Sollubury was brought here yester- day with the seventeen American Negro troopers, who were captured in the In announcing a story of the battle which he said Spillisbury void him General Jacques de la Rue, the district of the northeast, announced that any time and any place the American troops must move to will complete the letter with his superior's orders and will attack them as General Felix General Trevino said that all diplomatic arrangements are outside of his sphere. Spillisbury's story, as announced by General Trevino, was to effect the seventy-six Negroes, comprising Troop H of the Tenth Cavalry and himself, compose the American detachment that encountered the Mexicans. He said that he saw on the field the twenty-three Negroes and at least eleven of the Negroes. Spillisbury's account as given out follows: "We left Casas Grandees on Sunday morning, arriving outside of Carrival Told Him to Turn Back. Mexican authorities asserted that the routes and had been well treated en route. General Trevino says that he received some days ago an announcement from the commander of General Trivino's warring not to move, east, south or west. Since then four Negroes other than those taken Carizal have been captured, and also, while American. According to the story told General Pershing from the battle field Carizal, trivino was entirely unprovoked and made Mexican force had partly surrounded Americans under cover of Carizal. Americans had opened fire with a machine that the American troopers command and returned the Furious. Apparently the men who made their way to General Pershing's headquarters of the Eleventh cavalry sent general Pershing to reinforce the two groups of the Tenth, and no report from the source had reached General Pershing. General Funston pointed out a discovery in the report coming through Mexico that Money had been killed. The report stated that the American forces had been killed, while General Funston was the senior officer of Captain Murray was the senior officer of Captain and would have been in com Would Substantiate Story General Pershing's report stated that he had warned Captain Boyd before the latter the main column that he was on a recordering expedition only, that he was to use even pre-court against precipitating a clash with Mexican troops. The fact that these instructions had been given is taken by army officers here to subdue the story of the strangers that the attack was unprovoked by the Americans and made without warning. General Pershing said that before the Americans left on the expedition both he and Major Evana, of the Tenth cavalry, cautioned the commanding of ficer to be careful not to provoke a fight Impressed by Report. General Funston appeared impressed with the sincerity of the story brought in by his interview. He would not cause him to send any new instructions to General Pershing or to any of the other troopers he said that while scouting Troops C and K, Ten ternary stopped at Ojo de Santo Domingo Tuesday morning, commanding Troops C as senior captain, was in charge of the expedition. At 4:30 Wednesday morning the column arrived within a mile of the village at 7 a.m. A national guide was sent ahead to ask the Carrazaans to carry the American troops might pass through the town. At first General Funston later sent word the Americans might pass if they would stop for a parley. Before Captain Boyd could start Gen. Funston engaged the American officers in conversation. While they were talking, they came out of the town in large numbers. Boyd saw the danger of being surrounded and ordered his command to At this juncture Gomes turned and galloped to the right of his own line. Opened a door, Captain Boyd then ordered his men to dismount and return the fire. The soldiers who reached General Pershing's headquarters said they retreated during the fighting and became separated from their commands, so that were unable to give any further details. BOYD AND ADAIR WITH TENTH CAVALRY FOR SOME TIME. Captain Charles T. Boyd, who was reported killed in the Carrilral engagement, was regarded as one of the most notorious skiers of the time. He was born in Iowa, October 29, 1870, was appointed a cadet to West Point, Ohio, and was additional second lieutenant to the Seventh Cavalry June 12, 1898, being sent to the Fourth Cavalry January 14, 1897. RINGED WITH A CURTAIN OF FIRE SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June 22—The two troops of the Tenth Cavalry under General John B. McCain were wiped out by the attack of Mexican forces under Gen. Gomez at Carrizal June 21, according to indications of the military report received by Gen. Funston. The battle took place tonight. Pershing's message stated that seven survivors in all, including those who arrived last night, have reached the main column. All were enlisted men, but the report did not say whether they were among them. According to the stories of the victims outlined in Gen. Pershing's report, a mounted force of Mexicans made a charge from the flank at the front of the battle. Boyd and Gen. Gomez, at the same time that a machine gun opened fire from the front as Gen.

Harris, a private in C troop of the Tenth Cavalry, was brought to the hospital, where he wounded in the left shoulder and arm, received in the engagement at Carrizal. He said that there were fully 700 Mexicans against eighty-four of the Army in the attachment. "To top it off," Harris said, "they had a machine gun and they surprised us. We approached them in a peaceful way and never had an idea that they were going to attack us, known they wanted fight, we could have given it to them. I guess they got enough at that." **Rode Straight Through the Line.** Harris' troop was surrounded by the Cayman Islands, wounded from the cordon the Mexicans had drawn around the Americans, by riding straight through their line on the island. They were wounded, by wounded. He rode this horse until it fell from loss of blood, and then caught another fleeing animal, with which he held him. He was wounded, whom he accompanied to field headquarters. Captain Boyd commanding, had pulled up before Carrish. The captain ordered every one to dismount. I took charsa of some anglers while Captain Boyd went forward. Soon thereafter the shooting started, and Captain Boyd went down. There were more than a hundred anglers, they had come up out of the ground, forming a half circle. Our men kept on falling. The first shots came from a machine gun. It was trained right on them. Horse Gave Out. "It was not more than two minutes before the Mexicans had surrounded us, weops fought effectively, but we did not have any help. I was in hit the shoulder and I kept the horses loose and climbing on my back. We went to the nest part of the circle. I went right through the Mexicans. My horse ran down and poured a little water from the hole he understood, for he got that look in his eyes animals have when they are gravel. I walked until I found one of our animals. I mounted him and rode on toward Colonia Dublan. Before I got back, I survived, survivors, and we went on together." WERE HEADED FOR EL PASO. Chihuahua, June 26—Five of the six captives in the harrowing and brought here are armored John Wilson, George M. Chaplin, T. Hopkins, Thomas Garfield and W. D. Glover.

Gibson, speaking for his comrades, said they were captured at Los Humos, where they were held by pursuing cavalry. He said the six of them were "trying to beat it for El Paso." A recent Trevino announced that Gibson told him that the members of the expedition were lined up by Captain Thomas, "they must get through peacefully, or they might get through it, but that in any event there was nothing to do, and that was to obey orders."

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Mexico (by wireless to Columbus, N. M.), June 27—American Negro troopers faced alarms on their lips, and they burst into song once or twice as they fought their grim fight against odds.

More said that he never had seen such valor as was displayed by Capt. Charles T. Boyd in leading a charge through the machine gun fire and into the ambush of death.

Leutenant Adair already had been wounded and had lost his pistol in the previous fighting, but he had borrowed another and after he was wounded, when he was killed. He fell unconscious and was caught by the Negro soldier, who was able to retrieve which was filled deeply with water.

Dear Curley, the Crow, Kindly let us know, Since we are worried so; Are you really, truly Curley the Crow? When it comes to writing letters, score one for the Colonel. Fourth of July this year will be celebrated more "vigorously" than in former years. Old Glory is being agitated, and it's stirring up the "natives." It will be too bad if the killed and wounded greatly outnumber those of past years, and that fearful probability faces us. The demand for the release of the prisoners taken at Carrilaz has been compiled with by the government of Mexico, and owing to which fact the chances of war has considerably lessened. However, the possibility of war did not hinge on the decision of Carranza in the instance. It is thought, however, that the compliance means a disposition on the part of Carranza to take a more reasonable view of the situation. During the commencement exercises at Wilberforce University the degree of LL.D. was conferred on Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, and Principal R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, W. S. Scarborough in speaking of the honor said that the degrees were conferred in Absentia, neither of the individuals being present. Bishop Philips speaks of the honor as a complete surprise to him. Both Principal Moton and Bishop C. H. Phillips have received a great work of uplift. Wilberforce has done a very worthy thing in the bestowal of the coveted distinctions. At any rate the Colonel knows how to put over a letter. In his late epistle to the bewildered hosts of armagedon, at Chicago, he burnt the bridges behind him. Mr. Roosevelt confessed that the people were not ready to accept the new party, holding that the next best thing was to endorse Mr. Hughes, who stood for the utmost Americanism and the other essentials of himself and the Progressive party. The majority of the national committee still followed whereasover the doughty Colonel would lead. A small minority could scarcely be more than irreconcilable because of their source. They sprang from an ultra bourbonism, and which did not permit their feet to stray in the paths of the ancient "enemy"—the Republican party. These will gang with the Democrats. EXIT PROGRESSIVES In these days of the dissolution of the Progressive party one can afford to be charitable. Yet one can scarceily resist observing again that institutions that live are founded on deep-rooted causes. The Republican party had a right to be born, and should endure forever. It was founded on the thing which is the absorbing theme of mankind, and has been since the world began—enlarged liberty of the individual. The Democratic party endures because it stood from the beginning for the rights of men, consequently it is the power of the common body of American citizens—the Democrats. But it had limitations. The Republicans went them one better, including the humble Negro, thus making for a complete political mission, and of which they made a complete job. The Progressive party was both fatal in name and mission. Its name was fatal because it was too promiscuity; it hured on; it staked out, but it was merely hulk. The party had no vital service to render; not a single asset that was new or interesting. Its aliment was Mr. Roosevelt's splendid personality. He is fascinating, hence attractive, and had he had a real slogan all earth could not have withstood him. THE CANAL. The canal offers up a new victim this week, a colored man this time, and as if it were no respecter of persons. And, indeed, it is not; it bears on its bosom all manner of men; neither has it respect for sex or age, reminding one of the old sexon who gathers them in. Come, they great, or come they small. It is mockish in its deceit, appearing the very ideal of innocence as it alides unheedingly; that it is a dead man—filled with dead men's bones. Yet over the bridge they go, chattering and laughing, the throngs, unmindful of the water morgue 'neath their feet. The coroner has had enough of the grusome stream that charms us on, and like a vampire bat sucks away the life blood in the meanwhile. He has recommended that the stream be litterally choked to death—filled up with earth until it is dead, dead, dead. But the recommendation may mean nothing. It is not the first time that it is choked, and the humanlike, staid good for a while, and when the last act was fairly out of memory it sprong new deeds of horror. In entire of the canal's death deal ing character it has not made a great reputation in kind. And yet it were a miniature Seine at Paris, and where human beings dropped like rats years ago unless our Hugo erred. Remember Jean Vallean, in that horrible sewer of slime on its way to the river? Beautiful in its horror was it! And our canal is furnishing the same kind of a material for the novelist in spite of its look of domesticity. However, let us hope that murders by means of the canal will not continue, for the good of song or story. Yet these death dealing areas are the ones seized on to give realism and habitation worthy of romance to the localities of the novelists. There is still slight hopes that a war with Mexico will not be a necessity. The chances, however, are the other way. Carranza has staked his all on a single principle, insisting that the sovereignty of his country compels an evacuation by the United States forces. This in spite of the fact that nothing has been accomplished by way of punishment of Villa and his men. He apparently takes no cognizance of that maraquism, the extent of which he and country responsible for his acts. He probes reasons that as lawless as the Villa men are, he can do no more than he has been doing, and that if the Americans continue in the country it will be as disastrous to him as a war would be with its possible salvation of honor for himself and country. As far as Mexico, represented by Carranza, and the United States are concerned that government, called defacto, is not without some excuse in standing for a government without outside influence. It has committed no offense against the United States, consequently it requires and deserves consideration from that viewpoint. On the other hand, President Wilson is in honor bound to protect the citizens of his country. Murder cannot continue because Carranza finds it impossible to control the situation. Something had to be done; it has been done, however, without satisfactory result, in fact without any result. As it stands, Carranza, no more than President Wilson, wishes to appear in a humiliating attitude before his country. An indefinite occupation is not a very salutary announcement. Our troops were defeated in meting out punishment to Villa, a most chagrining admission, but it should not imperil the peace of the two countries. Carranza is only offensive in standing out for an uninvaded country. President Dilson is only offensive in standing for the cessation of murder on the border. Neither can recede from the high ground without some sacrifice of national respect. Villa is the cause of the seemingly inextricable hornlocking; but he nor those supporting him should have the glory of plunging two great nations into war. If Carranza is in earnest he can name a force of men to work in conjunction with one from the United States, and thus suppress the bandits. We can not think that good Mexican citizens expect the United States to stand for the continual murder of its citizens. NO MEAN CITY. The Neges of this community can congratulate themselves owing to the quiet that followed that very regrettable happening last week when Lieutenant Hagerty of the police force was shot down by Charles Wheeler, a Negro. In his desperate effort to escape arrest after having been caught in the act of theft, Wheeler also struck down Joseph Hollingsworth, a mounted policeman, stunning him long enough to take from him his revolver, and with which shot the lieutenant, and also clubbed a young white man who was assisting in making the arrest. The Negro was finally taken, but not until he was wounded by the officers. The three deeds—the one of murder ane the two assaults—made a very aggravating case for Wheeler. Yet, so far as it is understood, the citizens have been content to let the matter rest with the court. One killed and two wounded is a staggering total for one individual. That some were not all wrought up, urging the thing of mob justice, was a splendid test of the institution in Indianapolis. We are sorry to say that Mr. Bell, mayor of the city, gave out the only expression that savored of prejudice and mob rule. He tried very diligently to have it appear that the happening was an outgrowth of the differences between himself and some of the Republican officials and the newspapers, as it concerns the police department of which he is the head. He insisted that a loose rein had been given the lawless Negro element by way of getting back at him, and this through encouragement the tragedy resulted. Happily enough, the mayor's strange reasoning and conclusions do not many talkers, if any at all. No one has had the peculiar courage to endorse his views. In fact they so unreasonable and so slanderous that they have been left severely by them, been no encouragement of crime among the Negroes. Wheeler was caught stealing automobile tires—a plain case of stealing, and such as confront the courts every day. Police officials expect trouble now and then, and accordingly have armed the poilone. licemen for such an emergency. It can be easily seen why the mayor was a bit exercised over the affair, but others regretted it quite as much. It was ugly, unusual, out of the ordinary, but he was not justified in overstating a situation when trying to fix the responsibility. There is nothing of sympathy for Wheeler by those of his race in this case. They are thoroughly satisfied that he will reap all that the law has in store for such men, and as he so richly deserves, judging by what is known of the case at this time. They are thoroughly satisfied with the splendid community spirit, and which refused to encourage a special means of justice in face of the courts, which were designed and created to meet all conditions of lawlessness. AVENGING REGIMENT JACKSON, Miss., June 27.—Declaring their purpose to avenge the Colored troops slain at Carrizal by Mexican can treacher. Colored men here have begun organizing a regiment of cavalry for service in Mexico. Leaders declared 50,000 colored troops will be offed the government should the call for volunteers be sounded. It is to be hoped that the Colored men who take up arms for their coun try will do so just as other men do—without any special vengeance in view. The war, if it comes, will not be a race war, and it will be conducted from Washington. The glory of men falling in the defense of their country is not transient, and we can do but little to add to it. The country remembers its fallen heroes in a most fitting way. We remember those that even if they do not fall, and in a most fitting way. So we need not be uneasy as to any possible neglect of our race men. The remaining officers of the troops of the Tenth Cavalry speak commending of the heroes of Carrizal. The newspapers give glowing accounts of their behavior in their hour of sacrifice. It is as much as can be done that tends to glorify their conduct.

All of the troops called to activity by the authorities are meant to set things right. Doubless the President and his advi­ vation of the troops think that the Negroes in common with other men are willing and ready to stand by the guns of the nation, but more than likely they will not countenance a propaganda of peculiar vengeance.

THEATRES HERE AND SPORTS THERE AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YORK 'WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN' AT THE NEW THEATER A WEEK AFTER (By Jack Trotter.) (New York City Special) When the big clock in the jeweler's window across the street pointed to the same top central figure of 22 o'clock noon, the audience was in awe of the large vestibule of the Lincoln Theater and that of the sidewalk in front of the theater, for the waiting for the opening of the box office. The presentation of the great picture "Where Are My Children?" was the most sensational. That such crowds should actually storm the doors of this large theater for two days for admission to see the show, and that any theater exhibiting a run of first-class screen productions in Harlem (not to alternate them with the second run of the same varieties) will meet with "big" success. Elite Amusement Players Score in "Allen Murray Kalentine." The Escape. Next Week. Next week the Elite Stock Company will present at the Lafayette "The Escape," with Messrs. Lacey Cherry and Laura Bowman doing important roles. The play is another of those life strivings that have been played by playwright Paul Armstrong, and is written in the same forceful, interesting manner which made this writer of fame. About the Play. The story is that of a girl, who, rear-ed on the Bowery, runs away when her father forces her marriage to a toucher, who has been taught to believe is only for aristocrats and for people of means, and tries stechography, long gone, acquainted with Senator Gray and is installed in sumptuous apartments. She falls ill and a doctor, whom she had been treated with, her brother was cut up in a fight, is summoned. She realizes the shame of it all. It is not too late, and she renounces the senator. Her brother, the widow, and his beatings hasten her death. Her brother kills the man who wrecked his sister's life. To save him from the doctor, doctores coact a story of suicide. In the end the heroine, after a long difficult journey, applies for a position as trained nurse. The doctor recognizes her and the closing curtains show them caressing each other. Mr. Willfam "Babe" Townsend. Mr. Chas. Moore Back in the days of Williams and Walker, Mr. Chas. Moore, actor, operatic was considered a artist and character to have reached the hey-day of his professional perfection. In those days he directly through his sheer worth and personality, his ability being carefully trimmed and subdued to a point constant, he was known and appreciated. But I am still far away from the real point. Mr. Charles Moore after an enfeeblement back to the stage and to us a couple of months ago appearing in one of the leading roles in the play "The Wolf," he back to the stage and in a playhouse in this city and at the Howard Theater in Washington, D. C. The printed accounts of the successes he has dealt within the minds of everyone. Mr. Moore's possession of the faculty to human beings is largely used for the parts for which he is cast, and whenever the name of this actor appears on the program, he plays the play-goers are at least sure of being well pleased with his end of the show. Messrs. Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, mauvidence's greatest singers, has combined with his wife, Meyers and Jones in the forming of an octette, which will work during the remainder of the summer at Bridgewater Inn, Long Branch, . . . Messrs. Chas. Gilpin, late star of the Lafayette Stock Company has with Blondy Robinson and Andrew Tubble, formed a tabloid musical symmetry. The trio will play at the Royal Theater, Asbury Park, N. J., during the summer months. Mr. Tom Brown of Tom Brown and Carla Ashbury is considering an offer to invade stock, made to him by the Elite Amusement Corporation. Miss Carita Day is in Chicago, where she was called through the illness of her mother. SPORTING NEWS OF SHREVE-PORT, LA. (By Chas. J. Harris.) The patrons of Palace Park A. C. were given one of the best runs for their money that they could not be knocked out Rattlesnake Kid in the last minute of their scheduled fifteen round fight here Friday. The team had all the way and things looked like a sure draw, when suddenly in the fifteenth round, after two fouls, Red caught Snake with a left hook and an upper cut to the jaw and following it, again to the jaw, flooring Rattlesnake for the count. The bell rang before the referee finished his count, and Snake was to regain himself. Rattlesnake Kid has asked for another chance and they will be matched in the near future for twenty rounds at GIANTS LOSE TO GREYS. Home Boys Lose a Close Game—Thousands Present Even Though 900 Are at Springfield, III., Order Seats For July 4. Chicago. June 29—While there were some 900 men out of the city last Sunday, down at Camp Dunne with Col. Franklin A. K., the commanding officer, borders, the fans did not miss them on last Sunday when the Giants lost their second Sunday game. The guests of the home boys last Sunday were the players of the most exciting games seen at Schorling's Park this season. "The Forged Note!" Foremost Negro Novelist, Who Also Wrote "THE CONQUEST" Mr. Johnson was put in the box and did fine up to the fifth innning. As a lady in the box said, "Oh, he's a peach." In the innings the Grey came in the true metal. The Giants brought in two scores in the second and one in the third. The boys thought they were better than the Grey, the Giants tied bases in the eighth with one out, failed to score, while Barber twice landed on a second with the Grey gone and died in the sixth. The Grey comes in the sixth and pled up three runs on the same number of hits and two on a pass ball, two field choices, and a single by King. Quite a deal of change was lost. It is said that Walter Speedy was ready to meet all comers.

Cubans Coming. The Cuban Stars will be here next season. These series will be among the best games that will be seen at Schorling's home field. The banner day in this city for baseball. Instead of going to parks, people spend the day with Mr. Foster and his fast team. Popularity Contest. There is some talk of starting a popularity contest among the players of the American Giants. Its really hard to tell who is the most popular man on the field, but the most part, are gentlemen, and well liked by fans here and elsewhere. Capt. Hell Better. Capt. Pete Hill, who has not been feeling well for the past three weeks, was put in as a pinch hit on last week, and seems to improve the captain certain. ALL AROUND FIRST Mr. Grant, and it is said that he was named, first, Genera Grant, is all kind of a great player, a game that is seldom seen, even in the parks. He parks. He is a mighty popular player. Lloyd The Demon. Lloyd is called a demon at short, Lloyd is fond of the popular can fans that a shortstop, he added and the rest must take their hats off. Mr. Lloyd, who is popular contest soon, we vouchsafe as that Mr. Lloyd, who is popular with the popular contest, would lead in the popularity contest. Judy Gans a Pitcher. "Judy" Gans is developing into a fine pitcher. He has won several games in the national and local league Duncan, who is usually a safe hitter. With Barer, another safe hitter, Petway, the world's greatest catcher, has been named head coach. Mr. Foster has a team that will do justice to any city in America. Remember that if you want a good seat on Sunday and July 4, you must order your seats now. MONTGOMERY (ALA), GRAYS TAKE WHITE SOX SCALP—THIS MAKES THE FIRST GAME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ENEAT THIS SEASON—THE LEXINGTON HUSTLERS, THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS OF THE BLUE GRASS WILL PLAY THIS SUNDAY AT SPRING BANK PARK. (By Hardin Tolbert.) Special to the Freeman. LOUISVILLE, Ky.-For the first time of this season the White Sox met their hands of the Montgomery (Ala.) Grays, by a score of 8 to 4. Hogan pitched to the White Sox and indicated he was compelled to get an assistant, and Moore came to his rescue and pitched five straight innings for the White Sox, men and allowed but four to hit him. The hitting of J. and Cunningham for the White Sox and Grays hitting of L. Moore for the Sox were the features. Cotton was so twirler and fast that he was done without danger. The Lexington A. E.

The Daily Standard, London, says: "After the booth and baths, the howling sentimentality, the sickening gush, the night dress sturdities so often offered by Americans through the magazines and book publishers as fiction, it is a relief, a joy and a strengthening to read the fine, fine novel Mr. Michaeu has produced. It touches the primal passions, the ultimate, intimate realities with strength, sincerity and conviction.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell Song Reckelt at quinb Chapel—Paulinia He Teacher, Madam E. Azaila He Teacher, Madam E. Azaila Jackson's Music School at Odd Fellows Hall. There was a goodly number present at Prof. W. L. Jackson's annual commencement at Old Pallow's Hall last Wednesday, June 21, to witness the exercises of his pupils, who ranged from tiny children to adults, all who perform on various instruments of all kinds, taught by Prof. Jackson and his wife, who instructs on the piano and acts as accompanist. It is useless to state that the Jackson's are thorough teachers, as the students are thorough teachers years time proves their competence. It was when Mrs. Marie Clay Huddlin, a lady who was introduced and made a few friends, was a few Jackson's, that people could fully realize what she was teaching. The pupils were laden with candy and flowers as the program proceeded. The pupil in particular worthy of mention is Harry L. Long, a young pro- fessional actor who went on the stage before he was of age and won his way. He is bribe-breaking and a magician. Harry is a good actor dancer, soon became known in the team of Thornton and Long in vaudeville, and he was a musician. Washburn Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company. When he joined Terry U. T. Company his natural fondness for music was apparent. He practiced in an alto or baritone horn in the company but made no progress. When he returned to Chicago I recommenced his course in Jackson's School of Music, which he decided to do seven months ago. His appearance in the commencement of the season was not good. "Blue Bells of Scotland," was a big surprise to his friends. Mr. Long, who played a straight part in Bill King's season, will not return to the stage until he has finished a complete course of tuition. Program of the Movies.

Their tour is to include Australia, China, Japan and Philippines. **A Soldiers' Dream.** I'm in the trench at borne island, I am near the enemy, I have planned, to kill the enemy at sight—For patriots were born to fight. I'm in the gloom of grave warfare, and fast asleep, in silent prayer, Ere shot and shell may startle me I'll fight for native liberty. To live or die and win I crave, For life is but a spark of gleam—And death is but a soldier's dream. —Sylvester Russell. LYRIC STOCK, KANSAS CITY, MO In the big tent and are going big.

WELLS & WELLS Aerialists Supreme, with Alexander Tolliver's Big Show. Albert Wells, past master of trapeze, has been appointed general superintendent, master, assistant of Alexander Wilver Big. This is Mr. Wilver's second season on Tolliver big show last February in New Orleans. Al Wells was his right hand man, helping him in every way he could, to put on a show that ever traveled under canvas. It was through his faithfulness and to appoint him to his present position. He has also proved himself a credit to the profession as a producer of novelty shows. He was also appointed to the Temple Theater in New Orleans for five weeks last winter with the assistance of Gains Bros, and Henry Wooden he produced fourteen novelty acts, each one THE FOOTBALL TEAM WELLS AND WELLS a hit. He is now featuring his wife on the big show in a sensational high school musical, the Gains Bros. in a double trapeze act, closing the act with one of the most remarkable feats ever. accompany that performance, and his feat is performed by only one white act on the American stage. One act that was performed in spring, Mr. Wells is also a Shriner. He was made a master of playing in Portmouth, Va., last September ber by J. W. Barnes, grand master of the state of Virginia and while the big show was killed by an injury on May 15, he was initiated into the Royal Arch Knight Templar and Mystic degree deputy grand master of Georgia, advancing to a noble of the Mystic business, the Collins says the show business my business, and improvement is my motto. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TER. PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gray) JACKSON WILLE HIGHTOWER Great "Senior" comma with Alexa-dor comma. "When Wife Is Away." The comedy bears evidence of painstaking labor by Miss Bush, as well as real for the die-hard husband. The production is accorded much praise by all who are fortunate enough to see it. A pretty fair company is assembled, and the actors play considerable ability. The rehearsals have been conducted with vigor and the result is a pretty smooth and well-structured effort in hitches in the action and no long waits between acts. Miss Bush takes the part of Pinkie Blossom, and is warmly commenting on her efforts to obtain acquaints from her many admirers. Ollie Burgery again demonstrates her possession of morals, and is as silent as the client in her law-ward with a slight aguge that is at the same time witty and is admirable in her interpretation. Hobo Jim, the swagman, does anything that is immanent in his equilibrium on ladders, poles. etc, without any supports, does thrilling cycle stunts and includes going up a flight of stairs on a wagon wheel, a jumping over a wall, and jumps the wheel off on the floor, still retaining his position on the wheel. A theater show of "Under Azure Skies," which is thrown on the screen. The show closes with a scream, and the audience, in median, as the judge, who, with lots of extemporaneous fun, keeps the comedy full. The merrymaking, the songs are cheery and include some of the latest contributions of the popular song writers. The several songs are clearly in full share in the merrymaking. Sweetie May is heard to advantage and the audience is likely to be a favorite, as she also receives bouquets and is showered with coins by the audience. The playing of the songs is not too taxing things, is as good as that heard in any opera house in the city, and should be an inducement powerful enough to crowd Gibson's new Standard album. They specialize in the Flowx of Italy, concert valse by Stefano. NOTES FROM J. A. HARRIS' BAND AND MINDING HOLL GOLL- MAR BROS.
