If the plans of President Daniel Freeze are approved, the Board of the National Negro Business League get through as now seems likely, Washington will probably ask the privilege of being host for the 1816 meeting of the Board. It is understood that a formal invitation will be extended to the National League by the Commissioners of the National League, the Trustee, the Chamber of Commerce, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, representatives of the National League, the Fritzman and civic bodies, the entire list covering every phase of the official, business, religious, educational and civic institutions capital. Washington is the "show place" of the country and for years there has been no plans that follow the Business League to have a chance to meet with the organization in this concurrency. The President of the United States, the Supreme Court, Cabinet, Congress and the diplomatic corps have their habitat, together with the eminent members of the Negro race. It is argued that a city where business officers grow like unto the leaves of Valambrosa and where the colored people draw more money per annum from the government there is a business opportunity to be, and that the presence of an army of thrifty and prosperous colored business men from other sections stimulate and awaken the masses and the classes that great permanent good will flow out of their visit. The commissioner will invite the invitation to the League and will leave no stone unturned to have a good-handled welcome. Washington knows how to put forth the right people to be the guest of the nation's capital.

The Temple of Texas and the people are well pleased and are praising them for their skillful work, gentlemanly touch, when off duty. The dragnet for all kinds of vags have been playing a leading part, but they have been vagged and kept vagged for years. We await a hearing from our colored censor board, and we supposed to deal a blow to some of the various evils of the race that is leading the young members of the race astray day and night almost to the grave injustice that is being done to the race as a whole by those of the vags. The grave injustice it should be stopped. It can be stopped. When will it be stopped and by whom is the burning question. It calls attention to teachers who have no regard for the will of the common people and Texas can be used against any indecent action of their part and it will pay some of them here and elsewhere to the vags, who are called off when they become too important just like any one else. The crime wave has been of various kinds and our lives have been vagged allots of time in the various courts of late. Mrs. Mattie Anderson is visiting in Belton Texas, for a few days' rest.

(By Othello J. Hutchinson.) Upon the requests that come daily, Mr. Henry Boyd spent last week in Chicago, where he delivered a series of lectures on From Line Sunday schools. Mr. Boyd is a very brainy young man and bids fair to the most influential leaders of the race. Dr. J. H. Holman, of Meharry, is doctor of medicine and pathologist, Chicago University. Rev. C. W. Kelly, of Columbia, Tenn., preached an excellent sermon on last Sunday at the First Baptist church of Nashville. Complimentary to Miss Izora Flemming, one of Nashville's most charming young ladies, Mr. T. C. Shelton entertained a number of young people on Sunday.

Nashville was shocked Sunday, July 27, by the mysterious death of Irene Seymour, a 59-year-old woman in east avenue. From accounts given she was summoned to a E. J. Seymour's room, a traveling salesman from Chicago. Later she was found in the alley of the house where she was murderously assaulted or beaten before being thrown from the window. Thereupon Seymour was arrested, working a coffee bartle, the colored woman while attempting to board the train. Before the coroner's jury he refused to answer any questions regarding a bette batte. Thereupon Seymour was placed under a $2,500 bond, which was soon procured by some of his friends. Too much praise can not be given to her, the barrister, who donated his services gratis to see that legal inquiry should be given the case in question. On last Friday, the Negro Board of Trade one hundred men from all vocations of life meet and laid upon the table or pledged themselves the amount of over of honor he buryed for the defense of this martyr of Negro womanhood, Irene Hawkins.

An Ideal Citizen—Of Fine Musica Taste—Cleveland, Ohio, His Home —Lived in Indianapolis at One Time. The editor of the Gazette never had a brother, but if it is possible for one not closely led, he did. He was the first brother in everything else, then that is the relation that existed between Ernest and his brother, and that is the early days of their youth until his unexpected death on Thursday afternoon of last week after an illness of but a week, when he was most involved with men we sang, played and worked together in this city. For more than a decade (until other employment opportunities were available) ournest Ostrub had entire charge of the local department of this paper and rendered yeoman service freely and without regard to his own life, when it was most needed—in the early days of its publication. This interest in The Gazette never for a reason, nor did it interfere with interning years as he changed his place of residence from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, to Lawrenceville, Va., to Dayton, Ohio, and always "Erny" and "Harry," with us, and all that that brotherly familiarity of address would signify to the tenure of loyalty itself, genial, gentle, pure and of clean-mind—a Christian gentleman, the most moral man" (al his life) and he was known. As Dr. John E. Hunter of Lexington, Ky., who knew him from boyhood days, wrote us a man for a year as a home teacher, and as in every preceding one, when he came north to visit among his relaunts, he wrote us, whose en route, from each stopping place—from Raleigh, Lexington, Cincinnati, Springfield, saying he would be with us on "Tuesday," the following day, "sometime." He was delayed in that city, leaving him to live in Cleveland, where he lived, living in Cleveland, Wednesday morning, so ill that he took to his bed, never to rise again, in health, and died, the only brother we ever had and feel it deeply, and shall continue to do so for many, very many years to come. He would be difficult to depart, but the purest gems and a positive yet modest factor, in the uplift effort, which would be difficult to depart, but the reward he is receiving, of this we are positive. An aching heart beats in sympathy with those of the relatives in early days of their youth.—From the Cleveland Gazette. MOUND CITY, ILL.

This crime and the one at Joliet have been a dreadful blow to the "honor system" now inogue and curse. The police say they were better at such men were kept behind the bars, as such base crimes work a hardship upon the industrious, honest and law-abiding men, feeling between the races.

MIN-RAL-COP 1 LISTEN TO ME. Can you drink water? The mineral cup is nothing more nor less than an artificial mineral spring in your home. Whatever is compatible with your health, how long you have been a sufferer, the Min-Ral-Cop may relieve you of your touble as it has thousands here and you may have other places, and feel that your chances of a healthy body else. It is a pity that you cannot attend one of my public demonstrations and see the thousands flocking to me explain what the cup has done to you. Every day letters are pouring in daily telling me how relief was so quickly found and people here don't understand what the cup has done to you and tell them how remarkably their misery and pains left them. Yesterday, I received a letter from Ella Williams, 119 Norton street, Richmond, Va. with ill health, the father had been down sick. How he entirely lost his sight. She sent him a cup to Chester, S. C., where he lived. In a few days he replied he was now able to work and his sight was restored. Rev. S. W. Mattkins, 2417 Cresnsey St. Richmond, Va., says: "I am a super-annuated minister of the Virginia Amateur Athletic Association, kidneys and bladder eight years. I can say I got almost instant relief after drinking from your cup." Mrs. Hannah Brown, 211 E. 14th St. South Richmond, suffered she said, with pain for eight years. "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 morning." Mr. Macon Robinson, 240 E. Old Damon St. South Richmond, came walking fast, climbed upon my demonstration platform and asked, "come to me when you want your wife, who has had the rheumatism in her leg one year and when she would lift it up she would holler. She dragged me doing now. She dragged out of it. On my return from work this afternoon, she kicked at me with that same limb. I was never more surprise doing now. She said, "All my misery is gone." Mr. Willie Rawlins, 2114 Bainbridge St, said to me: "My mother had not taken me back eight months, suffering with her back eight months, having had tried many remedies, but nothing seemed to relieve her. I carried her a cup four or five days ago. Now my mother is walking around, and is walking around. I am letting the world know what the cup is doing, for I believe it would be equal to a crime that the wonders the cup is doing is a crime. I believe I have received nearly a hundred thousand testimonials during the eleven years since I invented the cup. Sick people, get busy. Today it may be inconvenient for you to come and see me, but the cup will do you just as you did.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915. To Boston? To Columbus? Which? Perhaps both. It is possible. The politicians of Georgia are announcing themselves for candidates and virtually on their stand in the Frank case. It appears that those who were not in for hanging the prison need not apply. It is being said that the late Dr. M. B. C. Mason was mistreated while ill at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. It is a very strange report to come from such a great institution, and which has its reputation to preserve. It is said that the board of bishops will investigate the matter. It should do so in order to find out if "railroading" Negroes are on that institution's program. The many friends of Chas, H. Turpin, of St. Louis, Mo., will be pleased to learn that he has won his contest for constable. In the election nearly a year ago he was declared beaten by six votes. Mr. Turpin had reason to suspect that he was unfairly beaten and demanded a recount, the result of which showed him to have been elected. At the first counting enough Turpin votes, considered invalid, were thrown out to beat him. Mr. Turpin is the proprietor of the well known Booker Washington theatre, one of the most successful playhouses conducted by Negroes. The death of Ernest O. Orsburn, of Cleveland, O., will be noted elsewhere in this publication. Mr. Orsburn was one of the great baritone singers of the country. He did not travel, but wherever he happened to be located his voice was heard in the best musical gatherings. He was of high culture in all respects, and which he showed in all of his movements. He was a great singer, and he was identified with the best by way of society. His rich voice and fine presence will not early permit him to be forgotten. The older members of the congregation of Bethel church will remember Ernest O. Orsburn. We do need books that point out individual faults and racial faults with the view of bettering the individual and the race. But when a publication denounces the whole race in the way as no good, we can't see the purpose of such a volume. There is some good persons in every race, in every town. Lot and his wife were found Sodom and Gideon, and although else was bad. It would have been wrong to have destroyed them if they had kept the faith. It was said that nothing good could come out of Nazareth. Jesus Christ came out of it, and by these presents, his religion and morals we all know it. So much Jupiter Pluvius? We are having the tropics while we wait. Rain and sunshine insure great vegetation. In the jungles of South America the path cut through the vegetation with a knife in the morning grows together before the next morning. No fish story, believe me. Cabbage is already selling at twenty cents per barrel. Tomatoes are of abnormal size and it is not yet September when that succulent vegetable is at its best. Corn is rich and generous in grain. If it keeps on this way the grapes will have to be borne on sticks as those gathered of the promised land when scouts went a reconnoitering. Good year to be alive. A report comes from Leavenworth, Kansas that a colored woman, Alice Jackson, was sent to prison to serve from two to five years on a "white slave" charge, turned over to the war den bonds, certificates of deposit and other securities to the value of $25,000. The United States marshal, who brought her to prison, said she had $10,000 worth of diamonds at St. Paul, where she was convicted. Business woman, even if her business is not to be commanded. Perhaps she had an unrestricted chance in life she would have been heard of in some other field doing quite as well. It takes considerable ingenuity to accumulate so much as she did doing anything. Dr. M. A. Majors, of Chicago, is working with commendable zeal to make his department of the forthcoming Half Century Exposition, to be held at Chicago, a success. Perhaps the general management is quite as zealous. We have reason to know that the doctor is doing his part. He is looking out for the literary exhibits which includes books and all manner of publications by Negroes. He is making a thorough canvass of his field, refusing to take "no" for an answer to his solicitations. It is safe to say that the literary department will be one of the attractive spots of the exposition, and as it should be. A race is known best by its intellectual output. Dr. Majors has a thorough knowledge of the field, and knows the importance of making a fine showing. His effort to make a good display should be seconded throughout the country. 1 They say a very vile book, "America's Greatest Problem, the Negro," has just issued from the press. It is a vile villain, according to a review notice. The volume is by one Shufeldt, M. D. The object of the publication is to put the entire Negro race out of commission. He has a big job on hand. He says that the Negroes have no morals to correct. Does he know this by observation or participation, or both? Perhaps he did not stay on the job long enough to find all about it. It's a very wise man in these days that can know very much about any one else except himself. In fact, to keep straight one's self is about as much as one person can do, not speak of all the millions. If the individual is so base the jail house will catch him, so we don't need any self-appointed censorship. If the present jail houses are not sufficiently ample to care for refractory citizens money for more will be speedily appropriated. Can't see where the doctor gets in. The occupation of Hayti is having an immediate moral effect. It may prove lasting since this is the first time the United States has gone so far as intervening in the affairs of the island. It ought to teach a well needed lesson. Our government has announced that its intention is only to restore order, to rid the country of the disgraceful scenes that the western hemisphere lose some of its Kilkenny cast aspect. Mexico is in a turmoil; it is enough without Hayti casting in, contributing to the unrest of the world. However, the Haytians are merely following their chief occupation, killing presidents and having a country look on the happenings there with much concern, and indeed, some are inclined to criticise the government for interfering. Hayti is independent, all right, won it through war, as we won our own, and it would certainly be a great calamity if its heroic past must go to naught through strife due to ambitious men. No sense in having a revolution every six months. Something must be done to abate the nuisance, even if it be necessary to resort to heroic measures. SAVING ISAIAH T. MONTGOMERY Score one for the white people. One of our exchanges has this in a recent issue: "The Planters' Bank of Clarksdale, Miss., is acting as trustee and registrar for the bond subscription for the purpose of paying the encumbrances on the property of Isaiah T. Montgomery and his wife at Mound Bayou. This fund has been started by the white people of Mississippi and is in itself a deep appreciation of the distinguished and useful career of Mr. Montgomery." The Planters' Bank is pushing its subscription scheme and has issued a circular letter, of which the following is a part: "As a testimonial of appreciation of the services rendered the South and Nation, by Isaiah T. Montgomery, through which both the white and Negro races have been benefited; and in order to assist Montgomery and his wife to pay off the encumbrances (approximately) $28,000 on their land, the district of 789 acres farm land and 50 town lots, including saw mill and gin, valued at $77,000 at Mound Bayou, Mississippi, I hereby subscribe," and so forth. We are much pleased to know that the grand old man will have his broad acres spared to him—that he will be rescued from the wreck of the new "Deserted Village." Mr. Montgomery is known in Indianapolis. He has been a visitor to this office. He is one of the old school, quiet, unobtrusive, ultra respectable, and carefully considers the relationship of the races. He appreciates the white people, respects them for what they have done and are doing for the race. Without their assistance there would have been no Mound Bayou, in the beginning. Now at what seems to be its conclusion, they are still with him. Such love will offset a lot of other things that we charge up to the white people. To care for this grand old character is a feather in their cap. And as Eva Tanguy says to her audiences who so thoroughly appreciate her, "God bless you! God bless you." THE GEORGIA SCHOOL QUESTION Some of the greater schools of Georgia possibly may suffer because of the law which prohibits white teachers from teaching in colored schools. And yet in this far away day from the race's beginning there should be nothing lost on account of what has been mentioned as the result of the contact with white people, the inference being that our race profited by such contact. It would not be fair to say that the race did not profit by the superior wisdom, culture and manners of the white people, it was especially so, saying that to come under law, fact, the Negroes owe all of what they are in an intellectual way to the white people—the white teachers; they were the alpha. Some will say that they were not without pay for their services, insisting that this is a bread and butter world and that unless it is forthcoming there are no services rendered. And this is largely true; but there is such a thing as saacrifice in the world. The religious seed, wherever sown, has been with the spirit of self-denial. Not that it has always so. But very often, without doubt. Many of the earlier white teachers, fired by the spirit caught from Harriet Beecher Stowe and from the wave of purification which came over the country with the coming of Abraham Lincoln, left homes of plenty and went South to help in setting up a new born people. Among these were lily handed white girls, whose homes were scarceer less than religious sanctuaries, cloister in Christian sweetness and seren THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ity. They heard the call to the fields of the lowly and responded as the men of the North answered Mr. Lincoln. What they saw, what they did in righting the tangled skein of ignorance and poverty will be written. The white school teachers of that day followed the flag as they have more recently done in the Philippines, but with a different spirit. All of this will not be forgotten, at least, it should not be forgotten. But a change has come. Hard and fast race lines have been established, the unexpected. The more contact in the school room does not offset what the race endures in all other relations of life. Practically there is no contact in the churches, theaters, restaurants, hotels, salons, lodges and many stores and offices. This being the case in the situation of being killed or applaud in the sentiment tending to deploy the action of the Georgia Legislature. It is hollow mockery, thinking cymbals, sounding brass to deplore this when the contact that is worth while is as effectually shut up as the tombs of the Rameses. True enough the Legislature had in mind the meaner thing of keeping the races apart, but what does that matter? It is no different to the resolutions in force throughout this country. We regret the fact that white teachers are displaced in the schools, but merely from the standpoint of personal loss. Their presence in the Georgia school rooms do not in the least help in the matter of promoting the interest of the Negroes. Perhaps some may object to this homely truth; that our race gets more help from the white people by way of manners and morals in their menial capacity than from any contact in the schools, or from any other in the schools, his respect are ideals in name. There are a sort of superscription—written high up, but not justified by the subsequence, as it concerns our race in relation to the white people. Happily, we have the start; we have the books of the white people. From these we can model our lives and our own books. If we can not, then we are a failure, or hot house plants that need nursing eternally. If the Negroes are not now prepared to care for their schools—root and branch—they will never be. There is no disposition for an interchange of teachers. The white people have declared it so. Why not gladly take up the burden and make good. Let us help them to let us go, and let us know that way. When ever the Negro can get a job among his own kind he should think it an opportunity and not a calamity as some would have it concerning the late move in Georgia. The thing was not done out of love for us, but we win just the same. MILITARY TRAINING Those business men who are taking a course of military training in New York are a little late in going at it. But it is never too late to do good. One would not think the whole intent is to do personal good. They are also setting an example for the country and which it stands very much in need of in these times of unrest. We are given to peace in this country, and it may be that we will never be embroiled as the great countries of Europe are today. But we hold no brief to that effect, and since we do not, meaning that there's no certainty as to the future, the country is wise in keeping alive to what is taking place in the world generally. Of the six greater divisions of the earth five are now touched by war. South America, alone, escapes. As much as we prefer to be known as the nation of peace, and as we truly are, the matter is not wholly within our keeping. The Lusitania event showed very clearly that the very guardians of the peace, the newspapers, not to speak of their many readers, at heart, were ready for war. Our isolated situation, doubtless contributed something to our nerve, but at that, there was enough of the real spirit exhibited to make it plain that we are not likely to ever be completely exempt from war. The most peace loving natures among us can now see how easily it is to be invigored into trouble. Mexico is as independent as the United States, and ordinarily only a very few people of this country would think of taking a part in its troubles. The natures spread over years, menacing the peaceful boring nations, when the cries of its distressed people are heard over the turmoil of war, all due to discordant chiefs, who can not have their own way in strangling the country, then in the name of humanity and peace there should be arbitriment somewhere, in the parliament of nations. Some silly-headed individual has suggested the federation of the nations into one great people. He would have the laws from one source—one supreme head—one supreme parliament and the rest of it as we find it in this country. Vain and visionary? Yes. But Mexico and Hayt would profit immensely by such an arrangement. Those two countries are contributing their share towards the conversion of the avowed peace makers. Just as determined men suddenly become suffragettes through the prolonged agitation of the women, just so we find those who have stood stoutly for Mexico and Hayt as independent national units, suddenly converted to indifferent to the unworthy part they are playing in the country warlike. Everywhere there are evidences of making ready for what might happen due to what's taking place in those countries and abroad. The country is wise in breaking with the spirit of over-confidence, over-conservatism. Wise, because it is very clearly seen that war can come without being bidden. Belgium was as peaceful as a country churchyard, yet because it lay in the path of war it was wrecked by it. Perhaps there is no necessity for great military activity, but it is plain to see that ordinary precaution is due. It has already been said that we can not escape war. It is to be hoped that the prophet has got a guess coming. We are, however, by no means immune, nor are we the ones. The splendid preparedness of Germany is the efficiency of men that counts most. An army of 200,000 well trained men can easily beat a million rustics with "scythes and sickles." Germany can congratulate itself that, in spite of the unfavorable comment anent its "barbaric" rule of pressing young men into the military service, it has seen the military serviceableness of its men owing to the exacting regimen. The thought has nothing to do with who is to blame for the present war. All of the greater countries of Europe are of high military efficiency, and none the less so are the lesser ones in proportion. So Germany's preparedness is not necessarily a sign of provocation. The world which has long gone to Germany as a schoolteacher in many respects is not losing the lessons it is teaching in this war. Perhaps our own country will never see the day of military compulsion as known in Germany, but it is safe to say that every man with bounder will enter more heartily into the spirit of urging military training for its male citizens, knowing what they now know, owing to the German formidability. ST. LOUIS, MO. Mrs. Charles Henry Phillips, Jr., wife of one of the leading local physicians, was joined here by Miss Lady Emma Phillips, of Nashville, and Miss Emma Phillips of Chicago.

We haven't lost a game at the Federal park yet. Let us hope we don't. Ben Taylor practically won Sunday's game, when he hit for a home run with the bases full. Dicta Johnson won two games from the Cuban's in three days. Keep up the good work, Dicta. Chacon got a home run in Tuesday's game. Only one made in Northwestern park during the series. Monday's game, which was won by the Cuban's, was featured by some sensational fielding by each club. Pedroso, of the Cubans, is certainly a ball player. He played left field, behind and caught in Sunday's game. Some resemblance. Charleston and Cuban's were the batting kings in Sunday's game. They each gathered three hits off the islander's twirlers. Ben Taylor got three hits Monday. A three bagger, a double, and a single. He got three also, one of which was a double. The A's only got three hits in Tuesday's game, but as two of them came in the last inning, it helped to win the game. Charleston, DeMoss and Allen were the ones to-connect safely with Pardon's slants. Charleston and Allen hit for two baggers. Everybody interested in the baseball game between the "morning Glants" of Chicago had come to L. Tayler has to say in the Freeman this week. The Cubans have at last gone from our midst. Next on the program will be the Lincoln Stars, with the famous "Cannon Ball" Reddling. Let us hope we have as good luck as we had before. The people didn't "fall" for Rube Glants, but the Lincoln Stars would, as everyone that saw the games between the two clubs, could clearly see that Mr. Foster exaggerated things very much. Dismuks hurt his hand last week, and was unable to get into action during the game, so he top shaked to face the Lincoln at Federal Park, Sunday. Here's trusting that you are, old boy. Shively, the pride of Bloomington, was out of the lineup, Sunday. He was thought little rest might do him some good. As the A's had on their hitting togs, he was not missed.

Easton & Easton, singers of original songs and comedy entertainers, will entertain the Douglass class will entertain the know what to do to please the Macon public. Langer Bros. are making their second season of the musicals of musicians of ability. No manager will make a mistake in booking this high class act, but Miss Cox seems to be a favorite round Macon, as this is her third engagement here within a year. She is singing "I Won't Give Up" and "Right In" as an encore. The bill closes with a very funny little afterpiece. "The Exploits of Elaine," featuring Patricia Arden shown every Monday and Wednesday, has a tendency to appeal to the patronage more than any serial artist. "The Diamond From the Sky," is also a drawing card shown here every Saturday. The management spares no effort to showcase his large and appreciative audience.

Sir—Would a theater or other amusement manager incur a penalty by discriminating against colored soldiers of the British army, either in price of the dignity or accommodations. J. M. Philadelphia, July 28, 1915. An Act of Congress, passed in 1911, authorizes the dignity and honor of the uniform of the United States," provides: "That hereafter no proprietor, manager or employee of an amusement or amusement in the District of Columbia or in any territory, the district of Alaska or insular possessions of the United States, shall discriminate against any person lawfully wearing uniform of the army navy revenue cutter service or marine corps of the United States, and any person making or causing to be made such discrimination shall be guilty of a misdeemment, punishable by a fine not exceeding $500." Slowly and almost imperceptibly the summer days are shortening which means the amusement officer can caught off funds where to wipe one over the long and tiresome voyage of the hot summer. At present writing the Smart Set is the only big show booked to take the road at the beginning of the season. Others may materialize later.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATER. PHILADELPHIA. --- The Byron Brothers presented one of the highest classss musical acts it has been our pleasure to witness. Their stage settings are ripe for artistry. Their instruments are the best and all of the latest model. Costumes pretty neat fitting and in harmony with the setting. The act has been carefully designed to make it easy or how to make an entrance or an exit whether for a regular number or an encore. They have learned the art of making easy and grace while upon the stage. As musicians they rank with the best. The saxophone quintette, the quartette and the introduction. The saxophone and piano with piano accompaniment, and a skillfully played harp solo are feature numbers of the act. The boys are gentlemen. Intelligent and relaxed, they interact with piano which they are leading representatives. Ruth Allen and Delia Fleming entertained with a sister act. Miss Allen sang very sweetly, while the dancing of Miss Fleming is worthy of special mention. Dennel and Holden presented a comedy sit that pleased. Hester Moore, of the team of Tim and Hester Moore, is a clever actress. She knows how to sing and can dance with the best of them. Rhoades and Jackson supplied the comedy of the bill. Their black face imperfection sang a number of original selections which were warmly received. "The Hestation Blues" was their best hit. The boys are working on several numbers, two of which are "Stick" and "Bon Bon Budy, Jr." We regret that some correspondent saw fit at this late date to give publicity to the trouble between Frank Montgomery and Butler May, better known as "String Beans. Your correspondent was an uninterested fan of the frances was such as often happens between two men, overwrought and in a white heat of passion. The women were in no trouble. The peacemakers and the inconveniences they suffered as a result of their husbands' altercation was the lot common to all peacemakers. No one regrets the occurrences of the frances but to the whole theatrical fraternity and we should be slow to give them publicity. As Shakespeare says, "The evil men do the best, the good is often intent with their bones." asked him. "Good acts, well acted," was his reply without a moment's hesitation. It has been and will continue with the method of a actor to a medium not as a marionette." Miss Susie Johnson, who has been oa prolonged vacation, has returned to this house and has charge of the camera. "I am glad we were glad to see her return, because she is a valuable asset, always taking in the situation at a glance and is making sure you are happy and tented.

After two successful trips to Newport News, All the bunch are well and happy, and everything is running along smoothly. Mr. Tolliver is still working with the farmers from the go. He has also begun to enlarge the big show—there are a number of acts to join us soon. Mr. Tolliver will show shows and, as S. H. Dudley said, it more of our colored shows would copy after Tolliver's big show, it would help give work to a great many performers. Friday, August 6, Mrs. Alberta Newton gave a reception at Gideon hall, in which we crowded, and at 2 o'clock lunch was served to the entire company. It was 4 o'clock in the morning when the crowd came. We all had a fine time and we'll not forget Mrs. Newton very soon.

After all there must be something to the colored profession for their letter list is sometimes swell. Dear U. Tellil—A circus is coming to our town and I'm so glad that I'm about to shoot. You are wide awake to the fact that some shows carry confidence men and "skin'em-awl" specialists for the circus, but the plan way to beat some of the sking games that are sure to be practiced in our inoffensive town I would be the happiest girl in town—what would you advise? Answer—Get that lad Taylor, of St. Louis, before he joins hands with Handy, of Memphis, in an agreement to beat a sking game, Trix. Lewis and Lewis, wooden shoe dancers, have said goodbye to Rivierview Park, Louisville, Ky. Riley Miles will open his musical comedy the first week in September. The band has already shot. Told you last week that he was a producer. After this dope smoke the cartoons on the front page. We've had our June weddings and July spats. Now lookout for August separations. The number that John saw and the number of soldiers that the Germans have captured from Russia are near affinities. Young Knox dishes out sport news in sport style and I believe the lad is out there otherwise and a harmless man in the chorus when I sing the shortest but the truest song that was ever written: "Young Knox Nothing." If the gent falls to come across with the treat we, the band, are using the song by erasing the "x" in "Knox." Tim Owsley. Booker Chas. Washington Turpin. Tutt Whitney. Woody Knox. Lew Henry.

Dear old pals: Can't get back to Indianapolis until the latter part of September. Owing to the fact that it comes out at a postal card, it is not impossible for me to write you individually. Read the Freeman and after a bit you see your names under the Stagescope heading gazing in such staring type that you can substitute it for a mirror. Respectfully. FRANK HENDON.

You will find that it Is not to the best intrests of you nor anybody else to threaten to wipe somebody off the map in baseball every time some- body happens to ask to have the priv lege of having something to say’ and do with affairs that concern them as well ag yourself, I note very carefully, that Almost every letter you write me, provided we are differing on some mat- Er, that you offer a threat to annihilate me. forever from. baseball, — Now, it Tooke very reasonable to me that if you can forever wipe me off the base- dail ‘map. that it would not be good business to do so, for many reasons. Firat, it must be conceded by you and an fair-minded people, that T always have a fairly ball club.” And that being & fact, {t makes money for you to have my club appear as an attraction. And secondly, If 1 have sense enough to operate a ball club, any fair-minded man would not object to me having my own idea of things and having the Manhood and courage to let my ideas be known. Tam speaking to you frankly, but cautiously, for the reason, that i am hot. willing to be drawn into a con- troversy with you ‘nor any one else. Gn the other hand, {t Is my purpose to have as good ball club as I can get together, and with the ald of any one Who will be fair enough to help me, provided Lam worthy of help, to make the best of the opportunities ‘that may present themselves to me. At the same time, It Is also my purpose to lay no stone In any one’s Way who may be striving to the same end. I believe, it is thelr God-given right, Ihave "no chip_on my shoulder, it matters not What you may eay or think. And 1 fully realize that you nor any of us Sl have the succeks that awaits us {f You or any of us adhere to the prinel- ples as Jaid down In your letter. Lastly, I will say that I would be very sorry if you would put anything in my wa to keep me from making an honest living.
