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. Professor Washington was invited to be the guest of the Unitarian Club of Boston in 1887, he being the first colored man who honored. At the Hotel of the United States, he received a call of which there was so much manifest good pleasure at what he said that the members of the club presented the school a valuable sawmill. However, it was not until 1889 that the school was able to make a fuller and more than that Professor Washington attracted general attention. He was remembered especially for his utterance: "Let down your buckets where you are." He was much more than likely to be the beginning of the great Dr. Booker T. Washington of after years. He was at once in demand as a system of education, and the time of his death he was solicited from all parts of the country to appear before various organizations. His institution became the care of the people. They heard his play, and the people, who were beginning in the little shanty, he reached out by the help of the philanthropically inclined, until this day, when, according to his last report, they were nearly fulling worth a half million dollars. The report: “The school term for 1914-15 began September 8, 1914, with an enrollment in excess of the enrollment of 1,000. The school term was a full-term, as I have said, in about the same as the enrollment of the year, however, as I have said, is about the same as the enrollment for last year, 907 boys and 830 girls, a total of 1,837 from 32 students and 120 from 32 students have also come from 19 foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. This number does not include the 200 in the Children's House, our practice school. The school term for 1914-15 was “the financial condition, complete details of which are shown in our treasurer's report. "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. North and South in striving for the uplift of his race. Condolences Pour In. 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." SPEECH AT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION, 1855 Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Board of Digestors and Citizens: One-third of the population of the South is of the Negro race. No, the prise seeking the material, civil or moral welfare of this section can disregard this element of our population and the need to be met by convey to you, Mr. President and Directors, the sentiment of the masses of my race, when I say that in no way have the value and manhood of the American Negro been more fittingly and generously recognized, than by the managers of this magnificent exposition at every stage of its progress. The great success of the proposed to cement the friendship of the two races than any occurrence since the dawn of our freedom. Not only this, but the opportunity here afforded will awaken among us a new era of industrial progress. It is normal and inexperienced, it is not natural, and in fact, the great success of the new life we began at the top instead of the bottom, that a seat in Congress or the state legislature was more sought than real estate or industrial skill, that the political convention, or stump speaking had more attraction than starting a dairy farm or a truck gang. A ship lost at sea for many days suddenly sighted a friendly vessel. From the mast of the unfortunate vessel was seen the signal: "Water, water, we die of thirst." The answer from the friendly vessel suddenly came back. Cast down you bucks to you. You are. A second time the signal "Water, water, send us water," ran up from the distressed vessel and was answered: "Cast down your buckets." DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. where you are," and a third and fourth signal for water was answered: "Cast down your buckets where you are," and at last, heeding the inunction, cast down his bucket, and it came up full of fresh, sparkling water from the top of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land or who underestimate the importance of the economic service, Southern white man who is their next-door neighbor, I would say cast down your bucket where you are," cast it down to the ground, and in a way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded. Cast it down in agriculture, mechanic, economic service, and in the professions. 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. No race can prosper until it is tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life and not the top that we begin. Nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our To those of the white race who look to the incoming of those of foreign birth and strange tongue and habits for the prosperity of the world, I would repeat what I say to my own race, 'Cast down your bucket where you are.' Cast it among the people who know whose love and identity you have tested in days when to have proved treacherous meant the ruin of your firesides, cast it among the people who have without strikes and labor wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, built your railroads and cities and brought treasure to your people, made possible this magnificent representation of the progress of agnigin them as you are doing on these grounds, and made sure that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the waste places in your fields, and run your factories. While doing this you can be in the past, that you and your families will be surrounded by the most patient, faithful, law-abiding and unpresentable people the world has ever As we have proved our loyalty to you in the past, in nursing your children, watching by the sick bed of your mothers and fathers and often following them in grave graves, so in the future in our humble way, we shall stand by you with a devotion that is easy to lay down our lives if need be in defense of your interlacing our industrial commerce, civil society, and mutual to mutual progress. There is no defense or security for any of us except in the high intelligence and defense efforts tending to curtail the fullest growth of the Negro, but these efforts be turned into stimulating, on-the-spot, and useful and intelligent citizen.

Garvin, President of the Kentucky Exposition Commission, is Making Arrangements for the 50th Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Race July and August of Next Year—Rejouissaint Club Entertained by the Young Men—High School Boys Defeat Frankfort Football Team. (By Cary B. Lewis.) LOUISVILLE, KY., Nov. 16.—The news of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington was received here last week. He was a nurse at the Tuskegee Institute, Col Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who was at New Albany, Ind., delivering an address at Louisville about noon and confirmed the report, a telegram coming to him from Ex-Mayor Seth Low and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of U.S. commerce, over the city like wild fire and it was immediately announced in all the churches. Professional and business men present with hunts down heads commenting upon the loss of such a great character. Expressions of regret were voiced in all circles of the state. The team appeased over to pay the deceased glowing words of praise for the work he accomplished for the race in so short a period. ministers and Bible students who do not meet two large sums for such a work. Over two hundred of these volumes have been placed with the ministers and teachers of Louisville and North, meeting religious bodies and has been very successful with his work. He is making this city his headquarters and has been honored by the Windy City." His training and experience as a salesman has been the means of inducing many publication concerns to seek his service. ROLAND HAYES COMING. The city of Louisville will be given a musical treat on Thanksgiving night. Work will be done by the coming of Mr. Roland Hayes, the world's greatest tenor singer. Mr. Hayes is well known here, having worked in a law firm. He has a sweet voice, he went to Boston to have it trained. Now the press of this country are jubilant over Expressions of Regret. Probably the most affected citizens here was Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, editor of the Louisville News, and a nephew of Mr. Washington. The noted educator had been a great friend to Mr. Simmons. Speaking to the Freeman representative he said: "I am greatly shocked and grieved when I was a great man and a leader of a great people. He rendered a great service to them and this country. All nations mourn his loss. He was picked to do heaven's work. In his life he snatched victory from the hands of blame." Mr. William H. Steward, perhaps the closest friend of Mr. Washington in Kentucky, and who attends the Negro Fighting Service every year, also deeply touched by the yearning of his life long friend. He said: "The race has lost its greatest leader and the foremost educator of the world." Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, the successful surgeon and physician of this city, who knew Mr. Washington personally and with a great love for the city, and who, in the middle of the time when the National Negro Business League met in this city and which was the most successful in the history of the league, according to Mr. Washington, said of Dr. Washington's recent development. "The medical profession has lost a true and tried friend. Through his encouragement our race has given us more patronage and the men of the profession have every reason to be thankful for such a well spent life. His success was remarkable—a pattern for all men. His death is a distinct loss to us only to the race but to humanity." Prof. J. H. Garvin, principal of the Winchester, Ky., Public Schools and the University of the Negro Exposition and Half-Century Celebration, had occasion to be brought to Dr. Washington, the sudden death of Dr. Washington, Mr. Washington had been corresponded with Dr. Washington and arrangements completed to have him in attendance. It was through Mr. Washington that Kentucky would soon be the recipient of the award for educational lines. Mr. Washington had also promised to give his support to the coming celebration of the emancipation state in July and August next. His death was a personal loss to me, said Mr. Washington. Kentucky will be greatly grieved and moved by his untimely passing. Continuing he said, "Kentucky and the University of the Negro Exposition by his passing. Peace to his ashes." Dr. D. L. Ferguson, rector of the Episcopal Church of Our Merciful Savior, will make Washington will make a remarkable biography. His death will serve to focus attention more upon individuality because his achievements are so great. He will be found as entertaining as his work has been noble. By giving him the opportunity to present his cause and his achievements, he made it possible for Dr. Washington to disclose his wonderful personality and gains. The passing of time will probably give him a higher place in his opinion as to worth and treasures. Prof. W. E. Matthews, principal of the high school, said: "A great and well characterized student will live a life of great interest." Prof. A. E. Meyczek, principal of the Eastern school, said: "The loss of Dr. Washington is irreparable. No where can we ouread our lost friend. We have the standard thought and organization." Dr. R. L. Summers said: "In the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington our people have lost a friend. Dr. C. H. Parrish, pastor of Calvary Baptist church; C. H. Bullock, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Mr. T. F. Blue, pastor of the Y. M. C. A.; Dr. H. Smith, Dr. Morris Blackburn, Dr. H. Reid, Dr. J. A. Emerson, Dr. Wilson Ballard, Dr. G. D. Smith, Dr. Southern Agent of the Howard-Severance, Pulpit and Platform Publishing Company, and number of business men spoke to the court, to keep their regrets over the loss of Dr. Washington. The Ministers' Alliance passed appropriate resolutions on the death of Dr. Washington and the loss of their business house will be closed for one hour out of respect to his memory.

W. Washington, D. C. November 1, 1915. It is difficult to thoroughly trust a friend that is too closely allied with our arch enemy. The passing of such stalwart figures as Miffin W. Bibbs, C. C. Wimbish and the "Old Guard" will soon be no more. Each made a place in history that is distinctive and noble. They will not be forgotten. Giles B. Jackson, who pulled off at Richmond, Va., the most monumental exponent of the 300th anniversary is known as to be incubated with other exposition for 1919, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the landing of the cargo black people at Jamestown, Va. Will he get away with this turn, too? The Cleveland Gazette corroborates Ralph W. Tyler's denial of the story that the governor was a conspirator. My Ready Ma conveyed to him at the office of the board of censors that the film, "The Birds," was released in Ohio. Editor Smith proves that Tyler was not present at the time this aforesaid "swoon" was reported having been bullied off. Down in Tidewater, Virginia, is a hard man who writes a nightingale and who writes Negro dialect stories that carry the native flavor in genius is James M. Harrison, and his poetical effusions and philosophical tractive features of P. B. Young's live and up-to-date Journal and Guide at Norfolk. Dr. Washington is advising on the right line when he urges the farmer to join in a nation-wide "get together" movement. The well-being of one dearest friend is another. Now that the winter is coming on, enthusiastic meetings, with this as the central idea, should be held early in every community where Negroes abide. Unless all signs fail, the 1916 meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held at Kansas City. Mo., opening the third Wednesday in August. The National Medical Association will hold forth the following week and early in September will come the E. P. Jones-R. H. Boyd wing of the National Baptist Convention. Some big time awaits Kansas City. Everybody on earth and his brother and sister will be there. You can't afford to miss the trio of big events. We beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a bust of Paul Laurance Dunbar, the Negro poe laureate, a present from our foremost sculptor, Isaac S. Hathaway, who has just left Washington to take up the work of teaching clay modeling in the Branch Normal School at Pine Bluff, Ark. The bust is a speaking likeness of the great poet and singer, and has been heartily approved as a masterpiece of art by Mrs. Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar, the widow of the deceased. Benjamin J. Davis is now sole owner of the Atlanta Independent. He is hewing to the line. Much that he says seems unattic, but the truth of it is so patent, that even those upon whose corns he sometimes treads, are bound to admit that he is solving problems in the battleship with the cold stiletto of facts. Breer Davis is winning his battleships because he is armed with the approval of the people—the plain people, whose servant he is proud to be. Bully for Davis! Salem Tutt Whitney is "some post." The mystery is how he can adjust his "think-tank" to the gentle whisperings of the muse while handling the reins of the biggest and best show on THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. earth and dishing out a line of comedy stunts that makes all humanity laugh. We go along, that "Salem" is a culinary artist of a caliber calculated to wreak havoc on the Southland to turn green with envy that is to say, the eminent footlight favorite can cook "vittles." We know from experience. The Negro is often charged with being a quitter in the face of a sledge. We are often charged with papers of New York and Chicago for giving up so promptly their campaign against the injunction proceedings jarred them. The Gazette wants to know why these once ferocious champions of the game have the permitting injunctions dissolved? Do we not forget too readily the wrongs perpetrated against us as a race that is too soon upon the enemy capers jauntily upon the battle field? In issuing his plain, unvarnished and unmistakable warning against fakers of Negroes in the bottomless claim for money alleged to be held for them in the United States Treasury to pay for the war during the Civil war period, Secretary William Gibbs McAdo renders the enlistment of Negroes in the civil service. The colored press should back up the watchful head of the Treasury department by giving his assistance especially in the rural districts of the South, where "confidence men" ply their trade with the largest measure of success. The Negro Organization Society now organizes through 258 definite organizations for the lift of the race, is rendering a most effective service to the Negroes, and fluences not less than $80,000 of our people. Major R. R. Moton, commander of the Negroes' tallest figures, is president of the Negro Organization Society, and is making the body an instrument for the Negroes to raise days in the war. The recent meeting at Petersburg was a glittering success. The organization should spread into the South, the rural, civic and industrial regeneration. The North Carolina State Fair at Raleigh was a credit to the race, and the fact that it was the largest factor in the agricultural, industrial and general economic life of the South. The colored farmer, the mechanic, the industrial and commercial products that gave evidence of skill industry, thrift and taste of the high-income movement is Berry O'Kelley, who made such a pronounced hit at the Boston meeting of the National Negro Business Association, "how to get there." In many respects, O'Kelley is the "biggest Negro in the Old North State." No scandal attached itself to this exhibition. *** The immense Symphony Hall, into which the Governor Alsh, and the siggers themselves to hear the annual address of Dr. Washington, the welcome address of Governor Alsh, and the siggers in connection with the Boston meeting of the National Negro Business Association, by Mrs. Charles A. Mason, grand daughter of John A. Andrew, the fa- de Beauty Girl. Buckner BEAUTY GIRL NO1. Violet mous "war governor of Massachusetts," and who has shown herself in the work of the Tuskegee Institute and its illustrious chieftain. The rental of the hall amounts to several hundreds of dollars for the structure of its kind in New England. Col. Judson W. Lyons, former Register of the Treasury, in a strong letter to the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, the Tuskegee Institute, ban against colored troops and make provision for the reorganization of the splendid regiment that honored the Tuskegee Institute's judicial spirit is was disbanded by legislators. The Negro should be a factor in the "preparedness" of the American Republic and is anxious that his own national guard of colored troops. In the work of building up a massive national guard of colored troops. In the good account of themselves as usual, in support of the Stars and Stripes. Harry C. Smith, the militant editor of the Cleveland Gazette, after thirty-three years on the journalistic firing-line, is as live a wire as in the palmy days of yore, when he and the writer used to break a lance occasionally anent the issues that burned brightly at that time. It may be that Brer Smith is a trifle warmer these days. He is "after" certain "small fry" out in Ohio, who pose as "big Negroes," but who are disloyal to their race in that they try to fitch from earnest and energetic colored men the credit they deserve for their labors in running obnoxious films out of the Buckeye State and force the laurel wreath upon the brow of some white man, whom they wish to use for selfish ends. He punctures the hide of these pusillanimous fellows and drops a sigh of regret that one or two colored papers seem disposed to add them in this nefarious business. His "faction" is a self-denied self-federation, formerly stationed at Washington, over the protest of the real leaders of the State, is one of the richest bits of journalistic "skimming" the country has seen in a long time. Editor Smith is striking out straight from the shoulder against political grafters and stool-pigeons and the race is with him in his fight. A dramatic episode at the Boston meeting of the National Negro Business Association was formed. Assistant attorney-General William H. Lewis "Confession of Faith." It was deliverable at Mr. Lewis' address of welcome on the opening day of the convention. That it was spontaneous can not be doubted, as it was not exhibited in the printed sheets calculated in advance for the press. Mr. Lewis, after carrying his audience upon an imaginary tow, of the Hib, acknowledged that at the initial meeting of the Business League in Boston 15 years ago, he was not in accord with the teachings or philosophy of Dr. Washington and hence was not with the organization at its birth, as many of the leaders he added, "fifteen years of study and contact with the Wizard of Tuskegee, he have been opened to the greatness of the doctrine he has been preaching. With a cleared vision, I have found, that the Wizard of Tuskegee cheerfully acknowledge that he 'was right and I was wrong. I proudly enlisted the help of the march shall march in close step with him through all the years that may yet be touchscaled by the Bujuba one of the happiest tributes ever uttered upon an American platform. This episode easily made Mr. Lewis the hero of the League in historic Boston.

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.

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.

His distinctive country was that rather uncommon possession, common sense. He saw that it was better for his people to form habits of good people, and that it was not to be a good people to read. He needed to learn to read and to gain the power of intelligence and judgment before they engaged in politics; he saw that they needed to learn first of all the way of thrift and honesty and skill. He had the power to make the world more unله. He has planted a leaven of industry and education among southern Negroes, which can now be killed. There may be no one with his power to carry on the land. It will go on. He has served his time faithfully and well. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DEAD.

He was placed aboard a car and brought back to Tuskegee and died four hours after reaching home. He wanted to die in the South. Booker T. Washington was the great man, his race. He believed that he was a man who had the colored people, and went to work to do what he could to bring out the best that was in them. With that in view he established the institute at Tuskegee, and it stands today as a monument to the present. No other man, white or black, could have done what Booker T. Washington did in the establishment of this great school for the education of his race. He installed an efficiency-based and a ability-making organization with one, called by the energy and fine judgment that he displayed in all that he undertook. He interested in the modern capital in his work and had the ear of the philanthropists, and money poured in and he has built an institution that was a means of the building. What was as remarkable as his capacity to get money, he lived down the prejudice in the minds of many with reference to the education of his race. He did not try to teach the pupils that attended his school that it was the possible to live a social life. He had to go to the other place when he was in life and was to work out their own economic salvation. He was what man in many respects.

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.

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.

He was the leader of a great movement for the educational advancement of the Negro race, and was a great contributor to the progress and advancement of a race of people who 50 years ago were in bondage. No member of the colored race has been to break down the barrier of human prejudice between black and white. The country, and the colored people particularly suffer a great loss in his death at this time in his life." William Lloyd Garrison Jr., said: "In the death of Booker N.

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. He pleaded the cause of our race and people before the bar of public opinion for 58 years, and yet during all that time, never gave offence to North or Sout." Attorney Butler R.

"Let constructive progress be the dominant note among us in every section of America. An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of fault-finding." "Let us as a race teach the world that we have learned the greatest lesson of calmness and self-control, that we are determined to be governed by reason rather than feeling." "Our victories in the past have come to us through our ability to be calm and patient, often while enduring great wrong. This policy does not mean cowardice, for no one respects a coward.

Each of the four daily papers have carried lengthy editorials, extolling the power of the press and appraising at a high value the work he has done for his people and for all the people of America. The Times, for example, made a day made him the subject of their "leader," and on Tuesday morning the Post and Herald gave honored postings of the Times and the Times of tributes that are rarely accorded to the greatest figures of the Caucasian world.

By the same authority, on Wednesday morning, the teachers in the school were instructed to hold, during the hours of the funeral at Tuskegee Institute, special exercises, emphasizing the intellectual worth and practical labors of the deceased. Schools in Virginia and Maryland held their services and closed their doors for the day Tuesday, as a mark of respect to Dr. Washington, at the regular meeting of Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the president, Miss Marielle H.

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.

You teach the members of our race everywhere that they must become in an increasing degree creators of their own careers. You say that you're black, that you have no chance. Well, make your chance. 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. They must learn that liberty is a conquest, not a bequest." DR. WASHINGTON IN NEW YORK. Ex-President Roosevelt Paya Tribute to Dr. Washington. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 15—Col. 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. Oswald G. Villard, an old friend of Mr. Washington, said yesterday: "In the death of Booker T. Washington the entire country suffers a grievous loss, because no other man, white or black, has been so successful in the interpreting of one race to another." In the L.O. Chairman of the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, said: "The country has lost a great man and the Negro race a great leader. When one remembers that Mr. Washington began his life as a slave one cannot fail to marvel at his achievements. His work at Tuskegee will permanent, and I hope that his friends will realize that they must stand by it now as usually as they have done during his lifetime." Mr. Low and others connected with an interested in Tuskegee would not discuss yesterday possible successors to Mr. Washington. One man thoroughly familiar with the institute and with other schools of the sort said he thought it quite possible that the choice of a new head of Tuskegee would lie between Mr. Woltsch, head of the Utica School at Utica. Miss. and Major K. S. Koton, disciplinarian at 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.

Other danger spots had been passed in safety ty; there was a vague confidence that one more hurdle for which it would be leaped, by the wastage of the indomitable water, by the loss of the man and the mar- velous skill of the inspired healers.

All Washington was stirred to up depths and grief was depicted upon every countenance.

The public was unflinching policies. Upon all sides were heard tender tributes to his lofty character. Upon all sides were heard tender tributes to his lofty character.

White and colored races became one of the most significant differences in the life of the world. In the general of systems were forgotten in the universal recognition of the great loss the nation and civilization at large had sustained through the unlimited loss of the founder of Tuesdays Institute.

CINCINNATI, OHIO. (By Col. Brown's Staff.) 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. They sing and can sing lucky addition to this show, even with Marion Brook's "Border Line," and a touch of Tutt Whitney, but they put over to the satisfaction of the Austrian Langford and Birdie Gibson stood out in their characters.

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.

After jumping from Chicago to the Park Theatre, Dallas, Texas, for a two weeks' engagement, the managers, Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin, their act over for an indefinite time. This act is making good at each performance. They do singing and dancing and are hard to beat. They wear of wardrobe and both act the part.

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. In the event of the situation people were crowding in just the same to see Billy King last week at the Grand Theater.

Drake, in black face, scores decisively, singing "Rag, Thank You," in the playful storm of applause that demands an encore. Baley's dancing trio is a cat. Some hot dancing, Miss Jessie Burney entails, and some gets the applause. The company was easily the singing feature. All voices are good. The singing, dancing and pretty costumes are about the best pre- pared by a small company at this house. feature of their act was that the Madam would play any tune desired on the piano and the Rajah sang in broken English with a spirit of animation. The Marco twins, a little stout fellow and a tall lanky female impersonator, gave rip-roaring staunts and the little slow Gray was the one of the rap drummer. Tyson & Barbour were fine dancers with a pantomime dramatic dancing finish which attracted The Morton Brothers were mouth organ musicians and paper workers whose talk was humorous and interesting.

Glads Fisher, whose nick name is "Snow," now the champion cake walker and tango dancer of the west, made his re-entree with two girls and a string of two girls. The big big big, the little Cross, a fine dancer, and Corinne Bowen, a pretty talented soubret, assisted. Their orchestra cleaned up. The white acts were the "Toy Town" series, with a very strenuous qualified in every respect. "The house that Jack Built!" was a fine number and the soubret was good. "Nursery Rhymes" was a song by a well-known, very good Irish comedian, who took the leading band, and Robert, but was acrobatic balancers, one of the clever boy, but both clever, took up a lot of room but held their preservation and had fine scenery. Virginia Rankin was a big lady with a big voice who was a big man with a big moving picture play, "The Hired Husband," took the house by a storm of laughter and approval. The scene was laid at the doorway of his own residence on Calumet avenue. Lilly Brown, Hessie Brown, and Brue Saunders, Eleven Willers, Billie Dorming, Charles Moore and others were in the cast.

Looking from my state-room window I can see the imposing array of the white flowers on the State College and Claflan University. It is autumn everywhere is green and brown and yellow; the trees are bare and the leaves with its Midas touch, has clothed the earth with a golden robe of indescribable splendor. Like the last beautiful autumn leaves departing, the whole world ablaze with its glory. Autumn, melancholy and dulceful lamentations and sighting through the tree tops, gently shakes the leaves waving shroud, there to remain until winter, the stern embalmer, folds them in his frigid embrace, holding there the springtime resurrection. Chrysanthemums and dahlias, now that they have come into their glory, are a delightful and dainful arrogance, but here are there a fragrant rose peeps tauntingly, from some friendly shelter where it meets with sweetest insouciance, disputes their haughty reign, and have sounded their clarion call and hundreds of boys and girls, seemingly unmindful of rich and beautiful carpet nature has given them the opportunity with impressible youth and as agated in colors as the autumn gables, hurry to their classrooms, or with orangeburg, S.

Comedy can offer nothing better than the Irwin C. Miller's production presented by Manager of the Standard theatre this week to S. R. O. The company, which appears under the general designation of "Broadway waltzes," made its debut with a strong talent; a large number of chorus girls, whose attractive personal appearance is greatly enhanced colorfully; and some changes in quality of good solos. It is full of entertaining specialties, stirring songs and lively舞曲. It has nine scenes. The stage settings were handsome and set off the engaging personnel of the feminine portion to create mini-ups which the crew found very entertaining and serpent that will eat into their vitals and destroy their souls, working themselves more injury than harm to the luckless race they are seeking to We find that where we are preceded or followed by the Birth of the Colored people, attendance, both colored and white. We appreciate the colored people's feelings in refusal to be followed by the Mackinaw production has been shown. But by so doing they are working us an injury who are in no position to prevent us, and who are dependent upon their support for our success. Again the colored people are not interested in the era house manager for playing Mr. Dixon's show. The attractions for most theaters are booked from the local booking house. The local manager pays a stipulated amount for such bookings and is particularly interested in attractions the bookings house see fit to place in his theater. A refusal to play the attractions in his house and a consequent loss of money entailed by the necessary closing of his house. One way for the colored people to fight the objectionable film with any promise of success and the people in the several towns where the attraction is booked to be shown, can afford to spend more money to keep the film on the screen and can be given to it shown, then the colored people have a chance to win. While in Columbia, S. C., I was introduced to Madame Abomah, colored the Madame looked down on me from a seemingly unmeasurable height, and handed me a card; said card signified her to be the tallest lady in the house. He was covered with a small portion of the world and can not therefore, dispute her claim. I am not Lilliputian, being a small fractional part of an inch less than six feet. Most men who attain to this coveted height are inclined to poke out their chests and look down upon their feet, but I am so very 老鹰的 I felt very insignificant along side the Madame and her seven and one-half or more feet. Without ducking my head I had no difficulty in walking under her outstretched arm. Madame Abomah's extraordinary help, not only by the men to disinfection, for she is a singer of wide repute. For many years the Madame has been a stellar attraction over the continent of Europe. But the forty-two centimeters, Zeppellins and sub-mankins made the Madame have a making for home and here she ready to soothe the ear and feast the curiosity of the insatiable American public. Paul Carter and wife, Lottie, well-known to vaudeville fame, are touring the country with their own company, the Canvas. Mr. Carter paid us a short visit while in Orangeburg. He is enjoying the best of health, although his voice was somewhat simulated by ballyhounding the nickles and dimes within the canvass enclosure. The principal members of his company are Bill Jones and Walter Smith. applauded vociferously. Senic dances and song review with Wilbur: Miller, Darner C. Brown, Bob Pickets and C. Handy.

His repartee is humorous, and he is a man of many opportunities for legitimate laughter, and is of unquestionably good service to Miller in permitting him to enjoy his wholly congenial to him and that is sure to be liked by his many admirers. Miller is a strong fords plenty of entertainment and is supported by a strong company and therefore is sufficiently recommended for the comings of other weaknesses and will without a doubt become one of the best negro shows before the public.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway. New York City IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MCGATH. YALE SIMPLY TORE TIGERS ALL TO BITS. The most dangerous welterweigh since Walcott's days is One Round since Walcott's days is One Round that belies their Princeton's Delicately Adjusted Machine is Ripped Open by Brute NEW YORK. Nov. 14—No eastern game in many years has furnished the football upset in the annual game between Yale and Princeton. The Tigers invaded New Haven with a splendidly coached eleven, which included a remarkable amount of power and action out of a squad composed of only fair material. A tale, on the part of who, man for man, were equal to any among the bigger institutions, but the Ells lacked everything that made the making gridron unit. Yet when the two eleven faced each other in the Blue bowl, it was the four-eyed occasion with a burst of fighting spirit and brute football strength that enabled them to win. With everything the ball and nothing to lose, the Blue torc into the Tiger with such a wonderful yet unpredictable skill that his delicately adjusted machine found itself unable to hold in check the team from which it had ex- persevered. It is true that Princeton did not show the same amount of strength and spartanism that Yale battles and that Yale benefited by the "breaks" of the game but the "breaks" of the game benefited by the more remarkable improvement after less than two weeks of coaching under Shevlin, and swept lagers of their纵队, and defense of their team play. Princeton towered over rough-and-ready teams of the Yale, tackling, punting and speed of the Orange and Black brigade stood on the field. Several errors in generalship, coupled with fatal fumbling at critical moments, the team that made it possible for the Blue to turn the clever kicking of Guernsey to the team players in following ball, to a winning advantage. LED PATTERSON WINS ANOTH ER—KNOCKS OUT KID SNEAD AT WEST BADEN. (By Ed Rogers.) Special to the Freeman. Nov. 14.—Leco Patterson knocked out Kid Snead of Louisville before a large crowd at the Baden Opera House. Pursued what was to be a ten-round go. Snead rushed right into Patterson or the first round; but seemed to always blocked by Patterson's scientific defense, however landing a few blows, but, in the fifth rounds, Snead changed his tactics, and began laying his weight on Patterson, and floored his opponent in the fifth, for a count of nine. Patterson is truly a little fighting machine: he was until he bore him down. Snead covered up most of the sixth round, and came back, but "Put" rushed him over in his corner and caught him with two or three swings and Jabs, which put him down. Patterson trained, who was at the ring side, yelled and yelled for him to get up, and attempted to throw him, but it was in vain. Snead was O-U-T. He got up in about fifteen seconds and took Patterson by the hand and confessed he was the best player and would like to see him fight again. He was somewhat outclassed in this fight, as Patterson will prove a champion in his twelve or fifteen pounds. The preliminary was a six-round go back, Bill Weight, 123 pounds, Creamo Conn, Bill Weight, 123 pounds, Creamo Conn, 147. Billie has quite a ring record, beating One Round Bess of Indianapolis recently. Creamo is a young man who is a good wallop. The decision was given to McClure; he seemed to find Creamo's face an astomach at will, but neither boy showed any marks of battle after FREDDIE WELSH HOLDS THE WHIP HAND. BATTLING BALL HAS QUIT THE GAME. It is too bad that a Colored fighter at the present time can hardly get match. I have been in the game since I was years old, but to quit as an answer hard to get a boat with some of the leading Colored lightweight boxes, but I can answer from any of my challenges. I know that I stand fit to give any of the best lightweight a hard battle to overcome, for am I able to arm, own a kave, and also game and can take a beating, but it does not pay me to keep in shape as I cannot get a bout. I cannot am not training for I have quit the game. I like it and hate to stop, but I can make more than I can for a fight. I would like to play Murphy a good beating before I retire. I can whip Murphy, I know, any time I meet him in good shape, although Murphy no easy mark for any one his weight. I can make 133 pounds easy, but I am most of the time at 135, but I am not always trained over a week for a scrap in life, so I know if I were kept busy with my work. In speaking of the best Colored lightweight in the world, I pick Leo Lemonson and Leo Patterson. Those boys work hard, and one fighting either one of those boys better know what he is doing for they never and can kick. I have worked with Leo Lemonson, who was in St. Louis. We boxed five and rounds every day. I have fought Leo Lemonson, so you know what I am talking about. Patterson once and he beat me once. The most dangerous welterweight wife. When I woke up, I Sylvester. If you don't believe that ask Christy Williams, the middle- weight. He knows it for Sylvester. He knows it for Christy. Christy Christy and beat Williams twice, and in the third bout he was robbed of Jack Mitchell can murder you if you let him hit you with that left hand. You can kill him all about Jack Mitchell. Ask him. Kid Hoy, who is claiming the middle- weight championship. May I did not want any more of Mitchell's game. Goose all the Colored boys lot of good luck and don't stop because I did. Maybe there will be a chance to beat the bag and box. Always going to beat the bag and box. it is healthy and I sure like to box. Good luck to all. From the old sport, WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. HAVANA, Cuba.—The Havana baseball team defeated the Indianapolis A. B. C. team today, 10 to 4. The visiting team has won five lost five games since defeating Cuba. NEW YORK—Matt Wella, the English lightweight champion, will be in great form for his bout with Johnny Griffiths on November 29. From what Wells showed against Charley White with a million gloves in the twelve rounds. Matt is boxing in wonderful form. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12—Johnny Killane, featherweight champion, was suspended by the Wisconsin boxing commission when he was sent to a recent round tango with Ritchie Mitchell. Ritchie appeared and was let off with Mitchell. Thomas Killane has Killane from fighting in Wisconsin until he appears before the commission.

Blackburn, Eddie Palmer or any one the promoter can dig up. Address all Louis, Mo. JACK MITCHELL ONE-ROUND SYLVESTER IS STILL KNOCKING 'EM OUT. Sylvester Kayo, Battling Gahee, of Savannah, Ga., in the third round at Suture City, Georgia, has become quite popular around St. Louis with his knockout wallop. He weighs around 148 and 150 pounds, and has also been with Joe Connolly, who is Joe Connolly, Tommy Burke and Harry Trendall. Sylvester boxed four rounds daily with his teammate, John Smith, November 9, at the Coliseum. Battling Ball was one of the gunner's sparing partners. Sylvester is meeting all middle weights.

He has just completed his first season playing ball for more than fifty years. This season he took part in sixty-one games, having had a career of orange and white playing first base. For a man of his years he has a remarkable arm, throwing fast and accurately, and covers a wide range of speed. Without doubt Artzberger is the champion old-age baseball player of the world. He says he is seventy-five years old. EARL MURPHY TRAINING HARD. Editor Freeman Pub.

FRANK MORAN MOVING UP TO JESS WILLARD. NEW YORK—Frank Moran, through his decisive defeat of Jim Ficoy not long since, has crowded a bit nearer to the title holder will agree to meet Moran in a ten-round battle with or without decision is quite unlikely. Willard, by contrast, has been termed a whirlwind fighter. In order to win on points or knockout inside ten rounds the conqueror of Johnson would have been less successful of anything he has shown to date. In a twenty or twenty-five round contest, Johnson would wear down his opponent in the slow deliberate manner characteristic of his fighting methods.
