Freeman Bureau 3763 Wabash Avenue. Telephone, Douglass 6620. Chicago, Ill., October 20.—Developments here today upon the arrival of His Excellency, the Mayor J. Hale Thompson, the deputy judges of the political observers that he will be one of the "favorite sons" of Illinois for President of the United States. The Mayor arrives next day to make a great speech. He was met by thousands of people and a big automobile parade was formed and escorted him to his hand. He was at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. chureh, when the Rev. Carey was pastor that Mr. Thompson made his first speech. He was at Institutional church where he made his last speech as a private citizen and was running for Mayor. Dr. Thompson was an international friend and he will be one of the Mayor's stauenest friends and supporters when his campaign is launched. He was a welcome to his "home town." Hon. E. H. Wright, an Assistant Corporation Counsel, was there with the "gird hand" to give a speech to the deputy judges. Priest, who was a member of the Mayor's party to California, received a warm welcome to his "nave head" to other appointees of the Mayor was present at the station. Chance to Campaign. Mayor Thompson's candidacy for national committeeman gives him a great opportunity to campaign Illinois. This will make him a great big figure. He will make a big difference in the street car strike, the closing of saloons on Sunday, each followed by extended tours in the West, where he has been a national hero today, are to be succeeded by more moves that will place the mayor in the limelight. There is no doubt that he will be a strong supporter, sustains a big part of the voting strength in the North and West will line up for the Mayor. Every man of the city will be a strong supporter to give his support to the man who has dared to stand up for justice and right toward the Negro. Who will not be delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. It was so sound and logical, so rave and fearless, that many of his calls called him to action. He was delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. It was so sound and logical, so rave and fearless, that many of his calls called him to action. He was delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. He took high ground; manhood and manhood's rights toward the "man and brother." Mayor Thompson said he would take action if the race and he said publicly that he did it because he wanted to help the race up and not to degrade it, that he would not be a slave, that he no apology to make. This is the man that is the "favorite son" of Illinois. Refers to Presidency The Mayor referred to the office of President in his speech. This was taken as an intimation that he was in a receptive mood. "The position of the chief of the nation is the biggest job in America," he declared. "When I was elected Mayor of Chicago there were fully 200,000 unemployed in the city. We are doing what we can to relieve our local situation by rushing contemplated public works as fast as possible, but we can not hope to take care of our unemployed in that way. Permanent relief can come only from Washington in the shape of a protective tariff which will give the American market to our own people instead of opening it to the competition of cheap foreign labor the world over. The Democratic party thrives on calamity. Had it not been for the European war unfortunate as it is—the country today would have been in the midst of commercial ruin and financial distress, such as has never been witnessed before. Something must be done to re-ambage the treasury and put up a barrier so that our strong foreign com-petitors can not swamp us at the close of the war. There is a protective tariff of the old-fashioned kind made by McKinley that will protect American products without distinction or favor. Defends "Lid" Order. "I walked the floor for a couple of days and nights before I took that step," he said. "I went to the Mayo's club Sunday, I had no feeling against liquor, but enforced the law. All my life I have respected the law, and I am not going to die because the Mayo's club took the position before the United States that he rather favored forgetting Sunday closing law if only he could return to the Mayo's chair. The sheer power and State's attorney are democrats. The Republicans are for enforcement of the law, while the Mayo's leadership" The Mayor's speech was warmly received with yells of "Hurrah for Thompson for President." There is no doubt he as the Willie Nelson leader of the Thompson club. When the campaign for Mayor Thompson is launched and according to his close friends he as the Willie Nelson leader of the Thompson club. When he all over the country. Already they are being formed in this city known as the Mayo's Thompson Club" to boost him for the highest honor in the gift of the American people. There is one thing certain: if the friends of the Mayo's sin an active campaign in his behalf there is no "favorite son" in any State who has grown so high in the estimation race as William Hate Thompson.

The Grands Symphony Orchestra The Grands Symphony Orchestran. The first concert of the season of the Grand Symphony orchestra was at the Grand Theatre with Dave Peyton, director. He was assisted by Mr. Alf Kelly. It was a social and artistic event. In it he outclassed all previous efforts of Mr. Peyton and this was demonstrated by the continued applause of the large audience. In the concerts of the vance, who was a brilliant success, and Mr. Turner, Mr. Young and Mr. Buchanan were in splendid voices and relied on the musicians who was exceptionally fine and Mr. Peyton and Mr. Foster, the business manager, deserve much credit for giving the concert a special and special treat.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S METROPOLIS Lester Walton Presents New Show Under the Title of "Darkydom," with Foremost Musical Stars CONTAINS A MAGNIFICENT SINGING CHORUS! St. James Presbyterian Church Takes on New Life Under the Leadership of their New Pastor—Rev. Dr. Hyder, one of the Strongest Men of the Race, Called to New Field Here—Honor for President Scarborough—Head of Wilberforce Takes Part in Inaugural Exercises at Infayette College. Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West 53rd Street. New York, Oct. 18—Lester Walton, the most gifted critic the race has produced and the foremost impressario of the greatest musical shows since the days of Williams & Walker, and one which will do much to revive the music of the greatest artists who in the days of Williams & Walker attained their greatest eminence and fame. The title of the new show will be the most important to be a medley of mirth, and is capable of bringing out some of the finest ability of the Negro artist. A new show will be finned to the new show, and some of the men and women of the race who delighted Broadway audiences in the show will have been gathered with an aggregation of fresh and young talent presented for the first time to make up the show. The show will have all the summer, and when the show opened in Washington last week at the Howard & Theatre it marked a new and memorable touch in the culture of the Negro stage. The new show is headed by Miller & Lyle, the most gifted vaudeville team of the race, and the only team of the world of vaudeville. This gifted team will be seen this season in a role in the race. This is a role and will work with the same success that George Walker and Bert Williams did in the days of old. Will be seen as a vaudeville artist as a pronounced musician is secure, together with James Reese, European-style vaudeville artist, and the two gifted artists have put their best efforts in this new production. The music has been written by the vaudeville artist, the ability of the Negro along musical lines, and will further perpetuate the names of the vaudeville artist. The New Co-创作 has been written by Henry Creamer, who has done serious work in this direction and who is one of the few men who have given it a new name to the serious study of Negro music. The new production is staged by Jessie Shipp, who is gifted along with the vaudeville artist, who has a serious artists like Henry Troy, the Negro lyric tenor, who in the days of Williams & Walker delighted critical as the first of the new works of the New Collie Green; Fann y Wise, the new prima donna of the show, won her상담 for the New Collie Green, together with well-known artists like Cooper, Thompson and Cooper, and Ida Forsythe. Together with these well-known artists will be seen in the new works of the most promising young men and women of the race who by hard and consistent research, will be seen as the new work. In the chorus are young women who are making their appearance for the first time, and from which in time the new work is being made. The appearance of the new production at this time will be hailed with delight throughout the world. The new work is interested in the renaissance of the Negro stage, and who was looking forward to the day when the new work is being made. The New Co-创作 has been seen when Ernest Hogan, Bob Cole, George Walker were striking personalities on the American stage. Judging the new work as a new work, the chorus of this production has been picked it is safe in saying that with this new production of Darkydom the new work is being made. The new work will be seen in the principal cities of the country and will doubtless be seen in the country and will doubtless be seen in the new season. Mr. Walton was seen at his office at the Lafayette Theatre last week and in talking to you in the new production, and the gifted Negro artists of the race kept together, and his object in presenting the show is to be seen in the race. In speaking of the show he said that the personnel of the new production was the quintet on the road, and the show presented the greatest singing chorus that has yet been seen. The Negro population is the most prominent to the appearance of the show in this city. Lester Walton is doing much for the Negro stage and the success that he has attained in this direction offers further promoters. He is a keen analyst of ability and his reviews of Negro shows for years have been the official guide. St. James St. James is the largest Presbyterian church, one of the largest churches of this denomination in the North, and which has been handicapped by its location, taken on new life under the Rev. Dr. Francis M. Hyder, who has been called to the pastorate of the church from York, Dr. Hyder, who is on the foremost men of his church, and comes to this city with a noted record as a pastor. St. James, which has been interrupted in its growth is showing signs of awakening under the new pastor, and St. James will take its former place among the thirty-three religious institu- tions of this city. St. James church is at a strategic point and is undergoing a pivotal crisis in its history. Rev. Hyder, a man born in Johnson City, Tenn. He is a graduate of both the college and theological departments of Lincoln University and one of the few from that famous institution. Shortly after graduation he began his career at Haines Institute at Augusta, Ga. where he taught civil government and elementary school. He resumed at this post six years. He was then called to Bristol, The Freeman As an advertis medium is unequaled by any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spending Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal. Mr. Advertiser, take the hint and try us. Dr. Hyder said that he was pleased with the reception that he has received from the students and said that he would endeavor to do his part to build up the membership of the church. Dr Hyder will introduce many new courses soon. **Honor for President Scarborough.** President W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, and one of the national life of America, has been signally honored by an invitation to parade with President McCracken of Lattaye College at Easton. The exercises will be a noted occasion and will bring to you the educators of America. Over one hundred educators, presidents of the leading colleges and universities of the nation, the occasion will be of much academic significance. President Scarborough will be the only member of the president's faculty and will welcome come in for a large share of attention. The exercises will take place on Monday, the 20th and 20, and will consist of addresses of greetings and felicitations from other institutions to the new president in education in America. At this occasion at this gathering is a fine indication of the growing spirit of democracy in education in America. This city last week and was seen by your correspondent last Saturday evening. He told your correspondent that Boston and other points in New England and after leaving Easton, Pa., he would attend the new president of Fisk University. Dr. McCracken, the new president of Lafayette College, is one of the broadest educators in America, absolutely or fairly. He is a noted figure in the educational life of America and Lafayette College will do well in this role. He is a fine American family who have been pronounced on their attitude against injustice against the Negro. Another U. A. M. E. Pastor Succeeding. Sometime ago your correspondent called attention to the U. A. M. E. church in this city and the growth that denomination was making in this city. He interviewed the Rev. J. C. Desverney, pastor of the Union A. M. E. church at Stapleton, S. R. Desverney's first year at this charge and the work is already showing signs of growth since he has taken, and has been, a membership of 40 with a fine field for growth. The church property is valued at $3,000. Conscientious men of his connection and has a good record as pastor. He went to this charge from New York City, where he did notable work as pastor. The church in New York under Rev. Desverney had its growth. He has also honored the work of New York and while in that city took lectures on theology at Yale University. Rev. Desverney was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and correspondent will worship with Rev. Desverney the last of this month. Some More Race Enterprises. From time to time your correspondent has been calling attention to the charm and beauty of the race conducted by members of the race in this city. Most of these enterprises are known as Harlem and where live upwards of 40,000 members of the race.

A NEW TERROR IN BRITAIN. PERSONAL TAX TAX BILL TAX BILL GRENDICT BACHELOR MISSOURI BAPTIST WOMEN'S HOME AND EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION MEETS GREAT SUCCESS IN ST. LOUIS. The Universal News Co., 2319 Mar- ket, Street. (By Clayborne Shelby.) Special to The Freeman. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The convention was held at the Central Baptist church, with Mrs. Mary Goins, the chair. The meeting was conducted as good or far better than a great many of our spiritual meetings, in any class, white or colored women, and of families, also delivered a grand lecture in the interest of Christian welfare. Gentleman, it was marvelous to see an old man with bright and colored women send their ideas on the race question. The meeting that was held here shall be the most important of the greatest meeting in the history of St. Louis. Great benefits have been derived from this grand session in regard to the race question. Dr. C. R. McDowell and Rev. R. C. Campbell lent a helping hand. **Methodist in Convention.** Bishop H. B. Parks, director of the convention; J. D. Barksdale, secretary of the convention; A. M. E. Methodist church, where the meeting is in session, also have accomplished a great work. **Methodist is the sixty-first annual session held at the St. Paul A. M. E. church.** Birth of a Nation is Still Showing Here. A great many efforts have been made to stop the inhumanity built into very little good. The case has been in court more than a month, but this same thing the train after it leaves the station." The play was advertised five weeks before it began showing. Our leaders should not ever begin it, a funny comedy that ever began. It seems they are handicapped by the leading powers of our city and we are showing just as little interest as we have and put more than that over our heads. With the assistance of this play, the city leader is shot to the measly segregation bill. A very little, we think, of this fact, but we may be mistaken by the need we need more protestants in the race. The Freeman can be bought at the Universal News Co., 2219 Market street.

The Eighth Street Baptist church, under the leadership of Mrs. Carter, has 250 new seats and a handsome new rug.

Mr. Basfield came to Pueblo several years ago from Minnesota, opened a barber shop on this business he steadily increased. Geo.

The Lake Shore Social Club had quite a time getting all the members together to get down to real business. They were going to the club, in the club, as they thought they were going to, therefore the few faithful ones find it hard to carry the load, even though they are willing to do it. The president, President Garrett, has taken up his citizenship in another city, and the treasurer will be absent soon. My advice to all that wish to travel is be on the foundation is solid and then go ahead. Mr. and Mrs. Wright Killnerbue, of 824 Newell street, are planning on the city and they will in the near future move to Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Killnerbue has a good position in which he has massacred several years. He only gives this up because he has something better in Toledo, and did not hesitate a moment to kill him. A good citizen and their many friends will miss Mr. and Mrs. Killnerbue, for they are always pleasant and very enthusiastic. Carter has returned to his home area and Carter has returned to in Chicago. Mrs. Carter of Novi station was thrown off the car last week and received a fractured hip. She has been in Jane McAllister hospital, Vanegan, for several days, but it improved.

Italy has also declared war against Bulgaria. Perhaps that country will now get deeper into the fight. Carranza has been recognized by several powers. Now, if the powers in his own home town will recognize him he will be all set. Some one remarked that the fur on the top of the ladies' boots was the sign of a very hard winter. Have you noticed, too, that quinine has gone up? President Wilson and party, while in Virginia, a few days ago, were served a good old fashioned meal in a place kept by colored people. When it comes to cooking appetizing it takes good old Aunt Chloe or some of the rest of them to do it. President Wilson, contrary to expectations, not only stands for the program of defense of the country as thought out by the leading members of congress and the nation in general. He goes one better in that he stands for the very limit. The entente cordiale may be due to his felicitous mood anent his prospective connubialism. Well, it does not matter how it comes, it is plain enough that this country needs to be better prepared for an emergency. Our isolation is greatly to be relied on, it means very much, but it is not the whole thing. European military training is now practically a fine art. Nothing is left undone that would make for the efficiency of the soldiers. The same may be said of the navy. We are wonderful in resources, in raw material; another reason for our erstwhile satisfactory feeling. We are thoroughly convinced at this time that we are not prepared to meet a great foreign army, and we are thoroughly convinced that it is possible to have war with some well prepared country. THE EXPOSITION NUMBER: The Freeman is busy at this time preparing for its exposition number, which will be issued during the holidays. The object is to supplement the work of the various expositions in celebrating the fifty years' end of the achievements of the race as a free people. The newspapers have made some effort in furthering the idea of celebration, and which was very commendable. We think that, owing to the reputation and popularity of our publication, it is up to us also to help out in giving emphasis to the period. Semi-centennials are very far apart, and while it is not absolutely necessary to celebrate them, yet it's the ways of civilization. A thoughtful, reflective, thankful nation like the individual will count the most in the long run. Our object is to set forward the representative achievements of the race pictorially, in words, covering every class of meritorious endeavor, so that the reflection will be no less than an epic, the race in miniature. The staff of contributors whose names will be published in the near future will stand respectively as indexes of their subject. That is, they will speak with authority from the fact that they will be those who have made success of their various undertakings. We are busy soliciting for the representation and we hope there will be relevance in kind, in keeping with the undertaking. So far we have met with flattering success. Those receiving a letter from us will confer a great favor if they will answer promptly as the time is short for the work which has been mapped out. RESPECTING OUR OWN. When the country was just beginning to be the church people were known for their rigid discipline—austere manners in the church houses. In some of them there were officers who marched up and down the aisles, when necessary, prodding with a long stick the sleepers, and menacing others who threatened to break over the church. It was a sort of church citizenship. There are times when one thinks that our picture show houses need an individual of the kind. Not so much for the sleepers, who while annoying enough, do most injury to themselves, or, perhaps, to the house, because they snore sweetly through several shows, even when seats are at a premium. The censorship is needed for those who think only of themselves. A low murmur of voices, bespelling an appreciative interest in what they see, is good to hear. But when individuals entertain two or three rows of persons with general news and matter that should be private, it is time to call a halt. This condition, happily, is not the rule, it, however, is too often for the good of the race. Thoughtful, observant persons can not help asking the question, mentally or otherwise, would the same thing occur if these persons were in the downtown picture houses? If so, could we very well blame the management of the building for that? That's the point we are driving at. Do you get it? Suppose everything is correct in the down town houses as it generally appears, then it is a reflection on the race to take that advantage in houses run by our own people. Until the race members pay the race members the same kind of respect in similar places that they pay members of the white race, they needn't be surprised at a turn down at the doors of the white concerns. The ostrich hides its head merely, and thinks its great form hidden. With a little thought the application will be seen. THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. The Literary Digest recently took a poll of the United States on the question of Woman Suffrage. Letters were sent to 10,000 papers in all parts of the country requesting that they answer two questions. One to determine the editorial attitude toward the proposition and the other to discover the sentiment of the community represented. A total of 526 replies were received. Every state was represented. The personal views of the editors were shown in the following vote: Affirmative ..... 391 Negative ..... 97 Undecided ..... 38 The sentiment of communities was reflected in this vote: Favorable 237 Negative 156 Undecided 133 The result is somewhat of a surprise, and yet not altogether the unexpected, in view of the insistent agitation on the part of the women. This agitation has not made their claims stronger and more logical, but it has opened the eyes to transpiring events by way of the increasing importance of women in affairs. Years ago, in the very sentimental days, women had but small share in business concerns. The lady of quality, who said the pattern for sisters, never thought of standing out in the sense of politizenship. In fact, the common men had but little show at the ballot box in the men came into their own because of their increased importance in public affairs, the property owning and business pursuits being mainly what boosted them into the greater citizenship. Our countrymen, those of the United States, began practically on the ground floor. There was no preferred citizenship, due, of course, to the genesis of the country, when ownership of the soil was the great objective and the great opportunity. The women, however, made no advance, nor did they claim it, nor had they anything on which to base their claims. The man was the lord and the woman, true to our first conceptions as to her estate, nestled without protest within his keeping. The unexpected has happened. The woman has gotten away from her ancient fastenings. Even the harem ladies are forsaking their veils. In many of the European countries where they were the very angels of doctility, where they have done the treadmill turns of domesticity for centuries, have become imbued with the new life—not predicated on a baseless change of sentiment, but on the fact that they have moved out into the places that men occupy. The result in the election in New Jersey shows clearly the trend. Agitation based on the women's share in affairs has caused the revolution of sentiment. They did not win the election but they won thousands of votes. The women's share in affairs possible a dozen years ago. The woman's new position in affairs is the unexpected, the unexpected voting privilege goes along with it. THAT PICTURE PLAY AGAIN Says a news item in a Chicago daily of recent date, "It is the hope of producers of 'The Birth of a Nation' that they will be able to overcome the restriction against admission of children, set by Chicago's official censors, was announced today. The presence in Chicago of A. H. P. Barzhaes of New York, secretary and treasurer of the producing company and personal attorney of David W. Griffith, indicated that a move will be made to that end, probably this week." Perhaps, it may be as well as concluded that the "Birth of a Nation" plague is not going to be effectually stamped. The show is right to a finish, being put out of commission, but just the same it is still in evidence, and, perhaps, will be as long as the promoters care to have it so. The management of the theatre where the play was to be produced gave it out that there was such a great demand on the part of teachers and parents of children to have the restriction lifted that it thought the case would be carried to court. This seems to us a much ado about nothing. We have not seen the production, but we understand that there is nothing vulgarly offensive, at least, in the sense that the pictures are, any more repulsive for the children than older persons, nor are they any more dangerous in the sense of sentiment teaching. That the censors inveighed against the picture at all is condemnation, and that the picture is not a threat of them entertained by the Negroes. The producers had this to say in defense of their probable action at court: "The action will be taken, however, largely in response to numerous requests from schools, from parents, from persons generally who think that the restriction, against children was placed by us. "On the contrary, we feel that the film contains nothing objectionable to even the youngest children, and nothing that would make it unworthy of public performance before any class of people, of whatever age." If this be the case, what leg has the censors to stand on in forbidding the children the privilege of seeing the pictures? We will admit that we have made considerable hurrah, without knowing just what the production is. We have chimed in with the lay of lament of our people whom we gave credit for knowing what they were talking about. We have been made to understand that the pictures show, among other things, the political activity of the Negroes in the South when they were but a few days from slavery, and that section was smarting under the sting of defeat in war, and the fairly reversed condition, at that time, of the slave and master classes. Such scenes should not be sprung at this time in view of its intense racial feeling. The people are very careful about keeping the hatchet buried. Monuments to confederate heroes are being built or contemplated to decorate the common war fields. This in the interest of that beautiful sentiment, "Let the dead past bury its dead." The North THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and South have become cemented into a bond of unity, fraternalism being the master word. attending a dart at Imperial and had to be taken to the hospital, in improving fast and we are expressly grateful to Mr. Wheeler, Hudson, much of their regular dangers before the season. The burden of the come storm is on them. There would not be permitted a picture show, or any exhibition whatsoever that set forth anything which could be construed as comparing the relations of the sections in a way that reflected on either of them. The moving pictures which present Civil War scenes are the result of the utmost caution. Such being the case, why should men seek to trade on the things which hurt a race? There should be as much interest in keeping down friction between races as between sections. Ugly reminders are dug up to show the race when it was less prepared than in an affair, holding the thing over our heads as a sin whose penalty was unescapable. Is there method in it? "Repulsive" relationship is shown as existing between the races, or as anticipated and expected by the Negroes in face of the one opinion of the white nation as it concerns amalgamation. Much more insinuating stuff is shown, we understand, none of which is meant to make for that broad peace and the better understanding such as make for the progressive civilization of today, and without which it halts. Being but a small part of the whole civilization and that oum but just the same those are the undermining forces, and which if they do nothing to undermine in the instance they do nothing to strengthen en the general nation. DOINGS AROUND THE CELERY CITY. (By W. Clarence Steward.) Sanford, Fla., October.—The summer has gone and everybody welcomes the loving fall. You can see the celery plants showing up in their beds and the oranges begin to turn to their golden color. This is the time of year we all like to see when the long green comes in heaps. Mr. J. E. Frison one of our successful celery growers has just planted his farm on Beadall avenue and is expecting a good season. Death visited us last month and can't be two of our number away. Mother Byrd, one of the gold letters died on the 19th of September. The funeral was held at the St. James A. M. E. Church of which she was a member. Earnest Pappy departed this life on September 20th and his funeral was held at the Catholic Church, of which he was a member. His funeral was the talk of the town as it was the first colored funeral to be held at this church. Dr. Geo. T. McDaniels was in town shaking hands with friends last week. Dr. McDaniels is doing great work at his profession in New Smyrna Fla. Attorney S. D. McGill, Col. W. W. Andrews and Col. A. M. Hawkins were often missed of the K. P. F.

The Eaverlys have moved from Sanford avenue to one of their houses on Fla. A warm election is approaching. Candidates are looming up in grand style. Not a colored man is in the field this time for office. We are receiving much of the same sweet song we have been hearing for the past fifty years, promises of the state of will to elect more and after election we are more or less soon forgotten until a few days before the next election. We as colored voters in some quarters of the world are used as a tool to the carpenter. It is said that we as a race are a publicans by birth and that they would be good old party. If such a fact then we are a part of that great party and not divided from it and we should share equally in all of the good things and our names on the ticket should not cast any reflection on the party, as has been offered since the 1940s and 1940s. Let us stand together as men and voters and at each election have a Negro on the ticket all over the land and if he fails to win out the white man will some time fail also. It will sooner or later develop into something good for the Negro Less word of the end and more of the politicians of prominence would be a great benefit to the nation at large. HUMBOLDT, TENN.

Walton Presents an All-Star Aggregation of Thespians Amid Gorgeous Surroundings—Scores a Success. (By R. W. Thompson.) Special to The Freeman Washington, D. October 29 — The nation's capital has been treated to a new year. Last night a brilliant audience, embracing the wealth, culture and beauty of the city, first formal presentation of "Darkyodom," the widely-heralded musical comedy offering backed by that "Little Napoleon" of modern impressions, Lesson 1 of the course, master. New York. The production is styled on the bills as a "medley of mirth, melody and measured motions," and is set in picturesque Mound Bayou. Miss. the magic Negro city projected by the resource-holdout postmaster, mayor, city council, banker, merchants, railroad station master, marshal and all the property-holdout are musical characters in the color race. The performances are made true to life, the stage settings being elaborate reproductions live and perform which the characters interact with. Such a novel place ought to offer untold opportunities to a playwright in explication in both its gay and its somber aspects. The lines of "Darkydom" are by Henry Troy, the lyrics by Henry Creamer, the instrumentalists by James Reese Europe, and the piece is staged by Jesse A. Shiph — truly the most radical genius of which the Negro race of the world can boast. The immense company is headed by Miller and Lyles, the instrumentalists, and this is their initial appearance before a Washington audience. That they are the most assolent of whom we see, the proportions themselves, "made good" in all they attempted, was most forcibly attested by the hearty applause which greeted the big events of the clever production. But to the play! Like most of the "follies" of the day, little really new is ventured, but the old is done on a multiple scale. The plot is a skeleton and nothing like consistency is attempted in the plot of "un-dotted" the first, which follows the mother in rattling fashion. The story deals with the efforts of the debonaire valet of a railroad president to ferret out two tramps, who by making it necessary, set up a "Trolley" to be a saddler, prevent a collision and thus save hundreds of lives. The officials of the road are so grateful to the "hoboes" that they commission the valet (Henry's Trolley) to find the "fellows" (Millie and Lyles and and then the low-law of $500 in cash). The complications that ensue in running down the tramps furlish the basis for the fun and frolic around which the play is built. First impression of the surveying the Walkin's production is its blossiness. No such aggregation of leaders in the firmament of Negro theatricals has ever before been gathered together on a single stage. Each name of the play is the same series of weight—each has made a reputation in similar companies or in vaudeville. To weld together into a workable body such a constellation of "stars" is a triumph in itself. A good idea of the study of the play is to be found in a study of the following: Steve Jenkins.....Flournoy E. Miller Sam Peck.....Aubrey Lyles (Two cross-tie inspectors) Mose Montgomery, a barber Cliff Green Bransford Johnson, a son of rest Will Cooke Alosius雁 Johnson, a son of rest Allie Gillam I. Gittem, a policeman, Frank Walker Ethel Emet, a manicurist, Fannie Wise Henry Troy Jefferson Bibb, a "nut" DeKoven Thompson Hazel Black, an insurance agent Hilda Offley Students, natives, villagers, etc. by company. Points That "Stand "Out." It would take more space than that allotted to any critic to tell of the "points that stand out." The singing is tucked within the characteristic Cook and Europe flavor and here and there are more mous compositions by those gifted artists. The soles are tuneful and the ensembles reach lofty heights at times, but the Cook placed a premium on "speed," and direct in person Monday night, his baton flew fast and furious. The costumes are gorgeous and in excellent taste. The ladies are unusually pretty and the men are glamorous and in men's mentions" provided by the generous management. The stage pictures present in the play are fair and rich, coloring, artistic grouping and beautiful poses. The big chorus numbers, "All Kinds of Cooks Make Town," Live and Die in kicks and "Bambou," were executed in flawless style. Notwithstanding the numerous capable people in the show, a commendable effort must be made to to bring them one some of the "milestone" to be brine them to the "limelight", although it must be confessed that too little is seen of many of the actors in the show, an advantage in a lengthier sojourn in the center of the camera. The fear is ex- dangers before the season is old. The burden of the comedy is carried by Miller and Lyles. They work it out, and the audience stunts, among the most laughable being the burlesque prize-fight, the take-off on the modern tango dance, and the rapid-fire talking matches. The honors, owed to our own collaboration with Cooke and Gillam, who are a whole show by themselves, and occupy a place peculiarly their own in the "tramp" arena. The four of us, all the time they were on the stage. "Darkydom" a Title Not Liked: As a whole, "Darkycdom" is a creditable production although far from ideal, according to the standards of today. Much remains to be done in the strengthened play, although it is almost ubiquitous and do well justice to such an excellent company or to realize the full possibilities of such a fruitful theme as the thrifty drama of *The Dramatic element*, which is now conceded a place in variegated musical comedy, is lacking and there should be more. The drama that are designed to lead up to climaxes. Negro aspiration, as well as his rollicking disposition, might be the reason for the need to give a chance for a few of the "thrills", which our audiences clamor for in this era of ambition and love of achievement. Much trivial talk The title "Darkydom" is not liked and not a few are outspoken in their criticism of the company for concession to a sentiment that should not be recognized by the manly Negro, even though their be "a method in the management of the masses" they name—a stooping to conquer as it were. If the management consults the wishes of the masses of the colored population, they will convey a title that will convey the idea that it is a genuine Negro entertainment about using a term that is banned by the company, and edges will wear off as the play grows older. Walton and his aids are deserving of unstinted praise for their courage end enterprise in bringing together the people of the Negro talent. It is hoped the country black and white, will give the organization the measure of support needed for the control of the company for the entire season, which will assure it a booking in the best theaters in the country for a period of forty weeks or more. Mr. James Reese Europe comes home to the company, a reminder of the local engagement. NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIENS MIN- STRELS, No. 1.

About the time he took to make it lasted pression and lasting. A few months ago it showed up again, winning more than 100 times. It back again this week, reaching the charts as a colored musical comedy production. People were turned away Monday night, but the rest of the week. The members are well 101 Hawaii THE DRAKE-WALKER COMPANY. staged. The costumes were noted for neatness and variety. Every chorus number meant a complete change, and such changes as would look good on any old stage. The Drake-Walker Company invested well when it put so much money in costumes. The company's hand is an attraction, also the beautiful silhouette of the company, made to throw on the screen announcing the next week's show. No expense has been spared to make the show a go. Jessie Burney scopes nice blues song, "Never Missed Woman Until You Picked All She had to repeat, each night." The Drake-Walker Walker, who looked particular in her bright, well fitted. The whole chorus changed so making passage the most sturdy appearance of the evening. A factory show was the prompt by the audience. The Drake-Walker the compa At the raising of the curtain the gaily costumed troupers burst forth in all their splendor. They are heard in a medley of songs, Ethel Walker leading. NOTICE DRAKE AND WALKER HAVE ESTABLISHED ABLE BOX OFFICE THROUGHOUT THE WEST. The closing song of the opening was "Celebration Day In Tennessee." During this melange of fun the girls fired up, and the audience, audience armed with little electric hair which they used, looking like so many littered through the audience. The fellow seats were enviied; their chances of getting a good old tender hug served with an electric flash was so much better, doomed to die. The automobile stunt between the two comedians, Drake and Bailey, was new and funny. It was particularly amusing to the men patrons, as they are employed. The vehicle where the automobile is a part of their ETHEL WALKFEI experience. Buying a hotel was the next barely possible thread of a skit which holds through by the oft repeated assertion by Drake. John' to have a lot of friends, but not many at Bailey buy the hotel because of the girls who live there. This skit includes a most effective scene, when Drake does compare with the best seen on any TV show, and then his missing girl was a pretty bit of work—the piece de resistance of the www.www was greatly assisted by Mist Walker, who proves a good one in her line. Willie McMinn, an attractive young girl, was greatly assisted by I Were a Dreamer'. Soft, but sweet voice. Stage presence good. ```markdown ``` H. Drake, of the Drake-Walker Musical Comedy Company. Change of costumes here was a feature. The finger bowl stunt and others, including the cabaret services were amusing. Here also followed the dopes, which had such an effective conclusion. George Phillips and Clifton Drake are two clever buck dancers. Both are good at playing up the foremine if they keep up the pace. Young Drake wins in his singing turn. He sings "Crossing the Mason and Blessing." "Another Rag" was sung by Drake supported by the company of girls who made another striking change of cost. Jessie Burney scores nicely in her blues song, "Never Missed a Good Woman Until You Picked All Over Me," and she has a "Good Boy" chorus called by Miss Walker, who looked particularly attractive in her bright, well fitting costume, makingole chorus changes consistently, making appearance stunning and appearance of the evening. A very satisfactory show was the pronouncement by the audience. The company: Hattie Malone, Willie McMinn.

Last heard of 'in the Freeman, the Nashville Students were coming out of Canada into Idaho, where Ed Tolliver, Thomas Harris, who starred in "The Crown," are not with the company any more. The show is better than ever—everybody is more highly entertained in Spokane. A big show riding with two of Lewiston's society bells had an accident. The Student is scratching. The car had the front and back wheels and fender torn completely off. The other car, with five white bells, were injured and sent to the hospital. Leaving Lewiston one lady was reported unconscious. This is the fourth accident in Lewiston where were running 35 miles an hour. Walla Walla was our next stand, and we were entertained there by old 1000 people.

The most agreeable surprise of the season came with 'the' Russel-Owens fear of successful contradiction, that it is the best Negro stock in the country. The comedy of Mr. Owens in this sketch stands out and stamps him as one of the foremost comedians of the time. Mr. Owens' character was all that could be asked. Miss Nina Mitchell's rendition of the song numbers entrusted to her by the composer is to aid the role to respond to several encores. She is some singer with a voice that captivates. The Langston Bros., with their saxophone band, are up and up amid the low cows to "Bob" Russell, the organizer, and in fact the cause of this very good company. Although it is his first appearance among us, he is already a favorite. I have formed I consider the Russell-Owens Stock Company, as above criticised, as company that is good, show great, deportment (on and off) excellent. "Nuff sed." Notes. Clay Price, the globe trotter, is still with us. T. Nobby Gales is again among us after an extended tour of the East. Mr. Arthur Dorter is still the popular cabaret master at the "Blue Grass Inn." Col. Brown, manager of the Lincoln, continues to give us good shows. Keep it up, Col. The Carl Young's case is still hanging fire. There seems to be a nigger in the woodpile. Geo. Freeman's old man's character was a scream, and his dialect was great. The Pekin continues with feature pictures. The people tourn out en mass to see the Russell Owens Big Stock Company. Everybody was pleased with the show and the prices. The races are still going on and many of the old timers are in the city, among them being Bob Campbell, the grand old man of the turf. Next week—The Russell Owens' Stock Company—The "Dope Friends' Dreams" or "The Queen of Hop Alley," featuring Miss Nina Mitchell. Get Busy, you business people on Fifth avenue between John and Smith streets, or the white folks will segregate you. Let's have more light.

BAKER'S ANNEX BAND WITH 101 RANCH SHOWS. (By P. L. Jenkins.) At this writing we are showing in the Texas state fair at Dallas and everybody is well and happy. While showing Greenville, Texas, October 15, we had the pleasure of meeting the J. C. O'Brien bunch, and old-time handshaking was in order during the afternoon. Their bunch came out to the show lot and enjoyed the different sights with the 101 and at night, after our performance was over. We visited their mistrel show, arriving in time to see a part of the old. They have a clean and nice performance and we enjoyed it immensely. Our entire company was shocked beyond measure on learning through the columns of the Freeman of the death of R. O. Henderson, as each of our members was a personal friend of his. Peace to his wishes. On October 17, while in Dallas, Texas, our entire bunch attended the Star Theatre, managed by J. B. Norton. They have a performance far above the average and well worthy of the American slang phrase, "best ever." NOTES FROM ROGERS' GREATER SHOWS. Senatobia. Miss. (By Jams L. Williams, Trombonist.)

After playing seventeen successive weeks in the good old state of Virginia, Roanoke being our last city in the state, the big show is now headed south. Everybody is in good days at all the olds of big stars usual. Madame Tolliver's voice seems to be getting better all the time and Alex Tolliver's jail house monologue is always a riot. Evelyn White always wins her audience in the show. The sister, a good and Hawthorne never fails to leave the audience calling for more. Peg Lightfoot and Edwards, those two dancing boys have an act that is always in the screen. Legends and Giving Original Franklin. Dainty little.

The Richmond newspapers say Alexander Tolliver's big show is beyond a doubt the greatest colored aggregation that ever played in that city. Regards to all friends in NEWS OF THE PLAYERS. Perrin and Moore's Chicago Folies is at the Monogram, Chicago, this week, and at the University of Chicago. The company is full of people with good talent. Gertie Brown Moore makes good as the school misses the number of the playlists and the maddame of the boarding house in another. Tim Moore scored heavily as a teacher of work. Perrin and Crosby sprung surprises doing a variety turn of the best order. The western skit was a winner.

Joseph Douglas at Abraham Lincoln Centre - Florence Cole Talbert a It is always a great mistake which society people make in giving their concerts on Mondays, when they know they are at the end of the day at theatre. After seeing the first show at the Grand, the Douglas recital was half over when I arrived. I heard the one of the musicians of which Mr. Douglas hurried. Dovarik's Humoresque was generous to art and tone perfection and while a lack of technicality in his technique is always marked by a true understanding and in Sarasates quick movement he adroitly rose to the top. Florence Cote Talbert, a California singer, I am told, was in her last number, an aria from Bibiz Carmen, and enclosed a descriptive and, I am told, that she sang comedy, which she should not lower her standard to doo. She heard her rill and execute, but her voice is rich and full in the soprano register and quite as brilliant as any other. In a recital at an early date, Grace Galloway and B. Emanuel Johnson, pianists, were a perfect treat. It will probably sound like a lowlow is a greater pianist than familiar people may think. Her tone, touch and execution were marked by beauty and grace, and she could hear her and Madiam Talbert in a recital together, if the pianist won't ring in her sister, because she would play a hour of dancing. Among music lovers was Frank P. George, of Danabegay fame, who sat in a front row. The Grand Symphony Orchestra Con- plause on his voice and power. Chance Jones accompanied perfectly for Messrs. Young and Turner. T. Theodore Taylor played well for Mr. Buchholz, who has improved as a conductor, did not move manning his orchestra without ranting enough to cause some intermingling and as a conductor, and the bass drum lacked precision. De Vance's song in particular, the orchestra was far too loud and unconcerned with the bass control. Aside from these imperfections, must be cited for their own good, the numbers which were all light but one, are omitting future. Were these wrong, and were signs Program of the Movies.

Arthur L. Macbeth of Baltimore, Md., who had an exhibit at the Exposition, is still in the city suing the commission for $400 due. He claims the commission is certain obligatory due to the ousting of The Wallace Swan and asserts that they cleared a profit of over $25,000. Lottie Davis Belle of New York, formerly Mrs. Gussie L. Davis, wife of the late illustrative song writer, is in the city the guest of her old friend, Mrs. Gussie L. Davis, wife of the party in a box at the Symphony concert and dined with them at the Pullman Cafe. The cabaret singers all render their sentimental and classical songs too slow and it is not necessary for them to dress in formal attire during party. Colored artists the world over all sing entirely too slow. I already know it and have stated it. People continue to speak of it. So I'll tell you. Fred Rogers, formerly of Rogers & Wiley, arrived in town late last week, and he was the first to play emmy and last half at the Hippodrome, he will then play the Lyric, Indianapolis, with Beloit, Wis. Logansport, Milwaukee, and the 12th, "Go-Get-Wom," Rogers, as he is now called in his grotesque dancing single, is stopping at Sue Grundy's Watermelon Trust House.

William Harper was the gold safety razor shaving set, the gold safety razor shaving set, Leonard Harper was the dancing winner who got a traveling manicuring set, but, but the comedians must stick to either one thing or the other. One done a monologue and a dance. Lillyn Brown and husband, Billy De Mont, are now with Billy King's Stock Company after four years of successful company affairs. Their Stock Company made quite a hit with their own song, "Let Me Love You All the Time," which is copyrighted and the restricted. The song was written by Dream and written by Miss Brown and is her own original work. "Price of a Woman's honor and the promise of a dream," she wrote belong to them. Some of their songs are "Boyhood Days," "Let's Go Down South." "Get Me Now," "Ream as You Sow" and "From home from so infringers must care." "The Jolly Twelve," a woman's club, gave a banquet lunch in the "ompelfied" room of the hotel. From home I was invited by Manager Will Thomas to be a guest of the ladies. The party consisted of three girls. I was invited by Lydia Coleman, Mrs. F. B. Walker, Mattie Gregan, Anna Parker, Esther Hill, Genia Mer, Mer, Campbell, and Lilyn Shelton, which ranged so strongly to the ladies that I placed a rose on his coat.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TER. PHILADELPHIA. It was a delight to visitors to Gibson's New Standard theatre this week to make acquaintance with the Founder's Skip and Cook, the headliners. Miss Cook was in fine fettle and her songs were a great hit. She wore fine costumes and wore a skirt when she gave an imitation of auffy skirt ballet dancer, catching up her skirt and lifting it just above her head. She was quite an enthusiast, were quite enjoyed and it was evident she was in high favor. Sheridan and Williams in a skirt which gave her a great sense of empathy, equal number of new and old ones, must have kept the jokesmits busy hammering out nuts for them to eat when Miss Williams adorned her singing with a bit of coloratura the audience reached its highest degree of enjoyment of an unfolded intimacy, gathered all the laughs that were left. Porter and Pomeranuck the audience with all the fun had entertainer, Louise Johnson and Billy Young, who made a hit at the Filippo Duo brought out those royal entertainers, Louise Johnson and Billy Young, who made a hit at the Filippo Duo brought out their own company, rounded out the show and woke the audience up with an old time wedding scene. This was the Filippo Duo married on Friday to James A. Dixon, a prominent hotel man, at the home of her mother, 628 Suite offlifted. They were the recipients of many costly and handsome presents. Mrs. Dixon will still continue her duties the rest of the year, but enhance both admiration and the profession. We extend our congratulations. ACTOR TRIES TO END LIFE Billy Ewing, a well known vaudeville performer, tried to end his life via the electric chair at the 13, at home of Smithie Lucas, 1422 South street, Philadelphia. It seems as though Billy wanted to leave the show, and he went up to the door of one of the pretty girls in Broadway Rastus, and he went up to the comedian, with the show, when Jines was out, and turned on the gas, which was discovered just in time to save the life of the comedian. The only person to feel bad about it was Smithie Lucas, as he got real sore because Ewing used up about a quarter of his writing. Billy still loves and loves.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 3 During our New York engagement it has been our custom to eat one diner's petite little manager of the Lafayette Theater. Tucked away in a cozy corner of the beautiful Lyba restaurant, we have a tween us; a tiny electric globe shedding its soft rudy glow upon the table and a stationary wizard prepared by the Lyba's expert cuisine artists, it is then the diner's apolenaes at his best. Freed for a moment, from the harassing worries that attend the managing of a theater and a theatrical company, one theaterist who has been the mounts the interesting tale of his early trials and consequent triumphs. He draws the veil and one is allowed to peep into the myriad treasures and share his hopes ambitions. Mr. Walton is a little man with a capacity for doing big things. He is a man who has been led to believe. He makes sure that he is right and then goes ahead, over-riding all opposition, and women in his employ and close observation, and women in his employ and have the great confidence in his ability as a business man. He encourages self-confidence and continually interfering and annoying them in their work. He holds each person responsible and helps them. He makes his employees feel that they are a necessary part of its success as a responsible for its success as a The Lafayette theater had been labeled a failure. Messrs. Walton and Lindsey were the only ones and for this accomplishment they deserve great credit. Their-latest theatre has been managed of a large theatrical company, headed by the popular saudeville stars. Ms. Walton and Lindsey have made its initial performance Thursday evening, in Dumont, New Jersey, and the opening was en encouraged. Associated with the company are such men as Jesse Ship, Henry Creamer, James Hewlett, Allie Gilman and Will Cooke. The name of the show is Darkeley, which will be shown in large cities.

Now in their third week of this season, and giving satisfaction, both in the band and on the stage. The band, that is, S. Shane, Mr. Ted Pope, manager, Ben Jackson, band leader, and ten piece band; Mr. W. G. Melford, at piano; Hr. Hamp Harper, orchestrist, leader. The grand, medley overture and open chorus arranged by Mr. Pope and staged by Ben Gibson is a winner. The Yellow Dog, by Howie Dunn, gives Gibson renders with credit, "You're more than the World to Me." Miss Mae Harper, with trio, convinces them with "When You Love Me." Howie Dunn renders with Dennis, sure fire, making good singing, "We're Going to Celebrate the End of the War in Ragtime." "My Little Dream Girl, rendered by Jess Dallas, very classy, and closing the first part with 'Band, Band, Band,' by Mr. Pope and chorus. This is a hit. John W. Dennis, monologuet and mimoic, in a class by himself, uses a variety of instruments, comedy artists and singers, making good. Miss Bertha Lowe, a southern artist, and Miss Simpson, trombone virtuos, is due great credit as a young soloist. Happy days, the side splitting afterpiece, and it sure leaves them screaming for more. We have a family show, each and every performer an artist of rare talent. NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIEN No. 1 FAMOUS GEORGIA MINTRESTLS. We are still in North Carolina, where we are playing to S. R.

The New Lincoln, a very pretty play house, erected by Mr. Elmore, on 183th street, for the pleasure of colored theaters, the pleasure of the public and the S. R. O. sign has been in evidence nightly since its opening. The feature of this week's play is the pretension to take over Robinson and her company of cakewalkers. That the enthusiasm of New Yorkers for the new Smart Set show was so enthusiastic, the evidence is denuded by the record breaking crowds that attended every performance of the company upon its return to engagement. The Temple Club's great ball, and rainy weather did not deter the crowds from packing the house to its almost full capacity, and they returned away as was done at the initial engagement of the company. While in Washington, D. C., Howard University students showed their appreciation of the Smart Set show. To attending the event, they wore a large body, nearly 200 being present. Seated in the balcony, with pennants flying and banners waving, making the welkin ring with their hands, they were a joyous spectacle to behold, and a great inspiration to the players. No greater compliment has ever been paid the company than this demonstration by the Howard students. Andrew Thomas, manager of the Howard theatre, Washington, gave a grand banquet in honor of the Smart Theatre upon the stage, after Saturday night's performance. Plates were placed for sixty persons, and the occasion was most enjoyable. Entertainers were made by Dr. Childs, Bismark Pinchback, son of ex-Governor Pinchback, Lacey, and Courts and Journals, this the fourth banquet occasion the Smart Set Company by Mr. Thomas, the others being held at the celebrated Goldfield hotel, Baltimore, where he established the theatre, was made by Manager Thomas, during the course of which he outlined his plan for establishment of the principal cities of the United States. Those who know Mr. Thomas and his ability for accomplishing big things, do not doubt that he will be successful in his great project.

An Enjoyable Day Spent With the Al. G. Barnes' Circus—The World's Premier Animal Trainer and An Exceptionally Fine Man. Enroute, Santa Fe, N. M. We are still among the cowboys, the woolly westerners and Indians, playing nightly to from one to three packed houses, playing everything everywhere, and with everyone. The entire company entertained and was entertained on the 5th by the company. The company was the first of the two people who were personally by Mr. Barnes and without doubt the greatest wild animal circus we or anybody else has ever seen; a few were so far off the界上most of this show could be mentioned, but neither tongue nor pen would be able to picture properly their real worth. The company was the first of the two people of the performance, the light and light of the company, and the old and old fireworks ignited. We expected to be a more dashing show of the company, but at most any moment for his libரா, The entire company entertained and the act was a crowning one in the course of the show. The company was in the past, and the in the course of the show, both for breath and to think and verisy so, for this part we doubt as to whether we can describe even the most unfeasible, which we can describe even the more far-reached when astride a very pretty white horse, a lady was seen to come from the arena and with a voice that is so long and so high, the human being to singingales to listen she began to sing, and lo, from every part of the big tent beautiful pigeons were seen fly and light the arms, how derrubbs and and until she was mostly a mass of beautiful birds, still she sang, then when they could no longer sing, and when she was the most light-red, and when both a� and the horse were bedecked with pigeons she seemed to have chased the most so-called it was the one and that created more of a sensation than all the others. The close of the program was when one of the two men of the world was the one of the two-four of the world's kings of animals, and dared them to leave their stools, with whip in hand he caused him to go on at his orders and obey his by the way. When we meet a man who is so broad at heart and worthy as so broad at heart and show it really affords us pleasure to speak of him. Such a man is Mr. Barnes. We met our old friend and animal trainer, Sydney Rink, who controls the circus and acts in the big tent, also Andy Anderson, who is a clown and bucking mule rider with the circus. These two men are both the matriarch of the circus staff and it was our good fortune to look on them with admiration. Prince Mingo is still lively around the bunch and he is a wrist and aligators that will astonish one. The pinhead twins were also seen with the circus and are quite a drawing attraction. pany, were married in Knoxville, Tenn. some time ago at the home of WHEN IN CLEVE We find it such a pleasure to write about Mr. Barnes because own owner of the former have always been great friends and treated Mr. Marshall's bunch as though they were his people. He will open a side show attraction with him, they were very glad to meet each other. Billy Aint out, the side show manager, caused a lot of laughter when he, in jokes and rhymes, spoke of the Barnes people at the special show that was given in the show.

BURREL SMITH BESTED BY JIM BLACK IN TEN-ROUND GO AT JIM (By Ed Rogers WEST BADEN, Ind.—Burrel Smith of St. Paul, gave Jim Black, of Evansville, all he was looking for in a ten-hour bout before a large crowd at the West Baden Springs Opera House Thursday. October 14th. The fight can not be said to be best ever, as the boys seem to be fighting too much for the first round of the gong-Black event into Smith in the first round of the event. The event is based on the olds that if they had not agreed to fight, the new break (no hitting in the clinches), the fight would have went much longer. Smith had the better of the fight for practically the last few seconds. The black was stalling for it, and Black landed several blows, but no time, that had much effect, while Smith left Black with a thick lip, and a swollen eye. Both boys were on their feet at the end of the tenth, but it was quite evident that Black was pretty well wormn. The fight will say for Black, who has been quite a favorite in West Baden, that he was in no condition to fight. Promotor Beachman wired Black just four days before the fight, therefore giving him no chance to get in condition, while Smith's best training for Jack Watts, or Hannibal for a team three or four weeks, and Black says that if he is given any time to train and he can fight in the climbs he will wager a bet of $100.00 that he will whip him.

As none of the recognized colored champions will meet negro boxers, Mears has concluded that if the colored fighters have future, the new feature in which they have fought themselfs in the boxing pugilists of their own color. It is Mears' idea to hold a big carnival in future, the new feature in boxers in the various classes. These will be in the nature of elimination contests, and the vision will be considered the colored champion of that class. These will be in the nature of elimination contests, and the vision will be considered the colored champion of that class. This will greatly help the boxing game, at least so far as the negro boxers are interested in fighting there, a number of fighters in claiming the colored championship.

TO SETTLE THE COLORED LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Sporting Editor of The Freeman. MOLLITHE, Ga.-My plan for the team will involve with considerable manifestations of approval in planning to find the real colored champion, but there is an aw- wareness of the team. Leo Johnson and Battling Russell seem to be the candidates for the lightweight crown boys to hold the title. It is likely that there will be a match staged between the two teams. Very good boy, indeed, claims the mid- dleweight championship of the world, Hoy, of Toledo, Ohio, has been looked at by writers as a good contender for the title. I thing it would improve boxing champions of the race. I think New Oklahoma would be the logical place to the two boys in the ring over the 2014 season. Lee Johnson he can deflect Russell for title, he can be glad to fight him any way, looking forward to the meeting of the two boys in the boxing bottle--Leo Johnson, Battling Eddle Palmer and Kid Hoy, Wood like to hear from these four WHAT'S WELSH DOING? WAITING FOR THE COIN? Failure to Get Price Keeps Him Out Of the Ring. What has become of Freddie Welsh's now and then lately the question has been asked by some admirer of the clever lightweight 'champion'. Welsh has been fighting much for some little time. According to Freddie's managers, failure to get his price has kept the lion star out of the ring. For weeks Welsh was a regular performer, having down over $50,000 for the freeway. mingled in. Critics have said that in not one of his exhibitions has he made any sense of their worth. Needless to say, his managers do not admit the truth of that last statement. They say he has been too lenient to his team and has set a pace they could not now, for which he should not be blamed. In a twenty-season Welsh has not gone into a career where he have never received a good offer from any promoter," says Harry Pollock. Welsh the Welsh his life in balance with the referee has paid for it. We have set the price at $15,000, win, lose or draw, which we do not consider exorbitant. It was enough for a real championship match. Just the other day Tommy Burns of Orlando with Joe Mandot or some other good man, twenty rounds to a referee's decision. Why, Freed can get it, or the referees, for a ten-room no decision battle. "Therefore, the whole thing re- ceives the attention that Fred will be ready to meet any of them. Let Willie Ritchie and John- ne want the chance go out, just as I did, and find the spot and the money for the engagement and they will discover and hustle until I found a purse that suited Ritchie. Now let them do the same. We heard it said that Packey McFarland would like to get another chance at Welsh, but we want the weight. Nobody is barred, let that be understood, at the regular light-weight limit. We want our position. Now let them come on." WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT.

Fox, 294 Beaunbien street, Detroit, Mich. CHICAGO, October 16. — Chicago's fight game was dealt a hard blow today by a C. A. A. U. ruling that the team is not amateur and that participation means a blacklist by the amateur body. In Chicago was blacklisted as a "pro" by the ruling. "It's absurd for the gymnasium proper to be an amateur and city officials into thinking that the boxers who participate in their weekly shows are amateurs," said Harry Keaton, chairman of the Harrry Kennedy and C. A. A. U. A new boxing sensation has sprung up in St. Paul. He is Mike O'Down, a welterweight who just at present is basking in the bright rays of the spotlight along with Mike O'Down recently knocked out Freddie Hibberey of Chicago in five rounds and is being heralded as a welterweight champion. He is a boxer because he likes to carry him to the top of the class. In twenty-one bouts O'Down is said to have won eleven with knockouts. Ray Bronson, manager of Milburn Saylor, the "knock 'em cold" Hoosier lightweight, has received word-promoting the Boston promoters who will stage the battle in New York and Charley White on November 2, that everything points to a record-breaking house when the boys get together. Saylor is very popular since he gave White to the club. In the club town, even if the bout was called a draw. If Saylor is fortunate enough to repeat his last effort over the Chicago biffer there could hardly be an excuse for Freddy Welsh in refusing to meet Saylor. Saylor is full of confidence and believes he will hang the ball at a sign on White when they meet November 2. Jeff Smith, the Bayonne, N.

Morley Clark, our shortstop, and Todd Allen, our third baseman, pulled off some sensational fielding stunt. Charleston and Shively led with the stick each one securing a pair of hits, and Ruddling will be on the firing line Sunday. Old reliable Ben Taylor accepted twenty chances without a skip and it was Ben's hard rap in the twelfth that sent the winning run across. Pitcher Dismukes folded his tent like the Arab and the Batter 'Battler' to join Rube Foster's American Giants, which team goes to Honolulu. Jimmie Lyons, who played with the St. Louis Giants this season, was in right field. Jimmie was billed as the first Giant to fail to get one out of five times up. JACKIE MOORE IN KANSAS CITY —EXPERTS SAY THAT HE IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Jackie Moore, colored lightweight of Columbus, O., has opened his fall campaign with two ten-trow draws. Jackie Moore is in city according to an advertisement. The best colored lightweight们 have seen since Joe Gans showed there at the Century Theatre. Jackie seen at the theater was a little fellow and when working for Gans he was asked how he felt, and he said, "Well, I am feeling fine," and he always has a smile on his face and a awful good shape to beat him. So the fight was a draw. Jackie Moore is working with Pinkie Gordon and Jennie Banks, two Pinkie City best boys, and is getting great fall and winter campaign. Jackie just received an offer from Manager Oxon, of the Funtime City Athletic Club, to work with him for October it for October 15, and Moore and Johnson should draw an awful good house, as both the boys are topnotch colored at 128 or 129 pounds, ring side. Jackie is clever and with his cleverness he has a welterweight punch and Moore knows his punch. You can talk about Jackie Russell and Battling Snake Kid and Joe Johnson and the best boys in lightweight, but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside with ease and light 15 or 20 rounds with ease. All lightweights the only lightweight who can make 133 ringside with ease and light 15 or 20 rounds with ease. All lightweights but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside and can make weight with ease. Jackie appears to be the best colored lightweight but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside. Moore boxes 20 rounds and is fresh at the end as he is at the start. Jackie is very cool and hits hard and can make a little boxer. Columbus should be proud of Jackie, one of the best lightweights the world, white or black, and a clear eye. He does not chew or smoke.
