WASHI and $250,000 Fund Sought—People of the Race's Fallen Chieftain—"B Songs Touchingly Rendered— WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—The national's capital has joined with the illions of the city in memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and builder of Tidegee Institute. A wendemann in which packed spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. church to the doors, exercises at the national memorial ring, held as a mark of respect to the remarkable educator and merely man of affairs, who passed away at his southern home on the 14th Former Mayor Seth Low Talks on "The Sultan of Service." the spirit or so of the occasion The wristband of the occasion was delivered by the Hon. Seth Low, former mayor of New York city and chairman of the board of institutes. He was introduced in a happy fashion by Mr. Lassiter, the presiding officer, following the latter's statement that brought together the host of friends and admirers of the deceased teacher and philosopher. Mr. Low and helpful address. Mr. Low talked of the Institute in its early days and showed how the generous institutions won the affection and esteem of the people of that section that no baron could afford. He also described the activities of the qualified colored citizens there, and how under its guidance example the colored people of Massachusetts and the best homes best schools and the best farms owned by race anyone in the state of Alabama were built. The whites was exhibited on the campus of Washington's funeral when he visited the bankers, city officials and businessmen and made their places and went out to the Institute to pay their last tribute of respect to the national aspect, Mr. Low offered the fact that Egypt and other port cities had called for graduates of the University to possess the art of making cotton, and the need of vocational training and brought up in all sections of America to become a casseur of Dr. Washington as to the propriety. ness of "working with the hands"—the "Tuskegee Idea." The influence of the "Tuskegee Idea" among the opportunities of educated men and women—those who had acquired something of the so-called "wright" education—teach the wrights, and he has provided a market for the services of the lawyer, doctor, dentist and other professional workers, and how he had developed a farmfarm, and he has provided a market for the services of the scientific agriculturist, doubling his commercial profits by the adoption of modern methods of tilling the soil. The naive nature of the wrights was also noted by reference to the founding of the National Negro Business eLague, the Farmers' Conference Teachers, the movement for improved rural schools, the encouragement given to churches and their ministers and the help he gave in painting the M.C. of Carnegie libraries in influencing the C.I.F. of Carnegie libraries to the colored colleges in several of the centers of Negro aspiration. These are but a few examples of the efforts hended in Dr. Washington's world-wide program. To Raise a $2,000,000 Memorial Fund for Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Low placed great stress on the plan of the trustees of the school to raise a "Hooker T. Washington Meister" to the arduous task of placing out an annual deficit of $150,000 in the running expenses. The fund is to insure the trustees of the traditional lines and to enlarge the work as the necessity becomes apparent. Of this amount the colored people of Tuskegee have not contributed not less than $250,000, out of which a suitable monument is to be erected to the memory of the deceased leader. The white friends of the cause have contributed not less than $400,000, and it is stated that there is already pledged the sum of $450,000. Of this fund has been placed in the capable hands of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee's faithful secretary, of whom Mr. Low spoke in the most laudatory manner. The noblest and most valuable part of Tuskegee Institute is what Dr. "The Tuskegee Spirit." That means nothing more than the spirit of service, which the principal illustrated during all of his splendid life—to the very last day of his ca- "These young men and young women who go away from Tuskegee with their families, have learned some useful trade, by the time they have finished their course, have caught and have had drilled into them that magnificent spirit that makes them a great world, not merely to earn their own living, but they go out from that institution charged with the feeling that they have got to make contributions in the service and uplift of their race, and in whatever communal and industrial tone and the standard of efficiency of the little communities in Speakingwhich they cast their lot." Booker Washington has made us feel that in serving Tuskegee Institute we are not simply serving the Negro American people or any one country in particular, but he has made us feel that we were the spirit with which Booker T. Washington was able to imbue other men—and that was the spirit which gave him throughout all of his illusory career. Secretary McAdoe Warmly Received. Following Mr. Low, the Hon. William Gibbs McAdoe, Secretary of the Treasury, was introduced and paid a share of the work to the worth and work of the deceased educator. He said, in part: "I am indeed to have this opportunity to say to you men and women here of the colored race that you have every reason to cheer for you, physically, he lives here, more than he may race, as well as in the hearts of the white people of this country, and he will always be respected and honored as one of the greatest products of Ameri- Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, then spoke as follows: "I know books, I sing songs, I know my years, I think that one of your speakers this afternoon has given us the secret of his wonderful influence when he tells you how to teach your students races and taught them to know and believe in each other. And when that lesson shall have permeated through your community, the will no longer trouble us. I live in a community in which there are two large schools for the education of your children. We throw from the institution supported by the Baptist church—indeed, I am (as they say) their "nighest neighbor." It is a testimonial to your race to say that they help to maintain a splendid community by their conduct and by their character. They are not only a blessing to their homes, but to their state."

Mr. Frohman described the career of Mr. Lucas as that of a gentleman. He held up as a model for the rest of the white people of the company in which he played and that the rise of Lucas should serve as an inspiration for the company. Frohman said further: "I am just from Boston, where I left my trunk, to be present at the funeral of my friend Lucas and give him his first rehearsal. I remember him as a gentleman. He felt the gentleman, because of his personal tenure, and that it in 1875 in Beethoven Hall in Boston when Lucas first attracted the attention of the public as an actor.

Bishop Alexander Walters when seen by your correspondent before he left for Washington last week expressed himself as being in favor of more of the bishops, the church. The bishop believes that the present number is insufficient and that for the work he chooses, we must select more for the next general conference. When asked relative to the question of more bishops, he said: "We are not going to select two bishops, and since we have no repeal of that vote. I suppose we may expect election of two, and we may expect election of three, the work is a little burdensome at the present, and I for one will gladly welcome some assistance. We must do less visiting or have more bishops, the rate at which we are going we can not stand it much longer. Bishop Walters is one of the most aggressive Zion prelates and usually expresses the best sentiment of his church. MIDDLETOWN, OHIO, NEWS. (By Robert King.)

To that end they are requested not only to work up in- terest In the movement, but also to take @ collection from among the chil- Gren of the various schools throughout the country on April 5, 1916. It I also earnestly urged that Sun- |day.,March 12, 1916, be set aside as a special day upon which to raise a col- lection in all the Colored churches and Sunday schools throughout the country toward this Fund. In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a mini- mum, it has been decided by the Trus- tees Of the Institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected be sent di- rectly to, and acknowledged from ‘Tuskegee Institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, ‘Treasurer, Tuskegee Institute, Ala- bama, or'to the order of the under- signed. It shall be our purpose to send to all of the subscribers to this Fund who give Five ($5.00) Dollars, or more, a certificate to be framed, showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the home in which he was born, and a plc- ture of Tompkins Memorial Hall, the largest building on the Institute grounds. Correspondence is invited from all who are interested in this movement, and the assurance 1s given that if the Colored people themselves give $250,000 Of the $2,000,000 to be raised, this sum will be met ‘more than dollar for dol- ar by contributions from white peaple Interested in the advancement of the Colored people of the United States. ‘The ‘Trustees have decided that out of the money given by the Colored peo- ple, there shall be erected on the In- stitute grounds a permanent Memorial to Dr, Washington's unselfish and use- ful life to take the form of a bulld- ing, a statue, or @ monument of some other character. “The Colored people will thus have the opportunity not only of contributing to the Fund itself, but also of erecting the Monument which ghall stand on the Institute grounds as “a memorial of Dr. Washington's sa- gaclty, of his courage, of his prudence, of his self-forgetfulness, and of his patriotic service to the Colored people, and to the people of the United States,” (Signed) EMMETT J.

Solutions was read by Ferdinand D. Lee, chairman, and was unanimously adopted amid great enthusiasm. The report comprised a preamble setting the agenda for the committee, pledged by the activities of Dr. Washington and endorsed among other national organizations the international "Booker T. Washington Day" to observe annually by the colored people of the country, and urging the prompt raising of the memorial fund of $250.00 to the Tuskegee Institute.

Letters of Regret Received from Many Hymn and Folk-Songs in Memory of the Departed. the music for the occasion was furnished by the chair of the Metropolitan University, Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University, with Prof. William Braxton at the organ. "elad Kindly Light," the music for the Washington's favorite hymn, "Hom Firm a Foundation," were among the selections rendered. One of the striking features of the music for the audience, under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, of the Amphion Glee Club, of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," by Dr. W. H.

Azalia Hackley comes on February 2 at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church. The sale of tickets presages a success. The fight for delegates to the Republican national convention is growing warm. The abolition "Roe 45," which forbade women to teach her marriage, is well thought of by the people of the District who think with their prejudices or apprehensions. The suit of Dr. W. Bruce Evans against the board of education, asking the board of education to reinstate him as principal of Armstrong Manual Training School was concluded last Thursday. Justice Stafford has the authority to nullify the request a strong belief that Dr. Evans has made out his case and that the Justice will sue the mandamus requested. The Justice has made out his case and that the Justice have no confidence in the Bruce administration and do not believe the board has any of the masses on any of the questions in which the plain people are interested. Missionary Bishop J. Albert Johnson, who was pleased to attend a field at the Norfolk general conference of the A. M. E. church in 1908, has been in the city on a furlough to a fair congregation on Sunday last and lectured to a small audience on "Africa" on Monday evening. His appearances were the Mesopotamian pastors where he served as pastor some years ago. He returns to Africa at the end of his leave, to fill in the duties to which he was assigned, which will hold him in that country until 1920. Mr. J. C. Napier will be in the city next Monday, en route to New York to attend a meeting of the Jeanes Fund board.

Miss Josephine Fowler is one of the new appointees in the Office of Engraving and Printing. Director Ralph gives the colored eligibles a square deal. An effort is being made to overrule the selection of the "Grimkite" with the title of the new building taken from the Street High School. The board of education says "Grimkite." The opponents T. Washington, Blydey, the secretary names more desirable than that by the board. The people are probably more against the board than they are against the name it proposes. The cantata "Ruth" will be given at the D Street Armory February 17, for the event atbury M. E. Church. Mrs. Fannie M. Chick will the manager and Miss Estelle Clark will officiate as pianist of the occasion. Tuskegee graduates and former students at great school held a 'Get Together' meeting Tuesday evening at the Y.

WATSON Republican Candidate For United States Senator WILL ASK FOR NOMINATION FOR LIETENANT-GOVERNOR. Mr. Edgar D. Bush will ask for the Republican nomination for lieutenant-governor next year. While many throughout the district had hoped that he would again be nominated, the fight was against nominee nominee, which has determined to forego that and respond to the earnest solicitation of friends who state go to the Republican state convention for lieutenant-governor. Mr. Bush is a native son of Washinton and the Republican of the county will take pleasure in urging for this important office because of his service. He graduated from Indiana University in the class of '95 and taught EDGAR D. BUSH school in Madison county. Although an active farmer, and a successful one in Howard township, he has been associated with business interests in Indianapolis. Mr. Bush is a Republican with democratic ancestors. He believes that the people served through the policies of the Republican party. His foremost desire is for the success of that party in 1916, even above his own personal interests and interests. However, if the people of Indiana should name him as their candidate for lieutenant-governor they will have more to the spirit and activity of the campaign than he. He was the party candidate for congress last year, and his energy, vitality and enthusiasm will bring the party into a good working organization. A.T. CLAYPOOL Veedersburg, Fountain Co.

President Wilson should do a bit of reciprocity and select a Republican for the supreme court bench. Has he got the nerve? C. J. Stafford, of Knoxville, Tenn., is called the Berkshire hog king of his state. He is said to raise the finest Berkshire hogs in the country. That's the kind of man Booker T. Washington loved. A Baltimore headwaiter, who recently died in that city; left bequests amounting to $10,000. No wonder the man who holds that job is so envied. As between a proprietor and a headwaiter in a good hotel to be headwaiter is often safer. The primary election campaign is on, reminding one of the good old yesterday when the Republicans had a chance to win. Something in confidence; it is not begotten without cause. The next election will very likely prove a great revelator. A change is coming over the white brethren of the South. Educational institutions of that section are organizing an event much in form of lawlessness. It goes without saying that these great, better influences can do much toward reducing the evil. 1916 can be made the banner lynching reducing year. A bill was recently introduced in the lower house at Washington to the effect that elected or appointed commissioned or non-commissioned officers of the Negro race shall not be a part of the army or navy of the United States. A big piece of folly? Yes. What's the man thinking about, and in these times when war is nearly girdling the globe? We need every man of us. The right to those things as citizens is claimed. Monkeying with ten million people is a very serious business. President Wilson's conclusion to take the stump for preparedness will be a brilliant political move. He knows the great majority are with him, at least to some extent. The present war has taught a great lesson. Those tremendous forces of Europe that appear to Americans, but that they know that the country is in no condition to protect itself against any ordinary invading force. Only a comparatively few people are against reasonable preparation. So the President will have pretty pleasant sailing in his swing around the country. Montgomery Bell, of Las Vegas, N.M., who recently died in that city, was said to have been worth $250,000. At his funeral all of the pallbearers were white, the first time such a thing had occurred in the history of the state. In fact there has been but few such cases in the country. He made his money in common pursuits, and which he invested, finally becoming a silent partner in the People's Trust Co., of which he was called and as it will in most places. Money is not all life, but it is a very considerable part of it. These white pallbearers had great respect for Mr. Montgomery Bell. C. R. Patterson and sons, of Greenfield, O., were manufacturers of wagons and carriages since 1865, being one of the most reliable firms of that state. Owing to the coming of the automobile they, like many other concerns of the kind, found it necessary to take on the new industry or pass out of business. This is a firm of colored men, now engaged in making automobiles, perhaps the only company they were by color, that they build two styles of five passenger cars. Their output is considered equal to anything of its class. The firm is a fine representation of the fifty years of race progress. Poor little old Montenegro was not considered worth saving from the war's colossal maw. So it goes down, and probably will be effaced from the map; gone to join Poland and maybe Belgium, who must look up into the faces of stranger lords. And the price? Decimates ranks, starved and frozen women and children. Mr. Ford's heart is in the right place at the moment, but it is failed. The spirit of war's opposition has been hurled; no force is lost even if not hurled; no force is lost even not wholly effective. It will be felt when men again think of setting themselves against one another. The report is going the rounds that when Booker T. Washington was six years old he was quoted at $400. His mother was valued at $250 and his uncle at $600. His brother John was set down at $550, being a few years older than Booker. His uncle must have been considerably along in age at the time as he was worth only $50 more than the ten-year-old boy, John. It is said that this inventory which has been kept in a good state of preservation, is now the property of S. O. Burroughs, of Roanoke. Dr. Burroughs, sometime before Dr. Washington's death, supplied the noted Negro with a copy of this record. Kansas City, Mo., will have the next conference of the National Negro Business League, the great business meet of the Negro race of America. The first night's session, August 16, will be devoted to memorial exercises in honor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder, the first and only president the league has ever had. It is being asked, who will succeed as president? We have no hesitancy in putting in for Emmett J. Scott, in event it does not logically go to Principale Moton. Perhaps, it is due to the principal, who should have the privilege of trying himself out in the works of the late principal in all respects. The colored people of St. Louis are moving hurriedly toward the acquisition of a fitting Y. M. C. A. building. They raised $70,000 among themselves in a remarkably short time, assuring the Rosenwald contribution of $25,000. There were two $5,000 donations, the largest amounts, so far, that have ever been given by colored persons for such work. Times may be out of joint in some respects in dear old America, but never for Negro opportunity. This opportunity may be restricted largely to ourselves, but it is opportunity nevertheless. There is no way to inform ourselves of the great blessing we enjoy. We are born amid it, and consequently know nothing else. The old flag may be accounted for, the civil仪篝燡" but it has some redeeming qualities. No nation of blacks are thriving, or has thrived as we of this day thrive. And this is due to the fact that we are dependent on one another for success in the best business since, and where money is made fastest. We have said many times that the white people are our bank in common; as long as they are not broke we cannot break. If we fall in our little beginnings, we go right back to the bank, thanks to our pliable nature, draw on it, with our hands of course, and in a short while we are on a new footing. We may experiment in anyway we please and as many times and in a way our bills are cared for. Can it be beat? Not hardly. It will be greatly to the credit of President Wilson if he appoints ex-President Taft to the bench of the supreme court, that is, provided Mr. Taft desires the appointment. Everything being equal, it would be a pretty how to do if a former president could not be appointed to any position that is consistent with affairs as they are found administered. The party spirit is all right enough, but it should not be so rampant as to exclude the services of valuable men of whatever political faith especially as it refers to the greater judges. Heretofore, it has not prevented presidents from stepping over lines, and the appointees were not ex-presidents. Mr. Wilson, it is understood, has given it out that he will not appoint any one to the office over sixty years of age. This blanket provision may shut Mr. Taft out. But it does not need to do it. Wise men change their minds. In the upper house of the national legislature there is what is known as senatorial courtesy, and for some purposes it is almost as binding as the terms of a Greek letter society. With presidents this same thing should be, and still higher and nobler in the manifestation. We are a democratic people, true enough, but at that we cannot get away from the fact that we owe something to distinction. There is such a thing as noblesse oblige, and if avoided or cut out it is at the expense of the angels of our better nature. In short, President Wilson should appoint ex-President Taft to the supreme court bench if he desires the appointment. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." Eugene V. Debs, in a recent issue of the Terre Haute Post, also takes a fling at "The Birth of a Nation" production, but pauses long enough to. There is no question that it is a wonderful production, that many, and that there is much in the play to approve and commend, but if the author's studied purpose was to create a black bitter prejudice which grew out of the war, he can be said to have colored it, and it would be passing strange if the colored people did not protest against certain shocking features of the drama and them and that it would be unjustified. We had something similar to say in a previous issue, and deploring the fact that the ugly scenes had been introduced in the production. The rape scene is most revolting, showing flendishness almost as a fine art. It is safe to say that nothing so malignant, or demonish has ever occurred in the history of the race. We may just as well speak the whole truth in such matters, trusting it to the better influences to make whole a broken situation if it gets to such a point. The raping scene is picturesquely imaginative even if revolting to the spirit, to the spirit of all men. Yet had it been one of those so-called classics where the male chases the female in much the same manner it would have been labeled "the spirit of the chase," or something similar. Had it been between two persons of the same race would have possessed with comfort every thing things do every day. It would have been a flendish thing in any event, but because of the opposite race, the very thought is repulsive. From a race viewpoint this is wrong, because it presents a race individual in a bad light, picturing him faithfully to the meanest thinkable relation that could come about, and most malignant in that relation—the cruel pursuit, thus making for added hate, and which is needless. Everything else being equal, we would have no moral right nor good grounds for protesting the presentation of this scene. Assault is assault regardless of the form; and we cannot get away from the fact that we are no freer of the charge than other peoples. But everything is not equal. We are in a struggle to exist because of race, color and so forth. So when we protest, it is solely on the grounds that such presentations tend to make us feel like we are author and playwright for no other reason would have moral right or grounds to eliminate deeds done by our race, or to reduce them. Mr. Debs calls attention to the fact that the pictures show nothing of the condition in the South before the war, with its entail of mulattoes. Some of our own people also seize the assertion as they would a battle flag and plunge to the attack. The whole business is not so creditable for public print and we have made it a point never to refer to it. For two reasons we have stayed out of the mulatto discussion; because delicate, offensive; because we would be a very sorry man, and because we were not for that redeeming feature. For the once, and most truly the white man builted better than he knew. The wild strain in us has been as providential as if God Himself sent it. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Some do not like that kind of an argument, so we have had nothing to say. But the truth is, that preference in our own race, not to speak of the white race, is based on the irregularity of the stock. 80 Mr. Delbour any one else need not take credit to themselves for their discovery. The white man's contribution to our blood was the greatest bequeathment to the race, owing to American ideals, associations and relationships as we find them existing.

Walter P. DIFFERENT EDUCATIONS. Major Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, seems to be particularly proud of his African descent. His success assures the fact the success of the race individuals is not wholly due to the Caucasian blood in them. However, the Africans have long since demonstrated their susceptibility and capacity for higher education. At this time, in this city, Indianapolis, is an African boy who attends Butler college. His English is so poor that he can only be understood with difficulty. One would think, owing to his faltering speech, that he was out of his element in that classic school. On being asked what was his specialty, his astounding reply was, that it was mathematics. This boy, by the way, is selling the "Life of Booker T. Washington" to help him through college. The African Negroes, when educated, have what may be called huge educations—in the big. They don't seem to have that friable kind which is known to Negroes of this country, or white people generally when educated. This, perhaps, is due to the Africans rapid transit to Cambridge and Oxford and back again—steeped in lore—books, merely books—without the "atmosphere" of those places. Thus their writings and speeches are particularly heavy, scarcely without a ray of light penetrating, seeming to think it a cardinal sin to appear witty or humorous. This has nothing to do with their capacity or acquirements. They are like reservoirs, retaining the best that has been taught in the schools, and which shows all through their life. Our probationary period of something like two hundred years, has knaked us, as it were, to the right consistency, at least as we view it. The education of America is the world's standard. Not always so deep or generally so profound as that of Europe, but quite as efficient for purposes, and a great deal more manageable. The Negroes of America have an education in kind and which actually sparkles against the seemingly dull mentality of the world kind of their brethren. We think of an Englishman being dull and slow of comprehension. The Africans are like them, but slower still. This has not in mind the lack of education, for the educated Africans are classically learned, more so than American Negroes. There is nothing of the intellectual mountbank or charlatanry that we know so much about, as yet. They are genuine in whatever their pretensions, bidding fair to be a nation of mighty men, and will be unless the greed of ambitious countries do not paralyze their souls. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, THE RACE FOREMEST CHARAC- By. Dr. Pedro W. Santos. To the world he is dead but eternally he lives. The gladness which hung in his heart often is marred when we become aware of the fickleness of human sentiment. times we are and pillowed with what seem to be a careless carressed with a mild breeze indened with mighty echoes from the musical praises and enshrined our names, beautiful encomions and praises glowing in candor and resplendent fame. We have seen his fickleness either induced by jealously, envy or peridious hate, we have seen his fickleness either held spellbound by disappointment and great unrest concerning the glory and the sentiment of man: but Booker T. Washington's fame, glory and the sentiment of man: as long as man himself. He made his place in history, made a very unique supremely above all the world's men, with his care and his government's barriers to be done away with, so as to be able to accustom recognition, re-reflect and learn. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest exponent of American progress, graduated from the greatest character. American life, today, accorded him recognition and distinction. He was the first man, who received the highest honor notified of Dr. Washington's death, raised his mighty and eloquent voice to herald to the world his tribute to her husband, Washington's sorrow and words of condolence to the bereaved Washington family. Dr. Washington is dead, but yet he embarked on a new mission, the symbols of this world's administration should be his. He must be embalmed in song, is eternally recorded in the music of his race, is buried in bronze, should be sculptured in marble, has bee painted in precious canvas, enshrined in the hearts of the people, has race records forever in memorials, marking The American Negro and Colored Educational Institutions should pause their patriotism, race pride and human sympathy, associate their feelings with their patriotism, race pride and respect and solleness thus brought about allow America and the world at large at a glance of the aspect of the race in the mourning the death of one of the great patriots of the family is bereaved but the race is more so. The hearts of the members of the family lips silenced with intense sadness, but the race should feel greatly ladened with a greater degree of sadness, and now and caused to ponder silently and reverently over the fact that by the race has sustained an irreparable loss.

AGENTS WANTED Quick money selling best Negro proposition. Tallahassee town lots in the city. Grandfather law. Tallahassee Investment Co., Muskuskee, Okla. Travelogue! Travelogue! That was the word which had been circulating since Madame C. J. Walker, the well known hair cultist, returned not long since from her trip to California. Many of our people have gone to that state and returned, but a very few traveled along by slow stages, noting everything enroute as she did. The madame not only visited the many points of great interest, she secured photographs of them and had them made into slides, and many of them were drawn on the screen to the great delight of the many persons who had learned of the woman and her trip. It is but justice to the madame to say that her entertainment was clearly out of the ordinary, everything having the Madame Walker touch, and which is always unusual and particularly entertaining. The main events were interspersed by an extremely rare musical and literary program. It was a rare treat to see and hear Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, the mother of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the world famed poet. This dear old lady was introduced by Dr. Joseph H. Ward, who knew her well, and who had associated with her distinguished son. The introduction was touching and fitting, and such as could only come from one who knew both of them. She is the "Malina" of which the poet so metathetically sang. Not one of that great audience was prepared for the treat in store for them when, after a brief mention of her son, Mrs. Dunbar recited his "The Negro Soldiers." This was a most pleasing rendition, and would have been so even had she not been the poet's mother. The fact heightened the interest in her, and that great sympathetic audience eagerly drank in her last word. This glorious old woman read gloriously, giving emphasis to the thing of heredity. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was great because of his mother, and as it were with many great men. Lois Depp, the baritone, of Springfield, O. was heard to most excellent advantage in spite of the fact that he was practically pulled from his sick bed. This boy, only eighteen, a Caru so in the making, sang as it is rarely given men to sing. The audience was spellbound by his renditions, his fine conception, his sublime voice, his interpretation of master and muse. Depp is eloquent, Depp is divine. "Hegar" was also a splendid reading by Miss Edith Thomas. She was fully in accord with the fine presentations of the evening. All of these persons were rapturously received, and as they so well merited. It is now the moment of the travelogue when the distinguished traveler will rehearse in pictures the story of her travels. The madame took her place on the great rostrum, and in a fitting introduction opened her part of the program. The travel began the first of July, and the first point was St. Louis. Then followed Denver, her former home. From here her tour practically began. Salt Lake City, in Utah, claimed her special attention; the great temple, the cathedral and its wonderful organ. The Yellowstone Park, with its geysers and great natural wonders appealed to her, also the vast and profound canyons with their rocky cliffs and the tints of the rainbow. She was particularly impressed with the magnificent palms that she saw on her way and in the California cities, and the giant geraniums that entwined many of them to their very tops, making for a beauty indescribable. Among the pictures shown on the screen were: Pike's Peak, Palmer's Lake, Colorado Springs, the geysers, the royal Gorge, Collegiate Range, Mt. of the Holy Cross, canyons, Ananias' cave, Minerva Terrace, Jupiter Terrace, Paint Pots, Morning Glory Geyser, palm drives, giant cactus, peep trees, Old Mission bells, Tent City at Coronado, Old Cave La Jolla, San Ugo, U. S. Grant, Jr.'s home, glass bobblehead soils, Tall fale diaries, Japanese bungalow, high school and stadium, Tacoma, Wash. Mt. Ranier, Wash., Chimes University, Seattle, Wash., the Devil's Teapot, Butte, Mont. Many more places were shown nearly all being accompanied by interesting仕腊. At the close of the splendid program which followed the travelogue, Madame Walker was introduced by Dr. Ward as America's foremost colored business woman. She responded in a splendid speech which at once set at rest questions about her ability and attainments. She told of her career, her struggle from the depths to the exalted position where she now stands, a race example and inspiration to the drooping hopes of her kind. Let the race realize the sorrow emposed upon it by the death of its foremost champion. In the temperamental weep, the temperamental shudder, the antere ones overwhelmed by sorrow and grief revere his memory with millions of others irrespective of race, with realism and realism. Let the race pause a moment in its hour of keen bereavement and realize that it can find consolation upon the death of a man, which is gotten from Dr. Washington's life is alluring enough to the best type of men and women of the race who are in need of characters into public life and various fields of endeavor whose achievements may favorably compare with those of the greatest expenent of Negro possibilities. Let the race, with pride, wrap itself in the glory of God, its future with the beauty of his life so that for ages to come the race may be the greatest gift he can lize that he was a great gift to the American Commonwealth and God's contribution to the affairs of mankind.

She proved the ability to shine as a platform speaker with her fine well modulated voice with its splendid carrying qualities. Then her language was choice, leaving nothing wanting for a most eventful career should her lines be cast in that direction. She was unmistakably appreciated, creating an impression that will never down in the hearts and minds of those who heard her. GIVES RECEPTION TO HER GUESTS. As a fitting conclusion of the very successful travelogue Madame Walker gave a reception at her splendid home to her guests who came to the city especially to be present at her entertainment. Rev. Dr. C. H. Parrish, of Louisville, Ky., one of the leading churchmen of the race, present moderator of the Baptist convention of Kentucky, and former president of Eckstein Normal Industrial School of Cane Springs, Ky., and a member of the board of trustees of the new Lincoln school of that state, was one of the guests. Mrs. Lavina Sneed, a well known educator of Louisville, Ky., was also a guest. Mrs. Sneed will be remembered for her long and efficient service in the public schools of Indianapolis, where she rose to the position of training teacher for young teachers. As a race woman she is of distinction, a forceful, thoughtful, eloquent platform speaker. Mr. Depp, the baritone, and Mrs. Matilda Dunbar and Miss Meta Murphy, Mrs. Dunbar's granddaughter, were the other guests of honor. Others who sat down at the tables were: Mr. E. K. Jones, of New York, representing the society for the advancement of the colored people; Rev. Morris Lewis, presiding elder in the courtroom; Dr. D. P. Doevers and wife; Undertaker C. M. C. Willis and wife; Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Hodge, Dr. Joseph H. Ward and wife, Editor Gurley Brewer and wife, Mrs. F. B. Ransom, Mrs. A. P. Kelly and Wm. M. Lewis, editor of The Freeman. The scene will not be forgotten by those present, owing to the interesting talks that sped around. Mr. Jones was fresh from the vicinity of DuBois, and who gave some interesting glimpses of him as it relates to his latter day public efforts. Dr. Booker T. Washington came in for unanimous praise; his life and work was touched on in that close and personal way that can only come through the rapid firing conversation. The talks were earnest, honest and careful, all agreeing that they had actually benefitted by the informal "conference." The table was resplendent in silver and fine linen. The service was the madame's well known sterling silver courure, and which was wholly silver excepcing, the cut glass tumblers, great plates, little plate embossed with her initial and as a whole presenting a thing more like enchantment than the stubborn existence of things. If the knives were not all silver they were yet better; they were pearl and silver. The Menu. It will be difficult to give a suitable word of description of the menu. Perhaps no more appetizing repast has been set among our people in this city, perhaps any people. It was: (Grape fruit, embellished; fish (name unspeakable, hence forgotten); turkey accompanied by escalloped oysters; small pickles, mushrooms, celery, peas in green peppers and hot rolls; fruit salad—halved California grapes and the rest of it; salted wafers; whipped cream floating fresh strawberries with unplucked stems, with angel food cake, the piece-de-resistance: black coffee; Rumford cheese, Johnbury crackers, Special waiter service. Mrs. John Black, cateres. when again in the splendid drawing rooms, Mr. Depp and Miss Sissel entertained with solos. Short talks were made by Rev. Dr. Parrish, Dr. Ward, Rev. Dr. Roberts, Mrs. Sneed, Editor Lewis, Mrs. Dunbar and Madame Walker. They touched mostly on the life of the wonderful woman, the speakers confessing themselves as Sheba's queen when she visited Solomon and madame responded with that grace and dignity, yet modestly, that have characterized her well known in this city. She thanked all for the interest shown for her and the fine praise of her. The time was from 5 o'clock p. m. until 10:45. Guests who lived far away were sent home in her automobile. BY WILL M.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Battling Jack Russell of Montgomery defended Kilda in rounds at Army hall Friday night, January 14. Russell had his man at all times from gong to goong.

I will say that Russell has impulse and has developed a much THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER harder punch. When Russell started his wonderful rope stunts and his brilliant hand grip, he at all times trying to keep his eyes on him. Now Russell sure knows how to keep sleep and when to hit and when to duck and he can sure hit hard with hard hand. When Russell went under the ropes in the backyard, he said "That kid is too small to fight that large man." But Russell surpressed him. He carried the honor of Georgia back on his knees and also the bacon. Monday had no chance at all with the little champion. He was the part of the ring Russell was in.

The bout was fast and heasted in the Nelson eyes eye was laid open in the beach round, and the club physician advised the referee to stop the fight. NEW YORK—The proposed ten-round bout became the Nelson's heavyweight champion, and Frank Moran, which it was expected would take place in this city some time later, would be postponed until Memorial day it was posted last night. This step has become necessary, it is said, because Willard has informed the promoters of Moore's heavyweight fight in March. If a later date is selected the bout will be staged in the open. THAT WILLS-LANGFORD BOUT. NEW YORK—A score or so of ambitious pugilistic managers sat around the Club not long since casting ethereal glances towards one of the corners in which sat James Buckley, of New York.

COLUMBUS, GA—Battling Jack Russell, of Montgomery, Ala., carried away the bones of Georgia Friday night, after a fight with a dog on Monday, of Columbus, Ga., in eight rounds. Russell made himself a favorite in Columbus by defeating Monday. Russell had his man at all times from the start, and the day tried to cover up or sidestep the blows that Russel was pouring on him to save him from a knockout. Russell was able to save him, but had his man dizzy trying to keep eyes on him. Russell is sure a real champ and I would like for some fighter to write or wire to meet Russell in a finish.
