NUMBER 18 PULLMAN COMPANY It Places the Negro and Po- Side in Dom THE EXAMPLD A BLOW It is not Generally Believed that the Cor- Eliminate the Coored Employees from side Facts of the Recent Garrick Th ored Citizens had Trouble in Obtaini (By Sylvester Russell.) THE GARRICK THEATRE INCIDENT. On Saturday, April 15th, an article appeared in the Chicago Weekly Review an incident which occurred at the Garlick Theatre, published in the Chicago Journal, that William B. Hudlum, a member of the Appomattox Club, had purchased tickets for the play himself, wife and sister, Mr. Thompson, an employee of the Chicago Board of Trade, and was held up when they presented their tickets by attachments to the theatre and the theater's website. The week following I commented in a general way on happenings of the kind which I herein re-produce, quoted as follows: The Colored gentleman who bought some seats for the Garrick Theatre and then had some trouble in getting his seat or him back in history. The man may have passed for white to get the tickle if he had been black to may have passed for overweight to just reasoning of the argument, hence the badge is in the case. All white people are not prejudiced but their sympathy does not override the condition who do not recognize the condition which had caused a lingering flame of mischief. Single handed fights against just matters of prejudice. The best and most intelligent white people of North especially, do not applaud the nation. The most intelligent Colored people see it that way. There is nothough not nothing. But a coral method of punishment. The successful Negro is an eyesore to poor white men and the only cordial respect. The situation is showy. Some colored People think they are too good to be publicly identified and to be respected and go where they are not wanted, that is the use? It is far better to humble seat than to bother to be superior to someone supreme recognition came by not for the race question by friction, which stands for an example. The Grand stands for good equivalent. Why not go there? Ther. Mr. and Mrs. Hudunl on Easter Sunday coming from church and was taken to talk about the matter. I assured Mr. Hudunl that I had only commented on the matter as a problem without any reflection upon him personally or the party, as the man were used. And I assured him that he has a perfect right to buy seats in the orchestra and to I auntown theatre, he has desires, and to Mr. Hudunl intimated that his father was not altogether single handed. One of the members of the Board of Trade, he has the Garrick Theatre to see "Experience," stating that the play is instructive. That Hudunl is very light in complexion and could easily basken for white. His hair is straight on a chestnut color. His wife is of a dark brown complexion, but it is Y'S LATEST MOVE lock Car Cleaners Side by estic Service.

(not reflection of either parties' color that I mention the facts. I am solving the problem of conditions, as they exist, wherein the Negro race is con- fronted by ignorant prejudiced poo- white people. The intelligent white men, some of them, who own the theat- res, have the same condition to fight. Just for instance, I was given an order to see Miss Bush, the actress, by the white proprietor of the Grand Theat- re. To my surprise, the Colored stage managers held the order up, but I have not rebelled. I would not like to see the poor misinformed fellow lose his job. In the Hudson case the Defender demands an apology or discharge of the guilty party. Mr. and Mrs. William Sandusky spent Sunday in Maceo visiting friends. Miss Ordella Ford spent the past week with her parents at Veltington, Ky. Myrtle L. Moorman, after attending left Saturday for Chicago, IL, where she will spend the summer with her sister, Mrs. T. H.

KY.—(Special.)—The Kentucky Negro Educational Association, conceived here at the temple of the Thirteenth and Broadway A. M. E. Zion church, where the national conference of teachers were present to witness the occasion. Little was said on account of a defunct treasury, President F. M. Wood of Paris made a pleasure trip to California, $1000 to teachers' expense, notwithstanding the fact that President Wood refused to pay a lease after standing over a year. Further comment along this line in another issue will follow. Some of the most prominent contructors on speakers on the program were as follows: Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Washington, D. C. Dr. C. J.

Everywhere he goes in Oxford, people create crowds of people to listen to him. In Louisville it would be well if all the people would make a hero out of him. Of course, the jealousy of his hold on the people, and MR. F. C. DILLON Secretary Pythian Temple, Louisville, Ky. try to talk about him, but Col. Simmons, who has a big mind, but not a big head, pays no attention to them. The colored people of the State know that he himself made more friends for them among the white people than all the important bugs put together. After Col. Simmons had spoken recently in Louisville to 2,000 people, the Roy J. E. Wood wrote an editorial on him in the Torchlight. This is what he said. Roscoe Succeeds Wizard. "When a Moses is mustered out of service there is always a Joshua to believe that the God who makes no mistakes has held in reserve for this helpfulness, kindness, justice, faith, hope and love for both races, a Rosso shows in his writings and addresses that he has a vision. He is a man of wisdom and power, and an orator. He can control men. With Simmons in the arena, the good work now begun will continue in the summation.

By the costumer explaining how their scalp feels and the action of their hair by the customer, different issues and WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agent studies all the papers we send them concerning different dermatitis and sepsis and how to care them we have to guess what is wrong with a scalp, but they know at a glance at what is wrong and how to treat how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition. Because of the opinion that what will grow one person's hair will not grow the other. The trouble lies by the treating of the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the hair will grow. The main thing in getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many people, it softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens the pores in the scalp. It clears the scalp of its impurities. We need it for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of tetter and eczema so when a customer comes in with such a bad case that they are able to cure it without any extra charges to the costumer. These tonics are not sold by agents to costumers but they apply them to costumers who needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial send $1 for a five assorted shipment.

GEORGE L. KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1916. We couldn't make the Tuskegee memorial fund $1,000, but we made it above $600. We feel reasonably satisfied at the effort. If the action of the weather of these days were interpreted into language, it would read, "Take your time." This goes for baseball, crops and the rest of it. Judge R. S. Tuthill, of Chicago, has settled the business of long standing as it refers to Shakespeare's authority. He has concluded that Francis Bacon wrote the great works now signed up by Shakespeare. The Basconian theorists are doubtless happy in this year of the great Englishman's tercentenary. Senator Taggart made it in a walk. In fact there was no contest. All laid down for the invincible or the near invincible. The Democratic party could have done no better thing than to have nominated the Senator to succeed himself. This has in mind his well-known political generalship and his amiable qualities. We also have something to do in order to win sympathy and consideration from those to whom we appeal, or on whom we make demands. We must merit sympathy and consideration first. This does not mean resolving that we are just as good as anybody. Let us compare ourselves with others every day, every hour, and if we are able to draw right conclusions it will be very helpful in getting what we expect. It will be the test. Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts, of Bethel A. M. E. church, leaves for the General Conference of his church at Philadelphia next Monday. As it is well known Dr. Roberts is being favorably considered for the Episcopal bench. It is thought that there is not much disposition to greatly increase the present number of bishops which is thirteen, yet it is maintained that this the centennial of the church will not pass without creating at least three new bishops. Indiana presents its Hoosier born son, Dr. Roberts, for consideration. Indoing so it is with the knowledge that no more fitting selection could be made. He has every requirement, even to personal appearance, which is one of modest manliness, which is the respect of malignity. He carries with him the good will and the Godspeeds of the various localities which he has served. In short the great A. M. E. church owes it to Dr. Roberts, everything considered, to elevate him to the high office of bishop. Sancho Panza, a sort of Friday to Don Quixote, the well-known creation of Cervantes, was known for his many proverbs. He had one for every observation, and very often three or four. Don Quixote would at times upbraid him for this peculiar laquacity, a thing with which the distinguished knight, himself, was not a little affected. The difference between them was that Sancho Panza's sayings did not always fit close up, and did not ring true. He had one saying, however, that was very striking, and as we of this day may observe. Says he, many a man has a peg, but not a fitch of bacon to hang on it. It suits very well the affairs of men for all time. When Jack Johnson was a peg, but he would bring the bacon home. Did he borrow the thought of poor deluded Sancho Panza? Or did he just stumble on it? At any rate it is a forcible illustration of the peg and the bacon. Jim Jeffries had the peg all right. And many of us in other relations of life have the peg, but come home without the bacon quite as often as with it. In an article elsewhere in this issue issue is called to the difference between Tom Bowser and C. I. Taylor the former manager of the A. B. C baseball team. The article was written before Mr. Taylor arrived from the South, and based on current reports and the face of things. Until the manager's arrival in the city it was not known that he was a half owner of the team, but that he greatly changes matters. Mr. Taylor is clearly within his rights to contend for the name and the players, subject, of course, to the terms of a dissolution of partnership. It appears that the men broke apart without attempting to adjust their differences in a legal way. Both being equally interested in all respects excepting the ground lease. There is nothing wrong in what Mr. Taylor is trying to do. However, he will change the name of his club as soon as it is convenient to do so. And we think this is better, since the name is not essential to go forward in presenting We. In fact, in for taking a stand that does not mean justice. We know so well what injustice means that we view the other thing as a sort of religion—see it, know it, love it, under any and all circumstances. Roosevelt is probably beaten in Massachusetts, according to the vote for delegates to the Chicago convention, as it appeared at this writing. His vote, nevertheless, is strikingly significant because of its size, approaching the combined field under the name of unlumbered, and because it was not generally thought that he was an active candidate. It was not generally thought that there was an active campaign on in his favor. It is true that the colonel has had evidences in his favor the country over, but which were thought to be from his admirers here and there. The solid support of thousands in Massachusetts puts his candidacy in a new light, and which must be reckoned with. It is plain that the former Press with it. It is successful unpledged "big four" represents a diversity of preferential sentiment. In Illinois and Ohio Roosevelt has also bobbed up, disturbing the serenity of the political atmosphere. Elsewhere his admirers have been persistent in having it appear that he was in the running. And so far as surface indications he is the leading horse in the race. This may be only appearances, evidences of the last stand of the Progressives to have their way, even if through the Republican party. So whether these Roosevelt straws are real indications will not be known until the convention is on at Chicago. If the Roosevelt indications are genuine, not manufactured for effect, then the indications are that he is likely to sweep the convention. If otherwise the Republican cohorts will soon puncture the premature boom of the erstwhile President. The issue of the present controversy with Germany will in all probability have a determining effect on the kind of individual selected by the convention. Roosevelt is a species of a war lord, and in these days the species is taking. But at that, the country is not for war, nor is it prepared for war. The disposition is, however, that Germany shall not put it on us and rub it in to boot, prepared or not prepared. It seems fairly certain at this time that there will be a better understanding between the countries by the time the delegates assemble at Chicago. It will mean a reduction of the Roosevelt ardor. We have contended that the former President is a splendid leader in that he is magnetic, winning men by his fine personality, as it concerns his ultra patriotism. His decided and convincing ways might strike terror to the hearts of the "enemies," making for peace in short order. But this is by no means certain. He, by some, is thought to be a maniac, and because within him is preferred by them the chief executive. The unfolding events up until the convention meets will be watched with the keenest interest. MAKE A CLEAR CASE The concensus of the German press comment seems to be that President Wilson insists that Germany abandons its submarine warfare altogether. This is not the correct conclusion as we understand it. The President, while contending for an open sea as a thing of international law and a human policy, demands that the lives of Americans must not be endangered. A certain German high official a few days ago declared that Germany had already modified the warfare, and according to the demands of this country. He cited as proof the facts that only incidentally has there been a departure from the agreement and that without the consent or knowledge of his government. The inference beeing that his country was trying to carry out the contract. The question, it seems, is up to us to determine whether Germany has tried to live up to its agreement. If so we are not justified in declaring a casus bell, although an act or so transpired which were contrary to the agreement. The intent is the thing which constitutes the insult, if we may think of it in such a light, and not the actual happenings. Is Germany bent on working mischief to America? Mistakes and the acts of individual partisans are serious, but unless they can be traced to should debate a very long time before we enter on war on account of them The loss of lives, unless it amounts to a declared governmental policy to have them lost, cannot be justified by the sacrifice of many more lives. The intent in the matter is the principle, and should many more lives be lost war would not be justified as long as the loss was due to methods unindorsed and unknown to governments—the German government in this instance. The question is, is Germany acting in good faith? It gets away from the source in its explanation. It is not our business to put that governement in a hole, unless it belongs there and by its own defence. If Germany is not square with this country, merely plays with it, as some think, then ought to teach a lesson as it concerns trifling with the dignity of a great nation. But Mr. Wilson should be absolutely sure. The American press has spoken, and with practical unanimity. To stand against this solidity of conviction takes a bit of nerve. But we choose the course of making a clear case of indifference, repudiation and contempt against the Imperial government before we shoulder arms. THE TUSKEGEE FUND. The Tuskegee fund movement for Indianapolis has about closed. With reports that will follow there will be between $600 and $700 raised in this city. According to a pro rata based on a population of 10,000,000 Negroes in the country about $750 was due from this community. Viewing it in that way we came very near raising our part. Much more could have been raised if the solicitors could have found more time to spare from their employment. The work was done by teachers, lawyers, doctors, preachers, newspaper workers and business people. It was the first offering of the kind and commendable enough in view of the condition twenty or thirty years ago when such a fund to be raised among the race for such a purpose would have been unthinkable. Preachers who formerly found time only to look after their own interests were found contributing in the interest of the fund and soliciting. Lawyers who a few years ago found it difficult to get a sustaining fee gave in sums of $5,00 and up. The public school teachers exhibited a most beautiful spirit—women and men—laboring to give Indianapolis a worthy place in the affairs of the great Tuskegee. Dr. Sumner Furniss, president of the movement, felt deeply the necessity of doing something gracious in the memory of Dr. Washington. Rev. H. L. Herod, the secretary, and Dr. Brown, the treasurer, worked as zealously as if earning wages. In all and all it was a most pleasing labor, and which nothing served to check until it was fin- ished. We should also mention Secretary Taylor of the Y. M. C. A., who threw open the doors of the institution to the workers, gave his money and worked as manager of the campaign. wants to take an impartial stand. Our opinion is that Mr. Schmigelow, the governor's bosom friend, has a great deal of influence, and most likely, from the governor's silence, or rather in childhood and occupies the church he himself erased. We first and foremost Wall Street, and his work in this play A couple of colored boys were fined in the police court this week where they were charged with creating a riot in a motion picture house. It is needless to say that it was a show house by colored people. It is surprising that more of this kind of thing has not happened. We do not mean to be severe on our own folks, for the Lord knows they have it hard enough. While this is true they are not to be encouraged at breaking up their own concerns. It is well known most of the picture houses by white people do not admit colored people as patrons. This is not chargeable to the conduct of some of our people in their own show house. We are sure, however, that some of the conduct seen would not help us by the way of opening those places to our race. We would be very ashamed to see some of the conduct duplicated in white show houses. QA is not a good way to help but can tell who it is? Unfortunately Negroes are Negroes anywhere they are seen. This being true, we should be a committee of one to look after our own behavior in public places just as the white people are as a committee of one to observe us. Very little is said about the bad conduct in our theaters when it is vile enough at times to attract anybody's attention. Is it getting to the point that we are afraid of one another? If that be true, then God help us all. BEST OF THE KIND. Some time ago we had something to say concerning the condition of Negroes outside of the United States. In referring to them we had in mind our much better condition here, and also the growing restlessness in spite of our much better condition. Restlessness to an extent is absolutely necessary to an expanding people. Those who have certain policies to be enacted into laws are restless until the thing is done, and when the particular thing is done then other policies or principles follow, and which men will wish to see made into laws something after the order of an endless chain, because there will be no perfection even unto the last day. It is undue restlessness which is harmful. It is unfortunate, but true, that we cannot force matters in our own behalf. Some of us feel to ignore what has been our relationship in the past. Some are too young to know and understand what that means. Too many seem to think that the poor race condition, as they say, alone, applies to this country. Far more of us think that are the poorest, as men, as men, and as they should in the sense of idealism—the great desire. But what about the world facts of races? We are not the poorest off of our race variety. We are as millionaires compared with Negroes elsewhere. Of course, this hampered condition of being merely better situated—faring better generally—is not in keeping with the right views of manhood and citizenship. But our superior condition should teach a valuable lesson—more than one. Through it we learn that since the world began, so to speak, there has been race prejudice. There is no way to escape it. We can labor to reduce it so that it may not seriously impede our vocations and pleasures; it is the best to be hoped for under the circumstances. When we labor with that thing in mind, the best possible condition for the individual, keeping in mind the fortitude of an effort to make for a mutual oneness in all respects, then we have done the very best thing to be done. And so long as there is a steady advance, regardless of the years, to this good, we may be sure that we are progressing. Not long since we called attention to the conditions of the Negroes in the Danish West Indies. The rural districts were especially meant, and where the greater number lives. We tried to show that our rural people were infinitely better off than those of the urban and simply as one more proof of the vastly better condition in our country. This is not meant as a reflection. As Negroes we have an interest in the race wherever it may be found. We spoke of an industrial disturbance in the isle, and what was called, by some a strike. In some sense it was a strike, but really it was an industrial revolution. The Negroes found it impossible to live on the wages paid them, consequently it was a move for actual existence, and not a mere act of defiance. States by striking men. We quote in part what the Herald, a publication of that island had to say concerning the movement: wants to take an impartial stand. Our opinion is that Mr. Schleigelow, the governor's bosom friend, has a great deal of influence, and most likely, from the governor's silence, or rather inactivity on the part of the laborers, has exercised that influence upon his friend, and in that case the question, 'Can the governor really take care to stop the appalling misery?' The answer for labor were mentioned on the other time; they were such that the people could not get away from rags, at least. When conditions call for tears we may be sure that they are bad. The troubles have been somewhat adjusted. The new code of rules under which they work do not reflect a bit of credit on the old code. It will be understood that these laborers have found it necessary to form unions like our coal miners. They formulate rules and submit them to the land owners. They have to do with the feet of ground for the laborer's own use; his coming and going, and other things have proved helpful in getting away from conditions that were unbeatable. We know of nothing like this in the good old United States, where land may be had for a song, and where we come and go as we please. SHAKESPEARE'S "OTHELLO" PRESENTED AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE THIS WEEK. Regular Stock Company Playing In Washington, D.C. At the Theater, Theatre (By Jack Trotter.) This week marks the real beginning of the tercentery celebration of the greatest man of all time in English literature, Sir John Marar and High Schools, Colleges and Churches vie with each other in the theatre that have thrown open their doors not to say anything of the many theatres that have thrown open their doors to play from Shakespeare's mighty pen.

Mr. Wilbur Wright, the young Colonel of the recent recipient of public praise from the great English actor, Sir Beerbom Tree, for his excellent interpretation himself in the role of Othella.

AT THE NEW LINCOLN THEATRE Miss Sutton, Versatile Single, Holds the Light That Many of Her Sister and Brother Performers May Find the Way to Better Success The Lincoln Stock Company Opens in the Great Four-Act Heart Searching Melodrama 'St. Elmo." Charles Gilpin Has Successful Week. (By Jack Trotter). (New York City Special.) When Miss Susie Sutton came to the New York City theater, she brought with her those long wanted things which the management had named only a fortnight previous, as the requisition necessary for her to play the role. The future have—good costumes, brand new songs, good dialogues and monologues with a nice voice. Miss Sutton's act is neat, not to say novel. The things which she features with an unusual degree of charm are songs that are easy to hear, leaving to the long suffering Colored patrons of vaudeville and gratifying to those managers who have had the honor of booking Never before has the Lincoln Stock Company played to an audience will be able to watch the opening performance of St. Elmo. For breath baiting realism and support by the strong cast who make up the New Lincoln's stock players, we believe, gave as keen and thrilling a performance as any across by any other company on the globe, which has shared the same discontagues of drama with the acting of a stride from the light ally comedy drama which pictured New York "white light discontagues" of the Theatre last week, under the title of "A Warning to Women," in the deep impressive lines of Mrs. Evans's subtitle, "A Warning to the Stride." Made the stride and the more to their credit—made it successfully. Standing room was the long beige before the curtain came to ascend. But we availed ourselves of a good point of vantage in that part allotted by the director, to glide to the spot we saw the scenes which in our mind's eye we had pictured when many years ago we read for the first time the strange story childhood and occupies the pulpit of the church he himself erected. Now to say a word about the people he mentions first and foremost Walker Thompson in the title role, and we pronounce work since his lovable and convincing portrayal of "Bud Carey." His elegante indicates that he must have put forth extreme effort in his study of the role, and his characterization was most appreciated in his work as capital as the impulsive Gordon Leigh, and his comedy scenes were greatly appreciated. In his work she is accustomed to each, to great advantage, and her admirers always have something in her work Edna Eda ewl sweet, but in her strongest scenes on Monday she was not quite sure of her lines, but that will be good, good double, playing Murray Hammond, and later Allan Hammond. The play underlined for next week is a comedy drama, entitled "A Girl With Mr. Charles Gilpin, late leading man returned to the field of vaudeville and is presenting for the first half of this weekend at the field of Deacon and Deacon at the Race Track." Mr. Gilpin, with his race track monologue, would be the best suited style. For the latter half Mr. Gilpin doubled with his partner, Miss Lillian versus Insurance." TAYLOR'S A. B.

Evans thinks of adding an act or so by way of entertainment in the public room, invites the public to drop in and see him. Sam Evans, now at the Pioneer as manager, also threatens to break out in vaudeville. He is in charge of a company manager, two acts with pictures ought to Go. The Washington Theater, Indianapolis, Opens Up Vaudeville—Good Acts as a Whole—Some Bright Spots. Vaudeville is in full swing again in this city, after a full of about five months. The Washington Theater, formerly the Grover Yard, is the seasethe outlook is good for favorable business. The proprietor, Riley Roberts, is a new one in the game, and he promises something new in vaudeville management. He still clings to his picture business, which he has been conducting successfully for several years, having had three houses in the meanwhile. He outgrew two of them, hence third, the present Washington. He is giving one show each evening, it beginning at about 10:30 a startling hour, according to past custom. This is one of Mr. Riley's innovations. It remains to be seen whether this plan succeeds. At the appointed hour the picture show orchestra was relieved by the conductor, Gary Violinist, J. W. Gay, violinist, took the directing stand. Albert Johnson, familiarly called "Fess" for profession, took his seat at the piano. Frank Clay, cornetist, and Richard A. Moore, ace Roberts, traps, were the other members of the orchestral family. The familiar strains of the erstwhile titlating Crown Garden musicians floated the building, reaching the street as they did in the bulmy days of yore. THE BLACK MAN TIM MOORE. TIM AND GERTIE MOORE. The closing is another one of those exquisite song duos, the arrangement of the song is so pleasing operatic touch although done in a playful mood. This seeming carelessness on the part of these two singers is a great success. This song is Sydney Perrins' CORNIE BAILEY. GERTIE MOORE big song success, "I Am Going Back iana."

The little vital spot, as Miss Johnson is now styled, is that all right at the playhouse. When she appeared opening night it was evident that she had staled her foot in every way, the lady is even a dausee, one of the very best of our race.

Her act consists of four turns all which are interesting and pleasing, her costing is varied, appropriate and GEORGE RICHARDSON George Richardson, a one legged perfor- former, opened the bill.

The King Players in "Ten Nights in a Barroom." King and Gee Score Again. After an absence of a month, those universal favorites, Misses Eiffle King and notch's sister team in the country, returned to the Howard and were received with the ovation that has been flashed on a Washington screen. Notwithstanding that they opened their season upon the occasion of their reopening, they forward a brand new act in keeping with their policy never to "repeat" as and the theatre during their run. Their costumes, their costumes, therefore, as well as their music and interpretative dances, were spiked and span, the last word in neatness, and the last word in fashion worn by the vivacious artists are the work of Miss Lucy Mallory Morris, of New York, who stands in the modern stage, and all of her designs are distinctively Parisienne. This week, the Misses King and Gee appeared as the beautiful stage picture, seated a la "Romeo and Juliet" on the proscenium steps, being particularly effective. The stage was a beautiful blue while engaged professionally. They are the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Powell, 2022 Ninth street, northwest Annapolis, Md., Baltimore and Philadelphia for the next few weeks. Miss Theresa Burroughs-Brooks, as an ingene artist, has won fame throughout the land and has been composed very fittingly with Mary Pickford, who calls that art for vivacity, physical daunting and spright-like dancing. She has become a warm favorite at the nation's best drawing cards of the Billy King cards of the talented players. She is stopping Taisy W. Henson, 645 Floridia avenue, New York, recipient of numerous social courtries. FOOTLIGHT FLASHES Lew Henry has gone to New York city. S. H.

Miss Lyllyn Brown and Billy DeMont are doing a vaudeville turn on the New England circuit. Miss Rora Motley closed with the Drake-Walker company at the end of the engagement at the Blue Mouse and will make this city her future home. Edward Tolliver is one of Billy King's latest recruits and is proving to be a valuable acquisition. He is one of the race's best character actors. Misses Gertie Saunders and Estelle Harris, leaders in the King players, formed a "sister team" overnight and are putting in a successful week at Dudley's. Sam Gray and Miss Ora Dunlop, now playing "leads" with the Smart Set, are organizing a summer company and will organize from their general headquarters for the season. Miss Evan Robinson's Darktown beauties are again at the Dart They went big last week at the Amphion theatre in New York city and are now the Grand Opera house, in Gotham, they are at the Howard in the near future. "The Birth of a Nation" is "in our midst"—an unwelcome guest, as far as the contestants are concerned. The contestants were numerous and determined, but the authorities said there was no law to keep the film—or "dith-out," and here it is. Will H. Kyer, the noted composer, ran down from New York and spent two days in the hospital with the "aid of" several days here following her work with Miss King, at the Howard. Mr. Kyer returned to the "city" city, on Thursday and King and Gee, the two brothers, both of whom they are booked for the last half of this week. Miss Evan Robinson's new act, reorganized from former forces and others from the "Darktown Follies," the New York last week and said to be "the best of the best." One of the best known members of the company is Miss Irma Baptiste, who was a leader of Leubrie Hill's "Follies" seventh album at the Howard in the near future and will be given a warm welcome here, where Miss Robinson is "at home." Miss Gertrude Saunders, a genius in handling a wide range of characters in her plays, has earned the genuine historic talent, is one of the centers of attraction of the Billy King players. She has received many commendations, including theomatic critics in the east, west and south, and is rated as "indispensable" by manager King, who knows no one better than she does. They can "put over" the productions he offers to the public—and he is "some judge" of individual capabilities and possibilities of a performer. The Broadway players, featuring Miss Abbie Mitchell, Creighton Thompson, and Chernault, W. A. Cooke, and others, equally well known, come to theHoward theater. The initial presentation will be the successful Broadway production, "Under Cover," now running at the New York theater. The players will stage this thrilling drama in their second offering at the Howard. The best musical team that has appeared in this city in many moons is made up of Matt Housley and Ralph Nicholas, who carry all before them like a family. He is an that was lively, classy and original. They use only the finest of instruments and know how to get the best results from grand opera to the traditional "raar" and they inject a neat bit of humor into their musical output. Both are polished gentlemen and are proud of their stay here. Mr. Housley will be remembered as one of the Original Housley brothers, seven in number, all gifted musicians, whooured the country several years ago. He is now the last of the family. ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER. One good turn deserves another. After spending a few weeks in Arkansas and Texas we have crossed over into the state of Oklahoma. Haven't had only about a month of experience above the average. At Wichita Falls, Texas, the heaviest rain of the season prevented what would have been our banner week. With Smart Set, we practically washed out, but the next how, however, instead of going to the next town, we commenced a spite of the inclement weather. The show is running like clockwork after several changes in the first and last act made by Mr. Young, the manager, and producer. Little Ben Young who is affectionately called "Cat On the Wire," is pulling off some on stunts on the slack wire when he will soon have a Miss Cat on the wire. Riley Roberts, Prop.

By some has been rejected; Their room for doubt I cannot see. Since Villa's resurrected. A rifle ball first knocked him out, But it was not suspected. Until the news brought by scout Said: "Villa's resurrected." Then next he died by traitor's hand; The lie was not detected Till some of Pershing's command, Proved Villa resurrected. Ganga then came to lay him low. From wounds too long neglected; But soon the news struck like a blow. That he was resurrected. Game word, that in some desert waste, His grave had inspected; He was sent to Brunswick "in haste." Read: "Villa's resurrected." The skeptics have been put to rout. No room left for objections; The tale is proved beyond a doubt By Villa's resurrections. But I am bound to live up to what light I have; I must stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right. And part with him when he goes wrong." ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Do you love life? Do then not squander time. For that is the stuff Life is made of. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. The Tasmanian Trio, versatile entertainers and Arabian tumblers are playing in and around Boston with great success. The Trio is the best cellist of the highest saturated in colored vaudeville. The members of George Braxton and Clifford Clifford. Miss Fannie Winkle, the noted soprano, is starring with Dumbar's Tennessee Titans. Miss Carrie Stith, the popular vaudevillian, is at home in Boston, Mass., with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Carrie Stith, the manager of colored companies for many years. He was the first to bring Jolly to Africa, and the "Trip to Africa" show. Since that time he has engaged in several other theatrical enterprises with much success. He has large colored production under canyas the coming summer season. the Old South theater, making good in the city famous for its baked beans. Thomas, McDonald and Thomas, a comedy class, rio singers and dancers and a movie theater throughout the New England states. Marshall and Santerlee are playing at the theater. The legitimate drama has been stirring colored New York to the depths of its own imagination. Miss Anita, the dainty vaudevillian, conceived the idea of introducing the legitimate drama to the patrons of the company colored New York, and organized a compost stock company they introduced several dramas with flattering success. Miss Bush surprised her closet with a new drama, acting the heroine roles in the several dramas she produced. The Lafayette management thought she would follow suit and Chas. L. Gilpin of Pekin fame, was engaged to organize the company, and directed the Lafayette patrons. The venture was an artistic and financial success from its initiative. Now Mr. Ed Sterling Wright begins to animate the adaptation of the imperial William Shakespeare's master drama, "Othello," by Negro players, for the company. The director or the Shakespearean Tercentenary festival Voelkel, former manager of the world's famous Black Patti Troubadours, is promoting the production. The event is creating more than unusual interest among the "great" in the company. No doubt there will be many white lovers of Shakespeare, who will avail themselves of the opportunity "Othello" done by colored players. Many will come to laugh, others from the audience, but they are really interested in the progress colored players are making or have made in the legitimate drama. There are many performers who have genuine atrinsic interest but have not yet been able to display their talent. If it were possible to select the best of the colored actors, they would be able to try there would be no doubt of the artistic success of the coming "Othello." But this is not possible and if the failure it will not necessarily obtain that colored players have not yet reached the place where they are coming to play.

(By Ralph Redmond.) We have just received direct from Chicago, our new soft steel equipped Exposition Pullman car, which is with-standing. We have also best equipped show cars in the business. Our show, under the management of F. Huntington, our congenial and pattern executive, has been consecutive week in Texas and although we don't have the S. R. O. sign, we have been congenial and captionally good business. Mr. Huntington is a manager, or one of the few managers, who realize that a street is a place to be. He caters to a successful career for a show, but he believes in both band and show. He caters to all good musicians and believes in his audiences everywhere and makes the show that comes behind us tired of hearing the people praising Sweet Papa and as good as Huntington's. These are facts that can be truthfully proven by the show that is improving his show. He is ably assisted with such competent people as William Saddler, Rustus Lee, Warren Wirgs, our interlocutor, and Rufus Wirgs, our interlocutor. ers and the vaudeville stage and musical comedy are not exactly schools for the legitimate. The percentage of comedic roles is manifestly smaller than the whites. And it isn't possible to get this small percentage together at any one time. Mr. Wright is recognized as a Shakespearean delineator of real merit and he has selected his associate playwright to expect the company to equal or excell those of James K. Hackett or Sir Herbert Tree, but there is little doubt that colored players will do creditable work. The following is what the New York Tribune has to say of the coming progeny of "Othello" by the colored players: Tree Fills Shoes of Negro Actors With Speech Praising Their Project—Hiss Amateur Wit, Cheer Mrs. Campbell—Crowds Pay Tribute to English Players, but Rebuke One of Their Own Race. New York is soon to have a third Shakespearean company to vie with James K. Hackett and Sir Herbert Tree. A stock company of Negro actors, the company is morning and producing modern drama in the evening at the big Lafayette avenue and 133th street. After "Othello" they will give "Romeo and Juliet" and at the close of the season they intend as St. Louis. The country as far as St. Louis. A performance of "Othello" was scheduled, but the anticipation of what was to be the first serious dramatic effort of the Negro race in America the stage boxes were filled with actors of the Shakespearean campbell, several of Sir Herbert's company and directors of the Shakespearean show and "sacred concert" on Sunday evenings, the guardians of civic morals will not tolerate a serious drastic persecution. Tree Speaks on Shakespeare. At 9 o'clock the English actor left his box and spoke before the audience on the genius of Shakespeare. The audience marked contrast to the exuberance of a few minutes before with which they had lissed off the stage actor of his generation, who was little too crude to please them. At the close of Sir Herbert's remarks he introduced Wright, a small but dignified actor who was to have played the role of the jealous "We live in a wonderful age," said Mr. Tree. "I am sure that with all his imagination Shakespeare never contended that century would honor his name by playing one of his greatest tragedies." He lice regulations Sir Herbert concluded: "I am delighted to witness the evidence of the high prosperity, the education and the reach of the people reached. It is a magnificent thing that realize that Shakespeare will be played on these boards. I hope that all of you will learn to love him and the works of Shakespeare." Mrs. Campbell Cheered. After the audience had cheered Mrs. Clement and had received a smile and a bow in their hands, an accent that savored slightly of seventh avenue, but with an emphasis on the speeches. Changing from Braakatti's doddering duchess to the duke's magisterial voice and Otello's eloquent pleading with startling rapidity, the actor wound himself up. Though the actor's difficult recital indicated that he could play Otello, he moved with his introductory voice, which echoed the words of a famous Negro poet of the Latin-American race: "I am a man, and whatever interests mankind interests." The Negro people are American citizens, and they said Mr. Wright. "They are law-biding, patriotic and as capable of being an arce in the world." The manager of the Lafayette Theater, Eugene Moore, is enthusiastic about the career of the actor in the serious production of drama. At the production of "Taid in Full" he house had been crowded to capacity, and on Saturday, 1,500 people had been there as way to be heard what the police reserves had to call out to persuade the Negro enthusiasts to give up trying to get in the first escapes here as way to be heard. Some all the way from Philadelphia, so far had the fame of the company reached. Sparks, tuba; Sanny Morris, snare; John A.

A DOZEN DAYS WITH THE SAINTS IN INDIANAPOLIS. (By Dr. Ira M. Hendon.) When we say that the few days spent with the saints in the city of indianapolis, F. L. Morris, the efficient pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, overshadows all previous meetings in our ministry, we are simply putting our trust in them together with Christ in these parts, delight in doing things for the Master with the tone and dignity that becometh the saints. Upon our visit to Shiloh Baptist church, the bishop of Shiloh Baptist church, met us at the church, a faithful home in Highland Place, where sister Morris and Mother Barnes, held in readiness things comfortable for a well-worn family, lived away in a feather bed well prepared on a typical Southern order. The city and many other things attractive that just suited a Southern preacher. Our Meeting At Shiloh. For more than ten days the Lord led us in storming the city. Night after night we poured gospel shots into the city, and the Lord's presence shocks could be heard all over the city. Surely the Lord was in this place, for he was the Lord of our lives and daughters were borne into the Kingdom of our God, and the church was in storming hours and we wonderfully in hours of our stars. With such an organizer and untiring leader as Floyd Morris, his good wife, a little Baptist giant; men like Concors, the pastor of the church; Mike Miller, Wilson and many others of both men and women. This church will easily take first rank in point of service. This church choir leads in singing, and the choir is a part of this, however, can be accounted for, as the organist, Madam Grubb, is a daughter of Texas and the singers hall from Old Kentucky, mixed with Indians. They are "Hummers" and make up a The Ministers' Alliance. The first Monday in the city we had the pleasure of meeting the Ministers' Alliance of the city, where the angels of God came every Monday with Ebenezer Baptist church, where Dr. J. Hoder is pastor. They meet and plan for things of the kingdom, body and Dr. F. L. Morris is secretary, surrounded by the veteran pastors, Drs. Seymour and Broyles, whose administration covered more than a quarter of a century each. Dr. Farrell, the prince of pastors, holds forth with these good men supported by a strong body. Elders Holder, McLawier, Renfro, Johnson and our old friend Dr. William Z. Thomas, who up a strong fight for the Lord in this city. They have the crowds and other things needed and they land heavy upon satanic influence in the body the following Monday at 11 o'clock and we did our best. The Lord used us in an old-fashion way. The meeting was an important reminder of the kindness of these goodly men, even to our grave and beyond. The Second Baptist Church. The Race and Conditions As We Viewed It. The business side of the race as we viewed it towers up in wealth and health, and the most important cities. Our people in this city control their part well. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers and business concerns of every description make good homes and are still buying. Many other sections should go up to Indianapolis and get lessons of living from these splendid cities. We live in the home of four colored journals—Freeman, Recorder, World MADAM C. J.

Walker, at 108-110 West 186th street, New York City. and Ledger. They fight the race's battles like a German army, unfinchingly. The Y. M. C. A. It was our good pleasure to visit the building of the Young Men's Christian Association, also to hear the appeals of our students, the secretary and learn from others their needs. This, in my judgment, is a needed and a worthy cause, a splendid organization for men, and is doing good for our students. We name our names and sometime get a bit careless. For fear that our good name be blighted, the parent bodies should look after us. Ministers can do better this matter. The Public School System. The school system in Indianapolis leads many cities. Our men and women work out discrimination. Some work without discrimination. Some the women schools in the land are found here, I am told. Our own Texas school man, W. E. Grubbs, holds the chair as head of the school. As we see things, we will return to Indianapolis some day soon. We have an invitation. Our friend F. L.
