BROWN BACK FROM GENERAL CONFERENCE Your correspondent called on Mr. Waring at his office, 178 West 185th street, last week and sought an interim associate, Dr. Michael Macso, but went at an early age to Washington, D. C., where he was appointed in the public school of that city. He did special work in the college department of Howard University and graduated from university from which he graduated in 1905. He worked his way through the law school by serving on the police department and working as a policeman that he was brought face to face with conditions that corroborated his life and which gave him a sociological and race conditions which moved him to write one of the most convincing anecdotes of the discrimination the race conditions that country in a book entitled "As We See It." The book brought the author considerable success, and educated negro who sees such problem from its right angle. Mr. Waring was admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States, seven years practiced his profession with success in that city. He figured in a murder case in that city in which a district attorney refused to take a plea. was employed by the school district against colored people. Piltten entered a salon one night and shot an innocent colored man by the hand. Waring worked up the evidence and succeeded in getting a judgment against Piltten which resulted in a $5,000 fine. He was charged with the case in which he figured recently was the case against Charles W. Burke, who was charged with murder in the first case and celebrated docked in the New York courts and lasted a full court week. Mr. Waring in this case will it result in the disagreement of the jury and ended in a decision of manslaughter, for which a sentence of from seven to fifteen years was imposed. Mr. Waring is prominent with the judges of this city and is frequently assigned to cases where helpful advice is required. Mr. Waring is a staunch Republican, and will take an active part in the cabinet. He is broadly engaged in compiling a pamphlet of the record of the president of the United States and many of his cabinets. Mr. Waring is exposing the unkempt promises of the present administration. He will also show the fallacy of members of the race voting for the Democratic party. Mr. Waring comes from a distinguished family of professional people. His brother is Dr. J. H. Waring and his sister is Mrs. J. Waring, one of the early members of the race to graduate from Oberlin College. His brother is Dr. J. H. Waring and his sister is Mrs. J. Welfare, Washington, and Mrs. J. Welfare Homes of Pittsburg. Mr. Waring married in 1913 Miss Emma Parks, one of the most accomplished women of the race. Negroes of this City Show Poor Interest in Booker Washington The colored population of this city is showing little interest in the campaign that has been waged in this city for the last few weeks to raise a porpoise to raise a monument to raise a monument in the form of an endowment for Tuskegee, in memory of the late educator. Judging from the poor interest that is being shown, the city is far behind in the run that is being made to perpetuate the memory Public Library plan 13 of the great educator who gave his life for the good of his race. good this race. The campaign committee has been made up of some of the leading and most influential citizens of the race in Washington, and failed to inspire confidence in the public as to bring forth a response is needed. Your correspondent caught the air, however, last week that one or two of the men of the general committee, and it is believed that this thing to do with the poor interest that is being taken in the movement here, does have visited the various churches of the city appealing for funds, the response has been in most discouragement, and the general damper on the whole movement. The first evidence of general disgrace your correspondent was last week, when a bazaar was arranged at the town Cazing in the interest of the movement. The bazaar was for two evenings, beginning last Thursday and ending Friday. The interest of the business and professional men of the city both poorly responded to. A splendid program and even an appearance of Governor Whitman. The governor came as promised, but the attendance was very poor each evening and the lack of attendance was one noteworthy thing. A conspicuous thing noted by your correspondent was on the evening of the appearance of the governor Washington was present, but on the second evening just one or two of the committee members in this city are sad over the result of the showing of the colony people at this time, and it looks as if the committee is confronting the coming of Dr. Washington to this city were mere sham and makehift. Washington in this city are confronting the Negro in this city. Dr. Washington labored in vain and are colored people of this city going to face what would be an everlasting disgrace. Dr. J. W. Brown Hack from General Conference. Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion A. L. M. e church, and one the oldest in the pastors, has returned to his charge in general conference in Louisville. Dr. Brown is jubilant over the work of the conference he believed the work of this general conference was noteworthy in many ways. In speaking of various phases of the conference, he generalized that he was especially pleased with the legislation that made the Sunday school department more efficient and powerful. The young men more power and influence in church. Prof. J. W. Eichelberger, of Waters Institute, was appointed head of the church, no representation of the church, will be remembered as the history makers of the church. The clergyman praised the church at the general conference and said that the men will reflect the highest conference and was chairman of the Auditing Committee. Since coming to this city three years ago Dr. Brown has done much for the committee on Revision, the Committee on Revision, the moved the church from West Eighty-ninth street to West 138th street, which houses the churches in the city.

The women very fittingly draw the line on socks, despite the efforts of faddists. A man finds it easy to make enemies of old friends by serving on a multitude of committees.

It is where there are few "oratora." A newspaper critic who pays his way into a show is say what he pleases about the show and the performers and the management. The Texas Negro Press Association is called to meet at Dallas on the 4th of July. The call is signed by W. H. Noble, secretary. Peace in Europe can come only when the war in Europe主权 when they are ordered for. Terminus they are arranged when definite demands are set forth. Waht is the war about, anyhow? It is remarkable how many strong and reputable men have an emergency, when the good man is put to the limit to show cause why he should not be hung, drawn, or armored, if there is a flaw in armament. Let us have the extra hour of daylight. If people think they are getting up at and after the school and not going to kick and the workers have an additional hour of natural light in which to perform their allotted tasks.

New York City, Edinburgh, Washington, Pittsburgh are doing great work toward the collection of the $250,000 asked of the Negroes of America to own the Gay Museum Memorial Fund. Let the good work go on. Every dollar, every dime and every penny counts in the grand total. The country rejoices with Dr. J. E Shepard that the National Training in Gay Affairs in N.C. is at last free from debt. It is one of the race's greatest centers of education and will grow bigger in the national training. Shepard is the National Genius and stands in a class alone as a leader of his people. Major R. R. Moton's inaugural address at Tuskegee Institute on "Cooperation and Concentration was a key component of the century and sounds a keynote that appeals to every element of the American body politic in the permanent place in every home in the land.

Howard, the eminent entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, says bugs form a nutrient why humanity should not be able to reduce the high cost of living by utilizing insects as a table delicacy, is used that the caterpillars humbucks from his list of palatable bugs. Major Russia Moton wears the toga of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington with dignity and poise. He will succeed because he has a great courage to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way. He is a leader because enjoys confidence and esteem of who have received him as their standard-bearer. A monument for Dr. Booker T. Washington in stone or bronze is all right—after the future of Tuskegee is made secure. Let the country raise that $2,000,000 for the benefit of the living, and then we can all join in the regulation way. The Negro must be practical as well as sentimental. --- Between 700 and 1,000 colored laborers have been brought to Cleveland, where they will mill, and agents are at work to secure more, who will arrive in a short time. The colored men are regarded as more workers than the white men. They will assist and are less liable to indulge in strikes, according to a labor agent interested in the rounding up of the Southerners. Lawer Armord W. Scott, Washington district attorney, chairman of civility equality and moshouse rights, will be the next Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World. His calling is to help the people of Delphia in August. This is a "Scott year" and the antlered fraternity, accepting this as a fact, has fallen in line with the administration. He will have a brilliant administration. Rew A. J. Cayne Chicago's first citizen, made a fine run for the A. M. E. bishopric. A candidate for this exalted office seldom makes it on the first ballot.

He is the first to be elected four years for the honor that is certain to come to him in its season. The election of Ray J. Harvey Anderson as editor of the Star of Zion is an honorary theory that "success will come to him who keeps everlastingly at it."

The victory of Dr. Anderson is one of the biggest_object lessons the young conference women of the struggling young men and women of the Negro race. Let us, like the Star's new and improved fellow, know how to walk." He has our congratulations and best wishes. The joy of the friends of Bishop I. N. Ross is tempered to a considerable degree by the fact that he has been a long-time supporter of that a prelate of his broad administrative gifts, oratorical ability, wide experience in national affairs and power of influencing civic movement in larger areas, and more effectively in a "home" district, where the demand for such talents would be met. He can field. Yet, it is not doubted that Bishop Ross will adapt himself to any situation in which he may find himself "make good" in his work for the Master. . . . The 10,000,000 Negroes of the land owe it to themselves to respond at the $250,000 toward the $2,000,000 memorial fund in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, university president, and Tuskegee Institute at the high standard set by its illustrious founder. For every $1 given by our people, the Tuskegee Institute will pay $7. We shall be exceedingly short-sighted if we do not take advantage of the appreciation of the help that is being extended to us and to our children—a help that will reach our children's church or mite at once or Tuskegee Institute. The A. M. E. Zion Church exercised high-grade wisdom in its choice of bishops. Drs. Kyles, Clement, Bruce and Lee are all men of fine attentiveness and execution. They are seasoned in the labors that will confront them as chieftains of their demons and as their enthusiastic minis- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. rations. Zion was fortunate, too, in having a rich field for the selection of materials, and the material not called to the Bench this year will be drawn upon later. In the meantime they will find ample opportunities in the pastorate of the many large churches that need strong hands to properly guide their destinies. No, the colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference did not "walk" into the church, but the men to be "set aside"—to be segregated into a colored general conference, and to be sent to the church being denied the privilege of directing their own laborers in the Master's vineyard. Two years from the church North and South, will unite, and the separation of the colored membership and the re-organization of 000 colored communicants, are designed to clear the way for the approaching "love-feast." There is verity in the statements, the church is a social organization, with religion as a by-product. The action of the A. M. E. Zilon Conference in retiring the venerable Bishops J. W. Hood and C. R. Harris in the church, and the fitness ofitness of these. Great Christian forces had served admirably in their day and generation, but had been unable to maintain the fitness in the strenuous labors of the Episcopacy of an advancing church. Time is completeness in its ravages, and they were completeness to give way to taming and training men. This will come to all in season. Notwithstanding their retirement from active work on the bench. Bishops Hood and W. Hood were present to render Zlon a priceless service by preparing for posterity a comprehensive history of the rise, achievements and work of the Mother of the Mother church of Afro-American Methodism, the Church of Varkir. The Cleveland Gazette, ever alert for the truth in reporting matters, is "afraid that who habitually sends out matter to colloed papers, which misrepresent the people of Ohio in general, and Columbo in particular, that the report sent to the Pittsburg Courier that Mrs. Mosby, of the N. A. University, as an exchange for the votes of colored women for support of the race, equality" as an exchange for the votes of Mrs. Mosby asked was the help of the white women in abolishing the discriminations against colored people in the city. Mrs. Mosby should continue to show up as a colloed paper, which is "whang" at flooding race papers with cut-out misinformation which they accept, knowing the fakirish characteristics of the writer. In retaining as its financial secretary that astute financier, Prof. John R. Hawkins, should be appointed, he shown a degree of wisdom that will ultimately be accepted by all of the branches of Methodism. The head of the financial department should be an astute financier, who, by virtue as a business executive, and experience in the handling of large affaires, should select a financial great commercial connoisseur would select its general manager, and he should be retained as long as he gives satisfactory advice to the church when financial secretaries were permitted to use their office as a mere stepping-stone to the bishopric, is passing. If a layman is chosen, he has no chance of being appointed as a layman of keeping at the helm a competent and satisfied master of finance.

CURLEY, the Crow, is an interesting heap big injun. He uses the language like a professor of English. If the plan of the German food supervisor carries, the Germans will not eat meat for six weeks. If that were the colored "brethering" there would be "mutiny" right then and there. June started all right with its "rareish" days, but somehow it got its dates mixed. Overcoats and straw hats are violent extremes, yet that's what has ruled this week. O, what shall the harvest be? Perhaps it is known by this time. Thinking of the Chicago convention. The same words and tune are quite as well adapted for St. Louis next week. The Phyllis Wheatley Home of Chicago entertained Tuesday evening, June 6, in honor of Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, Mississippi and George L. Knox, publisher of The Freeman. A feature of the evening was a presentation of a painting, "Hypatia," by W. E. Scott, to the home. The affair, which, according to the invitations was an informal, was under the supervision of Thomas Wallace Swann, the well known literate and promoter. The daily newspapers had it that Alex E. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, was hurt in a wreck on the Rock Island railroad last week. It could not have been serious else our genial townman would have limped into port long ere this. A man that has two national conventions to make in two weeks hasn't got time to pay much attention to the loss of a limb or so. A convention is the first of earthly things with Mr. Manning, not to speak of two. In deciding the Louisiana contest case at Chicago this week those in charge took the wise view that it was not good policy to cut out wholly either faction the so-called "Lily Whites" and "Black and Tans". Both delegations were seated, the members being permitted a half vote each. The white men were not contented at this decision; but the committee concluded that to favor them would be at the expense of the Negro vote in the Northern states. Quitte a correct view. The canal is still giving up its dead. Another man was found floating on its surface the other day. And the strange thing about its prey is that only a very few have been identified. In most cases it were left to the stream to announce the sad intelligence of the taking off of another soul. A brief flurry as to the how and when by the officials, then all were quiet again. So it has been for many a day, and so it promises until the end of time provided the stream does not in the meanwhile go from us. The stream, its banks, could be beautified like Fall creek, but it's situation is too unfortunate for that. Yet it is just the right kind to beautify. Its flow is equable. Storms and floods do not chafe it. It is doggedly persistent in its one way, and equally so in swallowing "up" human kind. It is said, still water runs deep—the moral. The English, according to their figures, came out best off Jutland, but at that they have suffered a broadside which plowed deep into the vitals of that country. This was the loss of Earl Kitchener who was as formidable in the martial affairs of Great Britain as Archilles before the walls of Troy. He went down to a miserable death; one that no hero courts, struck by some great invisible foe where retaliation or vengeance was impossible. England mourns its Lord of Khartum and of other fields where he demonstrated his great military war. The present great foe is footing is due to his insight and persistence. It is said that he was not personally loved. He had no attractive qualities. He was built for war—never had a wife, insisting that a man could not be a good soldier and a good husband at the same time. The disposal of the contest cases of the delegates to the National Republican Convention at Chicago was about as satisfactory as it was humanly possible to have made them. The Louisiana case was most fragrant, the opposing sides going so far as to issue pamphlets that told of the private character of the men. Perhaps such a thing was never done before. Nor was it the proper thing to do. A political convention is not a Sunday school affair by any means. The glasses are not to be trained too closely on men who make up political gatherers. Parties are not made up to preach morals, and while the moral man will be the preferred man in most capacities, yet there is nothing to urge against men who have not always chosen the straight and narrow way. The scrutiny of one man's character means the scrutiny of all or else it's no fair play. Among the notables that passed away this week was Yuan Shih-k'ai, president of the Chinese republic, who died Tuesday, June 6. Politically his death is held to be timely in view of the revolution that was brewing, having for its object his disposal. This was, perhaps, owing to his own conduct in trying to switch the republic to a monarch with himself as the first of a new house of rulers. The Chinese have been proverbially indifferent as to what happened to them in the past. But it seems as if they have been touched and quickened in this new century which is so big with meaning to mankind. The slight-hand change by the president was not at once cried down as it would have been in the countries of great civilization, however, the regenerating influences of the newer years were saving, and which with the opposition of the world to the change, called Mr. Yuan Shi-k'ai to book. He changed his mind, but his action had sown the seed of turbulence. His successor, Li Yuan Hung, the former vice-president, is in accord with the new and aggressive faction which is in for a republic after the manner of the United States with its grand opportunities. CURLEY, THE CROW Indianapolis was visited this week by an Indian who tells us that he is Curley, the Crow, a half breed, and the only survivor of the Custer massacre of years ago which became famous owing to the utter disaster to Custer's men. He carries documents and newspaper clippings from cities in the West, and which speak of him accordingly as he says. They also speak of his unusual intelligence and services rendered the government. Curley is a mixture of Scotch and Indian. His right name is Ben McIntosh, a name which at once establishes his Scotch ancestry. His appearance does the rest as it concerns the Indian amalgam. He was born in 1841 in Wyoming, but in spite of his seventy-five years he is vigorous and active. He is also agreeable in appearance. When five years of age Curley was kidnapped by the Crow Indians and from whom he received his name. He was raised by them. He speaks many dialects. Speaking of the fight which is popularly known as "Custer's Last Fight" he said that of the 473 men engaged he was the only man that escaped. He and his pony were the only live things that got away from General Custer's side. He wears a badge inscribed "Curley, the Crow of the Custer Massacre, U.S., June 26, 1876, by order of Secretary Belknap." At this time Curley says that he is a Gen. Funston scout. He is on his way to Washington where he has business in connection with land transactions in the West. He is said to be worth considerable money. COLORED MEN AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Have Good Standing With the Repub lican Party. CHICAGO, June 6—Among the colored men from the Southern States who are here for the Republican national convention are some of the most standing in their communities. Most of the contests for seats in the convention came from the South, and in most cases colored were the winners. Most of the seats from Georgia was a notable example of the prominent part that the colored men are taking in the convention, the Georgia delegation was contested, and the attorney for the contestants was Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is said to be one of the leading lawyers of the state of Some of the members of the national committee have said that Johnson made the most masterly presentation of his work, and he appeared before the committee. Johnson is a splendid orator, in addition to being a first class lawyer. He was invited to make some campaign speeches in Indiana this year, and he may ac- His Side Victor. Another colored lawyer who made a good impression before the committee he was a part of. New Orleans Vance was one of the contesting delegates-at-large from Louisiana, and his vote was one of the few votes Vance for many years, and he is invited the colored lawyer to make speeches in the campaign, and Mr. Vance nominated him for the request. The COCM, a colored lawyer from New Orleans and one of the contesting delegates-at-large, also is prominent among the colored people of his city, and he is a strong advocate of violent Independent Life Insurance Company, a vigilante of Wagner, Okla., is a prominent lawyer in his part of that state. He has lived in Oklahoma for seventeen years, having been born and raised in New Orleans. Two Colored Bankers. Two colored bankers from Texas are among those who came from that state to the nation. Mr. L. McDonald, of Ft. Worth, and the other is H. L. Price, of Palestine. Mr. McDonald is one of the delegates-at-large who will be able to be perhaps the cleverest colored politician in Texas. He is president of the Republican pany at Ft. Worth, and he is also the grand secretary of the colored Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas. In addition to Mr. McDonald, he is a strong supporter of Charles W. Fairbanks for the nomination for President. Price is cashier of the Farmers and Citizens' Savings Bank of Pales- In most of the contests in which colored men were involved, the national committee decided in the favor and award the convention's Ellis Searles in the Indianapolis Temples. EDITOR LEE L. BROWN, OF THE LOUISVILLE NEWS, REPRESENTS TO MAPHICAN IN THE CONFERENCE NEWS TEAM OF LAST WEEK IN WHICH TOLBERT ACCUSES BROWN OF MAKING AN ATTACK ON THE PHAN TEMPLE. Louisville, Ky. June 5, 1916. Mr. Enoch KEEK of Indianapolis, Pennsylvania. Dedicated Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Mr. Knox—Please allow me space to reply to the news item sent from this. The editor of this corner does not mean that Lee Brown is going to enter into a mudsliding contest this week what a native of Kentucky would do when his honor and his name has been attacked through the press. The editor of this corner an article from the pen of Hardin Tolbert, known throughout the country on account of being wrong more times than right, in sending his items to the press. As editor of the Louisville News and as a man who has always been able to make statements in these columns last week the statements in these columns last week plebe is false and misleading. At no time, either through the press or in private conversation, have I ever made the statement that all Kentuckians are proud of. I have had my own private opinions regarding some of the things that go into building, but I have always had sense enough to either discuss them with the Pythians or in the lodge room. When I visited the lodge room of the John K. Mason lodge of which I am a member, I was given a glowing tribute to the Pythian Temple. It is indeed unfair and misleading to hold the editor of the Louisville News and his assoc. responsible for the article. I a series of articles for by a committee of Pythians who claimed they had an axe to grind. I do not believe that this does not sertion of the matter and would have THE FREEMAN.

Thursday afternoon of last week "Rube" won another game from the Cubans. Pardon pitched a fine game, and the ball was lead in the fourth, lining in with Hill and single a trifle too slow and Chacon was on second before the ball was replayed. The game went on longer later. The ninth was the imminent that brought every one to their feet, Duncan, the first man up, singled, the first hit the Glants had got off the Cubs, and the second hit the Giants was put on the run for Duncan. Rube went to the bat for Petway and hit to Chacon who went to Rodrigues, and the third hit the catcher tried to double Rube at first but Rube was in his way and the ball passed his shoulder, rolling to the right and the run went across. The fourth hit 1 in favor of the American Giants. Glants Win Last Game The American Giants won the last game of the season, was on the slab for the home team and took the mound first and not hold the score ended 4 to 2 in favor of the Giants. Big Game Sunday. The American Giants left on Sunday night for St. Louis, Mo., to be gone for the game. The Giants Sunday, at which time the largest crowd of the season will be present, will be joined by the other of "Rube" and a hundred other Texans will see the game. Col.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell BILLY KING & CO. AT TH EGRAND "Arizona Dick" and "The Joy Riders" Amuse—Dotson, the Black Steper, Remained With Glowing Rewardity. The last half of last week "The Joy Riders" was produced with a real voice, which was farical called for considerable work in cues for extemporaneous musical dialogue and in that which Billy Kelley did, the other comedian of his race. Everything he did was funny and even his straight work kept his dialogue well under control in diversification. Billy Walker, whose comedy work was good, also had a good song and entertained lagged in his dialogue. The joy riders Gertrude Saunders, Thressa Burroughs-Brooks, Estelle Harle, Georgia Kelly and Babe Brown. The song numbers vaudeville held over Dotson, the black steper, whose popularity continued, and neck strut were all suppressed his singing voice was musical. The two white acts were the Blooms, reared and clean and deceptive, especially in cabinet work, where a child is revealed. Dora Pellettet was a character singing talented talent but her pipes were frozen. Pekin Theatre Opens With Pictures— All, Newix, Decorated.

Among delegates at large from the south who have arrived for the conference, Mr. Collins is the host of the Saturday News of Hopkinsville, Ky., and Walter Robinson, attorney from the city of Joseph W. Hennesson of Providence, R. L., was also an early arrival. When I heard that Hon. George L Knox, published of the Freeman, was in the city last week, I hurried to meet him. I found him, to greet him.

There was a banquet given to the national delegates and visitors at Teenan Jones' place in the upper cafe last Monday evening by the citizens' com-munity club and the African American Club was to have furnished the entertainment, but the occasion took on a political aspect instead. The De Luxe and Panama cabarets to the chilly weather. The Mineral and Stop Off Buffets were right in time. The La Verde and George Holts Missionaries were of 56th and state streets, had a large patronage. Oh this life of weary longing, For the relative whose down, Weak and cumbersome, ill-fated Easily led and hauled around. Oh the weary, weary longing For the friend whose going wrong, With a strong determined purpose To be blindly led along. Oh the goodbye to the loved one Where the virtues of the devil Weary longing plots have planned. —Sylvester Russell. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TRE. PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gray.)

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 The rich man sat in palace grand, And yet his heart was grieved and a nation's wealth at his command, He still contrived to make it more. By well laid plans of scheming mind, By devious ways of trade and stealth, He won—but woke a morn to find he'd gained in gold—but lost his health. His workman whitled as he toiled, he'd the labor hard or mean; The lure of gold had left unspoiled His mind—his heart and hands were clean. Few were his wants and small his need, Enough for these his workman's pay; Untouched by his wealth, he resisted each new day. And this the moral that I found From observation of these two; The truth is clear, the logic's sound Without reserve 'tis given you. Moral. The poor man's one who lets desire Run far in excess of his need. A man's desire requires Enough to satisfy his greed. The rich man's one content with life, And health and money for each need: A loving heart, a home and wife; Tho' he be poor—he's rich indeed. The rich man's one Uncle Sammy" written by Whitney and Tutt, and song by Miss Blanche "Billy" Young, was the song hit of the bill at Gibson's New Standard, Wise Wise Wise. May will also feature the song in their epitopies. Professor Grey, teacher, poet and journalist, must be admitted as one of the best dramatic critics we have, and the theater shows bear evidence that the professor has a comprehensive knowledge of the extensive vocabulary. He also keen appreciation for art in any line. His criticisms are impartial and have encouraged the artists to greater efforts. The colored musicians of Philadelphia have obtained a charter and been admitted to the American Federation of Music Clubs, known as Local 591.

Watkins, assistant conductor of the Masonic band, must be given the principal credit for effusive and enthusiastic service. Also white unions of the city have given much encouragement and assistance.

He recited the new Testament maintained 90 verses or more. He then recited chapter after chapter from either the Old or the New Testaments in a clear and concise presentation. The Psalms of David were his favorite. One had but to quote a line from the Psalms, and the distantly the old gentleman would give the number of the Psalm and recite the whole chapter. After he had recited the Psalms, he would enjoyment of all in the shop, I asked if he was a preacher. He smiled as he answered and said that he was not a preacher. He had just returned an evident astonishment and said that his name was George McBean and a native of Jamaica. He had just returned to Jamaica where he had labored for more than 61 years. He further surprised us by saying that he was 75 years of age and that he had cultured for him to see the compass at night and steer the ship in the right directions. He said that the Lord had given him a book and in return he had made His word a constant study. It is doubtful if there is another man in the country who can recite from memory so many chapters of the Bible as this old gentleman was able to do. John T. Gibson, manager of the Standard theater, must be acknowledged as one of the leading business leaders in the theater. Gibson acquired the Standard it was a showman's graveyard in truth as well as metaphor. Performers spoken by Gibson were in a frightfully dilapidated condition. It had no clientele, and everybody produced. But they did not know the man who the New Standard is as well equipped with ever modern innovation as any other theater. He was titted within and without. Rain or shine, hot or cold, the auditorium is filled with the energy and keen business sagacity of John T. Gibson. Such men are a credit to his race in preserving of the community. He was the chief support of his Brutus. Charles I had his Cromwell and all successful men have their knockers. Knockers are who arise above mediocrity. Jealous of another's success and charged at his own failure he stoops to knocking in the audience. He and the same time detract from the glory of any achievement the object of these attacks have about the same effect upon a real man as the yelping of a little cur dog affects a mastiff. When he is not able to something commendable it to the rest of us to forget his idiosyncracies, ignore his personal appearance, forgive his shortcomings and boost him along. talk. The team of Berrenger and Berrenger, high class entertainers in songs and dances, will entertain us, the $10 pound coon shouter, is in a class by herself. Taylor and Williams, high class buck and browancers, are winning laurels everywhere. The original happy four quarter, Larry the Rapper, Jones and Walter Smith, in rag and classic selections, cast but not beat, the Boad only 2 and not beat, the Hr. Childs, are playing not all of the standards, but some rags and some selections. Every one knows why they are out and out of the profession. Every one is doing nicely and are living as one big family. Why don't you come home? Mr. Worthey is sparing neither time nor money to make the Blossoms one of the best shows of its kind on the pro stage.
