Noted Educator and Race I. Breakdown on Last WAS IN POOR HEALTH FOR The Distinguished Leader was Taken S. was Placed in a Hospital, from Whi- eral Services were Held at Tuske- ted by Fully S,000 People—Man. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted educator and race leader, died at 4:45 o'clock Sunday morning, November 14. Tuskegee, Institute, he had stayed in failing health for the past two years, a fact which was not generally known except by those who were im- mediately around him. In the effort to regain his health he spent two weeks at the summer home of Clarence W. Allen, of Mobile, Ala. The home from September 17 to October 1, at which time he returned to Tuskegee so much improved that he resumed his On October 25 at New Haven, Conn., before the National Council of Congregational Churches Mr. Washington delivered his best speech of his lifetime. On returning to New York, November 3, he virtually collapsed, doubtless, and his delivery of his great speech. The news soon flashed over the country that Dr. Washington had informed the city of the fact that he found it necessary to go to a hospital was very disturbing to his many friends throughout the country, but there were misgivings, and because he was known to be so courageous, refusal, health or, at least, refused to complain. Specialists regarded his condition so critical that he was sent home. The belief was that his end was near. He was received with much sorrow at the institute. The buildings were draped in mourning and school work churches throughout the state the death of Mr. Washington was announced and special prayers were offered. Dr. Washington's Career. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Normal Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., according to one author, was born in Hale's Hale Ford Postoffice, Franklin county, Virginia. His mother was Mrs. Jane Hale, his father was his course, due to the slavery period in which he was born, the years in which he was married, the time of his birth, the educator not knowing himself the exact date of his birth. Importance of slave bables; they were merely additional assets to the common stock by way of chattel. James Boroughs. He had very little to say of his father, but he said that he had heard that white man on a neighboring plantation. The Name Booker. Like a great one who preceded him, Frederick Douglass, he very early had a fondness for books. It is even said that he was called Booker because of his love of books. He was likely that this is true because a book in a Negro boy's hand at this time naturally would have attracted attention, and he was tempted for his early desire for books as anything else, and on which fondness his future eminence hanged. He was opportune time. His formative period was during the country's upheaval when his beginning days of consciousness when peace came was the time that he was found with his books, attracting attention by his devotion to them. At the close of the war his family, West Virginia, where he had the pleasure of attending the common schools. It was not possible for the boy to purchase books at school. In fact, he could only attend about three months in the year, the other nine months he worked in a saloon, thus, the mother died in a short while after going to Malden, after which time he was fortunate in securing a place to live. He mother died in a short while after going to Malden, after which time he was fortunate in securing a place to live. He mother died in a short while after going to Malden, after which time he was fortunate in securing a place to live. He was permitted to attend school, working nights and mornings. In 1872 it was possible for him to attend the Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va. Setting the Best of His Name: According to his own account of it, he was greatly embarrassed when the teacher asked what his name was and one outcome—Booker. But he was a quick minded and resourceful lad and on the second day, when the teacher again said his full name, he said without hesitation: "My name is Washington—Booker T. W. He thought that while he was selecting a name he might as well select a good one. The "T." he explained, "Ta-ta-ta." Ta-ta-ta-ta, and heard, was the name of his father. Going to Hampton. He was assisted at Hampton by his brother, John H. Washington, and by friend who donated him small amounts of money from time to time. What starting to Hampton he thought that he had money enough to pay his travel expenses. Owing to his miscalculation, he found on reaching Richmond, Va., that his cash on hand would not pay for a night's lodging and pay the balance of his way to his affection he found to to to the regular way of lodging, he spent the night under the sidewalk. The next he found an odd job of work, which he did to reach the goal of his ambition. He was监护 one year during his stay at Hampton. He graduated in 1875, after which he taught for three years at Malden. Continues His Studies at Wayland. Mr. Washington continued his studies at Wayland Seminary, Washington, D. C. While at Wayland he was invited to become a teacher at Hampton and then it was remained for two years, until 1881. He taught at Tuskegee Ala., appealed to Gen. S. C. Armstrong for an institution along the lines of the school at Hampton, an institution that taught well citizens, teach them self-respect, give them the ability to support themselves, stir them with proper ambition. Hundreds of persons were recommended for the place as head of the new institute, many of them much better known than Washington, but who were much less well known. Withekus Tuskegee he found there had been no land or buildings provided—that there was nothing, in fact, except the promotion of $2,000 annually toward the expenses of the school. But Mr. Washington went to work with immense pride, tremendous energy and optimism that he brought to life. His Small Beginning His Small Beginning. He began to teach in a small school, having only for the instruction of thirty pupils. From that time on the growth of the institution grew, and he sent a gun to send from Tuskegee a new sort of Negro, a youth who was of competent mind and hand, who had self-reliance, and who had an adequate living, who wanted to be a good citizen. Persons all over the country became interested in Tuskegee and the man who was a Negro, and they flowed in. Extensions became possible. Now Tuskegee possesses property worth $2,000,000 or more, uses fifty homes, and lives in a land. Annually from 1,500 to 2,000 young Negro men and women are taught how to make their lives count for themselves, for their race and for their country. His Married Life. In the summer of 1882 Mr. Washington was married to Miss Fannie N. Smith, of West Virginia, who died after they had had been married not quite long before her death. She married Miss Olivia A. Davidson, who became a valuable assistant. Getting Before the Public. "The trustees allowed a budget for the year for current expenses and improvements amounting to $288,303.51. I am grateful that they spent the budget for current expenses, but am glad to say that we have underspent the budget for improvements, so that the net over-expenditure in two accounts amounts to $7,452.22. "As of May 31st, we have received from all sources for current expenses $288,825.17; for buildings and improvements $102.09; for undergraded legends, $288,858.10; making the total receipts for the purpose named for the year $279,704.83. "We give to the Endowment Fund for the year amounting to $282,102.09 now make the fund stand at $1,970,214.17." A widow, three children and four grandchildren survive. John H. Washington, a brother of the president of the USkegee Institute. The funeral was held at Tuskegee Institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. An incident of Washington's career made him the center of a nation-wide movement, either by formal or informal protest of protest from many quarters and some hostility was shown toward the Negro educator afterward. His work was recognized and he commended to have the accomplishment of the white people in both the INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1915 P.

Telegrams of condolence on the death of Dr. Washington poured into the institute all day and late into the night at the home of Dr. Washington's bright and endearful in all walks of life. William G. Wilcox, treasurer of the investment committee of the board of trustees of the Nationalational calamity, but his spirit will still live to inspire and carry forward his great work. William R. Scott, confidential secretary to Dr. Washington for eighteen years, said: "A story of the life which came to an end this morning was its dedication to the service of both races, North and South. He will be remembranced for his sympathies and activities whose sympathies and activities broad enough to include all races and all movements looking to the better." Isaac Fisher, president of the Tuskegee Alumni Association, said: "With the death of Dr. Washington closes one chapter of Negro history, whole world poorer today because he has gone."

And in this connection it is well to bear in mind that whatever other sins the Sino-Tibetan people it is the South that the Negro is given a man's chance in the commercial world and in nothing is the exposition more chance. Our greatest danger is, that in the great leap from slavery to freedom we will prosper in proportion as ours to live to live by the productions of our hands, and to keep in mind that we shall prosper in proportion as common labor and put brains and skill into the common occupation of life; shall prosper in proportion as superficial and the substantial, the ornamental few games of life and the useful.

WASHINGTON. In the passing of Dr. Booker T. Washington the race loses its foremost member and the country one of its most useful citizens. Other race men have won distinction before his days, but in other fields, especially statesmanship and politics Such men as Douglass, Bruce, Langston reached eminence in those fields. Scores of others can well be cited who became more or less distinguished in other lines of endeavor. But until Booker T. Washington came with his new (old) philosophy of providing a fitting ground work for a beginning race, no one had greatly busled himself in that direction. The industrial idea as a school lesson was old enough, but he saw the real challenges of applying it to the needs of his people who were groping their way to the citizenship in reality which so suddenly fell to them—the result of the country's most troublesome days. Booker T. Washington happened to be the man of the hour, just as Abraham Lincoln was the man of the hour. The assertion is not meant to detract from what is due him in the least. For with the hour a man had to be born, if a great work were to be done, one who knew what to do and when to do it. Had he not come along with his peculiar insight, perhaps, there would have been no Tuskegee. And when this is said he knew that he had this great institution, standing like a civic foundation, sendings its inspiration through the race like electrical impulses, giving life and character to all things touched. This is Tuskegee, and as conceived by the master. It may not be that Dr. Washington conceived the whole Tuskegee plan at the very beginning. He was no less for that; since he had the endowment—the rare discernment, the judgment, which after all are the underlying qualities of greatness. He was great as an executive. This means that as the years went by new possibilities for the institution were made available to the men who he saw, it is charitable to say so; but other men did not seize the opportunities. Other men lacked the initiative, the address or proper mode of attack when pressing their causes, if they pressed them at all. Nor must we think that Dr. Washington was humbler than he' should have been. His speech at Atlanta, Ga., in 1895, and which appears elsewhere in this issue was like as the sermon on the mount when it comes to expressions that will not perish. But very little revision of his utterances of that day is needed if any at all. Our race did have, and do have a fondness for beginning at the top. It is not altogether a bad fault since it signifies pride and ambition. But to have these without the ground work of the common and necessary useful is just as wrong as it was twenty years ago. He insisted on casting the bucket down where you are. This application may not be so strict today, but it holds good. Our race is prodigal with its opportunities—with its means. Of course, there is not opportunity for wide excursions into the affairs of the other race, but we can not get away from the fact that we have practically unbound opportunities right within the race. Dr. Washington, in former years, met some objection to his educational views among his own people. The objection, however, grew less as the years went by, when it was found that he was not trying to make his education the "state" education for the Negro race. He at no time took stand against the higher education. He clung to his own views that the masses had to be trained along the lines of their probable future employment—a very sane doctrine—leaving it to the elect and the well prepared to take on as much education as they could get. Tuskegee features industrialism, but it must not be forgotten that the proponent of the school's partnership奏es every demand of this agency, fulfuring the argument that Tuskegee stood for limitations. In his Atlanta speech he said: "There is no defense or security for any of us except in the high intelligence and development of all." Tuskegee rapidly grew in importance as the years went by, and as the master mind took advantage of passing opportunities. Here were his wisdom and greatness, all compelling; executive as we have said, marshaling about him centers of influence, groups and individuals that made for a distinct Tuskegee idea, and as announced in its preamble. Tuskegee is a university, differing only from the institutions best known by that name in that Dr. Washington's school dealt with the things more nearly in reach of the masses. The student is actually fitted for the world in which he is to move. He is in daily contact with the probable things of his whole career. The beauty of such a thing was appealing. Only a few men of wealth could keep their purses closed when he spoke of the general uplift of citizenship, through his institution, thus contributing to the stability—the tranquility of the state. Preparedness for citizenship was the keynote; it was finely plausible, and Dr. Washington successfully moved among us, the apostle of an educational righteousness that could not be assailed. North and south, east and west, gave support to Tuskegee, continued support, proving the undeniable value of the man and his institution. His one shanty, and then a few more, grew and grew until the day of his death, when Tuskegee was like a city—a perfect city. No thing is wanting to make it complete. It is pleasurable, convenient to the many students and a delight to visitors. As for usefulness Dr. Booker T. Washington was the foremost man of his race. Very few men of any race have wrought so usefully for mankind. The great inventors are held blessed, and they are, and the great Negro educational pathfinder was like them. What he gave the Negro race, including his great skill in managing it, constitutes his greatness. It will not be possible to see him in parts. He was a most pleasing, persuasive, interesting speaker. He had success as a teacher. He had the art of generalizing men, and in other directions he measured with thoughtful men generally. But it was the total man that made for the great Dr. Booker T. Washington his great work and great personality. He found himself at home and at ease in the best society; kings and presidents found him agreeable and companionable, just as he appeared to the humblest of his own race. Tact was his forte—this with his talent and cause, were the open sesame to hearts and homes. The great Exposition Number of The Freeman issues from the press December 25, 1915. The great exposition number of The Freeman issues from the press December 25th. It will be expositional in the very best sense, setting forth the best fruits of the race in demonstration of its progress up until this time. Our effort is to supplement the work of the expositions, thus maturing the festival of commemoration complete and satisfactory. It is due the race and also the country in general to take a high-toned, dignified view of the matter. We are conceding limited free space to churches, lodges and other organizations. All especially solicited matter is also entered free. Dr. Booker T. Washington Dead (Concluded from Page One) forcing. No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the country, but it is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but is vastly more important that we be prepared to accept the privilege. The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar. Booker T. Washington Visited Indiana Belleville, 1899. His First Visit. Booker T. Washington's first speech in the North was made in Indianapolis in 1896. Mr. Washington was brought here by the Indianapolis Literary Club. Mr. Washington had a literary club had some of the best-known men in Indianapolis as members, among whom were Charles W. Bankbanks, William H. Browne, editor of The News. Members of the club had noted with interest the speech made the year before by Mr. Washington at the great cotton exposition at Atlanta, Ga., and brought what was Washington's first trip north. Since that time, Mr. Washington had been in Indianapolis many times. He was the guest of the McCullough Memorial Club, of the Plymouth church, and the next time as the guest of the Roberts Park church. On all these occasions composed of white persons. He was here for the Bethel A. M. E. League in 1904 and the Colored Python conclave in 1910. His last visit was in 1915, when he ordered Y. M. C. A., July 8, 1913. At that time he was the guest of Mrs. C. J. Walker, an old brown-colored man in Indianapolis. H. L. Sanders, Merchant and Manufacturer—Mr. Washington was the greatest man of our race; he had done much for our people than any other man. James N. Shelton, Undertaker—the greatest man that ever lived. Our race has lost its greatest asset. J. H. Lott, Attorney—As an educator the greatest man that ever produced, and an fact, among the greatest any nation has produced. His system of education is the only system that can solve the greatest problem. Dr. A. Furnis, Physician—The death of Mr. Washington is a great shock not only to the colored race but to the white race. Theponent of industrial education, he will also go down in history as one of the greatest men of the period in which he died, because we have been so closely associated in the work of the National Negro Business Men's League. While in Indianapolis he always A. E. Manning, Publisher of the World—In the death of Mr. Washington the country loses one of the greatest leaders in history, and no one can take his place. Ever since I introduced him to his first Indianapolis audience in 1896, he had been a close personal friend of mine, and I was born in New York only a few weeks ago.

Washington's work among the members of the political advance only after he had achieved economic independence and stability. He This policy brought Dr. Washington into conflict with many other leaders of the Negroes, but he maintained it from the beginning of the work at the White House, and the progress of the blacks in the United States than were those with whom he could not agree as to methods; their dispute was over the means to be used, not the end to be sought. The school was a possible instrument for the solution of a pressing problem. Did the school's success depend on Dr. Washington's energy and personality, or on the installation order to continue it? Such questions will be answered in the not remote future; it is to be hoped that the institution in which he labored for more than a generation possesses the apparatus and personnel necessary and growth as a memorial to this sensible and interest- to its continuance and growth as a memorial to this sensible and interesting educator.—New York Sun.

Born in slavery, emancipation made it possible for the youth to develop whatever lay in him. His success came, though Mr. Washington's attainments were above the ordinary level of men of all races. He was born in Virginia, just when or exactly where, he never learned. His mother was a slave. Of his father he knew nothing, but he was a slave. He was the teacher to the care of a stepfather. The youth was set to work in a West Virginia salt furnace, and his first letters were the symbols on a barrel. Later he worked in a coalf mine. His ambition caused him to save money and education. Hampton Institute was established later, and in this school Mr. Washington had his first teaching experience. He took the building of what is known as the Tuckkegee Institute. The enterprise was promoted by Colonel George W. Campbell, a former slave owner, and Lewis Adams, a former slave. Mr. Washington began work in a shanty and an abandoned church. He was the teacher to the property of land. His buildings number 190. The property is worth $500,000. In the school each year Negroes are sent out as qualified teachers. This success was due largely to Mr. Washington's earnestness attracted the friendly aid of many persons. Mr. Carnegie called him "the combined Moses and Joshua of his people." Mr. Washington gained a substantial reputation as an author and publicist. An orphanage was established in 1891. In 1901 he received the honorary degree of doctor of laws at Dartmouth. Mr. Washington's was a useful life. "Success," he once wrote, "depends upon ability to do something useful, to perform some kind of service that the man can do, and to help themselves; then no one will need to help them."—Indianapolis News.

A man of my mother's people, and his chosen mission have risen to eminence as soldiers, a leader, and an inker. In either of those field natural gifts. With Booker T. Washington, the it was different. He came to manhood he had risen to eminence, and made a breach between the races that educated, but deeper in his nature that inspired. He was a great Alabama. He was his own ideals. He had a greater voice he was educated. There the northern race, the southern race, the races in their dealings with the races, both races in his veins, knew there was the fundamental idea that the Negro graft on the white man's civilization cessation. Washington also had the faculty he could induce other people to give it to him. He was the work of the people, also a great work, designating a great man. Alabama recognizes his usefulness, fairer understanding between the races and this state claims to have devolved people—Birmingham (Al.) Leger. The ablest man of Negro blood that has ever stood before the world was Booker T. Washington. A man of mixed blood, his choice was with his mother, people, and friends. He was a risen eminence as soldiers, and Fred Douglas distinguished himself as an orator. In either of those fields distinction is easy when founded on natural gifts. Booker T. Washington, the Washington of the southern Negroes, it was different. He came to manhood after the great war, when prejudice was high and when the mistaken reconstruction policy of the North had made a breach between the races that the war had not made. He was well known and admired. He was an inspired call to do something for the people of his mother's work and inspired call to do something for the people of his mother's life. He came to Alabama and started work on his own ideas and after his own ideals. He had a groader view than the school at Hampton, where he was educated. He was the difference between the races, that idea which has made our northerners fail in their dealings with other races. Booker Washington, with the blood of the Negroes, was the fundamental idea that the Negro must grow of himself and graft on the white man's civilization. Therefore his work has been successful. Washington also had the faculty of impressing his ideas on others, and he could induce other people to give liberally to carry them out. After forty years the work of a man this leader, this organizer, stands out as clearly a great work, designating a great man, and his influence in bringing about a fairer understanding between the races. His life work was done in Alabama, and this state claims to have developed Washington as he developed his people—Birmingham (Ala.) Ledger. The Rev. G. W. Ward and F. B. Ransom, Mr. Ransom was sent to convey a floral tribute and the sympathy of Mrs. C. J. Walker, who is in Montana, and who could not reach Tuskegee in the north. The death of Booker T. Washington constitutes a great loss to the colony. The Educator In Boston. Booker T. Washington, head of the famous Tuskegee Institute and recognized leader of the colored people, was born in 1807. He gave many lectures and addresses before men and women of his own race and in the churches in behalf of his school and the advancement of the race. He was welcomed into many Boston homes, and in 1807 was the recipient of a scholarship from the sons of Boston when Masonic degrees were conferred upon him by the grand lodge, the Masonic Institute. Mr. Washington was the imamate friend of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Cleveland and was a frequent visitor to the Masonic administrations. His institute received generous support from many of the leading financiers of the country. He was given by the Carnegie Pension Fund Commission. For several years Mr. Washington occurred a summer home at Waymouth. He traveled extensively and on one of his visits visited the city given an audience by the King and Queen of Denmark, during which he was urged to establish a school in the Dumont West Indies similar to that at Denmark.

His work was not always successful, but he demonstrated his ability as a speaker, student and administrator in no uncertain terms to the people of this country. The Rev. Aaron W. Puller, pastor of the People's Baptist church, said: "The death of Dr. Washington is an international and an inter-racial loss. He was a man of great abilities into vehicles and wings that carried him irresistibly toward the goal of his ambition, the betterment of his country. "Dr. Washington was not a man of one idea, as he has been sometimes styled. Deprived of a college education, he was one of the best read and broadest-minded scholars with whom I have ever talked. "He was, in my humble mind, the most intelligent white and black races in this country.

Wilson said: "In many ways Mr. Washington was easily the most distinguished man of his generation, the heritance of slavery and all the handcaps of race prejudice. He was in turn subjected to the fiercest criticism and given adulation approaching hero work, the two extreme wings of the colored people and the one of low him or to forgive him for abandoning the insistence upon political rights; the second believing in the promulgation of property acquisition and the line of least resistance to get it.

At a preliminary conference, Mr. Henry Lassiter, who has directed the largest demonstration of the nation's WWI veterans named as chairman of the general committee, with Mr. R. W. Thompson of the United States Church has been chosen as the place for the meeting and the date is set for early in January. The principal committee has already been interested into, is one of the nation's most illustrious personalities, and when his consent has been seen accepted, he will be made. The name will suggest itself as the fittest American to give utterance to the country's exalted sentiments of the nation's premier statesman, orator, educator, administrator, writer and philosopher. The proprietary interest of the nation's premier statesman is strengthened by the fact that at one time he was a student in Wayland and Mt. Pleasant. The local committee will be enlarged to include the race's most representative men and women, and selected from among the ablest spokesmen of the generation. Emmett J. Scott Popular Choice for the Sportswear It is too early to talk definitely of a successor to Dr. Washington as the official head of Tuskegee Institute, but he is not the only person to inject, and the people are bound to express some preferences in the matter. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the work of the fallen chieftain is the first lieutenant, who has helped Dr. Wash- BARNARD ideals, standards and purposes of the founder of the school. Mr. Scott, allied with the man of marked mental force, of proved executive ability, and is known more intimately by the friends of Tuscarawas than any other man in the land. The trustees can be depended upon to make a wise selection, and for the present school will go on. The compelling energy of Booker T.

Cultivate that dogged spirit of the white pioneer that has changed this locality from a swamp to a restful place. The colored people must now reefify a mistake which they made after their emancipation. They tried to start a business on the top of a riddle in front of a wagon to work with. I am trying to teach my people that they must begin at the bottom—at the soil, and work up. They must learn that they must be a part of all of us.

Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement congratulations on the death of Dr. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man whose own race than had ever been rendered by any one else, and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the country, to mankind, and felt that of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." From The New York Sun. Mr. Washington first became a national character in 1894, when he spoke expressly to the Congress of the Atlantic Exposition. Previously he had acquired more or less local fame as an orator, but on this occasion he was halled as the successor of Frederick Douglass. He groves. Thereafter he was in great demand as a public speaker and appeared before many of the best known organizations in the country. Thereafter he was consulted by President McKinley in regard to matters affecting the Negro. President Roosevelt admired him highly and frequently consulted him. Benton was keenness of his judgment and his sincerity of purpose. Harvard University gave him a degree in 1896 and other colleges conferred in 1897. In 1893 he married Maggie Y. Murray, who became closely identified with the work at Tuskegee. His Creed Concerning Race. Mr. Washington's creed concerning his people may be well expressed in his own words, spoken some years ago in his "We must teach our young people to save their money. We must cease to have the reputation of a spending, shiftless, thriftless, poverty stricken race. It is vitally necessary progress, progress that we become creators of enterprises and not depend on the good will and the energy of other races." Tribute Paid to Him. Ernest Davidson Washington, a son of Booker T. Washington, left New York yesterday afternoon at 4:35 for Tuskegee by the Pennsylvania railroad. He was lecturing in the interest of the Institute when he received a telegram on Saturday night telling him to come home at once. THE PASSING OF BOOKER T WASHINGTON.

The long talked-of troubadours under Chaybourn's direction arrived bag and baggage and opened with a vim to crowded house, as they watched the patrons were anxious to hear that heralded orchestra. The show opened with the service company with a rich chant of Mistress Miss Delyon, humming girl with a jewel voice, whose future will only depend on being properly reputed. Then came the real boy, who made his record as the Yama Man. He put this song over by request. He received an ovation as soon as he hewed the stump, and Delyons offered a bass solo, which went big. Then came a trio with the act we all remember as best little impersonators as ever played the town, in our opinion, putting Dick to test in the show, his messiness as the petite girl, Semura, whose pretty features adds to the real of this act.

NEW YORK CITY—(Special)—Billy King, aptly termed America's advanced playwright and producer, assisted the cast of the award-winning readers, and nine other characters of valued reputation, jumped from the stage to the screen and had filled a successful fifteen weeks' engagement, to fill a three weeks' engagement at the Lafayette Theatre, the company managing of Morganstern & Walton. The company offered for their opening a playlet entitled, "My Old Kenny." In the story, portraying the "pathetic character of "Old Black Joe." The finale of playlet was applauded so variegatedly that the second show that it was necessary to remove the picture curtain, after several feet of film had been run, to allow the company to respond to the call for Notwithstanding Mr. Morganstern sent for Mr. King after the third and last show of the event, and claimed that the "vulgar," Mr. King saw the "trap" and immediately stated to Mr. Morganstern that if in your opinion you heard any other show, you would not use the eliminate same. And furthermore, if the show is not satisfactory, I will give you a complete change of show. Mr. Morganstern refused the offer and said he would not use the show at any rate. It is too bad that the theater-goers on the prowl of the West, including Chicago, where said playlet has been presented numerous times, are so immoral that they gladiate accept and relish the offer. The parable Players have the reputation of being the most versatile entertainers in the show business. It is a common occurrence that no theatre six or seven months, changing shows twice weekly. The company's reputation got a "set back" and the public are anxiously awaiting the real cause of the cancellation. THE PASSING SHOW IN WASH INGTON. (By R. W. Thompson) Washington ranks with New York City and Chicago as a colored theatrical center. The Capital boasts of nine theaters that have a colorful influence of the colored people. The Jewel, 4-1-2 street southwest, is again putting on vaudeville. Last week he put on *Bottle* and *Miss Bertha* Benjamin, put on a neat act, which is to go on out the Dudley circuit soon. They bring Maryland and Virginia cities. Barnes & Davis are making a success of the Jewel. Hiawata, specializing on pictures, has a clientele of its own, and under the clean-cut management of the Murray brothers is one of the bachelor brothers. The Howard's "supper show" have become regular daily "society" events. Mandy brothers some of the bachelor brothers to offer soon in connection with his "supper show." Ivine C. Miller's much talked-of "Broadway Rastus." comes to the Howard next week, at a slight advance in prices. Manager, James, is a premier in Philadelphia and pronounces it "great—a show without a star—all stars." Some high-class actors are coming. Howard contingent is looking for a season of real enjoyment. It is said that Miss Esther Bigeon, in her four weeks here with the Irvin C. Producer company songs to Washington than any other artists our people have heard. Some of the numbers she has written include "Bom-Bom Bay," "Down Among the Sheltering Palms," and "Daddy." Her return next week with "Broadway Rastus" will be warmly歌 that she added to the already richly-laden brows of Miss Abie Mitchell during her recent engagement here was "If the Sands of the Sea Were Pearls," composed by Kate Warner, and proaches the classic in musical quality and Miss Mitchell brings out of it the real opportunities and dramatic feeling. Two other selections that Miss Mitchell put over effectively in her favorite "Daddy," in "Darkydom" she scored with "My Daddy's Lips," her own version of "My Lady's Lips." Johnny Hudgins and Miss Helen Bumbray, two "comers" in the vaudeville area are the best back at the Howard and established themselves as favorites in this "neck of the woods." They came here after an unusually successful engagement with the playhouse and they repeated at our playhouse beautifully the ovation they received in the Quaker City. Mr. Hudgins gives "the black Charlie Chapin." Positive aptitude for comedy that makes one laugh in spite of himself, Mr. Hudgins sings and acts. Rafe Johnson is always good for two or three results. His George Walker Stunt is one of the best ever seen here. Miss Bumbray is a rare intelligence and as the fascinating female drummer of goods speaks her lines distinctly and the cultured "already" is natural to her. She is admirably proportioned, and her stunning gowns set her off to happy advantage. She is the best of the three renditions of "You've Won My Heart" convincingly demonstrated, and she is exceptionally bright, in her chatty manner. She is the best with which they "close strong." Hudgins & Bumbray work together in apple-p order and have the ear marks that are the best of the box-office attractions. They have an extensive wardrobe and change their costumes nightly. They are generalists and the third best of the box-office attractions. This week Hudgins & Brumbray are at the Lincoln, New York City. "Chicken Reel" Beaman, perhaps the best of modern monologists, renewed his former successes in a new melange of humorists. His review of "current events" shows that he reads the news and is a keen observer of fun from what is going on THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER about us. The students from Howard University, who turned out on Thursday night after a big football game, were so excited to see the septem. Mr. Beamman has traveled the country over and although he is in constant demand, is anxious to enter the game. He said he would find him engaged in business somewhere in the West, where he thinks there is offered the best field for the team. He also said that a colored man, Mr. Beamman is one of the few artists who accept finest criticism gracefully. While in company with his wife, he is certain adverse comment of ours last year, touching one of his jokes, set him to thinking so hard that he reached the conclusion, that he was very proud of his work and cut the objectionable joke from his budget at once. Better order is asked for at our theaters. Patrons who pay for seats wish, to enjoy, to listen to the loud conversations going on around them, engaged in by persons not interested in what is going on, should have their managers should have their officers stationed in the "noise zones" prepared in order that they listen to order or get out. Poorly owned, as well as for the peace of others, the Negro theater-goer has the responsibility to must learn to refrain from laughing in the wrong place when emotional photo-plays are being performed, to pay our own money, to insist upon perfect order in their houses. Manager Lew Henry is offering that Dudley's this week a "dandy" trio from the Whitman Sisters' aggregation of the Aaron and Tommy, do one of the best singing and dancing acts that the patrons of the U street house have in mind. The new matter is blended into the performance and it goes with snap and ginger throughout the house, especially the features. For the smaller houses, this idea of dividing an expensive company into sections, is an excellent one—good for the smaller houses, the features easily understood. The Whitmans are "some managers" and in recent months Miss Eless is deserving of the role she has the able manner in which she held the company together and did a record-breaking business, while two of her pitfalls. They are all capable people and the new vehicle demanded by their friends and admirers will be forthcoming in the near future. It will beream. --- James Riley, female impersonator, formerly Hudgins & Riley, has abandoned vaudeville for the time being and is engaged in a business establishment in Baltimore. Newport News, Va., is to have a playhouse, which is music people and new outlets for their talents. Dudley will book the new house, it is said. The Bijon, told test by Frank Brown last year, a colored house with disastrous results, is to make another effort as a place of amusement for whites. The Lyceum, which refused to allow theatrical performances, is also to a play it again for whites, as a part of a vaudeville chain. The Negro is finding little to take him. He is in the "Harlem district," U street, Florida avenue and Seventh street, and the white lights of Fourteenth street. Johnny Peters and his two dancing partners, Miss Louise LeVine and Eddie Rector, filled the large stage last week of the Howard, Mr. Peters is the finest exponent of the race in the modern dances and his whirlwind work, combining speed with grace, is the best of the show and her evolutions, matching those of Mr. Peters, is the poetry of motion. A number of new steps have been introduced to his work with Leubrie Hill. Eddie Rector, a dancer of "class," has added comedy to his equipment and in his own specialty and in the burlesque world, he has finished a job lot of fun. The burlesque piano act on Sunday night was an interpolation that went big. PARK THEATRE, DALLAS, TEX. One of the best bills of the season opened at the Park to S. R. O.

Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review PETER H. HARRIS Manager Morgenstern Uses Tactics to Cut Down Expenses by Cancellation —Failure of the Miller & Lyles Venture to Draw Involved Management —King Enters Suit for Damages. "We have yet to learn the real reason behind the cancellation by the LaTeX Billy King Stock Company, scheduled to have appeared in their repertoire at the time." The management says the performance was cancelled on account of lewdness. Not the Billy King Stock Company has broken all records at the Grand Theater, Chicago, and we refuse to cage it, because it is less advanced morally and intellectually than those of New York. Still the LaFayette cage show was not for its patrons, has a right to such an opinion. But we would like to hear And to add to their statement I will say that Chicago is progressing very rapidly while the city has placed his constructs and case in the hands of eminent council and suit will be entered against the Lafayette management at the Standard Theater, Philadelphia, later in the month. It would be a good thing if New York had a good theater for a week, but on his return I would advise that he open at the Lincoln for an indefinite run. The theater has in least, but rather serves to advertise him and increase his popularity and like the late Sir Henry Irving it will with a following as an actor and his embarkment at the Lafayette may injure the house.
