President Wilson is a very busy man in these days. That Henry Spann, attorney for the defense of Mayor Bell, talks right out in meetin'. Riley day was a humdinger, what ever that means. It will be taken for granted, however, that it means something great. At any rate some of the colored boys broke into the newspapers during the conspiracy trial; that's something. It isn't every man that can figure in trials of general interest. Christopher Columbia discovered America October 12, 1492. The anniversary last Tuesday was generally observed as a holiday. If we don't honor Mr. Columbus we will be basely ungrateful. He made us what we are today. Chief Sam's African colonists are getting in via consular service route, Henry Spann, in his defense of the alleged election conspirators, said that the prosecutor or prosecution was like a bumble bee, biggest when first born. With respect to Hubbard. Still fighting in Europe—nearly all of the men—while the white feet of laughing girls are pressing out the wine. The thought of anybody's feet in the wine is rather sobering. "And the must shall foam about the white feet of laughing girls."—Macaulay. 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 during the holidays. It will be an addition to the festival of commemoration for achievements during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. Talking about novels. In these days of the universal picture show the novel writer is not much in evidence. If you can get a novel every night, maybe two, presented so vividly as we are getting them it looks as if the novelist's occupation is gone. This is the day of tablets—short cuts—while you wait and so forth. Mayor Joseph E. Bell was acquitted last Wednesday of the charge of election conspiracy fraud. From the beginning of the prosecution it was not generally thought the mayor would be convicted, since it was not reasonable to think that he was personally responsible for what took place relative to the election. The acquittal is a matter for congratulation in that the state is not to become noted for sending its leading men to prison in indiana was not bummed by gagger. Tern was, and the effort to have it appear so was ill-conceived. However, the trial is not without good. Men of all parties, we dare say, will be more circumspect in the future. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is taking a hand at trying to beat back the segregation movement now on in St. Louis, Mo. In a recent circular letter, among other things, it had this to say: "The neighborhoods in which Negroes reside in any appreciable numbers would be specially given over to them, should the ordinance become a law. There is this exception, however; white men would still be able to conduct stores, saloons and other businesses in this ghetto, for the proposed law makes no provision whatever with regard to such places. Huddled together the streets in the ghetto would be permitted to get out of repair and it would be difficult to have them mended. Lighting would be poor, sanitation bad, police protection would lessen and general conditions would become intolerable because of neglect. It would be difficult indeed to arouse public sentiment sufficiently to change conditions because "only Negroes would be allowed to work" rates would naturally be higher than in other sections of the city because of lack of police and fire protection and this would add to the rent Negroes would have to pay. Landlords would be slow to repair or decorate property because Negroes could live no where else. The district would speedily become congested, because Negroes increase like other human beings, and would thus endanger health as well as bring other evils." CHIEE SAM'S EXPEDITION. The denouement stage of the Chief Sam expedition scheme has been reached. According to information seen elsewhere in this issue that philanthropically inclined gent from the land of our forebears has dismally failed in the effort to replant a goodly portion of his kith and kin on the African soil. This effort in spite of the vast difference in the inducements and opportunities in favor of our own country over that of his objective. Chief Sam was supposed to be a native African prince, and who should be celebrated for his nerve. He circulated around in Oklahoma and that vicinity, where, with a glib tongue he succeeded in drawing a few followers who cast their fortunes with him. What has resulted could scarcely have been otherwise. Chief Sam and those behind him seemed bent on making the trip because they said so rather than trying to benefit Liberia or the Negroes who sailed with the fated expedition. He did get off; he actually bought a boat, and took chances in the tub. The seas, fortunately, were not angry and the voyage was made to the vicinity of his desire. And when made it was all said and done. There is no good reason why Negroes of money, health and sense should not go to Africa in the interest of a great Negro state. There is no reason why Liberia should not be a great state. But its greatness by way of numbers or achievements does not need to be through the support of the Negroes of the United States in a colonial sense. The colony is established; the nucleus is there. The millions are in the bush waiting to be made into the new mankind. The admission of a failure to fashion this raw material is the admission of the failure of the colony to reach the height of its utmost usefulness. As Negroes go, as it concerns our kind, wherever they are, there is no improvement on the United Negroes. We are the best of the line. There could be no objection to prepared Negroes going to Liberia to help it up, but gathering up ship loads of persons just because it is possible to do so at once announces its own sequel. Chief Sam's colonists have become public charges, being sent home as consular passengers. OPPOSING SEGREGATION. The Negroes of St. Louis, Mo., are making a strenuous effort to defeat the proposed segregating measures intended for that city. No movement against the race in recent years has been so mean, insinuating and hurtful. And it is uncalled for for several reasons. In the first place the wealth of the white people practically assures exclusive districts, as undemocratic as that kind of a thing is. That very fact, the undemocratic aspect of exclusive neighborhoods, ought to be sufficient concession to those that can maintain them. Wealth is mostly responsible for this, a thing that is not a part of the creed of the republic. Capital and land are not less to say that segregation can well be discussed under that head. Wealth is its own defense in maintaining exclusive neighborhoods. The Negroes will not be admitted owing to their lack of wealth. Now and then, it is true, they break over the lines, but never in alarming numbers in any community. And if they broke over into exclusive sections in considerable numbers they will not have committed offense against the laws or propriety. We concede that there are differences between the races, perhaps, irreconcilable differences, thus unfitting that general relationship that usually exists and ought to exist in communities. For that reason we are also opposed to the wholesale assault on such communities, since it means friction of a kind which is not for the good of our race or for the public in general. This is the result of sentiment, and in which, in such instances, sometimes, at some places, is greater than the laws. The laws are helpless when it comes to regulating society as best understood, that is, our likes and dislikes cannot be legislated. But there should be a broad spirit of tolerance, reasonableness when it comes to things of pure citizenship. The white people have much the best of it in maintaining themselves exclusively, consequently it is infinitely strong, consequently it is infinitely strong, when there is no doubt about it being class legislation, the unexpected of law-making bodies. As the races find themselves living should remain, since it is the most natural way; it is more in keeping with the spirit of the republic. The fact that the letter of such laws commands the white and the colored people alike, savors of fairness. But the intent of the laws help, in determining their viciousness. Why are they made? Are they meant to injure one class rather than another? If so, they are wrong and spiritually wrong. Are the laws of the common than To drive the race into isolation is clearly the intent when the common ways of the common people is all that is expected. In the years gone by our race was accused of being thrifty; it could not accumulate, it was said. How now? The shadow of prosperity casted forward is feared. Men, white men are fleeing before it, when it promises no more than the same peaceful regard of society and the laws such as is assured by those who would segregate. Admittedly there is a large, noisy, turbulent portion among us everywhere, but they are harmless and are easily controlled by the authorities. They are as good citizens as the humber classes coming from abroad. That they are preferred workers in certain lines vouchers for this. They come into close contact with the best white people, an argument that they are not ferocious or in any way savages. This being true, much of the argument of objection on personal grounds goes. No, we are simply opposed as a race. So far and no farther is the word regardless of who or what you are. HAITIAN AFFAIRS. Says an observer of Haitian affairs: "Owing to the disturbance in Europe, Haiti has escaped general notice, but not the notice of this government." Perhaps this is true, and if so, it is not a striking truth. We cannot see how Europe would be any more specially concerned at this time, in event there were no war, than at other times of Haitian ruction. It may be, however, that the island has been going more rapidly than it has been since a crisis of some kind was imminent that seriously threatened the lives and investments of foreigners. We rather think that the writer had such a situation in mind. Haiti has been behaving very bad in the recent past, perhaps, worse than those knew who were not intimately acquainted with its affairs. The time, seemingly, had come when it was absolutely necessary for our government or some other, to step in to save the country to the islanders, and in the meanwhile avert an entanglement with other nations nant the security of life and property. The Monroe doctrine plainly announced that it was the duty of the United States to interfere if it would keep the doctrine inviolate. And beyond this somewhat selfish aspect, it is our duty to police the western hemisphere when it is done for the good of mankind. A recent article in the New York Sun shows how we are doing our duty in Haiti. Read Admiral William B. Caperton, U. S. N., is the individual in charge. Everything must come by him in the name of his country. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER It is true there is a president, one Dartigueau, and who is the executive because he is supported by Capeton's guns. And this very entrenched position is but a faithful likeness of the hold other presidents have had on the office and the affections of the people. Dr. Henry Furniss, of this city, now in Germany, formerly ambassador to Haiti, intimated that the legislators who elected the president were free to cast their votes as they saw fit but an armed guard at the doors greatly influenced their decision. So that country is having nothing new by way of heroic government as administered by the rear admiral. The Sun has it written here that the president isious to get an unobstructed view of the president along the barrel of a rifle." The militant spirit if wholesomely exerted would be the object of admiration, but it is not in the interest of that patriotism which means a united and peaceful country. It is in the interest of graft, in the interest of political parasites who are sucking their country's life blood, and who have no thought of the republic's tomorrow. "When Admiral Caperton first went to Haiti the last semblance of government had been abandoned, and there was a evolution on every street corner. He was a naval officer with instructions to make short work of parties of outlaws posing as revolutionists. He issued an order to revolutionists had officially come to an end. Men opposing the government were no longer allowed to carry weapons, gave the marines a margin of safety, and after firing a few shots into the air they succeeded in quelling the disturbance. Martial law was then established and the military body to stop its quibbling and elect a president. This was done with native natives who were glad to obey a man who would take no back talk, and who was in a position to enforce his orders. Caperton then announced that he was to preside in whatever he did. We, the Negroes, are inclined to turn up our noses, when possible, at the assertions of white men when it comes to adjusting affairs of the kind. And there have been reasons for this skepticism. It is true that savage nations and weak nations have benefited in the end by the contact with white men, but the impact of the collision will not be forgotten. The strong nations of modern times, fortunately, have been merciful, very seldom pushing the conquest to extermination. The savage and weak have often lived to see their fortunes bettered, losing that figment of liberty after their own manner, and which is of the same order as that traced in the marrow of all mankind. The native is best desired in a land of origin, estate, sufficient land for the making a county. In principle he is right, for he found himself possessed with the "goods," and as he views it owns authority to God only. But civilization comes along; it has something to offer in exchange, not so much in quantity, but in value. It is also right in principle, since many gain by its exchange and the individual loses nothing. Some such operations have obtained in the latter day, happenings between the classes to which we have referred. The Haitians have that ground assurance and more. They will not be dispossessed, but, according to the present program, they will be set up as completely for housekeeping as a newly-wedded pair. in good circumstances. We need not be skeptical in this instance. Haiti had but one more plunge to make before winning the conquest and to achieve the slavery and not political subjection, as some might think. Canada is an example of political subjection, yet it is like an elder daughter of England, doing practically as she pleases. And the relations are so pleasant that severance is not thought of. We are not getting away from the fact that Haiti is as free and independent as the United States. Some set this truth forward as a reason that that country should continue in its ways, thus threatening to embroil the western hemisphere. In such a case it is the duty to save our lives if possible, as we are trying to do in Mexico. Peace in Mexico means lives saved and investments protected. It means that foreign governments will have no excuse for seizing the country and putting it under siege, spirit of reprisals for wrongs inflicted on foreign citizens. In short, the disturbances in one of the republics is a menace to our own peace. And if peace cannot be assured by ordinary methods then self-preservation dictates heroic methods. Haiti will gain immensely by the timely interference on the part of the United States. ARTHUR R. ROBINSON FOR U. S. SENATOB. Arthur R.

On October 9th, we closed our two weeks' return engagement in the city of Richmond and Mr. Tolliver can well see how much we have grown. The show has had a grand success and has made a great record. Three weeks in July and just closed two weeks, make it a great time to show the way the people turned out at each performance showed that the big show has more than pleased them. The audience was smoothed and everyone is preparing for the winter. A few new overcooks made their appearance last week.

Original Rags' monologue is a scream from start to end, "Big Lump of Coal," nicely. Takes an encore with his latest number, "Rags." In this song he has a verse for every song, it is really a catchy little number. Daniels & Daniels are making their third successful week here. Mrs. Daniels is scoring heavy with "My Loving Sam."

Owsley, Mgr.) It has been said many times in recent days that the playlet has got to be careful. Virgil was to go altogether, but it cannot hold up the colored stage alone. The performance of course, did not care to surrender it to the playwright, but the loss of personality, and pain haps, money. All cannot shine equally because the players are nearer eating equally. The companies bring in more patrons, they can stay at the theater, and the ordering order is generally on hand for the patrons. The vaudeville, pure and simple, had gotten so that the performer unless of his next move. It is plain that there must be mixed bills—sometimes vaudeville, sometimes theater patrons are beginning to appreciate the playlets even when no more than burlesques must be most of them are today. The patrons of the theater, the patrons are just as well prepared for it as the performers. Is that a reason? Yes. it means get ready for the "least." This week's bill of the Chicago Follies was not so continuously a playlet of the tabloid order, a change from the vaudeville idea, helpful since the vaudeville idea follows the nounced playlets of last week. The caller, was rich in material. There was liberty of action for the performer, and the audience enjoyed the change. Dixie Beasley. Dixie Beasley opened up in the ollo, and she sang, "tomorrow," "burryndy," and "seas." She has a fine vaudeville voice, or can perform; she was nicely received by voice; she was finely built, being finely built, a little stout, but fine proportioned. She costumes finely, and she is dressed during the run of the evening where she has good account of herself as a performer. Perrin and Crosby. Perrin and Crosby surprised their many friends by their excellent work. They got away from their former teacher, and they met the medley of popular song singing was a pleasing and refreshing number. Miss Crosby distinguished herself last week by doing them in a way that is deserving of attention. As a little school miss Gertie Brown Moore. she was no more than fourteen years of age, looked it and acted it. Terrifying, she was in his various roles. This week he excels in his Chinman stunt. He stunted a Miss Crossbill, quarred as a Miss Crossbill, and again looked the part. His strong voice and comedy work was interrupted for several Miss Crossbill by sings "Rock Me in the Cradle of Club," and in keeping with all of his friend, he was seen to spindle advantage. Coffey and the Girls of All Nations. Coffey has the turn of the wheel with Coffey, assisted by Goldie Crosby, Gertie Brown, Dixie Beasley and Eva Harris, is another original with Coffey and a happy diversion. He shows fine ability at offhand funnaking, making clever moves before him. He hits rather hard at times, but the audience likes it, even if the girls close reminds one a trifle of "Every Woman" in that the characters parade in front of him, him suit for an interesting monologue. The girls are beautifully costumed, Dixie Beasley, a Mexican, Goldie Crosby, the Indian, and Eva Harris, girl from the good old U. S. A. The closing is picturesque and evasive. It was appreciated all through. Tim Moore, Uncle Tom and the Rest of Them. Tim Moore, the inimitable, proved a riot in his one man act of the well-known characters of that play, and his work is extremely farcical, but nevertheless entertaining because of the well-known characters of that play. But that fact solely, that nearly every person has seen the real Uncle Tom's Tomb, the grave and the Uncle Tom at once; he daubed one side of his face white with a few tones from his powder box. But here you are, Legrie, the cruelest of masters and Uncle Tom, the best of slaves. As a comedian one can easily imagine how he made this go by his dialogues actions. He reached the climax of Eva in the other world. This is Moore's own arrangement and he wants it to be his engagement. Prof. Quicksteep, Sid Perrin and his Sante girl is a neat dancing turn, also a feature turn, suitable to please any The deaf and blind stunt between Moore and Coffey was funny, every minute of it. Both are clever comedians. The songs and chorus were bright musical numbers and they added to the gayety of the occasion. The band used little skit, "The Right Wrong Brothers. After the entanglement was strenued out, then for the use male by male, the company of the policeman of it was Pick Hill. STAGE GOSSIP Mrs. Riley, of J. C.

At the suggestion of friends, Alex-* *eon of the Tolliver has abandoned the use* *of the Tolliver to enterprise, which for the past three* *months has been touring Virginia and* *theatrical comedy company.

Dudley and Salem Tutt* *Warner, who have staged all the* *shows in that time since the days* *of Ernest Hogan Mogul.* cates a fine sense of propriety in re-fraining from using a name that can stand in confusion misunderstandings, in confusion sections, in country, and perhaps lay the foundation of a lawsuit for infringement on the mark that has become a valuable asset to the rightful owners. Happily, "The Birth of a Nation" gives the nation's capital a wide berth. Frederico DeBotts has resumed his duties as stage manager at Dudley's. Marcus Loew retains photophases at the newly-acquired Columbia, in lieu of polite vaudeville, as planned. --- Coleman L. Minor, a Washington, boy, who has won fame as a comedian, is running the Lincoln theater at East Liberty, Pa. "The Smart Set," with Whitney, Tutt Blanche Thompson and the "Bunny" Packed houses nightly, "George Washington Bullion" is a "scream." More anon. The "Two Sweets" are at Dudley's this week and getting their accustomed share of appreciation. Mrs. Lu-ric has recovered from the team, has recovered from the effects of her accident of a fortnight ago. Miss Helen Harper Clinton, late of "The Smart Set," has gone to Yuma, Arizona, to spend the winter with her mother, Mrs. Kathryn Crosen Harper, who was known to Indianapolis years a leading contralto and dramatic reader. --- The Palace Garden, G street southwest, Beverly and Adams, managers, Iceland, 1st and K streets southwest, operated by M. Coleman. Both did a successful business throughout the summer. Howard Theater was gorgeously and artistically dressed with the iconic colors during G. A. R. week. Dudley's Theatrical Enterprises, at 1853 G street, hung its banners on the balcony and offered extra attractions in honor of the veterans. Miss Minnie Hackloss, the liveliest little artist hereabouts, after spending a week in Baltimore, renewed old acquaintances last week at Dudley's and met with a warm reception. She had already filled her room with a ballooning, playing the Iceland and Palace Garden. She is being capable assisted by a partner, well known to the stage manager. . . . Colored theatrical managers, here and elsewhere, should read and inquire in the articles that appear from time to time on the dramatic pages of the press. The colored performer should do likewise, the former and the public can be gotten together under sympathetic circumstances and stronger team-work will be required to know what the other is thinking, doing and planning to do. The vandalee folks are making a desperate effort to have the Chelsea, Foraker and Fairyland resume the use of the theatrical facilities. The impression is general that it would be a good paying investment if the west-end houses would put on a show and the managers, by combination, could get excellent rates by assuring an artist of four to six continuous hours in the city, working over the local circuit. --- The Musical Seminotes (Paul Sims and little son), have become better and more popular, in the audiences by their gilt-edged work in the past fornight at Dudley's and the Howard, where they took extra time to introduce the interaction given by their tuneful selections on the zylophone, bells, mandolin and guitar. Mr. Sims, typical Indian musician, has the "papoose's" dancing specialty are features that "take." The "make-up" of the pair cannot be excelled. Washington admirers of Miss Abbie Mitchell (and their names are legion) are the most famous in the role of a contract jumper. Miss Mitchell is the soul of honor in the matter of keeping an agreement and the fact that when she falls to live up to her role she is not in the contract it is because she is not in the agreement justice. With the exchange of diplomatic notes between the parties involved, the St. Louis misunderstands that now be regarded as a closed incident. Washington renews its demand for Billy King's Players. They get off to a bad start here, but their work in the company indicates that they are an aggregator of class, and only need a chance to deliver the goods. Mr. King is natural at insurgent instantiating manager and character. Mrs. King not ability. Mrs. King (Miss Hattie Mcintosh) is a capable assistant and possesses a versatility that fits her role in the society queen. It is hoped that Managers Thomas and Dudley will get together and send the Billy King Playbook to this territory. They will "make good." S. H. Dudley and William Ramsey have gone westward to open a long tour over the hard winter time, at the over the hard winter time at the Howard, where they put on a brand-new act. In recognition of the G. A. Ramsey in an original creation, "A Member of the G. A. R." clothed in the height of the G. A. R., and joined through tactics that would have involved Sherman back to life could have witnessed them. The versatile will have a vogue, "He's My Cousin I will have a vogue, 'He's My Cousin I she's Your Nice." Will Ramsey, whose wife is wine, seems to grow better with age, and he tenor solo, "When I Leave the World Behind." Packed houses were the brightly during the Dudley-Ramsey season. Saturday night was once admitted to be a "frost," and little or no effort was put forth to make it a box-office feed; rivals the famous Monday night in the size and representative character of the audiences. Standing room is at a premium long before the door closes, but it is possible for this remarkable transformation. Within the past month, in addition to vegetables and minion fruits, Mimi Thomas has been handling out as "capital prizes" such valuable presents as bed, bed, four-piece library set, child closet, owl rug, rug x12 and leather cushioned rockers, etc. Everybody in town seems anxious to take a chance and Saturday night is making event. Dudley is also doing a fine "country store" Saturday night business.

(By Herbert T. Meadows.) The Russell-Owens Company are closing up a three year store in St. Louis, a Booker Washing-ton store, in a blaze of glory. The shows presented by these players have given better satisfaction than any of the class seen here. The cast is unhappy and strong, and all the parts are well written, "the Woman," a Mexican drama, is this week's offering and is holding up the play. The company pany in "Jessamine," two weeks ago. The success the company has enjoyed the criticism noted in the Freeman a few weeks ago, regarding their Chihuahua company, the company must have been stronger as now, as two well reputed performers have since withdrawn. This set of movies, which we have received satisfaction of any Chicago has sent us in many months, and we fail to see the movie. We believe it is only justice to Messrs. Russell and Owens and their capable players that should please any audience. They have three good clean interesting plays that should please any audience. They carry themselves with respect. The wardrobe is extra large and the girls all good-looking. St. Louisians expect that will welcome a return engagement. THE DOUGLASS THEATRE. (By L. B. Maund, Pianst.) Macon, Ga., October 11, 1915.

When they these parasites flounder about helplessly and hopelessly in a slough of ignorance, they are if properly cultivated, the yield will be abundant, and we need never fear for draughts or famine, but we need grow fampamp, under our advancement and choke our very existence, because our parents said it or the other taught it. A thing is no longer risky because our parents said it or the other taught it. We must work out each problem to its conclusion and prove it to our own satisfaction. In this way we can otherwise unobtainable. After this one must have courage to follow one's convictions, knowing one is right though all the world should say one is Mr. R. W.

The show is running about two hours and fifteen minutes regularly. The band is wonderful and perfect satisfaction under the personal direction of Prof. Alonzo Montgomery. The orchestra gets much applause nightly, after playing its overture. A new and novel addition to the olo is the comedy quartet that organizes the quartet. Ed Farrar provokes much laughter and always takes from two to three bows. They are in rehearsal so they can take an active everybody seems to be well and well pleased with their lot. The members of the quartet are very funny. Walt Wallace (tenor), Frank (tuba) (barrine), Teddy (Teddy Redman) (bass) and Pearl Moppin, is still causing trouble with the bows and no encores.

We have just left the State of Oklahoma and are now in the Lone Star State of Texas, and business remains the same. We are still in the morning. Our show is still as good as ever. We have with us now the one and original Happy Howe, the one and original Ben, the one and also Mr. Lewis of the late A. G. Allen's Minstrels, is with us, and is more than making good. Our grand spectacular first part of 36 people is here. Mr. William Earl is opening the show, singing "I Ain't Earl'sobby." Miss Johanna Lane still gets hers, singing "Wonder My Loving Man Is Gone." Mr. Sam Moons, our Southern voice, will take on tenure, then comes the original Happy Howe, singing "I Am Gorgeous." Carlo O'Brien then comes the original Happy Howe, singing "I Am Gorgeous." O'Brien is singing with success "A Curse of an Aching Heart." Miss Lillie Clark gets her share of applause singing "Interior," and then the audience in Scott keeps the audience in an uproar. Mr. Clark is singing "The Town Where I Was Born." Mr. Clark introduces twelve to fourteen minutes of novel and eccentric Juggling, then comes Mr. Happy Earl, who keeps the audience in uproar of laughter from start to finish. The team of Riley and E.

Luke Scott and his wife, Ethelyn, are two of the big hits with the Smart Set company that owns the cookbook and others for a short trip in the country just across the Potomac from Washington, to little farm he has provided there for his mother. We met his mother, a woman nearly three score and ten, but she sheds her hair with motherly love and beaming with true Southern hospitality. Her hair is white, but there are no furrows in her cheeks nor wrinkles in her brow, for she is not allowed to worry, and the sorrows that she has been endured by the loving hands of dutiful children. An effort to describe the corn bread, home-made butter, butter-milk just from the churn, chicken potpie and innumerable dishes, winding the peach cobbler, such as only the old-time Southern mother can cook. It is needless to say we all ate far beyond the capacity of a fessionation who has a mother or father at home should provide for them with the peach cobbler, such as only the old-time Southern mother can cook. It is needless to say we all ate far beyond the capacity of a fessionation who has a mother or father at home should provide for them with the peach cobbler, such as only the old-time Southern mother can cook. We may hope for happiness or success if we disobey the commandment: “Honor thy father and mother, and the days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” The Hon. Calvin Chase, the vigorous and fearless editor of the Washington Belle, said some mighty nice things of Washington, including the New Jersey Washington Billion Abroad." Mr. Chase is a close observer of things theatrical and when those who know say that they about us are doubly appreciated. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, has been a close friend of yours truly, and the Smart Set company for many years. He is acquainted with the actors, the musicians, and none seem happier than he we have at last achieved a real success. When we say "a real success" we are quoting Mr. Wilson's own words. Tolliver and Chappelle are scoring a real hit at Dudley's Theater. They are the original Chinese and are meeting success everywhere it is presented. New Yorkers thought so well of the theater that we will play a return day at the Dudley Theater the week of the 11th. his famous concert band of eighteen pieces never fails to win the heart of many.

SEEING THE GOLMAR BROTHERS The Gollmar Bros' shows, the greatest of all little ones, making it hot for the big ones. Always big crowd. The parade can't be beat. All wardrobes look as good as new. Fine looking stock, plenty of good music, first band and a great smile. Smiling, then one of the most beautiful line-ups, with Prof. J. A. Harris' band. Smiling, then them prance; Miss Bartell playing the air callo in parade with her sweetest melodies; then Shorty Pride and then the big band, which is the main feature of the concert. Through the menagerie you see the main feature, the largest hippopotamus, some of the main features are Prof. H. W. Winzut's big concert band, which always gives one of the best performances. Some of the bella Sisters in their iron-jawed act, which is a drawing band; Eddie Dorey, the Rube clown, also the head clown, the Rube clown, also the head clown, Loos, the premier aerialists, also D. Jackson, keep them spellbound. Dressback's trained seals are the best ever, can't be spoken of too highly, Mr. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

Harris sends his regards. Pop Ada, Thomas P. Kelly's Cotton Pickers' Minstrels. THE RABBIT'S FOOT COMPANY AT GREENVILLE, MISS. GREENVILLE, Miss. Oct. 5. — The Rabbit's foot company played here last week. The show is good and also the band. They introduced some new songs and classy comedians and specialty artists. T. H. Dumas, the star comedian, is a scream from him. He is a natural comedian and is really funny in everything he does. "Dewayman Niles a Special Feature" When the artistic form of this fashion brand is incomparable, the audience greeted him with an outburst of applause. We are compelled to pronounce his "incomparable," for he has an ornate collar, colour suit, an orange necklace, suit tights, adorned with iridescent spangles and fiery brilliant rhinestones. He wore an orange dress given up to be the greatest of all contortions since the early days of the great Marsh Craig. Dewayman Niles is worth the price of admission. This being his third appearance here with the same company this season, he as much as possible gives his act, which makes it better than ever. He would be quite a drawing man Niles also does a classy ballet dance (to dance), made up as a female. This dance can be classed with the same company, the famous white ballet dancers. He is the most to toe dancer ever seen here. Two years ago, when he was with the O'Brien's company fell short of women. He made a female and worked as a chorus girl. So artistic and attractive did he work to toe dancer. Too much tire choreo. Too much cannot be said of this famous artistic emotional artist. Whatever his salary is, he is certainly very penny of it. We hope to have him appear in our city again some day. HONOR P. G. LOWERY. Prof. George W. Jackson Entertained P. G. Lowery and His Band With Richard and Pringles' Min- ister Topeka, Kas, Sept. 27. 1915.

After the performance of the minstrel a committee was waiting for the members of the minstrel club to arrive, and their hall, which we decorated for the occasion, where refreshments were served in bountiful quantities. After the concert, members of the company and Prof. Jackson's Band the noted director, Prof. Jackson, the banded director, Prof. and wielded the baton while his band of thirty-two members rendered a few special effects applauded by the minstrel company and the large crowd that gathered to welcome G. S. to his home town, where he was born. At the atwe hour of three they all left with praises for Prof. Jackson and the best local band in the middle west. THE GOOD BOOK SAYS "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL."

Daus and Boehler Work on the Mound. owne Bush's All-Stars had too much power for A. B. C's at Federal Park Stadium for the A. B. C's down for the count. That score was 5 to 2. George Dauzas, of the Detroit Tigers, hung on nipples of the hats, one was found for only one, one a bunt and the other a misaligned fly. George Boehler, also of the Detroit Tigers, snuck for a single. The big league curves had the A. B. C's guessing and twelve of them went out on strikes. **veach Hits to Left.** "Dizzy" Dismukes, the colored wonder, tried his best. The wallpops were glamorous in his delivery. Boby Vee, Tiger offsider got against one of Dismukes' offerings and one of the wallpops left for two on the bases at the time. Elmer Dugan was another extra-base knocker. Bush stole a base, scored two runs and got a one-base knock. He's AB MANAGER C. I. TAYLOR. the same agile Ownie, only he looks better than ever.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Kid Snead, the Louisville welterweight, would like to arrange a match with any welterweight in the city, and he would hear from promoters and fight clubs acceded to a match to take place any answer to any place. Address all answers to the Phillips, 219 West Green street, Louisville, Ky. Little Arthur Stigall, a colored scraper independence, Kas, who claims the lightweight relationship the colored race, is in this match. He a match with Red Sanders, the local scraper. Stigall proposes to remain in the city, and he should have an enviable record and history. A. B. C.S WILL VISIT CUBA. Manager C. I. Taylor, of the A. B. C.s baseball club, has given it out that the club will start for Cuba in a few days, and that it will stay of not less than four weeks is expected, during which time the larger cities will be visited. In fact, those cities will be visited by the sufficient baseball spirit and support to make it worth while. Manager Taylor will be accompanied by the players of an extraordinary opportunity to see a bit of the outside of the United States, consequently he wishes com- plete training with fellow baseball players. He says that the trip will not be personally profit- able to him, owing to the double ex- pensive looks forward to it with much joy. It is not certain at this time what clubs the A. B. C.s will engage. Taylor will be with one of the two clubs in which he has been in communication for some time, after which arrangements will be made as are warranted by circum- Taylor's men are also eager and anxious to go abroad to cross bats in Australia and to travel to another country. It means much to them as individuals and as a club. Individually, the members will enjoy the sights and experiences of the country. It means profit in that it will gain prestige from the fact that it has been abroad. If the trip is successful, it will be greatly enhanced. As a thing of distinction the visit will push the A. B. C's ahead of any other team of colored players in this country. Rube "Oster" takes them all, and extensively, but all within the United States, if we are not mistaken. Twice this team has taken in California and New York, and which, dially received. The A. B. C's will outclass the American Giants in the matter of travel, and which brought them to the two clubs. And this will be for the best if the managers will see it that way. Popularity makes for financial success. The best clubs that are most popular prove the best drawing cards. Of course, it will be conceded that the strongest club in the country is the other distinctions which help in making clubs popular. For instance, Ty Cobb adds greatly to the popularity of the country whether it is a penant winner or not. The A. B. C.s as individual players have not reached the point where they attract greatly, though some of them are coming to dominate of individual distinction. Dismukes, the pitcher, is very good. If he holds up at his present winning streak for a few years he will be a special attraction. The pitcher, in the day, Matthewson, Hans Wagner, and line were years in the making, but they were diamonds and stood the war. The A. B. C.s are particularly fortunate in having the opportunity to make the most of their time, they will be in the limelight. They have been very much in evidence since Taylor took charge, but from the time he will expect much of them. The men will feel the greater responsibility, realizing that they stand for the very best in America's great game of baseball. It has been definitely decided that the A. B. C.s baseball club will visit Cuba, leaving this city about the 20th of this month. It is scheduled to play at Alameda, Havana, Cuba, October to November 21. GREAT ARMY BALL GAME. SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, H. T, September 22—One of the most exciting games in life was played at the Athletic baseball park of this far away Hawaiian post yesterday. The First U. S. Infantry (white) and the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry (colored). The Twenty-fifth Infantry was concerned, and in any event it meant that the victors would be the first to play and the department for the next twelve months, although the First Regiment did have it, but will not play them now, useless). Considering the fact that the members of our regiment are all the duties incidental to soldier life, their record as amateur ball players is a record of our post position years since the regiment has been in these islands the team has played 54 games for our post position. In 1913 played 21 games, lost one, won 20: in 1914 played 21 games, won 20, lost one: in 1915 played 12 games, lost one: in 1916 played it has lost only three. Can this record be beaten by any amateur team anywhere in the country, or in the The personnel of the team has changed almost completely since 1913, including new pitchers and star batters, until today there is little doubt but that we lead the army in first-class material until matters are settled, the circumstances of these islands. But I started out to tell your readers about the game. Seven of them were sitting in a room, aggregating about 7,000 in attendance at the game, and of all the rooting, yelling, blowing of the ball, the scoring, the sorts of instruments, backed up by the regimental trumpet and drum corps, and the 7,000 throats of the spectators, who were called at 2 p. m. it was a fast game from the start. In the first inning, the first pitcher ran and the Twenty-fifth two. In the second inning the First Infantry got home again for the last time until the game was over. In the next two innings, but began to pile up scores from the fourth inning, on until at the end of the game the team had colored boys. All of the scores made by the First Infantry were won on the men played remarkably well, and with them have been a shutout game. But the men played remarkably well, and with them the pitcher's pitcher box and the great Rogan of Company B behind the home plate, Old Swinton on first base; Woods, center; and the fast and wonderful pitcher, Winnie. But there were about as many good players left back on the bench as were on the diamond—men who had pitcher's get a swat at the First Infantry's goal. The star plays were made by Johnson when he knocked a home run so far to center that he hurtled around the diamond, sat down, dinned himself before the ball had been found thrown to the home plate. The other THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER play was Woods of Woods F made almost a back hand spring catch of Buckland's fly to center and thus ended the most sensational game ever in the championship. That made yoke scribe sob for joy was when dear old Daddy Swinton laid a roller off a bat-alt it down right at his feet and then beat it like hell for first, got there and scored his man to be made an angel weep for mere ecstacy. The Twenty-fifth are still the champions in the lead, and it looks as if they have a monopoly on the cups and banners in this part of the world. The riot of banners and great silver and gold loving cups. We shall have to get a special train to take away our trophies if this thing keeps up. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, with Mervest and the children, has returned home from his vacation, where he and his family spent a most enjoyable time among the wonders of the city will be delivered by the chaplain at the amusement hall in the near future. It is looked forward to by the men of the The Scott Literary Society is progressing under the able guidance of the chaplain. Many new men coming to take interest in city's work. Soon the regimental school will have a new student and judging from the great interest manifested at present there will be a large enrollment. H. M. Merge, Co. H, 25th Infantry. Q. M. Merge, Co.

McCarthy, renowned race horse dealer heir to the family manager of Kid Finney, the seasonal Pittsburgh colorled flash for over eight years, will grow up the game to understand the part ownership of a large manufacturing company this fall. McCarthy, who a number of years ago owned and ran several boxing clubs in different cities of the United States and named M. K. Finney over eight years ago, and developed him into one of the greatest colored fighting machines of the 1960s, he gave a glimpse of the great little fighting flash of today, when he put him in the Dutchman, who was then training for ANOTHER VERSION OF THE RUS SELL-WILLIAMS MILL. EXPERT COLORED GOLFERS-WALTER SPEEDY WINS CHAMPIONSHIP. Chicago, Ill. The first golf tournament ever pulled off at Montreal at Montreal golf links, Thursday, October 7, to decide the championship, which was won by Mr. Wendy Wendy. Winter weather failed to daunt enthusiasm displayed between players and the crowd. The white ball was white. There were not more than seventy-five onlookers to brace the cold winds and threatening snow. There were also snow and white showed much appreciation in applauding each player's play. The contest was a 36-hole match. Player A scored 106, scores for the first 18 holes qualified for the championship. They were Bottoms, Wright, Speedy and Burton. Players to qualify for the tournament were Pankey, Duncan, Perry and Carter. Mr. Bert Burton, of Marion, Ind., played the first hole, but was closely trailed by Speedy and Wright. The wind blew Burton's ball o' the course at the final hole, but was closely trailed by Speedy and Wright. pulled in a 6 bogey, while Burton took 8, causing him to finish one down. He hit the 10th hole at Speedy 92, Wright 92, Burton 93, Bottoms quitting at the 29th hole from chills after playing a wonderful game for the championship. For city honors: the 29th hole at Speedy 92, Wright 92, Bottoms dropping out at the twenty-fifth hole. All would have liked to see him finish, as he came all the way from New York for the game. Speedy and Wright played off the tie, Speedy winning one up. These two holes were 18 holes for three and one-half hours to gain supremacy of the black golfers. Theo. Pankey, who was a big favorite, did not strike his stride until the 29th hole at Speedy 92, Wright 92, Bottoms couldn't get his putter to work. Mr. Perry broke his driver, which retarded his game. Mr. Duncan finished strong at the 29th hole at Speedy 92, Wright 92, Bottoms drives were wonderful and unbeatable. After the game a swell dinner was given to the players of the day. Burton's drives were molded in golf style, which suited the occasion. Mr. Theo. Pankey, president of the AAA Golf Club, speaks at length of having ever played games for next year's championship games. BICKNELL BRAVES WIN.

THE JACK RUSSELL AND LEW WILLIAMS MIX-UP. Sporting Editor The Freeman. Jack Russell of Montgomery, colored lightweight champion of the world, and the most successful rounds at the Airdrome A. C. Monday night, October 4. These two boys weighed in at 1 a'clock. Lew Williams at 14 pounds, Russell weighed in at 137 1-4 pounds. Russell was supposed to fight Williams at 14 pounds, weight. But Russell after being in Savannah, would not show any yellow by not taking Williams on at that weight. Russell is the gamest lightweight that has ever won a game, and clever and carries a dangerous wallop in either hand. Friday evening, when Russell and Bill Russell are in action, the largest crowd ever seen turned out to watch the champion Russell training. Russell did some rope skipping and also some clever shadow boxing. Now, I must say for Russell and Bill Russell to be dangerous lightweight in the ring, and Russell seems to fear nothing. But now Russell is dangerous Look at this Williams. He has 18 pounds on --- Russell, but if he can win over Russell he will have to go some. Respectfully yours, IKE GRIFFIN, Fighter and Trainer. Now challenging him at 168 pounds, bar nothing. Address all mail to Pekin Theater, Savannah, Ga. THE GREATEST NEGRO CHAM PION AMATEUR RUNNER TO RETIRE.

Gans has never seen a real clover and hard-hitting man in action, was unable to the just decision and still keep Jackies friendship called the bout a draw. If K.
