STEERS CLEAR OF SCHOOL CONTROVERSY. President A. H. Grimke made a very gratifying showing of the activities of the National Association for the Administration of Colored Education, an organization one evening last week. Numerous instances were cited where notorious instances of injustice on account of the treatment of African Americans were directed and in others where liberal recognition had been accomplished through the administration, as names of the persons affected and the source of the influence drawn upon were withheld from publication. Nothing was said at the meeting of the National Association of the persons N. A. A. C. F., as a body, will permit itself to be led into the school controversy as a contender for the perpetuation of the system. The element that insisted that such a course should not be taken, must be credited with some good, clean work. The result as it is written on it as "it sticks to its knitting." PROMOTIONS FOR DESERVING NE- GROES IN TREASURY. Additional promotions of deserving colored men in the treasury department are available. The largest amountable is that of Mr. James E. Alston, who has been in the harness, rendering effective service for more than thirty years, the major portion of the time having been department and his division of appointments, where he knows practically every record from those and is the bureau of information in a variety of subjects. He is regarded as one of the most and reliable met with the entire treasury department in his devotion to duty has been so strong he has taken no full leave of absence in being connected with the department. He is on the job every minute of the day and ready to "deliver the goods." Mr. Alston is identified with a number of fraternal organizations as secretary. and this, together with his government obligations, keep him as busy as he can, and work, for he has so systematized his labors that they come easy to him, and achieve the desired results with a minimum expenditure of energy. Mr. McAdow's new salary is $1,600 per annum. It will not be surprising if Secretary McAdow announces other promotions to him. It is habitual with him to place a premium upon efficiency and character in all branches of the federal service under his control, as a pleasure, as well as a reward, to a man to give credit where credit is due. BETHEL LITERARYS BANNER MEETINGS. Bethel Literary and Historical Association has been having some banner meetings this season. Miss Marie A. Cox, a member of the organization, fair to her best term and she is receiving encomiums upon all sides for the admirable manner in which she is handling the affairs of the organization, support and each Tuesday night is a signal for an out pouring of the populace at Metropolitan A. M. E. church, where the society has held forth since the information library, where The season was opened by Rev. R. W. Bagnall, rector of a leading P. E. E. Church, who was the head of the school, and who was the first of his immense audience with an optimistic dissertation on "One Way Out for the Negro." Then came Prof. W. Bagnall, who was the head of the school, "The Pageant and Its Lessons," talking of the wonderful force that lies behind organized effort, directed along lines of efficiency and high moral purgation, and that of the great, unparalleled by Prof. Roy Tibbs, of Howard University, a delightful feature at both of these meetings. The third speaker, Mr. Bagnall, was the head of the school's兼主 rector of public works in the cabinet of the president of Liberia, now traveling in this country in the international conference on the development of a monrovia. He spoke of "Africa as She Was, as She is and as She Will Be," giving a very instructive and thoughtful account of the industry and culture of the country, and of a very tender and of the U. S. army, of whose striking address an extended comment will be made in our next letter, was the first of his address. The second speaker, Mr. W. Chen came from H. H. Bernelot-Moens (white), of Holland. Though a highly educated and influential person, he was not a American, and was a Caucasian race, Prof. Moens is a consistent believer in the theory that, other things being equal, there is no individual is worth his weight in intelligence and capacity, regardless of the race to which he belongs or the degree to which he is of the same race. In this country, making a study of social and economic conditions at first hand and in the prosecution of his own interests, he was a very close and all classes of white and colored people, and his observations carry some humorous contradictions that any artificial intelligence is not the result of the incident of birth, are bound to disclose. The professor is an earnest admirer of the high-class colored people he has received from the great, unparalleled by Prof. W. Chen, who is a forthcoming report is bound to be a brilliant contribution to contemporaneous literature on the race questions of the world. He was "Civilization or Barbarism—Which?" He told his hearers that the way to overcome race prejudices, which he had to say, and the differences between the white and the colored races, was for the colored people to aim at moral and intellectual issues, and to make a point of international renown and is a specialist in embryology, paleontology and anthropology in the faculty of a stand-alone college, and a great number of his best-known leading young men of the race along the paths of civic righteousness and moral healthfulness. His subject dealt with the importance of athletics in the protection of moral and physical manhood. Miss Madre is a wonderful woman and with Bethel Literary as her forum, she is doing a wonderful work for the people and economic uplift of all the people. The Colored Bars in the District. The Colored Bars in the District. Only three colored establishments secede from the exclusive board room licenses from the which began November 1. These were the 638 D street; Moses H. Dude 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, and A. J. Gaskins. 308 Eighth street. It is notable that the board refused a renewal of the bar of the same name, for by the well-known Philadelphia House and the application filed by the board, the bar refused a renewal of the bar of the same name, with withdrawn. The colored population of the district is over 100.0, and the bar is to each 33,000 or more possible colored patrons. No formal complaints are being made, however, over the sparse population of the Negro's needs in this direction. MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL IN NEY YORK CITY.

Ralph, the energetic and capable director of the bureau of engraving and printing, is coming in warm praise for his colorful work on this victim by reason of the large number of colored young ladies he is appointing to well-defined positions in the departmental chieftains. Director Ralph is one of the most liberal of the departmental chieftains in the government service here and he can always be relied upon to accomplish his duties. A motion recently was M. C. Maxfield, who is regarded as a literal "watchdog of the treasury," having in charge of the government's money. Many colored families in this community owe their homes and comforts of life to the generosity of Director Ralph in placing the award-winners on his monster payroll. Town Topics in Tableld. "The Colored World," which came on from Philadelphia, covered the Wash.-Ind. region and then disappeared in the traditional newspaper graveyard. The reason may be disclosed later. Prof. W. E. B.

The plaintiffs sought to establish a lien for themselves and the descendants of former slaves on an alleged fund of $68,000,000, said to have been collected by internal revenue officers on the cotton picked and prepared for the market through the involuntary services of their ancestors as slaves. Secretary McAdoo, through United States District Attorney Laskey and his assistant, moved to quash the proceedings on the grounds that Mr. McAdoo had no personal interest in the fund in question and that the proceeding was an attempt to sue the United States for property in its possession. If the plaintiffs had any right, the defendant claimed, they had lost it by delaying too long their efforts to establish it. This practically ends the case, which competent lawyers say should never have been instituted. Mr. J. H. Hudnell, former proprietor of Hudnell's Hotel, died Friday morning at his residence, 905 French street. For many years he had been a sufferer from a complication of diseases. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon. MEET TO HONOR LEADER OF PACE Booker Washington Lauded Memorial Services in Mt. Olivet Church Largely Attended by All Races. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 24.—Booker T. Washington is dead, but he still lives and he will continue to live until earth is no more.

Olivet Baptist church last night, where men of all walks of life, both colored and whites, assembled to pay glowing tributes to the great Negro. Rev. Samuel W. Beaven, assistant pastor of Lake Avenue Baptist church, was the great tribute to the lost leader of the Negro. He told of Mr. Washington's early boyhood, how his mother took him to her knee when the war of 161 was over, and with tears in her eyes told him that he was a free man, and from that minute it is said that Booker T. Washington determined to do something with the Liberty for which so many men gave up their lives. At Hampden Institute the great brain of Booker T. Washington was trained by General Armstrong. And it is said to have been a curious thing about all the Negro boys and girls who came there that they all had but one aim, and that to have their race. It was here also that Washington achieved a new conception of life. Mr. Beaven also told of how the brick industry at the beginning of the Tuskegee School was a failure three times and Mr. Washington had to pawn In a number of the other city churches cognizance was taken of the assising Ebeneszer B. M. McGhee pastor of Emmuelan Presbyterian church preached at the evening service on the morning of T. W.ington." At the evening service in A. M. E.

This league, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against federal segregation to the face of a southern democratic president, who broke his pledges, believes that this real fiftieth anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great national meeting, together in conference of the colored people of this country. This eighth annual meeting will be held at Allen A. M. E. church, pasted by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter, a prominent American author, whether the members of this particular eague now or not, but who are honestly and earnestly contending for equality of rights are invited.

ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me with a form of inhalant and later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was filled with the pain and the desire had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, then I went to the hospital. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and neck. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK. There is a new awakening along business lines which argues for greater strides toward the accomplishment of great things and the strengthening of business relationships by complying the strength of many who are now merely eking out an existence. "Co-operation in business" is the new business model that must not engage in the same line of business that we are engaged in has had to give away to the new idea that by co-operation many can succeed in a single-handedly—The Nashville News. The great Exposition Number of The Freeman issues from the press December 25, 1915. The Negro press was splendid in its tribute of respect to Dr. Booker T. Washington. If there had been any doubt of the standing of the eminent man it would have been dispelled by those glowing eulogies. The white press also teemed with kindly utterances such as have never been offered in honor of any other Negro. No man, saving our Presidents, has resisted our race. Our race is even lifted up in his death—since the distinction of one tends 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 making the festival of commemoration complete and satisfactory. It is due the race and also the country in general to a high昂贵的, digital of the matter. We are conceding limited free space to churches, lodges and other organizations. All especially solicited matter is also entered free. HAITI The Haitien legislature by a great majority decided to acquiesce in the protectorate plan of the United States. There is nothing over which to exalt in such a submission; but it was the best possible way out of a bad fix it was the only thing left to do. At other times when big nations are trying to crush out small ones with the view of possessing their countries, herosism and patriotism are glorious; and dying is worth while. But Haiti was content to go to pieces, becoming as useless as a last year's bird's nest. It was not even in that harmless category—harmless uselessness—or, to use the language of Grover Cleveland, "inocuous desuetude." Had it stopped at that it would not have been so bad. It contaminated the western hemisphere—polluted it, threatening to envelop us all in war. Nor is that all. But it is too long a story to rehearse at this time. We have spoken of it as a representation of Negroes at government. If Haiti is restored to itself sound and well, then happy Haiti it ought to be. THE EXPOSITION NUMBER The Freeman is busy at this time preparing for its exposition number, which will be issued during the holidays. The object is to supplement the work of the various expositions in celebrating the fifty years' end of the achievements of the race as a free people. The newspapers have made some effort in furthering the idea of celebration, and which was very commendable. We think that, owing to the reputation and popularity of our publication, it is up to us also to help out in giving emphasis to the period. Semi-centennials are very far apart, and while it is not absolutely necessary to celebrate them, yet it's the ways of civilization. A thoughtful, reflective, thankful nation like the individual will count the most in the long run. Our object is to set forward the representative achievements of the race pictorially, in words, covering every class of meritorious endeavor, so that the reflection will be no less than an epic, the race in miniature. The staff of contributors, whose names will be published in the near future, will stand respectively as indexes of their subject. That is, they will speak with authority from the fact that they will be those who have made success of their various undertakings. We are busy soliciting for the representation, and we hope there will be relevance in kind, in keeping with the undertaking. So far we have met with flattering success. Those receiving a letter from us will confer a great favor if they will answer promptly, as the time is short for the work which has been mapped out. THANKSGIVING DAY. Thanksgiving day this year is, doubtless, more thought about than it has been for many years. And, singular enough, and right, there is not the usual expressed sense of joy because our days are peaceful, because we have escaped the toils of a well-nigh universal war. The great, and we will say needless sacrifice of lives, touches those who are not included in the struggle so profoundly that the expressions of thankfulness are scarcely more than prayers for the relief of the distressed. Sorrow and grief have made the whole world kin in the instance. Here may be some cause for thankfulness, springing right up among the hard fates of men—thankful that men have not grown indifferent to the distresses of men wherever they are sent, and that of praise are hamentations of mercy, as ascending the hill of the Lord for succor—for respite—for commutment. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn," says Pope. Those who have set themselves against one another in that most bloody strife will be considered a fitting illustration. Millions are mourning, the direct cause of war. But in the better sense the world is not so human as to have no concern for the welfare of the men of those great armies and their dependents. It is this very concern which saddens, this year, all Thanksgiving day reflections. Our humanity, in the instance, is sympathy; for those who find themselves locked up with death and destruction. We should be thankful that the great world heart can be saved, and that we should thus respond. It is a thing of hope to the misery-trodden of earth, whatsoever race. It means that oppression and great wrong will not go unprotested no matter by whom committed, or who are the victims. It is hope for our own Negro race, when we know the heart of the world is still green, young, responsive and consequently abhorrent of the low and mean. It is the attitude, this year, the right attitude, to confound our rejoicing over the gifts the gods have brought us, with the cries of those who, in their great misery, it seems at times, it were better that they had never been born. We are thankful for our preservation—the whole country, we dare say; but it is a truly religious thankfulness—no sign of elation or gratification like the pharisees of other days, that we are better than others. We would be wrong to attribute religious significance to the woes of the old world. We are not saved because we are better than those that have perished, or are perishing. Perishment is not from any divine ordering. We know this, that, in a manner of speaking, the old world is lost, and we are saved. Why it is so we do not know, unless it be the forerunner of unforetold stretches of a better and sweeter world. We are thankful for the thought—since it is charitable, holding no one especially responsible. IN HONOR OF DR. BOOKER T WASHINGTON. The following poem, very timely now in the news, describes Washington, was written and dedicated to Dr. Washington by Mrs. Samantha Browne, who was attending the summer school at Tuskegee Institute. $^{108}$ South Gridley street, Bloomington, IL, and she is now taking a course in domestics at Normal University, Normal, IL. Tuskegee All hail, thou noble land, Unvelling all thy triumphs won, Beneath the bright southern sun. Beneath the bright southern sun. Forged by thy brave and strong Witnessed through years long— By incessant practice and brain That his race might happier be, By having a school—Great Tuskegee. All through thy palatial halls Beautiful with vine-covered walls, The green, the green, the green, The work of thy students is And thy industrial buildings rare. Built by steady work and care The work of thy students is Standa tranquilly with welcome rest. It stands for creation's early bloom— It stands for the Prince who burst Standa tranquilly with welcome rest. It bids the spirits exalted powers Devote to heaven the hallowed hours. Tuskegee: sound your trumps of fame, Let Booker Washington's great name Ring through the world with applause, Standa tranquilly with welcome rest. Listen with a sympathetic ear To the sad strains of a just cause Of a race struggling for life Of a race struggling for life When hope was sinking in dismay And gloom obscured a race's day, His steady mind from changes free Resolved to plant Grand Tuskegee. Tuskegee: sound your burgle loud, Behold the Chief who now commands, Honor from all nations and lands; And firm on the rock—Success he Armed in virtue firm and true His hopes are fixed on heaven and you With god-like power and iron will, With dauntless courage and matchless He succeeded in planting thee, Great and Grand Tukkeegee. MEMORIAL SERVICES BY FRED ERICK DOUGLASS AND ABRA- HAM DLINCOLN CENTERS TO DRIEK BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Chicago, Ill, Nov. 22, 1915. Mr. Emmett J. Scott. It has been one week and two days since the awful loss of one of the Chicago firefighters been dazed by the news which reached us Sunday morning, Nov. 14th that I have not been able to write a letter to you, because you which you will receive later. I did get out some lines which will occur city is all in gloom, which you doubtless know by this time. All of the news spoke nobly their grief at the passing of Dr. Washington. Yesterday (Sunday) I attended two bible meetings which the meeting was held at Lincoln Center in Oakland boulevard, which was largely occupied by the Club set in a body and it was inspiring. I shall tell you as briefly as possible some of the things made by the Chicago was represented by Hon. E. H. Wright, who said among other things, that this part in everything that engaged him Mrs. Ella Flag said: "When I went to Tampa, I had the morbid curiosity common to most white people, but inside of an hour I realized that Tuskegee was the first institution by which I succeeded by a single individual, and he was as God sent as Moses or Elijah. The strongest impression got while I was in Tampa, and on returning to Chicago I have used Tuskegee as a model by which to construe schooling in the public schools. Mr. Packard said: "Booker T. Washington is the greatest product of the world." Mrs. Cella Parker Wooley said: "My life is better for Dr. Washington having Tuskegee as the school to whom I am determined that no man shall drag me down by making me to hate him. "Dr. Washington was a man who imbbed in his mind a singleness of THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE NEGRO PRESS ON THE PASSING OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. THE BOSTON GUARDIAN Booker T.

He had a long and eventful career. His energy and resourcefulness were remarkable. He built up an immense industrial school in Greenwich, Massachusetts in this republic. He had unusual ability as an organizer. He attained great distinction, and was the most conspicuous colored man of his day. At one time he wielded a tremendous political and political opportunities of colored people. By the colored race he was both ardently supported and strenuously opposed with regard to his industrial and political progeny. American support by his doctrine. This is as much a part of his career as is his international reputation, and it is a part of the history of the colored race. THE FEDERAL INFORMER A man, gone! gone!! But never to be forgotten. With the sudden demise of Dr. Booker T. Washington the nation is called upon to mourn the loss of one of the greatest and most unique characters of modern times. The longevity of the man devoted devotion and devotion, the system of religion and practical Christianity one of its most enduring friends. THE PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE. The late Booker T. Washington was a worthy leader in the most exact use of the term. Born in slavery and suffering the handicaps that rested on all his people, he was able by the sheer force of his intellect and virile personal character to advance with him, but actually and personally leading his race up into their land of opportunity. Industry and thrift were the gospel of this leader, and he preached and practiced it with a vigor that could not fail to win. THE ADVOCATE, CLEVELAND OHIO. Neither philosophy nor even faith can wholly reconcile us to the loss of this great man—we know that death is the common lot, but we are never ready for the coming of its angel. He had been a man of great ability in sight, his "day of rest" had come—"his period of vacation" was at hand—and Booker T. departed. It is hard to realize our loss. In his personality Principal Washington united the essential qualities of a great leader. With a vision beyond that of ordinary men he saw the fundamental principles in human life, which he adapted to suit the needs of the egro in the Prophet-like, he had the sense of purpose and added to this simplicity and sincerity, no one who heard Mr. Washington ever complained that he could not understand his message or that the message lacked the speaker's own conviction of the truth of his statements. He uttered the profoundest philosophy in the language a child could understand. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. The death of Booker T. Washington was removed one of the most valuable assets of the Negro race possessed. His life has so imprinted on the development of the million black souls in this country who are toiling and working that the race might some day reach its proper place among the great people of the universe. THE SEARCHLIGHT, SEDALIA, MO. He was the most forceful character in American life. Rising from poverty and obscurity, he early caught the spirit of the age in which he lived and by it was swept into world-wide fame. He built no air castles, but gave a solidarity to Negro citizenship that insured its perpetuity upon the western hemisphere. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. Booker T. Washington has gone. The world has lost one of its foremost educators, his race its greatest champion, but he has been the earnest river of all that when he is called for the accounting he will be bid to enter the heavenly gates with, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." THE COLORADO STATESMAN. In the death of this champion of human rights the whole country has suffered a great permanent loss, but the loss is more keenly felt by the people of his race who are familiar with his solution of the grave racial problem. He would be a country, and the impressions that he made gravely and poor, have a scale by the God-given gift and talents that will be opened up in ingress to the most closed and difficult opponents of his followers. THE SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. Dr. Washington was a man of large vision, fine poise and a rich intellect, with a passion for achievement and tireless in activity. He was a man of whom it might be said as Thayer said of Cavour, the great Italian patriot and esteemer, who enthusiasm for the possible. When Booker T. Washington came into this world he was not his own slave, but he made the world his debtor by his massacre.

THE NEW YORK AGE. In the death of Dr. Washington the race suffers an immense loss. He had the nation for an audience. Whenever he spoke the nation listened. But the loss which his death incurts is not confined to the Negro race; it is one which the entire country, American citizen, has a great Negro, but he was not a Negro, but a Negro of this country ought to feel the same relief, in having produced that it feels in having produced a Lincoln. In truth, if the lives of all the great men of this country were written out to be passed upon by the civilized world, not one would be a more impressive example to foreign peoples of the possibilities of American democracy than the life of Booker T. Washington's life work is ended. Future, writers will embellish the history of his life and character. Tuskegee will be his greatest monument. He rose from humble birth to the highest fame one could aspire. He had few equals and few superiors in the field of industrial training. **THE STAR OF ZION.** His death comes as a distinct shock to his own race and to the nation. From poverty to wealth, T. Washington had risen to an eminence scarcely equalled by any other man of his time. John Bright, the eminent English statesman, after a tour in this country, said that the three greatest men he saw in America of greatest Americans is incomplete without the name of this Negro teacher-statesman. As the apostle of industrial education, he taught the world. **ADVOCATE VERDICT, HARRISBURG, PA.** Booker T. Washington is Dead! A bare, cold fact.

Loyd Jones said: "When it comes to the higher reaches of race, and all that are left down among cruder environments. Dr. Washington was not a negro and not a white man, but a black man, the greatest pedagogue the world has produced. We are too near the epoch of his powers to know what it was. We are too near the epoch of our real conceptions. His work was the greatest performance of duty since Jesus said his wife, children and himself were never honored as when they had Dr. Washington as a guest at the house. We are beginning to unravel the episode as one great and glorious dream. I wish I had better understood what he was carrying on his great work." Dr. Hall presided, and when he would introduce the speaker his remarks were pointed out. He was evident that the speaker, he was about to introduce, was familiar with. There were a few other speeches made by people who were not in the crowd. Coyne sang, "Steal Away to Jesus," and "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and "Bringing up and suffering this staggering attack of poverty," matched at possibly 2,000 colored and white people who were there, not as different in thought, feelings and race but as different in growing and suffering this weak understanding. The altar in Abraham Lincoln Center was made of flowers, and Dr. Washington's life-size bust was in a gorgeous frame, draped by the American flag. The demonstration of sorrow was held is one of the rich spots in great Chicago that is free territory. There is no poor when once you have passed within its collossal environments. Afterward, other added, after Mr. S. Lang Williams had resolutions of sorrow from the entire citizenship of Chicago: "It is not enough to drape a woman in a white coat in one voice express their anguish over the great loss sustained by Dr. Booker T. Washington's life." I believe, gathering strength, and the idea may be perfected to hold at a later date a mammoth memorial meeting in the very heart of Chicago. I regret so much my dear friend that you could not be here to hear the golden words of so much moment to our poor speech, as they fell from the lips of those speakers whose very hearts were wrung with grief. I have never witnessed anything quite like it and never expect to see the like again. I have written so much in the spirit of my heart during Dr. Washington's twenty-five years, and have said so much that it is a glorious thing even in his death to find a world talking twenty-five years, and have said in all these years. In this my first open letter addressed to Mr. Emmett Scott, through the columns of the Indianapolis Pressman I have preferred to repeat as best I possibly could many of the rich tributes paid Dr. Washington by distinguished people. In a later issue I shall be glad to add to what feeble words I may to the aggregate of sorrowring till They remit their debts, believe them. Yours friend. Your friend. MONROE A. MAJORS, M. D.

Washington at the national capital gives out what he declares to be the exact facts relating to what famous breakfast with President Roosevelt. The uproar raised by the episode reflected no credit on the persons who felt outraged in their slanderst sensibilities because the charges that he was seeking social and political favor—charges that made trouble for him even among his own people because he had counseled non-participation in politics. Yet with a fine sense of honor and propriety he kept silence, though he might have put himself right. As the story goes, Washington was asked to come to the capital at once for a conference with the President, and he was invited to attend and formed. When he arrived and called at the White House he was told by Mr. Roosevelt that there was a vacancy on the Federal bench in Alabama and that he would be appointed to recommend a man for the place. Washington replied that he knew of a man who would make a good judge of the people of Alabama and the colored people of the state. He then named Thomas C. Jones, who had been Governor of Alabama, and who was a judge of the people of Alabama and then said to Washington that he would appoint Jones if Washington would act as messenger and would say to the Alabama man that the appointment was made solely on his, Washington's, Washington undertook the mission, went back to Alabama and returned three days later to report that Gov. Robert Bentley visited at the White House about noon and his arrival was reported to the president, who was at luncheon alone. By the time he arrived the dining room and was asked to take a seat at the table and partake of the meal. It was simple courtesy that one individual might naturally extend to the president, but that he had already eaten; but Mr. Roosevelt insisted and the Negro educator then did sit at the table and eat a slight repast while he made his re- To have told these facts later would have offended Mr. Jones and would have been wrong. Mr. Jones was president by showing that he had followed Washington's recommendations. The planation and is doubtless a correct one. No incident ever demonstrated more clearly the inability of a certain man to govern a nation above the narrowest race prejudice or to understand that Washington was a man with whom kings might feel an obligation to govern. That brought one more humiliation because of his race to the man whom some one has described as a white man with a black skin—The Indianapolis Star. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMO RIAL ELECTOR FIELD C.

After the audience at the Grand had heard Frank Rogers it was easy to decide that he is a ventriloquist who had been a man who had been a man who had two little white and black dummies.

The Review was entertaining without being tedious, with a good blonde comedian and a fellow who sang well, but the show was so good. The Audience of the New Wiel brothers were funny athlete tumblers in acrobatic stunts. The last half of last week had Jack Smith, formerly in the show. The new show was a sketch called "The Street Cleaners," and their clever conversations comedy and� goggings were the main销声匿声的 thing and humming finale captured the house. The white acts were not quite so fortunate. James Audrey Bailey, the first dancer, was a play in the big time, replaced a white act which had been cancelled. Others on the bill were the Rajahs, mind readers, who had a good time with the show. The show was a lightning flip flop revolver and John Higgins, a very clever big and long-amputing man who was one extra attraction. He was fair as an extra attraction in Italian character.

Precenseting a Playlet of Gripping Interest—A Legitimate Drama With Capable Per- It seems that the day of the real drama has come, the day when the coloured players may find themselves wending their way over the country, as they are the only way to do with the system, regularity, appearing at the various playhouses, giving something of true art value, and which is at once a passion and inspiring to performer. The listening-to condition, and house is making this condition, and which is at the same time bad and good. The mass variety is actually helped by the middle-class program. It is while the class variety suffers. It is too sociological to dwell on—the question of the greater good. We what is before the The play and everything else will come that comes to white people, and it is absolutely necessary if we are to do this with any other thing in this department of our activities. Long since Marion A. Brooks, now deceased, had the vision. He saw the necessity of the legitimate Negro and the best-of-the-eggs as a person or with other life; but all by Negro performers. The beautiful little melodrama, this was the most beautiful life evaluation, which he was assisted by Joe Bright, the present capable leading man of this company. The playlet has to do with a family consisting of a man and a son. Mr. Moody and the blacksmith and A woman in a long coat and hat stands holding an umbrella and a suitcase. "Moody" took care of the situation in fine style. Gripping is the word for "moody," and it is often at the denouement juncture. All the performers were capable, and there were no mistakes in their work. The mother showed a mother's love, never denying, as the world goes—pathetic, touching, Emma Freedricks. The "minster" by Charley Payne was well done. He plays the saving plan, "Rhik" and "Reed," persuading him against his will to do the honorable thing. This has been the case for many years, but none to the credit of "Reed," who did not care for the marriage, and a younger to fly with him. The act of marriage was the balm, however, to the proud, hard hearted, and ungrateful person given him for the one deed owing to the belated marriage, but he. "Reed," was impossible in his eyesight, because of the contemplated "Reed." "Ruth" shows up finely in saving "Heart" against the man, her husband. Theresa Burris, as "Heart", is a delight, a character that would be acceptable to any audience. She very beautiful, but there are all so glad now that her father never did learn that she was so willing to join the scoundrel "Reed."

The following lines, taken from Ella Wheeler Wilcox's beautiful poem, "The night well have been written of the late lamented Booker T. Washington: "Again I slept, I seemed to climb a hill. And just behind me labored one whose patient face was black. I plucked him. A hour he gained upon the path; he walked up the hill." He stood beside me; stood upright—and then I turned in wrath—"Go back," he said, "have you to walk beside me here? For you are black and I am white," I paused, struck dumb with fear, For, of it, black in his place, but Christ in his place; And on! the pain, the pain, the pain, that looked from that dear face."

To learn of thy untimely death, Or voices trained in singer's art. To tell us what thy life has been; Thy deeds art written on the heart, Didst strive to render all men good. With hope serene and sylve sublime Thy faltered not, the' slander rude Nor heed gou thou of this attack. Nor Mammon's greed had not prevailed To turn thy feet from virtue's track Despised, to birth. Yet rose superior to birth. Though scorned, rejected, ostracized. Unto all men did prove thy worth.

The unceremonious "canning" of the stock company at the Lafayette Theater has caused widespread comment among the play-folk all over the country. There is an unusual amount of speculation concerning the matter as Mr. King's company, for Mr. King's company has shown here and in Baltimore and his eminent abilities as a chase artist, are well down. There is much mystery attached to this sudden action on the part of Mr. Morganstan in taking up some valuable space in discussing its metes and bounds. It is in taking up some valuable space in that "The Old Kentucky Home," a musical comedy, with a melodic swing, and which was chosen as Mr. King's company. He refuses the play, if such a spot is there. Mr. King offers to remedy any evil that may be located and assures the theatre altogether taking some one of his other successes. This very reasonable proposition is also declined. Mr. Morganstan. Why? an answer to Somebody asks the question, What does Mr. Morganstern know about dramatic construction or musical composition? He steps in and essay to pass judgment on this production, when the censorship has invariably been a function belonging to the director, who knows what" in theatricals? Why does Mr. Morganstern, whose only part in the proceedings is to draw his share of the box-office receipts, "but in" at this moment? It is reported that Mr. Walton had gone to Philadelphia on the morning of the King company arrival to the city, and he arrived at the Standard, for an early appearance of Walton's production, "Darkydom," at that house. It is hinted that Walton was the author of the Walton play, but under pressure, evinced a willingness to use "Darkydom," provided an opening should the time, at least, for Gibson's new show, "Broadway Rastus," which, as the story goes, Walton seemed to be only a minor character in the provinces. Whether it was necessary for the Lafayette management to get rid of Billy King to satisfy the King, or whether the things with both eyes to see what they will see anent this phase of the situation. In the meantime, Billy King, who is as shreyd as they are in his show before the "bad spot" was discovered. The sleuths were sleeping on their rights in not nailing the alleged bulgarian in recording to New York law, if a show is presented more than once without complaint, the visiting manager is entitled to pay for the life of his contract, and the sleuths' weeks' salary for his company, the term for which he was engaged, Mr. Morganstern, it is assumed, with his thinks of an episode does not yet appear. Experienced theatrical people and expect critics witnessed the King show and all are quoted as saying about it in fact, found much to praise in both the book and the music. Will Marion Cook is reported as commending its melodies as equal to in "Darkydom," his own compositions. It is now given out that Manager Eugene Elmore lost the book and asked to see the book And like the Christ of Calvary, Who sailed to the load. No battle ever fought. No greater victory eer won; In heaven the recompense thou sought. Thee herer speaks: "Enough! well done! Rest gentle soul in realm of bliss, Who sailed to the load of ores. Thy face and potent voice we miss, But still thy soul goes marching on. Thou hast received thy diadem, Inscribed therein, in letters gold, Where all may see: "He lived for Men." A rose and a tear, we drop on his bier, And we start as the coiled obedient. And solemnly of the priest we hear Inscribed our loved one to God Salem, Tutt Whitney. I Love Her Eyes. I love her eyes; they may be blue black or orange, and they will start when I seek clue, And blind me with love's mist. I love her eyes; e'en when they lure And taunt and hypnotize, They daunt me not for I am sure They only tantalize. I love her eyes; those liquid deeps From which an angel sweetly peeps And cools my heart of fire. I love her eyes; for when I gaze Into those orbs so bright, I penetrate their azure haze And glimpse the infinite. I love her eyes that smile at me With wonder and surprise; I love them, for its then I see My tote pouch. I love her eyes; in them I read All that I e'er may be; My inspiration, hope and need And heav'n—eternity. I love her eyes of beauty rare, Resplendent with love's light; I look and see reflected there with light, with light I love her eyes, O happy clod! And worship at their shrine; I love her eyes, the Three God For Thou hast made them mine, -Salem Tutt Whitney, 610 N. 39th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. of "Old Kentucky Home." After studying it carefully, he reported that he saw no "smut," and expressed an an- xiety to play the piece at his theater as so much as possible. A mystery that puzzles the traveled onlookers is: Why is it that a company that can run for three months or more "solid" at a house like the Lafayette Inn? It is good enough for the Lafayette in New York, where the population is not more select than that found on "The Stroll"? This causes cosmopolitanism, especially when it is remembered that some of the rawest of performers have been held over at the Harlem house for as long as three weeks. But that's The writer knows little or pothing of the merits of the New York conference, witnessed a performance of "The Old Kentucky Home" last spring in Baltimore, when the King company put in three weeks or so at the Urpheme, five years after the show. It compared favorably with any musical comedy that any stock company has presented anywhere, and we were pleased to see the King and his people on the admirably balanced performance they gave, as well as the dramatic strength of the climaxes and the finished rendition of the song. We were pleased with the show and expressed the wish that Mr. King had used this choice another when he ordered a short time to talk to the Howard in Washington. This testimony is freely given, in a spirit of charity, in King, Chicago people have endorsed all we want to the actor-folk and the public generally are keeping an eye open to see the outcome of this "celebrated case." His hands and wishes to try Washington again, he will doubtless receive a royal welcome here. Johnson & Lee, young team, are at the center of the week. The Abyssinian Trio, Mills and Frisby, and a white musical act are holding the boards this week at the Howeon the show is a good one all around. NOTES FROM MORGAN'S MIGHTY MINSTRELS. (By Sam Good.)

Gray, 1221 Pine St.) "Darkydom" is the title of a very amusing comedy which holds the title of the most popular show this week. The action takes place at Mound Bayou, Miss, and is in two acts and four scenes that take place south and its peculiar character will wonder why the author chose the title. The success of the incident. As the action progresses the title loses its identity. The fun of the show is the fact that the audience enders F. E. Miller as Steve Jenkins. He has built up his part in a genuinely funny comedy, and splendid for Miller and the two men are richly humorous. Allie Gillam, who is the director, sorts of way contributed pleasingly to the entertainment, but lagged just a few steps behind her. Wore so many medals. Hilda Offley, as Miss Hazel Black, an insurance agent, comes for much for valuable comment. She irradiates her part with intelligence, winniness and real artistic understanding. Her body was superb in art and skill and she gave surprising illumination to the comedy, and Fannie Wise, who sang "Happiness" and "Cairo" was given a keen sense of grace and holding and the audience clamored for more and all felt sorry when she appeared no more. Other members in the cast are Al T. Watt, Will A. Cook, Henry Troy, D.

NEW YORK CITY—Miss Anita Bush, who only yesterday stepped from the role of a tripping comedienne to the role of a vaudeville order, to the role of a more higher and dignified calling—"Drama"—opened on last Monday matinee at the company of players in a specially written playlet that proved to be an immediate hit and a revelation to colorful.

There is little or no plot, and the entertainment is made up principally of vaudeville numbers. The book's main draw is the sketch in the latter half, when Joe Bright, Speedy Smith and Charles Payne get into an alteration which makes him look like a dancer adaptation from Dudley's "Trip to Coon Town." There are several bright spots in the program. Dainty Thressa burroughs-Brooks is a decided favorite, and dancing, De Gaston and Miss Maybele Brown score nicely in an artistic soft shoe dance.

Marks 654 Broadway, New York City ew Grand FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ACCEPT THE LOCAL NEWS THEN ACCEPT THE FINAL (By C. J. Taylor.) Havana was founded in the year 1515 and is therefore in its four hundredth birthday year. Name. Havana takes its name from a beauti- ful Indian girl named La Habana. It is said nature beat her beautiful. bestowing her beauty of beauty to makes that she was often seen looking in the clear waters beholding the lines her magnificent figure, so much so, that she was called Havana the "Vain Situated. This great city is built and being built as a center of commerce and commerce of Cuba, with the corner of Mexico lashing its borders on the north of the island, and exposing a like favor on the east. Fortifications. It is a well fortified city too, for the Spanish, who have millions and millions of dollars, say nothing of the thousands of Cuban laymen who many those many form around this city. Language. Being under Spanish rule, for the most part, the last four hundred years, it is easy to conquer Spanish, almost wholly, in the last decade, the soon-to-be universal language—English—has made great progress, coming now to meet Spanish speakers, Chinese and most anybody use on the streets, in the stores, hotels and cafes who can and do make it known by the use of the "English." Population. It is claimed, on good authority, that the population has passed from the million to the million territory, mainly because, unlike the great American cities, it builds 'out' the buildings, most instances, the buildings, residences as well as business places and office buildings and anywhere from one to four stories high. High ceilings is one feature of the buildings, a kind of thinking of emulation of American architects. Mode of Living. In the crowded or old part of the city, the living conditions are all but inviting, with no inconvenience. Half dozes to twenty-five people crowded into a few back rooms of a building while the front part of it is being used as a store, a café and saloon combined; and in some cases, a blacksmith shop. But in the new part of the city—the part built since American intervention nearly two decades ago—the streets are wide, sidewalks are canaled and garages are condominious, autos and garages are plentiful and the parks are full of beautiful, well-dressed and children—not children, either. It was my purpose to state earlier in this article that the streets in the old part of the city were havens harbor—are very narrow. In some places they are so narrow that one Ford car has to stop to the other, the people get anywhere from 12 to 48 inches wide. And with these crowded conditions, the people seem to get along with it. Everybody goes at a rapid rate too, and especially in the down-town section where the traffic is heavy and the streets all kinds of pedestrians. The city has a splendid street car system, considering the narrow streets and other hindrances. And, too, a for city transportation is the "coach splendid auxiliary" of the city's automobile. The streets are lined with these vehicles and two persons may ride in a coach to any place in the city for ten cents—cents each or in any case. If only one person the fare is the same as two. Sanitary Conditions. Most people in coming here think they are going to some "mud hole," but not so: Havana is no mean city. It is a city that is good and it is one of the boasts of the city that they have perfected a splendid drainage system that keeps the city clean public buildings are neat and the parks resemble very much a flower garden. The water supply here, too, is said to be one of the purest to be found City Government. Like most other talings, the city government is patterned after the large American cities, except the "Recall" and "Referendum." One thing can be said: the American newsboys are numerous as American newsboys selling "ballpark extras" after a world's series game. All the officers carry a revolver, and they belt on the outside of their coats and they also carry a mace about eighteen inches long, and not unlike the ones used by "strong arm" squads in certain American cities. Parks and Plazas. Some of the most beautiful parks and plazas to be found anywhere are located right at the extreme northeast end of the city and just at the point where the gulf stops and the Havana harbor begins, is the most beautiful, central Park, near the heart of the city. Another beautiful spot which comes in for a larger share of attention from the city is the beautiful serves as a connecting link between the "Malecon" and "Central Park." It is a beautiful promenade, coated in white sand and wide walkways in the center, and sandwiched in between with numerous flowering thousands and thousands of the city's population gather at these two parks every night to listen to the beautiful chorus of Spanish music, or municipal band, and to drink down the soothing brews from the gulf, which are just strong enough to make for perfect comfort. These places of amusement and recreation are well-lighted, and are full of sweet smelling flowers, many walk- The Harbor Another interesting place is Havana nor here. It was in its waters, as every ship in the Caribbean, and hundreds of American sailors went to their death back in the early part of 1888. Strange to the exact spot of the terrible trench. Morro Castle. The place here that will furnish the most thrills, give the most concrete ideas of the cruelties of the Spaniards, and the terrible and unspeakable sufferings those poor Cubans had to undergo. So, is this wonderless for the Cossac Castle. It is a place that will easily once and protect a fighting army of one million men and furnish prison one for half that number. And, too, it is to be made up of the present seals almost as superhuman structure. Millions upon millions of dollars were spent in its building and there cannot be a single doubt but that thousands upon thousands of Cubas slaves live were saved in the power of the inconceivable wonderful fortress. It was built in the year of 1589 by order of King Phillip II. The inside of this fort is a most graphical picture of bronze built in its walls, a small box, a small set of the old dredged walls of Cuban soldiers, whose only crime was a desire for that God-given right to every human being, freedom, and justice, and the most high-health with their hands tied behind them and shot to the Chickadee. The most they were shot down and would fall in a heap one upon the other. This ruesome picture has only one redeemable feature—an angel with outstreets—wings and hands, sent to comfort those poor unfortunate martyrs in that most trying court President's Marriot Built many decades ago, and under them were used as a home-for the high officers. navy, this quaint old building has been converted into a "White House" of this baby republic. From an outside window, it looks so spacious other than its size and huge columns; but inside—the great "Blue" and "Red" rooms—present a picture not to be scoffed at. In fact, it is a fitting rift to the White House at Currency. Until recently, Spanish money was in circulation. It is now obsolete and this money does not unlike our own American money except in denomination. They have gold coins in $5, $10 and $20 denominations, but no paper money. The fact is, American money is in circulation the Castillo del Principe. The great Federal prison of Cuba is another place of interest. It is directly west of the big commercial center of the city's silated on an end of a lacerado overlooking the city and the entire outlying country for miles around. Indeed, it would be a fitting site for a big university. In its walls, a small men's 165 boys are named as the parently ranging in ages from 1 to 70 years, most of whom are in for periods of from three years to life. While incarcerated in this battle, they are taught to take the time to taught books. So many years each day every prisoner must go to school. The prison, except for the barred doors and the big heavily-armed guards, standing around, resembles more than the must-be-shook than a place of punishment for crime. At the completion of each day's every park and plaza in the city. It is both—for this purpose is provided and is a part of both hours with hundreds of more showers. Everything is kept neat and clean. There is also a laundry operated by the prisoners. It is said that more than five thousand pieces are laundered each week. The prisoners are required to make complete change of clothes twice weekly. Then there are such other industrial works as the shoe shop, blacksmith, sports-car, and other new shops, flower garden and fancy works, etc. Every prisoner is required to shave twice each week and must have his hair cut every month, and onward appearances, they seem to be treated very kindly. They are given a new suit of clothes, five dollars in money and transportation home. We were informed, they many of the same, save a little sum during their period of service by doing more work each day than is their allotted time. They are all required to stand with uncovered heads when American visitors appear near their cells or workstations. There are many monuments here, too. Large white marble statues adorn most every park and plaza in the city. It is a place where the patriots who fought and died for Cuban independence. The one intended to be a monument to the Cuban independence leader Antonio Moya is a monument of that fearless and masterful Cuban independence leader. Cemetery This article would not be complete if mention were not made of the cemetery. It is said to be one of the finest in the world. It abounds in beautiful landscapes and a long-dead. It is claimed by the natives to be one of the first places visited by the American tourists who swarm this part of the globe during the winter months. Color Prejudice. Lastly, it becomes necessary now to say that one feature of the American is being felt here, the shame of the monster, "worse than the 'Green-yed monster' spoken of by the poet, 'Race prejudice.' It is hard to stand its head on the ground, I am told that years ago there was never a thought of color, but now the conditions are creent and they have been made so that they are not true that these people believe his way is about correct. And as a result the black people of this city and this region are the ones whose those of a fighter hue are their superiors. It is easy to see that this colorphobia only needs a little more "nursing" and it will grow to immense pro Opportunity for Young - Colored Men and Women. I find a great opportunity here for brilliant young colored men and women. I mean men and women of color have a hard time interacting with good, not only for their own personal aggrandizement, but for the best interests of the colored people. It is easy to forget that we are not only to learn to speak the English language—which in time is sure to be universally spoken. It seems clear to me that it is important to learn English and women in the overcrowded cities in the States could make a splendid investment of their time and talent by coming here well prepared in every way for the many positions that will soon open up on this island. Many tourists and other English speaking countries and much of their money is being invested. The Panama canal is another major destination directly south of here and much of our own trade and that from Canada must come this route to reach that destination for distribution to the rest of the world. Climate. For more than six months in the year the climate is delightful and a wonderful opportunity is offered for pioneer work. All told, this is a great city and a great little republic.

Bat is having his face made over. Chicago—Harry Pollock, manager of Freddie Welsh, will confer here with Ad Wolgast today, about a fight with the 2000 for a championship battle, with the champions Welsh left for New York last night. La Croise, Ws., Nov. 18—Ad Wolgast, working in old-time form, was an easy winner over Jimmy Murphy, Chicago, in a ten-round bout here last night. Wolgast was the aggressor all the way. Dick Keegan, a promoter of pugilistic contests, is reported having in view a contest between Jack Johnson and Kingford, in Montreal, for twenty rounds. The Council of the United States Football Association, the government body of soccer football in this country, will be held at Boston November 21. It will be the first session of the meeting outside of New York City and many important matters are to be acted upon. --- New York—New York boxers will be given of prize pugilists, if Chairman Free Wencke, of state boxing commission, allows every scraper in New York state in order that the commission can maintain those supervision of all fighters who use it. --- Pittsburg—James Shaw, twenty-two Washington American League pitcher, who was thought to be fatally shot by an accidental discharge of backshot from a pitching machine in Greensburg, Pa., not long since, will undoubtedly recover and play baseball as of old. Dr. Serman, of St. Francis Hospital, where Shaw is confined, told the United Press the *other day*. Columbus, O.-After several months of clucking around, the Tuxedo Athletic League said it would be Willie Beecher, of New York, and Jimmy Anderson, of Indianapolis, to fight before the club on November. Jimmy Anderson had an agreement with Tom Brown, of the New York Giants, and canceled his t rip for a longer THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER stay, so as to try and include Willie Beecher in his list of wins. Beecher has been the most important part of the state. Only recently he fought Milburn Saylor and Johnny Griffith over at Akron. Chicago—Unless the New York promoters gum things, Fred Fulton Gopher giant, will fight Jess Willard, the heavyweight championship and that $38 swag. New Orleans is the place. For the first time in any number of moons middle-west sporting experts agree that Fulton is big enough and good. Bob Zuppke, who never played on a varsity eleven, and who had coached "prep" school teams only, went to Illinois in 1914 and lifted that team to the national championship. World John Rush, who never played on a varsity eleven, and whose coaching experience had been limited to the first two seasons, fall and built up the best eleven this Princeton has had in many years. If Captain Ivan Boughton, of the Ohio State University football eleven, was playing with Northwestern at Evanston, Ill., today, he will have established what is now known as the Ohio State football player. He will have played three years of varsity football, and will have played a single minute of play. During the strenuous experience Boughton lost a few front teeth, which he will have recovered. His end is ended. His home is in Columbus. HONUS WAGNER TO LEAD PITTS BURG TEAM IN 1916. When the Pittsburg Pirates start South next spring for their training trip, I predict that there will be a big, bowlegged Dutchman leading the gang. I say this on pretty good time. I think the Wagmus is well. He is the next manager of the Pirates. He will take the place of the veteran Fred Clarke. Honus has hesitated some about accepting the job for he feels he is prett! I feel on the same age, and he would not want to go to work at something now and be a bust. Away back in 1909, after that season, both Wagner and Fred Clarke wanted to retire from baseball. East, though though that were the game long enough and each knew he was getting old. Both were satisfied financially—Clarke with his big ranch in Kansas and Wagner, with his place in Carnegie, Pa. The Pirates had just won the world competition, and the two veterans and side partners of long standing would quit the game on the crest of the baseball wave. Clarke at this time saw ahead the aging of his machine, which had just won for him and the fight to build another. He did not think he desired to devote that much more time to the game. Clarke did not honestly believe he had a big job, and the world's championship in 1909, would be a carney. He was right. He went to Barney. Dreyfus. "Boss," he said, "Honus and I are going to quit." He gave me now." answered Dreyfuss. "Stay one more year anyway. I want you both with the club next season when we will be known as the best team." Clarke and Wagner finally consented to stick. And they have kept going ever since. Clarke had to quit the season. He is not the type of leader who likes to manage from the bench. "I can't get the best results from the team's ability," he told me one day last season. So Clark decided he had had enough of baseball after this last season, and he no longer so engaged. He pointed at this writing. Honus thought of quitting the game with Clarke. "We have always been side partners," he said to a friend, referring to Clarke and himself "and it won't seem like the same ball club with Fred." Honus's legs have been bad for some time. The damp ground at the old Exposition park on the river bank got wet, and he was left to age, and I have known him to play when every step he made was like the jumping toothache in his legs. He is one of the games he is good at, and he has been around from one job to another in the last few years, trying to ease the strain, and he has been out of the game as good deal as he has been in it. There all the time, and does not realize he does not carry the same powers of resistance he did ten years ago. He has been Wagner's batting eye has not dimmed much. He can still sting the ball with the best of the country, but his strength has not been heard that Honus was thinking of quitting with Clarke, he rushed to the big shortstop and pleaded with him. Wagner agreed to stick. I doubt he would have been as long as he could get in there, for we all think we will leave baseball flat someday, but every one of us keeps coming back for more and they finally throw Wagner is worrying whether he can win a championship that tated about it all. I believe he would make a grand leader, for I know his team has a lot of talent that a manager needs. He is game to the core. That is an essential. He knows the team is not discourage him. He knows baseball as few men in the country know that he has been flashy about this knowledge. THE A. B. C.s IN CUBA.

Figarola was killed by a pitched ball while in a park, and that he was struck by Mendez, the star of the Cuban twirlers. Massaguer says: "I was mortified to see that I was hit by Figarola, one of the best catchers in Cuba. There was quite a stir when the article reached here. As Jose was hit, he was granted to be true. However, I visited his family and found that he was in the best of health and enjoying him. He was granted to be the leading American teams when the tourist season opens next month. The season for such a report is that Figarola has a few enemies who are jealous." CREMO WISHES ENGAGEMENT. Sporting Editor Freeman Sweet heeman.
