We ask to be aided in our development as black men and not white men. We are satisfied with our color and our race. We come from one of the three great families of the world. Sham represents the Mongolians, Ham represents the Africans and Japheth represents the Caucasians. I believe that each of these great people have a destiny—some great work to do—and under God each should fulfill his destiny. We are pleased the life of a new era, proclaiming that super-sition has given away before the light of Christianity, that sentiment is subservient to reason; that emotion has given to restraint and that the dawn of a glorious day is at hand—a day when universal brotherhood will be recognized by both white and black.

Colored publishers are having their long list of troubles added to by the advance in the cost of white paper, ink, printers rollers, etc., to increase the cost of production, with little chance of getting even by increasing the price of subscription. It is difficult to get more than $1.50 per annum for a weekly journal, but by increasing the price, the publisher will try to increase his sales over the counters of the news stands where it is easy to get a flat rate of five cents per copy for almost any kind of a weekly. --- Mrs. Booker T.

The Civil Service high-class gentlemen, and they are not in the habit of listening to or being influenced by the personal flings of deserving candidates, in trying to 'turn Informer' and to use them as cats' paws to wreak a private vengeance. Crooks who write about the civil service are in this sort of thing before—and failed ignominiously, "Dick" Thompson can take care of himself in any kind of a case, and he is ready for one at any time any scamp wishes to be accommodated. THE NATION'S CAPITAL (By R. W. Thompson. Washington, D. C., Special. Interest in the Booker T. Washington- ing. Now that the political campaign is at an end the committee of 100 will be able to push its work千里提 up the movement early in June with one of the biggest rallies the country has ever seen. Dr. Washington, as principal of Tuskegee Institute, will be present and deliver the address of the occasion. The committee has been benefited by the labors of the great educator, there will be no difficulty in raising the $5,000 the committee has set out to collect in the District. --- The school situation is as chaotic as ever and there seems to be no relief in sight. The Board of Education refuses to act in accordance with the people of the District and keeps in power a head official who is offensive to the patrons of the schools. The recent exposure of the plorable Mr. Brown to the teaching of the Business High School is but one more link in the chain of maladministration that is making our schools a roaring force. The school is not doing its best work under the trying circumstances that confront them day by day. The only solution is to punish end to the maladministration. The situation is steadily growing worse. All is serene at Howard University, and the commencement season is proaching. The graduation season is proaching. The main student body will be held June 7. Citizens' associations in every quarter of the city for the discussion of local issues are wanted. The Howard Park Association and the Black School are at present the only bodies that essay to speak for the colored people of the district. The schools suffrage, better housing, the referendum on race, the reconciliation with Negro's civil rights all live problems and action should be taken on the matter once. . . . A public testimonial in recognition of the five years of yeoman service remembered by Miss Marte, president of Literary and Historical Association, in the air and should become an actuality before the close of the present term of the association. Such an actuality would be in things "eternal fitness of things". It should be made a citywide function, for the work of Miss Madre has touched and she has touched with the borders of the district and has spread to the nation at large. The A. M. E. General Conference at Philadelphia is wrestling with the numerous problems that have on座ate his statements, is whether any additional bishops should be elected this year, or shall the church try to get them to present staff. The latter course would mean the bringing home of the two African bishops to take stock in the current situation, and the three that have died during the current quadriennium. The church authorities point out that the church will accept the election to go over until 1920. The progressive elements in this section, however, favor the election of three bishops and the election to go over until 1920. The particular interest is felt hereabouts in favor of Dr. A. J. Carey, of Chicago, Dr. L. N. Ross, of Baltimore, and Dr. C. W. H. Church. It is believed that the elevation of these Christian statesmen to the A. M. E. bench would enliven the denomination throughout its worldwide jurisdiction. The Washington Bee, for reasons widely known, has an "Prophet" Mason. It is still carrying, however, that twin incubus, the "Sage of the Potomac" whose name is Prophet Mason, to be either interesting or funny. The "Sage" is a back number. It is given out, cautiously, of course, that Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of the teachers' groomed for the presidency of Wilberforce University, Ohio, by an element of present administration of Methodism's great school, and insists that a change is necessary to preserve the best education. Prof. Moore's attitude on the matter has not been ascertained. He is aware that the best equipped educators, and the teach- ers he has given the country have been of the highest quality. If there is to be a change at Wilberforce, Prof. Moore would fill the bill nicely. THE DELTA METROPOLIS. Dr. B. T. Williamson, B. S. M. D. a very successful physician of this place, has been a member of the alumnum association of Alcorn A. & M. College to deliver the annual address 23d inst. A vocal content took place at the Wednesday May 8, between Monday night, May 8, between the Wednesday M. E. choir and the McKinley Chapel M. B. church choir. Some splendid vocal performances from choir, but the contest results were an enterprise to the audience which was a "tie." The commencement exercises of the Greenwood Seminary will begin Tuesday, May 9, and close Friday, May 12. The commencement sermon of the Greenwood public school will be delivered at the school auditorium Sunday, May 14. Mr. John Phillips wishes to thank his many friends for the kindness shown on account of the death of his brother, and to this life a short time ago. She was buried from the Chestnut Street C. M. E.

Some time ago the Agricultural Department of the New York Central Lines proposed to Mr John M. Cuebs, Chairman of the Illinois Bankers' Dairy Committee, that if the bankers financed farmers in the purchase of superior dairy cows the Big Four Railroad Company would place a number of registered pure bred bulls in sections where such purchases were made. Inasmuch as the value of a pure bred sire in improving the dairy herd is so well recognized that it is frequently stated that the sire is half the heard, the importance of these pure bred bulls to the dairy industry along the Big Four Railroad is readily seen. The co-operation of Hon. W. Scott Matthews, State Dairy Commissioner, was secured in following out this project. He arranged that his inspectors should select these cows for the bankers, who agreed to purchase the cows and turn them over to the farmers at cost on time payments if necessary. The plan has proven so feasible that the Commissioner later persuaded other sections of the State and other railroads to work along the same lines. So far farmers in Karnak, Behap, Vienna, Bloomfield, Harrisburg, Eldorado, Nirrty City, Graville and Carmil have taken advantage of this proposition and secured superior cows through the offer of the Bankers' Association. The Big Four Raftroad has already shipped bulbs to several of the above mentioned towns and the others will be forwarded in a short time. The railroad retains ownership in each animal, but places it with a responsible farmer without charge for the improvement of his own herd, allowing him to collect from his neighbors a very nominal service fee for the use of the animal. It is planned to change these bulbs later from one community to another, as may appear desirable, in order to prevent inbreeding. It is expected that over fifty carloads of good cows will be purchased by farmers along the Cairo Division of the Big Four within the next six months, and all farmers interested in securing additional stock should get in touch with their local banker with a view to having their needs supplied. the G.

SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916. Congress came across, compromising with the President, to speak, granting an army of 206,000 men. No one loses, no one wins. All quiet on the Potomac. New York hopes to raise $50,000 for Tuskegee. That's going some. However, their resolve is in keeping with the aphorism that where there is much, much is expected. Rebelling as Sir Roger Casement now sees it reminds one of the bear learning to fly. He said that he did very well when he was up, but insisted that it was hell to light. Peace, beautiful peace is at last in the air, and it is music to the ear in these warring days. The blast came from Berlin when the Imperial go on to applied to President Wilson's last note. It is to be hoped that it is an air from heaven. If it turns out that Mr. Wilson extracted the ray of sunshine of the dubious result of the last exchange it will send his stock assuring. For the past few days, Indianapolis has been filled with Charities and Correction people who gathered from all parts of the country to take over methods for bettering this phase of the civil life. In recent years there has been an awakening along these lines. Prison reform by the way of management came in for a good share of discussion. Confined men are now being considered men for a that, his man beings yet. The authorities are now appealing to the remaining human attribute of imprisoned men, throwing them on his honor with the hope of quickening the dying conscience that they may not forget they are yet men, and from which order they have no right to lose caste. Other groups of the conference were also busy with discussions and displays incident to them. Great good will follow great work in behalf of those who greatly need it. This week, the Negroes, the country over, are appalled by the news of a frightful burning of one of the members of the race, at Waco, Texas. Perhaps nothing we may say will in any way help the situation. Our race has denounced and condemned until it all appears vain and idle in view of the persistent happenings. Nor would we now stand amazed at the atrocity in this high noon of civilization if the incident did not seem to be a part of a program to humilate the race. It is this that hurts so deeply. The accumulation of property and the acquiring of education will appear to means to win respect if such signs as in Waco is in continual shown. Here thousands made a holiday of suffering and death. Would it be the same elsewhere in a similar case? Will whole cities of white people rejoice at the unlawful destruction of a Negro. If so it is a very alarming condition. The Booker T. Washington memorial fund is booming alone, taking in nearly the country. The campaign in Indianapolis is practically closed. In the assignment for visiting churches by the committee the editor of this publication visited Campbell chapel, North Indianapolis and Phillips chapel. At both places he was treated with the utmost courtesy. At both places the individuals seemed eager to hear what was going on concerning the late Dr. Washington and his Tuskegee. These are among the smaller churches of the city, situated among people of very limited means. The collection for the fund followed that for the churches, but nearly all present responded, including the children, the hope of the race, the church and Tuskegee. The work of tramping to those far away churches became a labor of love when the beautiful attitude of respect was evidenced in honor of Dr. Washington, and on noting the rapt attention paid the speaker. It was very evident that the people only had to be met and they would do the rest. State pride naturally throws us in the Fairbanks preferential ranks even if that were the only consideration. But beyond this the ex-Vice-President is a careful, prudent statesman, who has not permitted himself to be emasured in alliances of any kind that's not for the good of the state. The possible return of Roosevelt is noted, nor are we so disinclined to as to be considered as a decided antagonist. We have great respect for him owing to his "tangible" qualities. We have said that for this very reason he is theoretically dangerous although his administration was without a hostile shot, as his pamphleteers say. Presidential idealism means the individual of the utmost stability, not political precocity necessarily, but level-headedness and the ability have who are selected to preside over great banks, railroads and other great corporations. Presidential idealism is the individual without violent whims. Those go with great leaders, agitators, whose business is to influence men extraordinarily one way or the other. Mr. Roosevelt is a great leader. Our Mr. Fairbanks is just right for a great presiding officer; why not have him? LET IT STAY YELLOW Let the "yaller" bridge stay yellow. Some officious individual has had nerve to go up against the understood injunction that the new bridge spaning the canal in the heart of the colored settlement was not to be painted yellow in memory of the old bridge which became famous as the yellow bridge. The early Negroes who were not long on correct pronunciation called the "original" bridge "yaller," and so long and persistently that it became a thing of affection. Long ago the old bridge began to fall to pieces, being borne away piece-meal on the bosom of the sluggish flow under the saffron he became. The thing of cloth as moon glowed, waned, but the snow covered it just the same. The spirit of vandalism such as would rob us of our antique but picturesque, classic court house building had no regard for things made notable, honorable and noteworthy through service and ancientness, and which gives the value of romance, the veritable fountain head of poets, painters, composers and novelists. "I stood on the bridge at midnight and the clock was striking the hour." This was the "ole Lunnon" bridge where suicides were wont to "congregate" to make their picturesque exits from earthly travail and sorrow. Our old "yaller" bridge had a fame of its own. Rev. Moss Brierles (Browles) and the first installment of Negroes in India, gave value to the bridge and its vicinity. Here were witnessed another picture, that of redeemed souls, not lost as those who hovered in the night about the bridge of London town. Let it stay "yaller." "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood," and the rest of it. BILLY KING—BIG SUCCESS. Actor-Manager Drawing Great Crowds at the Grand Theater—Is Now One of the Few Thirty-third Degree Mans s of the Race in This Country. Other Windy City News. (By Cary B. Lewis. CHICAGO, Ill., May 16—Billy King is with us again. He is today the most successful producing actor and manager of the dramatic critiques of the cosmo- politan dailies have gone so far as to term him "King Billy." As a house packer, he has been a major record in the Grand Theater, the Southside's most popular playhouse. Here he has fourteen weeks and maybe more. If any one doubts he is not drawn to the theater, he has a night and see for yourself. A few Sunday nights ago, he turned patrons away at three shows. Can you beat it? Things Have Changed. How things have changed? One year ago, Manager Johnson displayed his name in electric lights in front of the crowd, knew him and cared little. He was judged as a Cow-Boy Comedian with a bunch of cow-boy girls; there were a few who were not stock company only remained at the Grand for two weeks and never longer, but Billy put one over everybody, and kept on putting on great shows. The audience in Billy King and the producing comedian was heavily billed and kept on putting on great shows. The suits occurred and instead of the company staying two weeks, he held the center of the stage for fourteen weeks, packing the house, and producing him different playlets. Think of it, a racial company, remaining at one house almost for four months, playing a mix of comedy and pleasing both patrons and manager. "Billy" Goes East. After his triumph here he left for the deep, critical and dangerous land Greater New York. The Lafayette was on its last legs; he was the one man who could have pulled it out of the hole; he fell in a crap move to the land near the same place play. After offering one of his cleanest melodramas ever played in New York, the manager of the Lafayette sent back his photos and a message that his show was morally too rough for the media to find a mind-bump-funded, in-law audience, "Billy" was gumbfounded. In a short while he adhered his wits together, and he has plenty of them, and sought expert legal talent. He sought to know if a manager could deliberately cancel an action or show because of private interest. He had to call the影星, "The Manager, thought Mr. King did not have one leg to stand on the way the contract was written. The open court did not see it that way and after hearing both sides of the case, the Lafayette's manager of the New York City, King John, was called to the 500. This closed him in New York for a time, but the decision gave him and his company a standing in the East that will last forever. The president of the White Rats in commenting on the case said, "We are all in the same way, and the lead me nerve to fight for his rights and in helping himself, helped the profession." Makes a Hit at Philadelphia. During all this contest "wise Man" Gibbon, of the Standard Theater, Philadelphia, slipped in his house, King had won his case. He was a big card in New York and had played some big games. He was His year. Philadelphia was a success from the start and while Gibbon was considering King and his company, Manager John L. King. He was in Ingleton, D. C., booked Mr. King for a run. The funny part of it all, this same Thomas was not stand up, he was year old. Should any one try to interfere with an engagement that Mr. Thomas had with the Billi King Company, warrior up, Mr. King had to come up, Mr. King had to come to Chicago to fulfill a summer engagement at the theater. Mr. King, Mr. King, he has had an organized company for the last six years.

ATROCITIES IN TEXAS, TOO Special to THE FREEMAN It will become Americans to pass resolutions condemning the execution of spies in Belgium or the shooting of the war in the 1940s. It is possible for such things as the Waco (Texx), outrage to happen in this country. The Germans who put it up with well, the clerks of the country, and the meeting under the color of law and recognized usages of war. The killing of the riot leaders in Dublin has been found in the 1940s, which nations resort deliberately in times of war. There was absolutely no excuse for Waco. It was not to be made, and convicted. He admitted his guilt and was sentenced to death. The mob, in its frenzy, was unwilling to await a trial for the death of the war. He was now nowlevged to unwill the process of theگنشن, and he was now having him from a suspension bridge. Then the plan was altered and he was not to be made. He was not to be made, and was burned in the presence of 15,000 people. Later the charred body was placed in the same place, and the damaged bourgeois, the principal streets of the city, and when last seen the horseman was headed in the direction of the home of the family. The only explanation for the conduct of those responsible for the Texas horror is that it was the act of unbalance.

FOOD FOR THE FANS Piece pulled the fans to their feet when he smashed a terrific drive over the score board for a home run. Wiley, the crack catcher of the Lincoln Giants, got five hits off Andy Coakley on Sunday, two of them being two base hits. The Long Branch Cubans are going to play every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the league this season, and Sunday in Jersey City. Dick Dedding is going along in great shape this year. Had eleven strikeouts last Sunday against Hoboken and allowed them to two hits. Charleston certainly made a show on the Lincoln Giants. He reached first two and immediately stole second on the first ball pitched on each occasion. Charleston and Johnston certainly made a big improvement in the Lincoln Stars. With one or two more changes in the pitching team that has been seen in New York in years. Jesse Bragg's ball playing so classy that the "fans" have forgotten all about "Knucks" James last year's second sacker of the Lincoln Giants. By the word Speed" is Bragg's middle name. The Lincoln Stars and the Long Branch Cubans play a double-header Decoration afternoon at the International League grounds in Jersey City. The Second Sucker will winnish music for the occasion. Charleston, the famous center field, certainly made a big hit with the fans at Lenox Oval last Sunday when he made four hits out of four times at Lenox Oval last game against the St. Alovius team. Professor Soto, who brought the Almendare's team to the United States last year, will manage the Havana Cubs this season. The team will make their first appearance in the country in the first game they will clash with the Lincoln Stars. . . . Captain Pettus, of the Lincoln Stars landed the find of the season when he hit Johnson, who played on a high school team at Youngstown, Ohio, last year is the best looking short stop seen in New York since Lloyd broke into fast company. Charleston and Johnson, the new co-captain of the Lincoln Stars, good impression with the fans. The former made a total of three hits during the last game and the second Wagner or a John Lloyd. Watch these boys; they are there with the "hello stuff." Harvey, of the Lincoln Stars, better known as "Little Pitch" sure had something "queer" on the apple last Sunday after he relieved Gunboat Thompson as he hitters on strikes. His fast ball had the old "hop" and his curve ball never looked better. Some class to this boy. Dick Redding, the smoke ball artist of the Lincoln Giants, showed the fans a brand of white whistle in the seventh inning the visitors had three men on bases and none out. Dick promptly called into play his reserve steam and the next three batters in succession. --- The Philadelphia Giants traveled to South Norwalk on last Sunday and the Giants were joined by their belated batting rallies which has made this nine famous over the count. seventh, the Giants started things with their mighty bats, succeeding in push- ing the ball around to the home rubber- ously sewing up the game for the afternoon. EDDIE DORSEY On last Monday evening around the hour of 10 o'clock, Old Jupiter Pulvious up in the far away heavens opened its large cloudy eyes and wiped out the clouds. Aavoy of the Vanderbilt A. C. brought out two lads, one from Philadelphia and another from New York, other a home city youth by name of Charlie Smith, and introduced them to an eager waiting multitude who had witnessed by various stages to witness this fight. The boy from the Quaker City came to the club loaded down with a republican hat and a pair of wore the burden to his disadvantage for the three minutes of the first round. His recent victory over our own lightning Bolts Boston served to bring together a crowd of fans who came expressly to Boston to expect almost super-human things. Dorsey's exhibition proved himself to be an exceptionally fast and cleverer boxer whose fighting at close range is of the really superb order, and the work of the knack of mapping in powerful short jolts with either arm. After the first round of the contest Charlie Stiffe, who unusually crowds his opponent to his fullest limit, had to back his own return to the jolts which landed in one-two order. The third had not gone over the period of a minute and a half before Dorsey had Smith spitting blood. Once he has shown his right flush, the brought over his right flush on Dorsey's jaw which came near being the means of sending the Philadelphiaian back home without the aid of a carrying conveyance. The fourth of the first round of the key The PITAL letter in the seventh and eighth Charlie succeeded in smoothing out a few of the bad impressions left on him by Dorsey, by coming out of his shell-like crouch and forcing this session with the disdained sings of the Mrs. The ninth was again Dorsey, who improved the opportunity of showing off the wallet he packed, by slamming one on the point of Smith's chin which came on the top of the left of the name of the soaring and rest. Smith, old was horse that he is, proved very conclusively that he is a considerable dangerous trial post. He fought what was a truly credible fight, but what was from Philadelphia fought a better one. Ferribee Adds Another Fight to His Stable. James Ferribe, the young hustling Colored manager of prize fighters, has acquired the contract on the services of another afterweight fighting school for his team. From all counts received, Williams is said to have boxed during the recent month some of the country's best fighters and stopping some of them in sensational Among those who attest to the fighting qualities of this youth is no other champion, Willie Langford, who when at his best as a weterweight, met that youngster down in Savannah, Ga., and the boy became the one of the toughest nuts he ever attempted to crack. His highest protege to arrive in the city as soon as he has completed the string of matches he is securing for the boy's advent. History Reprinted. San Laurel, N.Y. Joe Foejette last week in Syracuse, N. Y. (By Herman E. Foster.) Binga Lismond, one of the few men who has scored a clean cut victory over the peerless "Ted" Meredith of the Illinois-Chicago dual meet last season, recorded to his lengthy string when he won the 440-yard run in 49 2-5 seconds at the Illinois-Chicago dual meet last season. "Forty-nine two" performance is a new Illinois record for the "440." At the St. John's College intercollegiate basketball game, the team of Far Rockaway high school finished in the van of a fast field of middle distances in the 800-yard run. Jenkins stepped up to the next level, and is the best time negotiated by any school boy this season around these parts.

Miss Helen Elise Smith, his co-workers, and he for the Martin-Smith School of Music that will long be remembered. With such a head of any institution it can not fail. It is needless to say that those who attended this recital last Friday night are the wonderful possibilities that are evidenced in the youth of the race and that Mr. Martin is the man to whom people are grateful to this young man for the stand he has taken in musical and as long as he maintains them he will always have their support. Recitals and recitals go, but Martin's recitals are Tennyson's "Brook," "go on forever." AT LAST A RACE DRAMA. A Reply to "The Birth of a Nation."

THE RUBY THEATER, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Joseph Clark, Jr., the well known popular manager, has again taken the management office from the Theater and it can be seen from the Monday night that the change was for the best, for Mr. Clark's motto is "Be the best man that can believe he is giving the public the best that is in the market. It seems as if Mr. Clark is the only man that can believe he is giving the public the village to a success. The bill this week was a sure winner from the start to the finish. The show opens with Burton and his band taking the talking and dancing act. They had the audience from the minute they entered the stage until their last number, and then they came to three curtain calls. The next act to follow was Clarence Powell, late of Richard and Pringle's Georgia, Minneapolis, and Louisville the theatregoers, but soon had the audience in an uproar. His rapid fire talk and his parody songs soon became the hit of the bill, Winn and Nugent, that dancing pair. Miss Nugent is known as America's greatest female buck and buck, and it is a bit riot. The show as a whole was a knockout and there is no doubt that it will draw record-breaking crowds. Managers are lecturing this bill for his opening show under his management. THE GRIM REAPER, "DEATH," V18 ITS THE SILAS GREEN CARE Mr. John A. Williams, beloved and only brother of Prof. Eph Williams, dropped dead Friday, May 12, at 5:30 p.m. at the University of Kentucky, buried Saturday, May 13, at 11 a'clock a.m. m.

Prof. Eph Williams at once, but life was extinct ere the doctor's arrival.

The patrons of the beautiful Majestic theatre, the home of up-to-date barbers, the still pleased with the work of Colored Art's form, The Management, it is thought will continue to be good colored acts as long as they give satisfaction. So far the acts have been appreciated, judging by the way their work has been received. Hudgins and Bumbray are in their second week of life, a new act and which is wholly different from the one of last week. They are doing a nice comedy skit—a dining room�s where Hudgins is doing a wench turn and as such as being a charming young lady in pretty and becoming attire, who wishes service. Here comes in a new play of straight by Miss Bumbray and completed by Hudgins. They get off many pleasures which keep the house laughing and amused all through the house. Hudgins, who makes up grotesquely in his first appearance appears more refined later on. Looking at a rather low-tech watch becoming togs. In the meanwhile Miss Bumbray put over a delightful song number which with her fine concert voice, made for a feature of the bill. Hudgins' song number is also a good one. They do big finish, singing and prancing. Her Hudgins makes a hit in his eccentric daytime show is notable for its Bert Williams's quality. They took bows each evening. The act is a number one good one. TIm E. Owsley. Tim E. Owsley long since was won distinction before the footlights, so the appears the before the large audiences at the Majestic he was perfectly at home. He put on and got away with his own song, never "Ain't as Foolish as I Look to Be." As a monologist Tim is in company with the best. He is a racondeur for true. He can tell a story, getting all out of it possible. And he is full of good ones. Everything he pulled went to, getting the laughs, some getting him great applause. His work all through was apparently pleasing to the patrons and to the management. The remainder of the program was by pretty chorus girls who were very attractive in their many beautiful costumes. They sang gaily together, seeming to enjoy their ability to afford an entertainment that pleased The solo singing as usual with this pany was of a high order. The skid was highly amusing, more so than the one of last week. The flexible lady, the dancer, is a real wonder. She is more than an ordinary attraction, an pearing almost superhuman in her latheness. Her limbs appear as withers and are only sitting her hands behind her head and doing shedding stunts. That is weird and startling. AT RINGLING BROS. SHOWS BIG ATTRACTION PULLED From Every Direction—Grand Street Pageant—P. A. Venable, Band Director and His Men on The bands, the fn-desclec calipse in the middle of the march and the top of the song, are still the same.

It was a great day financially for the Ringlings. They show, the amusement home of the poor, and the colored people was up to the expectations. The shekels fell in bushels. All were genuine.

(By Buddie Austin, Producer.) Manager C P. P. Bailey, the diamond king, ably assisted by his clever house man, is busy these days drawing plans to build a new theater. The patrons crowd the theater daily, the fitness the photo plays par execlente to enjoy the stock and wadewells. Bailey is jubilant over his stock company and is figuring on touring with the company at the closing of the management which would be soon. He has been a singer carer for the use of the performer-class to C P. Buddle. Austin the producer is starting in his twenty-fifth week as producer and is growing stronger week by week. Austin holds the world record as producers, having written and successed many dramas, and has in repetition over two hailstorms. M.D. Lauren the villain of the show is still making them his him. There is good doubt Ed is some performer and good good scout. Nina Birdie Gibson, the emotional actress, is like good writer. She is the most popular member of the company. Miss Florence Sewell, the clever character actress of the company, has written different parts for Austin has written week and she handles them with much work and she handles them a favorite. She is fast becoming a favorite. Bright, that versatile character, a real artist and also a very clever player, and a real hit has Maggie Austin, the clever little wife of Buddle, though fession, handles lines with the skill of a veteran. Dinah, Emperor of Fun, is screaming the house with his funny haunts. A haunts is a 'comedian of marked ability. The show this week is a heart-ending drama "Deserted." This play gives each member of the company a chance to display the ability to talk and talk the story and Lillie after three and one-hour weeks in the old made their appearance in stock and cleaned up. The Red Rose Trio, Bessie Brown, Jennie Lee and Mildred Pelebone open-month show and appears the first to be a small act. Managers get busy and book the Red Rose Trio. The musical end of the program is ably handled by Prof. Ed Butler and Arthur Chandler. Bunschend and regards to all friends, Ed Lee andгеorge are reading the new, reading show bunch. Buddie Austin has arranged to have fifty of his dramas copyrighted in order to protect his ideas. So beware "Pirates." Mr. P. Bailey has engaged Mr. Austin for six months to go to the document processing. Mr. Austin was forced to cancel all of his engagements and was very sorry. Austin believes that a rolling stone gathers no moss. Prof. Ed Butler is also working on the show. "The Temp of the Light is indeed beautiful," Tom Bailey is back again in the operating room after four months in baseball. Rat Silverman is running for alderman in the Fourth Ward. He is likely to be used to show the show made flying trip to Birmingham on some business for the chief.

(By Zollie Ford.) We have left the state of Kentucky for a few days and are in the mountains of Virginia. We go as far as Bristol. Then back into the tobacco country of Kentucky. Every one with the show is well and business continues good. Since writing last the show has been strengthened by George Happy-Dudley returning after an absence of over two months. Just look who's here, Zollie Ford, Jennie Ford, Young and Young, Harry Motley, Brooks and Jenkins, Bonnie Drew, Happy Dudley, Lizzie Dudley and H. J. James. This is the line-up of the performers—Nuf sed. Besides Prof. Booker and his fourteen-piece band, some show and some band. We will be in old Kentucky for a month or six weeks yet. Then possibly into Missouri after harvest. Every one with show sends their best wishes to all friends in and out of the profession. WAKE UP! INDIANAPOLIS! (By R. B. Shelton.) To my regret I noticed in your last week's issue of the passing of vaudeville star Riley Roberts, manager. I know the article I am about to write will cause both, so they fire away. Nine years ago I left Indianapolis, my home town, to enter vaudeville, and I was the moment of the time. I have given to my chosen profession. I left myself I wish to write but of Indianapolis and its short-comings theatrically, oh. Indianapolis! What is the matter? I support a theatrical enterprise? Who ever wrote the article in last week's issue certainly voiced his hand and say, "Amen, Brother, take As to a theater we have never had one, I admit that is, a real colored stage space, up-to-date seating capacity and all things combined that go with comfort of the audience and performers. Does it take a million dollars to build such a theater. NO, emphatically, NO, means in Indianapolis to start such a moment of the time I have given to it. I have given to it plea, 500 on the ground floor and 300 balcony, and a few years be declaring a dividend. Remember, we will eventually have a real manager to obtain results. Building a ship isn't all of it, but it is with a theater. It requires a capable manager and competent assistants. You can't take a butcher, laborer, or manager, but you are playing the theatrical game and place him in charge and expect favorable results. Aaker, who knows the game from to to, will play little play where we can be comfortably entertained. As the article of last week stated, we can't play in a cosplay city. We can't play on a theater because Mr. and Mrs. So and Attends and they are not in our set. Shame! Poor Indianapolis has people. They should come to New York and see how the people live in a cosplay city. Their native snowball in a hot climate. People that make such remarks about a theater must be in a class of people that are contented to be segregated in the "nigger heaven" of a white theater. The second year a bigger theater can be sold by us, but we call the second balcony. So we won't expect this article to interest you, Mr. and Mrs. "Dick-to-ee." There is a move on foot in New York to co-operate and form stock companies, but they are white men. New Indianapolis with your many well-to-colored men, don't let this golden chance to draw a big interest on your business, but give your fingers. Ten men worth a thousand dollars apiece can do the trick. You build the theater and place a stage, have the players and enough talent to give you a variety of entertainments. You must have a real manager, one who knows the players and listen, don't be mislead and think any old performer will be a capable manager. A manager nowadays must be able to recognize art and talent, and encourage it by paying an act or a living salary. Thereby get real results the performer. He must be a good mixer with his watch word should be diplomacy. Watch this space from time to time that would interest the reader that would interest the reader Wake up Indianapolis, wake up! Yours for success. R. SHELTON. Fiddler and Shelton 28 W. 131st St, New York City. AT THE STAR THEATRE, DALLAS TEXAS. --Miss Blanche Vortice is with the U. C.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell "THE PORTER" AT THE GRAND "EXPLOITS IN AFRICA" DRAWS FULL HOUSES. BILLY KING IN THE TITLE ROLES. Madam Fairfax and Harry Stafford at the Monogram. The announcement that Madam Fairfax, formerly well known as a dramatic soprano and pianist, was the manager of the old Monogram to greet the prima donna and Harry Stafford, who were the older dancer, but now a big boy, who will be known as the dancer. He is to play a man's part in the sketch. I am to the chanteer when he's a dancer and the piano play. I've played and sang the Meserie from the Trovatore in two octaves, representing the性能 and soprano. Her rendition of Old Kenel's work with a crying spell and vocal emolliishments of vocal extent and character acts in planissimo were bits of vocal art, and won great applause. The Numnie and boy sketch was good and Mastery. Stafford's finding made a hit. Eddie Green, a young woman, is very clever in monologue, gave spasms of humorous talk and Stemper and James was an entertaining team of the most well-known and well-experienced good and the successes who is attractive, pleased. The orchestra, Chicot, too small, had Madam Austin, pianist and E. Scott, a good drummer. When Miller, the proprietor, and Manager Klein, get on good terms with themselves, the press and the public, as well as the actors when they may have good business. "Jakec Jenkins" is the utility manager here and helps business, and George Ross is electrician. Straine to Put on Stock Doo Straine of Straine and Bailey, now playing at Thirty-fifth Street, and Billy King's company, is to open Monogram for own stock company for a continuous run at the new Monogram Theater.

The street carnival from 46th to 19th street has closed, nobody having responded to its demands Cassey's band "The Office Buffet" were not deco- nated. "The Office Buffet" was not deco- nated. The street is accessible to graffiters, and immortal traffic and are undesirable in big cities. Harper Puggley the comedian and dancer arrived in the city last week and was greeted by his old friends. Sparell Scott's barber shop and sparell Scott's barber shop and put in last week at 3220 State street, Scott's trade mark is "Look for the Demon." White and Norris are on the Western vaudeville time. They opened at the last week, with Wil- waukee to follow. S. B. Turner of the Chicago-Illinois idea, has returned from the special session at Springfield, III. Mrs. Turn- er cold last week, which was a drawback to their publication. Arthur Cardner, a well known rail- road porter, shot and killed both his wife and himself last Monday week. Well-warranted, said to be the first of his many plays, the sympathy carries pity, the silent contempt for human weakness. The third annual concert of the All-Ocean Air theater place on Sunday afternoon, May 28, 3 at Central Music Hall. The soloists will be R. Nathaniel Delt, composer and pianist at Hampton Institute; W. Hatterson department at Hampton Institute; W. Hatterson, tenor, and Laurea Lyles-Smith, reader, and W. J. Kelly is manager. Madam Bridge's modern tailoring school is offering exceptional advance training, as will be seen in her advertisement elsewhere this issue. Frank L. Gales piano company has moved to 3129 State street. Art Codzoose has been very ill with quinzy sore throat at Provident Hossein. He was reported to be improving as his condition has been quite ill for a week with quinzy gripe. Babe Brown is up again, but he has to assume her part in the cost to the King productions at the Grand. Jeanette Wheeler Cooper of Chicago is the author of a story, which she has written upon original lines. Billy King and I were callers at her private library, and we were impressed with the theme and when he has read the entire story it is probable that he will dramatize the book into a play, either as a character or a writer; later a more graphic account of the literature will be forthcoming. The announcement that Bert Williams Ziegfeld Follies will not retire from that company next season, but will not be a year after the first year of the year to be a year after the life of the yield-management, is significant. Mr. Williams, who is the foremost comedian at his and the family family office, comedies are the world of the once noted team of Williams and Walker, is now up again the first year of the year to be a year after the life of the year. Mr. Williams once starred, after the death of his partner, in "A Load of Koal," an all Colored Company, staged the year. The four years have not failure owing to Williams' own dictaion without experience in that capacity. It is to which he has been obliged to submit. And, however, he obliged to submit. And now comes the problem of the trying time in which his decision is bound to be to the same time as the other to the same process of his own race, but his race never-theless places a high pledge of esteem to upon his record and his world-class the day of the first year of the year. The only solution of the problem of Williams's drawing power lies in the use of the same time as the other. In the case of him at all in this new generation will be theatre-goers who know him as the new life of William and Mr. William. In the case of his prestige will not be worth a dollar for its drawing power. If the only one of the two has been a limit his trademark of Williams and Walker. If his trademark is used white and colored people alike will be dissimilated by the new people and the new money and scenes with white women, minus love and even in the course of the life of the year. It is the same way he has been sweetened. And thus and so. And so we have the problem solved. It will take two races of people to get a new year. It is the same way he has been sweetened. It will take two races of people to get a new year. It is the same way most of the Colored people don't care if they do get seats in the balcony. In the front rows, if they can see Williams and the other two are in the same way in existence staged by Jesse Shipp. It is not up to Williams. He has a case of the same time as the other. He has a white company, but the public won't support it. It is all up to Ziegfeld. He is the fellow who is putting the work of the public in the financial decision has been tested. Whatever Manager Ziegfeld does will help with his business efficacy, but the verdict will be found in the category public philology. THE LATEST WAR. Politics The President's on the warpath now, The Germans know it anyhow— That they're the stuff. Plainly, sometimes wrong But it's all right; The Wilson move seems awfully strom, But the Dodore Roosevelt may be, To prove we're there; And then in war we'll fight to win- The people's choice is near at hand, And that's no lie; And when the bishops disband- Woodrow, good-bye— 'Sylvester Russell.

The new building is the session; the daring and skillful feats performed by the novelty acts, bicycle riding, high trapeze acting and acrobatic acts are the best. Lonny Reid, the actors' friend of Atlanta, wishes to say that Tolliver has brought to the city the greatest colored show in the history of the city, and deserves great praise.

Mr. Hatch, a feature to add to the comfort and edification of his many patrons, always offers a form of entertainment. The room is beautifully decorated and, although it is large, it is inadequate to accommodate the place nightly. An excellent orchestra is provided and the entertainers are the country star, Sarah A. Williams is general manager. The entertainers are Ollie Hatch, Evelyn White, the popular "Booker," Blae Foster. Ubile Blake, pianist extraordinary; Madison Stark, standout; the most popular artist shave no peers in their line. The Smart Set closed its season at Atlantic City, having completed a tour of the United States and a period of thirty-five weeks. The only one of the large colored shows launched this season that remained unchanged, "George Washington Bullion Abroad," was pronounced by critics and public to be the best colored show since Willie Mays' "Manana, Love Me Anywhere," "Shine On, Southern Moon," and "Kentucky Blues" are played and whistled everywhere, so the season the most memorable will be the larger and better production. No amount of money will be spared to maintain the high standard of exquisite production, and players. Miss Hillman has been engaged to create and manufacture the costumes and some beautiful and sensational creations may be expected. Sam Gray and Luke Scott, late of the company, organized a repertoire company and present their own comedies and dramas at the Palace Theatre, Atlantic City, during the summer. Those who attended the show were Ora Dunlap, Virginia Wheeler, Billy Young, Louise Cooke, Louise Devine, Willick Dixon, Brandon Williams, Eddie Vector, Willick Dixon, Brandon Williams, Norwood and Tom Hally.

Pratt and Gar- ward girl joined the show. It was plain to be seen that she was the only one with no knowledge of dancing and could not carry a melody correctly through two measures. Not only was she awkened, but she was not responding. Yet when a number was called for rehearsal she was always the first to respond, she was the first to line of work, she was the first to step forward. She failed miserably in each attempt but did not get disillusioned. I say after each failure, I commended her for her willingness, but owing to her lack of experience she was compelled to replace her with a more experienced worker. Two seasons later I heard people enroute to a tortorist by the name of the same girl who had failed with our show, but thought it was her girl. I never doubt the ability of a person to make good who persists in saying 'I will', or 'I will try', but in doing so I develop into a contortionist. But that is just what she had accomplished. By continued effort she had company with which she traveled. It was just about as easy for me to learn to dance as for an elephant to turn a wheel. I acquired enough knowledge of the art to do all the dancing required of me, for that reason I always tell my boys and girls that I can dance. I am not crippled, and can walk and have an average amount of intelligence. I have been successful with all excelses of the "i can t's." They are Another class of performers who have excelled in their mediocre or those who say, "I wish." They wish they could dane like so-and-so. They wish they could play like Paderwski, and so they go on wishing instead of working for what they want. There is only one class of performers worth having, and that is to go after it and keep after it until one gets it. The demand was so great for first-class performers in all lines as the present. Stop for a few minutes and enumerate tenors, tenors, baritons and basses that you know. By first-class I mean singers who have a knowledge of music and the ability to sing operatic roles as real first-class dancers we have? How many performers have we who have studied the drama and have a first-class education, and has looked over the eligibles, one comes to the conclusion that there is a branch, the profession that is with which we work. The majority of performers are lazy. Too given to faking. They would rather flich portions of another song than perform the original something for themselves. If they make good with one song they will keep it in their repertoire until the name of the song becomes their own. If they do not dance they hang everlastingly on to the same routine of steps. If they make good in an act they do it so they can perform the names in front of their theatres, passersby will remark: "Oh, I've seen them often; know what they are doing, and can compare their value as a drawing card. "I can," and "I will" should be the watchword of every girl and boy who enters the profession. There is oodles of women who enter that is a place that never requires enlargement. The fellow who reaches the top usually goes so lonely waiting for someone to come and last he concludes he is in the wrong becomes careless and slips back with the bunch. That place we call the backyard always a room accessible and difficult to reach as the North Pole.

Unless the fight fans are given more for their money at future boxing contests, the patronage, it is feared, will be more difficult to even hold a main bout. The fans are not kicking because the knockout is coming in the second or third rounds of the fight, but they want one or two preliminaries in connection with the big show. Other places where fights are held the pro-fighter's side are the marriages and there is no reason why Cumberland fans should not be treated like wiser. Little Arthur Stigall, who knocked out Kid Owens in the Armory Hall on Monday night in the third round, went into the ring in Roberts Hall, South London, where he knocked "Knockout" Brown. The fight fans were very much displeased and complained of not receiving their money's share of the prize, and the ropes for the count in the early stages of the second round for the count.

The behavior was fast and was one, Green taking the first few rounds, but after the sixth round Williams had Green at his mercy. Williams laughed and danced around Green as Indians do around a camp fire. The fight was enthusiastic throughout and the fans were so much so. Theू an an as a "Put the D-O. on him, Green."

CARPENTER The instant death of a guard at the Corona, California, race recently only serves to emphasize the risk involved in this thrilling sport. The protection of the spectators at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been worked to a nicety through the accumulated experience of Captain William P. Carpenter, who has charge of the guards at the Indianapolis track. One would think that a punitive expedition was on its way to capture a bandit could one see Captain Carpenter's khaki clad soldiers marching five miles west of Indianapolis to encamp a few days before the May 30 event. Every regulation of soldier life is strictly adhered to; tents are pitched, patrols established and rigid military tactics are in vogue. The care for the tremendous throng of spectators is a herculean task, but is done with such apparent ease and so effortless that one is unconscious of its magnitude. Indianapolis Team at New York. For the first time in the history of automobile speedway racing, a team representing one speedway has been entered in the race of another speedway. Three cars from Indianapolis Motor Speedway are entered for the New York Race May 13. These are a Peugeot car and two Maxwells. John Atkinson at the wheel of the Peugeot and Eddie Rickenbacher and Pete Henderson driving the Maxwells. This move is taken as heralding a new era in speedway racing. The New York Speedway Team will be sent to Indianapolis for the Sixth International Sweepstakes Race to be held on the Hoosier speedway May 30. This competition of speedway teams does not in any sense discourage any other entrants, as every driver is out for himself. There are no prizes or awards to teams. The team plan is merely a system for insuring and providing the very finest of cars properly built and maintained. BEST MAKE OF MAN AND NATURE ©1910 Gillette Ad Co To Make Good Cigars!

Brown, the efficient and energetic president, and Mrs. John Hays, the delightful entertainment, and the delightful entertainment, and which was one of he best ever given in this city. Those ladies and the organization should feel to have been keenly committed to the success of their efforts. The attractive, large, and well appointed auditorium with its balcony on three sides, was well furnished, and who showed their appreciation for the effort and the singer, together with others on the program, persevered in performing all of the contents. This was especially true of the women who were greatly in the majority. A more brilliant gathering or such an occasion has rarely been seen. The handsome pipe organ surrounded with a generous wealth of potted plants, the spacious platform similarly surrounded by a large backdrop and scene which lent artistic value to the festival of art which took place in the same splendid note of quality ran through all—the audience, the scene and the renditions, making it one of the most cheerful and high expectations which marked the occasion, and which, as it concerneed with high expectations was not the case. MR.ROLAND W. HAYS, TENOR. A few persons only in this city knew the young man before he appeared for a song on the stage, was the past of the church, Rey Ward. He spoke of him as a Christian young man whom he baptized into the church a few years ago when in Mr. Hayes was originally from Georgia. He went to Chattanooga, Tenn. in early life; he attended the University of Illinois where he witnessed this time his musical ability was discovered by Arthur Calhoun, of Oberlin, Ohio. Later he attended Flist University of Nashville, where under the guidance of his teacher, he excelled in music and literature, his talent was greatly developed. He spent four years under her instruction. Mr. Hayes then went to Boston where he met the composer of "The Music of Hubbard, one of the best teachers of voice in the New England state, and under whom he continues his studies. Mr. Hayes has traveled extensively, having success as a singer wherever he goes. 5. Spring's Awakening----Sanderson Mrs. Murphy 6. Celeste Alda (Alda), sung in Italian Verdi 7. On Away, Awake, Beloved S. Colridge Taylor Mr. Hayes It is not too much to say that Mr. Hayes program was the most purposeful of any ever having been rendered by a colored artist in Indianapolis. He sang from the great composers of his own race, the selections being as a casket of gems. He sang from other composers also, as the program shows. In selecting these songs, he sang from the race he seemed to have chosen the very flowering of their offerings. Among these were songs from Burleigh, Cook, John Haines Taylor and a composition of his own. These masterly, tuneful compositions by Negro master composers had all the graces of art plus the richness of our race variety only. Then the singer, Mr. Hayes, the splendidly versatile tenor, was there to interpret the songs of his convenience. The same barbers will be found at the chairs. He will also be pleased to meet new customers. ALL DAY PICNIC AT SUNNY SIDE.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. own race men. In these renditions one was reminded of Wagner's "Meister Shaus" who contended for the prize, resuscitating that famous "Walter's Prize Song." There was a message from Burleigh, the great Negro baritone, who sang at the premiere of his work and which composition was fanciful and princely, uttered by a wealth of tone quality by Mr. Hayes, and for which he was the opera couch, and religious by Cook, the musical, serio-cicle and would be philosophic composition, with the opera couch, and religious by Cook, the musical, serio-cicle and would feature of the program. This was in Negro dialect. It was full of oppor-tunity, the deepest paths and religious fervor, such as our race knows. When he concluded with his glorious amens in his voice, the audience in a happy concord with him. Ber was enthusiastically applauded. In fact all of his numbers were heartily received, hullaby song, by Rosumond Johnson, a fine exhibition of tenderness. Coleridge Taylor's "Onaway Wake Beloved" is a severe classic and a classic of the English period. Hayes had no trouble in showing up the skill of the late great English Negro composer and his own great ability in making pleasing the difficult selection by the same composer, "The Explanation," which was amusing and short. Mr. Hayes own composition, which was received with generous amusement. The first group of his songs "An Emblem," "Twilight," "At Dawning," and "Winter," might be termed a suite since there was a semblance of order, the characterization, if one may call it, being as true as possible to the titles. This was made clear to all in his "Winter" when majesty of tone and that other variety indicative of frosty, pitiless winter, so unlike the clarion appeal and softness, breathed in his poems of love. It was thought that the height of Mr. Hayes' program was reached when he sang "Celeste Aida." One felt during this rendition to hold with that class of musicians who insists that one must go to Italy to learn to sing. Another class maintains that it is merely imagination that prompts the thought of that country. But in spite of that we have Caruso, the only. He halls from that sunny clime of the "impossible" skies. Italy may not make singers, but it makes voices, and so rich and different. We envy the organ grinder when he sings and the peanut vender. Their talking tones are rich, showing capability of deep rooted love and passion which in motion thrills the being like the violin long played thrills the wood of which it is made. Mr. Hayes, who was another Caruso that evening, singing the Celeste Aida has not the volume of the great Italiano, but the dramatic known to the Italians and, perhaps, other great opera singers, so to chillake the tragic places of tragedy, to soothe the voice, although at times he was most glorious in his tone bursts. He excels in tone quality, being rich and warm and with a soothing voice of his race. To his natural endowment of singing ability, susceptibility and tone quality has been added the cultivation of his voice, and all the fittest representative of the race that Indianapolis has had the pleasure of hearing. This has in mind his ability to sing in a sort of musical scholarship that is scarcely ever shown—the versatility of the artist and the expert arrangement he responded to his many programs. He responded to a very unusual song recital. MRS: ADA MURPHY. songs numbers that showed musical ability and knowledge of music in general. He taught the music for her abilities of voice, making difficult for her agility, with ease and evenness. Her voice is medium in volume. It is pleasing at all times and puts her on the "rule to run for the prize." Her "Adler Festes" was intensely classical—a big number, and which required a fine musical training. It was the first of the unexpected. The young woman sustained her reputation as teacher and singer. The octet, a musical organization of male singers, gave a rich treat of choruses sang with good voices. H. Robinson, came from Cinchinntau especially to play for Mr. Hayes. He is a public school teacher at his home. ARE YOU INTERESTED? In your hair? If you are, get my Mary. If not, get my never-fails to grow hair on any head.
