It has cost approximately $10,000,000 to keep guardsmen on duty for 14,000 regulars for three months. This is at the rate of a little more than $10,000 a day. Proportionately, the militia would cost $25,000 a day, and experts in bringing their equipment up to regular army standards. The American soldier will continue the best fed in the world—at a cost of more meat, less food. His stock bottom ration a day is a pound of canned meat, or twelve ounces of bacon. A pound of hard bread, more than an ounce of sugar and salt. To this, he is campaigning, the contingent officer is expected to add whatever supplies money can buy. CHAMPAIGN. ILL. Miss Daisy D.

The Freeman will be sent to any address in the United States one year for $1.00, during the month of July. It now looks as if the Colonel will capitulate to Mr. Hughes. The suffrage women stormed at the Democrats because the said platform had no more to offer on the voting question, and yet the two platforms had practically the same thing. The Democrats did the expected at St. Louis, nominating the old ticket of Wilson and Marshall for President and Vice President. The platform is one of fine utterances and comprehensive, seeming to have been written to outclass that of the Republicans. As a thing of scholarship it will be conceded, we think, that in that respect the Democrats succeeded. However, as a thing of substance it is strikingly similar to that of Chicago. This is so evident that a correspondent of the New York Post, who was at the convention in St. Louis had this to say: "One by one the Democrats, or rather Mr. Wilson, has taken Republican positions, not by storm, but by deliberate strategy, which may or may not be good politics, but it certainly lays the President open to the question whether he has any fixed political principles outside of those relating to the fundamental values of the Wilson political philosophy of the last four years will show a remarkable persistence in the game of stealing the other fellow's clothes, than which there is no more popular game among politicians of either party." The present great war in Europe lends unusual interest to the young men who are assembling in the states preparatory to the emergency of war. They have responded to the call, knowing full well what we cannot help thinking that the great European tragedy has had a sobering effect on the usual high spirits of men when war is the subject. We cannot think that the enthusiasm runs as high as it did when the Maine went down. However, there is a dogged determination on the part of all, from the President down, to either heal the sore spot or cut it out. So we imagine these officers and men now mobilizing are more grim and more resolute, not only because of the European war with its awful lessons, but because our country has been nugged into a frenzy by the Mexicans, a thing that every soldier knows. They know that the probable sacrifice is needless, another thing that works on the nerves, and meaning a terrible reckoning should the great clash come about. If men are forced from the quiet walks of life in answer to a situation which in a way is trifling there will be a hot time "on the road to Monterey." Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Suffrage Association, in her address to the association in this city last Monday evening, made some telling points in the defense of the woman's suffrage movement. Among other things she said that not more than 80 per cent of the men exercise the privilege of the ballot. This was in reply to the charge that many women are not active as it concerns the desire to vote. She has it right when insisting that the men are scarcely more active. It is doubtful if 80 per cent of them go to the polls without the women allies. And, perhaps, it is meant that with all the helps not more than 80 per cent of the men vote. Then again she makes this very sage observation: "I ask you to mobilize a suffrage army and fight for the cause, you women of Indiana. And you men, don't say that you don't want us to trail our skirts in the mire of politics. Remember that women are in the home, in the church, and in the business world, and there is no mire. As the mire is only in politics where women are not, it certainly looks as if they are much needed to clean up that mire." It looks as if those last remarks will hold the opposing brethren for a while. At this time it looks as if the United States is going to have serious difficulty with Mexico. Troops of the various states have been ordered mobilized by the authorities at Washington with the view of patrolling the border of the country touching on Mexico, and which also will be in readiness to invade that country should such a deplorable happening become necessary. Many thoughtful persons have held that only a few wars have been really necessary. There is no way of ascertaining the truth of the assertion, since war is very often built up from minor causes, and which, perhaps, could or could not have been avoided. Knowing that many wars have known before we should hesitate a very long while before taking the awful leap. And it is held that we have hesitated; we have been long sufferers, and according to the well nigh majority opinion the must be brought to a halt. Nevertheless, it appears that we are going to war with a country owing to the doings of lawless bands of men, and to whom attaches no responsibility. How this could be otherwise we are not prepared to say. It but does appear a shame that worthless men should invigile two countries into a war where the sacrifice cannot help being appalling. Here it is that minor happenings which could, or could not have been avoided, have led up to the possibility of great cost. Currents with the Washington authorities know those minor causes, and it is not yet too late to adjust them. America should have war for only downright righteous causes. THE RIGHTS OF THE CIRCUMSPECT According to a report from Baton Rouge, La., the Negroes have won a victory as it concerns equal accommodations on the railroads in that state. The railroad commission for Louisiana in compliance with a demand made by a body of representatives on railroads must provide equal accommodations throughout the state, the same to come about within 60 days. The ruling of the commission is not a victory in the proper sense, nor should it be so considered. No reflection is intended, since the rendering to one his own are at most times agreeable happenings. Had there been a doing away with the separation idea it could have been set down as a victory. The commission, nevertheless, has done the very desirable thing, and the right thing according to the status of affairs in that section. Now if the railroad companies will do as they are ordered much of the hardship along that line will pass away. We say this advisedly, because there was another commission which ordered, because of the very laws, which created the dual systems, and which ordered, because of the agreement of the workers in an氨y to the thoughtful and earnest appeal of Booker T. Washington, because of the humane consideration due a part of the human family, not to speak of the, at least, theoretical equality of citizenship. In spite of all of the preponderance of evidence in the Negroes' favor they stand in the beggarly attitude of praying for their own. And what's more when granted it does have the appearance of victory, or a great concession by those who have the "power and authority" to withhold. Such is the condition that is set up by usage and custom, and as it were in the feudal days when men were afraid to claim their own souls. The master spirit is a terrible psychological force, and has ever been in the world. Since the master spirit has ever been in the world it may be argued that it is the expected in the economy of civilization, instituted by no less authority than heaven itself. In fact, during slavery days, there were those who based the justice of slavery, or the domination of man over man, on the power of the word. Writing the universality of the thing, pervading everywhere even until this day, manifested in a thousand ways, and which comes under our daily observation, does seem to endorse the idea of man's subjugation by man. Let this be as it may, it is equally true that the struggle to rise has also been universal. Up to day, down to morrow, is the recorded history of the past, meaning, plain enough, that there is scant reason to take stock in the favored nation theory regardless of the great differences between people ethnologically considered. That is why, that those farther from the accepted norm, that those farther from the action as set forth by the leading peoples are not forever to suffer from the thing as from some unatoneable sin. Domination, ownership of a kind, authority doubtless are very pleasing relations in life. Nor can we view it less pleasant for one than the other. Perhaps, there never was a cheerful slave in all of the world. This is proof enough that the thing of a too meek a submissiveness was not ordered of heaven. Gurth, the Saxon swineh尔德, of Ivanhoe fame, was as humble and as protestant against his fate as Uncle Tom of Harriet Beecher Stowe fame. The same slave and master spirit operated in either case, when the will of one was completely swallowed up in that of another. We have the entail of the days of slavery making for humbleness on the one side and dominance on the other, resulting in the many peculiar concerns where the Negroes are not expected. We are not trying to work around that seeming necessity for "jim crow" concerns owing to peculiar character. The total race is not appalled first—first, but in the bed of Pisistratus should not become a modern inquisition. All do not fit it. Some are too long for it, others are too short, consequently the thing of evolution should have a share in the adjustment of conflicting conclusions. Butterflies are now no longer caterpillars. What will they do with them? If there must be separate concerns for the races based on opposing race conditions—a sentimental something—it is clearly the right of either race to have the full benefit of those things accorded by the laws—and which is more than sentiment. REGISTERING RIGHT. When asked concerning our views on the proposed new constitution for Indiana we hesitated in expressing them, knowing how the states' constitutions as a rule stand on certain questions that touch on the negroes as a race. We felt that it was something of an honor to have been solicited for an opinion, and which we gave in spite of the fact that there is reason to believe that the state will not do different to what it has done as it concerns matters referred to, or different to what most of the states have done by way of their constitutions. The danger from suffrage measures, we think, are remote, since whatever tests that could be named could as easily be met by the negro voters, and as it has been in some of the Southern states. Of course, the negroes could not get grandfathers in the war of the Revolution, or fathers in the Confederate army as required by some of those constitutions. Aside from this they were, in a few years, prepared to compete with the average white man for the benefits of the suffrage. In event of a new constitution for Indiana nothing of this nature is probable, so we may feel reasonably assured that the race will escape at least stringent or impossible suffrage tests; due of course, in part, to the fact that any tendency to eliminate negroes will have a similar effect on the white voters. How the negroes can expect the elimination of that other civil iniquity—an anti-intermarriage law—we can not so readily see. We say this in face of what we may call ample In- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. indiana justice. There is no racial feeling in this city, Indianapolis, where the great bulk of negroes reside, against the ministration of the laws. Rarely do we hear complaint of injustice at the bar. The judges, especially those of recent years, have been particularly fair. They have, from time to time, met the negroes, addressing them, making it clear that their consciences and manhood warred against malpractice or subversion of the laws as they concerned any manner of men. Judge Collins has lost nothing in standing for legal righteousness, affirming it, and then taking his chances at the ballot box. It says that the community is nearly ideal in the matter. THEATRES HERE AND SPORTS THE AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YOR By Jack Trotter THE LONG BRANCH CUBANS TAKE THE MEASURE OF LIN-COLN STARS IN AN EXCITING SUNDAY BASEBALL CONTEST. (By ack Trotter) Special to The Freeman: Cuban X Glan R Griffen, 3b Terrell, cf. Barnard, c P. Johnson, c W. Jones, rf C. Johnson, 1b H. Johnson, 2b Brown, p Thomas, ss Colored lawyers speak with warmth of the fairness of the courts. Not long since two colored men were appointed to act as special judges. But in spite of all of this marriages between white persons and those of negro descent are interdicted by the state. It will not be understood that we are entering a plea for a different ordering based on a desire of amalgamation, or because of a demand on the negroes as indifferent to the thing they arerying white persons as the white people are to marrying negroes. We have in mind the principles of a true republic as conceived by the progenitors of this nation and which materialized the thing hoped for, in principle, in the dark days of the 60s, and announced through the latter amendments to the general constitution. It is not the purpose here to embarrass, by agitation, those who will deal with the new constitution, or the members of our race who seem content to let things go as they have gone. It is the purpose, however, to register in the name of right and truth, regardless of what may befall us. We are aware that the country is practically one way on the intermarriage question. And we have no protest against the sentiment. We do protest the sentiment becoming a thing of legislation. In other words we are not in favor of mixed marriages, but do not oppose them. We are not in favor of laws declaring mixed marriages of whatsoever nationalities. Such laws are the usurpation of individual rights, and in principle destructive to morals. Such laws tend to put portions of a common people at premium and others at a discount. Such laws are not laws, but proscriptions, and meant to studiously build up classes, a most reprehensible thing from the viewpoint of governmental machination. In spite of these facts which without doubt appeal to all fair minded men the following states forbid certain marriages. They are as follows: Marriages between whites and persons of negro descent are prohibited and punishable in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia. Marriages between whites and Indians are void in Arizona, North Carolina, Oregon, and South Carolina, and between whites and Chinese in Arizona, California, Mississippi, Oregon and Utah. The list is formidable, but if it is carefully scanned it will be noted that a few states escaped. So we are not so peculiarly alone in the matter as one might think. Again we insist that we are not offering this so much to influence a change as we are offering it in an expositional sense. However, we do register in the interest of a change, but not in a sense of agitation. Knowing the right in the matter there is nothing else left for us to do.

The Royal Giants gave the Lincoln Giants a bad beating in the first game against the Cannon Ball Redding. The Lincoln Giants went down to defeat in the Tri-County league on Sattler and the hands of the Morristown team. The Lincoln are now in last place. Louis Miller, the crack third baseman, played a wonderful game this year. He puts you in mind of Francis when he was in his prime. He scored two victories over the Long Branch Cubans at Poughkeepsie. N. Y., on Thursday, then went on to Scheevey and defeated the general Electric team by a score of 9 to 1. The Long Branch Cubans certainly gave the Lincoln Stars a bad beating in the two games and defeated diately after the game Captain Pottus released Culver, who made ten errors before the shortstop, and Bailey, the left fielder. The double-header between the Lincoln Stars and the Long Branch Cubs will be the first this coming Sunday at Lowry Oval will without any doubt be the most sensational battle seen yet in the colored baseball world. The teams have so far playing four games and each the fifth, and the fans will turn out in extra numbers for their return engagement, both teams will certainly be in prime condition for the greatest effort in the struggle for a pregnancy that they have ever before shown. NEWS AN DNOTES OF THEATERS AND SPORTS. (By ack Trotter) NEW YORK CITY, June 22.—Clerary Muse, a star of the late Lincoln play, appeared at the Laffey theatre last week and for the first time since his entrance into the field of drama enough to bring out the full depth of his acting abilities. "The Master Mind" was the play which gave him his opus, and the actor of the title role with such forceful acting that his audience was as fully under his hypnotic influence as his play-fellows appeared to be on the stage. Even during the many months of stock presented at the Lincoln theater, Muse did not show up as principal, he did not show the deep, impressive and emotional vividness that he portrayed in the biggest part he produced in New York City. At that, Mr. Muse's support in certain spots was so weak that it had a tendency to be overpowered. Nevertheless he was fortunate in having the able and experienced assistance of Mr. Charles Olden, Mr. S. Kirkland, Mr. Charles Moore and Miss Laura Bowman. Mrs. Charles Olden. Issuing from a field of triumphs brought through his clever characterizations of types presented by him at Laffayette playhouse last week in the most critical of audiences, Mr. Charles Olden made his initial debut at the Laffayette playhouse last week in the Walt Disney film, in the "Master Mind." Like all of his efforts in drama, his portrayal of the playful, intelligent and real that, had he not been cast for the part, we believe that interest in the play would have been seriously lessened. Mr. Olden, who is pronounced by the people who know as being one of the best and cleverest players in drama, was a master of the drawing of parts. Knowing well the really meritorious ability of this versatile little actor, we are surprised that whom he has appeared have not seen it to cast him for a part in some of the plays to which Mr. Olden could play, but whom he has not played him a range of view large enough to bring out all of his concealed talent. Mr. Andrew Bishop. Mr. Andrew Bishop, who played the title role in "The Man on the Box" in a recent production at the Lafayette Theater, was one of the best heavies in colored stock. His work, always enjoyable, was in this play almost masterly. Mr. Bishop hand wielded lines in this play well, even well below the height which he had over his features was really remarkable. The one thing lacking, the thing which so no one has seen in his macabre Many of his lines were flattened because he couldn't quite lose sight of the fact that he it was Bishop, and because who was there before the audience. This consciousness of Mr. Bishop's attribution to the theater attended by people who all know him. Perhaps these people expect many characteristics disqualify him, even as both he became a well-known actor in the Harlem neighborhood, well known for his work which he is subjected to by Producer Winn, he has a fair chance of getting broke of this trait of comedy, but he is one of the strongest leads in the country, if not the strongest. Natural ability is not so important so that the *New Lincoln Theater*. After a week of picture triumphs at the Lincoln theater, Mr. Billie Winn has long and resourceful arm for still bigger and better things in the way of screen productions and auditions, not small and resourceful to the great success of last week's vaudeville bill that was the subject of a trophy, Thompson, Cooper and Thompson. HENRY BINGA DISMOND AND TED MEREDITH. (By Herman E. Foster) We have with us today the world's greatest quarter-milers in the persons of the western athletics, who do the western athletics horizon, and James Edward Meredith, the proud possessor of several Olympic and American champions. To the majority of athletic sharps the world over, the speedy lad from Penn is the better of the pair, while the former is the better of the pair, who have not forgotten the colored runner's performance of "forty-seven-two" at Evanson some weeks ago, ar, will have been given the opportunity. Rinpa will give Ted a fine laceting at The First Trust Company Organized in Indiana. Welcomes Your Savings Account, Large or Small, and Offers Your Every Facility and Convenience for Saving Money. their next meeting. He was placed in the finals of the 440-yard dash in the national championships last August. Meredith triumphed over Dismond with apperception in the finals. He tried to run a brawny race, while the former ran a brainy one. As a result, Meredith tied the pair met again in the great Suburban quarter at the Knights of St. Anthony games in the Twelfth Regional game of many. The amount of many, Dismond won from Meredith by eight yards, thereby winning handsome $500 trophy offered the victor. In the recent intercollegiate games in Harvard stadium, Meredith broke the record for the distance of Maxey Long's by running the distance in 47 2-5 seconds. The Quaker broke by himself and his record was thought to be inaccessible by any of the present-day runners. But when the collegiate team met Ted's four-forty mark one week later it shook the athletic world like an earthquake, especially the section here at East. Unto this day some of the writers doubt Dismond's performance probably because he is not a player. However, every athletic fan in these United forty-eight states is looking for a player in September at Newark, where his world's greatest quarter-milers will meet in the "440 for the third time. He will be playing in a game is on equal footing. The sporting circles are exercising the same amount of pressure when Henry Hillman and John B. Taylor were rivals. They finally met in a matched "six hundred" with the opposing team. The Madison Square Garden. The Colored athlete vanquished his opponent. So history in athletics has repeated itself. Hillman in the national championships of 1918? W. H. Eckersall in the Pittsburgh Park. He has the following to say of Dismond. "When Ted Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania ran the quarterfinals of the new world's record, the dopesters thought the mark would stand for years. The quakers made a move. When the Western classic was held, Binga Dismond of the University Chicago came in. The Eastern team came in with same time under the same conditions. "The Maroon, who is a strong, sturdy runner, led from start to finish, and words, he was 'right' on that day, and if he had been pressed he might "Dismond is the right type to run a quarter-mile. He is tall and rangy and seldom shows up, not only hung up a new Western record and tied the world's mark, but he ran two heats in the milestone another quarter in the milestone race. A. B.

AT THE GRAND "The Face in the Window", and Regal & Bender Make a Hit. "The Manicure Girls" was a one-act farce-comedy which opened on Monday evening. It was light material, but it was full of fun and it proved of fun that seem to please the Grand theater audiences. The name of the play is sufficient for the plot and good lighting, but the King appeared as a delusive saphede, dressed patriotically with a flag vest in honor of war, but looking for a job. The audience was furnished everybody with liquor lozenges and fun galore was furnished in the manicure parlor and Saur's room. And good gals were Miss Holt and Babe Brown did a little comedy and Georgia Kelly did a neat piece of comedy song concerts every week strong. The white vauduette had Senator Murphy, an extemporaneous monologist, in the reversal of things that had been the character J. Hayes in a scenic musical act, with musical trunk, clock, guitar and radiator, was good, and the Two Lows, and their tricks were good. The white vaudeville had Mike Bernard as second headliner. Bernard, a dancer, was also a manipulator rather than a ragtime player of the African swing. He is of rebeau descent. He was assisted by Claudia Tracey, a beautiful Irish girl, Irish-American, of course, and a real comedienne and athlete. Her muscular body was assisted by sonation of the down eastern Yankas, with dancing, were features which made Company was a young actor who gave a splendid playlet typical of the lazy young American boy who soldiers on the front line. The girl in the cast was as good as he was pretty. Stone and Mannings were two dancers who were fairly good.

When some sweet spirit, we have loved, Back to its Maker, quick has flitted; Or, when we find our heart's great love Is thrust aside, and unrequited; We view thru eyes, be-dimmed with the lonely vista of the years. the lonely Alas he bleeds by Hope's bright rays; Oh then, how dark—how dark, the days. When dawn breaks of youth so reary bright, Lake bubbles frail, in air, have bursted; When ear tinnitus Apathy declare Turt's Life's battle we've worsted; We've never failed to stand the test, And life seems but a sorry jest; When graying hair, old age betrays, Oh then how dark—how dark, the dark When youthful follies, Long forgot, Like ghosts unbidden, come to fright When some sweet sin, indulged in sport, With fearful scourge, returns to the dance. The debt we owe must then be paid With interest, for time delayed; We count the cost in shocked amaze- Oh then! how dark—how dark, the days. —By Salem Tutt Whitney.

Charles "Lucky" Roberts is the most sensational and one of the most popular piano players in the country. Not only is he a piano player of excess, but he is also the most famous house of the word. And he is a composer of merit. His "Junk Man Man" *Pork and Onion* and his "Ragtime" *pianist* copated numbers are played all over the world. He has the distinction of being the only "ragtime" pianist who has recorded for the Victor machine. His beautiful composition, "The Robin and the Red Rose," sung by the public, is pronounced by this great artist to be the best number of its kind before the public thrust upon Mr. Roberts. I have never been able to determine.

Write care of The GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE .BILHALELPHIA. DeKoven Thompson, Opal Cooper and Creighton Thompson in full evening dress, who are the greatest singing theatrical stars, will present "spot" on the bill seen this week at Gibson's New Standard Theater. They know how to sing entertaining songs with just the right sort of voice, and they ease as accompanists to their singing and their air of enjoyment of their work preposses any audience in favor of these three gentlemen of the song. The Curtis Center so beautifully done, calls for special commendation. theatrical trip he demonstrated to his father how proficient he was in the art of dancing. It was a rather one-sided performance, with satisfaction to let the right do most of the work. So his father remarked very significantly: "Young man, you haven't done anything until you get that left foot to working" I took the hint and in a short time his feet were worked 50-50. Shortly after this he amused his father with his ability to play "rags" upon the piano. Everybody was hailing Lucky, the rattleman, pianist. The father took him aside when next they met and said: "You're going fine. I'm proud of you, people, everybody is talking about you, number them this, do you your head get too big for the hat you are wearing. When that calamity takes place, progression ceases and you will be able to play it." Lucky took this hint also and there is no one who will accuse Lucky of having a "swell" head. Lucky is a yet a boy with a boy's progenitor, a drop of man's a capacity for hard work and study. He neither smokes, chews tobacco or gambles, nor plays the piano, but a man's capacity for hard work and study. He is a friend for study and delights in his work. Therein lies the secret of his wonderful work, the passion for his lips. He is a friend for study and delights in his work. Therein lies the secret of his wonderful work, the passion for his lips. He is a friend for study and delights in his work. Lucky's services are in constant demand because he is thoroughly reliable and his integrity is impeccable. He has written stories that it may inspire an inspiration to other young artists. The National theater, Wilmington, Delaware. Hopkins is one of the prettiest in the country. It is well attended. The addition of decorates at the piano is exceptional. ... There is no better drawing card in colored vaudeville than Johnny Woods and Little Henry. They are a perennial favorite among amusements; see them again and again with no abatement of pleasure. As a ventriloquist Johnny Woods stands in the little objects, most strenuously to being called a dummy. He claims to be twice as old as Johnny Woods, but he is not. That if it wasn't for him (Little Henry) Johnny would not have any act. The proof of his claim is contained in the fact that Johnny is afraid to dispute him. . . . I was called to look at the condition of a dressing room, by two women in white shirts, of the next week's company of vaudevillians. The room in question had been occupied the previous week by two women in white shirts, paper, lunch refuse, cigarette butts, gin and whiskey bottles. One of the women remarked that a shame* and they looked so sweet and innocent when upon the stage. What would their mothers say if they could see this room*? I would say they could say. I knew the young women and it was a disagreeable surprise. Even now I do not think the young women were guilty of the same thing. I clean the room. They are very popular and well liked. In fact they are very nice. I saw the littleette butts and the gin bottles were left there by the boys who came to call on them during the week, but they were not in the sight of those cleaners. We are often too careless of our de- pendence while we are deeply in the theater. We are before the public dependent upon it for support, and this same public assumes, by the same means, a right able to meddle in our personal affairs. Very little of what we do behind us seem to reach the public when we bow or ask for question. When we do our best we are too ill represented and our support for our conduct of a few. It should be the aim of all performers to so deport them their profession and make it as desirable and as creditable as any of the their profession and men and women obtain a livelihood. SPECIAL TO THE FREEMAN Some Facts About the Colored Profession. Managers, if we want to be successful, let us get together and do away with the "never-was" performer. On it is much to blame as the other. The manager, in many cases hurts his own skin, so how good your act is: with him it is how cheap will you work and I will make good, that means will you stand a cut every week until you get so low that you can't get away, then he will make good, that means will you stand after you have run completely out and the people will not stand for you. he will send you over to his friends. This is the Down Home acts. Now there is one-half of our colored acts who learn what they now on some carnival and dance, plant show doing Eph and Dinah they jump to the Dudley time and if they play Philadelphia, and if Manager Gibson let them slip by they go to New York to play the them. Then he comes back to the South and grabs a bunch of poor mourner shouters and tries to do some songs as Wild About My Man. Then he puts a big ad in the Freemans Big Lob Gob Stock Company, just from New York. Then the company go people have to go to the Big Lob and do some songs as Wild About My Man. Titanic Blues," St. Louis Blues," Pussy, Cat Rag," and many Shake Me My Head," and many歌gestives songs with two meanings. Now brother performers, let us refrain from such and think if we must be in the business and want to be successful, don't steal his or her act beaten, don't steal his or her act beaten, never do the other fellows act as well as you can your own. So if you have THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER not the brains to put your act together, get some one to write you an act and let it be different from the one you want. Now, Mr. Manager, you must wake up and don't take the vaudeville business for your social pleasure, but make it just what it really is, is a paying job.

Any person who can read the times and the dates has had times in Europe is not broke, nor anywhere near A letter would have answered the letters, but nothing like that for Lili Arthur. The former champion had no time to fool around letter writing, for he was in a bad mood at a boxing arena, but in the bull ring and against a real bull. Many people will no doubt say "someone is," but it comes to mind that he would trade to fight a Spanish bull. Whether he will play the part of the matador or pleadder, he will know he could forge a deal what he intended to in the grand celebration. Evidently, Homesick. DAYTON, OHIO.

Both landed on the canvas, and Rosen tossed them over or through the guard of the young heavyweight. Rosen was trying all the time to land a hay-tail. Rosen was not so fortunate to be caught with any long swings. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT.

C., Special, June 6. —The "Player Folk" are coming to be and their doings form a large and interesting part of the news of the day. Washington is the most popular of the theatrical activity among the colored people, ranking with New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia in this response. Eleanor Walters' thrilling drama of society follies and fables, "Fine Feathery Week" is a play done weekly at the Howdy by the famous Broadway Players, Company No. 1. The cast is a nine-person cast, done in the usually effective style. The characters are taken as follows, and their names stand for the act: Miss Collins, the neighbor; Miss Cleo Desmond; Jane Reynolds, the artist; Mrs Reynolds, the husband; Laurence Chenault; "Dick Meade, the friend"; Babe Townsend; "John Brand, the friend"; Freda the hired girl; Miss Dennis George. Miss Hepcytia Vinton Davis is scoring as a dramatic reader in Bermuda. It is ramped the Merrell Curtis is to join the "Broadway Players." He is an actor of great promise and will probably adopt the stage as a career. The Whitman Sisters, with a repertoire of brand-new offerings, gave a fine entertainment Wednesday at Howard Gabbert, on Georgia avenue. Manager A. C. Winn, of the "Broadway Players," will be able to announce shortly that he has secured a suitable theater to hire and will add that offer to his string. Johnny Woods and "Little Henry" have finished two big weeks at Dudley and are off to Atlantic City. Mr. Woods returns here in a fortnight and will hold forth at the Blue Mouse. Miss Lottie Gee (Mrs. Will H. Kyer) is now making her home in a new apartment in Atlantic City. The premier sister team, King and Gee, are doing an eight weeks' engagement in New England and are in Boston now. Next week Broadway Company No. 5 will be hosting a romance of the great West. This company embraces Ruth Cherry, Ed Tolliver, Sidne Kirkpatrick, Miss Laura Howard, H. Burris and others equally talented. Miss Minnie Hackleys has abandoned the stage for the time being and has moved to port News, Va. Miss Hackleys has a fine farm in Virginia and will spend a portion of her summer there with her mother. Miss Susie Sutton, the character imitates her husband, has boarded her housing establishment here and placed her household goods in storage. She is return-ing to the farm, will be seen at the larger houses in a new line of monologue and character studies. Miss Theresa Burroughs-Brooks, who made such a pronounced hit here with her performance, has said that excellent aggression in Chicago may return East at the close of her season. The Broadway Players companies. She has no superior on the stage in ingeneue roles, and is talented as a singer and dancer. Robert Hillard's "Pride of Race," which managers to accept a story that deals with the race problem along serious and natural lines, is to be brought back home. The call for the third believes in the broad principles of racial liberty protruded in the play and will continue in the stellar role of "Dee-gan Folk." Merrill Curtis, who has won merited fame as an interpreter of Shakespearean tragedy, is to call for thematic power, is to become a member of the Winn forces and may appear with the Broadway Playhouse in "The Winner," scheduled here week of June 19. Young Curtis is the youngest son of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis, of this city. The Quality Amusement Company, handling three companies of the "Broadway Players," have about con- trol of the Philadelphia and Baltimore. Efforts are being made to secure suitable houses in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Louisville, which would make a magnificent outfit for their big dramatic productions. Mr. Meer Levy, business representative of the "Broadway Players," has been his friendly disposition and courteous treatment of both the players and the management of the managerial world and will some day take rank with Frohman, Hammerstein, Ziegfeld and the rest of the magnates of the theatre business. Miss Maude J. Roberts, who delighted Willem De Koehler with the musical festival given by the Washington Concert Orchestra, has dramatic soprano of wonderful power and range. Miss Roberts achieved another signal triumph at Nashville with the 2012 production of the Fisk University commencement. The people at large are urging Managers Thomas and Dudley to have the "Broadway Players," put on "Within the Gates," a dramatic production of the Fisk University commencement. This play is an exceptionally strong one and the company is "letter-writing," felt that it would be wise for the management to drop some of the less popular dramas in contemplation and pre-ordination of the Law," with "Madame X" to follow. A to follow. Miss Laura Bowman, star of "The Wolf," and the only woman in the play, she will be the lead actress at the leading theaters of St. Petersburg, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Paris and London. She speaks fluently Russian, French, and English. Besides being an actress of superior talent, she is also a musician of rare talents. She is a pianist and other instruments and a splendid singer. She will be seen here again at an early date. Lew W. Henry, as we predicted, is making a success in the theatrical business. He will be a larger field than Washington could afford him. He is identified with the management of the great Cher Club. He will be a larger club, and thus form the biggest musical organization the race has ever seen. His agency and will handle all first-class acts. He manages a monster revue at Manhattan Casino this week. Word comes from New York City that William Harris, Jr. is to put on a suit and go along "straight" lines, and without any attempt at handling race problems. The scenes are laid in the South and in the North, and will be told amid the genial humor characteristic of the colored people. The play is to be presented in cars in the metropolitan area, and the cast is to embrace such standard artists as Edna Aug. Marion Abbott, Mrs. Stuart Robson, Eda May Oliver, Mrs. Stuart Blakemore and Walter Walker. Miss Easie Whitman is being urged by the management of the Broadway Players to make a dash into the legitimate drama, and may yield to the challenge. Mrs. Blakemore for Winn, if she can get the roles suited to her peculiar abilities. She is adapted to strong characters, possessing a sturdy personality, a reasonable well dressed. If she should temporarily leave for Whitman, an experienced business woman, can take hold of the managerial reins with perfect satisfaction. "The Deep Purple" is going big this week at the Howard. Miss Inez Clough is scoring a distinct hit as "Kate Fall" and "Mary Clark" are well ovation. This is her first appearance here as an actress, although well known as "Clark," has the best part yet assigned him and makes good. Miss Abbie Mitchell makes a sweet heroine and role as the hero, as well as acting as the hero. J. Francis Mores, Creighton Thompson, Opal Cooper, H. W. Hilda Offley, Miss Iris Hall have roles admirably fitted to their abilities The Deep Purple" is a play that gives them all ample opportunities to shine. Miss Iris Hall is a new "star" in the dramatic firmament. She is a native experience locally in "holding up the mirror to nature," but this is her first season on the professional stage. She has herself throughout her scenes, the layman could not detect that she is a child of the mind and the mind of "Christian the Great," enacted by her last week in "Deep Purple" is not a large one, but she gets so much out of her experience, her cleverness in handling the bit that is allotted to her that she gives evidence of a capacity to success in stellar ability. She is young, ambitious and willing to learn, and is conscientious to the task. She is her part as well as committing the lines. She has a piquant personality, availancy suggestive of the Parisienne and rushing clearness that is a delight to all. In bringing Miss Hall to the front, she endorses the profession a real service, because her merit and genius when he sees them, a "find" that will make a value to the world of art. She is to be a much more important role in the section of the Broadway Players, in the city Miss Hall was the recipient of a recognition at the hands of the society folk. One can always count on Indianapolis showing up well wherever her sons play. Broadway Players, the Hoosier capital is represented by Sidney Kirkpatrick, conceded to be the finest dramatic in the city. A. Cooke, who ranks with the topliners in eccentric comedy characters, who is in a class by himself in dialect, man "crook" parts. In other lines of work, not less exacting, Indianapolis shows up well. Fiddle, R. Byron Shelton, Haywood Wooten, The McClain sisters, Billy and Wordella McClain, Fred W. Simpson, and Brown Tom Brown, Tom Brown, Edward Thompson (a new star in the theatrical constellation), and others too numerous to mention. The talented aggregation of Hoosiers who are making good in the mimic world. Manager A. J. Thomas is incubating a deposit $2.00 weekly in a local bank and at the expiration of a given time he pays the payment on a chain of theaters for the accommodation of colored patrons in cities where the colored people are found in the city. The class play-house. The scheme is said to be working admirably and Manager Thomas will time when there will be enough theaters of the Howard type to float all the companies placed on the road. It is the dearth of play-houses open to colored shows and companies that venture out in the country. S. H.
