Carmel Baptis —Miss Rachel Walker, the Interna pears at Mt. Carmel—Kindergarten (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S Strete, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4. The sweet "bomb" in the school situation is the petition by a writ of mundum dacus pledged to the Board of Education to show cause why it should not reintitute the petition by the Manual Training School and assistant director of night schools of the District, two positions which he held for years with certain claims to have been unfairly and improperly removed. Dr. Evans was separated from the service of the Washington schools in November, and the Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Grace to Supt. W. M. Davidson, the head of the school, to W. P. Shaferd, of the Disciplinary Supreme Court, has issued an order to the nine members of the board, a compliance with Dr. Evans' petition, to the case and is therefore called for a formal hearing. Dr. Evans for the present, is acting as his proxy and presides in the case and is responsible for its strength of statement and the logic of the conclusions reached as to the justification of the board, who must now answer, by order of the court, questions they have declined to answer during the hearing. Dr. Evans is being appealed for his "dairy in court" are Henry P. Blair, president; Ernest D. Daniel, William T. Gallier, John B. Hancock, and Edmund Kern, Susie Root Rhodes and Coralie F. Cook, Dr. Childs, Mrs. Cook and Mr. Peirson are colored. The motion is directed against the board as the filing of the case in court has created a city-wide sensation and the sympathy of the populace is decidedly with Dr. Evans Was Dismissed Without a Hearing. Dr. Evans declared in his petition that dismissal was the result of a complaint. he declares that no hearing was granted him, and that he was unable to born the exact grounds for his dischargement. Congress provides that whenever aaker is on trial or being investigated, he shall be notified and furnished with the necessary proceedings, at least one day notice, and shall be allowed to be presented by counsel, and have presiding attorney proceedings, at least one friend. All aaker is denied him, Dr. Evans maintains, and appointed a teacher to state public schools January 5, 1885. He says that during the years from 1911 to 1913, members of the university stated that he was appointed charges against his moral character to the effect that he was adaption to him, secret education, without a teacher, and that he was a user of carotic drugs, and that he had made a case statement as to the enrollment of students in the university that, without trial, he was found guilty of every charge, and adds that November 7, 1912, on the recommendation of Bruce. Superintendent Dr. Burke, he was dismissed on a charge he was insufficient academic and no longer delay in filing suit has been due to the fact that he has been seriously hurt by the shock caused by his dismissal. He is the court grant him damages and costs. Petitioner Should Have His "Day in Court." People who side with Dr. Evans, as a many who do not, are in agreement with a principle that whether a man is guilty of a crime may in court. The local papers and correspondents for out-of-town cases are cluttered with changes on this idea throughout past three years, and astonishing changes in the board of Education, made up in large paper, should deny Dr. Evans or any of the funders' rights to be used to the funders' cause. Why should not Dr. Evans be given a fair and be allowed to offer such deference? It is not to be presumed that his almamy could harm no one—that he could be no good reason for Frenchmen to seize the laps of sealing his lips. If giving him satisfaction his mind and worked to any one else, why deny his claim? he is heard everywhere that the teacher "insufficient academic andagogic skills" is spurred, which could be said in farther education, in this said an experienced educator, in this made strong Manual Training School so made the idea while at old Mott School he planted there resulted in the development of a structure and enlarged curriculum, which led to the vocational system that revolutionizing educational stand-alone urban communities. The changes in urban communities. The changes in urban communities was absolutely without foundation, was a blunder and reflected its credit to the mental equipment the person who taught.

How About That Kindergarten Class Rating Report. That suit of Miss Charlotte N. Hunter against sundry folks in town is still in court, and a hearing is not likely for many months. A mention of this fact brings to mind another important fact that is often cited: that ties at interest—that is, that the findings of the sub-committee of the Board of Education, relative to the examination of the normal classes of 1914, have not yet been made public. Six of the cases were given appointments—temporary at first, to fill vacancies, and it is understood that these appointments were the formal statement has been handed down, showing the undisputed standing of the individuals composing that class.

A writer in a current publication says he knows of some preachers and editors who will answer a letter prompting him to give his statement by giving their names? The Washington Bee seems to be entirely satisfied with the National Negro Press Association under its present regime. Chase hasn't emitted a growl about the organization for quite a while. It doesn't pay for an employee in any kind of a business house to "lay a man who frequently or trivial reasona a man who has no time, without detriment to a business, is not regarded as a very valuable asset and the boss may find out that he can get along without him for good.

The cities that have entertained big conventions this year have succeeded or failed in proportion as they have developed one or more first-class colored hotels, restaurants and up-to-date theaters in the city, homes and churches are all right, but the stranger within your gates judges a town by the creature comforts within reach, and a city by the city's amenities provide them—or committees will pass it up when convention seats are to be named.

If there must be segregation, the Negro church management, more Negro teachers, more Negro serving the trade unions and finer homes in so-called Negro neighborhoods and a closer walk with racial endear. The progressive and affluent Jew is pointing the way. Certain presidential possibilities are being chosen or rejected in some inquiries, quizzes, according to thebuch of officers of the bureau, the success is apt to bring to the fore as a "Black Cabinet" of the future. After its experience with the colored end of the party, the public demands Washington have reached the conclusion that "an ounce of prevention is adequate that looks as if he will bring back some of the official misfits that essayed leadership under the last republican administration, will be handicapped at the start." The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is rendering yeoman service to the state's states of the South—North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. This Gibraltar of insurance gives employment to men and women, teaches the art of laying up a safety-first provision for the proverbial "rainy day," and is an industry and managerial capacity of the Negro.

They'll color the colored restaurants and cafes. We have two or three swell colored places, fine enough for anybody to sit down to the tables. We have some places and sit down and eat and hear sweet music on the piano.

Sliding into winter ever so gently. It looks as if the Republicans are coming back. The vote for women in the eastern states shows unmistakably the trend of thought on the woman's suffrage question. The Hallowe'en masqueraders were in possession of the keys of the city last Monday night, and they did not forget to use them. As to the results of the election, it is very much like what Dr. Cook had to say of the North Pole controversy—there's enough glory in it for us all James L. Curtis, of New York, has been selected as Minister-Resident and Consul General to the Liberian government, Africa, succeeding George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind. It was thought at one time that the appointment would go to Mr. Manning, of this state. That gentleman, however, did not encourage the idea, refusing to stand as an avowed candidate. Bishop Alexander Walter was for Mr. Manning in event he cared for the job. But the Indiana man was content to let the appointment go elsewhere the bishop settled on the New Yorker, Mr. Manning assisting him in getting the place for Curtis. The appointment seems to be very satisfactory. THE FREEMAN MISINFORMED. November 1, 1915. Mr. Elwood Knox, Manager Indianaapolis Freeman, Indianapolis, Fla. Mear Friend: I note an editorial in your paper of October 7 relative to the importance of thinking the editorial means to be unfair to the management of the Douglass Home, but clearly shows a lack of interest in the home, and I am sure our trustees will be gind to give you whatever official information you may desire concerning the home. I may say to you that a sentiment of the character necessary to support such an institution is a very late desire. The sentiment was not sufficiently favorable to construct the great Washington monument in memory of the father of the nation. It is most difficult to raise any respectable amount of money for the home. I do think your official quit fair and I think it is some kind of information or that you have been given the wrong information from some sources, because the Freeman always wishes the right thing at the right time. Rev. Dr. Moorland may rest assured that we are perfectly willing to say anything or do anything that is right in regards to this unfortunate affair. We hope that we have been misinformed, and that there is no studied effort to insult the memory of this eminent dead man. Squaring a circle is said to be a mathematical impossibility. In trying to help the Douglas home purchasing committee we do not wish to deal with a怕 publication. If the prospect of purchase is unblased, not subject to any influence beyond that of the toil in wringing money out of the people, we are still with it. No one can beat a blind alley or a Cul-de-sac. We are proud to make mends for any wrong done by us. Our editorial was not fair if the difficulty is simply a matter of time sufficient to make sentiment. It was written after years of waiting and after two distinct efforts on our part to help in the movement, and which met with but the feeblest response. Dr. Moorland is one of the Y. M. C. A. international secretaries, and as such, what he says has weight. We take it for granted everything is regular in the movement, and that there is no disposition, at least avowed, to defeat the undertaking. We assure him esteem and distinguished consideration, and hope the committee will have the success it deserves. Again we insist that we are with it. EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN. CHINA WANTS TO CHANGE. The Freeman ventured the opinion at the beginning of the Chinese republic that the change was by no means certainly in the interest of that country. The opinion was based on the requirements of republican citizens, which, if not among the things, highly educational, must include "intense" saneness, or an enlightenment which answers for education. Nor do we mean book education particularly, although this must be the basis, because without reading there can be but little understanding. We must read enough to get the thoughts and views of other men—the ground work. Only a small per cent. of our citizens are highly educated, but they have, the greater part of them, the essentials of republican citizenship. This diffusion of knowledge, indeed, means more than the ability it is exponential, raising to higher powers the individual per se, putting him in better harmony with his environment. Thus the power is reduced, as contrary as it seems, as knowledge obtains, when the theory and practice of community rights, or rights in common succeed the savage notion of self first. Mankind will never be able to eliminate self as the first person of importance, but it does learn that if self is to be sustained as that first person others must come in for a share of attention. The Chinese, it will be admitted, have not been known for aggressiveness individually or collectively. Their lack of general enlightenment has not made for that peculiar ambition known of Mexico and Haiti. Apathy, indifference, sloth have characterized the flowery kingdom, just as the opposite characteristics have marked Japan. China strikes one as being a stupid Colossus, exhibiting characteristics which do not make for republics. The fact that China has quietly determined to change from a republic to a monarchy without the firing of a single gun, of course, is in the interest of the world's peace, but speaks very poorly of that country's makeup. Imagine such a determination in this country or any other country. Owing to the many millions in China it is in the interest of humanity that it can slide from one kind of government to another merely by proclamation. But, as we said before, it's a mighty poor kind of people that would stand for those bloodless revolutions as salutary as they are. The easy change is in accord with the nature of the people, many of whom do not know what is going on at Pekin, nor do they care. Successful republics are not made up that way. While not turbulent or notably robellious, the ideal, in part, of republics, the Chinese provinces could never be sufficiently federated, until the personality revolutionized. These people are too tame for the progressive ideas of republics. The petty rulers of provinces known for their graft methods under the old regime were none the less so under the republican form of government. Really the opportunity is greater because the offending individual can not be reached so directly. The machinery of courts and legislatures are too much for the simpleminded Mongolians. In fact the Chinese at this time are the best example of a people requiring a monarchial form of government. They are passive, docile—"brothers to the ox"—and who wear their yokes easily. Many are intelligent, but the vast majority are as we have described them, both ignorant and indifferent. It is a serious thing to know that China is lapsing into its old form. Yet it has no business in the ranks of truly republican countries. Its president at this time could only be a modified emperor, but who is less effective because the absolute power is not a part of his prerogatives as an emperor, and less effective as a president because he has not the support such as is given the president of the United States or similar countries through their beautiful, even if complex machinery. J. MILTON TURNER DEAD. J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, Mo., one of the best known Negroes of the United States, died November 1, at Ardmore, Okla. Biographers have very little to say of his early life; it is generally known, however, that he was of slave parentage, and was himself a slave. At his death he was considerably above seventy years of age, thus his early manhood ran along the years when the Negro race was getting its bearing, and current with the lives of Bruce, Douglass, Langston, Pinchback and others who may be set down as the blazers of the way. His schooling was considerable, but nothing in comparison with what he acquired by himself. Owing to his day, when Negroes of brains were few and far between, he had great opportunity to advance in public affairs. His state was important in politics as it had been in the days of slavery, and during the Civil war, when, owing to its border situation it was a field of contention as to which side the state should espouse. Nor has that state yet lost its pivotal importance. The large Negro vote of Missouri had the greater influence in making the J. Milton Turner as he was best known to the American public. The Republicans at once saw in him their opportunity. And indeed he was a very rare find. His political schooling was among the best white politicians—statesmen; not only of his own state, but of the entire country. The school was rare owing to the times, the reconstruction era, and the rest of it, when the country was rising like the fabled phoenix, from its ashes. Mr. Turner was a precocious product of that school. Conkling, Platt, Blaine, Grant, Sherman, Harrison, Edmunds, Logan were his national associates and he measured well up to them in all respects. The school was a very rare product, made no important move without him. He attended the state conventions and the national conventions where he was always held in great esteem. Mr. Turner became a lawyer, and perhaps it was due, in part, to his profession, that he became so well practised in the art of speaking. In this respect he was a peer of the men of his day, of this day. In his general manners he was as polished and refined as a courrier, saue and insinuating, impressing, his fine personality on whomsoever he met. He was a man of great intellect, consequently he was in great demand in the greater campaigns. He was something on Carl Shurz order, that distinguished German orator. Both seemed to have exhausted the oratorical possibilities of the English language, adding to it something of their respective nationalities which made for "supermen" along this line—the had the touch as well as the technique. When J. Milton Turner spoke, one forgot his ebony hue. He stood almost the matchless man, with his eyes full of the present gift of oratory, and which won him fame, honors and the more substantial thing of fortune. Mr. Turner was perhaps too brilliant for his own good. He was another Alexander; he grew restless after his achievements in the Republican ranks—sighed for other realms. He was given the Liberian post, one of the best possible consistent gifts, by the Republicans. He treated it as a thing of indifference. He accepted the post but refused to live in that country; so scaffold at his house, he saluted the salary of colouring in Paris. His successes made him reckless. Smarting under some disappointment he joined the Democrats in after years. He attracted attention owing to who he was, but a few years later he renounced that party, having discovered that Negro political division was more attractive in sound than in sense. In later years Mr. Turner became THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER an Indian attorney, in which capacity he made large fees. Unfortunately he had no thought of the tomorrow, Money flowed to him easily in his earlier career, and long after, but it flowed from him as freely as it came to him. The days of decline came. His prospects were gone; but through it all his many friends would not permit him to drink his bitter cups to the dregs. The remembrance of what he had been mentally stalked before those who knew him, and like the famed old Negro standard bearer of the Civil war, whose colors did never touch the ground, they saw to it, that even if he bended low, he should not trail in the dust. Whatever his decline and end, he added luster to the race in that he showed its fine possibilities. He came when the race was young, when men doubted its susceptibility, doubted its capacity for great acquirements, contributing his most valuable testimony when it was most needed. He set the standard high, amid the stars, building better than he knew, and until this day we will search in vain for another J. Milton Turner, orator. 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 mertorious 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 assistance 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. L'OUVERTURE'S RUSTY SWORD. Elsewhere in this issue is an article on Haliti from the pen of Rev. Dr. Reverley Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, and which appeared in that publication for October. We have had considerable to say about that country in the recent past, so much that the idea may have obtained that we think that it is our peculiar mission to discuss its affairs. We do not entertain any such views. The Haitian question, naturally comes home to Negroes wherever they are. And because of this day of rapid changes and complete revolutions, as well as the fact that the government is one of Negroes, and moreover, because of our country's attitude towards Negroes, the question demands the closest attention. Dr. Ransom asks us, as he does other papers, to give some thought and expression to his views. We agree in the most part with what he says. We have said practically what he says. In fact, we agree with all he says, only opposing his style of saving things in some instances. If it is possible that the move in Haiti carries with it the scheme of changing the fundamental policy, permitting a changed rule for the occupying of the land, admitting others to ownership not countenanced by the original law-makers of the island. By the proclamation of the holding majority, we can see reasonableness in the unsheathed L'Ouverture sword expulsion. We have promptly arrayed ourselves on the side of our government in what has been done so far, and as most of the thoughtful men of the race have done, and for the reason so forcibly set forth by Dr. Ransom. He says: "Instead of preserving the sword of Tousaint L'Ouverture untarnished to uphold and defend the national life and honor, they have struck their country full of bleeding wounds through internal strife and civil war. In this condition of affairs we do not object if a strong and powerful neigh bor peacefully intervenes to assist in restoring order and harmony in the national household, but we want to be assured that her natives are disinterested, and that all her overtures are inspired by those high aims which have back of them no ulterior purposes." Hear him! The editor has said it all, even if it has a threatening tinge. And yet he may be right in his tone of defiance, especially if it is even hinted that fundamental laws are to be given without the consent of the governed. So far we see no reason to doubt our country's good intentions. And perhaps there will never be a reason to doubt its integrity in this affair. It is our best judgment and hope. We are in for our country assuming the reins of government in Haiti for the purpose of bringing order out of confusion. We do not aid and abet this country or any other in the effort to despoil nations or peoples, white or black. Particularly are we interested in Haiti preserving its status, and that it does not perish as a political entity from the face of the earth. We said we agreed wholly with the editor of the Review. We do not hold that President Woodrow Wilson's cheap white Democrats are eagerly anxious to go in and reduce the Haitians to their idea of common American Negroes, as he says. There is no way, unfortunately, of knowing the ending of such matters until the end comes. Of course, it will then be too late. But there's nothing to do but abide the time, depending on the honor of the country as the hope of pledges redeemed. To do more, to fly in the face of affairs with our suspicions, would be to wrongfully accuse our government, which as such, has done very little to inconvenience our race. This may sound soft and affectionate, but there nothing to do but wait and see. If we accuse and accuse we might help with the thing we are trying to put from us. Even great governments are sensitive. We will admit that the situation is precarious for Haiti. It can not well resist the interference on the part of this country, or some other country. What will that interference bring to Haiti? Will it be the restoration of that beautiful pastoral country wrenched from the hands of the French by L'Ouverture, situate amid seas in a clime bespoke into existence when the gods were in their best humor, or will it be an unwilling contributor to the prosperity of the feudalism—without mind or soul of its own? This latter is the thing to be feared. And yet we cannot afford to curse the fate in advance, for it may be, and we think it highly probable, that Haiti will be passed to the Haitians with achievements, prosperity and prospects never dreamed of by those in the present generation. Sublime faith is essential to good patriots; it is in Germany where the head of government is revered as a father of the family of good repute—never suspected of less than a whole-souled interest in every member. Our country has a right to expect the same kind of fealty. It is not to be thought of doing one single act that would undermine that conception. Failing in this it fails in its purpose as a government. Wrong would follow wrong until the cloud, as it were, which was no larger than the hand of a man, would increase and would not break with mercy on our heads. Attorney Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland, O., was among those elected as members of the city council of that city. He was elected from the eleventh ward on a non-partisan ticket, five other candidates in the field. S. C. ZOEKOAS W. FILLING all of whom were white except himself. He had some show all right, while the white folks were settling the matter between themselves. With respects to Booker T. DOUGLAS'S WORDS Addressing the colored voters who were in great number at the Emery street meeting in the Thirteenth ward, Monday night, Attorney Thomas J. Alexander advancement party built to lure the vote of the colored man. It is a child of the Democratic party. It is ridiculous and nothing else. If the Democrats want its purpose is to take away votes from the party of Abraham Lincoln, and nothing else. If the Democrats want its purpose is to take away another. But don't be fooled. Remember the words of Fred Douglas, the greatest Negro the United States ever produced. He said. "To the colored man, the mean party is the ship—and all the rest is the sea."—Cincinnati Times-Star.

Thouands Cheer the Boys When They Take It Out of the Voca Voca (By Cary B. Lewis.) It was a brilliant game, the high school displaying great headwork in their defensive play and great work in their first half the great valor. In the first half the youngsters from Central did their best playing. On the gridiron, I am told they passed a silent pass, and the players had hazards. Capt. Kean said to Pate, right half, "nit the line, hit the line," and Pate, like a mad man, hit the line of the goal. He drove, "Go after it," said Kean to Brady, and Brady, true to his resolution, made the first touchdown. "Old man," he said, "had a second touchdown and Brady kicked goal. You could hear Central for a mile. Victory was theirs. Boys threw the ball, "billie" in. In the second half, the Uno Voca Club picked up courage and Perkins made a touchdown and goal was born fight, but Central outplayed them. Pate suffered a little bad luck in the last half by getting hurt, but not seriously. He stuck. The afternoon, the high-school will play the Henderson (Ky.) High School at the same park. The citizens of Louisville of the city of Louisville will see their sons buck the line. Let them see the most noted game of the fall season—a game that makes real men. It will be called at 3 o'clock. The line-up: Central. ___ Uno Voca. Fred Laughlin ___ Center. ___ J. Lawrence ___ left guard. S. Huff L. Lawrence ___ right guard. French Smith ___ left tackle. Shipley treat. ___ left guard. S. Huff K. Price ___ right end. T Allen C. Taylor ___ left end. Perkins Wm. Mitchell ___ left half. Walmart Wm. Mitchell ___ left half. Bryant John Pate ___ right half. Nurse Kean ___ quarter back. Anderson FISK TIES WILBERFORCE. In one of the greatest games ever witnessed on the Fisk University field, the Fisk University teams played to a 9:0 tie. The game was brilliant throughout, both teams reaching the twenty-yard line. The game was brilliant. The game. Wilberforce threatened Fisk's goal seriously in the second quarter when they secured the ball in the center of the field, the ball exchanged smashing march for a touchdown only to be penalized after reaching Fisk's twenty-yard line, the ball exchanged smashing march, each one unable to gain the necessary downs. Gaines at quarter and Lane at left-half, two former Georgia State College players, and one former Georgia State force. The line plunging of Lane at left-half and Jones at full-back for the Buckeyes was terrific, shattering time and against the defensive offense by Fask. The Buckeyes were the first in the punting contest with honors going to Dickson right-end for Wilberforce. The game was by far the best ever for the Buckeyes, two teams will be watched in the future.

We are again in the good state of California, where flowers are still blooming and an amorous business is thriving.

THURSTON, THE MAGICIAN At the Lyceum Theatre, Indianapolis, Thurston, the man mysterious, whose evenness of mind and a wonderland will appease a fairyland of the Lyceum all next week with daily matinees. And that the greater-than-ever laver never was more deserving than in the case of Thurston this season. He is better skilled in the art of mystery performance than in the art of performance is remarkable in its interest and delightful comedy. With his majesty of the day are coupled a number of new startling features. To catalogue Thurston's new prose and performance, his reputation is made and the knowledge of the rare quality of his performance universal. His is a polyphany of knowledge, answers every desire, and as for his minor, incidental frills, puffs and nouns of the general comedy nothing more is the more largely product of laughter. Thurston's performance last season surpassed anything ever attempted by any other man. He is said the things he does this season would convince any one that the "evil one" had a first mortgage on his future wife. He is said that it is most pleasing characteristics. He is assisted by a large retinue of retainers, and carries two carloads of effects including that would do credit in aizable circus. Thurston's performances are especially attractive in that they appeal to the audience, and seasoned male theater goers. Special attention is to be paid to the little ones at the matines. Every man, woman and child within the audience make a surge effort to see Thurston. THE JAMES HARRIS CONCERT BAND. The James Harris Concert Band and Minstrels of the Goldman Bros shows closed with the season at Kingfisher, will host the show, rest, before going out with Morgan's Mighty Minstrels this winter.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Musical and Dramatic Criticism Prose Poems and Current Literature CUMBY & BROWN AT THE GRAND Billy Cumby and Will Brown, two very talented artists, made their first appearance here together as a team, first foundation and then won the place on the bill at Carnegie Hall by is a great comedian was easily decided upon after he had sung "He was a comedian" and then he did his wobbling dance. Brown, in style and grace, with his fine tenor and a good song, not quite suited to the two actors failed to take the role, but the two actors mand which they should. The white acts were Sadie Kussell and company, and a good song with more good comedy stage story with more comedy she scored in her intoxication scene. Miller and Moore, English actors, I was Sadie Kussell and company, I was also classy dancers. The Smillett Sisters, were good wore walkers and contortionists and Jules Held in "Childhood Days" was no better than "Children Days" was far seen here before, but pleased. The last half of last week had Greenlee and Drayton, the artist dancers, and Danny, the musician. The white acts were the Four English Comiques, with comedy and pantomime librettists, and the musicals of joy and steam roller novelists. Chrisholm and Breen in "Shop Girl Romance," gave ample satisfaction to the audience. The lesquee. The Kokomo Kids did excellent work in athletics. Reser and Reed performed a variety of instruments that are a novelty and will go stronger by incessant practice but their selections need a little refinement. The orchestra concert is scheduled for a matinee Tuesday, November 9th. Henry Drake Scores in Burlesque at The Monogram. It was a good thing that Henry Drake put on a burlesque farce-comedy comedian and it will probably surprise the patrons who saw him to note that the drunkard scene was strong, natural and realistic. Ethel Walker was good in the leading female role and that she has a good voice. The boy dancers and the rest of the company were good and free from tights and Drake really knows how to regulate a show. In the cast were William Bailey, Floy Brown, Jennie McCormick, Sam Davis and Owens, Rosetta Mayberry, Carrie Johnson and others. Sam Davis led the orchestra and was cornered for offering a next week will be a Trip to Zulu Lung. Claybron Jones Plays at the New Monogram. Claybron Jones and his players were an old puzzle but a new and interesting attraction. The company gives a career to the players, a speciality and a comedy military act introducing Claybron Jones, the Yama mama. Jama mama drew the dawn on his past record and while his military comedy was good, he forgot to sing the song which made him famous. The opening drama was a matrimonial in which the good kind matrimonial and Christian sanction was too sacred and to be followed by comedy similarity mixes. The evil kind was Ella Hayes and the good Ella Hayes were great in their speciality. The last play was a real comedy. Frank De Lyon as the captain of comedy redemption. There was a little too much shooting. The cast included El Lankford, John Lennon, Lizzie Thompson and their own orchestra, Travelee McMahon, Joe Sudler and Curtis Mosby. Program of the Movies.

From there he will train and his friends on State street will lock arms with him maybe, pretty soon. Billy King was captured by the movie magnates during his one week's rest before his departure for New York City. From there he will train and his friends on Lafayette, November 8th, for an indefinite period. King's salary to appear in the comedy role in "The Hired fussed" for the movies was $200.00 per day. As we went to press Joe Jordan arrived in town from his European tour, looking the picture of health. He was up directly after he had entered the door of Teenan Jones' place, the new actor's paradise. He was immediately in State street strolled by the writs and a milieu book by the proprietor, as he smiled. The "Birth of a Nation" was a good name for a picture movie that shows how the southern people oppose the civility of and embarrass the white people of the north. I was asked to comment on the movie, and I am proud that we are justified in rebelling against such a picture the rebellion does but little good even to the black people. It only serves to add publicity to the drawing qualities of the show. If the picture is harmful, it should not be prohibited by the eighty per cent of the white people of the nation. Its preservation is to bring sympathy to a weak minority race of people who have been badly imposed upon and misrepresented by the white people. It at long range and its editor who is the biggest coward I know, rakes up news from the black people and would be bravely fighting first for the welfare of his people at home. Why don't the Defender in the movie be bravely going to mystery. Are murderers to go free in Chicago as an menace to civil life? Hon. J. Gray Lucas, attorney-at-law, who has offices in the Union Bank Building, 25 North Dearborn street, had the contract, it seems, for and furnished the big 600 chorus for the Lincoln Jubilee Exposition.

The Whitman sisters, with their company, came into town last week, unannounced in advance in advance, pretty fact that their presence was not known until the engagement was about halfway, and that those who attended the earlier performances. Miss Essie, the superb wore three stunning gowns, each with a different hand of the lady patrons of the house. She put over a good number, "Bring loving and caring to Miss Alberta and as usual, with her Wonder Will They Find a Place for Little Black Me." She is a "scream" of a dream, "Baby Alice" is one of the best back and wing dancers on the stage and is growing up. Miss Geerude Strufin, substituting for Miss Mae Whitman, sings nicely and wears her clothes in a dress. Miss Auron, and George are funny, and the skirts at a lively clip throughout The Whitmans are a clever aggregation of the fact stands out as plainly as the nose on a Hebrew's face that they need on a Hebrew's face that they need to expect in a "box-office attraction" in this "neck-o-the-woods." They are too capable a group of performers to be compliments to be hidden beneath an antiquated and inadequate vehicle. Miss Susie Sutton is doing her character specialty this week at the Standard in Philadelphia. The Waltons are doing a splendid musical and Italian act at Dudley's this week. The Raglans, eight in number, are doing a musical and Italian skit. Mr. Johnson the central figure catches the crowd with his one-string violin and sensational dancing. Miss Herriette, Vinton Davis is being urged to enter vaudeville and put on a series of playlets of a standard character, depicting phases of Negro life in the 19th century of dramatic construction, all to be in tabloid and utilizing the services of about four capable actors. Noble Lee Sissie, who is entertaining through the season at the Jardin D'Dance-Kernan in Baltimore, ran over one day this week and the music will be remembered by the music-lovers of the capital as the composer and demonstrator of the lifting song, the "All Your Fault," of the town by the ears, as it were. Irvin C. Miller's big show is scheduled to open at the Standard in Philadelphia next Monday evening. The company embraces a good number of the styles it is expected they will put over a musical comedy that will live and prosper. Miss Ester Bigeon and Miss Lottie Gorman will sing comediennes, are among Mr. Miller's gilted support. The exceptionally fine bill at the Howard this week is headed by Edward Tolliver and Miss Goldie Chappelle, the "swell duo," who sing a witty talking along with their refreshing act, Miss Chappelle, who is invariably styled "one of the prestest women on the stage," and some dainty gowns and this week's songs beautifully "My Pen Sketch of Thurston, the Magician A RAG AND A BONE AND A HANK OF MAN TAKES LIFE AND DANCE THE TRANG.

Tolliver and Lincoln, New York City, next week. AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE. Owley and Kirkpatrick, Burns and Burns, Gail Woods, Anna Holt, Holly Woods, Woods The act with a little elaboration—a little addition would make a hit here if he has had it copyrighted for protection. Burns and Burns, Sandy and Gretchen appear in an unusual act—a play called Soldier Life. Miss Burns appears first neatly attired as a leutenant, during this appearance she recites Laska," a poem, in which she puts dash and action along with the rather dramatic lines. Later Burns comes on, doing the comedy. He is trying to make good his escape from the army, the leutenant is still fighting fast. The onrush of the Mexicans is the conclusion when there is considerable action. The parts were well taken. McGarr and Tanzell are a breezy pair of workers. McGarr is particularly happy in his work—a bunch of fun all himself. His jokes are big winners. Miss Tanzell is a capable performer. Her stage movements are winsome, her singing is charming, and her singer. They have an entertaining act. Anna Holt, singer, is a new one to the Crown Theater patrons. She is a singer who has a strong stage presence is attractive. Her first number, "Beautiful Roses," was sung with a fresh, sweet voice. Tone-wise, she is a plaintive air and sung accordingly—in an appealing voice. Her song was a plaintive "Game of Love." In this number Miss Holt gets away from the rather dignified style of her first two songs, and she uses a style that took well. Its a love song all right. She was nicely received in all of her work. Her numbers, voice, music make for a winning combination. Johnnie Woods, ventriloquist de Luxe, wrote the song that bit more interesting in his dialogues with his doll. There is only one verdict for him—positively the best in his work. She sees and hear him and little old Henry. STRING BEANS PACKS BOOKER WASHINGTON IN ST. LOUIS.

As a race we have a predilection toward eating, and we eat with a happy smile. We are the others the morrow. Scientists tell us that most people dig their graves with their teeth. If this be true, most of us colored people are not digging their graves in the grave. We love to eat, and no matter how poor we may be, so long as we can raise the price, we eat the graves. We love to eat by stitting our stomachs, there will be no wealth. I have seen an Italian laborer make a noodley meal from a loaf of bread, and we eat better give a colored laborer some hot cornbread, ham and cabbage, or something equally substantial if there is to be a difference. When one considers that eating is one of our greatest pleasures, the greater the wonder that there are not a larger number of restaurants in which to indulge this pleasure. In the colored district of any city the places masquerading as restaurants greatness and beauty. They are not hard to find; the pungent odor of boiled cabbage or stewed chlitungse" usually gives advance notice of the presence of smoke covered windows one catches a dim light and smokes the congealed in cold grease, pies, cakes and biscuits arranged in anything but an appetizing display. One of the windows, it will receive another shock upon entering the place. The effluent eminating from the kinds of food in a kitchen that is nearly always adjacent to the dining room, neither having any ventilation, is al Short order restaurants have a sliding scale of prices, and that scale generally slides upward when we appear on the menu. We are asked to reply: "Most anything you want." We know that means we are only to want pork chops, ham, sausages, potatoes, butter and milk are usually just out, or else we are asked an extra charge for these luxuries. We are seldom served over two slices of bread; if any of the slices are not served, No matter how deficient the supply, there is never any diminish in the charge. I stood by a laborer who had hot cakes, when he left the table he handed the propriator 20 cents. I sat in the very same place and asked for the very same order. It was served to me the same quantity, and 20 cents. The service is usually poor. We find, if a number of us enter one of these places at the same time, those who order service at the same time will serve forget the first order given. Eating is my "long suit," and I made it a gift to me. I will wait as much as I serve so often that it became a standing joke with the company. Now I enter last, make a lot of fuss, take a table near me, and wait for waitress every time they enter from the kitchen. I admit this isn't playing the game according to "Hoyle," which is fair in business, but I love to eat and to fight to get it. There's the excuse. There are first-class hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms, in which we have been served when one considers the vast number of the other kind distributed about the country. * * * * Colored fairs in the South are becoming more numerous and popular and they are a credit to the people who give them. We often see exhibitions and amusements that the white fairs give, and are largely attended by white and colored. Some of the exhibits are about the history of the people of the North could see them they would have a more wholesome respect for their colored brothers and sisters in the Great Southern Cradle, of North Carolina, had to NEWS OF THE PLAYERS.

Many of those who attended the concert came early and built bonfires so they could stay late. This week is our first week in opera house. Great crowds gather here and the concerts and the house was packed from top to bottom by the men, women and children who plauched the stage at the great Splegel scientific lectures on most every disease known to human race. Mr. Robert Miller, alto and saxophone, and Mr. Miss Essie Loma, pianist and soprano singer. Both have to be great additions to the company, but with his band, playing classical and standard selections, Mr. say to the colored people at the North Carolina, Negro Fair; "I know there have been many people who did oppose your education and they did so because they thought it would be better for them," she told a story that Senator Vance once said that "instead of teaching a colored man "hic, hace, hoc," they'd better teach him "gice, gice, gice," she said. She taught the Negro, and I think it ought to be taught the white man. And I don't think that because either is educated he would be able to teach it because I am proud of North Carolina's colored people. They are the best in the world (great applause). I am not saying that because either is educated he would be able to teach it because it because of what you have done. There are intelligent colored men in this audience whose fathers and mothers were born in bondage, but they ought not to be taught it because of what they have accomplished something that I never knew any man to accomplish. I have heard of a man who was a very diligent meeting who was asked if she had ever seen a perfect woman. She said she never saw one, but she had heard of one—her husband's first wife (laughter). She had only heard of it. "Why, I saw something a few minutes ago that makes the man who grew this vine so much better. Wake county Negro farmer, who made 1,000 pounds of lint cotton on one acre of land. Think two bales of cotton on one acre of land. Think two bales of cotton on one acre is a good citizen. He is a progressive man. He produces two bales of cotton on one acre to his race (great applause). "Why, you have helped to raise enough Irish potatoes to put them in three bushels. He has raised three times as much from the seaboard to the summit of the Great Smoky mountains, and you have raised three times as much for Irish sweet potatoes are three times as good as Irish. You have raised 11,000,000 bushels of hay over bushels on earth and bison. You have raised 685,000 bales of cotton. But there'll be no cotton picked in North Carolina today. All the pickers "But let me give you a little advice. I know you are going to plant more cotton this year, but I want to plant more on the 685,000 bales this year than the 335,000 last year. There's no way to stop you from growing more cotton (hugger). So go ahead and plant all you please. Nobody can stop you. But before you do, you need to eat more bread (Cries of Amen, and Gawd bless that toking man). Then the winds of adversity may come and the rains may come and the floods may come and the hell may be thrown in for good measure, but your house will stand because it is built upon meat and bread." (Great applause.) A grand reception and ball was tendered to the Smart Set Company while they were building the Masonic Temple and was largely attended by the best people of the city. Messrs. Simmons and Martin were responsible for the ocean which was greatly present. Miss Ethelle Proctor was given a rousing reception by friends and relatives in her home town, Asheville, N. C. A large bouquet of carnations and American beauty was presented to her across footlights. Lester McDaniels, champion trick biceps and well-known vaudeville and minstrel performer, has fully recovered from his severe illness, but his chances are good if he listens to the advice of his mother, with whom he has a beautiful seven-room cottage in the suburb of the city and a farm, where they raise all the necessities of life, a few family items. We have the opportunity to meet the mother and sister, also Mrs McDaniels. They gave us a genuine Southern accent and the ladies very lovely people. Lester sends best regards to his many friends. Buster Fowler, known as the quiet and competent stage manager, with his assistant, Mr. Nolan Washington, the king of birdimitators, are putting on some shows that send them home so we all read the Freeman here and every Saturday it seems like Xmas to them. It comes, as it brings good news and glad tidings from our brothers and sisters in the profession and other walks on the campus. We reach through any other source. The bunch send regards to all in and out of the profession. Geo. Christian would care less from A. J. Sellers; write care of them. NEW YORK NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.)

Our concert is as follows: A minute and a half, Mr. J. W. Beecher makes them sit up and take notice when he puts on his soft shoe dance. Mrs. May Langford is singing "One Wonderful Night" and perhaps only, Mr. J. W. Beecher is using the song of "The Tulip and the Rose" with much success. Mr. Jesse Perkins is using the song of "The Tulip and the Rose" with much success. Mr. Jesse Perkins is using the song of "The Tulip and the Rose" with much success.

Week of October 25, Buster, the High Diving Dog a Drawing Card. There was a strong bill at this theater last week. Carrie Wells, Emma Diving Dog, and the Means, Miss Wells opened singing "Dancing the Blues Away," and made good. The Diving Dog, the Means, and the greatest acrobats, whom you all know have no equals, wish to state they are not only acrobats, but are presenting one of the most skillful and high-class boys out all known, that Tumu's witness. After the engagement the boys took a trip home. Next was Emmett Athony, the yodler, and the boy favorite and always makes good. Not least but last come Means & Means, America's greatest and undisputed star of the R.O. house. Their act was a complete riot, for it is an act like the Waltz Bros.—one that is the best of all. They are good anywhere, and Buster, the high diving dog, is the greatest free attraction ever witnessed in front of a card. Buster belongs to Means & Means, Joseph M. Means, trainer.

Ball showed up ta a. first-class fighter, but Was surely not In condition Or went too fast in the early rounds Patterson had a hard time Keeping up lwith Ball for the first four rounds, as Bul seemed. to have some scientific foot work. Patterson reached Ball tme ind again with short-arm punches that kave him a bad lip and bad eye that Showed up. the next’ morning. Both Doys worked well and the audience was pleased with the fight. While Promoter Beachem promised Ball a return mateh. The preliminary Was another good go between Lewis kid) Upton and Gyelone’ Rudolph. These boys went in, both weighing 105 pounds. They were fighting every minute of the four rounds, and. the audience applauded time ahd again for the many ducks and swings the boys missed. ‘There was wo deciaton, but the general belief was that Hpton was the aggressor, The writer can not close without making mention of the big battle royal whieh headed the contest, between Tom Kelly, George Taylor, Charles Metcalf, George. Spratts, and’ Green Caldwell, "These boys were all employes of L. R. Fieg, the contractor from Loulsvilte, who had gotten thet training with the Pick, andvanovel, They fought for, a feast fifteen minutes without a rest. George, Spracts knocked, Charles, Met- cait cold in a minute or two but he re- covered and went at least five minutes longer. “The fight wis won by Green Caldwell, and the peculiar part was that he ‘had only one, eye: the other being totally’ blind.
