Scott, secretary of the foundation, with number of charges of the duty of raising the colored people's share of the memorial fund, confers with number of volunteers, with experience in the duties, to as ways and means looking toward the end in view, and it would be well to continue in force the very earnest and congenial body of gentlemen who worked together and worked with the memorial memorial meeting at Metropolitan A. M. E. church in honor of Dr. Katherine M. Church, the most notable of the many great meetings held in the entire center in meeting the mistressful spirit of the race's monumental educational center. It is understood that this committee will be called together—this week, practically intact, continuing Henry Lassiter as chairman, and R. W. Thompson, as secretary designate, until a permanent organization can be effected. The plan outlined is to have the general committee sub-divided into groups representative of the several professional, business and fraternal interests of the Washington people, and these groups will in turn reach every element of the cosmopolitan citizenry of the nation's capital and vicinity. The committee that will be called together to act in behalf of the $250,000 fund will include, in addition to Messrs. Lassiter and Thompson, Messrs. Daniel Freeman, James A. Cobb, W. L.

At a meeting of the board of trustees toward University, held a few days earlier, Alexandra McKinnon of the Third Episcopal District of the A. E. Zion Church, which embraces the city of Columbia, was unanimously elected the president of the church, and the late Dr. Booker T. Washiggin. Another distinguished gentleman was chosen in the same way as a vacancy in his name, withheld at the request of the officials, and the request of the dignitary signified his willingness to serve. The same of this eminent philanthropist of the race will come as a gratitude to the country when the news can be released. The selection of Bishop Walters is a most fitting one, and could not have been improved upon, considering every aspect of education and is in hearty country worth while. He is energetic and expressive in all that he undertakes and gives up all sides that he will prove in strength to the rank of first-ranked institute. Not only is he a factor of trust in the church, but he is useful and joint-taking as well. It is understood that he will accept the honor. Murray's Epworth League Discusses "The Minority's Might."

M. E. church, the occasion being a Lincoln-centered meeting his intention to undertake the defeat of the pending proposition, not to enclare his intention to undertake the progressive Negroes of his city humiliated, but he did not want such a foul, to be placed upon the fair ground of St. Louis, to be able at all times to speak of with pride and satisfaction. This broad-gauged sentiment and his references to the emancipated Negro brought down the house and Mr. Dyer was given an ovation. His sincerity cannot be doubted by the Negro as an economic factor of the upbuilding of the nation's restrained defenders. Speaking of the high-grade colored people of St. Louis, of their churches, schools and home, Mr. Dyer said: "I am to Dr. D. G. Shaw, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church and to Dr. A. M. Sampsey, pastor of Paul M. A. church as typical Christian leader, and referred sorrowfully to the passing of the race's great orator and diplomat Turner, a former member of Liberty.

Scott effected a working week last week, looking to an active campaign for raising the District's share of the $250,000 the Negro is expected to receive in the national medical meeting. The educated educator will be kept intact, and with powerful additions, it should be a generous amount toward the $250,000 asked for. A meeting of the committee will be called in a few days by Henry C. McCormick, the collector, chairman. Mr. Scott expressed himself as greatly pleased with the success of of the great meeting at Metropolitan University of Kansas, the appreciation to the committee from the Seth Low, the chairman of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute and the senior speaker at the memorial held here. Former Special Assistant District Attorney James A. Cobb is mentioned favorably for a place on the faculty of the Howard University Law School. Mr. Cobb is an exceptionally bright man and could fill such a post with signal ability. Mr. George H. Porter has been reinstated as a linetype operator in the government printing office. Mrs. Paul Laurence Dunbar addressed a large audience last Saturday night in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the campus of the University. The meeting was one of the series inaugurated by the Sororities of Howard University and the city later in the season as an attraction of the Bethel Literary Society. She is always a "drawing card" at the nativity capital as a young woman of whom the entire circle is proud. *** *** Col.

The District Commissioners. To do away with the custom of years of service, the provision has been incorporated in the bill that the appointee must be a bona fide resident of the District of Columbia. The principle of home rule is essentially local and should be filled by one familiar with local property conditions and a principle of home rule is essentially local and should be filled by a change of appointing power. Mr. Nathan Hunt, Tuskegee Institute's well-known stenographer, accompanied Mr. Emmett J. Scott to the city last week. They were guests of Mrs. A. M. Curtis, 1839 13th street northwest. The project to erect the "Hotel Duglass" is taking form and the color. The plan has the backing of Washington's best known colored men and the white capitalists who exhibit a willingness to assist in the enterprise are ready to help. Washington is being offered to likewise ready. A first-class colored hotel and apartment house is one of Washington's crying needs and now that this long felt want, the chance should not be neglected. ALL RECORDS SMASHED IN ST. LOUIS, M. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN. $69,060, Subscribed. Mr. and Mrs. Malone Give $5,000. Number 13 had no terrorists for the 200 men who lined up in the building campaign of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association during December. To a man, the citizens of St. Louis lined behind the undertaking and came out victorious in good old St. Louis way. The goal set for the campaign was $50,000 to meet an offer of $25,000 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, and $75,000 from the board of directors of the St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association. It was a tremendous undertaking, and not until the very last night were all of the "Doubting Thomases" cured of their unbelief. Fifty thousand dollars was asked, and at the end of ten days $69,060.35 was the total subscribed. This magnificent result was made possible through the unselfish co-operation of the men of St. Louis. Mr. Frank L. Williams, the principal of the Sumner High School, was chairman. Mr. David D. Jones is the executive secretary of the colored branch in St. Louis, and for a year and a half had been preparing the ground Mr. A. E. Malone for this undertaking. The expert services of Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, of the International Committee, were possible in making this campaign a success. Never did Dr. Moorland do a better job than St. Louis. Among the substantial gifts which attest to the splendid business acumen of the Negroes of St. Louis were three: one thousand subscriptions. Mr. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Summer High School and chairman of the colored branch, set the pace by leading with a $1,000 contribution. Mr. V. C. Gordon, a prominent undertaker and president of the Negro Business League, added his $1,000, and Dr. Wm. L. Perry, pastor and physician, contributed a third $1,000. It remained for St. Louis to break all records in every way, but the one way in which the record was smashed was in the size of one contribution. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, proprietors of the Poro System of Scientific Hair Culture, established a world record among Negroes by giving $5,000. This magnificent gift was a fitting climax to the campaign. Mr. and Mrs. Malone have made their contributions to similar causes in the city. Because of the high esteem with which they FERRIS ASSAILS "BIRTH OF A NATION."

The Negro Civic League of Lansing did all its work in showing of the "Birth of a Nation" here in this city. They were successors of all its efforts, passed which provided for a board of censors, but who, like the censor boards on the board, played in such a damnable play, the censor board cut out two reels, which they thought objectionable, was played in the court.

Baldwin, a new high mark of giving on the part of colored people and will beget other gifts." Many memorials and news items were brought forth from the public press and a striking one is an editorial from the St. Louis Republic, which on the column on the front page in reporting the campaign. We quote the editorial: "An Opportunity." "Now financial achievement which St. Louis has put to its credit in the past year is the success of the colored citizens of St. Louis in raising $69,947.80 for a college." A seant half century ago the colored citizens of St. Louis had just neglected from slavery; and as Booker W. Washington consisted of a few bed quilts, pumpkins and fowls 'miscellaneously gathered.' "Today the race numbers many men of substantial means and big civil spirit. A large proportion of the peo- ple of St. Louis, including the writer of these words, comes of Southern stock. "Our ancestors were tended in their infancy, served in their mature years and tenderly cared for in their old age by the strong hands and warm hearts of American Negroes. This obligation thus accumulated through the generation is one which we can never fully disgorge. The opportunity to help in the work so nolly may take more force function is to make colored boys into good citizens, who might otherwise develop into bad ones, is one that we can not afford, in view of our history and present needs, to pass by. Thus the St. Louis campaign made history and friends for the race. Mr and Mrs. A. E. Malone entertained at dinner last Thursday, Mrs. Elwood C. Knox, of Indianapolis, and Mr. and Mrs. David G. Jones. Mrs. E. C. Knox was the guest of Mrs. Malone at the Y. W. C. A. While Mrs. Malone was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Malone had contributed $650.00 to this most worthy cause. TELEGRAM READ BY HON.

Old Carnegie Hall, the largest auditorium in this city, where Booker T. and the other members of the largest, earnestly and effectively for race, presented a touching scene last Friday evening when 5,000 people of both races gathered to honor the memory of the late education a one of the greatest memories of the years over which it has passed. In this nation in honor of a private citizen. It was the old crowd that used to greet Booker Washington when he came to this city on his missions of peace "and good will," and it was to keep back the team of the old people of the last century, told of the cardinal virtues of his life. The meeting was a pronounced endorsement of the educator's program, and told of the place he has had in this city in the hearts of New York's populace. The meeting was held under the auspices of The Hampton Association, the American Church, and the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, under whose auspices Dr. Washington spoke for the last time in this city. The meeting marked the opening of the great campaign to raise the $2,800,000 endowment fund of the Fund for the Education of the Educator. A feature of the meeting was the singing of favorite jubilee melodies by a quintet from Tuskegee, a quartet from Fisk University and a chorus of 150 voices from the young people. The meeting was based on the direction of J. Rosamond Johnson. Roland Hayes, the Boston tenor, assisted in the singing. The young men from Tuskegee made a deepधातु of the song, and the well-known men and women of the race in this city, who had been honored by special platform tickets. Hon. Seth Low, former mayor of the city, presided. Sitting beside him was the most loyal friends and supporters to the work of Dr. Washington. Mr. Low said that Dr. Washington's life was a great deal more than the work and that his life had been a benediction to mankind. "Tuskegee," said Mr. Low, "is both a school and an influence in the country, and is a great South." Mr. Low read a letter from the Governor of Alabama in which he stated that he would continue to work in the public service. Mr. Low said that from a letter from Henry L. Waterson, the veteran journalist, who said that Tuskegee was not confined to the public service, said that he was an English- Ethnic-Mental-Characteristic of the movement, a leading for the faculty of the school. Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton, was the first speaker. Dr. Frissell said: "We have no idea how much of the work of the honor to the memory of great Americans. I remember we honored Carl Schurz, the greatest American who ever served the country, and that story is not half as wonderful as the story of Booker Washington who came out of slavery. His life was a victory over the great American梦. He had a address by saying: "See to it that Tuskegee does not go down." Ex-Assistant Atto-General of the Department of the famous Boston lawyer was one of the greatest surprises of the evening. Mr. Lewis in a clear voice that rang out of his mouth, "He came to pay our respects to our fallen leader. That voice that used to ring out in this hall is hushed, and he was in the public service, and he is for equal opportunity." Mr. Lewis told how, shortly after his graduation from the public service, he said that he was a great man, but he was glad that the time came when he could understand his propaganda. "The great man," he said, "was the trustee of Tuskegee, and recently elected to the presidency of the New York Board of Education," said Mr. Lewis, who was the chief executive of the city, made in the public schools of this city would be done from what he learned at the time. "While he said that he was a great man, he told the whole world ows a deal that tude to Tuskegee. Southern White Man Speaks for South Dr. J. H. Dillard, of New Orleans, Burke, memorial of Booker Washington, Burke, that Booker Washington had the respect of the white people of the South, "Booker T.

Dr. Dillard told his visit to the grave of good for humanity as Booker Washington stood with bared head and tried to think of a man who had done as much good for humanity as Booker Washington, none. Dr. Dillard said that he is greatly impressed as he goes through the log cabins pictures of Booker Washington. Dr. Dillard spoke for the occasion. Dr. Booker Washington, upon whose shoulders it fallen upon William, got a great ovation from the vast throng. Dr. Moton said in the course of his address: "It is entirely fitting on the eve of the birthday of the great emancipation, from whom the one who stands pre-eminently as the most unique individual product of emancipation, Booker T. Washington's friend Abraham Lincoln's ideas of regarding emancipation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The new $25,000 branch library for colored citizens was formally opened here last Thursday, November 19, 1957. The new library under the auspices of the Nashville Negro Board of Trade, with Honor N. N. Johnson, its president, as the principal member of the American Carnegie gave the Nashville Library to Andrew Carnegie and the $25,000 with which to erect the building. The city of Nashville furnished $5,000 with which to purchase the site. The library was also a member of the United Trade the local colored citizens contributed an additional $1,000 in order to provide more desirable and more than the same of the other living conditions, their liking could be, and to the respect, the Board of Trade, took the lead and the Library Commission gave its ear to this organization in the established position of the United Trade, and offered people, in the appointment of the colored librarian and as to other details. Miss Marian Hadley, a Fisk graduate, was selected as the librarian, and Miss Hattie Watkins, also a most accomplished young woman, will serve as the chairperson. At the opening exercises the president of the Nashville Library Commission and several members of that board were present, also the librarian of the Nashville Library, who made speeches. Dr. G. H. Bandy, a former president of the Board of Trade, presided, and an appropriate chairperson, was presided over the anticipated in by singers from the local colored educational institutions. The address of President Johnson was held in the same way as it would be considerable space here by the white press. He said in part: "This occasion emphasizes the truth that all American citizens need the same power and the same conditions and that there has come men and women of the South endowed with Christianity and love of right to access it, and that the American is opportunity in acquiring knowledge. "It is apparent to all that the day will come when all Americans will be able to stand in a solid phalanx for the solvency of the world, the best guarantee that the Negro will exemplify the example of Attucks is the knowledge that in the land of his country that his children will enjoy equal—if not just—freedom of life, peace, progress and happiness." The Sunday school opened this morning at 9:30. There were a large numbers of people. The less than one thousand of the mornings were thoroughly discussed. It was not minds in a goodly state for the morning service, so when the pastor, Rev. R. R. S. was present, he was in the maximum need of a prepared people for the reception of God's word. His text was first Peter and 11th verse, and he delivered the speech. He was not at the same time doing a wonderful work. Besides paying off the indebtedness of the present old church, which cost this congregation a great deal of money, he was still in the process to erect a $6,000 structure. His board of trustees R. E. Tweey, Chas. Barry and Chas. Redd, are sparing no pains. He was in the present old church to begin to take down the long-term history of the middle of the new year. He was in the present pastor is a progressive man and of course has imparted some of his progressiveness to his congregation. He was in the present pastor as his congregation. The B. Y. P. U. was well attended notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. The topic was discussed with the great majority of the people. In saying that the time is not far distant when the spirit of the B. Y. P. U. shall overshadow or engulf every one of the people. He was in the present vanity. Then we can join in with the poet and say, of a truth we are marching in one united band to Zion, that goodly land, that beautiful city. The Sunday Service was in the public, and the Mrs. G. G. H. H.

(This article was prepared for the Exposition Number by William M. Lewis. Editor: Owing to the great demand for space in the three attempts to caring for the contributions to the Exposition effort, it was not possible to give the two people a strong interest in the two things to the new paper, but the two subjects. This made it very lengthy. In reducing it to newspaper propulsion some inconsistencies and discrepancies have appeared. As a whole, however, it stands for a feature of Negro development that should not be hidden under a basbel.) It is something of a racial renaissance to review those of the years gone by who stamped their worth on their kind, or the age in which they were. On the other hand, the people of the world were emancipation Proclamation. We are recovering it, standing a good half century from the mark. We are thinking of the future of the world being the most of this time, and not so much of their worth as evidenced through material things. They made ready for material things. In our fast-going world we were to find the most important things to mind led in the duo of things that were, speaking all else into existence. It seemed given, at our very beginning, as the repositories of our race were turned up the race's ingenuity, initiative, aggression and momentum, which may be called wisdom, or the latter day term, effective in the future. In the greater existence of the total mass. They, seemingly, were prepared as a thing of divine ordering, standing creators as God stood Creator and rebirth for the norm. The world was the first time to be the first of the world. Now, as a whole, however, it stands for a feature of Negro development that should not be hidden under a basbel. These beforbears, as we may call them, were peculiar and distinct. In the Solomon and David, many of them did not have the "technical" wisdom of this day; they had understanding and skill in school advantages, thus adding to their great endowment of force. Shakespeare is not repeated in these days, nor life of Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Lord Macaulay, Tennison, Gibbons, our own Washington Irving will not be soon seen again. The book we have passed from us as a lost art—the glorious old line of men refuse to recinarcate. So it is not disparagement to contend the troubled period of our country's history, so clearly to the human understanding. Our strong men who were in the making during the troubled period of our country's history, so clearly to the human day, or God, purposely fitted the line of Negroes for supervision of the race while it was young and ignorant. This class of men, Douglass and like, refers, Ten thousand of us today readily outclass Frederick Douglass in the knowledge of his mastery strength? Who has that eloquence? swaying men into righteousness. Many more were like him who had been born into slavery as if awaiting the moment when the immortal Lincoln would wave the wand to break the two centuries and better of slavery's spirit. The products of the fifty years, and accordingly we offer them for consideration. Their faces do not adorn these pages; we present their stories in this festival of commemoration lest we forget the part they played. Douglass was called the first Negro citizen of the world, ea. the first citizens of the world regardless of race. He came from the depths, fused in the melting pot of this nation, and in the meanwhile treaded the high Brief Biographical Sketches. We give here brief biographical sketches of a few of these strong, forceful men that prepared the way for its coming. Some of these, who will be mentioned one way or the other, are Freedy Douglass class. All of them, however, were early on the scene, and were the stars of the ninth year's end of our race possible. John Mercer Langston. John Mercer Langaton, A. B. A. M., LL.D., of Virginia, was born in 1823 in New York City, and graduated ages, but the impress of his worth was on this side. Langaton entered Columbia University in 1849. He was appointed by President Hayes as minister to Hayti; was charge of the prison of Domingo; was dean and professor of law in Howard University; was charge of the Collegiate Institute. He was the peer of men of his day in all respects. Milton J. Turner. Milton J. Turner, of St. Louis, who died a few months ago, was not a member of the Republican class. He was also an able lawyer. As a politician, he classified himself as a bishop of the class. He was one of the national leaders of the great Republican movement, minister Liberia by President Grant. Richard T. Greener. In this number of the Freeman will be seen a beautiful poem by Richard W. H. Bacon, most faithful. The distinguished scholar is still living. He is a rich, ripe production of the age, and mankind. Like Lord Bacon, he left no department of knowledge untouched. When reviewing his many books, he once said, "One would think that he is unsurpassed in breadth of mind and vigorous intellect by any member of his twenty-five years of experience with the times without qualification. Among the catalogue of his twenty-five books, prepare for the Library of the University of South Carolina, its rare and Curious Books, prepare for the Association, June 1877. Then again: "The Great Pyramid, Its Age, Builders and Purpose," 29, 1878. And still one more we give to show the man's universality: "The Speech in the Land," an address at the Washington, D. C. October 28, 1882. Professor Greener's titles are: A. B. Bacon, Professor of the service examiner; was dean of the law department of Howard University. W. S. Scarborough. A very mobilization of force and intellect is Professor W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University. He saw the light in 1852, consequently he got in on the ground floor of our civil matriculation. He is profound in his specialty, language—a philologist of standing with the learned men of this day. He is honored by membership in the great linguistic societies of this country and abroad. No other member of the race has reached Scarborough's eminence in his chosen work. He is another Saul, head and shoulders above his kind, and through all he is as modest and unassuming as a child. He is the author of a Greek textbook which was at one time in use at Harvard University, leading American school. Among his other languages are Sanc-scrit, Zend, Hebrew and Gothic. He is conceded to be the most classically learned member of the race. His titles are: B. A. M. LL. D. He is at this time president of Wilberforce University at Wilberforce. Joseph Carter Corbin. Prof. Joseph Carter Corbin, A. B. A. M., is scarcely known to this generation if at all. He was contemporaneous with Jesse L. Lange with him in Ohio. Prof. Corbin was born in Ohio in 1833. He taught for two years at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. He seemed to be an enthusiastic and interested in other affairs. His accomplishments were so many that he could not have heartken unto the call of greater publicity. He was proficient in Spanish, Italian, German, Hebrew and Danish—a mathematician, a musician, organist, pianist. That he was not particularly eminent in any of these is plain to see because he was the very antithesis of a specialist. Hon. George Williams. Hon. George W. Williams was born in Pennsylvania in 1849. He is considered the first historian that the world has produced. He had a most varied career, including education,lation and discovery that he possessed. He enlisted in the army at fourteen years of age, after the war he enlisted in the army as a soldier. A week he was made assistant inspector- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. general of artillery with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was in turn appointed colonel of the army, having been elected to the senate of the state of Ohio. He was appointed Reverend, Honorable, Colonel, Editor, (he edited a newspaper) Traveler, Traveler, Lawyer, Attorney, and was worthy of all of his distinction names. He was appointed minister to Haytit by President Arthur, and was not permitted to permit the appointment to stand. Bishop Derrick. Bishop W. B. Derrick, now deceased, was born on the Island of Antiqua, was educated at the University of this country as a young man after having been well educated by private individuals, moving to America he attached himself to the A. M. E. Church, and after a successful Bible studentship, and then a successful law firm, finally, as if he was intended for the leadership of men from the very "foundation." His pastorates were well established, and he had the liberty of preferments until the goal the clergy's ambition was in his reach. He was so clearly qualified for the position of pastor that time came for his election men esteemed it an honor and a pleasure to vote for him. Bishop Derrick was one of the few men that graced a rostrum. All of the requirements of his occupation were summed up in personal appearance. Kings and princess, to all appearance, were his familiars. He was a positive joy to his family. He was his rich foreign accent Gave his tongue an unusual stateliness; as priest well stalled. Bishop D. A. Payne. And then Bishop Payne. Who will forget that little emaciated man of the church—emaciation—when seeing him. Angelic does not go with manhood by the church, but express himself unless he uses the term? He seemed a hermit of some sort, but he was a man of stated times and bless his children. He was as another pope, the supreme head of the church, through natural fealty, the Bishop Daniel Payne's titles were D. D., LL. D. He was an educator, a teacher, a man of M. E. denomination in his day. He was proficient in mathematics, Greek and Latin. He was born in South Carolina in 1811. Bishop Walters. D. D. Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion church, was born in 1858 and was educated in a private school. He did much after becoming a man to better his education, becoming so proficient that he became a school teacher. He had very good ability to teach and still has. In whatever capacity he would soon have worked his way to the tote. He had become widely known as the political bishop. He says that he taught the children his colleagues on the bench did not heartily approve of his course at the beginning, but finally they yielded, and he was assessed by a screen-relected on the church owing to his activities he was all right. Bishop Walters is another illustration of the men of our days of com. He is vigorous and youthful, of the generation that immediately benefited by the process of procreation, he has been masterly consistent in trying to win greater recognition for his race. He, perhaps, has more influence the administration than any other Negro. He was the first Negro to preside over a general Methodist body. This was London, England, at the Ecumenical Church. Bishop B. F. Lee. Bishop B. F. Lee, A. B., D. D., has already been likened by us unto a man who has come to mobility of physical contour, especially his physiognomy. His rosy-impressive. He adds importance to what he says by his dignity, wearing the Bishop Lee's author's name. Bishop Lee was permitted to sleep with them, the boys, when he came to Wilberforce; he was the man who was the president of the institution. Rey. W. J. Simmons. Rev. W. J. Simmons, A. B. A. M., D. D. now deceased, is perhaps, best known for his book on men's education, which by men means is complete, nor was complete at the time he wrote. But at that, it is the best thing of men in hand. We are much indebted to the publication for names and data which could not be found elsewhere. the need needs, so be re-edited, revived, supplemented, so to meet the requirements of the day. Rev. Simmons was a great worker. He was a great teacher. time was preoccupied of the State University of Kentucky, a Baptist school. The great American National Baptist Church. His suggestion. This body met for the first time August 25, 1886, at St. Louis, Mo. Rev. Simmons was unanimously chosen. He was born in 1856. Now deceased. Phillip H. Murry. Philip H. Murry was born in Pennsylvania. He edited The Colored Kentucky edition. He colored Kentucky, wrote this efforts at journalism, he wrote good, readable editions before Granyille T. Woods. Granville T. Woods, inventor, was born in New York City as electrician, engineer, manufacturer of telephones, telegraph and electrical equipment in the utmost sense. The patient office twice decided in Mr. Woods's direction concerning the induction railway telegraph. Hon. Jeremiah A. Brown. Hon, Jeremiah A. Brown was a legislator in the state of Ohio in 1855. He was born in 1841, consequently was the first man to days, weeks, months. He is nearly of that age of the forceful older men, and showed it through his masterly activities. Bishop James W. Hood. Bishop James W. Hood was one of the first bishops of the A. M. E. Zion church, if not the very first. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1831; his activities began on the other side of the country, and he set so often referred to. He was of that kindly, faithful, benign disposition as Bishop Payne, and generally a man of integrity during the days of reconstruction. Say's his biographer: "In 1867 he was elected as a delegate to the constitutional convention of the State of North Carolina, and took much that the Democrats called the constitution adopted 'Hood's Constitution.'" Samuel Lowery. Samuel Lowery was a silk cultist, a lawyer and an editor. His home was located in New Orleans, and he ested in silk culture, visited Patterson, N. J., where he met white men who knew the business and who greatly benefited from his greatest silk manufacturer in the United States, gave him a start, allowing him to work in the Industry. Speaking of him, the Manufacturer and Tradesman of Alabama, a publication of that day, visited the last two seasons at the Southern Exposition in Louisville, and received the first two over several weeks from other exhibitors. New Orleans he took a premium over eighteen competitors from China, and exhibitors of the United States, and DO YOUR OWN SHOPPING "Onyx" Hosiery Gives the BEST VALUE for Your Money Every Kind from Cotton to Silk, For Men, Women and Children Any Color and Style From 25c to $5.00 per pair Look for the Trade Mark.

Headquarters, 425 Claypool Hotel— Edward H. Schmidt, Mgr. To the Editor: It will be very much appreciated if you can find space in your valued columns for what follows: "Calls Clearly." If any man doubts the value of the service which Harry S. New has rendered his party, let him read the letters which hundreds of Republicans are sending to him, as the prevailing sentiment favoring his candidacy. He will find therein "The Hugle of Safety Calls Clearly," and the enthusiasm of material wins. The enthusiasm in a senatorial canvass. They are not empty meaningless declarations but pledges to sustain an honest man, and to sustain him in upholding principles which are of vital importance to prosperity and welfare of the country. The jubilant enthusiasm with which the Republican masses cheer for Mr. Newman's increased support by belief that his nomination will not create petty antagonisms within the party, and that the spirit which might put him and his party upon the defensive. We may be careful observer will doubt that the balance of power in the coming nation will be maintained, and have formerly acted with the Republican party, or if they come into political life recently, entertain opinions on almost all public questions. Is the success of the Republican party in Indiana to be imperiled by a new nomination of Harry S. New for United States Senator will do more toward than any other individual influence seeking similar preferment? Mr. Newman's Republican party has ever held. He is not an orator, but often does it happen that the speech of the orator is not a persuasive one and does not contain a sentence that the most ardent admirer can remembrane as a campaign personal equation" is written simply Does the mention of Harry S. Newause the baser passions in the great Reagan conciliatory effect to a unifying process that is now in cementing the two great constructive political organization. The deductions which follow contain the answer. The nomination of Elizabeth Warren would remove all doubt as to the votes of those who left the party because of her political views. The party furnish the basis for a reconciliation which can only be brought about by the creation of a new atmosphere, a new political party, a new party and multiply party power for a fortunate for the State and Country that the party has this magnetic leader in its strength and vitality in the nation.

"When I go to the United States Senate I will vote for nation-wide prohibition," says Arthur Robinson, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator. "On this great, vital, moral issue, which is not a party issue, I believe the voters should know where I stand, and what to expect of me. I speak for nobody but myself. For myself I feel free to speak on vital questions other than party questions. Indeed, I would not feel I had been fair with the voters if I had not stated publicly my position in favor of nation-wide prohibition." In 1914, in the dark days of the Republican party, Robinson took his place on the firing line and on a party pledge for a new deal won a remarkable victory in Indianapolis and Marion county and went to the state Senate. As Republican floor-leader of the Senate, Robinson consistently worked and fought for new deal legislation on Republican lines and helped Indiana Republicans make good. Today Robinson stands quietly for the new deal pledge of his party. He arouses no antagonism; he stirs no bitter memories; he makes no entangling alliances. On the other hand, he appeals to the fair play instinct in him; he is frank and courageous, willful, and elements are essential to Republican victory, and splendidly represents the useful and important younger element in which the Republican party in being so cloriously and permanently renewed. For ten months and more Robinson has been working tirelessly on an organization which covers the entire state. Politicians have been amazed by the growth of the Robinson movement. Democrats and Republicans alike are watching the Robinson boom grow and expand in all directions. Robinson's effective campaign, his public addresses and his vassal have become the talk of the whole state. First he has been a factor. In straw votes he invariably has not the first or second, and his presence has been as great as his time. He has rallied the forces of good government by invading his qualities as a real leader. Robinson is strong in Indianapolis. A meeting of the sixth ward voters, attended by some 700, gave Robinson a veritable ovation the other night, following the efforts of trained orators to win the voters for another candidate for senator. It is now admitted Robinson will get more than his share of the Marion county Republican primary vote. In other words, Robinson will win. Arthur R. Robinson is 35. He is married and has a family. He is a successful writer, a successful business man, a successful lawyer, a speaker of the local community, a winner in politics and a square dealer in public office. Robinson has headquarters at his law offices, 603-605 Indiana Trust. Building, Indianapolis, Indiana.—Adv. night, to perfect their arrangements a big entertainment on Valentine night. B. F. hall.

A. management does not need to be put out of commission even if the candidates did find it a rich field. When it comes to note writing Mr. Garrison is no match for Woodrow Wilson. He toyed with the honorable secretary of war, pinking him most beautifully, ad lib. It may be, Mr. "Bee" man, that Major Moton has no notion of aspiring to race leadership. And if he has such a thing in mind he should be permitted to try on the armor in peace. It looks as if Phil H. Brown will be one of the Kentucky big fours to the National Republican convention, Brown is prepared to fill the bill in all of the particulars in the event of his selection. He is being indorsed from all quarters of his state. Suffrage women to the tune of 50,000 will make a descent on the Republican National Convention at Chicago, so it is said. It is not said that a similar demonstration will be made at St. Louis. The ladies have not as yet indicated preference of association. Rev. Dr. J. W. Woods, of the A. M. E. Zion church, has been in the city circulating among friends and looking after matters in connection with the congregation. As matters now stand Dr. Woods will adorn the episcopal bench of his church in the near future. He is at once a splendid representation of his church and race. MR. HOGAN OF LEXINGTON. Robert H. Hogan, editor of the Lexington Weekly News, is very much put out because Harding Tolbert, the Frankfort, Ky. correspondent of the Freeman, who reproduced a part of his editorial, "Where Shall It Stop?" at a disadvantage to him. The excerpt was as follows: "So do not worry so much about segregation, Jim Crow legislation, nor even lynching, for after all, these things do not obliterate great causes nor ultimately hinder races." Harding's comment was: "We hope that Mr. Hogan didn't mean what he said in the above paragraph. We do not comprehend Editor Willis in letting such trash go through his paper. The young man might have meant well, but he failed to express it." In justice to Mr. Hogan we say for him that his article was not different in tone to what any race man would have written. His remarks were conclusions about what the race was enduring rather than expressions of satisfaction as Mr. Tolbert had it appear. The sense is plain enough that through it all we are to keep up courage. It is up to us to stand by our correspondents, but at that, we must have a care that we do not get the publication in wrong. It is scarcely short of malicious to have it appear that any member of the race stands for race restrictions. We have had the same trouble. Standing for a situation and making the best of it under the circumstances are not the same things by any means. THE COLORED CANDIDATES The Republican candidates and workers are saying that this is a good year to send a colored man to the State Legislature. It does appear that the Republican party is coming back. No one can speak with assurance about the result of the election. Nevertheless, the prospects of that party are much brighter than they have been for several years. The colored voters have always been a considerable part of the Republican party. Rarely does it win without them, and more than once when winning colored men have been sent to the legislature. So far this is the only elective office that seemingly is conceded the colored contingent. But at that it is no mean position, being at once representative of the people in the all important capacity of law making, and standing as a sign of an equality of right to take part in the government. F. B. Ransom, R. L. Bailey are standing for the nomination as representatives. A third one, William P. Todd, it is understood, has dropped out of the race in order to give Ransom a clear field since both are in the same district. Dr. J. R. Norrell is standing for the senate, the first colored man that has ever stood for that body. Mr. Ransom is looked on as a winner since the greater per cent. of the voters of his district are colored. The white voters, mostly of whom are Republican, are not interested. If there is anything like an oneness o s support on the part of the colored voters he will succeed. Mr. Bailey hails from another district, consequently there is no conflict between the two as it is generally thought. Both men are of ability and fine reputation. They are successful in their practice and enjoy the respect of the people generally. Dr. Norrell has also a good chance to win. The senators will be selected by the voters of the county; four to be chosen. There are twenty-four candidates in the field. The colored population being considerable gives the doctor a show that's worth while. He has practiced medicine in Indianapolis for several years. He is well posted, and is respectfully regarded in the community. IN THE Y. M. C. A. It is being said on the streets and by some of the newspapers that the Y. M. C. A. is now being used as a political hustings for the benefit of the candidates. They have in mind the fact that during the present campaign candidates from time to time have taken advantage of a chance to appear before the men that gather Sundays in the monster meetings. Of course, there is a danger of such a thing being carried too far. These men did not make political speeches in the strict sense, none of them. Most of them talked on good, helpful topics which were in the interest of the race as such and as a part of this great country. The thought of those individuals as candidates is what seems to be so distressing to some; their sin is that they stand for office. On the 8th of March when it is all over they will be suddenly relieved of their burden as famous old John Bunyan of oure. Of course the point is seen. The Y. M. C. A. is held as a religious institution. This is true but not strictly true. Anything that stands for the betterment of the people in the true sense is not in opposition to the Y. M. C. A. program. Religious influences Christian influences dominate the Y. M. C. A. as they should do. This does not mean anything else. It is of a special religious character. The politician as a rule, are learned men, at least, in civil government, in municipal government and soforth, and the information given out is right in line with the Y. M. C. A. mission. To have politicians at the Y. M. C. A. simply sounds bad; that's about all that can be said against it. They do good when they come in more ways that one, and do no harm at all. The Y. M. C. A. greatly benefits. Something has been said about the large sums given owing to competition, candidates bidding for favor. What of it is done is done properly. Not by candidates for political office, true enough, but for favor just the same. Some years ago a dear old white lady teacher, perhaps not so old either, used to read every morning from somewhere, presumably the Bible, this line, "Charity is not puffed up; it vaunteth not itself." She made an unconscious hit, not because of the thought, but because of the jingling words and profound poetry of expression. She, however, had the beautiful sense in mind. Some, in criticising the way the large sum of $500 was raised on a certain Sunday, thought that the giving was too showy—ostentations. This sound very well, and it is concernts those persons and institutions that are surrounded by plenty, it is all right. Modification of plans is another name for our race, and this is essential; was more so in the past than at the present time. Many of our churches yet walk up to the table if the best result is expected, by way of collections. If the candidates do not come to us we go to them, so what's the difference? We have admitted that the business does not look good, but there's a reason. The Y. M. C. A. needed the $500 badly; it got it honestly, even if given boastingly. The reflection, if any, is not on the Y. M. C. A. If men prefer to give their money ostentiously let them do it. Even John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie get credit for what they do. Above all it is with poor grace that we attack the management as unfit, because of the incident. A matter of method seldom reaches the point of a fundamental principle. The head of the Y. M. C. A. has long since proven his usefulness in this community. He has helped the Y. M. C. A. movement the country over by his successful example. He has moved in and out among us free of immoral taint—a victory in itself and to which few men have set down to their credit. Nor is it especially essential that they should, other than the class of men of this work and similar. We should feel very proud of our Mr. Taylor. The board also enjoys respect and esteem. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. As the years go by Abraham Lincoln improves in his hold on the affections of the people of this country regardless of sections. More light is being thrown on his character and from which we get the truer Lincoln if we may thus express it. The sum of the best thought seems to be that he did not come to the presidency with set views as to what he was going to do concerning slavery. His party was known to be in opposition to the extension of the iniquity. He did go so far as to say that the country could not exist half slave and half free. Lincoln was nothing of the abolitionist in the sense of active agitation as so many seemed to have thought. In principle he was opposed to human slavery, but he insisted that he did not come to destroy the institution as he found it existing. And had he been believed some method of gradual emancipation perhaps would have been carried out such as were the plans of the southern islands and some of the states and countries of South America. Those who felt to have had great interests at stake would not trust him, perhaps could not afford to trust him in the same sense that any business man looks forward to the protection of his business interests. In this day an election of an individual to the presidency with economic views that are dangerous to good government, or to special interests, means the arraying of forces against that individual even if the president has no opportunity to carry his views, nor has such intentions. Mr. Lincoln found himself in that class of executives who, in principle, was against a special interest. The effort to protect that interest made the war inevitable. Mr. Lincoln protested to high heaven, but he in prison stood against the thing of human slavery; he was elected by that class of men mainly. He became an instrument for the redemption of a race, never being a sworn enemy. His great value arose from the fact of his honesty, his honor and integrity. He did all he could to hold things to a level as he found them existing. Finding new conditions forced on him, new duties owing to new conditions, he discharged those duties in the right way as God gave it him to see the right. His greatness arose from the fact that he was ultra-prepared in conscience and consciousness to deal with situations as they presented. He was thrown on his own strength, his own mental, or spiritual, or intellectual resources which, happily, were THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER rooted in the eternal verities. office March 1st—Dr. J. E. Hunter, the hall. Mr. Ashby Jackson rooted in the eternal verities. Men have a way of knowing the truth and the light regardless of who be the bearer of them. When in the heat of the day, he had not the vision that came to them in after years. Their perspective was hazy owing to mistrust of the man's calibre and the great ordeal through which the country was passing. He had too recently come from the ranks to have established a reputation for political acumen such as is thought necessary for a president of the great republic. He lacked in the seeming exterior essentials, so much so that he was floundered with his beggarly makeup—his uncourtly appearance—the absence of polish and the rest of it. Men have a way of knowing the truth and the light, although often at the expense of the individual, who must wait long, sometimes, before those things dawn on their minds. Lincoln was one of those unfortunate, who in the end garnered a better fruit of the bitter years. Men learned his fine personality, woman heart—that bled with those of his country, another side. Revenge, animosity, hate, were things that were foreign to him. He would have avoided war, but it was thrust on him, and this manly part of him took its manly part and such, as no man of this day, north or south, finds it in his heart to condemn. In short he was eminently the man of the hour. KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS CAPITAL Col. Roscoe R. Simmons Sues Kentucky in Appeal Against Jim Crowism —Dr. T. W. Tendell (Rep.) Editor Phil Brown —Col.

Knights of Pythias Temple in Louisville faces crisis: The most deplorable state the K of P.s temple in Louisville is now facing, if the present installment debt is not met, the building is possible to be too the hands of the receiver.

Did you ever take notice that the majority of our colored actors want to be "producers." They think they are the best, but as soon as a performing a person to and fro on board the stage.

Salem Tutt Whitney, the star comedian and playwright-producer whose magnitude has increased with the sagittal tilt of his comedy, the magnificence of his own written production, is now established in the firmament left void by the death of Robert Cole.

He was born in Chicago and was 39 years of age. His first reputation was made by a coach, which he played in a team known as Mitchell. He made an early reputation in vaudeville and was for ten years under a continuous contract on the Orpheum circuits of America and Canada and was a good comedian who was original in his specialty creations ex-acting. He was the imitator of George Walker as a comedian and late star. The little girl in his act was the late Bessie Brady, who later doubled with his sister, Lena Mitchell.

Mr. McLane, head waiter of the hotel, heads the more waiters as the business is so rushing this week. There are more guests than usual, and the hotel ever before in the history of the hotel. The cake walks are drawing large attention, and the last cake walk at the Breakers Hotel. The sextet of the Hotel Policina and the Elks Band and Kelley's Band are all doing big business. The Breakers Hotel are also making good. The Friday and Tuesday dances give the colored employees chance to have a celebration in courters, of which the victim was victorious as the games are played in these days. OFF THE BAT Ben Taylor is creating quite a sensation with the bat in the games. Three sackers are common for him. Wallace of the Breaker team is the greatest tigger in the league, does it so quick that even the umpire has difficulty in seeing him. He must be posed to be the only player of any race who can tag Ty Cobb coming to second base. Because a good catcher, only he has trouble, at the wrong time, in locating the second sack. The Breakers are a fighting team. If Humphrey is settling the second base men's arguments, which looks very amateurism, the colored players here in Palm Beach have a chance to dominate for Negroes in the sporting world than any place else in the universe. Such Negroes in the sporting world, others, who never go to see a ball game outside of Beach are seen at every game rooting hard for favorite Morgans and hundreds of others, each player should at all times govern himself in the way he talks and acts, so as to establish a high standard of WAN For Brown's Ten An agent that can wild eat route and contract son position.

Of the following, the width unbroken service in the revival world I am writing this line concerning my experiences and observations. Much has appeared in the new form of the new, coming to the work and I shall therefore only write briefly. That there is no more inviting and respecting the old world which do not have a service for both God and man, I am fully persuaded. Oh, the joy of standing before thousands of men and women, some ordered us to join in the new, and then under the preaching of the gospel and the singing of the songs of the kingdom, yield themselves to God.

Sarah Green Byrd, the sweet soprano, a star soloist with the largest and best colored musical productions, and the best vocalist, it is likely that she will soon become a member of the Smart Set Company. Bessia La Belle, without doubt the best contralto singer of the colored race in America, rendered a few of her choice selections at the opening of the Smart Set Company at the Panama cabaret. Miss La Belle is a cultivated singer possessive voice of rare beauty and wide commas. . . .

His partner is a clever worker. We are not indulging in comparisons and hope we miss "Sweetie" May. Theodore Pankey, of "On the Road to Monterey" fame, and Bill McCarver are teaming with great success in and beyond Monterey. They have an excellent act which is continual demand by the white booking agents of the Windy City.

A genuine bill of good quality was offered this week at Gibson's New Standard Theater, where Mr. Owlesy erstwhile proprietor and manager of the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, supported by Kirkpatrick, appeared in his own dramatic skit, in How I Met Your Mother, said for Mr. Owlesy that he has invented a new theme for his drama, but he has not yet written a Minutes in Hell, a new twist here and there and invested it with considerable more interest and changed its title. Mr. Owlesy has the best work of his highly creditable dramatic career. The sincerity and fervor displayed by Mr. Owlesy has been a major demonstration of applause from the audience. In truth it may be said that the good impression created by this act was largely a gift, and the misinterpretation of the role of the "Devil" by Mr. Owlesy, whose facility for theatrical emotionalism was a major factor in his success, served his previous successes in this field of endeavor. Kirkpatrick, a man from the outer world who just dropped his first act, wrote a crime in for his share of applause. The if they expect to outstrip or even run a dead heat with the Defender. Wm. Foster is the man behind the gun at the Grand theater. Manager of the production, Foster's many years of experience and comprehensive knowledge of things theatrical. In the near future Mr. Foster will continue the twenty-second generation. It will be an answer to Dixon Dixon Macro, only hoping that it will have as wide a shining and completely contract the ill-effects of Dixon's objectionable film. We have received word that the Lafayette theater, lately under the sole management of the closed its doors. We hope the rumor is without foundation. We have only a few first-class colored theaters manned by those who cannot afford to lose any one of these. If the Lafayette has failed the folored people, we will not not for lending their support to a worthy enterprise. We should be fearful and ashamed of allowing any race support to come from lack of race support such failures are far-reaching in their ill effects. We learn with pleasure that Andrew Thomas, manager of the Howard theater, Washington, D. C., is to open the Broad street, between Bainbridge and Fitzwater streets. The location is ideal and Mr. Thomas should meet with imam John Gibson, the successful manager of the New Standard theater, and Andrew Thomas, managing the Olympia, are two of the sturdiest fighters in the world. We hope Brotherly Love. We hope they will continue to fight the game and not make it a personal combat. There is a lot to learn and we wish both unlimited success. Both are men of indomitable will and indefatigable courage. The history of their achievements is almost identical. By individual potency, commendable tenacity and raw business they are as well as those who feel they accomplished victory where defeat was freely predicted. Stock in the Howard theater went begging when first it was opened, at $1.00 a share. There are innumerable buyers now at a much higher figure. So certain were the�edical ones of the failure of the Standard that had Mr. Gibson offered shares for sale people would have laughed in his face. Yet the Standard at this present time is one of the most prosperous theaters in the city of Philadelphia. Both have won success by surmounting obstacles that would have daunted any out those possessed of the upheaval of the่อreliance and pertinacity. The failure of either would be a dire calamity to the profession and the people of the cities with which they are identified. Chas. Bougia and wife arrived in the city after a very successful season with Rockwell's Sunny South. The Eudora Dancing class, under the tutelage of Prof. Clark, gave a grand ball in honor of the Smart Set Company Monday evening, February 7th. The Fleet Foot Club entertained the Fleet Foot Club members and Valentine party at the Elk's Rest, 4038 South State street. James T. Cooper, president; Wm. Warmington, secre- tral. audience apparently did not tire of the Four Lunds, musicians of a high charm, performed the horns, xylophones, harpists and the recipients of a great ovation. The imitation of a saxophone on four cornets was wonderful. The execution of "Pop's Four Lunds" on xylophones, showed great skill and created great appeal by giving to the result of a complete improvisation with the composer's ideas. Jones and Gray, comedy entertainers, provided many legitimate laughing opportunities for the audience, as this their second week, presented "in a trip to Zuzuland via Mexico." They were as vivaluco as ever when they were accompanied by so few kept the listeners amused and their many and quick changes of costume were wavy and dazzling. In second action, they carry on their second for this act and their impersonations are so clever that they soon become one and the same with two young ladies who have enough spiciness in their act which is not overdone and with other characters, Chief Cutlery" with Billy King, and with other principals seen here before, continuing their early successes. The cast played with earnestness and with other characters of the halfbreed and villain well taken. The staring was admirable. Gibson's New Standard Theater has a new cashier in the person of Miss Minnie, a woman proportionately built and expressive features. Seen the other night at the theater she was coaxed away from the stage and told to chat a few moments. She is charming frank and simple. Her face lighted by flashing dark eyes, white teeth and an expressive smile, she said, "I am very busy and happy, everyone is so charming to me, and best of all, my employer says that I am the manager that he ever had. Is not that sufficient for a happy. Well, I must continue my work, good bye." And your correspondence with an impression that she certainly is a rival of the late Ben Lusbie.

McCormick, our first stand in Minnesota and business is still good. Our manager, Mr. Can you blame him? Some manager, too believe him. Queen Dora had quite an accident room she fell down six steps and was taken to Opera House in Cedar Rapids, Ia. While going off the stage to her dressing room she fell down six steps and was taken to a doctor in a taxi cab, where they found there was no bones broken, only an ankle sprained. It was very painful and better, and able to go back to work again. Hello, Coy Herndon. I owe you a thank you. We are quick by writing to the Freeman. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. LEW W. HENRY TALKING IT OVER Get Something New and Get the Money. The colored people of today are getting faster every day. They are looking for something new in every walk and the business man he ought to be. The first thing is, he has no word. He depends too much on Tomorrow will do to think that way in business. He believes in get all you can today and would only stop for a minute and think that lots of sales and small profits would benefit us more in the long run. He erage colored man who goes in business, expects to get rich quick and so when tomorrow comes and business slow, he is ready to close his doors. The same is in our line of business. We do not mean all, but most of them. The colors we get a fair salary and they never think of putting a dime away for a rainy day. We do not mean all, but most of them. We will say 10 weeks at a salary of $50 a week, their expenses will cost about 10 going big, sing a song and board, railroad fare and laundry this leaves them $22.50 surplus. They must have good times advertising them saloon, club or cabaret and spend about $10 going big, sing a song and board, railroad fare and laundry. They have a big head, and not one of those persons whom they entertained the night before will come out to the house to see them while they are working. Now, why not study more and get something new, something that your audience does not get and make the public aware of why. Why is it that moving pictures are a thing, they have something new each night, something that never was anything in the world that had more what we can impossible things than they are giving us today, something from every day life. We see all the comedies and dramas on up a paper and read of them. Why not change these around and use them in the stage, you can not do this yourself, someone else can do it. The world is getting tired of seeing the same old thing over and over, if you can't get something new, take a look. The stage is a place to entertain and get your audience. You must first get their confidence and if you bring them like a child, you will be so small, you have won them, but don't that. Keep on trying to find something that they want. If you get the people to wanting to see you, the manager has to make sure you are saving a little so that you can hold on. You can make the manager pay your salary and by so doing it will run the bad acts out of the field, then the good acts out of the field. You can get an act that is clean and up to date and something that the public wants. All the songs of old days were an act of themselves, so that is no need of anyone else, that they can't get something different. You will take most all colored acts today and they will wait until they hear someone else make a hit with a guitar and go to the next house ahead of this they saw and sing the same songs and use the same jokes, wherein there are enough songs and jokes in this world to make them change something. Read the paper by Alanice you will find plenty of good talk. When you go down the streets pick up a friend and make them change them. If you are a comedian you make them laugh at it. Don't wait until some one else puts it in your mouth, then spit it out. Get something your mother make your work a business as well as a pleasure for the audience. LEW W. HENRY J. W.

This theater is breaking all records this week with one of the best musical openings and dramas that has ever been performed at Atlanta, Atlanta, Bailey, the owner of the "SI" theater, is wearing his diamond smile. Mr. Bailey had an accident that nearly caused him to be drowned. He was taken to the hospital and later a man rushed over to a fire alarm box and turned in the alarm. The fire company rushed to the theater, and the man who rushed to the fire was and that man (Mr. Bailey) is on fire. The fire chief looked at Mr. Bailey and said, You fool, that man ain't on fire. He was a man who rushed to the fire. Mr. Bailey was so excited that he could only give his diamond smile. Edward and Norwirk staged in Italian opening that was supposed to applause Kenner, who formed the apparation of the dead brother, died the part to perfection. The entire chorus was very beautifully done and much credit is due to Mr. Lankford for this musical treat. Buddie Austin presented a very sad drama, entitled "For His Sister's Sister," throughout the act. Peggy Burnette, as the mother, was quite pathetic and she did a natural mother to be so young. Peggy was old. Peggy also did the "Woman on the Moon." She believes in woman suffrage, so she ousted the man in the war. Peggy was also there and was a woman in the moon. Maggie Austin, as the daughter, was in the drama all the way and she ex-tenuated her role too too too. Peggie and she really cried. She told her husband, Buddie, that she did not know how she cried, but she did not know how to lead a leading part as the outcast daughter, had her eyes bathed in natural tears and she read her lines with emotion and sadness. She is rapidly forging Mary Daniels was the heroine instead of the villainess, and she brought her to the man who disgraced her. A man who was greatly worked up over the drama threw Mary a silver dollar when she met him, he gave her as a cruel father, did the part greatly and he turned the audience against him when he drove his daughter from the house. Edward Lankford, as the black sheep, against his whole family except his father, as the two were companions in life. Now comes the real man, Bill Kenner, who was the chief villain, and the audience hissed him from the house. He had all parts of a villain. Lew likes to work, therefore, he is successful. Henry Bowman, as the crook, had the main factors in as one of the main factors in the act. Buddle Austin, the dramatist, easily read his lines and brought forth much applause. Maggie Johnson, as the man who surely knows how to marry a couple. He was quite eloquent. Lyons Daniels, as the Danny, was a scared man, who shaped his comedy. Billy Higgins, as the Mammy's little boy, was a riot with his short pants which gave a chance to marry his shaped legs. But, then, Billy is funny. Dinah Scott and Genevieve Stearn, as an ollo team, stopped the show, they were all dressed in their jokes were new and spley. Edna Dudley very beautifully rendered "Carrisima." She makes high fashion. The cashier is still handling the money without any mistakes, but then she knows her job. Buddie Austin is going out on the Bank Cashier, and will try to miss Miss Sterling to do the cashier. For Falker, our inventor, is getting out a life-science and will race with Mr. Bailley's auto. Tom Balley is training and his arm is up in the major league this season. Prof. Ed Butler is still in charge of the orchestra, and he and Arthur Chandler are producing a new overture. Watch for it. It will soon be published. Allen Spear, the stage carpenter, is on the job. He is also a great engineer. S. A. (Buddle) Austin would like to hear from Henry Jackson, Raymond Woods, Columbus Jackson, Hazel Edwards, Chapelle, Emma Johnson Creeff, Mobsy, Joe Sutler and Henry Dixon. You buy from 25 to 30 copies of The Frosted Apple. You send 51 to Lew Kenner send regards to the Tolliver Bunch. S. A. AUSTIN. NOTES FROM WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA.

Thompson.) Mrs. Maud Cune-Haye gave a fine lecture Monday evening at the 19th annual Music Festival, where she can music and Some Noted Musicians' together with a graphic demonstration. She was ably assisted by Mr. W. H. Richie, the music teacher, who went toward the support of the social settlement work if "The Center," on which street the townwest. He gave audience members the opportunity Mrs. M. H. Adams who spent several years in Scotland and who is now connected with Miss Mamie H. Burroughs' Training School for Girls was charge of "The Center." The Amphibian Glee Club, Prof. J. Henry Lewis musical director and business manager, is to go to Baltimore, Md., to attend a competitive singing contest for $5 in gold, the Alphonis Glee Club, of which Prof. Oscar Johnson is director. The Glee Club is to take place at the Trinity A.M. School in avenue and Biddle street. R. W. James has accepted the Amphibian Glee Club's invitation to accompany the party. The Casino Theatre, run for whites at F and 7th streets, is having a pre-paid room for the audience, said to be on the market for a tryout as a house for colored patrons. It is almost a replica of the Howard, except the windows are front to rear. Since the present management took hold last fall, musical men, like the company, vaudeville and pictures have offered, but the public does not seem to catch on. If some enterprising colony is a faction for a colored house in the business district, here is a great chance. Salem Tutt Whitney writes that "The Smart Set" is booked in Chicago for five weeks, coming on there to the Grand from Omaha, for a return engagement, with the remaining time to follow at other houses in the Windy City. Whitney says "The West is bully and our show goes big everywhere out this way," but there is no place like home. We are hungry for a peep at the East, and we shall head in that direction as soon as we have done our full duty by our good friends in this land of plenty, and appreciation of honest endeavor." Mr. Whitney, who is never a "shut-eye" at any stage of the game, is getting his plans in shape for a new play next season, which, it is said, will be on a more pretentious line than anything he has yet attempted. It will deal, they say, with the heroic, as well as with the comical side of the Negro's life and character. "The Smart Set" is expected to return to the Howard in March. Tim Owsley and Sidney Kirkpatrick have an act that is "different from the rest," and to say is was a "scream" at the Howard last week is to put the case mildly. These young men, well-known in the West, came here practically unheralded, but the lovers of bright entertainment and original ideas know them now, and they have "won a home" at the nation's capital. Their act depicts the experiences of a shrewd colored character in The Inferno, with Owsley in the comedy role and Kirkpatrick impersonating the devil. The dialogue abounds in pure wit and strong local hits that catch a wide-awake crowd. Owsley resists the prevalent temptation to over-act and plays the part with a commendable naturalness, and an artistic restraint that reveals the actor of sound judg What, You Can Well send and get Perry (Mule) B stamps, words BOB RICH Standard Theatre 12th & 9th Lafayette Seventh Ave., Bet. 131st a To my Professional Friends: I have now tak ette.

HUNG- TON'S MINSTRELS. (By Jolly E. Davis.) As usual this show is plowing through the winter with fair success, this being our sixth season without closing for a single day. We are now in the summer, and the weather is summer-like. Playing under our 60x130 solid khaki tent we are able to show whether it is winter or summer. We have played some of the best houses in Louisiana this winter, owing to the high license for tented shows. Mr. Huntington has purchased the best show car on the road, changing to the high tariffs on railroads which have taken effect the last year. The car is a rooomy one and well furnished and is the entire show. With a new line of scenery, parade and stage costumes, we have one of the neatest and most comfortable cars featuring this show for the past two years and I want to say that while being supported by an able corps of performers where we have failed to please our audience and have established a lasting reputation. The colored minstrel business is down, but hard to rebuild. We have found that in 90 per cent of the cities where we make our first show people leaving the people swearing that they will never again get stung. I hear this not only among the white people, but among the black people, as easy to put on a good show as to do otherwise. If your man show is indifferent and is caring only farther that he is grabbing, you take it upon yourself, my colored brother, and uphold the honor and dignity of the people at present, and they are expected to follow for your living. We are the ones who will suffer in the long run. Different showmen are finding it at home, and are very popular at present, and they are some seven or eight new outfits for the coming season, making arrangements for moth bands, with massive pares. We have nothing to say against a nice line of paper and lots of it, and a nice attitude. But don't let it stop there. Give the people a surprise when your curtain goes up that will give them a bigger, more comfortable look, and we were looking for. It seems that some of the owners and managers have gone money mad and with no thoughts for it, but we have my colored friends and let us save our noble profession from utter ruin.

Gives It Out in Glasgow, Scotland, That He Laid Down—The Price for Being a Free Man—Wanted to See His Old Mother. (By Billy Lewis.) Now and then the question is asked, Where is Jack Johnson? Now and then men joke that he was vanquished some insisting that Johnson was squirrelly whipped others contented the ex-champ updown. Some time ago the exile was heard of in English artillery company, all white players ex-commando. Later he was doing missionary work for the English army in Ireland and gave a trifle slow leaving Tipperary. Nothing has been heard on this side of his theatrical venture, that is, of its success. He gave a trifle slow great Britain with his company, carrying a sideline of talk that will help to make his sailing smooth. In Scotland if he is not there permanently, it will be remembered that Johnson was made a Mason in the land of the Scots. The Scottish people impress one as being intensely liberty loving, caught as it were, from the rugged nature of the landscape is anchored there it is because of memory, tradition and association. Under the headline 'Why Johnson His Fight With Willard' the People's Journal, of Glasgow, Scotland, published an interview with Jack Johnson in which the colored pugilist saw to "I say now that there is not a man breathing whom I think could not bear, whom I think could not bear, who was beaten by Jess Willard at Havana, but those in the know will be able to speak disrespectfully of Willard, because I think he is a great fellow—as far as a man is concerned; but if he were as good a boxer as he is righter. My friend with Willard was a financial position. But the story goes back some little way. You can hardly be expected to realize how I was persecuted after becoming champion, Yes, but I was not a people people in America because they could not find a white man to beat me. I would consent to be defeated by Willard I would no longer be molested and would enjoy the freedom any other man would have, old mother, who couldn't travel to see me. I would have my motor cars and other property restored to me, sounding like they they the double cross on me." Johnson said, it will be noted just what many colored people wished to hear this. He had a good sense of how he was a most convincing way, but it is not so popular or unique that it has to be the truth. I am not talking to the audience—just writing the index of the audience—not arising in the ex-champ, perhaps, thinks he is a genius in getting out a plausible sounding tale. The fact, however, is, that this same story, told way over the years, is so much more important, but it is more than ten thousand minds before and after the fight and the man-overing before the mass, so easily the three-�. In order to do this, that poor Jack was tired to spite of his former stout spirit. After all education is a panacea, and the world is a lot, but the man-overing before the fight and the man-overing before the mass, so easily the three-�. In order to do this, that poor Jack was tired to spite of his former stout spirit. In an opinion, this is a good state that in an oration when I was quite a lad, but had no idea at that time of the profound truth of the assertion. Back to the early years of the ascertainty of the way. The first English Histories, awarded by my present day friend, R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D.C. and also by W. Allison, of the "The New York" of the "The New York," he was the "judicial bench" in the instance, I have thought more than once that the prize came to me as much as he had ever had, and it is that this may be due a conscience that has a fear of wronging any one. I trust that my latter day efforts have set at rest any doubt in their minds, if they, in that occurrence, has the things of the "other" of the point is that education is a panacea for more ills than we think. Sometimes the bold, proud, ignorance, and addicts of the world, are about the year but it is the rule with kings and nobles who have the greater outlook, knowing in what a قالو سفار جب جب وان تغذات تباع سفار، وان تغذات سفار، in the life is to be reviewed by relatives, friends, associates, history, thoughts of which the bully does not exist, and in mind the species of manhood, having in mind the species of manhood that education brings about. Education makes for a newer individual whether they are the same. The greater view may be—what nationality. The larger view obtains through the processes, the producing that beautiful stole like attitude, which approaches the unglory of the sense of heroic Johnson merely posed as a man of fortitude. When the test came, the when test came. The pursuit has heart qualified albeit thousands of good miles stood between it. When he said that he said that through it all, in the language of John Burroughs, "I have not winced or cried in fear," he said that he conceived. No man can afford to advertise himself as having been brained regardless of distance in the scene, or number of years that has passed. The fight was a world event. In it he wrapped up more than two men. In fact Johnson's case is of profound interest from a sociological point of view. All there was nothing to poring, to care of man to man. His fight was brilliant, and winning had he avoided the pitfalls which he escaped all in the end, and with Sex the Key to the Bible Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books "I would rather be the author of the Bible.

Why was it necessary to whine about home and assault his manhood by laying down or pretending to lay down. Had the freedom of the country been permitted, he would be have enjoyed it on such terms? Probably, yes, and because he knows no better. Many of better understanding would have sickened and died naeth the awful finger of accusation. He would have been happy if he could have ornamented State street, Chicago, in his automobile once more. He has been somewhat of a hero up until this time. But now since the last pronouncement about seeing mother and the restoration of his cars and other properties as his price of betraying his friend the hero's halo sets awry on his head. We are not in for human wretchedness. Man can not be wholly divorced from his frail nature. So Jack Johnson and others are but human; they are not denied human attributes even when he is in the sole of heroes. But the more man must be put in abeyance as much as possible when standing in advanced positions. Hear this story of an exile who had nobility of soul if not in intellect, even hanging from the stairstair. From the Ruthemanian to Tarsas Schwenko horn serf, in 1814, died, after suffering punishment by Russia, a physical and mental wreck. See page 199. Very dear. Own land before I die, or no.

In fact I care dear John Johnson to this human sublimity referred to, as will be thought by the popular mind. But it should be remembered that he is more malignant than that of the exchampion pugilist.

JACK DILLON WILLING TO MEET ANY OF THEM. Will Donate His End to Charity if He Don't Win Jack Billion of Indianapolis, says: "I want to know in the man world over the 10, 20, 30 that if I don't win in a decisive way I will donate my share of the proceeds to this challenge goes for Jess Willard. Frank Moran Jim Coffey and the other players are challenged all of them time and again and they always come back with the answer: am 'too small.' That's what a lot of people thought a year or two ago, but some of them don't think that way now. I used to light in the middleweight division and light in the heavyweight and light-heavyweights. I believe the public with me when I say I cleared the pugilistic horizon of light heavies and the light heavyweight championship. "And then I took on the bigger felows—men who outweighed me from 20 to six inches taller who were from two to six inches taller who were from no one else for me to fight. My weight is only 170 pounds and my height is 5 feet 2 inches, but I'm not afraid to converse with them. I about a year or so ago Charlie Nellert, of Newark, N. J., was being boomed as the logical contender for the heart and charmship of the man I finally called." ring with me. Everyone said that I was going to be murdered. The fight ended in the second round—and I was the one because I had knocked out Winert. "Frank Moran answers my challenge," the one because I had knocked out small." Well, I wasn't too small to win from big Jim Savage. If you'll look in the records, you will find that I was at a time, too, when Savage wasn't as good a man as when I met him. I've fought every man I could fight. None of them have come too big for me. If you'll look through my record you will find that in addition to Savage, I have been fighting big men as Jim Flynn, "Pork" Flynn, "Gunboat" Smith, Eddie McGorry, George Chip, Frank Klaus, Andre Antoine, Norton, McTaryn and a bunch of others. been fighting for seven years. In that time I have figured in about 180 battles. Never once during my career has any man scored a knockout over me; never once have been knocked out. I have scored a greater number of knockouts, in ratio to my bouts, than bulk of the men in the prized ring. "I won the newspaper decisions over 'Gunbust' Smith and Tom McMahon. 'Gunbust' Smith and Tom McMahon both men scored decision victories over Jess Willard. Doesn't that show that they have made a better decision against the team than Willard? "I've seen Willard fight—and I've seen Moran. Neither inspires any fear or suspicion. We were too good for both of them, know that Moran and Willard can hit a power blow. We were just better but for either of them." "And when it comes to hitting—well, look over my record of knockouts, challenge—I'll fight any man in the world anywhere, any time and any distance, out or decisively on points, my share of the proceeds goes to charity. "Can I make a fairer, squarer challenge than that?" "I have signed articles to meet Willard in New York in April, and concludes that Willard is not giving me a deal in urging to meet Frank Moran instead." WILLS MEETS SAM'S LEFT SWING AGAIN; IS STOPPED IN 19TH. Boston Tar Baby Ends Boxing Lesson For Local Negro Suddenly With Terrific Left to the Jaw; Langford Great Ring General. By Col. Clukek. Sam Langford provided Harry Wills with probably the best boxing lesson any fighter has ever received in a career. He last night at the Howard street arena and then proceeded to reintroduce the local Negro to the "dark streak" he so some three years ago at Los Angeles. There was hardly a doubt in the minds of the $2,500 worth of spectators who witnessed the contest as to whether the man completed the count of ten. After being revived, Wills sat in his corner for nearly five minutes trying to figure exactly what Samhole had hit it. It was the fifth meeting of the two men. The results of the different man. Langford, two knockouts, two no-decision bouts, and Wills, a 20-round verdict. The "dreamland wallop" which Langford shot over with such rapidity occurred in the first round that relate. Wills simply ran into the punch, Langford feinting for a right smash and pulling the left from his hand. But swing or hook, it served its purpose, and Sambo justified the objection and Sambo justified dummy Burns awarded the decision. Bout Rather Tame First Eighteen Rounds. Prior to the closing period the contest was hardly a little more than a waltz-me-around affair. Langford, apparently in better condition, stalled and evaded Will's leads as though he were boxing a novice. The Tar Baby stepped around the local Kegow and where he pleased: took all of Will's terrific body punches, and countered with short rights and lefts to the jaw and body. For nearly fifteen rounds the spectators' times are objected to the manner in which the men were fighting. Despite the apparent bone-crushing punches landed by the fighters, they hardly worried each other. Langford at times allowed Will's to poke a tantalizing left in his mug in order to sting his opponent on the point of the jaw. Except in the fourth round, when Langford turned Will's almost around with two lightning lefts, the fighters were never in danger. Will's was said to have fractured his right hand in the seventh round. If the report is correct, Will's made splendid use of his starboard punch during the remainder of the battle, as he used it for looking for the most other times thereafter. The fifteenth frame furnished perhaps more interest than two-thirds of the second, and the third, the period Wills picked Langford up and threw him on the floor. Langford went down without even trying to get the ball out of white and black, hissing the local cinder. Shows Great Ring Generalship. Langford's performance, both from a scientific and finishing standpoint, is perhaps the most finished exhibition by any fighter in a local ring in years. Langford merely toyed with Wills. The Boston spade stepped in and out of leads as though he were shadow boxing. His method of blocking punches was finished from every angle. Wills should have had a hard-to-shot to throw instead of a Levison glove. For several minutes there promised an interesting argument before the gong sounded. It was stated from the ringside that Wills' manager, Jim Buckley, was not entirely satisfied with the selection of Sam Goldman as referee. After considerable discussion in which Promoter-Matchmaker Burns and the white managers of the Negroes participated, Goldman climbed into the ring and it was announced that Buckley did not understand the arrangements; he had nothing against Goldman at all.
