WASHINGTON, D. C. July 28.—Better
Babies Build the Body that found expression
in the Second Annual Hygienic Con-
test and Prize Baby Health Contest
at Wednesday at Green Willow Park,
Amorita. Six hundred contestants between
the ages of three months and
four years were registered. More than
2,000 persons were on the ground
grounds the day and evening.
Gold medals were awarded the following for scoring the highest number points in health rating: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D; and Class C, Ellsworth Johnson. Second prizes of silver medals were awarded to Everett Cooper, Class A; Class B; and Class C; and the entire force of the Washington offices of the National Benefit Association was on hand to make the occasion a success and profitable one for all concern.
Assistant Superintendent Bruce Reported Hl
Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Skelling Bruce, of the public schools, was brought home from the summer resorts after a day, and it is currently reported that that is dangerously ill. The immediate concern is this latest attack is not available to grow out of the injuries that are reported, stated that there are symptoms of serious derangement, involving the supposed to grow out of the injuries that are reported, stated that there are symptoms in the road between Washington and Baltimore. Particulars will be given later.
I was such that the
President and the Negro race were spared the humiliation and chagrin of the press, and the tendencing such an inadequate display of our progress in fifty years of freedom. We have made important investments in the arts, sciences, the industries, invention, agriculture, manufactures, literature, and one thousand and one hundred and one million of civilization, was scarcely scratched. The rest of the inglorious story will be told. The news of the fasco reaches the ears of the masses. The complaints of the press, the mains, of the frost" be loud and deep. Congress will probably want to know where its appropriation went. The people will be told. Before they ceedings carried on in their name, but in which they had no hand. Before they were going to be judged if somebody is going to "get jammed." The few colored papers which had been written warning note may felicitate themselves that they did their "plain duty." The failure, all things considered, is the failure of the Negro charge it up against the Negro race.
The News in a Nut-Shell.
Word comes from many sources that the candidacy of Grand Exalted Ruler King Nutter for re-election as the Chieftain of the country takes the country by the ears. Throughout New England, the Middle Atlantic region is unbound enthusiasm over the fact that he has consented to accept another term. It looks now as if no other name has been elected to the Chicago convention, opening the last window August. Along with Counselor Nutter will go Mr. George E. Bates, who will be the next president on a silver platter. The Elks have enjoyed a season of prosperity during the painstaking and progressive adoration of Grand Exalted Ruler Nutter.
Mr. A. Fitzhallan Wallace is now the associated editor and business manager of the Washington Sun.
Mrs. R. M. Cheeks, widow of the late editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, a member of the faculty at the Dustrial Institute at Tallahassee, Fla. is spending the summer here. She is moving temporarily as matron of the Association Home, Fifth and T streets, during the absence of the regular official.
Washington may not be the greatest commercial center of the race, but it is the most important city in the other cities of the country in the matter of receiving Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, in the plan of having Prof. Moore address one formal meeting of the local minister of the larger churches in the general inspection of the business places of the town and to follow all the rules of the local minister at a regular session of the local Ministerial Alliance. Prof. Moore has pursued in Philadelphia, Harris-Franklin, a full-fledged policy that made for such excellent results here. The fruits of Prof. Moore's labor will be apparent in the National Negro Business League at Boston, August 15, 19 and 20.
No signs of the coming of Col. A. D. Griffin, who has been reported to be on his way here from Kansas, to press his claims for the office of Reverend Joseph Hopkins, up to the time this letter is placed in the mails, "all is quiet on the Potomac."
The Department of Justice has filed in the Supreme Court a brief on behalf of Former Internal Revenue Collector Robert Hopkins in case the corporation may be deducted to an amount beyond the face value of its paid-in capital stock in arriving at the court. The corporation may pay tax under the corporation tax act of August 5, 1909. The company claims credit for deductions for interest and other taxes. The Department insists that the amount of the corporation tax be the amount of the capital stock of the corporation claiming the credit. The company in question has a total capital stock of six shares of a par value of $100.
Dr. A. M. Curtis and family start on their motor trip to Chicago on the 14th of August. The Curtis party of Dr. A. M. Curtis and his wife, Haitian leader, headed by Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J., and all will travel together to the Windy City, where they will attend the session of the National Medical Association.
Mr. Andrew J. Payne, of the office of the Supervising Architect, Treasury Department, of the very ablest clerks in this branch of the Federal Servi- tory, will be charged $1,200, $1,400 per annum to the effect June 16. Last year Mr. Payne was raised $1,000, $1,200, $1,400, and entered the Treasury Department fourteen years ago in an humble capacity, and has risen steadily year by year. He has been a dedicated and hard-working. No man in the department has more friends than Mr. Payne and all reloice sincerely over the good fortune that has come to their deserving co-worker.

HAITIEN PRESIDENT
FLEES FROM REBELS
Guillaume Seeks Refuge in French Legation, After Making Stubborn Resistance—Palace Set on Fire.
PORT AU PRINCE, July 27. The revolutionary movement against President Bidault, led by the leadership of Dr. Rosalvo Bobo last March, showed itself in Port au Prince today. After several hours of fighting at the presidential palace, where Guillaume made a courageous defense against the French forces, the French legation, whither
he had been preceded by the members of his family.
The palace was on fire before Guillaume decided to seek refuge under the flag of France.
The Governor Surenders.
Rebellion against the government attacked the palace at 4 o'clock and continued firing on it for two hours. The president was supported by a few loyal troops and the members of his army, who were besieged by the port of Port au Prince, continued his resistance at the palace even after Guillaume had left. He finally made a comeback and seized refuge in the Dominican legion.
Included among the victims of this attack on the presidential residence in Washington, D.C., was Prince. There were many casualties.
**Revolutionists Hold City.**
At 10:30 the rifle firing was about over and officials and citizens began to evacuate the city in order to protect property. By noon the city was in the possession of the revolutionists. The movement was started by a regiment banded by President Guillaume. The soldiers resented this treatment.
Fears were expressed this afternoon of the attack on the city, as factions in Haiti who are striving to obtain control of the government.
**Series of Persecutions.**
There has been a reign of terror in Port-au-Prince since July 17, President Guillaume, doubtless realizing that his fall was only a question of a few days, started on a secession. He began causing the arrest of all Haitians of any wealth or position, the infliction of age or sex, and expelling all those who recognized the fact that the spirit of revolution was growing in the country, marching on the capital.
Haitien women have been arrested in the streets and taken away to prison. Taldy, was treated in this arbitrary manner. The prisons of the city are full and the conditions in them are difficult.
Prisoners die daily as a result of hunger and the unsanitary conditions in which they are compelled to live. The foreign legations hold many reguages.

Bishop Walters Back
Bishop Alexander Walters, one of the greatest men in this nation, arrived at the church from one of the most extensive tours that the churchman has ever had. The churchman has figured largely in the many activities that have met his attention. When seen at his home last week the churchman has been invited to visit. Since being away from home he has attended the meeting of Methodist of Christian Endowments at Chicago, where he figured in a large and telling way, which has made the churchman a prominent figure in the world, and has also looked after many engagements in Birmingham, Ala., and Chicago. Ind, the churchman told your correspondent of his visit to the office of the Indianapolis Freeman and expressive staff he found at the Freeman. He said Editor Knox is the model of a person who appears great and a power to make his visit pleasant. The bishop was highly pleased at the ediition of his appearances last week to himself and his activities on behalf of the race. He said that he felt that such an editorial work would make himself a great for the cause. The bishop congratulated your correspondent on being identified with such an influential organ section for the next few days, and will then leave for St. Louis, Mo., where he will be connected. The bishop is a truly great man and is doubtless one of the most picturesque figures in the nation to

Illinois sets a fine pace for other states of the Union in appropriating $400,000 in federal armory in Chicago for the colored regiment of the commonwealth. No money is wasted when spent for the benefit of the "boys in blue." Rev. A. A. Crooke, pastor of the Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, has been appointed the ring for Bishop to Africa and the foreign fields of the Zion connection, subject to the General Conference which meets next May at Louisville, Ky.
The country is not overlooking the pleasing fact that J. C. Napier, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Judson W. Lyons, John C. Dancy and Henry P. Cheatham, the oft-repeated assertion that colored men who have ever drawn $4,000 per annum at the hands of the government got out of office.
The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is assisting in a most practical fashion to solve the need for a new university in southern states by providing the means for capitalizing thrift, economy and self-helpfulness. It takes care of the sick, buries the dead, opens an avenue for employment while the worker is living and gives employment to a hundred or more progressive men and women. The Negro organization of the black organizations of this kind his liberal and constant support.
We acknowledge with thanks the receipt from the cultured Prof. Richard Theodore Greener a neat set of cards bearing Prof. Freener's resonant poem "Christian mule and his notable truman of prison and his grand "Charturette" by the famous French poet Ducius, drawn out by an ingeniousness the race's eminent scholar of the 1898 and the ancient capital of Japan. Both poems are of rare literary merit and impress the lotty altruism and intellectual grandeur of the 1898 and forth. A handsome photo of Prof. Greener—a "speaking likeness," as it were—is also gratefully acknowledged, with welcome additions to the treasures we have been collecting for many years.
The mob that placed in jeopardy the life of Governor Slaton, of Georgia, serves as a horrible example of the power of the mob. The mob may be carried, unless drastic steps are taken to stamp out the practice, regardless of the offense of which any client bears. If a client bears the oldtime utterance of the Wizard of Tuskegee that "if a black man can be put to death by a white man, he will suffer the same fate." If a Governor of a state is a mob mob, a client one is safe. It is certain that Georgia will see to it that the South's banner commonwealth is governed by law and not by a mob. Anarchy does it get in the saddle.
Emmett J. Scott, who is equally at home with tongue or pen, paid a glowing tribute to the Mosaic Templars at the recent conclave of that fine frater-her organization in Birmingham, Ala. He organized other meetings with Mosaic Templars stood for creative efficiency, honesty and uprightness, and that any organization founded and conducted on such basic principles was worthy of recognition. Scott said: "The Mosaic Templars should reach out into every state and get selective people, not in prominence standing, but in localized common, ordinary people, and as leaders, we must always see to it that they have confidence in us." Well put, Mr. Attiotti, best man of the Tuskegee Wizard's righthand main practices all he preaches.
The colored people of Arkansas are planning to hold a state fair next October, when exhibits from the schools, the community, and the houses are to be shown. Dr. Booker Z. Washington is to be invited to make the opening address. Not Springs has been selected as the place for the fair because of its location, touring the state to stir up interest and gather in the exhibits. The people of Arkansas never do things by halves, but they do things by certainities, stately churches, well-patronized business establishments, big enterprises and solid professional men and women. The royal reception tent at Little Rock's League at Little Rock in 1911 gave many outsiders a chance to see the state and to test the caliber of the folks who "do things" down that way.
If the so-called "jitney" bus is to hold itself above the law, then the "jitney" must be made to go. In event of a crash, the transportation has secured a foothold, steps should be taken by the colored citizens to force it under the control of the law, and Commission them to the end that it may abridged on the same basis as the street car and taxicab service. As a common carrier, the power of the jitney to draw citizens is limited, and abridged, if not wholly destroyed. The sympathy of the colored citizens is with the street car companies, which are being injured by the quasi-outlaw drivers. If the law is ever possible, the Negroes will make common cause with the traction lines in opposition to the discriminating jitneys. The colored citizens of Chattanooga will start in the movement to make the "jitts" come clean or go out of business.

JUST A FEW DOTS—THAT’S ALL.
Some Observations That Means My
Life or Death in the Connectional
Life of the Church.
(By J. G. Robinson, D. D.)
Of late much has been said respect-
ing candidates. for the Bishopric, and
for positions as general officers. ‘I am
of the opinion that while I have done
much of that myself, that the connec-
tion needs to be enlightened along eco-
nomic lines—we need the spirit of
progress and retrenchment applied to
our connection, and to that end, the
delegates to the forthcoming general
conference should begin to form their
conclusions.
Here we are looking backward upon
one hundred years of toll and acquisi-
tion as a denomination. Here we are
with our several departments devel-
‘Oped, and taxing the energies of the
membership to keep them going. Here
‘we are with twenty or more universi~
Hes, colleges and schools standing as
beacon lights to guide the feet of the
Face to paths of prosperity and culture.
‘With “all of the above, we have not
caught the true spirit of our Missions
thorough enough to forget our selfish-
ness, and provide properly for those
who lay down by the wayside after
Years of toil, and find themselves in
poverty and want. |
I declare to the church I am writing
today free from, passion, I am not
“grinding an ax," nor attempting to
besmear the record of any. individual.
Tam going to point out a few generai
blunders which have been committed,
as I see them, by the great connection,
not by any ‘one general officer, nor
Bishop, but by the church as a whole.
Since I am writing in that spirit, and
since much space has been given me
from time to time, I do hope the editors
‘will look upon the spirit in which I
4m writing, and let this article appear.
First, I want to speak of our book
of discipline. I pointed out some
time ago, in a series of articles a num-
her of inconsistencies in the discipline.
To show the popular mind of the
church, I recetved several hundred let-
ters from all quarters of the church
in this country, and six from across
the seas—all agreeing with me, that
our laws are 80 defective that a change,
great change in many of them, is
needed. But, we will never get any
change in our laws with the methods
We have pursued in legislation at. our
previous "general conferences. _ Some
man well versed in the art of law
making should on the first day of the
general conference set forth a plan
by which we may get some effective
legislation, Then’ when. the general
conference is over, or when the com-
mittee on compilation is appointed, we
ought to see to it, that some one is
‘Appointed who thinks the general con-
ference knows more than any one man,
and put a man chairman of that com-
mittee who will codify the laws as
made by the general conference.

MIN-RAL-COP
Sick Man, Sick Woman.
LISTEN, TO ME, Can you drink
water? ‘The mineral cup 1s nothing
more nor less than an artificial mineral
Spring in your home. Whatever is
your complaint or where located or
how long you have been a. sufferer,
‘The Min-Ral-Cop may relieve you of
your touble as it has thousands here
in Richmond and other places, and I
feel that your chances are equal to any-
body else, It is a pity that you can-
not attend one of ‘my public demon-
Strations and see the thousands flock-
ing to hear me explain what the cup
has done and Is doing now.
Every day letters are pouring in
dally telling me how rellet was so
quickly. found and people here don't
mind standing up before five thousand
and tell them how remarkably their
misery and pains left them.
Yesterday, I received a letter from
‘Mrs, Ella, Williams, 719 Norton street,
Richmond, Va., telling me how her
father had been down sick. How he
entirely lost his sight. She sent him
‘a Cup to Chester, 8. C, where he lived.
Ina few days he replied he was now
up again, gone to work and his sight
was restored.
Rev. 8. M. Watkins, 2417 Cresney St.,
Richmond, Va, says: “I am a super-
annuated ‘minister of the Virginia. An-
ual Conference. I suffered with my
Kidneys and bladder elght years. I
can say I got almost instant, relief af-
ter drinking from your cup.”
Mrs, Hannah Brown, 211 E. 1th St,
South Richmond, suffered, she said,
with a terrible misery in her side, back
and the lower part of her stomach for
18 years. 1 was operated on, but the
misery came back in double fold. I
really thought I was dying. There
was no rest for me day or night,
One night's drinking from the cup
made me a happy woman. ‘The second
drink I took, all pain left me and I
felt like a young convert in the morn-
ing.
‘Mr. Macon Robinson, 240 E. Old Do-
minion St, South Richmond, came
walking fast, climbed upon my demon-
stration platform and sald: "I come to
congratulate you on what your cup did
for my wife, who has had the rheu-
matism in her leg one year and when
she would lift it up she would holler
with pain. I carried her a cup last
night. Sho drank out of it. On my
Feturn from ‘work this afternoon, she
ikieked at me with that same limb. I
sald, ‘What is this you are doing now?’
I was never more surprised in my life,
She sald, ‘All my misery is gone.'”
Mr. Willie Rawlins, 2114 Bainbridge
St, said to me: “My mother had not
walked any in elght months, suffering
with her back, stomach and limbs. J
have tried many remedies, but nothing
Seomed to relieve her, 1 carried her a
cup four or five days ago. Now my
mother is up and can get out all right
and is walking around. I am letting
the world know what the cup Is doing,
for 1 believe it ‘would be equal to a
crime if the wonders the cup is doing
are Kept secret,”
I believe I havo recetved nearly a
hundred. thousand testimonials during
the eleven years since I invented the
cup.
Sick people, get busy. Today tt may
be inconvient for you to come and seo
me, but the cup will do you just as
much good as it will be only a question
of a few hours for you to receive one
by ‘parcel post, when you order by
mall, with ail Instructions.
‘Address all orders to R. J. STONE,
Sole Proprietor, $10 N. First Street,
Richmond, Va. ‘Single Cup by mall, 58
cents; 2 cups, $1.00... Don't send stamps.
Every individual should have his own
cup as it is not sanitary to allow others
to use your cup.

GEORGE L. KNOX,
PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR,
ELWOOD C. KNOX,
BUSINESS MANAGER.
SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1915.
Man is born of woman, and in a few days he is full of trouble. These words are very applicable to President Wilson, who has on his hands wars and rumors of wars.
When the farmers begin to get in over night with those long, well-filled wagons, better be getting the sauce pans and preserving kettles ready. Something doing, positively.
The sinking of the Eastland, at Chicago, caused the horror of the day. Not very many calamities have exceeded this one in this country. No one seems to know where the blame belongs. The general opinion seems to be that the boat was overburdened.
We can see no reason for trying to drive Negro lawyers from the bar, as was attempted by the legislature of Florida. We can see no reason for the further employment of white teachers in the colored schools of Georgia, especially when there's not a scintilla of reciprocal spirit.
Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the well-known minister and lecturer, is dangerously ill at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Cheering information, however, has come recently to his family and friends that his chances for recovery had improved. He is one of the foremost Negroes of the country.
The jitney busses are having trouble in Charleston, W. Va. They draw the line on the colored people, and they don't want to be declared common carriers and thus be compelled to file schedules of tariffs in accordance with the commission's rules governing such carriers. They are after them with a sharp stick.
Now is the very thick of summer. While the war has been raging in the East, causing heated brains and the consequent heated bodies, the weather, so far as this region is concerned, has been, as by design, very moderate, even cool, as if acting in accord with the law of compensation. This may be fiction, all right, but really we have been having sea-shore weather.
Editor Trotter doesn't seem to care much if the National Negro Business League is coming to Boston, his home town. He does not say so editorially, but he permits articles to appear in his publication which are uncharitable to Dr. Booker T. Washington and to the forthcoming meeting. It strikes us that Mr. Trotter could be of very much more service if he could manage to keep in touch with such movements, rather than have them derided through his publication.
Not one of us cares for segregation, especially enforced segregation. But at that we can not get away from the fact that we have accomplished very much owing to it—voluntary segregation. Segregation is only objectionable when made compulsory; not only segregation, but any other mandatory thing that is meant to bemean a people. The harm is not in segregation, for we have been segregated since the war, and were before the war. Legalizing the thing, making limiting lines, is what hurts.
Hayti is having its customary revolution this week. Some of these days when there is no longer a Haytien republic some chronicler expatiating on the political sins of great countries as they relate to smaller ones, will more than likely see a greater country doing that country a monstrous wrong. And in a sense this would be true if the island were gone (in). Yet we the islanders ought to know, that it is paving its way for an exit from among the nations as an independent body—making ready for its own funeral.
A bill was recently passed in the Georgia legislature prohibiting white teachers from being employed in Negro schools. This kind of legislation is bad in itself. It is bad because there can, according to the spirit of the general laws, be no laws regulating races, at least citizens. In view of racial relations such legislation is helpful to the white whom the white people persist in seeing only as civilized or white. It is helpful incidentally, but destructive in principle. Will Brother Roman demur?
In these war times politics is going to default. However, the country has to go on just the same. There is no minister to Liberia. The recordership of deeds post at Washington, D. C. is vacant. Hayti has lost its white ambassador. These positions are by right of custom. Negro "heirlooms." Alex E. King is king, of Indiana, is a fine aspirant for consideration. He is not urging himself; his friends are. He is being pushed for recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C. He is one of the best samples of Negro democracy in the country. We can't see how he can lose in view of the several vacancies.
It is to be hoped that the Leelanaw incident will not be construed as the last argument of kings. Germany and the United States, according to the notes between the two countries, are not very far apart on the questions be-
fore them. Even Great Britain insists that unusual conditions have entered this war, and that they could not be cared for wholly, by the existing laws or treaties. The Lansing notes, if they may be so called, ought to put German at ease as to a possible rupture with this country. The little differences are not vital, since protection of life and reparation for non-resistant vessels destroyed are insured. The Lusitania event is debatable.
THAT RICHMOND FAIR
The Star of Newport News, Va., of July 24, had this sad commentary on the Richmond Fair: "Today ends the existence of one of the greatest farces that has ever been inflicted upon the people of this section of the country. "Some time ago the Congress of the United States appropriated the sum of fifty-five thousand dollars to assist in celebrating the fifthth year of the Negro's freedom in this land, and that money was entrusted to Giles B. Jackson and some other men, whom we have never heard mentioned, for the consummation of the result named; but never in all our experience and observations have we seen a more miserable failure in projecting such an affair.
"Instead of enlisting the help of the Negro newspapers throughout the country in promoting this enterprise, Mr. Jackson essayed to advertise the affair by issuing a publication called the "Industrial Herald," which few people read, and fewer still remember anything in it which they read, and from the beginning to the end few people seemed to take sufficient interest in the Negro Industrial Exposition to even help it to make a decent headway."
We are sorry to know that the worst has happened to Mr. Jiles & Co. We are not sure that anything could have saved his show. We are sure, however, that he made no great difference. He is natural to think that he thought he would have success. He was supported by the government and his state. He saw no reason to be careful about how he dealt with the newspapers or any other helpful agencies.
Mr. Jackson's failure is also a race failure, since the affair was projected in the name of the race, standing for fifty years of progress since freedom. If we understand it correctly something like eighty thousand dollars was on hand, or at the command of the management. This sum would not have provided for specially constructed buildings, but it was great to be used in connection with the fair grounds or some hall or other structure which are to be found in that city.
Judging from what the Star says, the management was such that it did not invite confidence. Very early the newspapers grew suspicious, and accordingly put in a rap, but to no purpose. It had the dough, so what to did it care.
It happens so often that when things of the kind are to be done those that have the ordering seem to celight in selecting those to manage who are the least liable to make good. When such affairs are to be managed for white people, a record of successful past performances as long as the moral law is required. Success is practically insured in advance; not financially always, as expositions seldom pay in that respect, but for the purposes aimed at in the projection. If the Richmond, Va., exposition was an exposition, or reflection of our activities, we might as well give up, Happily, the reflection was not faithful.
THE REPLY TO GERMANY.
As it might have been expected, the reply of the United States to Germany's latest note was not any more liked in Germany than the replies of that country to the notes from this side. It means that the citizens of either country are rampant partisans, and especially the newspapers. Each country sees itself clearly in the right, if one may take the expressions of the newspapers as his guide. In our country there has been running through the comment a vien of cooksensure and bravado that is most unlike the American press in the most ordinary affairs, when there were no怕麻烦, with cautious expressions. We have been brutally plain and so unanimous in it that a sensitive nation would not fail to view it as a studied affront.
There have been the most serious happenings, true enough, and they have been dealt with cautiously by the state department, and in such way as to justify the better comment that followed, and what was considered endorsing the President. The press was particularly forte, especially after the last Wilson note, leading one to suspect that the note was full of war, when it was surprisingly peaceful in tone, demanding what was right and in the most part what Germany had already conceded.
In fact, there has never been much chance for our government to get back at the imperial government of Germany. The latter government promptly accounted for every act whether within or without the scope of international laws. Not that these accounts were all satisfactory; but when not so loopholes were left for arbitration or adjudication in competent courts. It has never at any time appeared to have the chip on its shoulder. The same may be said of the notes of our country, especially the last one. But how different was our press! The United States admitted that Germany has been conducting a consistent submarine warfare for the past two months, holding this a warranty for the future, but the note is a trifle rasping when asking Germany to come up according in all respects. That country and Great Britain both content that the war is unusuaif, and which will not be cared for wholly by existing laws.
We of this side may as well learn to see things a bit as they see them.
The Lusitania event is the only one that is difficult, and this owing to the opposing views as to character of cargo, failure to warn, or insufficient time given for saving the lives of the passengers. A competent court of inquiry and arbitration is the only way out of the dilemma.
While the United States's note is rigid in standing up for the rights of its vessels at sea, there is no reason to become indignant or bellicose, because Germany has conceded essentially everything demanded. It is up to us to refuse the proffered conduct of safety for United States boats; it is no part of the mix-up, and yet the thing in the press has been scorned in the sense that that country would even think of chaperoning us, when the offer was made, and we think, in good faith, owing to the circumstance of war.
If one will be guided by surface in-

dications of the recent notes there's no reason for a bit of acrimonious discussion. We can not see why the German press should rail at Mr. Wilson's note, or why the United States press should present such an array of bristling pikes.

NOTES OF THE A. B. C.'S.
By "Young" Knox.
O you Dismukes!
Gordon is playing some wonderful games out there in right field these days.
Charleston took up the pitching in Monday's game and stopped the slugging Stars.
Dismukes was sent to cover the first inning in Wednesday's game, but "Dizzy" kept on smiling.
Kennard, formerly of West Baden Sprudels, joined the A's Wednesday and started to pitch the game.
DeMoss played a wonderful game Sunday, and it was by his daring base running that the A's won the game.
Dismukes went on another scouting trip Tuesday. Wonder what they are fixing to pull off. Something good, I know.
Santop is certainly some hitter. That ball he lifted over the fence in Tuesday's game was high and wide of the fence.
In all that game Sunday, Shively was unable to reach first base. The "pride of Bloomington" struck out three times.
Ben Taylor made several one-hand stabs Tuesday, and had either of them got away from him, it would have made Clark in all playing his imitable game at short. Fuggy Hutchison was out in uniform Monday, but did not get into action.
There were four home runs made in Monday's game. Pierce, Petus, Allen were the lucky ones to pond the ball.
After being wrinkled in the first inning Monday, Dicta Johnson made his comeback on Tuesday and held the Stars to four hits.
Allen's fielding Tuesday was very sensational, and then Todd broke up the game with the ninth with a ripping left foot.
Time, Tuesday, place, Northwestern ball park; ninth inning, two men out. Powell doubles, Alley doubles, Biff Boom! Bang! Curtain.
Lloyd is still playing his wonderful game at short, although he did make two errors Tuesday, and thereby lost the game for his boys.
Kindle, the youngest member of the team out, plays with the West Baden Spruce, guarding the keystone sack for Lloyd.
After winning nineteen straight games, Redding came all the way from Cincinnati to Philadelphia to down for his second defeat of the season.
I wonder what made Tale Ruble "sad when he heard that our boys defended the Lincoln Stars, because "Ruby" said that there was no way for the A's to beat them.
Nevertheless, the rain snooded the Lincoln's chances, and the fans were given a chance to catch plety of "lottery" tickets, announcing the double header Thursday.
"Judy" Gans is still guarding the sunfield for the Lincoln Stars, and he is still clouting the ball hard, too. So a ball is hit to left field, you can hear the fans exclaim, "It's in the well now."
Pierce, the big "slapper" of the tars, left the team Tuesday night, and went to Cincinnati, the home of his team, where it seen for some time. He was back in time for Thursday's game, however.

Monday's Game.
Monday was ladies' day, a fine crowd was present to see Foster crush the Cuban Stars in their second game of the season and the tall, handsome chap was in fine form. His stunning looking wife sat in the box and her encouragement made the southpaw living home the best of them. The bans fielded poorer than at any time they have been seen in this city. Paddy called a ball fair that came across third base and afterwards threw two straight balls over the grand stand. The diamond and send him to the dressing room and Pedroso finished the game.

AMERICAN GIANTS AND CUBAN STARS IN SECOND SERIES.
Cuban Stars Take First Game and American Giants Second—Third Game at the Teams to Play the Remainder of the Games Attend Game in Large Numbers
By Cary B. Lewis.
CHICAGO, IL., July 28.—"Rube" Foster has imported a new pitcher, the 23-year-old Joe Jones, and he has a new catcher, Jones. Both are young and full of ginger and know the game. They were entered in the Cubs' Stars on last Sunday and there was an overflow crowd to see the game. Jones was the second to the seventh inning, the score being 1 to 0. In the eighth, a squeeze chuck by "Rube" allowed both of the Cubans to score. It was a pitcher's battle, Juno doing some fine work at home, and the Cubans doing good work with the stick, made a two-bagger. It was an interesting game. The home fans were disappointed with the score of 3 to 1 in favor of the Islanders.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co.
5
The following was heard in a colored theater. "Hear that bugle? That is a call to arms; follow the flag and be ready to fight, bleed and die for your country." Comedian—Whose country? Straight—Why, your country! My country—Indian. Hast ever stopped to consider that we suns aren't got no country? (Loud applause.) The colored people in other colored theaters and they are always loudly applauded. The colored people in other colored theaters are triumphant, but slowly and surely the feeling of love for one country's is being felt in 10,000,000 American citizens.
Colored men have fought and died for this country ever since the days of Salem. It is a historical fact that this union might not have been maintained without the valuable assistance of the American Army, which has marked to another by G.—if they would turn the "nigger" soldiers loose they would clean up for Mexico in three weeks, because of the confidence in the colored soldier, yet race prejudice, like an infectious virus, has found its way into the army and has suited it and humiliated by the very country they have sworn to protect. Thirty-four men have been lynched and killed the last six months. Negroes, American citizens! Yes this country dares the role of protector of human rights in holy horror when the Turkish infidel massacres Armenian Christians, but fails to take notice of the fact that American soldiers are lynching Christians.
The unholy and pernicious system of discrimination, segregation and disfranchisement, practiced by the whites of this country, is forcing the conclusion upon the colored people that they have no rights which these white men must accept, therefore they willingly applaud the comedian when he facetiously remarks: "We 'uns ain't got no country."
The colored theater is a permanent institution. It has been forced upon us. Most of the white theaters openly refuse to be the best class of colored people. Other white theaters, where the law permits, refuse entrance to colored people. The white theaters have a desire for colored patronage. Since the colored theater is to be a permanent institution, it should be conducted for the entertainment and education of the present time this is not the case. The colored theaters as a whole are attended by only a small portion of the white theaters, refined and intellectual colored people would rather suffer the humiliation of segregation in a first-class white theater than to organize the colored theaters.
THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON.
(By R. W. T.)
Washington, D. C. Special.
The Whitman Sisters are at the Paley Airdrome next week for a grup event. Next week for a tennis event, now at Dudley's, return for an indefinite season in stock.
Word comes that Miss Lottie Gee and Miss Lilian Brown have formed a "sister team" and will be seen here together soon. Miss Gee will be remembered, Efte King (the "Ginger Girls"), and Miss Brown has been prominent in the Smart Set of the Dudley days and later teamed with Frank B. Williams in combination seems to be a strong one.
Ed. Tolliver, the well-known comedian and vocalist with "The Smart Set," spent a day or so in the city, accompanied by Manager W. C. Walker, looking up tall for the presentation for the presentation of playlets and musical comedy at the New Strand Theater, Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Tolliver will rejoil Miss Walker, the latter to do leading female parts with the company.
Miss Susie Sutton has been entertaining the Irvine C. Miller "Mr. Ragtime" and the Miami Dade College "539 Florida avenue. She has had a flattering offer to join the stock company now being formed for her husband, but was compelled to decline on account of pressing engagements in the West. She will be attending an annapolis and Chicago to follow. Miss Sutton has completely recovered her health.
At the conclusion of the present series of engagements, Miss Effie King "Miss Ethel Marshall" will spend the remainder of the summer with her mother in Cincinnati, Miss Ethel Marshall will spend Philadelphia, where her husband, Mr. Whitney, is putting the finishing touches on his new play for next season.
S. H. Dudley is to join the ranks of the "movie" stars' stage monsters he has been moving picture in two reels, entitled "The Porter," reflecting the joys and challenges of this very useful adjunct to the Pulman service. The scenes will be laid between Washington and Alexandria will have an abundance of local color.
Romeo L. Dougherty, formerly dramatic and sporting editor of the Washington Sun, the Amsterdam News, of New York, and the Times, expected in Washington shortly. Mr. Dougherty was called to his home at home on Monday, and he resumed work of his father, who died just before his arrival at her bedside. It is said that Mr. Dougherty has fallen heir to quite a surge in fame, to resume work in this country upon his return to "The States." . . .
Low Henry, the effervescent right-handed man, in Harley Valley, to take out a company at an early date, featuring high-class musical comedy and genuine melodies. He can write a drama, compose any kind of music, frame up every type of an act, book a sort of novel, compose a song, hang up all of the advertise-
ing board bills a practice. Such persons should be exposed by other members of the profession and their names should be disclosed to those whom owe and defraud.
Most theatrical boarding houses are run by women, who have no husbands and are motherly women, whose hearts beat warmly for the boys and girls who are in their place, and place missing so many of the home comforts. They are quick to respond to a call of distress; always ready to help. Their story will often induce them to share some of the little sum they have worked so hard to lay away for a while.
The Peewees are making good in the Northwest. They are a feature act with the show, and the papers everywhere are in terms of their high-class performance.
Gardner and Graham really opened the bill at the Standard theater last week. Their work was first-class in every particular. Miss Graham sang very sweetly and Sam is unbeatable and man delineator and eccentric dancer.
---
Rector and Jones, in a sister act, sang and danced themselves into favor with the audiences. They also wore some very stunning gowns. J. Cooper, ventriloquist, fully displayed his superior ability in this difficult art form, and the scene he portrayed at bartender bar. He uses three figures—an old man, who is sitting in a barber chair for a haircut, a boy the cub about the shop, and a young girl the girl about the shop. Mr. Cooper carries on an easy and natural conversation between the three, making the change of voice. In this scene, Mr. Cooper also gives an imitation of a telephone conversation that elicits much aplause. Mr. Cooper's ability places him in the front rank of ventriloquists.
Gee and Brown presented a meritorious singing and dancing act. Both were unusual, and the songs were well selected and excellently rendered. Miss Gee dances skillfully and with ease and grace. Miss Brown was leading soloist with the singer and Walker and Smart Set shows.
The Millar Family, musicians, consisting of father, mother, three sons and a daughter, lightful music upon many different kinds of instruments. Mr. Millar is a thorough musician and the others are the family's musical knowledge to his teaching. The youngest Millar bids fair to become a great concert pianist, his teaching dances artistically. The "Pilgrims' Chorus," from Thanhouser, and the sextet from "Lucia" were among the selections played.
Mule and Jeanette Bradford closed the bill and left the audience in an unpleasant laugh, and the "Mule," with his original songs and monologue and eJanette with her fascinating ginger dancing, were delightful features of a really entertaining fit.
ments, keep the furnace or fans going, paint the scenery to take at the door, paint the scenery to take at few other things during his spare time.
The Irvin C. Miller Company, though getting off to a bad start at the Howard Monday night of last week through the end of the week, from Tuesday night on and gave one of the speediest exhibitions of musical comedy Washington has seen outside the box. Howard shows, the artists are clever and can show, with the best of them, "Doe Doe Green" (Tom Overton) is a born comedian and can always "pull a laugh" when he shows a closing number, introducing the entire company in "The St. Louis Blues," after the style of Leubries Hill's "At the hall," took the house by storm. The Miller Company held over for this week and will appear in a new melange of melody and fun.
There is general rejoicing here, where she numbers her friends only by name, and then some—over the news that Miss Abbie Mitchell, the favorite prima donna, is not to retire from the vadeville arena. She is finding a successful career in New York, by popular request and has consented to respond to a number of special calls from the representative theatrical company. Whatever field Miss Mitchell is it pleases labor, she has the best wishes of the host of friends she has won in every section of the land. Miss Mitchell is the genuine artists of the stage, and is equally at home in music or in the drama.
THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.
SEYMOUR JONES WRITES FROM THE DIXIE SERENADERS' MINSTRELS AT MONT-ROSE, COLO.
NEW YORK.
Smart Set Company Getting Ready
For Set Company Martin
Free in Charge
The Smart Set Company, with Salem Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt, will inaugurate its seventh season early this fall with the energetic and amia-lic spirit of the company. Mr. Freed it will be remembered has been in sole charge of this magnificent company since its inception, and it is solely to his courage and foresight that the way was paved for the safe conduct of the Negro companies in the South.
The unique dances of the company in the past have been suggested by the company as responsible for the plunge of the aggregation in its various profitable tours of the country. The Smart Set has been one of the most popular tours on the road, the past season proving this matter, as out of hundreds of companies stranding, this company wound up its seating capacity, fixing the fact that the "man in front" is responsible for the welfare of his company. Mr. Fre, it will be remembered, who faced the lynch in Cordelle, Georgia, during the lynching there, demanding protection for his people. He was killed in Chuero and in Rogers, Texas, between his company and trouble. It was Mr. Fre also who on the stage in Clarksville of this state demanded that the company honor to this manager and this company, and a pleasant, long and prosperous season to the loyal and talented company.
Colored people have been for their loyalty and friendship to those who have been their associates. To Mr. Free, Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney, the poet and moral adviser of his race, he has given him the Tutt, be given what is their due. The company will be equipped by its producer with new costumes, scenery and everything necessary for a first-class production. Note the advertisement in plaques.

While in Richmond, I had the opportunity to witness the best show under canvas I ever saw, in Toliver's Smart Set. Now I do not approve my dress for the "Smart Set," for we all know who made the name "Smart Set" famous. After my retirement and in fact even while I was playing in the band, I would put out a No. 2 show. We did so and secured Salem T. Whitney to star the same. It was I who engaged Mr. Whitney and his entire band in the show and Iwell. We organized the show and it was known as the "Southern Smart Set," and after my retirement, it was and is today, the only "Smart Set" I ever saw. I would change the name of his show, it would be a wise move and show brotherly love from a managerial standpoint, and at the same time get him just as much money, for he has got a great show, and I will be able to all, they all appear as ladies and gentlemen. It is really a happy and dressy bunch. If more of our colored band members appear, it would be helpful. It would be helpful to elevate the

STAGEOSCOPE.
(By U. Tellit.)
A Very-Quickly-Gotten-Together
Show solves the hard-time problem for Rivierview (Ofay) Park of Louisville, Kentucky. Pleasant offays were rather pleasantly entertained at the only amusement park in Louisville that had a large, professional steward point. No, no, dear reader, this did not happen a month ago, but last Sabbath evening was the time for performances, images, audience, orchestra and even waiters seemed to be in their seventh heaven of bliss. The workker from classic ensembles to cake-walking, the latter was received with hearty applause, multiplied by screaming invitations for fare. Davenport and Bass sang and danced until the cows came home, but there was no message about that clever team's doing that. Bailey and Bailey had ever so much to do with making things merry. They were a fun for their money while Lille Coffer rendered "At the Ball, That's All," with the assistance of the entire company, the ones that were to be heard from. But William Buckner, who has songs like the Germans have soldiers, picked up the Miss Coffer stopped and went the limit.
Julia Jones, the neat and up-to-date soubrette, responded to encounters until she missed Miss Jones also gave U. Tellit a few dancing lessons. Miss Jones Clark did their regular act to a queen's taste; and I must add that it is a hard task to find performers, white or colored, who can play well in a dancing interest from start to finish. There is no ducking the fact that Miles and Miles are hot. Miss Jones is a versatile straight man. On the stage he can appear either as a dignified gentleman or a language—got em' his abilities as a producer stands out. Mrs. Anderson, wife of the well-known summer vacation, therefore I was engaged to assist Mr. Anderson in his big novel act. The act that the act screened them, for it is well known that Jim is the champion tambourine whipper of the world and the only colored man that do an act with a jitney whistle. Davenport, Bass and Ray Miles received "grams to go to Atlanta and New York."
I had the pleasure of peeping at the "i-ma-ma-ma" in the back of the room. I that I saw the boys' pocket-books should grow fat in a little while—even if they were not in a coffee office to twenty-dollar jitneys for steaks.
