honors her, to be honored and trusted as you are or I would be. A woman's rights—to be part of yours truly. A woman's rights—to see you, see you. All but your evil and anger and sinning— And that she will know by the light of her light, Which is surely a gift, if it isn't a right. A woman's rights—to be talked to in tenderness, Treated with candor and frankness and care, A comrade, companion through all this dark wilderness; Part of your compassion as well as your prayer; Part of your hoping and planning and purpose; Part of your sorrow and trouble and woe; Part of your laughter and sunshine and laughing. Knowing you, all of you, all that's to know. A woman's rights—to have means without asking for Every five cents that she needs in her Her gladness the object of all you are tasking for Proud of the comrade you have in your Proud of her beauty, devotion—and giving her More than a mere casual mention or A thing to be round when you need something done, And paid for at times with a bonnet or dress. —Selected.

The latest on the German-American situation: Bernstoff has message. Ready to inform President that the submarine policy of Germany will be modified if Britain will consent to raise blockade. That's the nut. The editor of the Broad Ax, of Chicago, seems to have boosted the Rev. Dr. Carey of that city. He has been appointed to a municipal office at a salary of $2,400. As pastor of the great Institutional church and a municipal officer he ought to have easy sailing from this time on. Alex. E. Manning, of "The World" a publication of this city, is being urged for the recordership of deeds vacancy at Washington, D. C. Mr. Manning is one of the best-known Negro Democrats of the country. He has stood for his party in and out of season. He is of good ability, fine address and splendid temperament. As a fellow townsman we take advantage of the opportunity to say a word for the genial Indianian who is known far and near for his party faithfulness. It is said that Chief Justice White of the supreme court, attended a private presentation of Dixon's picture play at White House. Advantage was to be taken of his presence in the sense that it was an endorsement of the picture. He hearing of it, wrote a letter to the White House, saying that if such advantage was taken that he would denounce the pictures in public over his own name. He did not approve them, saying to the effect that they were a shameful exhibition. The Knights of Pythias hold forth at Columbus, O., in August. The charge has been made that the city was not prepared to care for the many thousands that usually attend the conclaves. Supreme Chancellor says that the city is fully prepared to take care of the visitors. It was cited that Columbus had cared for 35,000 visitors during the B. M. C. This was nine years ago. With more conveniences than then there is no reason why that city should not be equal to the emergency. THE JITNEY BUSSES The jitney buss is something like the English sparrow which has come in, taking possession without any formality. This bird which has become a pest so far as it concerns other birds is of some use; it destroys the worms and bugs. It has driven everything from the streets by way of birds, except the big pigeons which they can't budge and a few other birds which they can't catch. Otherwise they have a monopoly of the town, dislaining, we think, to live in the country. On this point we are not sure. Mr. Watson Woolen, the bird authority, can speak with more assurance as to that. The subject is jitney busses but the puffinous creature is so interesting that the temptation to follow the fortunes can scarcely be resisted. The sparrows impresses one as being of the slum phase of birds, and which phase is so interesting because so radical in departure from the conventions of society. But back to the jitneys. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company has filed with the public service commission a long petition asking for an order from the commission, "declaring persons owning, operating, managing and controlling jitney busses to be public utilities and subject to the authority of the public service." The busses been running like office without warrants. They came in, went to doing business without consulting any one. The public carrier companies naturally enough oppose this competition whi his without taxation by way of franchise. The busses are doing business through the state of Indiana. EXQUISITE AND EXACT. The Indianapolis Freeman presents the suggestion of a Harvard Professor that the mind gets burn after the experience of being alone. "that we have seen persons who appeared only in their intellectual birth at about the age the professor says the sun of the human intellect is exquisite and exact, "figuratively, the lowest point opposite the sun." We have taught men in conventions to engage in the nursery and the school, and we are free to say we have found their age made of burn before and after various stages of the years. It is not merely a suspicion that the savior lives on the burn, and the queer things that gather about and adhere to bummage.—The Philadelphia Tribune. The above is from the pen of T. Thomas Fortune, considered by many as the Nestor of the Negro press. It is also the name associated with the Tribune, where, according to the issue before us he is in his old form. This means that he is doing brilliant work such as characterized him years ago. It goes without saying that we are pleased to know that he is pleased with the little touch we gave the editorial he quoted. A master is always a master; and the pupil likes to hear the commending word even should he equal the master. He speaks with authority—one thinks. "Exquisite" is a very fine word, and to be earnestly applied to one's endeavors is highly complimentary. And speaking of Mr. Fortune's ability, he has always had a splendid fitness for saying things in a close up way. This quality made his editorials in the "New York Age" stand out, and gave his utterances when preparing addresses to the country in organizations of various kinds a zest that at once appealed as tenacious, pretty and sensible—a hard combination to beat. Mr. Fortune does not agree with the Harvard professor, nor does he see it exactly as we see it as it concerns the age when the intellect gets on the bum. He has it that it is at any old age, premature senility, or dotage may set in, nor youth nor old age can circumvent. And that is true. But of course the Harvard man was trying to establish a rule, or to discover one. Mr. Fortune's observation at the chapel of his comment is a vagary of his own perhaps, and which may be a general truth, or one in particular. We, however, agree with him that the status of the intellect is not fixed by set rules, nor does it observe them to a nicety. STANDING UP FOR NEGROES. The New York World, called an administration sheet, had the following to say of the recent Supreme Court decision touching on Southern constitutions: We expect to see this judgment honestly observed presently in all places. There was a time when conscientious officers had had doctrines and criminal practices by which elections in the period after Reconstruction were carried. Schoolled in Civil War and vice been the law, and this could not count to their sons. So now, the Supreme Court having spoken, thousands of true Americans will be called back to political standards and which ultimately must prevail. How the problem is to be worked out is a question that may properly be addressed by the inhabitants of the South. The court has set before them anew the old vision of the Declaration. In that aspiration, nevertheless, lies the one hope of a true Republic. It should be an incentive to white men as well as to black men. The highest privileges of citizenship be bestowed on the one worthy of them. If restrictions there must be, they can apply hereafter only to those who are affluent and shameless. If no regard for religion no grandfather can save them. No favoring law can supply their shortcomings. If prejudices can elevate the above men better equipped for self-government. We are indelible to Bishop Walters for this extract from an editorial in the World. He holds it highly significant and important that such a powerful journal has come out so clear cut for the citizen regardless of color. He says that Southern publications are changing front. One of the bitterest anti-Negro editors, who has had mean expression for Negroes, declared that he had made his last ming-fing at the race. Similar expressions are heard, meaning that the second emancipation, and which is spiritually political, is in the class with the first as a thing of importance. Now and then there comes a wall that the old order will maintain, but it is like that of a lost soul. The change is welcomed by all. An honorable man is such the world over, North or South. Those who stoutly contend for the old order will be, in the language of Henry Sienkiewicz, chased back to their dens of darkness, as the approaching light of morn chases the vampires back to the graves from which they came. GERMANY'S ATTITUDE. We should feel very lucky indeed that the attitude of Germany towards this country is such that we need not feel called on to fight unless we chose to do so. The gentlemanly principle is a good one to apply in this case. The well-bred man, the thoroughly well-bred man, will allude to the fact that he insulted that it was intended that he should be insulted before he resorts to fighting. That Germany's last note was not conclusive as is much as can be said about it. It was just as admirable in tone as the first one, but more argumentative, yet conciliatory and friendly. The argumentative tone tended to destroy the beautiful conciseness of the first note. The literary phase, however, did not destroy the content. The note was apologetic, conceding as much as any first class nation could concede and expect to live. What is left uncared for, it still uses must be asked for by the subject of courts set for adjudication. Germany has suggested reparation in instances for the wrongs done without hostile intent. Whether it extends so far as to take in the Lusitania incident ought to be decided in an arbitration court. That government has its side of the story. We have another view. Germany's contention does not look bad to the utmost fair-minded individual. That country contends that the Lusitania carried munitions of war, and further that merementants had orders from the British government to ram German submarines when found possible to do so. Many of us hoat at the start. It is Gershon for contending established international rules, it is a mitigating circumstance. The story must be combatted elsewhere than in the newspapers. Our country is intensely pro-ally, nor do we get away from our sympathies for France and Belgium, especially prostrate Belgium, but at that we are not willing to join the chorus of opposition that is willing to provoke a war because of the sympathies. Nor do we think the people THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. who would have to fight in case of war are behind the vain vapors of the press which has opened up like masked bateries, and against a foe that is as illusionary as any of those met by Don Quixote. The German press of America, practically as a unit, together with the recent views of. Mr. Bryan, and also those of a few of our publications not German, have said the things that best represent the deeper American thought. We are nothing with the philosophy of "How der Krieger," or "Durchland ueber uelers," but we stand for an honesty of relationship that takes no denial anywhere. We know that it appears foolish to speak of the German press of America as voicing the true sentiment. This is so nevertheless, the peculiar situation compelling it. The German editors can not get away from their sympathy for der vaterland, and yet they are true to their adopted country, it is easy to see that they must speak bed-rock truths uninfluenced by love of past or present home. Passion can play small part in what they have to say. The manhood of them stands erect, nor looks this way nor that, but sternly and steadily in the face of facts. The concensus of their opinions is that this country can see a way to come to terms with Germany through the notes of Herr Von Jagow if it cares to. This is much different to the indifferent expressions of the press in general with its "impossibles," "insult," "wholly unsatisfactory," and other flippancies in view of the grave situation that confronts us. England, France, Italy, join in the refrain, saying "insult," which fact bespeaks the partisanship, and which as it concerns this country must be purged or else we bring on our heads untold troubles. BISHOP WALTERS FOR MANNING Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion church, was in the city last Tuesday on his way from Chicago to Birmingham, Ala. He was a very welcome visitor since it is conceded that he is the man of the hour as it concerns the relationship of the Negroes to the present administration. He was in the best of moods, wearing his years as jauntily as a playful boy does his cap. He is the picture of health, having a round ruddy face crowned by a shock of beautiful white hair which would have been an object of envy in the days of powdered wigs. It gives him a distinguished appearance, and which at once impresses one on seeing him as a prince of men. He is tall, massive, moving as an athlete in the freedom of his limbs—a supreme specimen of Negro physical manhood. Above all this is his intellectual endowment, which together with his engaging manner and the theatre of usefulness that he has mapped out for himself, makes for a most interesting personage. The bishop is enthusiastically optimistic, especially so in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court concerning the constitutions of several of the Southern States. He sees the dawn of a new day for the republic, which is at last a republic indeed and in truth. From other sources it has been learned that to Bishop Walters is due no little credit for the wholesome changes that are being worked out in behalf of the race. Standing as he does, among those who have had the reputation of wishing the Negroes ill political luck, he has been able to press home the cause of the race to a greater advantage than it was possible for other men to do. The bishop has made a missionary of himself. And as he moves up and down the States, the Southern States particularly, he preaches the new gospel of enlarged Negro liberty in the strongholds of opposition. He says that the bourbonite species of Democracy as it concerns the political advancement of the Negro is giving way. The lessons of moderation and toleration are being learned. Men who have grown old in the service of denying Negro oppression are casting doubt and in doing so are getting more of the spirit of the brotherhood of man in their nature. Something of a political revival is on in the country, says the bishop. He then told how, at the recent Christian Endeavor meeting at Chicago, which he had the honor of addressing, at the close of which that body voted unanimously to take a new attitude towards the Negro race. This meeting was the International Christian Endeavor Society, July 7-15. Subject, "Christianity the Solution of Race Prejudice." In this address the bishop maintained that the brotherhood of man was the great objective in the various lands, and the "struggle will not cease," he says, "until the recognition of men as a brotherhood shall have become an accomplished fact." This leveling up process will not be escaped in our own country, was the fine application, and where soever the plumbing is not true the higher laws of God and man will attend that defective masonry. The bishop is somewhat at sea concerning the seeming indifference of the administration to the political ambition of the Negroes who would hold office. He regrets very much that a Negro was not sent to Haytii, and he is apprehensive about the position of Recorder of Deeds at Washington, D. C., which office has been figured out as an heirloom to the Negro race. This position has not been filled, and the bishop is of the opinion that it should fall to one of the race. The political importance of Indiana, it is thought, will be of weight in determining who shall be selected. The thought naturally brings to mind the resignation of Dr. Benson, of this State, as Minister to Liberia, making it, as one would think, a matter of doubt about the selection of another Indiana man for the position. The bishop takes the view that the State was not represented politically by the appointment of the Evansville man. He has nothing to urge against him as a gentleman. He insists that he was unknown, and, as politics go, had no share in the promotion of Democratic success. This is true. On the theory that men who work to bring success to their party should be rewarded—and further that the greater the activity the greater the reward. Dr. Buckner, a comparatively unknown man, should not have outclassed Alex. E. M. Manning of Indiana. Often when parties are successful some of the members take great pride in a show of independence by overlooking the ladder on which they climbed to fame, as old Cassius observed of Julius Caesar. It is not our object to read that party a lesson, but even its most indifferent members will not get away from the fact that parties are essential to good government in republics. Par- ties can not be built and maintained without active individual support. And when this is given, everything else being equal those who gave the support should be preferred when it comes to the distribution of rewards. We are not particularly endorsing Mr. Manning, but we are not willing to shut our eyes to plain facts. He has long been the Negro Democratic leader in Indiana. Others came and went but he went on "forever." He has had his small rewards, but nothing that answers his services. He is cleanly privately and publicly, an estimable gentleman who has stood up for the years, insisting on being somebody, when so many have given up. He stands here in Indiana as he did years ago a stalwart for Democracy, consistent, intelligent. He is favorably known all over the country for his political integrity and his racial integrity. The greater movements from those in motion by Dr. Booker T. Washington down has had his uplifting influence and support. Mr. Manning should now come into his own, the reward he won, even should it go elsewhere. A. B. C.'s TRIM GUNTHERS.

You're the best in the business. Jeffries showed Tuesday that he is not all in yet. He pitched a wonderful game. Ben Taylor is certainly playing a wonderful game these days. Hitting the ball hard, too. When Powell overthrew first base in the sixth "Bill" Bailey and Sid Cowden nearly threw a fit. "Uncle" Rube Foster and his American Giants, of Chicago, open a five-game series with the A's at Federal Park tomorrow. The A's made five errors Sunday. They want to get all of them out of their system by the time "Rube" and his night warriors arrive. The A's have a wonderful ball player in Gordon, lately of the Brooklyn Stars. He is a heavy hitter, and fast as lightning on the bases. Ordinarily, Sunday's game should have been a shatter-out, as "Dizzy" pitched support was just a little weak, that's all. Lafferty, who pitched for the Gunther's Sunday, uses some sort of dope or th ball, but it took more than he possessed to stop those slugging A B --- Charleston, the heavy hitting outfielder, is back in the fold again. Charleston has gained the same "simp-frofs" Charleston made four hits out of four times up Sunday. Going some. Powell should see that his lady friend gets her "feed" money before he leaves home. It's awful embarrassing for a young lady to come right up in front of another young lady and tell her humility. That will never do, Russell. The writer was presented a season pass by Mr. Bowser, for which he extends his thanks. Although I have always had the privilege of going in, this is the first time I have ever had a pass in my own name. Many thanks, Mr. T. A. M. B. Shively pulled one over on Geiser, on his way to the third inning of Sunday's game, when he singled, and instead of stopping at first, he kept right on going. Geiser had was so seated, threw the ball to Shively landed safely on second. That's base ball. Clark has been in many a mixup on the ball field, but I'll wager he never was as "jammed" as he was Monday night, while he was standing in front of the Columbia theater talking to one of his browns, his "steady" came along and she didn't do anything but snap on the jaw. That won't do, oboy. THE CUBAN STARS TAKE SERIES FROM AMERICAN GIANTS.

(By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., July 14—There was another record breaking crowd at the double header Suns vs. the Cubs was the fifth game in the series of the Giants vs. the Cuban Stars. The Cubans won their first game, and the Cubs won their second two teams played great ball up to the 15th Annual July.Clearance Sale Our Complete Stock Reduced 20% to 30% teenth inning when the game was called by Umpire Goekle on account of darkness. Wickwire was on the slab in the first game and a sudden attack of slabs drove him out. He was not there long before Whitworth held them down when the score reached 10 to 4. The best game was the last one when the score was 10 to 4. He lost the game on errors at short and home plate, two positions badly in need of good men. Foster did some fine work, displaying brilliant baseball skills. He was on the bench for kicking to Umpire Goekle. The spunky Cuban donned his street clothes and came to the bench again. He was admonished to leave but not to return. He was sent to the grandstand. During the intermission Mr. Schorling did not issue any passes to go outside. There was no such thing as going back. He had been cut out entirely this year, so govern yourself accordingly. The crowds this season have been exceedingly large, but the heres has been entirely gone. The fans, not in the bleachers but in the grandstand. Mr. Foster should instruct the officers to see that these loud mouth bolstered screams are not true. Sure people. There can be as much quiet here as there is at the big league if the managers would only require it.

A program of good features will be rendered will include the best talent of the city. AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATRE McCarver and McCarver, Green and Pugh, Hamtree Harrington, Eloise Johnson—A Bill of Good Performers. If the Crown Garden patrons don't hold up the house it will not be the manor week is a good entertainer, every performer having a reputation for success. McCarver and McCarver, All Around Entertainers, This team is what might be called a standard team. Both are well seasoned and have a great ability over for his fun making ability. He knows just what to do. He easily ranks as one of the leading comedians of the world. He is ably assisted by Sadie, who, as a straight and a songster, is a worthy friend and sister of the team, but just some speak of as divinely tall; just enough to give distinction to her graceful movements. She is a handsome and stylish student of the team by variety of her gowns which she wears most becoming. A glint of light from her hands makes her stand out in the gowns which talk their own variation. Their entrance is rather sensationally especially that of the male McCarrer, who made a mistake in thinking that the husband of the woman was in Chihuahua, a new, refreshing, good. Billie has wit to let and Sadie knows how to draw it. She makes a hit in his old man tunes when he says that he is Elwood C. Knox, when about sixty years old. The stunt is good and clever—the finish is a great The succeeding stunt includes a skillful cane feature, when Billie, as a soldier, full of badness, has his cane do the job. The song is by Mrs. McCarver. "The Ragtime Minstrel Band," a duet, in which there was pretty dance movements, is the closing song. "The McCarver sings, touchingly 'When You're All In, Out and Down.' Billie puts over in his inimitable style, 'The Pick of the Family.' The act is a bit of a comedy, easily sustaining the fame of the team as one of the best before the public. Green and Pugh, Classy Singers, Talkers, Dancers. Green and Pugh have established themselves as the music was the signal that something good was to follow. They enter with a dash, which together with their tip-up, makes their new song sing well together, both having good, clear, clean-cut voices. Their "You've Done It" song showed up greatly in his solo. "You're More Than the World To Me" makes a big hit in his "Alabama Jubilee." He makes a bigger hit when he does a bit of fine stage prancing, the kind which George Walker used to name for himself. The instrument playing, trombone and cornet, was amusing. When they finally got down to business the music went Hamtree Harrington, Monologist and Eccentric Dancer. Hamtte Harrington is on his return engagement after an absence of a few weeks, the time in which he is on. Harrington is a conscientious work, making it a point to give the team the opportunity to performers who have had the nerve to stand up "single-handed," and he does so with great ful motuologistus of the race. His is a dry witt that scores every time. Harrington is strictly originary, he assists in the order of a letter "S," which with his skinny clothes, makes for a grotesque figure that opens up the heart and quality of making good in what he has to say and do—these GREEN At the Crown Garden Theater, India As a team of two they are at the than when they were of their tr GREEN & PUGH At the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, this week.

His change of suits is a feature, the last one being a facsimile of the first one, a bimmy, but a costume de rigour just the same. He sings a comedy hit, "When Things Go Wrong" and Thin Out. He is a riot when he puts on his original dance, "The Tango Twist." A good act. Eloise Johnson, Songstress, Denseuse Miss Johnson comes and goes, and misses little performer whom all are all glad to see. She both singing and dancing, the soul and energy, she puts in it, compels admiration, she moves and dances. Her dance movements get away from those of any other performer. She shears it up, and compliments it up it won't be long before there will be performers doing Eloise Johnson. She will be compliment to be paid a performer. She grace itself. Her wardrobe is of utility, quality, making for one of the dainties attractive figures seen on the stage.

LOISVILLE, KY., July 11, 1915.—West Baden Spruen galiowed into the game series with the Louisville White Sox out to League Park at 7th and Kentucky street. With "Young" Saturday's game 5 to 0, letting the boys from the resort down with four scattered hits. But the Spruenels got rebounded Sunday, trimming the Sox to 4 to 3. Burch started chucking the pill Sunday, but not being in form and having from the box in the sixth inning. The turtures of Sundays' game were the sentinel stops, Game 5 from Stop, Games, and the pegging of Catcher Jones of the White Sox, with some timely hitting and two errors. The Spruenels had a win, which proved enough to win the game, the Sox got two in the seventh and one in the ninth but was unable to win the game. The Spruenels went to the firing line Monday and showed the bunch that he could still shake them up a little, although the game was not enough, the he became stronger and won an eleven inning battle, six to five. The Plutos, of French Lick, are due in October and some warm games are looked for. AB. BH. PO. A. ab. bh. po. a.

Davis is an acceptable “feed- er” for the engaging nonsense of Staf- ford. He has a rather pleasing voice and ‘hag as yet caught none of the tricks of stage singers to add force to his volee at the cost of tone. Stafford does. blackface, which cannot conceal the fact that he le a born entertainer, The Clarks were pleasing to look upon, and were favored by the audience as much for the smile and smart costum- ing of Mise Clark as for the witty Songs and lively steps included in the repertoire. ‘The act of Rector, & Sul- llvan had aspects of novelty. The bill hada further Interest in the acrobatte work of the Watts brothers. whose pantomime work was above the ordi- nary. Johnny Woods, the ventrilo- quist, with the assistance of little Henry, kang some songs indicative of conviviallty; they also. rendered sev~ eral solos with chorus accompaniments, showing fine training in his line, which was acceptably. received.
