The body was were given a national character from the fact that they were entirely under the supervision of the war department and personally directed by the Hon. Newton D. Baker, secretary of war. By the departmental orders the escort, a troop of the Second Cavalry in a series of Batteries, and the troop of the Federal City Brigade, and the Engineer Band took part in the solemn function of the day. The bodies, hermetically sealed in steel caskets, arrived at the union station the night before. Surrounded by a crowd that numbered thousands and a representa-tion of the警卫, the body was re-paved, the detail of the Second Cavalry bore upon their shoulders the bodies of the dead troopers and gently laid them upon the caissons of the battery. Each coffin was draped with the American Flag. Pfor, John R. Hawkins, financial secretary, and General, was placed a wreath on each on behalf of the colored citizens' committee, of which Dr. A. M.

Word comes from reliable sources that through the thoughtful kindness of the late Dr. Washington, a New York city, former collector of internal revenue and now supervising agricultural department, a New York state agricultural institute has agreed to donate $10,000 to Booker T. Washington memorial fund, a year. The gift is a timely one and is far toward helping the committee to ensure the perpetuation of the work done by Dr. Washington for the upkeep of the Negro masses in the Southland. campaign for Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Still On. Memorial Fund Still On. Although the regular meetings have ceased to begin September, the committee is charge of the Booker T. Washington memorial fund in the District of Columbia, announces that the work of collecting pledges and making new collections will go on through the summer with unpaid volunteers sending out letters this week using in the members of the committee itself their pledges by prompt payment, and many of the members being reached by polite presentation in a case through note or personal solicitation. Early in the fall an opportunity will be given for every church individual to donate something to the cause of Tuskegee institute, a nation-wide influence for the benefit of the Negro masses. A comprehensive plan of campaign has been formulated by Chairman Henry Lasseter to will it happen. The energy at the beginning of the autumnal season. Due announcement will be made through the press. Armond W. Scott Has Support of Dr. Atkinson. The National Instituted Ruler of the Eyes. Dr. W. E. Atkins, of Hampton, former grand exalted ruler of the Elks of the World, and an acknowledged power in the ranks of the antlered herd, has signified his intention of supporting for grand exalted ruler this year at the Philadelphia convent, and to make the Armidale and the leader, Attorney Armond W. Scott of Washington, D. C. He has not only given Mr. Scott the personal assurance of his warm support, but has written to a number of Elks of influence throughout the country, stating that it is the right and proper thing to honor the faithful Scott with the elevation to the order's highest office. He has, as a result of this, being that they cast their votes for him. This practically closes the campaign and assures the election of Mr. Scott "hands down." A few complimentary votes will be cast for the "favorite sons" of certain localities, for strategic reasons and for future reference, but they expected that after these, the election would be a successful run of the convention will settle down to "brass tacks" and elect Mr. Scott by acclamation. This is a "Scott year," and the Philadelphia meeting will simply ratify the choice already made by the order in the nation at large. Mr. Scott will go to Philadelphia at the head of the big District of Columbia's Division. Mr. Scott will be a member of his honor have already been planned by the Philadelphia, under the auspices of the O. V. Catto Lodge of Elks and others. General Investigation of the Schools Immulent. The election of Rev. John Van Schaik as president of the board of reform forces in the reorganized school governors, and is another signal defeat for the "machine" that has been the organization's education affairs of the District for the first time. The detriment of pupil, patron and public at large. The supreme court justices, and it is expected that some patriotic people have gone together one grand movement for better conditions, and it is expected that some patriotic people have gone together the school management will be made as soon as a definite course of action can be agreed upon. In the meantime a thorough investigation of the inner walls of the school will be made and no stone will be left unturned to break up the practices that have upheld the school management of the schools in the past few years. A new assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools is imperative, and these reasons have been set forth so plainly that a repetition of them is not necessary. This is the reasonfated Bruce administration, in the face of the adverse sentiment of 90 per cent of the influential people of the district. A brand-new set of directors is sorely needed. There is no disposition to remove the board or her, but the safety of the system does suggest that every marplot be transferred to a place where they can do no harm. The members of the board are Dr. VanSchaik, Mrs. Gerry and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, and they have the confidence of the public, and with certainty constitute a working majority for reform. The expectant public will be grievously disappointed if they do not practise a working relief at the earliest practicable date. "The Bruce machine must go to the scrap yard throughout the school circles of the District of Columbia. *** *** Judge Terrell May Get a "Raise" If the pending District of Columbia appropriation bill becomes a law, the salaries of Judge Terrell H. H. Terrell the municipal court will be raised from $2,500 to $3,600, along with his salary. This will make the salaries of the municipal court judges the same as that enjoyed for years by the judges of the district court. By the superior qualifications demanded of the municipal justices. To be eligible to appointment, an aspirant must have been before the United States supreme court. The berth held by Judge Terrell with so much distinction will become a more attractive plum than the if the pending bill becomes a law. How About a Military School at Howard The spirit of preparedness is taking a firm hold upon all classes in Conferences and meetings, and these are heard these days by senators, resentatives, members of national service and defense leagues and private organizations for the youth of the land, white and colored allike. In keeping with this plan of individual preparedness, a strong sentiment is to be owed to the commitment of those looking to the establishment of a military training department at Howard University with a special appropriation for its equipment. The detail of a regular army officer as instructor. The idea is growing in popularity, and may take definite form in the future.

Tyler for Ohio Auditor of State—"If Is to Laugh" A visitor from the Buckeye commonwealth brings the startling news he eager to do the unusual, has thrown his hat in the ring for the office of the Ohio state commission of the Ohio state primaries to be held in the near future. This is positively funny, especially to those who say they are asked to sayyed for a brief period the exacting role of "race leader" in and about the state commission. He is around in the office of auditor of the navy department. He is also remembered as the rankest failure that ever happened in the "scattering" column of the National Negro Business League and landed in the "scattering" column of the National Negro Business League test for delegate at large from Ohio to the Chicago convention last spring. "First page" notoriously, and this last stunt ought to give him his fill of it. THE TOWN IN REVIEW The much needed repairs to Metropolitan A. M. E. church and the erection of the long delayed Masonic Temple will come to pass—some of these days. One of the blessed things that grows out of the reorganization of the new board of education—the persecution of that splendid educator, Dr. Lucy E. Foster, who was born in New York and came to an end. Secure in the place she has made in the Washington DC area, she has been hampered from now on in the development of the great Myrtilla Miner Normal School—her own creation for the training of teachers. W. Sidney Pittman, the race's premier architect, now located at Dallas, Tex., and prospering finely, is the revered architect of the city over the country because of his latest architectural triumph, the new and magnificent Pythian temple, the most beautiful Knights of Pythias of the state of Texas, and recently dedicated with imposing ceramics, the handsomest and most commodious of its kind built and owned by colored people west of the Mississippi river. Prof. C. A. C. Amey, of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, was a recent visitor to the nation's capital on business. Prof. M. Herman E. Perry, president of the Metropolitan Masonic Temple with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., has been spending a fortnight here, supervising the establishment of offices in the city. P. J. Percy Bond remains as the resident manager, and is in charge of the cozy department quarters at 1105 U street of Englewood, where he has made of engaging qualities and has made an excellent impression upon our people. Dr. A. M.

The fourteen black soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, "discharged without honor" following the investigation of the Brownsville riot, have been awarded the highest award of Congress, received in back pay and allowances the goodly sum of $25,000.

Allen's National News Bureau, 2305 Seventh Avenue. be to make a house to house canvass and study the conditions under which NEW YORK, July 24—Prominent Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists from six of the largest Eastern cities, will begin a day and formed an association to be known as The North Eastern Medical Association, which will have for its members the experience of the Negro, with a view of educating the members of the race on those vital matters pertaining to their health and well-being. Together together some of the strongest men in the profession to this city, who endorsed the movement to bring the Negro to the fore, into strong helpful organization that will enable them to keep close tab on the work of the men of the profession, and help to the race in matters of health. About fifty men were present, and the states represented were: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. The first two sessions were held in public school 89, one of the largest public schools of this city, located in the Harlem district, where five upward of 50,000 of our people. The last session was held in the Rush Memorial Zion church. All of the sessions were open to the public. The morning session was called to order by Dr. Albert Reed, one of the most prominent physicians of the race, and the sum of the race, stated that the strong movement among the physicians of this section. Dr. Reed said that the organization of the physicians, dentists and pharmacists of this section would show the unity in the profession, and that it would have its corres-sion with the race in bringing about greater respect. Dr. Reed said that the organization would enable each other to know just what was being done to study the health status of the Negro and how to combat the assertion made at times reflecting on the health of the Negro in its relation to many of the contagious diseases. Following a motion made by Dr. E. T. St. Johns of this city urging a permanent organization, the body went into the business of forming an association. A lively feature of the morning sessions was the balloting for the officers of the association. The following offices were elected to guide the destinies of the association: President, Dr. George E. Cannon, of New Jersey; vice-president, Dr. John Q. McDougard, of Philadelphia; secretary, Dr. B. T. Withers, of New York, and the chairman of the Association.

The patient grew in the development of the disease and its cure by presenting a woman patient who has been under his treat. The patient brought forth a heated discussion and Dr. Nurse who is among the youngest practicing medicine city was praised in manner he handled this subject. A paper on Dentistry as it pertains to the Negro in neurology was read by Dr. R. Wellesphin, of Philadelphia, a specialist of that disease. A paper that provoked the most interest of the physician to action was the paper read by Dr. Charles Lewis, of Philadelphia, a bright and young physician to the Negroes, Its Prevention and Cure." Dr. Lewis said that the spread of this disease among Negroes was not due to the presence of members that members of the race were compelled in most cases in live in neighborhood, but ventilated. Dr. Lewis said a close study of the health statistics as far back as 1860 showed but few cases of illness among the Negro being in the open. He told how Negroes in Africa are rarely found with tiid disease and that they are uniquely susceptible to this evil. Dr Lewis urged the physicians of the race to give this subject close attention and to prevent it from preventing its spread. He advocated the establishment of a tuberculosis ward in the hospital for Negro patients, who would have opportunity to make close inquiry as to how in many cases this disease is found among Negroes. This was the crowded Negro districts of Philadelphia toward educating the neighbors on the vital necessity of cleanliness, much good has been accomplished in this direction and that it would be a good thing for each physician in his community on the dange of this evil. Dr. T. S. Burwell, of Philadelphia, in opening the discussion, urged the appointment of a social worker to live large numbers of our people. He said his duty would [be to make a house to house canvass and study the conditions under which a house canvass and make reports to physicians. Dr. M. O. Collins, of Trenton, said that physical an educational campaign to reach these neglected sections and carry to them the gospel of living.

CENTENNIAL AIR IN STATE FAIR OFFER $64,135 IN PREMIUMS Big Centennial Spectacle Takes Place of Night Horse Show Week of Sept. 4. The Indiana state fair for the week of Sept. 4 is to have a distinctive centennial flavor. One of the outstanding features is to be the historical spectacle which will be given on an immense scale of splendor each evening and which will vividly portray the picturesque phases of Indiana history. The manufacturers who will make displays have been asked by the fair management to give a centennial flavor to their exhibits by showing the evolution that has been made in farm machinery. But where the state fair does not delve into history, it will show the heights which the agricultural and live stock resources of Indiana have reached at the close of the first 100 years. Following the historic spectacle, a lavish display of fireworks commemorative of the centennial year will be given. The spectacle and fireworks will be the great demonstration of the year. Although the fair will have the greatest array of attractions in its history, the coming exposition will continue to emphasize educational features of especial value to farm people, for it is upon the expansion of farm knowledge that the fair has been built its enduring foundations. There will be no night horse show at the coming fair, it having given way for the centennial spectacle. But the day horse shows will hold increased interest and importance for visitors. The fair offers a total of $35,124 in prizes on horses; $27,000 of it for trotting and pacing purses; $4,075 for draft horses; $2,400 for light harness contests, and $809 for ponies. Thirty-two medals and two silver cups will also be awarded. As the cattle resources of Indiana increase from year to year, these shows at the Hoosier fair grow in magnitude and splendor. The total cattle premiums amount to $11,289, of which $5,965 is on beef breeds and the remainder on dairy cattle. The premiums in other departments are: Sheep, $3,479; swine, $4,397; poultry, $2,186; agriculture, $2,011; horticulture, $337; flowers and plants, $1,112; bees and honey, $204; table luxuries, $441; fine arts, $2,188; dairy products, $347; boys' judging contest, $250; corn growing contest, $250; boys' and girls' club exhibits, $100. The total premiums for the fair amount to $64,135. Nation's Metropolis Nation's Metropolis President R. R. Wright, of the Georgia State College, Starts Movement to Raise $110,000—John Larkin Again to Star—F. B. Ransome Here. ALLEN'S NATIONAL NEWS BUREAU 2305, SEVENTH AVENUE. New York City, July 16, 1916.—President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State University is raising a movement to raise $100,000 to build an institution in the state to care for the dependent children who have been separated from their movement is taking on definite shape and gives promise of being one of the first institutions that has ever been launched by men in the race. President Wright who was in this city last week in the interest of the children of the correspondent at length relative to the movement and expressed himself as being pleased with the response that he had received on this campaign. He said it was while traveling thru the state of Georgia to face with the need of such an institution and the necessity of making some provision for the large number of women in the state who, if not provided for, must grow up as wards of the state. President Wright would be to provide the proper kind of education that would make the inmates useful men and women. President Wright told the writer that already a wealthy man of this city and headed the subscription$ with $1,000. President Wright will spend the most of his vacation to this campaign and opens the account with the amount he has appointed Mr. Wright is one of the strongest personalities of the race and has been preeminent in promoting those priests who will lay their objects of the race. For several years he has promoted his work in the annual state fairs in Georgia which bring together each year the most progressive element of the country. It was through his activity and influence that Congress was moved to pass a resolution making the race the national event and the abolition of the semi-centennial of the Negro. President Wright is one of the leaders in the race and has made a place in the national life of the country that is secure. He was appointed secretary in 1898 by President McKinley and has figured notably in political life of the country. He has been appointed delegate to the Republican conventions and was instrumental in having inserted a platform that is in support of the rights of the Negro. He declined the appointment of U.C. minister to the government and several years ago was nominated as secretary of state for the State of Georgia, a signal honor to President Wright as an educator is seen in the success that he has met with in the building up of the Georgia school system, he had been for twenty-five years. When he went to the school there were only twenty-five students. The school has now grown to be one of the largest institutions for the education of the Negro in the South, and one of the largest in the country of five hundred and a faculty of twenty-three teachers, representing many of the leading institutions of the profession and one of the largest schools out over 6,000 graduates, many of them filling honorable places in the professional and academic world, and also a founder of the Ware high school, one of the strongest secondary schools of the state. He was also the class of 1876, which was the first college class to leave the university. He was formerly a newspaper man, and in this direction he has wielded a wide in- While in this section President Wright attended a meeting of the board of trustees of Atlanta University and also the National Educational Association, of which he is a member. "Jolly" John Larkins With Mid-Night Maidens. "Jolly" John Larkins, the famous comedian who perhaps is second to Best Williams as a burnt face comedian, will star again next season with the comedian who has such splendid work last year. Mr. Larkins told your correspondent that this year contract he has signed with the Mid-Night Maidens company, and that he will begin rehearsing August 24 for the season company which is to open next week. Mr. Larkins is well known as a figure in the theatrical life of America, as starred in many big productions success in the country. He began his career with Dr. Lee's company and later traveled to Africa, and Nickerson Repetite Company, the Octoroon and Quadroon companies: A Trip to Africa, and A Trip to Africa to the African coast with the Black Patti Company, and it was with this show that he perhaps made his reputation as a company of unusual vaudeville work on the big time route. It was while in this capacity that he attracted the attention of the vaudeville work on the big time route. Mid-Night Maiden Company, who signed a five-year lease with the him to star with the company, appeared in the company last year, attracted wide attention, and his ability as a comedian was splendidly brought out. The prowess of the comedian comes as the result of hard work in his line, and has opened up a finer economic possibility for the actor of race and race comedy, who works his profession. The appearance of "Jolly" John Larkins with the Mid-Night Maidens cannot but help furnish inspirations to his fellow-workers. The well-known comedian gave out his information about where he was seen by your correspondent. He told your comedian that he colored performers entering the field of drama, and the work that was being done in this line was very commendable. Indianapolis Lawyer Here. F. B.

Mr. Ransom is kept constantly on the go looking out for the information today as the leading figure in the commercial life of the race. Your correspondent met the young lawyer last week and was sitting in this city, and that he felt fine opportunity was offered the race to make enduring progress in this center. Mr. Ransom is one of the most successful in the race, and has figured notably in many legal battles. He is active in all movements in Indianapolis, being the president of the Good Citizen's Club and the National Association for the Advancement of Women. Mr. Ransom represents the Bethel A, M. E. Church and State Grand Lecturer for the Knights of Pythias for Indiana. Mr. Ransom represents the highest credit upon the race. He was born in Mississippi and was educated in Walden University, where he attended for several days, and while here will combine business with pleasure. Woman Educator Here. Miss Bessie Garrison, principal and founder of The Normal and Industrial school in the city, taught school in the interest of the institution. Miss Garrison began her work in October, 1914, with seven pupils, and the first student to be one of the strongest in the state. The school, which is named in honor of good work in the section where it is good work in the section where it is Miss Clark is a graduate of Clark University, and for several years she is the House and Foreign Missionary Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Corinth can now boast of having a new theater, the Lincoln, which is a large theater of Wick and Franklin streets. The theater is owned and managed by W. F. Street, who is an old showman of Pekin theater of Memphis, Teen. Mr. Street tenders his regards to his wife, Miss Ora Cristwell, for the theatrical profession. Special regards to Miss Ora Cristwell, Blank Sisters and Miss M. Crousbey.

Hoyle, principal of Corinth graded school No. 2, has been attending summer normal. Professor Hoyle did some creditable work in making every effort to prepare himself to do better work during the next term. We wish Corinth could boast of having young men with ambition like Hoyle. Dr. A. A. Gipson, a prominent young physician of Corinth, is ready to apply his office with the latest modern equipment, and the office promises to be the best place to work when completed. Dr. Gipson has the best wishes of all the people of the city. We hope he will be the best teacher in his practice. W. D. Webb, who is employed in the government service here, was seen duty lase Friday. What's up, old boy? A SHORT HISTORY OF THE EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER. Is from Calcutta, the capital of India, and it is said to grow like bananas, the skin is soft and green, and put in jars ready for the market, to be used for the hair only. The East India women when standing in the sun are ground, they use their hair for towels to bathe their children's faces. They also tie their hair around their waist for belts. The Indian race is of a very dark brown. Note—"She wiped my feet with the If a woman has long hair it is a glory to her. For price see ad elsewhere. STATE FAIR SHOW OF '17 MOTOR CARS FIRST VIEW OF NEW MODELS Visitors to Indiana Fair Will See the New Cars Months Before They Are Shown Elsewhere. The greatest autumn automobile show in the United States is that staged by the Indianapolis Automobile Trade association and it will be held again in connection with the Indiana state fair the week of Sept. 4. It will be on the same mammoth scale which has characterized it for the last two years and it will display the motor cars for 1917 months before they are exhibited in the winter shows. The big motor show at the Indiana fair has established itself as the greatest autumn exposition of its kind in the country. Practically every prominent make and model is represented, including touring, roadsters and closed cars, and with them are to be seen the great array of tires and other accessories. Never in the history of the motor car industry have these vehicles reached such perfection as those that are being made for next year. Four, six and twin-six motors, electric starting and lighting, clover leaf and other seating plans, and luxuriant appointments and graceful designs that were unknown two or three years ago make the cars for 1917 a revelation. The motor show gives especial advantages for seeing and comparing the different makes in one great display. Because of its size, there is no building available on the Indiana fair ground large enough to house the motor show, and the coming display will be seen in an enormous tent. Since no additional admission is charged, practically all of the 200,000 visitors to the state fair will see the auto show. PUEBLO. COLO.

Ma Caeer Poter, of Kansas, one of our greatest vocalists, gave a high-energy Eighth Baptist Church to a crowded house, of both white and colored, greatly pleased. The vast audience applauded the madame continually. Rev. L. A. McIntyre offered his resignation. The last church some time ago, which was deferred to the last business meeting, church voted to not accept the resignation of the pastor. The first and only vote was unanimous, and the vote against was unsuccessful, nor a work spoken against the pastor. The church also voted Rev. McIntyre an additional sum to his salary, and decided to take. In company with his wife and baby, he will visit with rela- tions to his family, city or state is better loved by the people, nor has a greater reputation as a preacher in morals and efficiency than he has. The reason for offering his resignation only that he wanted to go home (to Kentucky) is Eighth St. Baptist Church is more than proud of its pastor, and is loyal to the great cause and purpose for which she stands. Our pastor has been a great friend and pastor has done, by way of the uplift, for years. Its financial standing is better than every before and the work demands that he must do. So he uss pray that he will ever remain in the west, for great is the need of him. Two little girls are the guests of Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Henry. They are from Louisville, Ky.

Special to The Freeman Special to The Freemak of the Odd Fellows of Kentucky met last week at Maysville with a large delegation of representative men and women present from all parts of the country. The delegation carried out to the delight of all, both local and visiting members, and it was clear that white people of Maysville were more likely to attend than women. Their department was all any one could ask for. They were quiet, mannerly and businesslike in all their public or private matters. their public or private matters. The evening of the first day. Tues- day, the opera house was filled with eager listeners to the very interesting oratory and music rendered by the looms that stretched over almost three hours. All the numbers were splendid. Among the students were W. H. Rice of Mason county, Proof S. Hathaway, ex-president of the State Normal Institute; Rev. E. W. S. Hammond, of Shelbyville; Mr. T. L. Brooks, Saffell of Shelbyville; Mr. T. L. Brooks, contractor; Col. Joseph Bowles, the maker and head of the military feat-equipment of the lodges in Kentucky. The ladies who spoke covered themselves with much glory. Among them were Brooks and Miss Florence Gordon. Master E. W. S. Hammond, Jr., and Ezell Gordon, of Bowling Green, were the young Demosthenes of the oc- The music was excellent and pleased every one present, most numbers being performed. The band showed a balance in tone and expression that would be difficult to surpass. The band was a rural musical artist. The duet by Mr. Hammond and daughter was superb as was also the choral club. No one else had the opportunity to could fail to enjoy the piano work of Prof. J. M. Taylor, of Maysville, a graduate from the musical department of the university. The program came nearer sweeping the great audience from its feet than did Prof. Taylor of Bowling Green, who was the principal in the place of one of the numbers. Wednesday night a big dansant at the skating rink. Thursday night the banquet, at which was seen at the elite-tenooky This was also a rink. The biggest thing on the program was pulled off Friday afternoon. It was the competitive drill at the ball center, a game was unseasoned the fine display of military tactics and movements that have not been excelled. The first prize of $75 went to Louisville Patriarchs; second of $20 to Bowlville, the third of the world's most experienced local judges, who were three experienced local uniform white men, stated that they had witnessed nothing to companies, and heartily congratulated all the others. Perhaps the most interesting part of it all was the drills of the Boy Scouts. No greater skill and ease was ever disillusioned. In the morning, every difficult figures than was shown by each of the companies. Their young drillmasters were truly masters of the second of the world, who would be more than their commanders for their respective companies for the continuous applause by Bowling the boys were the idols of the day. The World State Inspector of the Household of Ruth, a neat and very encouraging little speech to the captains, presented them a purse as expression of their appreciation for the excellent how made.

Nuff sed, THE ADVISABILITY OF A NEGRO CONFERENCE. Washington, D. C., June 28, 1916. Mr. Editor: We must to say just a few words to our race leaders of America. I have been prayerfully considering the situation which confronts us as a race this country, this city, this state, but out of the Tenth cavalry was flashed over this country a few days ago, it showed that we had been deprived of willing to end the first blood when the dignity of the United States must be upheld. It must be admitted that the United States has been dealing with the Mexican question, to allow a company of the best soldiers of the land to be shot down under such conditions. I believe now is the time for the conservative men to meet together in a conference, behind closed doors for the first day at least, and there agree and agree on the issues. Congress and the white citizens of this country that might arouse their consciousness that they are not United States Constitution the instrument of protection that it declares itself to be the right of black men as well as white men. It is pathetic and at the same time a travesty op American justice, killing sacrifice to re- wrongs done white Americans in Mexico, when the country demands retribution and wreaks vengeance on Mexicans and silently endorses the lynching of black men under its own flag nearly 100 years ago. President and Congress that that as silent shinx on outrages committed on black men right in this country speak in thunder tones and send a nation of men in Mexico to rise up and demand the proper protection of black Americans in Mexico. But we who are not at the front must not slumber in our house, but rise up and demand the proper protection of black Americans as well as protection of white Americans in Mexico. He hereby appeal to every race loving man in Mexico to let me know you think of such a conference being held in the city of Washington or some other city in Mexico and have a joint meeting of the Baltimore and Washington Ministers Conference, June 26, 1916—endorse such a conference of the 16th Amendment and have that Dr. Williams Alain of Baltimore, Mr., and the writer should call such a meeting. I will be glad to hear from you about this plan. This conference will not be for newspaper notoriety or personal gain, but to plan for concerted action in the American people to a sense of justice in the treatment of black citizens. hours for the rights of the Negro tire. 430 Que Sue L.

PURDUE'S DISPLAYS IN THREE BUILDINGS Purdue university will at the coming state fair outdo any of its former educational efforts at the exposition, where for many years it has been a force among farm men and women in helping them make "short cuts" to greater results in their home work. Heretofore the twenty-five or more farm experts and the big exhibits from Purdue university have been in one building at the fair. At the coming fair this same building will again be occupied, and in addition the big Studebaker and Oliver pavilions, two of the largest on the ground, will be necessary to house the educational work from Purdue. The main Purdue building will be given over entirely to the university's poultry exhibit. The Studebaker pavilion will be occupied by the exhibits of the county farm agents in which they will show the many lines of educational work they are doing in the rural districts. One of the greatest educational features of the fair will be shown by the Purdue experts in the Oliver pavilion. It will include the immense Indiana agricultural exhibit which was displayed at the Panama-Pacific exposition last year, where it won world-wide attention. It will include the greatest collection of corn ever assembled, which won gold medals over all of the world's best corn shown at San Francisco. Indiana's importance as a poutry and fruit state, and other lines of interest to the farmer will be included. In the Oliver pavilion, too, will be the Purdue home economics exhibit, and the displays will be much larger than has been seen at former fairs. Home furnishings, foods, cooking, home conveniences, labor saving devices and child welfare will be featured in this department. The Purdue experts will also have charge of the annual boys' judging contest in which free scholarships will be held at the fair on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Mr. Beveridge was one of the last of the recalcitrants to take to cover. However, he was none the worst for the delay with his departure, than without doubt sincere, as Mr. Beveridge is a wheel horse in the business for which he is most needed—to help boost the Republicans again to power. The race question is not an abstract something to be fought up in the midair. It is as much in our keeping to bring a satisfactory solution as it is within the keeping of the white people. Let us put them on trial. We can do this by subscribing to every known thing of right and propriety, by an industry as of one man by a worth that declares itself every moment of the day. Failing in all of these to wring a higher appreciation, then we may feel that nothing of precept and example has value and that a portion of the family is everlastingly discredited. The National Negro Business League has proven a very helpful institution to the Negroes. It has proven far too helpful to be side-tracked at this time when there is yet such need for its existence. Hundreds of race men all over the country caught their inspiration at these meetings when successful men of business gave accounts of their struggles and triumphs. Dr. Washington, the great first cause of the league, has passed, but the good he did lives after him. The league is yet a necessity and will ever be as long as the race stands a nation within a nation. And if it prefers to strike down the circumscribing walls it will be helped through the efforts of the race in business. George L. Knox, publisher of The Freeman, lived in Greenfield, Ind, the home of James Whitcomb Riley, when the poet was no more than a lad. In fact he was just beginning his career, for once he tried his early efforts on Mr. Knox in order to get his judgment as to his prospects and progress as a writer. Mr. Knox conducted a barber shop at the time in Greenfield, and Riley and his young associates hung around the place like young fellows about the stores of a country town. Mr. Knox has in his possession a shaving mug the name on which Mr. Riley painted about the time when he tried his hand at that business. Mr. Knox is familiar with the early struggles of the poet, with the places, scenes and persons about Greenfield which Mr. Riley made famous through his works. It strikes us that our race will soon be confronted with the question of how to save ourselves from ourselves. This week, so far, we have had two cases of murder by Colored persons, and at this writing the week is but half spent. This is unusual, but murder among us is not unusual. In fact we are overdoing our share of that kind of business. It will be greatly to our hurt if we build up a reputation for viciousness in view of our very trying relationship to the general people. The white people of this city greatly outnumber us, nearly ten one, yet we are afraid that the record of killing in recent years will not show that ten to one of the murders are committed by white persons as against Negroes. Without the figures in front of us we feel safe in saying that there is not a great difference between the total number of murders committed in a year by white and Colored people. If we are at all thoughtfully readily see that if the thing keeps up we that cannot escape the charge that is so often set against our people. Somehow the thing must stop, or at least, must change for the better. If not we will not grow in the estimation of discerning people. It is unfortunate but true, that we are considered in a way our brothers' keeper—a handicap—but it does not excuse the wicked deeds of men. It says that if our race variety insists on furnishing the most crime, then it is because of the makeup of our race variety. It is the logic of the situation. Our business is to see to it that the race does not overdo its share of the bad things. JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. This week, all Indiana is mourning the loss of one of its most distinguished sons, in the person of James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, who died at his home in Indianapolis, Saturday evening, July 22. Mr. Riley had been in failing health for several years, and which was generally known in this city, yet his death came as a complete surprise to all excepting, perhaps, those of his closest acquaintance. Not Indiana alone mourns the loss of the great man, the whole country is no less sensible of the fact that one has been so much more than Mr. Riley's place in letters as a poet will not soon be filled. The class of writers to which he belonged has long since ceased to flourish in the world. The world no longer sends forth the purely poet, whose merits appeal to all, fifty, and one tain child of the muse. And it lamentes the strange ordering of things which shuts it out from the peculiar genius of other days. It is no wonder that we clung so tenaciously to Riley, since he seems to have been the last hope of his distinguished line. The fountain of poesy, it seemed, would go dry with Riley gone. The heavens were scanned and no man appeared in sight to don his mantle, then to hold him forever was the one thought. Death may have been thought of in connection with other men, but somehow it was not thought of in connection with him. But it was more than the theory to the last hope that made a permanent place for Mr. Riley in the affections of those who read him. He was essentially the poet of the people. He had a word for all classes. The common folk saw their common ways done up in the height of literary value—poetry. Poetry has ever appealed as the highest literary form to all from the cradle to the grave. To see one very self reflected in it is a compliment that yields the largest possible return by way of love, tears and thankfulness. He reached the heart of mankind whether of the humble or great, and with sentiment and expression that in some manner were common and known, yet as uttered by him came trooping home with a newer and greater significance—the divinity of lesser things. The poet met the child mind face to face, as it were, and in doing so created a new and special realm of devotees. Pope said that the proper study of man is man. Riley when in his child kingdom seems to have said that the proper study of children is children. He touched on their child life, and in their child language; and they knew and understood. They forgot about the other great domain of literature where the poet held sway, holding him as peculiarly their own. He, to him, was one of them, and doubtless, he, when surrounded by them on Lockerbie street surrendered all outside care and thought, becoming wholly theirs for the time being. And like Longfellow and those blue-eyed banditti of his household, he put them into the round tower of his heart to keep them there forever and a day. The world of thought was moved by the poet's love of those household divinities which were never his in fee simple. Indiana has taken rise in literature owing to Mr. Riley. The country has taken rise in literature owing to Mr. Riley. The English language is richer owing to Mr. Riley. For who can read his works without gaining new thought and expression. Then the poet's truer and greater work, that of spreading cheer and love in the world, the scarcely less than Christy mission; here he was rooted and grounded, reminding one of Christ's declarations to Peter—on this rock I build my church. Then Mr. Riley reflected his works, or his works reflected him. Good and kindly he was; nor could he have been otherwise—the tree is known by its fruit. Children are only attracted by the good and beautiful, whether of soul or countenance. Like as a mother, we prefer to say, loveth her children, so this great man loved humanity. He loved mankind in weakness and in strength. He, like the great sun above us, shined on all. Youth and age, beauty and homeliness, bond and free were joint heirs of his spiritual empire—where universality were wrt large. WRONG CONCLUSION. The Afro-American of Baltimore has jumped at a wrong conclusion of our attitude on the Waco, Texas, horror. In its issue of last week it was made to appear that The Freeman exhibited undue humility when discussing that happening. The Baltimore publication seized on the tail end of that editorial, and which, if thought apart from the remarks that preceded would perhaps have justified the stricture of that publication. We go to some length in the matter of declaring ourselves, and for a very good reason as we view it. It is not best, perhaps, to admit the consciousness of one's rating or value, since self acknowledgment destroys confidence, being in the nature of a boast; and moreover it is an evidence of the lack of the very fitness that is the content of the boast. In other words, no reliance is to be put in boastful individuals, for those that are something and can do things have no capacity for boasting. However, now and then the most reserved, the most reticent and the most wise, find it necessary to defend themselves or be swept out of existence. We hope the long prologue will be pardoned, but it will be readily seen that this publication would be useless as a race paper if it stood for assertions that we are compelled to insist that we know the value of our publication as it concerns those questions wherein our race is concerned. The Baltimore publication has said much in little, consequently we are not having a tempest in a teapot. When it is said that The Freeman shows indifference to the race trials and tribulations it is struck in a most vital spot, and in this case, most unjustly so. The race has been the burden of our songs since the publication first uttered to the world. True enough it is, that time, circumstances and the rest of it have called for some modification of views, that is, modification in the expression of views. We have been convinced that worth time and diplomacy are more to be dependable. We have discovered that our race does not possess the total capacity for "fire eating", nor the total disposition. That is a soft answer turnip away wrath is no less true in these days than in Biblical days. The Baltimore publication takes exception to our expression that a resignment to fate is the better thing. The bare assertion, perhaps, gives the impression that we should become as sheep, when we have in mind a nobility that does not rush the dreams of men every night. Resignation in the instance means a sort of stoicism such as possessed the bosom of the Spartan mother who insisted that her son bring back his shield or let it be his temporary funeral pile. Here was resignation to the worst that could happen. Whatever happened in the course of warfare was to be accepted as warfare's incident, and not a thing of evernaring anguish, destroying race reliability and dependence. We are in a warfare, civil, indeed, but which is not a warfare, exceeding, exceeding, at times, those known to the fields of battle—the Waco horror, for example. "The enemy" if we may thus express it, is not terrified by holding up its deeds. If it were not terrified in the commission, think you that it will be willed by a mere reflection? THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Only ourselves are horror stricken, and tend to lose heart because there is no corresponding response to the exhibition. We are defeated by the apathy or indifference that follows among those whom we wish to touch, and the Negroes are reduced spiritually, consequently there is a distinct loss as we said in the previous editorial. The spirit of true nobility dictates that our sacrifice be smothered deep in the heart, something never to be forgotten, but too sacred, we will say, a thing to the breice of selfish and flounders of those who caused them. And unless a race has true nobility, it will, like a people without vision, perish from the face of the earth. was held and some new officers elected and new reforma voted to guide that body of craftsmen for the next Holiness church of the city. The field day sports entertainment to be held by the various K. of P. Hilderbrand, the Booker T. Washington fund promises some great sport for the large crowd of people who will join the Booker T.

Sea date in next issue of The Freeman and the Dallas City is here visiting their cousin, H. Hutcherson, who will for several days held here this week. What shall we do? We should keep stout hearts, forgetting at no time to lay our complaints before those that can help us in the matters of which we complain. The "King" should be respectfully petitioned, not accompanied by grief and lamentation, the certain sign of feebleness and helplessness. Kings nor men care anything about impotency, helplessness or any of their signs. We advance by stern manhood, demands and not by the sight of wounds. We still insist that if you weep you weep alone. Men are not won by supplication and prayers. We are heirs in this country by virtue of our creation by God, by the higher written laws and by the spirit of all other laws, and which should conform to the doctrine of the higher laws. We proceed up through the courts and not by the way of hanged men if we would advance, failing there we are to be resigned, going back, working inward reforms, becoming most fitted and efficient then advance again to our Verdun. We take our rights in republics; not beg them. We do not wring out mercy, we take what belongs to us. If we cannot take it today we wait until the time comes—that's resignation. SACRIFICING TO AN END. "He that loveth his life shall lose it"—a startling proposition one, perhaps, would say at first blush, but true enough in more ways than one. The Bible as a book of literature, of precept, of example is not surprised, it is said by scholars and thinkers, for its influence on the human family. To lose one's life and to gain it at the same time is paradoxical enough yet there are plenty examples in human affairs of that very thing. However, the life referred to may not be a direct answering of the death. Nor will the proposition fit every situation in life. It is not always possible that the particular life sacrificed will gain. In some form the law is general. The dying acorn of today is the oak of tomorrow. Death unto life, is the law of most religions, and as it seems for most every thing under heaven. With men the law is applicable in various ways, and no day passes but when the individual can see an opportunity to sacrifice for a good beyond himself; and since it is good it is a contribution to the world's stock of happiness. In thinking along this line we may well conclude that suffering and hunger, while heir to the world should be at a minimum if it rests with members of the human family to thus reduce it. And the world is taking largely of that view in these later days. The cry of the Christians of Armenia is heard in America and answered, and as it happened also were concerns other countries but were brought out by the world's tragedy enacted on the soil of the old world. We take it that this is also a manner of love which is referred to, denying oneself in the interest of others, not taking too much thought of the individual to the exclusion of all others. If we love our lives too dearly there will follow a compensating loss somewhere. We do not lose directly, but the world is communal. The individual cannot live merely for self. His aspirations as a rule are to see about him evidences of the best that the world can set forth, in governments in peoples, and these things obtaining he is in agreement with his nature which when ministered to by its better angel is more or less touched with divinity. So in a way the individual salvation, or his better existence is dependent on the theory that "he that loveth his life shall lose it." The state is good and happy as the individuals are good and happy—happy in their collectiveism as well as individually and of course, a natural result. At times society must be protected, or advanced. In such events the individual must give away to the demand of the general good. And the good citizen bows in submission to the demand since it means the conservation and perpetuity of the society of which he is a member. The border line of our country which touches on Mexico is to be preserved inviolate, freed of the excursions of lawless men. It is a phase of governmental principle, and which, if not enforced, would result in the destruction of society as it is best understood. The decay would reach every man. Then from the "four corners" of the earth, as it were, are heard the tramp of feet, leading with clear vision to the spot where duty calls. These are the people's representatives, sent forth to their vicarious mission—to die that their country maintains its status as a safe and salutary haven for those that make it up. This is an undoubted service. The soldier whose duty it is to die, since war deals in death, loves his life, but his country more. It is not necessary that every soldier dies to prove that soldiers are of the utmost importance. The death of one is a sign for the whole. One life is as a million lives, since its destruction is as disastrous to the little group with which it mingled, when at home, as the million deaths would be to the million groups, none of which is more important than the other. Soldiers are one by one and not by the millions. If there is a greater loss in the millions over the one it is simply because of the weakened condition of the state through the great numerical reduction. The soldiers who go to the front in the name of the nation are precisely the same to that nation in a civil and religious priest was to the world of Christianity. DALLAS. TEXAS.

FOR SAVINGS Capital and Surplus $1,755,000 Open Saturday Evenings 6 to 8 O'Clock THEATRES HERE AND SPORTS THERE AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YORK By Jack Trotter AT THE NEW LINCOLN THEATER Great Five-Reel All-Colored Photoplay Interests the Largest Audience Ever Before Seen in Attendance at a Har- lem Theater — Frederick Douglas Film Company First to Attempt Colored Drama on Screen, Which, From Every Indication, Points to an Amazing Success. (By Jack Trotter) Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, gave a wrench to the chains which bound into slavery. Both Wiggins and the other two were to be told with bow, and love darts to practice on the hearts of a newly found race of people. The above describes briefly the great five-reel "royal drama" of the Great Ancestry of the world. This was, which was presented at the New Lincoln-theater last Sunday afternoon and evening before what was probably the large number of people ever turned out to witness a photoplay. The picture unfolds a story of struggles and triumphs, temptations and humiliations, sorrows and joys, which lead to a ultimate allot of life. The scenes are laid in the far North and in the far South. They show phases of Negro life before the war and as it is now. The book has been written about the whole world's years, through frugal living and hard work, rise in wealth and power; who, by the time he becomes old enough, is now off to a new life. Washington, D.C. Four years later he returns home armed with a diploma from the law department and falls in love with his sister's chum. Almost after a few years, he goes to a making, he gains her consent to become his wife. His fiance, however, on returning to her home, discovers the other parents have made the selection of another man, rich contractor, to be her husband. She notifies Bob of her enforced change of heart by letter, advising him to forego the keeping of his intentions of establishing a law office in her home city. Made of stern stuff and caring for Alma in a deep, genuine way, Bob refuses to give her up for the asked, and she has always in the packs his belongings and goes to the town of her home at once. His visits to the girl's home were met with curt rebuffs by Alma's parents, who firmly insisted that she wed the man of their choice. At about this stage, Alma's father, who was then operating the largest express business in the city, was asked a director of a colored banking institution, was arrested and charged with the stealing of a thousand-dollar pearl necklace which had been sent for delivery through his express company. The arrest was inspired by a jealous white townsman, who, prior to the coloured man entering business, had enjoyed the entire express business there. Feeling sure the arrested man's conviction on the charge of it was impossible for him to procure counsel, every white lawyer in town was pledged to let the case severely alone. Thus it happened that Bob—the only colored attorney in that town—was sent to ant. In the courtroom scene the youth is shown making a strong plea before the jury and bar for justice. He is then asked to pledge the pearls strung about the neck of a little girl's doll, which were found by her in the middle of a rose where they had been sewn. The girl expresses wagon's deliveryman. Bob triumphantly secures the release of his client, winning his first case, his girl her parents and all in one stroke. MISS ANITA BUSH'S RETURN TO DRAMA MADE LAST WEEK IN "THE BISHOP'S CARRIAGE" AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER. (By Jack Trotter) Little Miss Anita Bush visited the Lafayette playhouse last week in "The Guise of Nance Olden." Nance is the famous creation and the all-important figure in Channing Pollak's great four-volume novel, *was nothing in the world that quickened her pulses or made life more difficult.* She was the woman of a thief. And she took pleasure in the knowledge that she had been a thief, a hardened thief whose only passions were for thieving—and for her. She loved this man in a sort of love that was not in the world him through thick and thin—until William Latimer, a great criminal lawman, gave all of the good there is to him through thick and thin—until he can to others. Pity marked his first meeting with Nance, whose true character he discovered within a few months of his own home of the parents of the girl he was keeping company with. From the girl he developed from pity to that of love. His influence upon her was such that her love for the old life of Nance was higher and purer nature. Of course the story ended happily for all—even who realized the girl's steadfast purpose to never resume the life she had before in his life and for loveness did the biggest thing he had before in his life. He gave her up. Miss Bush's acting in this play showed that she was never since we last saw her here. Her part, while being the central figure in the story, will doubtless go very time the players, who were unfamiliar with their lines while playing in this play, to give greater winn to their respective parts. EDDIE DORSEY WINS OVER MEL GOOGAN IN EAST FIGHT FAN FIGHT. Eddie (Kid) Dorsey, City Cyclone, bumped into and demolished that Irish institution of Brooklyn, N. Y., well known to the Irish, but not to the last Friday evening at Pat Mullen's cool and spacious Clairmont A. C. I wish the spectacle to the Brooklynites, who pell mell to witness the human tornado put through his destructive work on the city, and the Irish blood that's in him fought a battle which was truly ancestry. The demolishment of Coogan ever, was nowhere in sight until the eighth round, when Dorsey became the only one of the visits of Coogan's left swings to his face, cut loose and fed Mel with his fight against the left hooks and jabs which brought his fighting opponent to his knees, and his performance of the eighth, but unwittingly allowed Coogan to shake hands on arising, which action decisively belied the White boy had slipped. Another bout which proved thoroughly interesting Frankie William (Clover) White boy. These boys wounded in a 119 pounds each and caused in a moment through their fighting ability. Williams was the winner at the finish. NERO CHINK WHITE DAVE KURTZ IN A PRETTY FIGHT. Nero Chinn, who only last winter attended a preliminary bourse in the city, honors into the first division of college heights on last Friday evening at the university beyond the shadow of masthead. Kurtz, of Newark, N. J. His decision to join the prestigious prestige to his own name beheaded in line as a contender for the middleweight championship and should be considered. It is understood, holds a knockout. Smith, of Bayonne, N. J. the man who defeated Australia, and has received the decision in a recent bout over the Paul phantom, Mike Gibbons. SPENCER GAINS THE DECISION OVER YOUNG KETCHEL YOUNG KETCHEL Mark Spencer of Boston Terrier, made his first appearance engaging engagement last Friday evening since the revision of the Color line and clavier lightweight. Young Ketcher the weights of the two boys were nounced from the ringside as being 154 pounds. Ketcher was 154 pounds from me, men, that if Ketcher knew didn't balance the scale for more than his head, he'd fasten it with weighters 150 even when Fiona weighed a pound. Mark, as is his custom while fighting, was on top of his head, and fasten it mixing it with Ketcher won out for him on points. Once in the second round Spencer contends with a solid right to Ketcher now which came near to ending the fiasco.

And they all cut the stuff and are making a big hit. Mr. Moorland was one of the first to get Remick's hit, "Mt. U." and gave it to the natives in fine style. Do you remember: When Will Malone was musical director with Mahara? When Etta Lee Right was the first director? When P. G. Wright could find an opera house large enough for the Nashville students? When Lou Hall did a cake walk with a possum? When Blind Boon Mulligan married Mary Louise When the Heyers Sisters were the first Colored sister team!

Not a male tone he register high and clear; he makes little quips, trills, riffs and runs that class women soop-song singers make. It still gives a reminder of the remote mumbo, mumbo, yodler, singing his great successfully. Then his prolonged note is saptifully on its wing, flying without a bass. Anderson calls the blues, a phase of grande, grand opera. If it were grand, then he were its Caruso. Perhaps he that kind of singing, met Saturday a boat in the sea when he put over his blue ones. Anderson is versatile, giving a performance that pleases all. He is one of the known performers as well as one of the performers of the colored professionals.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW BILLY KING & CO. AT THE GRAND "In Society" Pleases and "The World of Strife," a Drama Dealing With Capitalism and Abandon. Has Its Initial Hearing and Absorbed Interest to Full Houses. Torrid heat did not prevent Billy King and his players from drawing a more angular musical comedy of last season, which gave pleasure. King was a funny, familiar butter in a white cap and a familiar smile, the sociology of his song, "What's the Use of Anything?" was well met. Hattie McIntosh looked charming as in the society play, and her body was pleasing, and Howard Kelly as a Rube society man was quite the charming. Thressa Brooks was right at home as a maid, and Billy Walker was a good tramp with a clean white shirt and a jacket, and she was with a neat straight. The vocal numbers were gems, especially Gertrude Woolley and Estelle Harris in "Dixieland." Both captivated. The choruses were in good trim and kept the orchestra in good subjection. The white vaudeville had Nick Santors in his well-known pugilist skirt and satisfaction. Joe Kennie was a roller skater who danced a railroad representation on the stage and Hazel Lynch and唱 stories. As a whole, Billy King must be given special credit for his superior skill as a general producer, regardless of defects, of his work. He hails his productions with pleasure. The white vaudeville had Gedman and company, shadowgraphers, and who are amused by the talent of Terri & Harvey in a student act in which they ridiculously find a baby, pleased foolish people, and Anna Mae Belle was a high kicker dancer in a good singing voice whose act qualified. Madam Haekley Introduces Carrie Brown in *Ner Pupils* 'Demon- Madam E. Azalia Hackley of the Normal Vocal Institute, of which she is director, gave a pupils demonstration in church last Monday evening, and she is doing a truly great work in Chicago; and her great work in class by herself among the vocal singers and teachers of her race. Carrie Brown appeared as a like voice capable of execution, not vet developed for judgment, but the Shadow Song from Dinoral and Caro trifecta, and adjudged her future as a possibility. William Hart in poetic and pleasing demeanor, and the Tuesday Afternoon Class in four chorus numbers was a credit to themselves and their teacher, vouchered safe in her teaching by having her class pupils answer questions as in vowel movements, such as college boy yells and humming. The recital in all was a treat, and the teacher engaged and supported by the best people. KID BUMSKY! Talking, Singing, Eccentric Dances For Vandance and St. John, the event after 8 weeks at Address me at Park Theatre, Galveston, Tex. Doe Doe Green has a comedy company at the New Monogram. He is soon to head Billy King's company No. 2. The bill at the Old Monogram is written by Ben and Goldie Crossby, Margie Lorraine and Walken and Johnson. PROGRAM OF THE MOVIES. Bert A. Williams in Biograph Pictures. "A Natal Born Gambler" served to the audience at the once one of Williams & Walker, at the Renaissanceix. What the public don't like and that the actors think about it cuts into the allure of the known call of a knocker because actors to qualify. There is nothing to recommend in the Williams picture except the one known card shuffling scene, which is played while serving in prison for gambling. There are but few laughs throughout the picture, with the gamblers den jamboree, with in midst the nothing except Williams, who has underdressed his standard. And I must remember that colored people in picture compete in production and lavish expenditure or else "don't knock the picture out" because the public won't have them" is another ken Fetters.

Arthur Malone and Jim Train have joined hands and opened at the Vaulette theater, Detroit. The two popular boys should make a good team.

Mr. Cantor has moved from the Pantages offices in the North American building to his new quarters, No. 720 Consumers building, Chicago, Ill. Billy Caldwell, the original "Steamboat Bill" and the oldest living cost of the new service, and a most well-accentricial blackface comedian, was a familiar figure last week on the stroll. I first met Mr. Caldwell when I visited Chicago as a singer during the world's fair, and we were relating to each other to how upstart actors and writers of today flound out all cause of their dire lack in experience, training and education, and how their big head and self-conceit is crushed when they are brought to a test. And it is quite the same with politicians laborers and people, in other walks of life. This subject could be one of very wide range. It is discovered that it is best not to be familiar with people who are known to be dishonest, or insulting. People who do not know enough to treat people according to the quality of what they represent rather than fine looks. fine clothes and money are hardly worthy of much consideration themselves. WOODEN'S BONTONS. (By L. Walton) We opened in the State of Tennessee to a turn away business. Everybody says it's the best show that has been in the city. It's everybody.

Subsequent events have proven the fallacy of this reasoning, since the precedent wave of crime has swept South and its neighboring streets. The Police department of other large cities has used Colored policemen for the purpose of suppressing crime in the Negro districts, and using Colored policemen have If the Police Department had seen fit to remove the Colored policemen to other districts, there would have been no need for the arrest of Philadelphia, but when the removal was at the instigation of the Jewish business men, and when these same Jewish business men were from the patronage of Colored people, great indignation was manifested. Mr. Williams is the acknowledged champion of the city of Brotherly Love (?). Mr. Williams, with Andrew Stevens, of the Banking firm of Brown and Stevens, of the mass meetings were held, with these worthy gentlemen presiding. The Colored people were asked to withhold their patronage from the South St. Mr. Williams printed thousands of handbills and posters, exhorting the Colored people to stand together and to refuse to feed those who would bite them after eating. The action of the Colored people caused consternation among the Jewes, and they presented at the meeting of the league, the resolutions we passed that caused the removal of the Colored policemen, the resolutions we passed that caused the copies of these letters printed in the Tribune. The Police Commissioner was sought, he endeavored to shield the Jewes from the police, in thinking that the exchange of Police was an action separate from the Business League, so that the Colored people sought to fool the Colored people by ordering back a Colored policeman for duty on South St. for a few hours each day, so that the Colored people were being treated thus that the Police Department a chance to say that the Colored policemen were being treated, the fact remains that the white policemen are still doing duty on South St. Mr. Williams and Mr. Steven are still waiting for their right. They have been offered large sums of money to desist, but with these men the price of honor comes too low. They have been offered the South St. Businessmen's League. One good result of the fight is that NEWS OF THE PLAYERS Mr. A. F. Cox and wife enroute with the Virginia Minstrels, sends best regards to Dad and M. Howard, Tula, Okla. Mack and Billie (Billie and Mary) just finished a five weeks' engagement at the Columbia Theater, New Orleans, La. Hello friends, write sometime. Robert H.

The many friends of T. L. Corwell will be pleased to know that he has entirely recorded his career in harness again the coming season as manager of the Smart Set Company, and promises a new show with many new people, opening early **FIGHT WITH YOUR FISTS, BUT KEEP HANDS OUT.** SAYS **SALFM WHITNEY.** Salem Tutt Whitney believes in fighting, but not in the kind of open-arm uplifting, but in the kind of open-arm chines, such as are used in the European war. Yes, it's all right to fight with a man face to face. If he insults you, your wife, sister or mother, fight back. If you can, and you can, good if you can; and you can, good if you will know that you have stood "But don't you go to war, and don't send your boys out to be ground up in madness." You can, in turning a crank on a giant gun when you cannot even see who it kills. That is cowardly; it is murder, salem. That Tutt Whitney is the leading comedian of the Smart Sex, which berber with a new two-act musical show. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATRE, PHILADELPHIA. "Old Timers" are well represented on the bill this week, and they are not remiss in providing detectable entertainers in the show. Tutt Whitney's "Jubilee Minstrels" of 20 people, which is the headliner. They revive on the boards of Gibson's New York club, and the theatre-goers of this town have for that old style of entertainment. With Homer Tutt as interlocutor and Homer Tutt as assistant shall and William Face as end men, all old in the ways of the black face, and a quartette of male, singers that objectively show the talent stuff that the tenor minstrel man has always used. The act proves a big success. Salem Tutt Whitney is even mellifluous, and deeply deeply introduced imitations are hard to surpass. Steve Bam sings with a gusto and throws over comments with a punch. The act has further dazzled by the plenty of jokes of a timely sort. The the Colored business men of Philadelphia have organized a company and are selling limited stock, for the parish houses for the accommodation of the Colored people and there is no doubt that business enterprises receive the limited port of the Colored people of Philadelphia. We need more true men in the Race, like Mr. Maree, who are unwilling to sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage. Dave Listen, is again able to be about, after a two weeks confinement in the Polyclinic Hospital. He will soon appear in Steve and Liston's stock company. Miss Hattie Akers has recovered from a broken leg and has appeared before the footlights once more to the manifest delight of her many admirers. Moss and Frye, the popular vaudeville team have received a flattering offer to exhibit abroad this coming summer, and not lessened the demand for good Colored talent in the war stricken countries. The Five Musical Byrons had a run of four weeks in Philadelphia, included were the feature attraction on each bill. Limited time alone kept them from extending their run. The Baldwin, Beaxton, Carter trio, known as the three Arabs, are booked for an extended tour of the West, after which they will withhold a third tour of their continuing. Tho boys are the cleverest in their line. The Griffin sisters are popular favourites who have surrounded themselves with a clever company including Miss Edwards. They carry special scenery and display is nothing short of gorgeous. ... The Freeman is gaining in popularity all the time. The number of copies he has published is quite to meet the demand. The same cry comes from Ne work and other companies. The management should take immediate measures to supply the demand from this section of the country. Frank Brown and company have been presenting some very fine dramatic skits at Gibson's new Standard. Mr. Brown, the company's Brown, leading ability and temperament, but he is a producer as well, having written all the playbills that his company has produced. Lady, deserves great credit for her really meritorious work. Mr. Dumont the cost worthy special mention. Al Branch, proprietor of the Horseshoe cafe in Atlantic City, will open a swell restaurant at 12th and 13th floors, and will be one of the finest in the city. Mr. Branch is not saving money but is expending money to pay for friends may enjoy every comfort that money can afford them. There will be a welcome party and a welcome is extended the public to come and visit the new establishment. Mr. Branch is a Colored man and stands for all the highest and best in his profession is the desire of the patronage of all Philadelphiaians. Sheldons Comedy Comiques, the young and the old, skilled athletes who are born in fashion go through a series of challenges, including Strayborn, a juvenile singing and dancing team make a decided hit. They are viewed as a promising act as promised for this week in presentation of Frank Brown and co-pair in "Deception", and the promise is fulfilled in a most satisfying maneuver. The show is probably enacted and poves another hit for Lillian Brown, War, adventures, and charmingly resolved in "The Recruit, or joining the Army", an act that closes the show. It keeps the audience pleased and interested, and it has made a name for its popular South Philadelphia play house. DEWAYMAN NILES, OUR FAVOR ITE, AGAIN, OURS IN OUR CITY. (By Samuel McDuffy.) Oklahoma City, Okla., July 18—The Rabbit's Foot Minstrels played here last night giving a first class performance of Dewayn Niles the contortionist, who charmed and astonished the people of this city seven years ago in his admirers present, many not knowing that he was with the show, and were delighted by his presence. Since last he was seen here he has far surpassed himself. With ease, and more graceful than ever, he parlayed his fame into a difficult contortion feats ever witnessed by human eyes. While Niles performed those thrilling feats, the enthused him and his wonder. Many turned their heads and refused to look at him. He wears a collection of costumes and attention. This denotes that he has met with success and prosperity in the show world. He has been a part of our city in vaudeville very soon. We will be glad to have him back. He is a great credit to the colored theatrical passion, and the absence from the crowd would mean a considerable weakness on the program. NEWS OF THE SILAS GREEN SHOW Four Big Novelty Acts and Every One a Feature. First, George Baker, known in the theatrical circles as "Marvelous La Buster," sets wire walker of today and makes his audiences rather nervous fearing he will be like a fly on the wall, and closes his act with a trick the writer has never seen before. He makes a sketch of the wire walker leaving her on the wire by the back of his head. At this some of the audience close their eyes in fright. Little Mrs. Iris Boyd, the greatest female contortionist of her race, and is learning new tricks with the help of her sister, leaves her on the wire to climb so loimbs to walk. Mrs. Boyd is also taking saxaphone lessons under the instructor and is progressing nicely. Keep it up, "Mutt," and is Means—Buster—Means, the celebrated chair balancer and little Buster the Dog with human sense, and the only one of its kind, cept those who try to imitate. But we lead while others follow. Buster Fourth, last, but not least, come those wonderful boys, the Watts Bros., the best comedy acrobats and the tumbling jesters, the funny boys with those funny twists in their line. They are now the feature attraction with the Silas Green show. The boys are in our red hot singles in line. First on the oloi is Ada Lockhart, our leading lady, who has added to her repertoire "Barny," sending her son to Mexico, featuring "Barny from Killarney" and "Be The Friends or Foe, the People," and "Home of Sweet Home," and she is screaming them each night. She expects to add another impersonation as the all friends. Hello, Mabel Johnston.

APR. 10 operatic singer of rare ability and her appearance easily places her where she belongs—the prima donna. Third on the bill is one of our great-est and new school in the person of Frank Smedley, who has held the same position on this show for nine years. A good record, Frank, old boy. Mr. Smedley has also t'ken up the study of the taxed phone. Fourth copies Mrs. Desdamona Rhoda McNeil, who is forced to work single owing to her husband, Mr. John McNeil, having an accident. While moving Mrs. McNeil's large trunk down the leg was used to be in Makka, Mr. Va. the trunk fell upon his right ankle, severing the foot from the same. He has been suffering four weeks now, but can use his crutches with agility. Mrs. McNeil has the company's heartfelt symbol of but was a great well-known female. She works nicely alone, but we wish her husband a speedy recovery. We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Peter Booker, beloved father of our second coronist. Lakew is the Booker's best-respected this life July 13 at Washington D.C., where Mr. L. Booker had sent him for his health. Mr. Booker departed for Washington, where it is to be supposed to be will bury his father. He has been age 25. The symphony in his bereavement We must say for Mr. Williams, our noble manager, that he certainly has the skills to think big and thinking faculties. He feels that he can't give the public too much for its needs. He feels that he has carried the last ten years with Colored shows, and he expects to see the public ever witness, and in doing so he expects to show the public something new and rare every year and entertaining. So from this it can be seen that no act with the goods can compete with Prof. Eph Williams' Elsine Green Show. (By Odell Robison.) Lange's Dixie Minstrels are still packing the house every night. Mr. Marilyn wants to hear from his wife Mrs. Mamie Rolison. Everybody with the company is well.

Richard and Pringles Minstels was to be the big one wanted to take his girl, so he called her up over phone and of course she wanted to take his girl, so he called the theatre and secured a pair of the best seats and was contented.

In principle this rule was adhered to to the last, as a statement issued by the Giants. Yorks today revealed had asked for permission to negotiate for a managerial berth to the team's minds. While the deal involved only the two Cincinnati players for the three New York players, it was hard to argue that President Herman announced that Matthson the fact that it was not until Matty would vole in charge of the team be allowed. Even until the last New York endeavored to hold on to Matty conditionally, Clinclnati's Demand Met. The deal was consummated at noon today, after a two-hour conference between President Herrmann and Hempstead Giants. The trade had been practically agreed upon a couple of days ago, until New York insisted that Herrmann which would subject him to recall after two years. At the conference today, Hempstead and McGraw finally agreed to allow Matheny to play a property of the Cincinnati club. Immediately after the confrontation with Hertzog, the latter agreeing to all parts of the agreement. THE FREEMAN.

Iv Wingo, catcher and captain of the Reds, took charge of the team today in the double-header with Philadelphia. Herzog signing with New York Giants, shuffled and Mathewson still being in Chicago. Herzog's Consent Necessary Herzog's Consent Necessary. Herzog's contract with the Reds stipulated that he must have his consent. Herzog was waiting at a hotel pending the conclusion of the conference in Herrmann's office and McGraw went at once to the hotel deal, but Herzog, in the terms of the deal had been agreed upon. President Herzog issued the fol- President Herrmann issued the following statement: "We expect gerat things through the new deal. McGraw himself says that in the best outfitters in the country, Rousch being both fast and a hard hitter can not make up the speed manager can not make up the speed team, and by obtaining Rousch we add another trade to this trade; in addition to this trade we expect to make several other trades in an effort to add more strength to the team to be made before the team starts. East." Matty Held in High Regard. President Hempstead made the following statement: "I wish to announce the release of the College of Business to thetwon of the College baseball club,wishes for his success are mingled with many regrets that he will leave the College baseball club years the New York fans have enjoyed the games in which he has participated and have given him their unqualified support, good work and respect. He was in the highest regard, but not more than 1 or the entire management of the baseball club, and his high regard for the organization, have placed him in our hearts as well as in our minds, and there was no thought circumventing his services to thetwon of the College baseball club requested permission to trade for him to act as their manager. He was the greatest teacher, privilege and feeling that he was due him for his past services, under these conditions. I most reluctantly consented." Certainly wish him well in his new line of endeavor and trust that his name will stand as "high as a manager of the United States." A WM. DISMUKES Who is pitching wonderful ball for C.I. L.

The most gorgeous displays of centennial fireworks to be fired in Indiana this year will be seen at the big night spectacle which will be the centenary feature of the state fair the week of Sept. 4. The spectacle itself will be a brilliant historical review of Indiana for 100 years and the fireworks program each evening has been especially made up for the big patriotic demonstration. The fireworks will include a long list of special set pieces, one of them snowing the evolution of transportation in Indiana from the ox team down to the modern locomotive. Another feature will be a Hoosier barnyard scene, showing a barn covered with fiery flowers, where a farmer is feeding his chickens while the cows and pigs look on. One of the richest displays will be a Hoosier rose in evolution, showing the formation of the leaves, the opening of the bud, the full blown flower, gradually fading in its loveliness until its petals fall. Georgeous skyrockets, salutes to Old Glory, centennial peace bombs fired hundreds of feet in the air, and other superb features will combine in making the program the greatest of the kind ever seen in Indiana. FISH, FOOD, FORESTRY EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR A new feature of interest to all visitors at the coming Indiana state fair will be a large exhibit of fish from the lakes and streams of the state, which will be exhibited by Eugene Shireman, fish and game commissioner.

The finest in the world of its kind. I found nothing to equal it.—C. W. Scott, 2921 Armour avenue, Chicago. My teeth were so black they had turned blue almost. They are perfectly white now.—Henry Ford, Detroit, Beaubien street. Dr. Davis, at the Davis Drug Store, on South street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, Philadelphia, highly recommends it. Removes everything unnatural from off and between the teeth, both on and in and outside them, the second time you wash the teeth with it. It is perfectly harmless and in many cases keeps the teeth from decaying. Makes better health, breath and stomach. Five minutes after washing the teeth half of the blackness will be removed. It is guaranteed to make the teeth perfectly white. As a rule, when the dentist means the teeth, he scrapes them and that has a tendency to take off the enamel. the gloss and beauty so much desired. But this will clean them and leave the enamel uninjured. Notice. Rinse brush with water, then mouth, then apply eight or ten drops of Sucrose to teeth thoroughly, brushing across and up and down, using pressure; then use only water and brush after each meal. Not necessary to use paste, use only water and brush them. Do it yourself. Use Superior Cleaner every other day if you choose until clean, then a few drops once a day. Use paste to allow the tartar to accumulate again. Water and brush is all that is necessary between these different intervals of time. Agent wanted. Write today for terms. CHAS. H.

THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PREPARATIONS AND WHY YOU SHOULD BE AN AGENT. Our goods have been on the market everywhere they have been introduced. They always take the leadership in every city or town where they are located and any other system on the market today. Our agents are all successful and have little trouble in building a link between the different diseases and the we teach them more about the care of the scalp, than just washing and drying their hair. We understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their agents are able to explain to them WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents treat the proper care of the agents concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't understand the scalp, but they know at a glance at the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition Some people are of the opinion that what will grow one person's hair will grow in the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the scalp will not grow in the treating of the scalp. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many people, softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens up the skin, cures humor, slight cases of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of tetter and eczema, and comer comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast and out any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to the customer, they them to effect a cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial, send $1 for a five assorted shipment. Those desiring the agency send term. Address all mail to Mme. T. G. Bram- lion, N. West Street, Indianapolis Indiana. ..ENGAGEMENT RINGS.. We specialize in engagement rings.
