It has an elevator and every known modern convenience. At last Kentuckians have a place to meet and speak to each other. Speeches were delivered in the auditorium. The master of ceremonies was the Lord of the Clerks K. K. K. to the lot of Chancellor A. L. Garvin to introduce General R. R. Jackson. General Jackson said that the temple was a place where the great mass of the Supreme Lodge met in Louisville. He declared that just across the street from the temple, in the home of Mrs. Lavenia Watson, was the place where the so-called so-called to erect the structure and now he was permitted to be present when the structure was completed. The general drew a lesson from the evolution of a place that has been built in the past, and has been the present time when the race was proven by great demonstrations that at base it was an intelligent people, even from the moments it was stolen from slavery. Continuing, he was given the right to make a great deal of it, might remain closed and the gates of Annapolis might remain shut to the people, but he was proud to be the head of a training school of soldiers second to none anywhere. He declared that he was a great man, and that he was the fact that the race has within itself the elements of life and success, that no people that could build so wisely could ever be defeated in the final test. Major and General Jackson said that the house to womanhood that brought down the house with applause. He talked about real manhood and quoted passages from the Bible. He spoke of the great man who was the first man to be an enigmer. He traced the Negro soldier from the Revolution to San Juan Hill and the climax was a gem. After wish- Kentuckians at great success and the success of the people, he was a man that, in the support of that support, he closed his address by saying that the great congregation need not sing, "Old Black Joe," "Take Me Back to Old Virginia," but rather all the more to be beautiful. He said the song, typical of the occasion, "In My Old Kentucky Home." The house went wild with applause. It was ten minutes before it ceased. The major general had delivered a great address. Col.

It is auspicious and significant that the erect and dedicate this temple in the year of the golden jubilee of universities that this temple is built in a city where now the strong seek by appeal to passions the wrath of iniquity, to establish the laws of liberty, to the gates of liberty, and drive us across the Anio to make a Sacred I am authorized to say today that the monster of segregation can not live within the shadows of so grand a monument to faith and patience, a monument to the mysterious plan on a spot where only years ago the auction block of blood challenged the vengeance of an angry mob with a boasting tongue of gold, Lincoln came and say to his blood and breed that from Dan to Beershearst, from Ashland to Middleboro, from metes nor bounds may mark the dwelling place of color, if this republic, that was baptized by his blood and that whole by his sacrifice, is to live for liberty against all the tests of time. Temple a Sign of Peace. This temple is a sign of peace and the expectant thought that some day here, on the gulf, men were men by law on the gulf, why should we sacrifice to decorate it? Why make glorious the desert of Alabama with Booker T.'s magic city. The Real Builders. My heart is taken back over the years forever gone. In the boshes of --- victory, in the proud step that measures our parade, as we wipe away the tear and strike hands over the temple, and the warriors. Some are here. Many are gone. “The living have their eyes on the present, but their hearts go back to the past. The dead passed away with this very hour in their vision.” “I have looked through the moving pages of history, and followed the flight of poets. I have studied the changing governments of man and I am ready to declare that no people ever had in years of adversity fathers more loyal or mothers more true than the American Negro. They were poor and wore rags. They lived in cabins, and worshipped God by song and shout in leaky churches. They did not have the cultured speech but they did have the heart of love; and love is greater than culture, for while culture may awe, love alone can overcome the world.” Others Built the Temple. "We consecrate, we dedicate the temple, but those that felt the lash, the tear, the pain, the peak peace to a nation's soul in the fire and flame of battle, built the temple. "I see their pictures hanging on the walls of the temple, and they seem to speak to me in the immensal language of the volceless. They remember me, remember me, that we stood the temple of slavery and suffering that you might walk unbound in the temple of the God's Mighty Men. “There are others still who troop in upon me. If I could provoke the silent dust, and give voice to the speechless, I know that we should have in our company today the figures of the only reformation beyond the pen of history or the word of oracle.” “At this hour I should be seated with you at the feet of God’s mighty men, who made the slave-driver’s knee bow and tore from the crown of the cotton-king every shining star. Garrison would stand and hold up the liberator’s pen. Phillip would charm us with his golden speech choosing his peroration on L’Ouverture, whom the Muse of history placed above all the heroes of worlds and ages. He would tell the United States to go slow in the attempt to enslave Haiti; that though black, Haitians are not slaves, as Napoleon learned to his sorrow a hundred years ago. “Summer would rise and re-declare that slavery is sectional, but freedom national, and perhaps he would say that the ‘Jim Crow’ car and the disfranchising law are slavery drawing a death bed breath. Theodore Parker would appear and say that he told us seventy years ago that his God is a Lord of War. And John Brown would stand before us with a map of Virginia drawn against the dancing skies, his index finger on Harper’s Ferry. Benediction of the Martyrs. "If the dead could come and speak, if the dead could come and view the structure; if Whittier and Lowell, the harpists of liberty, could gather here to gain the whole enlisted under the capacancy of the 14th of the 19th-Thousand-Diesse Stevens, Roscoe Conkling, Blaine, John A. Andrew, Seward and all the rest. I say if silence could break the whole body, I think I will be told to take theمنبر of the men, but I am not mocked. Upon our words, God is not mocked. Upon our words and hopes, our songs and fears, you have been a man, and you have been a man when once the blood-hound will be in the of pearls and the gift of God was robed in the purple of shame. Now all are in the whim and black, and the good thing is to or to the whole body. I think we have passed away, behold all things are new." There was wild� castasy after Mr. Stevenson and Lashley. The crowd would cheer, cease and begin anew. It marked an epoching making event on the orangut in Old Kentucky. Hangquet Monday Night. On Monday night there was a banquet, a Major Jackson, Cary B. J.

Fifty-third Street, New York City: SEPTEMBER 20, 1915—Last week your correspondent interviewed John Graves, an enterprise young merchant of the city, spending a few days in this city on leading merchants in the middle west and his rise to prominence is such as to give inspiration to other young men in the city. He graves went to Columbus when he was nineteen and began to paddle vegetables and potatoes at $6.00. He built up a steady trade, and four years ago he opened his present establishment which is one of the leading merchants in the city. He carries a complete line of groceries, vegetables meats and tobacco, and coffee. He responds that his business was steadily the increase and the outlook indicated that it will soon ripen into one of the most successful enterprises. While in this city Mr. Graves looked over some of the enterprises that are conducted by him. Members of the race are interested in his life and the publication of 45,000 of our people. Your correspondent is glad to call attention to young men who are succeeding as businessmen. A Worthy Young Business Man of the Metropolis. Among the young men of this city who are making good in their line is Mr. Johnson, a real estate and insurance broker. Mr. Johnson has given special study to these two branches and is making them to get away from the crowded estate man Mr. Johnson has succeeded in interesting a large number of our people in suburban property which is crowding them to get away from the crowded estate man Mr. Johnson believes that the Negroes should get away from the large central property where they may open small farms and raise produce. Mr. Johnson has also done well as an insurance man and during the short space of two years he has worked on policies. Your correspondent called on the young broker at his office, 2297 Seventh avenue, last week and sounded the fall. Mr. Johnson came to this city from Smithfield, Va., where he was born, about ten years and represents the corner north and catches the Yankee spirit. He is well known in church circles of the city and is accustomed to succeed further in his work as a real estate man. He is in a position to do the race much good. The Rise of a Young Negro. Few members of the race realize the large number of young men of the race who are holding a creditable position. In the first year, they are holding a highly upon the integrity and capacity of the Negro. Perhaps one of the most responsible positions that is held by a member of the race, the American White, who has been a chichetman would delight in having in the position held by J. W. Montgomery, a young colored man of Toronto, Canada, who is the private secretary of the American William Mining. One of the most prominent men throughout Canada. Mr. Montgomery, who was appointed to this office nine years ago, has entire charge of the private brand. He has been a member of the official party in the only clerk in the office of Chief Justice Merodin. Mr. Montgomery is holding his office purely on merit and the splendid satisfaction that he has given him a great office. He has the greatest diplomacy, tact and education is required is an accomplishment that any young man of the race may well be the one who has been a member of the school of the company. In an interview last week, while on a visit to this city, his rise to his present high office of responsibility and trust has been born in the United States. He was born in Kentucky but when he were child went to Toronto, Canada, where he was reared by his grandmother. He was educated in the United States in 1914, and began his career as a barber in Chan. Ont. His activity in politics secured for him a position as messenger in the Parliament building at Toronto, and he was a key figure in pacity where he came in intimate contact with the most influential men of Canada. While serving in this office THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. "BUB" HE'S ALWAYS TO BLAME he showed unusual aptitude, and attracted the attention of the powers that commanded the attention to the Chief Justice Mr. Montgomery was appointed to this office. The office of private secretary to this noted office is a high one in Canada, and Montgomery was the most noted personalities in Canada. He told your correspondent that a building connected with Parliament in Osborne Hill where his wife reside. Osborne Hall is one of the buildings connected with Parliament in Osborne Hill where his wife reside. Osborne officials of the Dominion, Mr. Montgomery's office gives him a fine insight into Canadian affairs, and gives him a legge of few members of the race to possess. Mr. Montgomery reluctantly told these facts to your correspondent because as his would inspire other men he is modest and unassuming in manner. He told these facts only after your correspondent informed that a career such as his would inspire other men. Montgomery is one of the most cultured young men in the race. His manner and man of affairs of which his office gives That a young Negro can rise to such an influential office as held by Mr. Montgomery is proof positive of a great achievement in race with the background. While in this city Mr. Montgomery spent a great deal of time at the Y. M. C. A. where he met a large number of young men in the city, and to your correspondent. Mr. Montgomery is one of the leading men in his influence, its constantly, using his influence to raise the tus of the young men of the race. When the Ecumenical Methodists met in Toronto in 1911 Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were prominent of the colored delegates to the conference. Their guests included Bishop and Mrs. Alstork, of Alabama; Bishop and Mrs. Blackwell, of Philadelphia; Bishop and Dr. Surv, and Mrs. J. S. Jackson. Rev. William W. Prime Building up U A. M. E.

A. M. E. Although the U. A. M. E. church is the youngest branch of the Methodist Neighborhood ground throughout the whole country. Judging from the present growth it is safe to say that this branch of Methodism will become one of the most successful churches in the country problems. The U. A. M. E. church in this city is having a rapid growth and is therefore a major church of the denomination. The place this church is taking in the church life of this city is due a great pastor, Rev. William W.

Negroes Organizing Civic Leagues Throughout Massachusetts. A movement is on foot among the Negroes of Massachusetts to organize civic leagues throughout the state that will have for its purpose the fighting of many civic problems that confront the Negro. Already this movement is taking up the ground and bids fair to be one of the most potent movements in the uplift of the race. The aim of this movement was made known to your correspondent last Sunday by Edward L. Shepherd, of Springfield, Mass., who is one of the most en- tӀэstions of the time for the White Shepherd is a member of the executive committee of the Civic League of Springfield and stated to your correspondent that since the organization of the league it had done some constructive work that has been for a long time. The "Negro, Mr. Shepherd stated that it would not be long before there were such leagues in every city of the state. The movement is meeting with encouragement by such able men as ex-Assistant Attorney General James H. M. Shepherd is one of the leading men of affairs in the city of Springfield and is one of the city's most substantial citizens. He is an insurance broker as well as being engaged in real estate. He is the only colored agent of the Mutual Housing Company, a real estate company which is seeking to improve the living conditions of his customers by providing better houses for them. Mr. Shepherd has done much for the race as a real estate man. He was born in Springfield, and then moved to the city. He is a member of the St. John's Congregational church. Mr. Shepherd, when seen in this city last week, was on a vacation a part of which he was spending. He is a fine type of Negro manhood and believes in the possibilities of his race.

The conditional clause is repeated to an exclamation, noticeable. The subject is worthy of widespread discussion and is of deep interest to the ministry and daily notice. What will the A. M. E. Church do? . . . The National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., is nothing if not up-to-date. It has recently installed in its plant an automatic firefighting system, any ordinary fire, and has attached to it enough piping and machinery to construct a complete water-works system for any small community. The sprinkler system is the main of the city system, with emergency plugs which would double the protection in case the house plant should be required to work with the fire. The sprinkler system is also attached to the sprinkler, so that if a fire breaks out at any time, day or night, the city authorities are equipped by electrical alarm systems to disorderly automatically.

She was in Pittsburgh a few days ago, and pushed on her vigorous campaign for the education of the women and men of the race, and she was a champion of the Paul Dunbar chiselection Federation of Pittsburgh, being greeted at every point by large audible applause at the literary and educator, and a woman of impressive personality as well as beauty, is head of the English department in social settlement work, in conjunction with Wilmington, Del., but puts in her spare time in lecturing, reading and engaging in social settlement work, in conjunction with the close of her school in June she has been active in the suffrage campaign in Pennsylvania, and has been a fuller understanding among one people of the merits of universal suffrage. A woman is entitled to a career, as much as she must have, in making the government under which she must live.

Scores of influential men be- come leaders of the league who are denied the privilege of leagues many of the meetings in which they are interested, because of their separate status. The sponsoring officer, for instance, in the K of P. could not be with the National Negro League, both are held the same season. The league is suggested that some agreement be reached by which the business league, the Elks, the National Medical Association, the National Football Association, the C, the General Encampment of the K of P, and other organizations which meet within a week or so of each other. The league can hold cities that can be reached and held in an absence from home of not more than three weeks, and involving a mini-expense of transportation. Chicago has a happy year, as four organizations were within in hailing distance, as to time and place, the expiration benefited from all concessions, even from to Kansas City, and there is strong pressure on the business league to go to Kansas City, and there is strong pressure on the league to go to C, and the capital is making a bid for the business league. Will those in authority consider the suggestions ad- vanced to have sympathetic organizations to near one another, east, west or south? REV. W. T.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK. Do you know that if 100 additional Negroes would patronize any one of the Negro businessmen we spend a 25 cents apiece a week with him, in a year he would make $1,300? Suppose 50 Negroes would patronize him, in a short time his or her business would increase so rapidly that they would have to take on more help. Maybe then your son or daughter might be taken out of the field or kitchen to fill the position—royal Messenger. Dr. Dumba, like the Turkish ambassador, has also exited. The colored people of Indianapolis have no less than fifty automobiles—that's prosperity. The allies of the European war are at the bat, and doing some good. Their delay has tried the patience of their friends the world over. Now if the Democrats will be as vigilant in the future as the Republicans are now about election frauds this community will be a veritable political spotless town. The ugly charge of distrustless voting is against the Democratic administration. There is no way to justify it, if it is as alleged. Not that any of the wrongs are justified, but most of the charges are no more than political practice, as wrong as they are. The Freeman's exposition number will be an effort to include the representative of the race, whether of men or affairs. It will come from the press and from the judiciary, with the addition to the festival of commemoration for achievements during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. Samuel S. Taylor, a bright Indiana product, now a professor in Straight University, N. O. was in the city for a few days this week, during which time he made three appearances at the Y. M. C. A., where he was heard in interesting speeches and talks. Mr. Taylor is one of the foremost young men of his race. Before he graduated from DePawr, one of the leading schools of the state, he had won oratorical honors as a representative of his college over several similar hustles. He has been engaged in scholastic pursuits either as student or teacher, until today he is an acknowledged intellectual giant. His former associates and friends are very proud of him. Under ordinary circumstances the Haitians would be justified in bucking the biggest power on earth, or the combined powers, as a mater of protest in the interest of their integrity as an independent nation. But the circumstances have not been ordinary. No country in the world's history has been so turbulent in the same number of years. They should welcome an intrusion that means relief from the riotous life that they have been leading. The United States guarantees stable government in the end; and the interregnum of quiet should be valued as an opportunity to become politically whole and whole in whatsoever direction. The fighting back simply puts their liberty in jeopardy, since it is plainly忍耐. "To deny equal opportunity to the Negro in this land would be out of harmony with American history, untrue to the sacred principles of liberty and equal rights, and would make a mockery of our boasted civilization and justice."—Mayer William Hale Thompson, of Chicago. In accordance with his high-tone utterance Mr. Thompson has given out two hundred new jobs to Negroes of that city. This means very much in view of the consideration usually shown the race. Of course it means much more to him than it does to the other rare to hear of a white official in these days proclaiming the rights of all of the citizens including the Negroes. This is as it should be; not that it should be necessary to announce the intention, but it should be the intention of every official to regard the citizens alike so far as it is within his power to do so. The election fraud trials drag wearily along. Now and then there is a surprising bit of testimony, but mostly it is but the same old thing now being served up, making notable individuals and incidents that before passed unnoticed. All of this does not lessen crime. It makes a parade whose good does not greatly exceed the harm, in that there seems to be as much effort to drag in individuals as to deal with those of confessed guilt. We are not interested in sending mayors of cities, or other high officials to prison, unless it is very plain that they are useless owing to their crimes and misdemeanors. As politics goes it ought to be very plain to see that an individual should be punished for wrong doing, without the sturdious effort to ferret the thing out. If the spotlight were turned on the political workers in general they would have difficulty in withstanding its gaze. Dishonesty is dishonesty in any old place, but by consent we have allowed politics very much. And, of course, the wrongs should be stopped in some way. But it looks a bit malicious when going extreme lengths to convict men when practically the whole business of practical politics is more or less irregular. If the committee pays my rent so that I may move to a new home just before election day it has done wrong. And even if it pays my rent to stay until election against my will I have been paid for my vote. I will not leave out to the utmost would not leave many of us clean and whole. RILEY DAY. Riley day in Indiana, October 7, will be a red letter day in honor of one who has brought fame to the state of a most enduring kind. The hundreds of thousands and millions have some literary ability. They can write, they can sing according to the common gift. But the gift of being the leading singer of the great choir of mankind amounts to an endowment that may be classed as superhuman, liking for every kind of world to distribute sympathy and cheer to weigh against the hard qualities that infest us. The world has always been mindful of its poets even though some of them wanted for bread. Oliver Goldsmith, while consorting with the great Samuel Johnson and his distinguished coterie, was scarcely able to make a decent appearance in public owing to his poverty. Edgar Allen Poe was never in easy circumstances, and perhaps for his own good as a singer, since his lays were oftimes the cohage of his own heart, and which beat in unison with those of the poet. Here were the reflections of griefs and sorrows as well, high virtues and resolves of resignation and hope, and kindled imagination, teaching that whatever lot of all," and "into each life some rain must fall." In these days the world is not so negligent of those who help in making light its burden and its yoke easy. It is not always that "the anguish of the singer makes the sweetness of the strain," but clearly there was, and is, a class who sing best when touched with some infirmity. There are those, who like a many a minister of this day, live the life of their humblest acquaintance, suffering as he suffers, regardless of the money condition. These are of the natural priesthood of the world, born to their avocation, and who must minister to the world's discord in the interest of harmony. So it has not been necessary to reduce the poets to starvation that they sing in tones divine. Teenagers Long-fellow, Poe, Byron, Shelly Keats, and many more were aided circumstances. But they were the human touch, just. This is particularly true of Shelly, Byron, Keats and our Long-fellow. They found enough to profoundly stir them, according to their natures, without the harassing thing of money need. Old Walt Whitman, of whom so little is known, might be added to the list. Our Riley has been fortunate in money affairs, but he found some rough sledding at the beginning. He harmonized and painted signs in answer, we will say, to things that stirred within him. The spirit was in him, as the laying on of hands at a ministerial ordinations, not could he escape it. He got regular, settled down to his calling, since which time he has poured forth his lays as from a horn of plenty. As he sowed thus he reaped. His large fortune gathered during the years is the testament of a people well served. No class has bee neglected by Mr. Riley—the young, the middle aged, the old have come in for a share of consideration. He might be called the poet of the people as Burns was called, but he was more than that of Scotland. He treated homely themes as he did, but with more direction and with more polish. The rich would object to calling Mr. Riley the poet of the poor because he dealt with humbler subjects in such a way as to interest all. In the museum Hole" was anybody's old swimming Hole" was anyunt Mary's" home would have been a delight for any class of people. Others of his poems furnish amusement when class distinction is forgiven. We laugh with him—all can laugh, for it is not at the expense of any class. All can weep and sorrow when he weeps and sorrows, for they are not things of classes. His children's verses have endeared him to the world. Whomsoever the children love so loveth the parents, consequently he has taken us all in, "In the round tower of my heart," as Longfellow has it, to keep us forever and a day. THE LEO FRANK PLAY. This week one of the play houses presents a dramatized version of the now famous case of Leo Frank, of Atlanta, Ga. On seeing the announcement, "The Sacrifice," one would be led to suspect that he would see something different from what the company of players present, the once-last president, at the opening, was not large, but, perhaps, as large as they usually are at matieres. From several viewpoints the occasion was an opportunity, and especially so since the play was so beautifully balanced. Either side, if we may so state it, found it possible to extract some satisfaction. There was a hushed air over all, even including the ticket sellers, the ticket takers, and the attendants in general. The audience behaved as if it were at a funeral—almost oppressively quiet—ominously quiet. Now and then were applause, always coming at the conclusion of some forceful presentation of the Frank side; not so much for Frank per se as for the sentiment of justice for men in general. It was plain, however, that these were his friends, a goodly number of whom were Jewish people. The dramatization, of course, is in the interest of the unfortunate man. It is colored at times to heighten the effect, then again it clings to the line of facts or alleged facts as they were learned from the newspapers. Much of the tragic which occurred in the real happening was happily sheared, and thus there was a most beautiful representation of a supposed wrong man contending heroically for justice. If the state gets a chance to create favorable sentiment it is through the determined effort to have Frank pay the penalty of the crime with which he was charged. The state appeared a nemesis, following, persistently following, as a hound its "prey," unmindful of every influence. The officers in the play as those of the happening seemed to be thoroughly convinced that they were right. The two forces locked horns on the stage as they did in real life, the advantage, however, as seen on the surface was with Frank, and, of course, in the interest of the success of the play, and perhaps, in the interest of an effort to free the man's memory of the awful charge. the performer who took the part of the wife moved the audience as the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER real brave little woman who fought so largely her husband's battles. Fiction rarely affords an opportunity for such display of wifely devotion. Here was no necessity for the spectacular; stage settings and accessories were not of much assistance; they would have hampered the play. Plainness and directness ruled from the beginning to the end. Amid this the little lady fought stubbornly and brilliantly. She had her alternate hopes and doubts as she fought her way up the courts. She had her victories and losses, giving way to her womanhood at times when the load became unbearable, when the simulated shriek drove white terror to the heart. Her courage gave no evidence of grief. She had her joy places—comparatively joy—the difference between extreme hope and utmost despair. No word she uttered was lost. Her rare voice, her beautiful inflection and her understanding of the case made for a most interesting presentation. The performer taking the part of Frank was well chosen. He had a fine, full voice, influenced somewhat by the nasal, making for a touching agreeableness in tone, and which was well modulated. He made his impression by his love for wife and family, his deep avowals of innocence and his sublime resignation to what the gods had in reserve for him. The fervent love claps were as benedictions, an inspiration for actual life—no man smiled. Had he been the real Leo Frank pleading at the world's bar, meeting every man face to face, Mary Phagin would have been forgotten. The other performers were happily chosen, especially the mayor, who had such a stormy session with the wife and her friends, the Jewish and Protestant ministers. The Jewish minister, like his race, was gifted with the speech of music. The Protestant stood for the zeal of the church, and he was the early Christian martyrs. He bearded the lion in his den and was unafraid. Nothing of stage professionalism was noted in the principals. The mayor would have passed as such in the best of communities. The sheriff, who was touched for the once, backing down from his own orders, was like many another seen in real life. The prison scene tamed the horror of the place under the spell of love's dominion. The little woman made its shame ashamed to assert itself. No neaven were so sweet as this, no thought she enforced its presentation was worthy, nothing offensive, unless it was fact of a movement to set Frank right in the eyes of the world. The audience, as we viewed it, came away without being any nearer the truth concerning the murder of Mary Phagin. It came away, however, with increased respect for the wounded wife, but with a doubt yet fixed as to who did the deed. TO THE BAPTIST CHURCHES AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Owing to the fact that a rump convention was held in Chicago, and I am hastily sending you this note to ask that you send all orders for Sunday school supplies to 409 Gay street, Nashville, Tenn.

If your order should be a few days late in reaching you, do not become impatient it will take you to cause demand that we take this step. E. C. MORRIS, President National Baptist Convention. Bradford & Jeanette, Anderson & Austin, White & White and Gulfport—A Strong Bill. The bill at the Crown Garden is unusually strong this week, and as a result there was a marked improvement in attendance. Anderson and Austin the Yodler and his wife Charles Anderson will be known best by his yodling singing, although he does a nice straight to Austin's coarse voice. Emmett, were in the flesh he would not have much on Anderson for this style singing. Emmett was more careful than the remarkable quality of voice. In some respects Anderson's voice is rarer than Emmett's was. Those high note and lingers there for an appropriate accompaniment. During his singing he strikes a high clear note and lingers there for an appropriate orchestra plays an appropriate accompaniment. The expressions were A CHARLES ANDERSON, THE YODLER. "Oh isn't That Beautiful." And it was. In responding to encores, he gave a very fine rendition of the blues—"St. Louis Blues" and "The Weary Blues," his fimation of "Loukewax," as he recited. "Austin," Buster, as he is called, gets himself up most grotesquely. His string of comedy is different and entertaining. He adds to the gaiety of Spann's strumming who was farcical and laughable. The act is a big winner. Bradford and Jeanneette All Around Entertainers. Mule Bradford, as he is styled, is known for his ability to work with he has been very much in evidence with his dogs.

He has been circulating mostly in the East, where he has been a popular comedian, does a good planologue in a taking style, making decided hits by his singing, and is animated by the graceful, vivacious little Miss Jennette, who talks straight with the best of them. She costumes well, making for a good apposition. They enter singing "South Carolina," followed by a breezy quarrel that shows their stand-out qualities of the show. They enter a taking style, "Walk the Dog With Me." The music of the act. He put on the comedian's own composition, and the "Lonesome Blues." Both went big. The show is breezy, including with the gigantic act, "How in the World Do You Figure I Will Miss You?" The act is an entertainer all the time, and was highly appreciated by the audience. White and White, Comedian and Straight White and White, Elbert and Mary, is a new team to the Crown Garden patrons, but it jumped into favor at the beginning of the acting of the little lady, who represented in an interesting and amazing way the phase of life she was trying to show. Unique is the word for her, but the old story is that, but the old story of real life. Elbert showed up well as a performer, but his forte is his singing. He is blessed with a powerful voice, full of emotion and which it is a real delight to hear. The couple open singing "Mean Old Moon," with two good voices that sing the subject of their little skit, which runs through the act, making it of unusual interest. Miss White is small, which, she says, makes her good attention all through. Her style of speaking is very effective, picturesque, meaning much more than she says. She spends her money on her performances, using her enthusiasm this. She doesn't stand for it, and her style of getting even is the big hit of the act. She does a bit of amusing monologue, being her on-purpose song, "Stay Awhile," in her own pleasing style—Elbert White's own composition. Her dance movements are also on-point, and her Ways from Home." The act is noted for its balance, having been thought out beforehand with the view of comedy, as received from beginning to end. Gulport, the Original The stage manager of Original Gulport, who is one of the best comedians before the public. Gulport can do nothing poorly, such as his hit "I'll be a bit of a comedian to do it." He strikes the stage with his dance eccentricities, which at once set the audiences a going and which could be a terrifying trast with his work helps in producing the fun. He is funny every minute. He sings "I Want Somebody to Go and Find My Su." He also does the same thing with his work brings down the house. "Buzzz Around," his own original composition, is a song hit. His monologue is a bit humorous. He scored big all through his act. RUSSELL-OWENS COMPANY IN "JESSAMINE" CAP- TURE ST.

We note her wonderful progress and must give credit to her husband George Freeman, who in less than a year modeled a finished actress out of raw and inexperienced material. Baby Mack has developed into a Littl- tle woman and her talent has grown with Miss Nina Mitchell is a most delightful faecalist, whose voice thrillingly he hears with eagacity. Miss Jonnell Perry is new here, but her beauty and grace won the hearts of the audience. Her voice is the tribute Boh Russell plays a conspicuous part. He is the keystone of the company, and does his work with precision and artistry. She plays the comedy Tommie Parkes, as "Bogato" lovers of "Jessemine" (Baby Mack), keep up the merriment. George Freeman, "the comedy Silk Bates fell well into the musical and dance numbers with much art. The female members offer a delightful art. The musical numbers are melodiously and harmoniously rendered, and the comedy is clean and whole. It a hit with their vocal numbers and saxophone duet. The entire production from the opening chorus to the closing chorus is clean and whole. It a great higher than the ordinary vaudeville show and should be a valuable asset to any manager's box office.

The manager answered, "The self-same George," and he made good what he told his patrons. Then they took him to prove that it pays to show good pictures. Mr. M.

Dear Sir--Replying to article appearing in your paper headed, "Miss Mitchell drank a Caviar sandwich," the lady said, the presence of others, "I was both discounteous and insulting. She does not say who the friend was, but I am sure she is sulting. Here is just what happened, the only time I was in Miss Mitchell's company, in Chicago: "I was seated in 'Teenan' Jones' Caboret on State street in Chicago in company with Miss Carrie McKeever and Mr. Buel Watt, who were in a friend's room. Mr. S. H. Dudley and some others I can not remember, who now, when Miss Mitchell came in with a friend invited them over and bought a drink. Miss Mitchell drank a clover leaf cocktail. Miss Mitchell drank another cocktail. I ordered another drink and Miss Mitchell drank a "Caviar sandwich." Miss Mitchell asked me to set her date (week of August 30) in St. Louis, back one week. I told her I could not do as I had before. I asked her to set the following week for a run, and I asked her why she wanted her date set back. She said, "Next week is the weekend." My friend of mine wants me to stay over." I heard no more of Miss Mitchell until time for rehearsal, Monday, Aug. 30, 2014. Miss Mitchell wrote wire from M. Klein stating that Miss Mitchell was sick. I have also in my possession a note written by her on a note to M. Klein Monday, Aug. 30, at 12:30 a.m. as follows: "Mr. Klein, here is my ticket to St. Louis. I am horease and will rest up next week. "Signed, ABBI." There you have the whole matter in exact detail with names of persons who were in the house. I leged insult ? happened, she does not state, because she can not; neither can I or anyone else in the party above you. I have not heard that it never occurred. Further, the lady did not send any photos, although she had three weeks' advance notice. Any one can take the above facts and Miss Mitchell further says, "Please state the facts," and goes on to say that she "appears so befitting that she and Europe audiences for a number of years." What bearing has that on the matter in question? I fall in love with her. "That that she has appeared for a 'number of years.' I remember seeing her when I was a child (as no doubt many years ago) and certainly she appeared before American and European audiences. So did "Jo Baird," "The Bearded Lady," "The Bearded Lady," etc. But we can not blame the audiences, they could not help themselves. They did not know what they were going up with." Fact is, Miss Mitchell, the aforementioned "Bearded Lady," and others, has seen her day, and we have wished her girth has very much increased and her voice and ability has very much decreased, with the passing of "many years" and she proudly confesses that she probably week's rest quite often and further, must sieze on every chance to break up a fight with her managers to book her at a price beyond her worth, if for no other reason than curiosity. She is quite welcome to any publicity she may have to use a stage expression, Miss Mitchell "has not got him." She did not get "insulted" for four days after she was hired, and she have occurred, and accepted my ticket Sunday night just before she was to leave for St. Louis. She is notoriously difficult to get a member of the profession can testify. Also many managers. I have worked nearly all the ladies in the profession, and I have convinced opinions be the verdict as to whether I am insulting or not. AT THE LYCSEM THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. Wm. H.

Anita Patti Brown was singing from La Tavola at La Stella, still improving in art at best with her high notes. Her middle register the original Black Pans, whom we just heard at the Grand and even her present art cannot be determined. The trill were superb and her voice equal to any in sweetness. Finally as Aida and W. Hayes sang arias preceding the famous duet in Verdi's "Aida," and in the duet, exept a lack of certainty in tone and color, the original coloring but in a lyric compass. Roland W. Hayes is a tenor of a round and full, is neither light nor robust, but adequate to demand in fortissimo. If his voice can be called a baritone quality which resorts to a nasal tone in the upper register, but as a whole, sweeter than his temperament. Theodore Taylor was better than usual at the piano. The church was nearly and the affair was a social success. Black Patti Returns East. When Sissieretta Jones, Black Patti, ried with her pictures a horsehoe of roses which were presented to her by her pictures, and Lyons of a box party who came to honor the greatest singer the colored race horse, produced for a period of thirty years. Horshoe of Rosen Presented to Shank Petal Black Patti, who with her maid and companion, Mrs. S. E. Collier, kept in seclusion and all invitations of honor were politely refused, owing to worry over her mother's continued illness. She was compelled to cancel all her western engagements to return East on that account. I had the honor of escorting her to the depot when she left on the New York Central. The diva's engagement not only drew musically educated foreigners to the Grand but her great art made the song "Rose in the Bud" famous.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. Jolly John Larkins is the one best ever had." Chas. E. Barton, owner. 9 Genius, as defined by Mr. Webster of dictionary fame, means talent. We commonly speak of an especially talented person as a genius. But it is not always the genius or the exceptionally talented person who is successful. To our mind a genius is a person with an unlimited capacity for hard work and study. Most geniuses need some person with business acumen to guide them, to conserve their talents and direct them into the right channels before they attain success. One has only to look casually about to see the great amount of talent that is going to waste. The Socrates, the Napoleons, the Shakespeare, the Raphs, the Mozarts and the Carusos: great souls, oftimes ignorant of their wealth of talent, without confidence, lacking in initiative, inpotent to lift the veil of obscurity and shed the light of their genius upon a waiting world. Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower was born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air." One need not be a gelus to attain success in training. Success is always within one's reach. Opportunity is always knocking at one's door if one only knows how, when, and where to succeed. An easy road to success, no short途. Success may only be attained by indefatigable labor, unlimited patience, courage, and good grit, seemingly unsurmountable obstacles. The world is like a vast foot ball field. The men and women are the players. We buckle on our guards and shields and start across the field. There will be stiff opposition, plenty of interference and we will be tackled from the right, the left and the rear. There will be overwhelming numbers that may overwhelm us to the ground, but if the training has been efficient and the condition is good we feet, rush forward and buck the line with added determination and reeling in courage, courage, courage, and eye and ear alert we will outwit and elude our adversaries and nothing can stop our actions the goal of our intentions is reached. The first step toward success is to know what one really wishes to do and then use that skill to improve your an ability to attain success. Health is an invaluable attribute to success. Health destroying habits deter many people, but weakening them have reached the threshold of success. Like Moses, bad habits allow many to climb the mount and gaze with wistful eyes, but the weakening of them allows them to reach the goal of their ambitions. One must set for one's self a high standard of excellence and new skills, and the other that standard. Work and study. Study and work is the real key to success. S. H. Dudley, with Will Ramsey and the mule Patrick, will make a long vaudeville tour through the West. The act will no doubt meet with great success. NEWS OF THE PLAYERS.

C., Sept. 2. —Word comes from Philadelphia that the Whitney & Tutt "Smart Set" opened at the Packed House, and that the S.R. Q. sign was in evidence throughout the week. The new comedy, "George Washington Bullion," is said to be the best of the new comedy series that has ever presented to the public and is in many ways superior to even "Abyssinia" and "The Red Moon," considered the apex of road shows in the stage life. The individual hits were made by Salem Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Blanche Akerey, Marshal Hattle, Akerey, Marshal Gray, Dixon, Dixon, Frank Jackson, and the chorus is said to be the best-looking coterie of girls that ever came down the pike. The scenic effects stage accessories and the daring man grabs the "went big" with every audience faced. James Vaughn, as musical director, carries off a large share of the Philadelphia direct to the Lafayette in New York, and reports indicate that they duplicated the triumph scored in the season. The daring man served his New York appearance until about the close of the season, when the country has voiced its approval. The daring man was also questioned, that the daring manager has decided to go to the rower's row at once and抢 the game at the start. Washington sees the daring man at close range, week of October 4, after which we shall have more to say in detail of the remarkable production. Dudley's U Street Theatre is presenting one of the best bills of the season this week. The Two Musical Seminoles have polished up their air and unir it to the best. I just need to find the dialect and life-like make-up, together with catchy selections on various instruments, has called for extra encores nightly. Johnson & Baylor have new songs of an amusually bright and original "conservation," comingled with new steps in dancing. Miss Baylor is one of the daintiest ladies on the stage and made a host of new friends this week. The clowned singing and widest meanor. Her dress creations were a revelation. Mr. Johnson is a comedian of the first rank. Both show great improvement over former appearances here. The photo plays are far above the average. Romeo L. Dougherty, dramatic and sporting editor of the New York News, has turned the name of the most popular show of the time here and attended to many business matters, the result of which will appear later. Whethmer he left any diamond rings on the fingers of any fair damsels of the capital is also a question yet to be determined.

McFARLAND-GIBBONS MATCH IS ONLY A DANCING CONTEST. give him time, anyway. Finally, turn and walk back." Often a writer, in his excitement will change his pitching style. Again I have seen them take a windup in pinch with men on bases. If an in jabbering, a jabbering. But the Performers and the Promoters Got Them, and the Public Used a Solid The 'T Told You-So' chorus now rises. Just as predicted, the Packey McParlain brigade Beach, New York, turned out to be a "demon." The public bit, over 26,000 having paid to see the match, McParlain has also paid him and the nubiles to say, got theirs. It will be remembered that on August 11, the team said: "Both boxers famous, of course, and are fast and scientific and all that, but the bout will be little more than a dancing contest. Atlanta, former featherweight champion, says he couldn't call it a fight, because there wasn't a round of real fighters, but up put this same kind of a game that Packey and Mike did," he says, "wed be called fakers." Naturally the usual cry of "fake has gone out," he says to be lit up should for the charge. Everybody should have known what to expect. Gibbons boxed too carefully to suit the opponent, so do any damage. The action was fast enough, but without decisive replay. Although the game has gone to a major of the opinion of a major of the experts was that McFarland had scored a victory on points. Mike outfit his Packey when force is considered too weak. The Mike packy Packey, there was some semblance of power behind it. But he didn't do another thing at any time during the attack. He commanded him or to lift the name of Gibbons to any higher pinnacle than that of the ordinary $75 battler who is willing to throw a shoulder out of joint. Mike spirits were not as buoyant as those of his opponent when they entered the ring. The hitters were Mike's Mickeys, 152, and Gibbons, 153, at ringside in costume. Talked in Clinches. During the contest Gibbons several times talked to his opponent when they clinched. What he said could not be heard. Then, when the final bell clanged, he looked at the opponent and about to go to their corners, McFarland, his face twisted with seeming pain, and about to take another slam at Gibbons. Two or three times he went through the motions of starting a punch, but the opponent was not there. The boxers were then pushed to the center of the ring to shake hands and pose. Then, in the remarks, "You beat me next time, Mike, but, whatever happens, I'm with you, right or wrong." Women at Ringside. In this most unusually staged of all boxing shows, came emphatically an answer to the question: Do women want to see boxing shows? Evidently there are some who do. They were a feature of the largest crowd ever assembled to witness what was a mere boxing contest, with no title at stake. They dotted all sections from boxes close to the ring to the last row of the dollar seats. It is probably no exaggeration to say that there were more women in the big arena than have ever been collectively assembled in all the boxing contests which have gone before in the history of boxing in America. There was no evidence of shame-facedness. On the contrary, they watched the preliminaries, the first of which ended in a knockout in the third round, and the second in a considerable spilling of blood from “Young” Mundy's right eye, with open-eyed wonder.

This sounds like an editorial by Mr. Brisbane, but, caring can cause a baseball article. Big leaguers don't live on the glory of yesterday, but they get scout nourishment and know that Johnny Evers is a survivor of the glory of yesterday, but he is still the team leader on the field as he ever was. To him, however, there never was and never will be a teammate. And, perhaps, he is right. I heard a well known manager remark a quote: "The Boston Braves are the world's champions, and there is only one ball player on the club—John Evers. He is it. It is true that Evers is irritate at times because his present teammates have been the old Cubs he plays beside under chance. Johnny thinks so fast, plays so well, and many men on the Boston club look bad. He is so good that most of the team hate him for his gameness, but they love him. He is all under cover. He is a real ball player of the old school, and they hate him and John still dreams of the old Cubs. that would the Cubs have done in this session, they asked Evers one day, "They would have won so far," he said, "They would have they could pull off the world in one day, even old as the machine would have been this year, we could have creaked them ahead of the showing in this going." John thought the last time I saw him be in the world's series again, but I don't know. They didn't have the punch to carry them through. Their pitchers weren't the ones or it. But let me tell you that Evers told me when it comes to big leaguers, as is indicated by the story showing the linemen when he is lifted from the line. The club also has missed Marinville. "We go to a prizefight and see the two scissors, they swap punches, I am currying as they swap punches, I know what they say to each other. It is calling each other hard times and endeavoring in every way that they are so." I doubt if the language is so. man might write for *Sunday school* consumption an accurate report of food and drink purchases, a player runs up to and puts a glove to his mouth and talks below. He remarks are generally fit for any deaf player, but he talks loud enough, and deaf ladies generally the most susceptible to hearing loss. In other words, he is not intended to anyway. In other words, the last word in sensitive sensibilities. The child is a great man to run in from the hall and to talk to him. His principal lesson is to stall for time and let the child be in his bearings. Ty has a long way to travel and is in center field. He heaps in. But he walks out. When you say to them? I asked Cobble one day. I generally ask him,' replied Ty, 'if he wants all those people in the grandstand to think he hasn't the courage to win the game. If he wants them to think he is yellow. I keep on talking to him along this line, and the umpires generally butt in and try to chase me back. But I argue along to give him time, anyway. Finally, I am ready to face the challenge. Often a twirler, in his excitement, will change his pitching style. Again, he will be a bit more pinch with men on bases. If an indefender or an outfielder talks to him, he will be more attention. A series of diamond conversations might be interesting, and if the men would have to be expirate WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. Battling Mears, of Moultrie, Ga., challenges any and all heavyweights.

Most Important Change Prohibits Team on Offense From Throwing Out of Bounds When Near Opponents' Goal Line. Changes in the football rules for 1915, as announced by the official footwear manufacturer, parison to the number of changes made in former years. The most imminent change is that a team prohibits a team on the offense from throwing a ball out of bounds when near an opponent's goal line. The team must for a team, when it was forced to扑而里 in the opponent's territory, and when it was forced to go the goal line, thereby giving the opponent a chance to bring the ball out to the goal line, thereby giving the opponent a chance to make an attempted forward pass in- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER CRAVATH, PHILLIES' DEMON SLUGGER, TOO OLD FOR MAJORS FIVE YEARS AGO BENNY BROWN LIKE the elevator man, we all have our "ups and downs" in life. Consider the case of Gavvy Cravath, outfielder and slugger of Pat Moran's "Phlying Phillies." Five years ago Cravath was considered too old for the big leagues, and he drifted to the Minneapolis American Association club. For three years he remained with that team until his reputation as a long distance sticker came to the notice of the Philadelphia management, and he was promptly signed to a Philly contract. Now Gavvy is one of the most valuable men in Pat Moran's squad. As Alexander is the mainstay of the Phillies' defense, Gavvy is the most potent factor of their offense, and his long drives have broken up as many ball games this season as those of any man in either of the major leagues. He is the season's "home run king," having over twenty already to his credit, and he hopes to add a few more to the total before the final curtain.

This pass would be drawn out of bounds on the opponent's one or two-yard line, and when the ball was brought in the opponent would have to play it from there. The player is thrown out of bounds, without a player on either side touching it, it must be regarded as an incomple Eliminate Rough Work The practice of the interferers knocking down the secondary defense after the whistle has been blown has been a game-changer for the interference always to hit the secondary defense, no matter whether the man with the ball had a chance to get the ball to the fence. Off this gave no offense a chance to rough the secondary defense, which, in most cases, is composed of a team's strongest offensive team such as halfbacks and quarterbacks. The presence of a field judge has been longer keep time this duck having been relegated to the field judge, to enable the linesman to keep accurate tab on players starting b-fore slides, out of bounds and such things. A team will no longer be permitted to knock down the last period. All players must be sent back in the game at the beginning of the period. Of course, this rule does not apply to the player who Fullback Protected. The protection of the fullback on defense has been amplified, now making it more difficult for the ball to run into the fullback is penalized by fifteen yards, and roughing the fullback is penalized by disqualifications and an old-time "soostring play." The penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct was placed at fifteen yards. The penalty for a fullback of the old-time "soostring play." In snapping the ball back, the center may not hold it and thereby start another play altogether different from the feigned play, as has been frequently seen. Several rullings on disputed points were made by the football rules committee simultaneously by a player on each side, the ball goes to the side putting the ball in play. The number of a side kicking the ball touches or is touched by the ball when he is offside the ball is not necessarily dead. The side receiving the penalty play the ball and refuse the penalty. It was decided that the referee must blow his whistle when the ball is not necessarily dead. The place where it was put in play. Referees have been interpreting this rule loosely and permitting, thereby, pulling, pushing When an incomplete forward pass is made, preceded by holding in the line or an offside play by the opponents, the pass is brought back and the penalty assessed as the holding in the line or an offside play preceded the incomplete pass. THE JACKIE MOORE-EARLY MURPHY FIGHT. KANSAS CITY. Mo.—I see in your valuable paper where Early Murphy played and staged the Jackie Moore and Murphy flight, Jackie should have had the round. Moore met Murphy boring in with left hooks and upper cuts and after being knotted, he allied all through the fight, and Murphy was lucky he fell into a clinch after being knotted. He groggy. The referee said Moore had a shade all through the fight. But Murphy. But Murphy. But Murphy. Early a draw now when a decision should have been given, why Moore was the boy. He was the cleverest fighters in the ring today, white or colored, bar nobody. Jackie will meet boys in the ring at 133 lbs. rings-side. You're truly. TYRUS COBB GAINS FAME AS ALL- ROUND LEADER.

THERE'S A REASON FOR THESE STUNTS THERE'S A REASON FOR THESE STUNTS "Why is it," asks a pugilistic fan "that Sam Langford knocks out some men in one or two rounds and lets others stay the limit, although the others look like dubs?" The answer is simple. At the beginning of each bout Sam counts the house. If it's a slim house Sam knows there's no chance for a return match whereupon he finishes the other guy as quickly as possible. If it's a big house Sam lets the other guy stay the limit so that a return match will be a good drawing card. WEILMAN IS DETROIT'S JINX Cobb, Crawford and Veach Have Slim Average Against Him. The management of the Detroit Tigers would gladly hand Carl E. Wellman of the St. Louis Browns a bonus with a pension for life if he would quit pitching baseball as a means of livelihood. This tall athlete has had wonderful success against the Detroit batsmen. This is the fourth season in the American league for Wellman, and he has worked in twenty-one games against the Jennings team, losing only four games. Thus the percentage of wins credited to Wellman for his entire labors against the Tigers would stand .777. The lengthy Hamilton (O.) boy has held the combination of Cobb, Crawford and Veach as an open book. For instance, these three in fifty-five tries at the bat have succeeded in making seven base hits, giving them an average for the season of 1915 against Wellman of .127. Bobby Veach has had the best success against the curves and benders that Wellman hands down from his remarkable height of six feet six inches. Veach in eighteen times at bat made four hits, an average of .222. Cobb faced long Carl's slants sixteen times this season and garnered two base hits, giving the world's greatest batsman a batting average of .125. Then comes Sam Crawford. In twenty-one times Crawford has faced Wellman he managed to get one base hit, giving him the inglorious average of .048. THE FREEMAN IN JACKSON MISSISSIPPI.
