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 The meeting was held in the name of the 19,000,000 Negroes under the Stars and Stripes, the local arrangements being in the hands of a citizen's committee, headed by Henry Lassiter in chairman, R. W. Thompson as secretary, and Daniel Freeman as treasurer. For more than two hours, with the rapt attention of the immense crowd, speakers of national fame exalted the virtues of the Negro's greatest educator and leader, and commended in unstinted terms of the work which he set in motion and carried on with such signal benefit, not only to the people of his own race, but for the good of the nation, and for the general uplift of mankind. All agreed that Booker T. Washington had practically revolutionized educational standards by his aggressive insistence that it is what a man does rather than what he knows that weighs most heavily in the scale of human advancement. It was the consensus of opinion that the work of industrial training and character building for the Negro youth, launched at Tuskegee Institute, in the South's black belt, "more than three decades ago, must go on, and that its permanency must be secured by the active efforts of the American people to raise in endowment fund to guarantee the legitimate running expenses of the race's greatest civic center. 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. I wish that every Negro in the United States—for that matter, I wish every white man in the United States—that there were no innumerable, or any one of the things the world wants done. For the benefit of those of the wonderful community, the waste of the heart of the Southland is told in graphic language of the broad scope of the training of the black people. The work of the other, and how efficiently the correlation of academic, manual and moral elements of the school is being carried. The work of the black people is the subject of the common good. He pointed out a number of the splendid buildings that had been planned by a Negro architect and the work of the black people. The work of the splendid Tompkins Hall, where 1,600 or more persons are accommodated at the time at the meal hour, and the work of the black people is the subject of the kind of instruction the colored boys are learning. This latter structure, said Mr. Low, is a concrete example of the kind of instruction the colored boys are learning. The work of the school is, however, not as simple as the work of the industrial side of the school. The boys cut down the trees in the field, and they were not allowed to eat. The mill, but out their own timber; they made the bricks and put up the building, doing all of the brickwork, all of the plumbing, installed the electric lights; they roofed it, and when it was done, they were as complete a hospital as you would have done in the United States. The bricks are, however, there are hospitals larger, but these better. The branches of industry taught at Tuskegee are too numerous, and they are not very important. The work of the daily life of a people, and the business of the Negro youth to which they the world wants done, and to them in the best possible manner, 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."

Special to The Freeman: NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 17.—2,000 people paid tribute to Sam Lucas, the noted Negro actor who won fame as "Uncle Tom," last Friday at the funeral, which was held at Mother Zion A.M.E. church. The hour of the funeral was scheduled for 10 o'clock, but long before that hour a stream of men and women prominent in all walks of life who remembered the great action of the New Year, and being joy and sunshine to their hearts wended their way to the church. So large was the gathering that many were turned away. Well known members of the theatrical profession participated in the services, and paid their last tribute to "Dad" Lucas, as he was affectionately called by virtue of his seniority. The floral tribute was magnificently, and represented various organizations as a part of the service. A feature of the service was the military escort by the G. A. R., of which Mr. Lucas fought in the Civil War. At the funeral touching incidents in the life of the actor were brought out by speakers who have followed the career of the great actor for years. Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mount Zion church of which Lucas was a member, presided at the funeral. Dr. Brown in a brief eulogy told of incidents describing the both events. He said Mr. Lucas became a member of the church October 17 of last year and was a devout worshipper since. Favorite hymns of the deceased, among the "Lead Kindly Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee," were sung by Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review and nephew of the actor, delivered the first eulogy. Dr. Ransom threw many interesting sidelights on his life, including an optimistic side of the deceased, and said that his whole life consisted in making others happy. Dr. Ransom told of the visit of the deceased to his home last summer, and he brought his funeral. Dr. Ransom said that the latter days of the actor were quietly spent, and that he believed his conversion resulted in a change in his character. Ransom told of the fame he won as "Uncle Tom" and said that the present film in which "Uncle Tom" is shown was the first film in which a tribute was paid by Gustav Frohman, one of the noted figures in the theatrical life of America, and who discovered Mr. Lucas way back in 1873 and him his first opportunity on the stage. 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. He told of the organization which Lucas played the role of Uncle Tom and that ever since he had become as that character. He told how Mr. Lucas got the company out of town and that it was stranded by pleading his diamonds. A solo was sung by Arthur Payne, a member of The Clerk Club. Resolution expressed the admiration of the theatrical professions was read by Miss Maud Jones, a member of the Williams and Walker company, among the many organizations, among them the C. A. B, the Clerk Club and Europe's Orchestra, took part in the service. It took over the vast throng to review the remains. He was buried from Cypress Hill cemetery by a military escort. Mr. Lucas, who was a senior actor of the past generation, died last Monday at the age of 80 at the home of his daughter, Marle Lucas, 59 West 139th street. Miss Lucas gave "Together with his daughter he leaves a brother in St. Louis. Mr. Lucas was born in Washington county. He was the famous Havenley Minstrels. He began his career at the age of 20 with "Darkest America." In 1877 he won distinction as Uncle Tom. He was the greatest actor to play that role. In his career he played before Queen Victoria. Mrs. Lotta Williams Affected at Death of Lucas. Among the prominent theatrical members of this city affected at the death of Samantha Cox, a friend with Mr. Williams contributed a floral wreath. Williams was prevented from attending due to illness.

Prominent members of the connection from various points in New York state were present and pledged themselves to begin a campaign that will awaken a new interest in the work of the church and the race. Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, president of the Ministers' Conference, was present and presided. Prominent among the visitors were Presiding Elder L. G. Mason and Dr. J. E. Mason, for twenty years financial secretary of Livingstone college and one of the most prominent members of the connection. The chief discussion at the meeting concerning itself with plans that will assist in providing for the welfare of the worn out ministers of the conference who in the old days are compelled in many cases to depend upon charity. The advisability of making the Harlett Tubman Home in Auburn as a home which would serve as fitting place for the aged ministers met the approval of the members of the conference. Together with making this a home for the aged, the movement would also assist in perpetuating the memory of Harriett Tubman, the great heroine of the race who was a member of the Zion church. Professor J. E. Mason, of Livingstone College who is doing much to assist in planning a memorial to Harriett Tubman, told of the necessity of making provisions for the ministers of the connection who wear themselves out in the service of the church. He told of the movement to save the Harriett Tubman Home and said that the New York Conference should get him to the place for the aged ministers of the conference. Dr. Mason described its location as a healthy one. He said that the proposition ought to appeal to Zion men because Mrs. Tubman was a member of the Zion church. As the result of the address of Dr. Mason, the men agreed upon this as a tangible movement. A committee of five, consisting of Revs. B. W. Judd, L. G. Mason, M. O. Haynes and F. W. Cruse were appointed as a committee to further investigate the Tubman Home. There were addresses on other vital phases of the church work by Revs. M. O. Hayes, F. M. Jacobs, W. L. Lee, J. W. Brown, Rev. Grayson, and others. 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.)

THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ternal and Secret Society Organizations, to join us in the effort we are making to meet the just expectation of those who are unable to attend please, through this movement, to show their own interest in perpetuating Dr. Washington's monument by the preservation of their appreciation to show their appreciation of his labors so unselfishly rendered in their behalf. It is hoped that the officers of these organizations in helping us to arouse and keep alive interest in this movement by direct appeals to their members, to both public and private, are also invited to share the labors of this effort. To that end they are requested not only to work up information to take a collection from among the children of the various schools throughout the country on April 5, 1916, to that day, March 12, 1916, be set aside as a special day upon which to raise a collection in all the Colored churches and throughout the country toward this Fund. In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum, the institute may be thetees of the Institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected be sent directly to the Institute to the order of Tuskegee Institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee Institute. Ala-cha-ma to the order of the undersigned. It shall be our purpose to send to all of the students of the Institute to give Five ($5.00) Dollars, or more, a certificate to be framed, showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the building, a picture of the statue of Tompkins Memorial Hall, the largest building on the Institute grounds. Independence is invited from all who are interested in this movement and the assurance is given that if the Colored people themselves give $250,000 will be met more than dollar for dollar by contributions from white people the Colored people of the United States. The Trustees have decided that out of the money given by the Colored people, they will provide the institute grounds a permanent Memorial to Dr. Washington's unselfish and useful life to take the form of a building that will be a memorial to other character. The Colored people will thus have the opportunity not only of contributing to the Fund itself, but also of contributing to the institute shall stand on the Institute grounds as "a memorial of Dr. Washington's salute of his self-forgetfulness, and of his patriotic service to the Colored people, and to the people of the United States" (Signed) EMMETT J.

FREEMAN CHARLES STEWART 'TELLS PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE WELL. MERIDIAN, Miss.—“It is possible to check the alarming death rate among Negroes in this country,” declared Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., of Chicago in addressing the colored women of the city last Monday at St. James' A.M. E. church; “and the Negro must do it himself by getting the right conception of life and teaching his children how to care for their bodies as well as their minds.” Mr. Stewart came to this city at the invitation of the Negro Boys and Girls' Improvement Association, for the purpose of delivering a Sunday afternoon address, and in addition he delivered a sermon Sunday night at the Union Baptist church. On Monday afternoon he spoke to colored women and girls only at the A. M. E. church. During his stay in the city he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wesley Smith. St. James' church was filled with women and school girls Monday afternoon. Dr. Stewart based his remarks on the declaration made by the prophet Hosek. Mr. People, and destroyed for "Every boy and girl has a right to be born well; hence our young men should take care of themselves—care no man can gad around" the streets all night and work all day, nor can a man make much progress by spending time revealing in licentiousness or in bliss that he should live right, as well as the girls. There must be but one standard of morality. "You must appeal to the white people for protection; ask them to help close up the dives that are destroying our young people. Sin, disease and death were never known; draw the people to help you help to prolong life of all the people." Monday night Dr. Stewart delivered a popular lecture to a mixed audience of young people, "Uncle Ned and His Son." The speaker referred to some of the opportunities which had slipped out of the youth, and not grasped the lesson of industry, honesty, reliability and thrift. "There was a time when all the hairdressers in the city had "but that is slipping out of his hands. Negroes are porters on the railroads. They are the workers in the cities and render efficient service. The servant girl must take a higher stand, be more assertive, and must trained service." Rev. J. T. Davis also made a short address.

In a future report it is hoped to speak more in detail of the eloquent tributes that fell from the inspired lips of these eminent men and women. The report of the committee Day 4. 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.

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.

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. Some men have said that God always has to be the man who leads to make the place of them, and he is not to be the man who has to be the man. To fill a man's place is an easy task, but, as able, he will not find it available, and being about the results, exert the same influence, and be able to master the situation and to provide the right to be the man. We have the right to be the man usually less than from the blood. In the world is a problem, and always has been a phenomenal one. This problem is a problem of the whole world, and we have the interest of Tuskegee an institute at heart, and we must hope that the best thing is to be the man. We have the best, such gigantic tasks to attempt to fill Booker T. Washington's place. We must be aware of the fact that Dr. Washington's place is the most important place for the character and history very unique in his character and most majestic life. It is an individual person who has an original conception. As Mr. Newman says, "Great men appear in groups, and groups the seen and so on from the shifting scenes of the world, but we do not love or hate men in groups. We speak of the other people and fundators of Lincoln's building and his generals of Lincoln and his cabinet, but when the day of judgment comes we crown the invention of the building. We are the surest one on the brow of the father of his country, the chaplet of reenown upon the state of the previous of the great republic, but first and above all them, on a pedestal of heights subliming and august contour, bedecked with a very humorous because he would place the monument of Booker T. Washington, the greatest man of his life and of the noblest citizens. MME. C. J.

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.

Life is a flame that blazes with the and dies as the sun goes down; Love wakes with a start, and, on its part, the world seems large and big.

THE 81 THEATER Atlanta, Ga. Charles P. Balley, owner; F. F. Fuller, house manager; Miss Irene Sterling, Lynn Daniels, stage director; Edward Lankford, chorus director; S. A. (Buddle) assistant still continues to pack the house daily and night. On first show starts promptly a book on the house. Mr. Edward Lankford is using his great musical opening, "Cabaret De La Lola Jones is singing" a Little Love From You," and she is sure putting it together, "Nobody Cares for Me," as only Fred can. Clarence Green, the silver-voiced boy from Topeka, is singing Mett has made quite a hit with the people of Atlanta. Lizzie Thompson, the mett has made quite a hit with the "Yellow Dog Hag"—some hit Frank DelYons, that grand old man is doing the cabaret manager, and his mett has made quite a hit with the "Yellow Dog Hag"—some hit Frank has had the experience. Edward Lankford as the policeman was quite at home, as he was a sure-fire force. Lily Flossie Cross and little Edna Young were waitresses and their mett was easily the fashion-plate of the cabaret, and his artistic dancing was a feature. Clalborn Jones and his mett were fun, and they brought on many funny situations; but then, they are both noted for being two or three on the piano player brought forth notes like no one can, and she was really the first to Emmett Anthony, the comedian and yodeler, who made quite a hit, and his yodeling was simply great. He tried the three-aact drama, "The Wayward Son," written and produced by Buddie Austin. Lena Wilson as the villainess, and she was quite emotional. Birdie Gypson as the wayward son's sister, drew much applause. She has made a movie a favorite here as a dramatic artist. Maggie Austine, as the blind sister, had the sympathy of the audience from behind her, and had the character, which, by the way, is not an easy part. George Stampers, as the wronged husband, put his son and bod in this act and had much to do with its success. Buddie Austin, as the wayward son, did the wayward son could do. Dinah Scott very ably handled the funny part of the drama and came in for a large part of the applause. He was the witning ways, was the one big hit of the cabaret act. We are sorry to know that Mr. John Wendell trioilquist, is quite sick. He has been unconscious for several days. Although not working for Mr. Malley, the gentleman, Mr. Wendell the writer in town, paid for the medicine and sent coal to keep Johnny warm and comfortable. So you see, he gets around it, he is the colored performer's friend. If in doubt come this way and see. Mr. Ed Butler has charge of the orchestra, he gets around it. Music.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER By Sylvester Russell Musical and Dramatic Criticism Prose Poems and Current Literature Score Heavily at the Grand—Al Wholeman Makes a Hit—Smart Set to Return February 7. As was expected, the Six Musical Spillers write for the New York can Cafe, down in the loop, scored heavily at the Grand last Monday evening with a saxophone, xylophone, horn and saxophone, which horn and mono overture, which was quite a feature, except that William Spiller resumes with the New York six syllables almost to syncopation. The New York tango blues, the tango, West Virginia dance and Spiller's voiceless voiceless applause, "Il Trovatore" in ragtime was relished by the noisy few, but we would rather have heard the The white acts were: Al Wohlman, a ragtime singer with a paltry voice, with a good pianist to aid his vibration, made his first appearance and was a decided success. As an entertainer he is sometimes an artist, but often a smooth fakir in depicting dark-key lore in ragtime, but his dancing steps were realistic. While he is not a total artist such as Gene Greene, he has a clever literature, which he has songs a big hit. The collectorship story of a dying Jew's counsel to his son and the medley of songs in a card story were convincing, but the patriotic song made a bigger hit with colored people than it deserved and went stronger than it would with foreigners in consideration of prejudice and the outlook of war in America. The Australian Waites, whip snappers and lasso heavens, one a very supple man, scored big. Bayne, Condon & Co., in "Neutrals," was an entertaining sketch old woman library, with an incomplete ending. Fred and Eva Hurley were fair in character singing and a little talk. The last half of last week held over the "Holiday in Dixie" act, which featured the character Morse, who made a hit at this house some time ago, was a prime card. The Eight Namba Japs were skillful tumult in the setting. Delphino & Delmora were entertaining musical artists, and Marion Willard, who had an engagement in the show, were setting. The Smart Set Company is to play a return date by public request beginning Monday, January 7. Further annotations will be given out next week.

Current Literature Sarah Green Byrd, prima donna soprano, formerly with Black Patti and Ernest Hogan companies, made a big impact on video advertising engagements, playing returns everywhere. Clarence Bowen, the little Black Caruso of Brooks & Bowen, who was at the Palace theater last week, would not behave: out in the open air till he closed up. He did not chime. He had to hire a specialist. He's all right now. S. W. Winfrey informs me that his new automobile is not a touring car, but a motorcycle. Panama.

A. Smythe, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, who is very ill, is reported to be resting easy at his residence, and I have been port that he was dead created a great sensation last week, and many letters of condolence were sent to the house, which showed appreciation of his humble mourning. Rev. J. B. Massiah of St. Thomas Episcopal church, who died of pneumonia last Monday, was buried in Detroit, Mich. When I caught the rumor that Mr. and Mrs. Elwood C. Knox were in the city; that Mr. Knox was visiting his sister-in-law, who was ill, and Mrs. Knox was visiting his indisposed at Provident hospital, I called up the hospital Sunday and a nurse informed me that young Thompson had recovered and was getting ready to go home. Jerome & Lewis have returned the funerals of their mothers and opened at Racine, Wis., last Thursday. They are booked for the Grand next January at Jan. 31.

Rivers, Alice Moore and Sallie Lee Dunn, Ollie Perp violinist; Geo Brown, pianist, and Raymond Greene drums. --- Sam Lucas, whose death was recorded last week, had so much history that other writers, like myself, partly overrode his ability to press. As the oldest actor, Mr. Lucas was called the "Dean" of the colored profession. He was once a captain of the Civil war. It is stated by good authority that he was the first actor who conceived the idea of a creole company, the original creole company. When a boy he was a barber by trade. Many people are mistaken Mr. Lucas was the first actor to give civil war. It had given him advanced schooling. Before Billy King left for New York, he gave up his job and Sam Lucas upon his arrival, and he did so. Two months and two days before his death I received a splendid letter from Lucas to tell me the last portion of his followings: "As to my physical condition, it is not of the best. I have been in the army for a long time, never discouraged, and am at peace with the world and the Omnipotent One. My 75 years hang lightly on me, and I am very proud of my kindest regards to all friends. God bless you are too numerous to count. God bless you, dear friend, and extend your blessings to the war and stage veteran of intelligence and ideas. Mr. Lucas was taken ill at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Walker fame). He was sent from there to the Harlem hospital by his request, and after remaining one year, he was sent to the home of his daughter, Miss Marie Lucas, to die. Besides being a high Mason, he was a member of the Knights of the C. V. B. A. the "Frogs", Cef Club, Tempo Club, and a member of the Association, the funeral of Mr. Lucas, to be placed at Mother Zion church in New York, will probably appear in the next issue. Mexico!

Rev. R. H. Hill's Good Record With Small Membership George Inion and Rev. J. Cutecheon Address Parent-Teachers Association. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Phar Lexington, Ky.) Special to The Freeman. We have read with care a pamphlet sent out by Prof. E. Reed, principal of the Boeing Group, and the State of the Kentucky Negro State Teachers Association. This pamphlet gives reason for the establishment of a western state normal and industrial institute for legends of the first thing for the Negro population west of Louisville and cities: Bowling Green, 2,486; Earlington, 1,393; Henderson, 3,916; Hopkinsville, 4,187; Madisonville, 1,323; Macau, 1,323; Pancock, 1,133; Paducal, 6,047; Princeton, 1,003; Russellville, 1,031. Out of fifteen counties the Negro population in western Kentucky is 165,517. Farms are owned by the State of the Boeing Group, and the western Kentucky of Regnoles, 11, state normal and industrial schools are not a group of the western Kentucky with a Negro population of 96,139. Farm land controlled by Negroes, 154,777 acres. High schools in eastern Kentucky for Negroes, 15, the state normal and industrial schools are not a group of the western State normal school, of which $50,000 is to be appropriated, itemized as follows: $10,000 for a recitation has been made, $10,000 for a dormitory, $10,000 annually for current expenses and maintenance, $10,000 for current expense. This bill asks for a state board of regents, similar to that of the Ohio state, and we are glad to see this bill for the citizens. of Kentucky who are looking forward to the uplift of our people as a masses. It seems that western Kentucky is the most neglected region, neglected, from an educational standpoint. The legislature has been very generous toward eastern Kentucky; to the extent that they will be just as generous as the previous legislatures have been to western Kentucky, and it should be the duty of every Kentucky, and it should get in communication with their senator and representative, to vote for a establish a western Kentucky Normal school, to stamp out the bulk of illiteracy yin the western part of the state. Was Held at Mrs. J. M. McLennan's. At last! Some one has made the start. Mrs. J. M. McLennan at her residence on North Upper street, has written a book for the appreciation of Negro Literature that has long been needed in Lexington. The average Negro knows something of Hon. Fred Douglas, the schoolmaster of the Negro school. L. Dunbar, and after these and a few Negro bishops they know scarcely little about the history of the Negro in the more modern African society developed from this literary circle of various authors. There is not a city in Kentucky its size that is more advanced than American citizens who are representative of various high schools and colleges, notwithstanding that many of its highest class are patrons and indorse Christian churches, this will help strengthen the bocker club. 10,000 "Dodgers"- Gem Moving Picture Theatre. Admittance 5 Carts. That's the stuff. There is no excuse now. Ten thousand "doggers" were printed announcing the plan and price of the movie, and he meant the Gem. It is only colored theatre in the city. It is equipped with modern projection, police service and a welcome to all. Believing that this polischer meet with the hearty approval of mankind was worth paying us an early visit. We like to hear something of the pessimistic scourge of the best king of the crown of Old Crow theatre. Some of our young men take their best girl. It is a sad and lamentable state. The question they establish? Some say they passed through high school and college. Perhaps is a short visit and exit. Prof. G. W. Saffoll, Jr., principal of the Shelbyville High School and a stalwart groe state banquet in honor of Lincoln's birthday. There is a similar banquet given each year among the white people. Saffoll suggests that this function be given in Louisville, and each person gives $1 per plate, so he hope that every person will be present it convention to be present. This would be a fine place for the Negroes the state to indorse a delegate-satirist, Editor Phil H. Brown seems to be the choice. Force Members raised $1,485 in one Year in Liberty Baptist Church. Rev. R. H. Hill, former pastor of the Rockwood, Tenn. first Baptist church, and the present pastor of Liberty Rev. Hill, has a corps of busy energetic members with the smallest numbers. They show through their action that they are doing just as much in proportion to their membership. This is a remark- record for forty members, raising $1,485 in Baptist church is to be congratulated. Home "Boy", Brin Franklin. Died in Co. L at Honolulu—10 Years A telegram from the War Department, Washington, D. C., stated that Mr. Jen Franklin, a member of the team, was a shock to Mr. Franklin's mother and sister and relatives. He had been in the service for 16 years and was with her every month. They are not at this writing decided whether the body will be brought to this city or not for burial. Social Calendar of the City for the Week Mrs. Martha Johnson has been sick but is able to be up.

Schooler, recognized as the best divorce attorney in the country, has been the founder of Ed Willis' daughter, a "calamityHOLE" of race pride spirit. It would be well for those Negroes who speak it up, but it would be that the senior editor, my good friend Willis, will patronize the grocer who is a member of the Booster Club, which meets in the courthouse. "The Booster Gets New Auto." Dr. J. E. Hunter, the first colored physician to practice in this city and who owns several cozy residences on North Upper street, has just purchased the company of the Negro Company of Ohio, a Negro company. It is hoped when our prominent ored people come to town, that they will give the Patterson Company a trial. It is just as good as the other fellows. George Washington and Rev. J. J McCathahan, on Program. The Purple Teachers' Association which met at Russell High School Friday afternoon was very nicely attended. The school is located in Main Street Baptist church, read an excellent paper which was full of wholesome advice. Mr. George Washburn was the teacher and whose place was conceded by Hon. Ralph Tley when at the helm of the national organization. Mr. Washburn was the most modern shop in Kentucky, gave some essential facts along the industrial lines and preacher to boost the commercial business among Negroes and to lay down his "hammer" and the more business he could do. He could be able to pay the preachers a salary. This would eliminate running races and receiving prizes in比赛. He gave an actual experience in business for ten years. Dr. J. C. Gill's statement: At the banquet I said I voted. At the banquet I voted. The judge to make. I do not know how the other gentlemen voted; I used my own judgment. Prof. G. R.

As soon as it was learned that this distinguished visitor was to visit our city, Deputy Grand Chancellor Wattys go Grand Chancellor to the local Kew Gardens and the Uniform Rank and began preparations for the entertainment of this honored guest. And it was proven without doubt that this event was then successful. Friday during the day the Brigadier General, his good wife and a small party of friends visited the land and the pier by J. W. Follins, who furnished automobiles for all, and after visiting several historical places on the Island the party was taken to the pier, where the table was very nicely decorated for the occasion, after which dinner was served which everybody greatly enjoyed and hoped to enjoy good brother will extend another invi- tall immediately on return of the party to Brunswick the Brigadier General J.C.O'BRIEN'S World-Famous GEORGIA MINSTRELS Two Band Leaders that play cornet in band and violin in orchestra.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. A Dream of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today. I had a dream: before me lay I held my gaze by unseen array. I held my gaze by unseen array. And moved my heart with deep remorse. Sweetness of flowers filled the room; My sight scarce pierced the pungent gloom. Yet there was the feeling, strangely queer, That laid upon lonely lady. Was one my heart had held most dear, A friend perhaps of yester-year; That laid upon my heart. These mordant promptings of regret, I nearer drew, intently gazed, Then started back—aghast—amazed, Then started back—aghast—amazed, I cried "Come back my yesterday!" And still I dreamed: before my eyes A spirit formed, to my surprise, It smiled and beckoned me to come. Then showed the way, I followed on. We passed through vistas wondrous and soon before my dazzled sight There stretched a land of beauty rare; And to my heart there spoke a voice, Behold the country of thy choice, And to my heart there spoke a voice, I looked, and the sprite was gone. The way grew dark, I lost the path. Came to my ears a taunting laugh, Seek ye Tomorrow? 'tis unborn. Then changed the dream: I saw a youth Whose face shone bright with Love and He came towards me, grasped my hand; My being thrilled, he gave command: Awake! Thy dreaming art past art; Too long thy work hast gone undone; Too long thy work hast gone undone; Know that tomorrows never come. Awake! resolve! go forth and do! The present now belongs to thee. Stand up! A mighty conqueror be!" It was wrong, and courage fired; It was impelled, assuaded, and Boldly asked: "Who art thou "Are You a BOOSTER or a Knockee? Classify yourself." Taken from a placard in a St. Louis trolley. Not many can be great, but there is greatness in many if united in mind and purpose. Jolly John Larkins is a conspicuous hit with the Midnight Maiden Burlesques. We visited the great comedian and the treatment accorded to him and he expressed himself as being entirely satisfied and delighted with his position and the treatment accorded to him. The managers of the company. Perhaps Mr. Larkins is the first recognized colored star to come before the public and uses the white song with the chorus girls working behind him. Managers and the public are recognizing the fact that effectiveness or efficiency, whether displayed by white or colored, Jew or gentile. Herbert Meadows, journalist and publicity Expert, visited the Smart Set Show at St. Louis. He pronounced Washington Bullion Abroad, a genuine hit. Chas. Turpin, the general manager of the greater Booker Washington Theater, and J. H. Jones, proprietor of the greater members of the Smart Set and the Perin & Crosby companies, a delightful banquet. The entertainment given was the Maxime entertainers was of the highest quality and enjoyed by all present. The one of one of the finest Colored theaters in America, but also one of the highly respected and progressive citizens of Los Angeles, the politician of strength and resourcefulness. ... The Russell-Owens Stock company, one of the most popular of its kind, is one of the world's leading pioneers in stock work and one of the foremost Colored playwrights producers. The Russell-Owens stock company made an onboard record through the company's good man down, after conversation with Bob, I look to see his name ahead of another company in the very very near future, bigger and better than you. --- Perrin and Crosby's Chocolate Bon Bons, a company of eleven high-class artists, are the attraction at the Booker Center, where they pose and send a song and dance review of the highest quality. Alex Williams is a first-class comedian. George Cooper is a well-known actress, hitting each time. Sid Perrin and Goldy Crosby are well-known artists and entertainers. Mr. Perrin is recognized as a great producer and songwriter. Little "Jeff" is inimitable in his comedy roles, he memorizes many memorable work are Lorrete Augustine, Marian Jefferys, Dixie Beasley, Beatrice White and Fred Hart. Ethel Williams, the big dancing with J. Lubbie Hill's Darktown Follies, is now a feature with the Lady Buccaneers Burlesquers. She is billed as the star of the billle dancer with a feature spot on the bill and does a truly wonderful dance. . . . should be grateful for just the privilege to live on the same continent with them, but happily, they are in the same city, but the theatrical morality of the theatre managers would be willing to give Colored performers many greater opportunities if we convince them by our behavior we conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. DOING IN WASHINGTON. D. C. The Five High-Browns are "top-lining," in fine style this week at the New York premiere of *The Girl with the Glad garments* attractively. Frank B. Williams is putting on a splendid singing and change act. Miss Susie Sutton surprised her local friends by kindly consenting to appear for the week at Dudley's. Her Italian impersonation is as natural as ever, with new lines fitted to a new look. She and her three friends, the three songs are handled with a vim that causes Miss Sutton's long list of admirers forget that it has been several seasons since she made her *Wash-Ung* and started a chain of anxious hearts that have been agog ever since when her appearance here is announced. Miss Sutton gave two pretty little dances that set the act off nicely. "Baby Jim," weighing 793 pounds, married and has three children, and this week she is the star of this week at Dudley's. *T* travels in a baggage Pullman and is moved about town on an automobile freight truck or sees the sights in a moving car. *E* Green, with a novel moving you, *E* Green, with a taking number at Dudley's. Miss Desdemona Barnett, the Mary cashier at Dudley's, is to visit New York City when the Cardinals meet the basket ball game, early in March. . . . Manager A. J. Thomas has the papers signed, sealed and delivered that gives him a long lease on Olympiaia Theater. On Broad street in Philadelphia, this house is a picture hall and has a capacity of over 4,000. The new stage and dressing rooms will make it one of the best-equipped houses controlled by our people in the country. It is a place for the actors weekly and will draw a class of people who have hitherto been unwilling to patronize the colored theaters in the Quaker City. The grand opening is to be signalized by a banquet, at the Friends Manager Thomas from Washington, New York and Baltimore will be in attendance. With the acquisition of the Olympia Theater in Philadelphia will come a slight change in the personnel of the local management of the Theater he has. J. Thomas goes to Philadelphia to direct the new enterprise in person, running down to look over things in this city on Sundays, as that is a "nothing doing" day in Quaker-Area. The small number will be in the brother in Philadelphia. Rufus G. Byars and Vincent B. Thomas will have full charge of the Howard and will continue the broad and liberal policy that has made this "playhouse beautiful" in most popular theater of the race. T. Spencer Finley, the statesman-comedian, after cleaning up at the Lincoln, New York City, is spending the week in town. The concert-recital by Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, of Chicago, will be one of the highlights of the new year. The affair will be given February 2, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church. An audience of 2,000 is expected. To set at rest all doubts, Mile. Fifty, the comedian, only rival to Eve, colored woman. BOSTON, MASS., THEATRICAL NOTES. While passing the Bowden Square Theater Thursday afternoon, January 12, seeing a colored act, billed as "the art of the race," I started and caught the act, and I must say that I enjoyed it, and from the laughter and applause they received, the whole audience enjoyed it. These two boys were very good to see the show. Their little sketch is called "Fun in a Chinese Laundry," and I must say it lived up to its title, for there was fun. When I was in a playground at the Swan-Cotton-Cotton Hall, I was on a uproar of laughter, for Billy Purcell, the comedian, is a funny one. He portrayed the character of a shiffless skier, who was so good to be a good-looking born comedian and a great dancer. His partner, Gua Stevens, played the part of One Lung, the Chinaman, so na- and na-man, a disdained man, and move was so perfect that few could detect that he wasn't a real Chinaman. Mr. Stevens appeared here at the Bowden Square, where he was a young man as female impersonator with his former partner, Charlie Williams, and their act made a great hit. In fact, Mr. Stevens is quite a favorite here in the show. It was a great time to be a host of friends and they wish him and his partner the best of success. Anderson and Gولا played Gorden's Omlapman, the work of the 10, 10 and went nicely. They have a great act. Coplean and Payton played the Scolar Square Theater the week of January 10th and the big show of January 10th was never. What Boston needs is a real colored theater like Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago, and then we would get them to have been missing from the Boston Stroller. TURO JULIAN COSTELLO, OF THE SMART SET COMPANY, ON RUSSELL'S CRITICISM. To the Editor of The Freeman: Ste. Louis St. Louis, MO. In reply to Mr. R. R. Brown, he was on the Smart Set Company in regards to my work with same food, I wish to say that for a man of education and a good time, I would have a special culinary as Mr. Russell evidently possesses, he should practice being more broad-minded, and, using a form of a new way, but not a type of curassic and m�s, when writing and criticising, be fair and not let his personal feelings toward an individual so that he is more than the best he has ever恶毒ly and fair. Although I have gained some small reputation as a delineator of eccentric characters while in the W. W. W. the roadway, as he is seen in I fill the humble position of chorus man and "burlesque wench" with Mr. S. T. Whitney's Smart Set Company. St. Louis, MO. In the case of the same thing that the above named gentleman is a prince among men and I hope to tell the public more about him, he is a chic and a firm man with his shows in the near future. In the special ensemble number, "Strutting Sam," I depict a "moll-leccoddle," he resists "reservoir," and he is "invented," I wish too offeminately. It is required I do so as directed by the manager, Mr. H. T. Whitney. It is also a very small, but little special, timeless, on the 20th. St. Louis, MO. In the case of the same thing that the time to study this show thoroughly before writing it up, and been more broadminded, he would not have mentioned some more than the one he had to do, instead of making his insulting, fastidious, narrow-minded insinuations. It is not a very small, but little, clean, true periodical the race should be proud of. Why soil it with Russell's sour intelligence, to slash slander the world, and a critical life? The spleen of the world. True criticism is an honor to be gladly received. The most of Russell's writings are either so more timeless than those of some diocese. Why don't Chicago get a bright young educated, broad-minded, modern critic—there are many—for this paper, and due respects to Chicago. On the upper shelf amongst the cobwebs and antiquity sell of ancient time lay gently that old fossil, and let his acid-stagnant mind ferment in the dead sea of oblivion. Do not cast etones at glass houses. Costello.

Miss Mattle Young wishes all to know that she goes under her own name and is doing nicely. Nit and Tuck don't have to do a thing, but walk the streets with Miss Tuck. Miss Tuck is using her own song, "Miss Hennie Brown is Master of the Blues." --- Julian Costello, of the Smart Set Company, says that Mr. Russell, of Chicago, has used the Freeman as a character that he marks that are cruel and unkind. He objects particularly when Mr. Russell Costello says that the wench character he portrays requires it, and that the manager insists on his acting the part he wants. So it should be should be. So it is easily seen according to Costello's viewpoint that if he wrenches the wench's twitches too effeminately. The trouble is that Mr. Russell knows too well that Costello is a male, being well accustomed to the wrenches he becomes disgusted but the audiences do not know Costello, that makes the difference. Really, Mr. Russell should be well accustomed to the hero is never that to his valet. He knows him too well. He has not the same perspective, consequently the wrenches he makes the valet's estimation. The application is well in this case. Mr. Russell knows that he is a man, but a real thing—not a wrench, but a man, consequently the glamour is gone, and which obsess so many others who do know that he is a man, but do know it, do not know him personally. The Editor. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA- TER. PHILADELPHIA (By. J. H. Gray.) The Gregory Troupe, composed of five white people, did so many entertaining things of the diverse sort with the same form of the human-human relationship of them as well that the onlooker was fascinated and often astounded which resulted in an abundance of applause. The first was of the most important and the most responsible, fun act that included piano playing, dancing and plenty of enjoyable horse-play. Bailey and Thomas were also also interested in the "Hatty Brown" catching on at once. String Beans doubled up with Ora Criswell this week in a make-shift where the band was in a new show. The new band is also a new show, displaying a little versatility with some good singing and piano specialties: Ora Criswell was as sweet as ever and she was as well as the song. She showed her shape to perfection. Billy King and his company of 12 were seen in a military musical comedy, a play-out, a show of the two soars of the�. She was the first to be regarded as appropriate to the getting of the story. For the act has a good deal of interest and the performance of the show is a resonant and pleasing show. The films were not taken on the reel. The films were shown on the show, and the new band was not the most destroyed during the whole years. The new band destroyed during the photographing of the great battle scenes. The films were not the most popular, but the big gun was the methods of their operation how they are concealed from easy observation by the enemy, and how an armouring service was to be the same as the man and the man. The two were bases to the guns in action. The views of the damage done in the big� forests are especially informative. Realfattle scenes rival the work of pre-police and the same. The more of the pictures of the feeding of the armies of the light on an important phase of the life on the battle fronts. These pictures are more of the wide-wider idea than the hard work to which nation defenders are put. Some of it does not seem like "glorious warfare," but more like "unlike of the man, the carrying and digging trenches and guarding and doubts. Some of the amusements in-diluted in by the soldiers are shown, but the more of the man is the most respect of the many scenes of horror. Manager Gibson says there is nothing too good for his people, as he can get the one that he is in and he is going to get and he is bound to have the best. Next week will be anniversary week.

After Kit Finney, the little colored flash packed the New Kingston Opera House and drew a $9,500,000,000-year-old lighted, and gave Frankly Burns, of New York, the little terror among the banana-weights, the worse lacing of his feet and the head of the King. The New Kingston Light, the first to leading a light promoter, offered James J. McCarthy $1,500 for a round-bout with Richie Mitchell, the sensational and valuable featherweight. The New Kingston Light was the first to follow the New Kingston Johnny Kilbane, a lacing in Cincinnati on New Years, and Kid Finney his little colored lighting machine. The new kingston all the other the entry know that McCarthy has often sent his little colored flash into the ring with the top-notch feathers and light-lighting. This is the most common to allow Finney to box a lightweight. The best that Richie Mitchell can do is 126 pounds and Finney's best fighting ringside, the Mitchell will make 120 pounds for Finney three hours before the fight. Broad's $1,500 guarantee will be accepted if the little three hours come in at 120 pounds each. This before ring time, there's nothing doing in the way of a Richie Mitchell-Finney for the present. At New Kingston, Finney is boxing like the olds of a boy like Mitchell is too much of a handicruft. The little is being a bandit to give him five pounds weight, but no more than five pounds. Finney is making good and a guarantee of few hunny-dolls. The new kingston with an even chance of winning means to be a few-and-a-old olds of a few thousand dollars with a handicap weight of eight and a handicap-back, a decisive lost and a long setback.

Sporting Editor of The Freeman: "There appear to be January's 'Illustrated Record', a sporting sheet published in the city of New York, an article that Jack Canal wrote about the weight championship of the world, and that his manager, Ed Brown, can get a backing for any amount that Jack can win. He agrees with Mr. Brown that Jack can beat Darcy and Glibbons also, and Ahearn, Jeff Smith, George Chip, Joe Jones, and many others, any middleweight in the world except Eddie Palmer, who is the peer of all the middleweights on earth, and Eddie beat the great Blackburn in Memphis, Tenn., in August, 1915, in the greatest boxing contest ever seen in the world."

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. Russell wore the golden smile that wasn't found to have that light Russell was in. He iron jaws, and it takes an iron-jawed Monday is known as the Kid Mondeal.

Zulu carried the fighting to Moore practically all the way, but was continually running into Moore's long left and right. LAWRENCE, Mass.—The left eye of Frankie Nelson of Brooklyn, N. Y., was split so badly that Referee Tommy Bouton the main bout on the night of January 14, gave the award to Frankie Mack of Beachmont in the second. 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. He weighted a new colored heavy-weight, Gunbob Smith, knocked to the mat by Jim Coffey. This time, however, he new colored heavy-weight into the limb of Harry Wills, of New Orleans, and after seeing him go through his paces to admit that Harry was generous enough only reason that Wills did not win by a knockout was perhaps because his all fighters, Laverford. At long range Sam did not have the ghost of a chance. Wills towered on and had several inches the longer reach. He tages the New Orleans fighter made the most of, standing off and peppering his opponent until he had Sam looking over the right with that dull, sickening thud of which the novelists write. LITTLE BLACK PADDY McCUR OR ATLANTA, GA., AND K. O. MARS (WHITE). Said He Was Too Tough for the Money He Tough Broken Hand Awwww. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 13. The Sporting Editor of The Freeman: I hope you will remember receiving a letter sometime ago. Concerning private match between Knock-Out Mars (white) and Paddy McCur (colored), of Atlanta, Ga., and I wrote that I would send the returns of this little map. Here is how things turned out. Mars brings his hand (or claims he broke it) some time to a scrap with George Chaney. This hand is a claim of the first got back in form, so he wanted the match postponed until the first of the year. Mars being a confidential trend mine, I didn't think it worth while that. The post forfeits. I knew Paddy would appear and thought Mars would do the same. So the first of the year came in at the last minute and said I could stand again. For such a small sum. So we agreed to raise the purse, providing the bout was raised rounds instead of three. But Mr. Mars couldn't see it that way, so he finally came out and said that the colored boy was too tough and he wouldn't risk his hand and reputation on such a small sum. This sounds awful to me because he (Mars) was the one to propose boxing Paddy and claims Millionaire South American sportsmen are planning for a pugilistic carnival to be held at Buenos Aires next spring, in which the four fistic championships of the world will be contested.

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. Or maybe I could win or any one else. Russell opens a challenge to the world to meet all comers at 138 to 140. Russell's address is the Montgomery A.

Reared and Educated in St. Louis. Shows Evidence of Superior Training Under Distinguished Mother. NEW YORK CITY—Madam Lela Walker Robinson, following in the footsteps of her famous mother, achieved a career in the great metropolis when she opened up on schedule time, Sunday, January 2, her huge and exquisitely neat beauty, a place of Thirty-sixth street, in her wonderful new mansion, in a blaze of glory. Every convenience and art known to her, to be installed in the booths and departments of her famous school, where the beauty art is taught and practiced. The new museum, the most appreciated. The Tempo Club, of which Mr. James Reseo Europe is director, furnished the music. The museum and the elect generally wended its way by all modes of conveyance in response to the nearly 10,000 invitations issued by Mme. Lela Walker Robinson to be present at the The sight that greeted the eye of the beholder was surpassingly beautiful. Nos. 108-110 have been built into one large house, having a facing of red brick with marble trimmings, French windows and two entrances, one private leading upstairs to the handsome residence, the other down into the basement shop. The shop was open to inspection, and everything from the wide French front window with the Walker coat of arms in the center to the boxwood trees in green pots at either side of the shop door, said: "Behold, a marvel." The exterior is impressive, but it only faintly suggests the rare beauty of the interior. Blue and white is the color scheme, with French gray wickerware to tone the parquet floors, and the stamped metallic ceilings are but silent reminders of THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ings and simply form the setting around this gem in beauty parlors, where you can see the long French door, and a blue velvet runner guides your steps down into the shop. Roped in with blue velvet rope through white marble posts. The walls are decorated with everything within this roped area is done in white even to the diminutive waste basket which caned sides. The walls are decorated with commercialism in the light, smiles and says, "Thank you; come again." The walls are decorated with a dainty manicure table presided over by a dainty miss whose smile is the appeal kind. She, too, is dressed and has a large smile. She sits in the wall is just right. To the left along the wall are handsome show windows where the Walker preparations and the Phoebe Snow goods are displayed. The show case just makes you feel that if you stood back of it you could see the lovely things. They are such lovely, smelly things. The big French mirror is an alluring temptation "to see yourself as others see you." You simply cannot resist. The wicker furniture invites reposes with its handsome cushions in blue upholstery.

On the right of the tea room is the instruction room, complete in every detail, and humble, provided for the needs to work on. The excellent lighting facilities of the Palace of Beauty Culture is a feathered patronage. No adequate conception of its attractiveness can be had without ocular proof, and the bold genius of this greatest establishment among great enterprises of the race is one of the most affable and courteous women, whose presence is so permeated by who permeates the atmosphere with her personality. It was a joy to be led so entertaining and to be accompanied by the great woman's achievement by the great woman herself, and to bear away the impress of the fact that thoughts of the great woman were felt by the Lelia Walker Robinson is the greatest achievement of the race for the employment of ambitious women and girls and the added attractiveness of bishops. A woman whom it is a delight to honor, and an establishment of which to boast called forth the telegrams, messages and felicitations of an admiring public. DEATH OF MRS. SARAH WILSON An Old Pioneer Citizen of Charleston, Ind. Loved by All. Special to The Freeman. Mrs. Sarah Wilson, an old and highly respected citizen of this town, passed away at 11:30 p. m. last Saturday after a long illness in pneumonia. Her funeral was held at Bethel A. M. E. church at 2 o'clock lastuesday, and has lived there all of her life, all who knew her. Those who officiated at her funeral service were: Rev. G. F. Crossland of Crydon, Ind.; Rev. G. F. Crossland of W. H. St. Clair of Charlestown. The following tribute was prepared and read by Prof. C. E. Maxwell, the schoolmaster of the Charlestown public schools: (Sarah) Smith) Wilson, fourth daughter of the late Louisa Smith, was born in Charlestown, Ind., December 1, 1841, and departed this life at her home in the Charlestown neighborhood, being at the time of her death 74 years 1 month and 14 days of age. She was united in marriage to Robert Willett Smith. To this union were born no children, yet four children were reared in the city, two in February, 1800, since which time she had lived alone. She leaves three brothers, one sister, several nieces and nephews and a loss of four sisters. She was a member of one of the pioneer families of Charlestown, her parents having founded a home here in the early childhood that she was brought up under the influence of Christian parents, who taught her in a carved wood chair. She was the first leader of wisdom. In early youth she professed a hope in Christ and united with the A. M. E. church and lived a consistent member of the community. Heres was a life of Christian service, being ready and willing to do at all times when she was a member of the language of St. James, was not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work. By her death the church was a member of the community and the community an upright and dutiful citizen—one whose life work is worthy of emulation. It has been the work of her life that has known the deceased for more than thirty years, and I have always found in her a faithful friend, true and tried, and her life to me, as doubtless many others, was source of inspiration. While she was lying upon her bed of affliction, being racked with pain and scorched with fever, I visited her and upon one occasion I said to him, "You know how to do it." In a high Power, "Indeed, I do," said she in accents clear and strong. Savings this supreme confidence and trust permeating her inmost soul, I doubt not that on last Saturday night when the Grim Ferryman hove in sight, she could hear by an ear of faith the still voice: "Let no you see you." I told you I've never been to me. I believe in God, believe also many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also." And as her撇s to take its body of spirit was about to make it right to the God who gave it I imagine she could hear the welcome: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will now make the ruler over many. Enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." To her sorrow-stricken slain, the brothers would say that with your hearted sister the conflict as past—tis over. That gentle bosom throbs no more. The spirit's freed—through realms of light, Faith's eagle glance pursues her flight to other world, to happier climes, remember, "That life is ever Lord of Death, and Love And now we leave Sister Wilson, who was your friend and mine, in the garden, and we went to the unto me, all ye who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." To her tenure, she was the sweet peace that sweet peace that flows as the gentle river along its mossy banks, about her tomb, and the earliest in springtime and latest in the autumn breezes; and about her tomb may the gentle zephyr chant the tumultuous tumultum till the dawn of judgment Morning.
