In answer, he said: "Since industry and commerce are relied upon by modern nations, and the possession of wealth and vocation are so advenient, the commercial and economic enterprise, and the arts and sciences which have for their life should be emphasized throughout the course of public and private education."

Special to The Freeman: Susquehanna Institute, Alabama, April 29—One of the most unexpected contributions to the Booker T. Washington a few days ago when the sum of $500 was contributed under rather unusual circumstances. The institution represented a part of the savings of the late Mary Strater who died last January in her eighty-fourth year in Newark, New Jersey, when New Jersey was a slave state. At the age of twelve years she became the property of a prominent family of that city. Later, this family moved to Massachusetts and Miss Strater, then a servant in Newark, remained a servant and remained with them as servant and inmate until her death, the time of her death her savings had accumulated in quite a tidy sum and it was her wish that a part of this family be approved upon her in improving the condition of her race in the South. A member of this family, whom Miss Strater pursued during her child, has sent for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund the sum of $500 toward commending upon him, Hon. Seward Jewett, his writing on behalf of the board of trustees in special acknowledgment to the staff. "I observe that she (Miss Strater) wished her savings to be given to aid in improving her health and I write to express, on behalf of the board of trustees, our appreciation of the fact that you have contributed to the history, seems to me peculiarly interesting." The returns from the campaign for some of the most important encounters during the past week by the contributions from school children following the campaign to houses of city and rural districts on April 5th. Accompanying these contributions are the most interesting letters telling of the great love for our late Princess Charlotte, of their great desire to give something, no matter how modest, to children, of their great desire to give something, no matter how modest, to children, of their great desire to give founded. "Our children have given meagerly but eagerly and out of the fullness of their hearts," writes one These children have set an example for the men and women of the race and it is hoped and urged that the Local Government organizations in all parts of the country, together with the members of the National Negro Business League may not overlook any opposition to the campaign before the members of the race in their cities. It is and should be so regarded a privilege and an opportunity to contribute to this fund as a mark of respect for the service and sacrifice of Dr. Washington's life. ENID, OKLA.

D., Before the Graduating Classes of Mehary Medical College at Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tenn., Thursday Night, April 27, 1916. Twelve years ago I delivered the address to the graduating class in this medical department, 9 in the dental, 8 in the pharmaceutical, making a total of 75 candidates for graduation. To the medical department, 30 in the dental, 17 in the pharmaceutical, and 5 in the Nurse Training course, making a total of 132, appear to indicate a significant height in their medical appliances, but in the character and qualifications of those who come to study at the institution standard literary preparation and equipment to enter its departments. Thus progress is the practice of Mehary and onward Poets and artists have always delighted to picture to himself the beauty of loveliness, in the foreground of which they generally place some happy maid, sitting in a chair, singing a lullaby, hour, singing merrily at the wheel or sewing only as a pastime or pleasant excuse to be silent, to meet the sweet and gentle music. But who can describe the weary never-ending toll of him who founded him but short to him because he told of the labor which engrossed the day that appeared so long to others which broke far into the quiet hours set apart for him by nature for the relief of his body and the rest of his mind? His trust in Providence gave him strength for his laborious work, and assured him of the possibility if not the certainty of the school's success. And his faith all his teacher and purer through all his tellers. This commencement marks the fortieth anniversary of Meharrar, the most well-known all-heathman, has addressed himself to the task of preparing men for the medical profession.

By hard study and persistent application you have completed courses in the most advanced education the most Meharry has done for you has been to help and stimulate you to be independent and independent action. The highest efficiency is not possible so much, as by your own diligent self education when you go forth into the world for four years you have been looking to this night with eager expectation. Now you have the opportunity to go out to follow your professions. It is not necessary for me to remind you your duties, but it does not mean, for you have come, to commence the education of your careers; you have done it. Medical Science which is as boundless as the creation of God. Going out from here tonight the thought uppermost in your minds is success and success each one of them is a challenge if you are willing to pay the price. The price of success is strenuous individual application, the challenge of ordinary qualities, persistence in effort, work in the trust spirit, and by exercising 'hard common sense'; fortune is on the side of the industrious just as the wind and waves are on the side of the best navigators. Success does not happen when what sometimes called "a happy hit," but it is the result of sedulous attention and the ones who were a genius but too modest to confess it. On being asked how he had worked our his wonderfully intelligent thinking unto them." Continuing said the great discoverer, "If I have done the public any service, I am not a patient, but industrious." As much as you may desire success in your job, you must deities success may resort to questionable means to attain it and success at all hazards. You must deities success in the highest sense, is no success at all. One of the wisest maxim of deities should "reverence himself".

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER defile your bodies by sensuality nor pollute our minds by servile thoughts, and it will be found at the foundation of honor, integrity, cleanliness, sobriety, chastity, morality, and religion, which will be found in your right effort. It lies along the highway of steadfast well-doing and if you rely on yourselves, your own independent energies, habits of industry and attention to business details, must not be measured in dollars and cents only; not merely in the number of sucessful patients healed; not merely in the skillful execution of some difficult piece of dental surgery or the compounding of subtle prescriptions, but also in the skillful execution of some difficult nomine reforms; and in contributing all the good you can to the people among whom you may be located. It is the component part of a system of mutual dependencies, and by his acts, he either increases or diminishes the sum of human good now If any member of this class either before or after accumulating a competence from the people uninterested to their welfare, neutral to the social and ecological environment, or a member will invite a trail of evil influences the end of which he may not live to see or trace. The art of seizing opportunities and the ability to turn accidents to account so as to bend them to some noble purpose is a great secret of success. If you are resolved to find a way in the world for yourselves, you will find opportunities enough for improvement in your professions and for helping others. We can furnish an excellent example of this principle in the career of the late Dr. R. R. Gradus, a graduate of courage and diligent application he built up a large and lucrative practice in this city in 1882 by the civic and religious life of the people; became the recognized leader of the race in its business and material activity of all the people. It is said of him that he neither used tobacco in any form nor indulged in alcoholic liquors. It is said that he should raise himself from the humble walks of life to the position of a distinguished surgeon, eminent practitioner, business enterprises, encourager and helper of all worthy benevolences, and, at the time of his death, be recognized as the master of the medical field of the medical sciences. Here, what a man gains he gains by the sheer force of his own character and by the man who has gone. In your professions the real man is discovered, his rank is decreed, the people demand that you shall know what to do and how to do it. Here are two distinguished men out of many who overcame opposition and severe criticism, worked their way to eminent positions and achieved the highest professional. Whether you make an original contribution to medical science, whether you succeed in your professions, or accept positions of leadership where you locate, you will succeed. Booker T. Washington used to tell the story of a friend of his who lived in Washington. One day his friend went to the proprietor and bargained to supply him with roses and delicacy. The proprietor asked, "How many can you furnish?" The vender reloaded if that many were desired. But when he delivered them he had only six. The proprietor looked at them and then asked: "Where are the other frogs, you only bring six?" "Well, boss, it is this," he replied. "I had heard those bull frogs in a pond near my home for months and they made so much noise that at least a million, but when I came to investigate I found only six." So when the voice of criticism came and to positions of usefulness, and to positions of usefulness, and to stamped but take time to investigate and like the praise of one man to justify you in carrying out your plans.

Bishop Phillips, in his address to the graduates, paid tribute to the Medal of Honor, which he has built up the medical school, and to the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, who was the best known physician of his alma mater. He also urged that physicians should be as moral, truthful and reliable as the physicians of the success of the physician must not be measured by dollars and cents only. Bishop Phillips is himself a graduate of the University of Calgary and of Walden University, and has two sons, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr. St. Louis, and Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr. Calgary, also, who are edical graduates of the school. The subject of the address was "After graduation, What Next?" and was as follows: K. OF P. GRAND LODGE MEETING OF LOUISIANA—SIR S.

A delegation from the Grand Court of Calanthe, headed by Mrs. Mary P. Reed, brought fraternal greetings and elicitations from the community themselves as being so well pleased with the work being done by the Pythians that the grand Court stood in the spotlight for a thousand dollars at any time.

Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a success wherever they have been introduced. They are in the city or town where they are used by giving better and quicker results. Our goods and methods in treating the scalp are known to be far superior to any other system on the market. Our agents are all successful and and the trouble is that we have a large large tree that is a known fact that we teach them more about the care of the soak than the treatment of the hair. Our agents understand the different deceases of scalp as the doctor does the body. By doing this, we can bring how their scalp feels and the action they our agents are able to explain to them of such actions acts so and the cause of such actions agent studies all the papers we send to concerning the different diseases and the cause of them they don't have to guess what the scalp, but they know at a glance at scalp and by the costumer explaining how they act. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition. Some people are of the opinion that when you grow not the other. The trouble lies in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp is treated the treatment the hair is forced to grow. The main thing in getting the scalp in is using the right kind of shampoo. We often use it, using the right kind of shampoo, so many is why they fall. Our shampoo softens the hair, cures humor, slight softens the eczema, it opens the pores in the scalp, softens the scalp of all impurities. We give our scalp pads for making tonics for the combing but bad cases of tetter and eczema so when the tumer comes in with such a bad case the shampoo can not cure up fast enough, the tumer comes in with any extra charges to the costumer. These tonics are not sold by agents to the tumer. We apply them to effect cure when we apply them. Those who wish to give our goods to send $1 for a five assorted shipment, we desire the agency send for terms. Address all mail to Mme. T. G. Brambleford 4. N. West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.

KNOX, HUBLISHER ANO MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. “il mater shoal bo addrowed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone SSO, ———————— SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1916. ‘The result of the vote of the House of Representatives at Washington on the Philippine bill was rather salutary as it concerns the darker races, in that there is not much disposition to discard them. ‘To be wanted amounts to something sometimes. Judge Robert 8. Tuthill, of the cir- cuit court of Chicago, has concluded to set aside his decision that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's works. Now that erstwhile discordant note is duly attuned, let’s on with the great festival of rememberance giving honor to whom honor it is due. ‘The de facto Mexican government is not a Ittle worried because of the continued presence of United States soldiers in its borders notwithstanding the fact that the object of the occu- pation has not been accomplished. Villa has not been caught, and which is a very necessary thing, or its equi- valent by way of a quiet that insures against another invasion of American territory. ‘The occupation is _unfortu- nate, since it has the appearance of invasion, but it could not have been different’ under the circumstances. ‘There is no division of sentiment as it concerns this phase of the Mexican situation, The country is as one in the support of the President. ‘The judge of a superior court at Los Angeles, Cal,, in a recent decision bearing on segregation, maintained the general principle that the attempt to restrain the right to sell or lease in the hands of the buyer is against the policy of the law, and that for this rea- son the restriction in the deed which sought to prevent Negroes, Chinamen or Japanese from buying or leasing the property, is void. ‘The decision goes further and holds that the restric- tion is vold upon the ground that it denies to certain classes of citizens privileges enjoyed by other classes, and hence violates the Federal and State Constitutions’ inhibitions, Now it the United States Supreme Court comes through it will be up with that feature of civil iniquitles. President Wilson made one of his characteristic speeches before the young women at Washington this ‘week. He was in admirable mood, let- ting fall many expressions of both value and beauty. Among them was the following: “I never have had the slightest doubt of what would happen when America called upon those of her citi zens born in other countries to come to the support of the flag. Why, they will come with cheers; they will make us realize that America has once more been cried awake out of every sort of distemper and dream and distraction, and that any man who dares tamper with the spirit of America will be cast out of the confidence of a great nation upon the instant. “I beliéve that a certain spiritual re- generation {s golng to come out of thig thing.” ‘The recent Irish disturbance by way of a small rebellion was very poorly timed from the patriot’s viewpoint. ‘The sober thoughtful of that race have concluded about the same thing wher. ever they are. In the more recent days Ireland has not had very much reason for complaint about political Uberty. ‘That the head of the king. dom is not of the Irish race is about all of which latter day Irishmen can complain, The country has the same advantages that are enjoyed by Scot land and Wales and, perhaps, greater in view of the contentious spirit. Can- ada, which is made up of people of the same fibre as that of the citizens of our country, seems happy in its re lationship, appearing like the elder daughter of a family helping in keep: ing the household well regulated. Australia 1s not different, nor the many many other possessions of Great Brit. ain. It was a very untimely mixup. But it bespeaks the spirit of many of that people whose wounds are more {maginary than real. ‘The House of Representatives at Washington, this week, defeated the measure having for its’ purpose the granting of independence to the Phil ippines at some definite time In the near future, The result was somewhat surprising in view of the/stand of the Senate and the known wishes of Presi. dent in the matter. However, nothing of principle is lost of the practically guaranteed Philippine independence, since the date of the happening is simply moved up, and doubtless for the best. ‘That it is indefinitely moved up will not, we think, be sop to those who insists that wherever the flag is put that it stay put. This in the in: stance, would mean repudiation, thing governments can no more do than first. class business concerns, or men of integrity. The promise is no less to the world than to the islanders. ‘We are naturally interested because the Filipinos are a dark race, an_un- assimilable people, so to speak. They have been referred to as “niggers.” ‘This being true the Negroes of this country can get some consolation of the temporary defeat which means that the dark citizens are not undesir. ables on account of their nationality. STRAIGHTENING THE HAIR. Qne of our contemporaries has taken ‘us seriously to talk because our pub- ication carries so many advertise- ments that concern preparations for the hair. In the first place we cannot understand how it is so deeply inter- ested. We might be even more point. ed and say some yery unpleasant things as it has done. We will not ‘do so, but spend our efforts in seeing the hair growing people righted. ‘We say seeing them righted because the publication yells “fake,” as it the patrons did not know whether they were buncoed. It we would arraign the race’ for vanity, or had that publication insisted on nature having {ts course, there would, perhaps, be some reason for at tacking the hair growers. But vanity is in the world and verily our race is not the total possessor of the crop. ‘The world, the female portion, is practically one-stress to appear well; and they have a method in their mad. ness. Many women can get by be cause. of the charms nature has en dowed them with. Others find it nec essary to eke out; their lesser endow. ment by various artifices. ‘This is done, in the most part, because of man's, stern behest, manifested in one way or the other. Paint and powder have played no small ‘part in the. so: cial economy, Hair, whether true 01 false, has been more eloquent at times than ‘the avowals of love. In fact the woman's queendom is her boudoir, and without, which, with all of its ramif cations, would spell ruin. Why mer leave home is at times chargeable to the woman who neglects the duties of her office in holding man to her. ‘Our women have learned man’s ter rible secret. They have discovered that he is not nearly so unsentimental as he pretends. They have dis covered that he is very, very decided in his preferences. ‘And in these days, if a colored woman does not do something to her hair that is too inclined to curl, and also to make it grow, she will find her row very difficult ‘to hoe. It is cruel and wrong to insist that the hair preparations are fakes. ‘They may not do all that they are advertised to do, but there is not the least doubt about the straightening. Many of the patrons claim that their hair has been made to grow by the preparations. ‘The straightening, which any one may see, is not a fake; it may be vanity. But we do not think so unless all ef forts at beanty making is vanity. ‘There are nature purists among the race, just as there are among the white people who call in no art what ever to help them out in a would-be beauty pinch, but they are not the rule. ‘A word from the women is more fit ting than from the men, or some man who may be blessed with the genero sity of nature all about him. THE LAW’S TOUCH. Discriminations without the touch of the law would be a condition that could be endured somewhat complais: antly. And this is particularly true in the North where for more than one reagon there Is a different relationship between the races. We must concede that thick populations of Negroes, the greater part of which has not taken high rise in civilization, works for spe- cial laws. The past relationship of the races in the South is ever a remin. der, serving to establish, or to make hard and fast rules that in time even: tuate into special laws. While this is true there is but little necessity for the law to step in and mandate the people this way or that. It is never the proper attitude for race leaders to concede that the laws should not operate horizontally in spite of the possible necessity of ex. ceptions as evidenced by “Jim-crow’ cars and suffrage tests which are gen erally known in the South. However race leaders havo given into those things, and, perhaps with a conscious ness that they are not without some cause. ‘That is, to say, those systems are uncomplainingly endured or with: out great complaint, the acquiescence being interpreted as meaning that they do not come about without ¢ shadow of necessity, and according tc what we have already said. ‘This view of it is more than speculative, Many thoughtful members of our race have actually admitted that they would openly approve the “jim crow” car system if it barred merely the bad acting Negroes from the quict and genteel disposed of whatever race. ‘Then again, there are thoughtful mem- bers of the race who have assailed the thing of general suffrage just as white men have done. But none of those things are right in the sight of the genius of this gov: ernment which has always had in mind the equality of man, and such as he could not be deprived of except through his own unlawful acts. ‘A condition and not a theory con fronts us; it fs the point. “Jim crow” laws and peculiar suffrage tests, to be true, are the touch of the laws that so deeply hurt. We have put up with them, and for the reasons given. But it is the new evidences of thé law's touch which appear like proscription or bans of outlawry or banishment Segregation is the meanest of the new inquisition, and because so violently in opposition to citizenship, and also because of the non-necessity. Wealth is the arbiter in the matter; it will decide the place of residence if it is a question of keeping high-toned neigh- borhoods exclusive. Only once in a great while will there be found with sufficient means and the Aisposition to invade such sections. If it should turn out that a Negro has kad the courage, ability and wis: dom with his limited financial oppor tunity to make the port of prosperons men it strikes us that he is due a re ward rather than contempt, and ac cording to all of the morai maxims touching on the points of labor and reward, Butwhat dowe find? They are hurled back by the law's touch in segregating communities, the thing un contemplated in our scheme of gov ernment. It is impossible to control the senti ments of men, or even to very much influence them about some things. The race question is deeply imbedded, con sequently it is not an easy matter tc greatly influence a white man as i concerns his view of Negroes. So the campaign for segregation has only tc be set in motion by a very few ener getic individuals and the result is cer tain. If the few had not taken it in their heads to create the mischief the thing would not be. This is one o! the weak spots of a republic as it concerns a lowly people. ‘The majority is held as king in spite of its ruthless destruction, and of a kind never meant for’ the majority. ‘There aresome rights that are inherent and which cannot be wrested from the people by any processes whatsoever. ‘To do so would mean repudiation, an- archy, the total disruption of the gov ernmental conception. ‘The law's touch has nothing to do with some things.

I thought with wealth thou might be bought, And thereby I hoarded gold; Great sums I paid for what I sought, But Happiness I might not hold.

Now thou art mine to have and hold; And who would charm thee from thy Must tempt thee not with wine or gold, But woo thee well with love's sweet grace.

The presentation of Shakespeare's master love drama "Othello" by an all colored company, marks an new epoch in colored theatricals. This is probably the first time that a Shakespearean drama has been presented in a regular production by colored players. The New York Tribute gave Mr. Ed. Shakespeare Wing and associate playwright a great credit for their presentation. Although the company only had two weeks' rehearsal and notwithstanding many of the performers had never been upon the stage before, the performance would be a critical to "temper their judgment with mercy" towards the players. The audience came in for the great- Lew Hall' Some o' This and Some o' That. Some o' This and Some o' That. By the street of "By-and-By" one arrives at the house of never.

Mr. Austin takes much pride in reading the writings of the Lincoln and Lafayette theaters, making true the prediction that Mr. Austin made some time ago, that the colored costumes be colored by colored actors, which adds another accomplishment for our race. Mr. Austin wishes through the Freemason congregation to especially commend Mr. E. (French) Elmore of the Masonic theaters, and Jack Dempsey of the Lincoln theater, Mr. John T.

The movies are doing wonderful things that instead of laughter greet the serious scenes as depicted by the movies. The following article entitled Color and Work is an excerpt from the Bos Color and Work. It was a happy thought to have half a dozen dark-faced men supply music and address before the New England Dry Goods Association. That body had a distribution of industrial opportunities among our colored citizens, and the orchestral performance significantly annotated the music. What the guests heard was music, and there is no color in music. None is in orchestral music, and the instruments; piano, violin, cornet and drum give out in an absolutely unprejudiced manner the notes required to be played. May they may in skill, show no peculiarity which can be traced to "race, color or previous condition" by the listener whether they were born north, south, east or west, America" and the Star Spangled Bands, to the touches the keys, bows the strings or supplies the "wind." And if there is no color in music, why should there be That question is raised by the declaration which has just gone forth in the book, "The City of Known residents announcing their willingness "to be served by colored salespeople and other colored employees, to be served by colored employees assigned them," and adding the request that "opportunity be given to color applicants for positions to demote them," and that "This can only mean—it is intended to mean—that our colored men and women are being slighted in the distribution of jobs, a great deal of disinclination to try them out, as Mr. Storey more than hints at the out of a fact. The employer is bound to avoid giving offense to his customers, but does not always take the trouble to show how many of them could be offended.

The manager of colored theatres would find it a very profitable move to hire some reliable agent to book or on some good circuit and at the same time relieve yourself of a lot of resources. The cost is more recent for your acts and probably not as much as you are paying now, as the acts can afford to work cheaper than the one week. If this were not the case, the big white circuits would not have to be run on the same equipment we get together and make show business a business and run it on business principles. You will find this a point of weakness, but you can off any longer, write an agent today. Acts, you want to put your acts in the hands of an agent today, let me show you how to do it. You don't have to pay him; if you do work, all you pay is 5 per cent of what ever salary he can get for you, and he will pay you. You can be very nice than you are to place yourself. S. H. Dudley is now representing most all of the recognized acts and is booking most of the regular theatres you see. After he is regular you, he intercedes for you and turns you over to another agent. The right kind of an act can get twenty dollars for you. S. H. Dudley so bad, is it? Well, wake up and get down to business. His address is in Imber beer. Write him today. The sooner he beer for all concerned. Let's get right. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATER. PHILADELPHIA.

He would INSIDE By Carl THE NEW TYPE RACE CAR THE OLD TYPE RACE CARS WERE SHORT AND STUMPY BREAKING WIND RESISTANCE FOR THE CAR BEHIND THE SAFETY APPRON THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER WHY RACING CARS APPEAR FREAKISH HAVE often heard people remark about the freakish lines in the body construction of modern cars entered in Speedway races. Some people seem to think that these designs are solely for the purpose of attracting attention, that is, to make the car look different. As a matter of fact, there is a definite scientific reason for their present prevalent shapes. It is to counteract or to minimize wind resistance. This is so important that the American Automobile Association, known as the "Three A's," which is the governing body for automobile sporting events, has found it necessary to make a ruling. This new rule prohibits one driver trailing in the wake of another. For example, the tremendous power which the motor must generate in order to be a factor in modern speed racing is not all necessary merely to turn the wheels and make speed—a large percentage of it is consumed in overcoming wind resistance. If one driver will get his car in line right behind another car, he can stay stationary and not move. If the driver exertion and less wear and tear on his car than the man in front of him, who is acting as a veritable buffer. Obviously this is unfair to the car in front. The illustration at the bottom depicts one of the conditions which bring forward the skill of drivers at Indianapolis track. At both ends of this track there is a long curve, a semi-circle which is banked high at the outer edge. When a car makes this curve, if the driver can, he hugs the inside or the pole position. If he is driving at anything like average speed the very momentum or centrifugal force swerves his car outward or towards the outer and top edge of the track, so by the time he is half way round the outer and top edge automatically, unless through skillful driving he has forced his mount to stay at the pole. Under normal conditions, by the time he has completed the semi-circle and is coming out of the curve into the straightway, he is practically at the outer rim. The laymen might think that the car coming out of the circle to the straightway would be pointed straight (as indicated by the light lines on illustration below), but as a matter of fact, the rear end of the car is higher up than the front end. This illustrates one of the reasons why the driver element or the human equation is such a vital factor in speed contests in Indianapolis. Upon this paved oval, two and one-half miles around, the spectators never see a monotonous procession, because cars change their position eight times in making the circuit of two and one-half miles, and do not get into a saucer where the driver element is reduced to zero. love to get another shot at Tommy Coleman as his hands are now in good condition and if I can't beat Colem, I won't take a cent. DALLAS TEXAS LEAGUE TEAMS AND LOCAL CLUBS HAVE BEGUN BASEBALL SEASON. The opening of the season was marked by a monster parade here last Saturday, when mounted police and bank.

The Freeman wishes to say to the manager of Battling Jack Russell, of the dog that does think it wise to say things about battles that are of a too serious nature, but our business is not to make deadly enemies of the boxers. We want the boys to do a bit of nagging, and we help them at it. But the thing can be carved out of the Russell Monday go, and we appreciate the desire to have this publication the medium of sport control. We know that we can cerned we try to keep back anything that may appear peculiarly offensive to one part of the sport happenings, but kindly avoid anything that may be considered too personal, or that does not belong strictly to the business. We have given statements from both sides in this matter, consequently we have done as much as we ought to do. BATTLING BALL THE PINE ST. BEAR GAT. St. Louis, Mo.

We fought 8 fast shots at the Pho- ce, and many of the many ladies were present and the ones who seen the bout was well pleased, although the referee, Mr. Johnnie Harris, had many ladies in the court, but lots of the fans thought and said that I had the shade and if anything hissed the decision. But I made no kick at all and was satisfied that every one was pleased and also scored a knockdown in the fifth round and had Murphy in very fourth and the eighth. I had him bleeding and hanging on in the last three rounds. I used left jab hooks and also scored a knockdown in good advantage. I don't think Murphy could of went many more rounds with the same shot. I also saved Mur- phy of a Kavo, for I surred him on the road to dream land.

NEW YORK—There are at least three notable American middleweights in Bangarooland who seem to be fully committed some time to come. They are Eddie McGoory, Jimmy Clabby and K. O. McGoory. Jimmy Clabby and K. O. have fought and been defeated by Leo Dallin, a listic idol of the antipodes. But they have won over all other Australians in the game, and are against some of the heavyweights also. These three formidable Yankee boxers have fared well, indeed in the farloot, in a financial way especially. McGoory has also fought and been bank account at least $50,000 by his milling in that foreign country, and by him shekling in a bit anxious to leave it just as soon as possible. Clabby has also added quite a pile of golden shekels to his already comfortably built boxing set. Another combat with Darcey which promoter Snowy Baker is most liable to give him without much latter. Drown in three of his recent combats against Darcey are evidently reaping quite a golden harvest by their classy milling in the land in Bangaroo. They are evidently not a bit homesick for the Stars and Stripes.

THE WILSON-ARCHER WEDDING Beautiful Ring Ceremony—Episcopa Marriage—Jennifer Wann, the McFarland Home. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus McFarland, 1810 North Senate avenue, this city, on the corner of a very pretty wedding. It was not a big wedding in the sense of numbers. Only a few were bidden other than the couple. It was so complete in the essentials that if we were likened to anything by way of illustration one could readily take an image of it, and would have a very apt comparison. Perhaps a more ideal happening has never been among our people in this city. It was a very special occasion the ingenuity of Mrs. McFarland who saw to it that nothing was wanting that tended towards a fitting completeness. Mr. McFarland is in the mail The young man, man, Harry Wilson, lives in Springfield, Ohio, where he is a pianist and a pianist with his sister, Mrs. Cella Lambert, he arrived in the city the day of his birth, and he was lady of the high contracting party, Miss Bernice Archer, niece of Mr. and Mrs. Lambert, and father, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Steward at the McFarland home, yet it was all this home, outside and inside. Splendid rugs lay on the floors of hardwood. Chandeliers of light and shedding that evening a delightful electrical glow that harmonized with the great expectancy of the neighborhood, and which, with potted plants here and there and vases of cut flowers, made for an ideal setting for At the appointed moment Mrs. C. A. Higgs took her seat at the piano, when to the family stream, Madeloulssain's priestly robes of his church, led the way to the beautiful improvised altar and stuccoed with cut flowers, and over which hung the marriage bell of sweet peas. Following him were the bride-groom, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. McFarland, who were also the gentlemen were attired. From another door the bride, Miss Archer, ushered into this altar room, so to speak, on the arm of her father, Mr. Stewart, follow- The ceremony following was most picturesque, the bride by the father, the ring, the mutual vows, the prayer, the pronouncement of the sweet and solemn punctuations incident to the beautiful Epicopal ceremony, the sweet and solemn habiliment, in grace and sanctity, and which was heightened by the liquid melody of Mendelssohn's out the ceremony, making for that small, complete master picture referred to in the happy pair, now wedded, was immediately surrounded by relatives and artisans and other stipulations and other tokens of cheer that are usually a part of such occasions. The wedding repast was enjoyed in the dining room 'neath a canopy of floating ribbons. Roses, pink and white flowers, the gala of decorated the table. Here were also candles contributing their mellow influence to the galaxy of this phase of wedding. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

C., composer of the now famous song in "The Titanic disaster, entitled 'Goodbye Boy," which Rev. Caldwell seems to have rare gifts at song writing, having composed it now comes from the brain of this gifted son of Ham one of the greatest men that is destined to live as long as the memory of Dr. Washington asts. The Negro race has need to rejoice in the history of Ham, who made history; men who are making literature, and music, thereby eliminating the necessity for future generations of the sweetest music, thereby giving to the memory of this great man a beautiful imagination. There is but one way to appreciate its beauty, and that is to hear it sung, indeed it you should be able to conspicuously above all others. Dr. Washington was that character. He is gone. Who will be the next? Where? Boy; some mother's son will be the next great man. How do you know him? Chance. Sing Booker to him. It may wake him up. It is worth the small cost of 25 cents which you may give to the work and worth of Dr. Washington. SIXTH ANNUAL OPENING OF HO TEL DALE, CAPE MAY, N. J.
