The corner-stone of the Berry O'Kelly Training School in Wake county, S. C., near Raleigh, was laid on Labor Day, and the building is a magnificent one and cost $10,000. Part of the money was furnished by the state, part by the county, and by private citizens. Mr. O'Kelly, in whose honor the school is named, gave $500. The corner-stone address, the county and the state, head of the Muskox order of the state. Prof. C. N. Hunter is principal of the O'Kelly school, and the remainder of considerable wealth, being worth fully $75,000, and is a power of good in his community. He was one of the center-stone attraction at the recent Eosport business league. The National Negro Business League. Is the doubt gaining ground relative to the election of additional A. M. E. Gaines, the vice president of A. L. Gaines for the bench, the resolutions adopted by Baltimore delegates to the general conference stated their desire to allow the said general conference shall deem it advisable to elect additional bishops, pledged themselves to the honorable means to secure the election of Dr. Gaines provided the general conference additional bishops advisable." 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. The Boyds are there with the goods, 365 days in the year. There are 9,000,000 spinisters—we must not call them "old males" on the American continent. This indisputable, marriable inhabitant does not "onto their jobs" St. Paul, whose wisdom has never been doubted among rational folks, has enunciated the doctrine that every man should get married, and that the Divine injunction embracing the idea that man should take a mate, and multiply and replenish the earth. In the name of the 9,000,000 unattached women of our own blood and kindred, we urge every man who has a job to "tie up" at once with a delightful bit of femininity and a sense of pride. Cultivated and refined colored women is abundant, and in size, height, and complexion are sufficiently varied to suit any taste, no matter how fastidious. Too much praise cannot be lavished upon Mrs. Paul Laurence Dunbar for her universal suffrage. 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. A community that is fortunate enough to hear Mrs. Dunbar will be convinced of the correctness of her stand. It is the general feeling of the country that organizations should get together on the matter of holding their meetings in contiguous territory in their respective years. 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. BIGGER CLOSES MOST SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE YEAR—THE ODD FEL- LOWS' EXCURSION. (By J. O. Blagburn, Pueblo, Colo.) Rev. T. T. Biggers, pastor of St. John, Adjacent to Church, on the 12th inst. closed the school year, on the 12th inst. year in the history of St. John. Comes to work in a Kansas conference, Rev. Biggers enters a work in a new field with a degree of proficiency in the same period by any pastor. The entrant man, we trust, will return to this school during the ensuing twelve months. The Odd Fellows' excursion to Stone City on the 1st inst. was a decided decision. Three coaches conveyed a large crowd accompanied by the Fraternal Band, to this pleasure resort, where all kinds of sports were participated in by all, and the students were awarded in prizes to the successful contestants. O. U. Bray, as chairman of the arrangements committee, assisted by six toy members of the lodge, Mr. Ned Bean, after an absence of several months, is in the city and will be found at the popular Oklahoma bar, where Mr. and Mrs. Bean are stopping with Mr. Bean's brother, W.

Sherman Keel spent several days in returning to Fueblo Saturday morning.

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. Make your orders payable to S. P. Harris, secretary. If you in your orders here directly, you supply with literature until mattresses are in shape to get possession of that which rightly belongs to the school. 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.

He is a good clean comedian and sure knows how to act. Every woman and child likes Clif. Geo. Taylor's friends were glad to see him back on the stage again; in fact, when he was billed to appear Monday night, the team had to go to Stock Co. 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. Klein, of the Consolidated Yauderie Exchange, Chicago, IL, placed him on matrii Tatiana route to Louisville, Ky., looking up new business. Cooper and Smith paid the Lincoln a visit this week.

With less stolen bases to the credit of the Taylor aggregation the All-Stars were the winner. Was was the A. B. C.s got away with a rush at the start of the first game in the play, no noon.

No better comment nor a better time could any company have than the Walker Imperial Players. hours and forty-five minutes; only one show a night; change of bill each week. A company has two scenic artists, who furnish special scenery with each week's show. Costumes are designed by a competent wardrobe mistress. when employees make look like a real road art fact, Walker is anticipating taking the company on the road for a short tour.

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. Kibble's world's greatest production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will appear at the walt of October 4th, with matinees daily. Mr. Wm. H. Kibble has successfully solved the problem of committing, in a big spectacular play that leaves out nothing worth retaining of either story or character. All worthy features of the old landmarks are retained, while the thread of the story is toward forming, making it more coherent. This, with the introduction of a host of high class specialties thoroughly entertained toward forming an evening's entertainment it will be a real loss to miss witnessing, the city people care with the company and two Pullman palace cars, each seventy feet in length, are used to transport this mammoth aggregation from city to city.

BILLY KING'S PLAYERS AT THE GRAND—BLACK PATTI RE-MAINS POPULAR. Billy Higgins. Comedian. In this particular, Mr. Higgins has naw proved that he occupies a place in the history of greater reputation. Beware that was a clever old man. King did some good droll humor; Archie Jones and Gertrude Saunders gave a love scene in the story of a factory and everything indicates that Billy King will have a prolonged sea- Billy Higgins son. Margaret Jackson and Doc Stainge have retired from the company and two new actors have been engaged in the orchestra with Dan Parker, the new trap drummer, is improved, but the orchestra with Mrs. Harrison, a good pianist on the stage, was all just to toil in soft music for Black Patti's songs. Anita Patti Brown and Roland W. Hayes Sing From Aida at Quinn. Higher than perfect perfection. So I took a run down to Quinn Chapel church to see Roland W. Hayes, the Boston tenor, who told me at the door that I must pay admission. I know what heatheats me, and I know what opera at the Auditorium. I was late, but just in time for the excerpts. 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.

IKE 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 Associa- ‘tion 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 4s 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 elther 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 be- fore the final curtain. stead of a punt.
