The country is thoroughly awakened to the fact that the training of the negro is undergoing a rapid development in the question of how to make this training effective, at the least necessary, and how the distribution of the money is made in a suitable way. The attendance at the National Training School November 21 is fair to be large and representative, and the expect great good to flow.

While the drama is being heartily appreciated by a large and intelligent couple, the nation's capital, as by the standard plays being, is presented by the Quality Amusement Company, who denied that vaudeville is far from the standard quantity just now, through lack of opportunity for adequate exploitation, there is no suitable house in a first-class vaudeville can have home of the letter with the Howard as the home of the letter with the high-class theater here, devoted to high-class musical comedy, road shows and company theatre, would be a paying proposition from the opening of the doors. That vaudeville are hungering for vaudeville, without strangling the eligible audience, the drama was forcibly demonstrated. Friday night, when a "mid-afternoon show" was the Howard from home to bottom with the Howard from bottom to bottom with the appreciation of standing room and premium in the balcony and standard boxes. From an economic standard that as many of our people may work both the drama and vaudeville, should be encouraged, and each should be encouraged for public patronage. The people in entertainment and are willing to work or be kept up to its present standard, and standard drama will find plenty of capable exponents if the opportunities and rewards are such as will justify the best artists in engaging in that line of en- gagement, we do well to think over this carefully.

Promise to Give One Out of Every Six Positions to Negroes For Support. (By J. M. Batchman, Staff Corres- ponent.) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 27—Wednesday of last week there was a meeting between the Democratic Party and St. Louis Colored Democratic Club and about fifteen of the most prominent members of the party, in discussion of problems affecting the welfare of the Negro and the reasons underlying his firm affiliation to the Democratic Party. The men who have the shaping of the destinies of the Democratic Party in hand, Horace Rumsey, millionaire sportman, Thos. J. Leonard, chairman of the Democrat Rumsey, millionaire sportman, Thos. J. Leonard, chairman of the Democrat Rumsey, millionaire sportman, Judge Lawrence McDaniel and others. The meeting was held at 3133 Pine street where the colored Democrats discussion brought out the fact that there are at present 13,000 persons holding city positions, outside of the police department, which is under control, and that the people have been given their just share of the patronage. The white men who were present warmed up to the occasion and the people were given a revival where converts are sought. The result of this meeting may mean much to the colored people of this city and to the people of the city in power. It is a fact that the Republican have not done their full duty by the colored people of the city, not only the matter of patronage, but in other ways. Mr. Leonard, in the course of his remarks, which were approved by the Democrats, stated his firm statement that if the Democrats secured the control of the state and city governments, they would give the colony's institutions in the gift of the party; he claimed this would be not only good for the state and city governments, but as under present conditions the Democrats had nothing to give any one. He said he was perfectly willing to hold the party accountable for the feeling among the most of the colored people toward the party was, that Democrats were their natural enemies. He said that the widest publicity and there is no doubt but that good will come of it as there has been a disposition on the part of the Democrats to give as little as possible for the support of the colored man's vote. The Democrats seemed to be convinced that Mr. Leonard would usually campaign bait for votes, but that the men he associated with, politically, would firmly back up every word he said. Prof. F.

To the Editor of The Star: diana here a short time ago by one Henry Lincoln Johnson, a hireling from New York, who by all who know him best as an honest, upright citizen and a worthy public servant. His private life and his public life are the same, and pure and true is this man's life that no honest man, be he Republican of the bittersweet personal preference, has dared to assail the private life or the public life. It remained for a hireling, a man who knows nothing about the private life of the bittersweet personal preference and who willfully, intentionally and deliberately misrepresented his public acts. But what else could be expected from a hireling who is reported and, of course, it was expected of him that he give out something rare. Helping Elect Smith. Norror Deceived. He Says. Wants Explanation. I wish the gentleman from Georgia, his employers or some of his reasonless disciples would explain why now should we need, if they did not forsake us, at least sadly neglected us, and try to defeat a man who be forced to need, if they did not forsake us, four-squares for the rights of the citizen of whatever color he may be. This man who ignores party ties when the rights of party ties are violated, suffrage of his constituents regardless of party or race. I wish to warn my people that the right to exercise the right of party ties is determined by loud-mouthed declaration or by the holding of indignation meetings, but by the use that we make of our citizenship by our ballots. The man. The best and only idea of citizenship is their bind devotion to the traditions of a party whether those traditions be true principles upon which the party may stand are sound or unsound, is a dangerous element in the body politic, and stands for the rights of man, even as against the policy of men and parties, however dear either may be to him. Thousands of citizens of color are going to cast their ballots for him this fall. The noblest Roman of them all. MR. TAGGART AS THE CHAMPION OF RIGHTS FOR THE NEGRO.

Such signatures are only dropped in a piece of paper—he sold his signatures and not his honest convictions. Such signatures are almost any time, for the United States a voting country.

(By a Freeman Staff Correspondent.) By n Freeman Staff Correspondent. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 27—The Missouri Negro Republican Club, the largest organization in the West, working for the election of the G. O. P. ticket, is in the midst of a campaign parallel to political efforts for enthusiasm. This club is the result of efforts put forth by prominent race organizers of the state last summer and it is among the pioneers in the endorsement of Judge Lamb of Sedalia for the Republican nomination. Judge Lamb's success was largely due to the activity of the work of the Missouri Negro Republican Club, and what they lacked in votes was more than the difference in votes had in a moral way on the white vote, especially that part of it which loves a winner, which felt that the way the man goes in the primary is usually what votes decree after the counting is done. The Missouri Negro Republican Club will give its biggest rally of the campaign in the state on Friday, the Pythian Temple on Pine street. Next door to where this meeting is to be held is the stronghold of the St. Louis University campus, the street the political center for St. Louis and Missouri. At this meeting, which will be preceded by a torch light protest, the president, E. A. Malone, Pore College, will preside. Hon. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Grand Master of the Adamsans and will be the principal orator. Mr. Crews is also the editor and owner of the Negro journal in the state. He is well known far and wide as one of the foremost speakers of the race, is logical, and will include Dr. C. H. Phillips, the son of Bishop Phillips, and he is doubtless as well if not more favorably educated, will be a young man in this section for his activity and effectiveness as a political leader, is making an enviable reputation in the local field in his profession and is consulted in all larger matters affecting the state, will be a member of the public for Government in opposition to Col. Fred D. Gardner and Hon. Walter Dickey of Kansas City, will deliver addresses. Dr. Chas. H. Phillips is president of the Missouri Negro Republican Club and the gen. H. Bradley Smith chairman of the local precinct organization which is active in making the meeting a howling success. These men are empowered by leaders in prize its work for its opinions in behalf of the race as second to no other New Yorker.

In the tilt between the colored ad visory committee to the National Republican Committee and "The Bee" of Washington, D. C., The Freeman finds something of its value, a thing that is not always conceded. War hath her victories no less renown than peace. In reference to Senator Thomas Taggart's candidacy it might be said that this is no time to win friends. We are charitable enough to think that that could be the only thing said against him. It may not be the time to make friends according to the thinking of some, but it is no less time to turn a friend from us. We think that any time is the right time to win a friend. We cannot conceive of a special time to win a friend or to hold one to us. Mr. Taggart has always been friendly to the colored people. We do not wish him to think that the individual is of no value with us. We wish him and all men to understand that the only term of the compact of friendship is agreement that he is theoretically for the enjoyment of every common privilege by every citizen and practically for such enjoyment as is consistent with the times in which we live. Senator Taggart is not of color and no one of his race has more to offer. He should be cheerfully enrolled as Republicans and individuals of other parties are enrolled. VOTING SCHOOLS. It will be remembered that the Negroes of Memphis, Tenn., have a ticket of their own, but headed by Hughes and Fairbanks. This unusual fact is causing quite a stir in that community. The Commercial Appeal, in speaking of the situation recently, had this: The Negroes have shown an unequaled interest in politics since Auction Day. The Church's Park on Beale avenue. From there have sprout out tentacles of a Negro voting machine that extends throughout the Tenth congressional and probably through West Tennessee. Bob Church and several other wealthier people have been sent out from Memphis and found a funda or getting money from national Republican headquarters. Speakers have been sent out from Memphis and have been asked a registration certificate and a poll tax receipt was allowed to enter Church's Park, others were barred. Organized and now exist in nearly every ward in the city. Both Negro men and women are busy schooling the Negroes. The church used as assembling places and instruction cards and duplicates of the ballots that will be used in November are Negro women, as a rule, are brighter than men, through their association with white people as house servants. Negro women are often judicious as instructors in the voting schools and are required to report to central committees that have headquarters at Cincinnati. In the work they were paid for their services. In some cases white men are acting as instructors, but these seem to fear detection and put their work in a secretive manner. There is much to be thought of in the little that is said by that publication. One gets an interesting review of what is going on and also some side gifmpses. It is further said by the Commercial Appeal that: White Republicans have both factions state that the Negroes have broken entirely away from their organization. They say the Negroes got out their professional routines of their own initiative. The reason for this is said to be because of whether the Negro vote or the white Republican vote is strongest. The Negroes say they want their share of the vote, but they are denied by the whites, but which they will get if their ticket poll more votes than the white Republican in the complete count in the city in the recent supplemental registration that the Negroes registered against 2,115 Negroes, giving whites a scant lead of 76. In the county the Negroes have a lead of five to one in the vote. This is claimed that a complete count from the districts will show the Negroes one. This is accounted for by Democratic headquarters on the ground that practically all white voters registered in the county election of August. The white registration for the Augu- ber Negro registration around 2,000. Indications are that the registration in the November election will show that about 2,000 white voters. Those figures are merely approximate. SEEING THINGS CLOSE UP. Our race publications are divided in their opinions as to which is best for the Negroes of the South, having in mind the present movement northward. The Crisis as usual is extremely radical, saying: "We might as well face the facts squarely in the South who wishes to have his children educated and who wishes to be in close touch with civilization in the South who wishes to have a chance or making a living in North, it is his business to get out of the South as soon as possible." This advice is tendered without any modifications, when the most thoughtless of the Colored people know that it is not so easy as that. The Southern people and they would have the wrong people who would be very foolish to say where they are and endure everlasting abuse and industrial hardships. If there were such a haven it long since would have been known. It is agreed that the North offers some superior advantages, nor must it be denied that the South has advantages. The trouble with the writers on the Crisis and others who see as it does, is that they are unwilling to go close up to the situation in their observations. They gather surface facts, part for the whole, holding them as indicative of the true situations. In other words, they deal with the sums of the good and evil of the two sections, and because in the total the advantage is with the North they at once throw their force in that direction. There are other things to consider beyond the net gain of advantage. Really, the advantage with the North is slight, if at all. Account must be taken of those satisfied millions of the South who have not uttered a word of protest further than which we of the North have uttered. They are restricted somewhat in civil relations just as we are. It will be admitted that the heavier hand in a way hangs over the South, but it has to do with things that do not obstruct their material progress, and as to the spiritual they suffer only in a greater degree than we of the North—neither of us are free, and it is useless to hug that delusion to ourselves. It may be a thing of shame to admit that wherever the Colored people are found in large numbers there is the overshadowing hand of the things complained of in the South. In the North they are Colored boy and girl know if they live in such localities. Observing leading Negroes of the South have been North. They have come, seen and gone home conquered of the thought that the North had something to offer them that they did not get in their own section. The North is alluring in the same sense that the city is attractive to the country boy—a holiday of a place where he can have a good time. He's freed of the restraint of the farm's dull routine. And many of these make good, but many more discover that it is the moth and flame again when it is too late. There could be no reasonable objection to Negro laborers leaving the South incidentally, but to invite them to come North wholesale does them incalculable wrong. Their schools are not all that they should be, especially rural schools. But this truth should not be overlooked, that school offers the need of school facilities. The lack of schools is not an issue in this country, nor will it ever be. This condition, it will be admitted, has not come altogether by public funds. Nevertheless, the purses of the white people have had much to do in making education general. The superior advantages of the North by way of schools is all right for the very limited number taking advantage of them. We mean the higher schools. Those finishing such schools stand a fair chance of being absorbed in the great world of affairs. If these schools dealt with the possible output of the South and with unchanged industrial conditions it can readily be seen that our education would be no less than a curse, making for keen wits whose means of existence would be merely wilt with the experience of demonstration practice. This is no dream. We have a touch of that very thing. The higher educated classes will, as the rule, not be found in the "ditches." What then, if there's no corresponding opening? These are some of the propositions and truths that the Northern writers are unwilling to see. They think of idealism, perhaps of their own families or friends, wishing to see them in the most hopeful attitude presented in this American republic. They refuse to deal with the situation as it is, consequently their advice is not wholly to be relied on. And after all it seems that the great questions of industrial economics and civics are adjusting themselves, not wholly in an sense so severe. But the tendency is to righten, to make sure they say and do the right things at all times we will be of great assistance in the adjusting, otherwise we are sitting on the wheel. SENATOR THOMAS TAGGART. Owing to some sort of rift in the Negro contingent of eastern political circles it has cropped out that the advisory committee to the Republican National Committee had advised against considering The Freeman as a campaign factor because it had said some complimentary things of Senator Thomas Taggart. This advisory committee is made up of colored men, and who are known, more or less, for their political activities and value. It is not necessary to give their names because the object here is not to arraign them in a special sense, since they are not different to many others who think it dangerous to think of them as a political party, as long as it threatens party advantage. Besides they are Republicans as we are, consequently it would be unpolitical to seriously quarrel during preparation for the grand attack. However, we find it necessary to mention the advisory committee as such, in order to make clear the drift of this story. We quote the Bee of Washington, D. C. a publication of long years standing, fearless and able; it said in part in the issue of October 21: "It has been fully shown that the first act of certain portions of the Constitution was the greatest and leading Republican journal in the United States, because it saw it fit to publish the history of a nation, and to express the views of the Colored race and thank Senator Chilton of West Virginia Tar support; and to thank Senator Howard University. If the university had been without friends in the last Democratic Congress, Howard University would have been more supportive to the Colored people. Some Colored men are like some Democrats—never try to make an unnecessary effort or to the detriment of the nation." It will be understood that The Bee had in mind Senator Taggart of whom we had spoken in a complimentary way because of his splendid attitude concerning the enlistment of Negroes in the United States army and navy. That publication shows the inconsistency of the backhanded blow at Mr. Taggart when this same committee or, perhaps, other men of equal importance, thanked Senator Chilton, Democrat, for what he did. Of course, the inference with what he did is that Mr. Taggart was merely playing politics, and therefore what he did didn't count. That kind of reasoning is quite unfair to the Senator from West Virginia. Weighing the services of the two senators it ought to appear that he who stands for my civil advancement has done as much if not more than one that stands for my material advancement. Our education and refinement would be as a mill stone about our necks if the soul yet struggled in the bonds of civil degradation. Haiti had such a citizenship, as well as slavery and free white people; a citizenship of emasculation—neither freedom or slavery, and worse than slavery because a mockery, until Toussant L'Overture the slave, came, and made freedmen free indeed. Speaking again of seeking support of the "enemy" The Bee said: "Long before the present administration came into power, every Republican Colored office holder with but a white and Colored Democratic influence and indorsements to have themselves retained. Why, then, should the Republican Colored office holder have been and are friendly to Colored race? In another column of the Bee our able contemporary. The Institute complimenting Senator Thomas Taggart in the journals of the United States, edited by Colored men, published an editorial complimenting Senator Thomas Taggart in the beneficial advisory committee see it, and if it did see the editorial is such an editorial evidence of The Free-Party? The Colored Republicans of Indiana know Senator Taggart to be one of their best friends, and it is unfortunate that he is allied with a party Colored Americans. When the Bee says party it doesn't want it understood that every Democrat in the parish of Colored Americans. There are dozens of white Democrats who have been indorseed by Colored Republicans and Colored Americans indorseed by Democrats." The immediate foregoing furnishes texts for several lengthy sermons. They, of course, will not be preached for fear of the possible danger. We, however, cannot see why a good word may not be said in praise of a good deed at anytime. What the race needs is race loyalty, and loyalty to whatever manner of man that contributes to our salvation. We have agreed all along that the Republican party is responsible for the Negro's present civil advancement, at least, in the greater part. Our allegiance to that party is proof that the thing it has done is thoroughly known and appreciated. This publication is asking that the Negroes do different to what they have done until those appear who stand equally as well for them. Now and then other men do appear, men of other parties who concede as much as other men concede, as much as Republicans concede. We need additional friends, and should welcome them when they appear. We are standing still in matters of great concern, not even standing still, but slipping backwards in some respects owing to the odds against us. Segregation and anti-Negro suggestion in the Congress of the United States means slipping backwards. Any support from the Democratic ranks lessens the opposition. We need not expect an appreciable advance, civily, until Democrat thinks just like Republicans. The Bee reproduced this editorial from the Freeman. "Senator Taggart, we take pleasure in saying, has kept the faith. We have always been a strong advocate of the Negroes from his youth up. It is agreed that he is a shrewd politician, but his success did not come easily. He is a man of far-sightedness; having an end in view; taking a long chance. But somehow we think that was not the case. He could, under no circumstances, get rid of his generous spirit; they were as one. So it can readily be inferred that he only wished the special gift—all things else being added to him; the only witchcraft he knew was yond this, he was everlastingly true to his friends. He rode with them to victory and with the same unaltered material sense he has prospered, and through it all he has been as friend and brother to the Colored people, ever more positive as he could consistently put them. We have in mind his spiritual touch, winning many by his unbiased Of course, at this time it will be said that the Indiana Senator is playing a role in the election, it gets its race beyond the touch of infamous orders it will not matter by what name his activities be called, but it gets its race beyond the touch of sit quietly and hear to measures that are so fraught with danger to the state without a voice of entire country without a voice of entire country fore the voters of Indiana for election to his present position. His political position is that of a party of which he is a member. We could not do otherwise than present him as he is; for if we did we would not be prepared for him than he has shown for us. We also reproduce the editorial because it is very much to the point. The position we took, we think, is massallable; not that we are infallible, but there are some propositions which to assail are scarcely less than sacrilegious. It was a righteous duty to submit Mr. Tagart's activities to the Negroes—to the country, regardless of the construction of his views. It goes without saying that we are pleased at the high compliment paid this publication, and that that publication, The Bee, has the nerve to speak up for an individual who has put himself on record as favorable to the aspiration of and hopes of lowly men as well as others. The Freeman being not ignorant of its own value, therefore, we are prayerfully careful that it does not make an effort to minimize the services of any man in whatsoever direction. It is for Republicans and all other men who stand for the greatest possible liberty of Negroes and mankind generally consistent with the circumstances of the times in which we live.

JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT FRANK MONTGOMERY'S COMPANY OF MUSICAL COMEDY PLAYERS TO OPEN IN BALTIMORE NEXT MONDAY. FRANK MONTGOMERY'S COMPANY OF MUSICAL COMEDY PLAYERS TO OPEN IN BALTIMORE NEXT MONDAY. Frank Montgomery, one of America's best known Colored comedians, has organized a large company of players, which will specialize in the production of musical comedies. As in every other act or show which Mr. Montgomery has ever been identified with, this one is replete with beautiful women, the kind of beauty that don't rub off. The make-up of this show also includes male members who are themselves in a way the beau brunnel variety when they hit the streets. This selection of singers and dancers are going to open with its first show next week, beginning Monday, October 30, at the Colonial Theater, in Baltimore, Md. LEIGH WHIPPER ACCUSED BY IRVIN C. MILLER OF PLAGIARISM. Comes Back With a Hot Denial and Counter Accusation, States That Irvin Miller Has Stolen Plays From Several Playwrights and Says That "Legal Action Stuff" He Talks About Starting is a Bluff in the Making. Dares Him to Make Even a Move in That Direction. Dear Sir—In your New York Notes to the Freeman, a letter to you from Mr. C. Miller. I accuse me of stealing his play, "Jake's Family," and producing it under the name of "This Way Out." Well, Mr. Miller is very much mistaken as "This Way Out" has never been produced as claimed by him and furthermore but two people other than myself even know what the story of the play is. Now the title "Jake's Family" belongs to Irvin C. Miller as far as I know, and the week of October 9 I put on a sketch without a title that Mr. Miller claims to be his "original play," but when the truth is known it is what he stole from the play of A. P. Thomas, which was played with great success throughout the country a few years ago, under the title of "Society" (Today); The Vampire's Fool (A Fool There Was), and in Colon (The Red Mill). It is possible that when Mr. Lewis reviewed Mr. Miller's play he was not familiar with the Thomas play, "Society," or he would have readily recognized every situation. Mr. Wells saw the play here and in his article said it was an adaptation from "Society" and not "This Way Out" as was expected. To use that play no one needs the permission of Mr. Miller and I know that "legal action" stuff is a bluff. He would no more bring an action in this particular case than he would fly, as the Authors' Protective Association would be on him like a hawk for his nerve to lay claim to that action. Now I acknowledge having put on the sketch, but deny emphatically that it is "This Way Out," or that it is an original play of Mr. Miller's and I date Miller to start his legal action. "This Way Out" is a revue with two acts and twelve scenes and Mr. Miller has nothing whatever to do with it before it is offered to the public by the owners, the Keystone Amusement Co. It is my intention to play the Standard Theater with a company of ten people, offering "The Boob," an adaptation from the play, "Her Meal Ticket." I would like to know if it is going to be necessary for me to have Mr. Miller's permission to NEXT WEEK'S GREAT PRODUCTION AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER WILL BE "THE CITY" BY A STRONG CAST OF COLORED PLAYERS. No one, unless he has read the book or seen the play, can imagine the magnificent strength with which the dramatist thunders out the tragic transition of the "Rande" from their quiet, peaceful home in Middleburg, N. Y., to the masthead of social and political life in Manhattan. There is more dramatic strength in any one of the "The City's" many scenes than can be found in many plays in entirety. It is action from the start to the finish, with constant acceleration and forceful climaxes as the plot unfolds. No words are wasted. There is not a single meaningless speech in the play. There are no impossible characters, and in a word it is all worth and no trash, a notable achievement in American dramatic work and an enduring monument to the name of its author. Clyde Fitch discovers his people, "George Rand," a country banker and his family, in Middleburg, where they are prosperous and happy until the banker's son, George Rand, Jr., develops a soaring ambition to exerlis. They bring every argument to bear upon the old banker, who tells them he would rather be a big man in a small town than a small one in a large city. He has the better of the argument and things would have gone along in the same channels but for the discovery of a skeleton in the old man's past. An unacknowledged son of redpick Hancock, a morphine fiend, who discovered a financial rogue tries to blackmail him, and in a strong scene obtains money from him. The old man then tells his legitimate son of his past life, and then exacts a promise from young George not to go to the city until his father's death. George promises and the elder Rand, broken-hearted at the unveiling of his past, dies, leaving his family free to go to the city. Young George, feeling that the family owes something to Hancock, takes him along as private secretary. In New York between political aspirations on the part of young George and domestic scandals on the part of the daughters, ruin quickly enguils the family. George has followed the financial methods of his father, and Hancock, as private secretary, thus obtains a grip on him. George tries to land the nomination for governor, but his record, besmirched, will not stand the searchlight of publicity. The elder sister becomes involved in a divorce scandal, and the most crushing blow comes with the revelation that Cicely, the younger sister, has secretly married Hancock, not knowing the tie of blood between them. Here comes the greatest scene of the play, and the audience is spellbound as the plot is unraveled. George confronts Hancock and tells him he has married his own sister. Hancock shoots her to prevent her ever knowing the awful truth. Rand wrests the pistol from him as he attempts suicide, and Hancock begs for the weapon which Rand throws out of the window. Hancock explains his crime in the electric chair and Rand begins life anew with Eleanor Vorhees, a sweet-natured and lovable girl, whose love he wins and who links her life with his. "THE MAN OF THE HOUR" KEEPS STANDING ROOM ONLY SIGN UP AT THE LAFAYETTE PLAYHOUSE. Large crowds of people flocked to the Lafayette Theater all week to witness the great play of "love and politics" from the masterful pen of playwright George Broadhurst, in which one of the Quality Amusement Company's strongest aggregation of players are appearing. There are fifteen people in the cast, four acts and four scenes. MLLE. MANHATTAN AT THE NEW LINCOLN THEATER. The Lincoln Theater offers a combination bill this week that seems to be just what Harlemites have been waiting for and the result was crowded houses, both afternoons and evenings. To the amusement seeker who was looking for variety, the program surely measured up to his most extravagant expectations, for there was a great line of photoplays, six really superior vaudeville numbers, and the popular Lincoln Comedians, who put over a dashing bit of farce comedy that fairly bristled with laughter of the hilarious kind. C. Creighton Thompson made a frisky college boy, and acted his role to perfection, playing opposite Miss Hilda Offley, who in private life is his wife. They are a delightful pair on and off—but this article has to do with their appearance in "Mile, Manhattan" and the general impression created was that their theatrical look seems extremely bright. The title role of the above mentioned farce provides Hilda with the first important part she has been called upon to play at Lincoln, and she is a charming and clever actress, with a sprightly and clever, and her work stamped her as a charming and versatile actress and with a temperament that is always evident when she is on the stage. Her voice, too, is most pleasing and shows unmistakable evidence of good training. Billy De Mont, in cork, acted the role of a waiter, and did it as he always does—most acceptably. The comedy end of the skit fell to James Burris, and to the audience who have followed burglesque and are acquainted with the popular Jew type of comedian that always puts the laughs over, got him from the start and ate up his funnyisms with a relish. Many are now of the opinion that Jim has it on many of the Jew comics who are playing the big circuita. His makeup was fine, and we assume that James must have spent some time over and above the regular rehearsals in some of the local delicatessen stores studying the Hebrew proprietor. The vaudeville portion of the program was far and above anything in the local playhouse, and the prediction is that if the brand of variety is kept up to the "standard set this week the popular Lincoln Theater will have no cause to think that this is presidential year, which is proverbially a bad one for theaters. Another feature of the Lincoln Theater is that it is set on Saturday, October 28, "The Crimson Stain Mystery" will be shown. It is a continued story, running for fifteen weeks. Episodes will appear each Saturday until the end. This great masterpiece has created a tremendous sensation in the picture world, and is running at the best剧院 in New York. And while interest is high in the serial pictures the management has also booked "The Shielding Shadow," the first chapter of which will be show on Wednesday, November 1.

Marie Young, you are irresistible in ingenuine and society lead characters; but really, we do not like you in sad parts, like mother and the like. Yes, Miss Inez Clough, you met the crucible test of crucible lines with a realistic and masterful emotion in last week's production of "The Lure." "Faith, Hope and Charity," Lucy Laney eLague will hold its seventh annual Halloween masquerade and civic party on Tuesday evening, Oct. 31. Professor Charles H. Anderson, the proprietor of the Temple of Mirth and Pleasure, is doing his usual run of big business on his Wednesday and Saturday evening dancing sessions. & Rory McCormack, ever pair who sojourned at the Lyric Theater in Newark, N.

Will Madden's Incorporators, the far-famed basketball aggregation, are in training for their opening game of the season to be held at Manhattan Casino on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday afternoon, November 30.

Rosamond Johnson, of the Music School Settlement, will hold indoor tennis games with dancing afterwards at Manhattan Casino on Friday evening, November 3. The affair is being given to aid raising a fund for the school's building extension. Correction—In last week's notes we by mistake used the name of Mattle Edwards, as being the coloratura soprano who is nightly delighting the large crowd of dins-out at Hayney' fine dining rooms. It is not Mattle Edwards who is at Hayney', but it is Mattle Harris. A letter from the president of the Frederick Douglas Film Company has been received, stating that—well, here is a quotation of his exact words: "In reply to your recent letter relative to the Frederick Douglas Film Company's advertisement in The Freeman, I wish to say that we have received splendid results through that medium and are perfectly satisfied with our investment along that line." JAMES REESE EUROPE'S BAND OF TEN MEN GETS BIG OVATION FROM SUNDAY AUDIENCES AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER James Reese Europe and his cabaret band of ten selected musicians and singers appeared at the Lafayette Theater last Sunday and from the manner in which the house was packed, it looked very much as if half of the entire Colored population of this great city had turned out to give them a welcome. Mr. Europe and his band supplied to an expectant audience all of the good things in singing, music and dancing that have made Europe's entertainers celebrated in the homes and hostilities of America's richest people. When one considers, too, that each one of the ten musicians who appeared before him writes lyrics and composes music, as well as sing in unusually beautiful voice and plays upon orchestral instruments with a perfection that indicates the master hand, then and only then can you gain a true versio of how great this entertainment really was.

There was a generous audience present to greet Cook & Stevens on their return to the Grand last Monday evening, and certainly filled in spite of the drizzle rain which counted all comers. It was a great day, and the other fellow, with the sweet robust baritone voice, who in their dialogue gave excruciating humour to the chink, and one we all like to see. Stevens took a big encore on his ballad solo, and their closing duet, "The White Woman," in "A Temperance Woman," assisted by a good actor, both in duel youth and engageable roles. Stevens had two trained English terror which did stunts and Mr. Eaton is a clever trick rooer, and days when skating was all the rage.

He is of pleasing personality, having a good sense of humor and a kind demeanor. done. His "My Place of Business" showed him as having that very entertaining Bert Williams touch. He is a charming and distinguished comedian very much. His monologue, "Circumstantial Evidence," and his "Brown Skin Gal" were well received. A finished performer, is the impression Billy: Higging. It is difficult to speak of good, better, or more different views of persons concerning them. Higgins, according to my opinion, has appeared at this house this season, and one of the best in the business. Others have done, and just as much, but not for the same reasons all of the time. Higgins is anybody's comedian and entertainer. Sam Cross. Cross is a good all-round performer, capable of doing high-class comedy and good work, and is up well in the parts. He also has a good singing voice and expression. Genevieve Stearn. Miss Stearn is very well adapted to the role she plays in the company—light, high-class comedy. In the cafe scene she was equal to those who do John H. WICKLIFFE'S GINGER ORCHESTRA. Styled America's Greatest Jaz Combination, Now at the Regent Theater, Indianapolis. The John H. Wickliffe's Ginger Orchestra Combination is filling a four weeks engagement. They have appeared in the orchestra of Colored players that has appeared at that house. They have been a scream since the beginning of their engagement weeks ago. John H. Wickliffe. Mr. Wickliffe is the founder and general manager of the organization. He is also an alum drummer. In fact, he is an all-round expert in his corner—a master Darnell Howard. This young man is a little wonder, a very wizard of the bow. He is born with a special gift that allows qualities of expression and tone of the great orchestra leaders and bandmasters. He is not more than seventeen years old. It is a positive joy to see him play. Boy A. Wolfscale Mr. Wolfscale, corpestist, is well pushed up his time, in with his father's pulse. CINCINNATI (O.) SHOW TALK Good enough to please any one. He is not like String Beans, like it is heraled, but much more like it is show work. He created and guided 'The Chicken Trust' and commanded a larger salary. 'Jean,' his wife, works good. **George Lewis.** The worst single ever dared face a Chicken Trust through the mercy of Mrs. Ollie Dempsey he was not canceled. He is really happy, but Charles Turpin ought to he glad he disappointed him a few years ago. Bradford and White. Just a good little act that can sing and dance and pull a domestic farce, doesn't give the two really shake people room to show their ability. White is good at fraternity and dandy, but dandy little comedienne. They both can sing and they are good, but how much better they two show, and bids fair to be all the week. Blaine and Brown Will be declared by any one who knows the best act in perfection of character work in the business. Its work shows study their bread and talent combined in one effort to go higher. They were received and appreciated more than any other act. The bill by a number of friends this theater has won in striving to secure such acts. Thomas Melton. The joke musician. He is gradually advancing in his tramp act. It is such similar work on the best stages. She is a good dresser and looks good. **Maxie McCree.** Maxie McCree was formerly with the Whitman Sisters. He is known for his clever dancing. Otherwise, he is a splendid little fellow, fitting in well with the dress. He is talking part was that of a performer. Bertha Sanders. This little lady is one of what may be called the most beautiful ladies, are two of these little ladies, who add to the attractiveness of the singing, winning ways and really Pauline Hubbard. Little Miss Hubbard is the other one of her pair. She is rare, rare appearing. She exhibits a bit of naughtiness when she vends her kisses—but nice, as the male portion of the pair is. She sings a Miss Sanders sang a captivated song, for which she was recalled. Her voice is so sweet, she shines in her work. She is succeeding. "I Ain't Got Nobody" was her song. Opening chorus was harmonious and spirited. Appearance good. Girls were dressed in appropriate McCree stunt was a feature of the show, also the cafe scene, where near-empty ginis comedy here was just right, not overdone, as it often is. This means no reflection on other comedians other than McCree, and when to stop. Of course, some of the audience will like fun as long as it resembles Jake Fiddler's impersonation of laughing on one side of his face and crying on the other, and dumb, the dice and the sausage stunt; they were not new, but they were never better done. The comedy was a finer comedy of the kind. The drunks by Cross and Higgins were good. The team work of Higgins and Stearn was a winner. The company closed with its own version of "Walking the Dog," which is being done everywhere. GINGER ORCHESTRA bunch of the Ringing Bros.' Shows. His father is head of the music of the anms J. Ed Greene. Mr. Greene is of splendid personal charm. He is the strangest of instruments, the trombone, that does so much execution and such little direction as to how to do it. B. J. Scott Mr. Scott deals in that soft-voiced instrument, and sees the clarinet as the most competent part of soft impachment—the very Pipes of the river. He knows what to do with it. Anthony Spaulding. Mr. Spauling presides over the instrument that is wholly an orchestra, or a lesser part, if one so chooses. He is skilled playing. Lockewood Lewis. Mr. Lewis is the entertainer or the interlocutor. Miss Rena James. Miss James is well known to the profession, having appeared at the Twin Towers theater a few seasons ago. Entertainer is the part assigned her and which she is well qualified to nil. The orchestra is the leader of dance music. Just can't keep still when the Jazz combination plays. It will appear at the Washington theater Saturday evening. a novelty that the audience simply waits patiently to get a chance to laugh at him, and when he makes up his mind to do his stunt they roar, for Cleo Mitchell. Assisted by the Marshall Sisters, was positively good. She is one of our most beloved members, made good, and played time. It is very considerate of her to make a sacrifice and take two of her friends. W. M. Stovall, comedian of James and Stovall, received a slight injury while making a heroic effort to stop a run. He received a substantial reward. Frank Delyons says regards to Buddle Austin and all friends at $1, Atlanta, Ga. Dad James says hello to Jimmie Caddis says write Star Theater, Pittsburgh. Mrs. Ella Goodloe sends regards to Ora Criswell; thanks her for the team she sent to her and wishes her better health.

The report in last week's issue that a certain performer had stolen another's before making any assertion. Others you are right, then go ahead, is a very worthy saying.

NOTES FROM WOLFSCALE'S BAND WITH BANKS AND BAILEY This writing finds Wolfscale's Band and Company in their last week, in the state of Texas with the Greatest Show on the Planet, playing at turnover business at most every stand. "Where do you go from here?" is the password around a few more days out. All members are enjoying the best of health, and are sorry to leave the state of Texas as we were leaving. We have many large cities. While in Galveston Mr. Slim Mason, Sam Good, Al. Franklin, William Bass, and Tim Kearney were the guests of Mr. Sam King, manager of the Galveston Black Pirate's Baseball team. All had a great experience and teamwork. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ed. Lee and his Creole Helle's Company. They put on a special event. Among members of their company was The Two Sweets, Lew Kenner & Wilson and Sam King. Mr. Joe Sudder and Jim Helle were the guests. Mr. Dawn Johnson, and had a fine time until train time. They send their best regards to him. M. O. Russell had the best time playing at Galveston before the season closes. Prof. Wolfscale sends regards to Profs. James Harris, John (Pop) Adams, L. K. Baker and playing all have had a successful season. (By Pearl Moppin.) We played the Orpheum theater at Detroit, Mich., week of Oct. 15. On the first day of the festival, we featured a weight champion; a real man and a prince, both on and off the stage; also the comic opera star and so very sociable. Such high salaried actors and actresses as these are whom the Knights come in contact with and are conversant with on a daily basis are of high-class vaudeville. When the smaller actors and actresses as these whose salary runs up to four figures per week and loaded with diamonds and intellect, with the Knights, then they all "come in," for the water is fine. Result, a big, good cheerful and happy week. Many performers and musicians who are doing nicely and conducting places of business. Howard Bell, Duck Collins, E. R. Dudley, who has the colored theater, Charlie Taylor and many others, will find there such popular composers and arrangers as Mr. C. L. Cook, Afl. Kelley, Kincaid and a host of the Detroit don't fail to pay this association a call; also the Musicians and Performers who nice places and enjoy themselves very well. We go into Canada for a short time, then we head to City. The news records reach to all. NOTES FROM THE J. C. ROCK- WELL SUNNY SOUTH CO. We are still in the state of Pennsylvania doing fine business nightly. The team entitled the "Wrong Johnson," are as follow: Neel Morse, playing the title role, the "Wrong Lassosse," the Chevy Thornton, as Ricketts, the principal comedian for the show; Chas Bougia, as manager; Walter A. Broussard as the Rt. Rev Hiram Pottie Johnson; H. S. Wooten, as the butler; Clark Goodley, as the attendant; Sam Sheriff and W. Wonderloose; H. S. Wooten, as Pete; Julia Dixon, as the Widow Toodstool who sings "I Want to Live Why can't Steven and Clark Goodley come in the hotel at a civilized hour when they can escape to get in through the window. Say, follows, what the "Big Ida?" The company will be in Atlanta on Monday, or early in November, Barnesboro, Oct. 30. Johnny Hudgins and Helen Bumbray With the Mimi Corla Girls, n Big Hit. They are now working through the Western time. Hudgins is consider- er. M. Miss Helen Bumbay a three years' contract with this company at a comfortable salary. The management sees what a value this act adds to their specialty in doing their specialty in the oil, but they are seen through the show. Hudgins is a clever comedian and never goes too far with his comedy. He is a comedian who is smart, he is always given a hearty reception. CHAPELBROOK Johny Hudgins Miss Bumbray is one clever worker and her costumes are all new and very classy. When she sings "Dixie and enchanted dog," the Dog stunt is a screen and when Hudgins makes his entrance with his Charlie Chaplin stunt, he keeps the house in an unroar and is force to dance and deserve the credit given them. They are well thought of by the management and the managers don't fall into them as they are box office attractions. They are in Philadelphia next week. NOTES FROM EUGENE CLARK'S BAND AND MINTRESTS. We are still in the sunny south in the state of South Carolina, doing good business turning them away nightly, as old John Robinson, show is a drawing card in the south in the state of South Carolina. We had the pleasure O'Briens Georgia Minstrel at Hartsville, S.C. and at Bennettville, S.C. Prof. George Ayers is the band master and has a nice band and orchestra and is surrounded with good talent. All of the bunch is well pleased, only are longing for the band to play Home, Sweet Home. Grant Smith says hello. Alex. Calmere. and McKinley wonders Alex. he did not think that Clark sends his regards to all of his friends in and out of the profession. WHAT THE INDIANA TIMES HAD TO SAY ABOUT LULU COATES. During the twelve years she has been on the stage as a dancer Lulu Coates always has been scoring a big hit at the Lyric with her "crackerjacks," estimates she has danced a sufficient mileage to stretch her legs. Coates always has been associated with dancing acts. She made her stage "Watermelon Trust," a colored singing and dancing act considered by many to be the greatest ever staged. The Coates are acrobatic dancers of remarkable ability. The act is "stopping the show" at the Lyric at each performance—Indiana Dally Times. NOTES FROM NEW ORLEANS, LA. Mr. Alvin C. Robertson, trombonist, late of Tolliver's Smart Set, also Kit Lewis, now at local cabarets, where he is meeting up with much success. He is meeting up with a bouncing baby girl on September 26.

Mr. Robertson has received many congratulations and sends regards to Prof. Walter Childs, of "Florida Blossoms," and also "Tolliver's Smart Set" something for you when you get here. NOTES FROM THE GEORGIA SMART SET. (By John Jackson.) We have been completely lost to the profession so we to speak, owing to the fact that we were in the vicinity of the Lone Star state, and we also progressing so slow with our future plans until we made a sudden change in our business that which has us use into the Lone Star state. The formation of the Lone Star state. We have been doing an S. R. O. business. While playing football, we met a doctor of meeting Dr. S. L. Chandler, physician and surgeon, we motored out 1 to the oriental bath house, there we met C. R. Thomas, the proprietor of the hotel house. We say that here certainly is a some class, but these gentlemen. They made it as pleasant as could be for the bunch. Performers who are thinking of going to Marlin their health will advise you to see them. Mr. James Buber White our stage manager and producer has one of the ways that's a laugh from start to finish. The new arrivals on the show are the new members of the Star Theatre, Dallas, Texas, there was quite a meeting, Barnum & Bailey's theater, and the Jolly Strelts. All had a jolly meeting. The Dallas band prepared a dutch lunch for the entire bunch and everyone that attended. At times of their life. During our frolic the house was called down to order by Mr. John Butler, who informed the band that Elwood Johnson, who was lying at the point of death in the town of Brenham, Texas. We made up a nice little sum of money for Mr. Butler. Hope he is better at this writing. Our capable and efficient manager, Mr. John Butler, is making this one of the best shows on the road. I like to hear from a good novelty act that can double brains. I'll be out all winter. If you are looking for nice accommodations and excellent treatment this is where you get it. Mark Carter, we all hope that you are getting better. We are looking for friends in and out of the profession. Manhattan Players Entertained by Leroy Knox.

With an ideal day for baseball, the A B's G of Indianapolis defeated the American Giants of Chicago by the score of 10-3. For the locals, was in fine form, and both teams fielded brilliantly. The Chicago boys got but three hits on the ball, and the other three were scratch hits. Four singles in the eighth inning, three of which came in succession, gave the game to the Chicago team, caught off fly by a quick throw by Wickware. Then J. Taylor singled, and so did B. Taylor and Charleston. He and the baseball, Jeffries his sharp, the Lloyd his hard, and B. Taylor scored the run which proved to be the winning one. The team had services of Watts, who had the little finger on his right hand broken by a foul tip in Lloyd's bat.

Mr. Frank Young, the sporting editor of the Chicago Defender, was in Indianapolis Sunday to witness the incident. He was the guest of "Young Knox." De Moss was the only player able to steal off Petway and Hill was the only successful one to puffer off Powell. It handicapped the A.'s very much by the injury to Powell. Tyree, the little right hand pitcher who started the second game for the Mets, was a world of a lot. He struck out six men in the three innings that he pitched. Four umpires were used in Sunday's bill. This was something new to the fans of Indianapolis. No kicks against the umpires were registered and every play was decided without a hitch. Jack Watt's little finger on his right hand was torn almost completely off his wrist. He will be able will never be able to use the hand again. As far as baseball is concerned. George Brown, the right fielder of the A.'s, quit after Sunday's game for his home in Metropolis, Ill. He was missed from the lineup as Brownie can certainly handle it.

We thank them monthly, and we trust that they will REPUTED TO BE THE WORLD'S RED SHORTSTOP. return in the fall for the training trip in the pink of condition.

HAMIPTON, Va.-Special) - On Saturday afternoon, October 21, the second game of the season featured the Roanoke Athletic Club to the tune of 87 to 0. They showed their usual skill in passing the ball and line plugging. They often passed through the net, and they were on the ground 10 or 15 yards. On the second down of the first quarter, Capt. J. Dorssey hit the line for 65 yards, making the first down. The game was in Hampton's favor from the start to finish. Roanoke had a strong defense, but they were either blocked or intercepted. Capt. H. Hart, of the Roanoke team, was on the stumps, and his punting, too, failed to ride the pigskin as it did when he went up the field. At the beginning of the second half, the second Hampton team went out to get the ball. Many spectators were on hand to see hat style of ball the seaside "machine" had in store for the season.

Kid Edwards, a former Indianapolis boy with a wide popular reputation as a Evansville, Ind. girl, even gave him an unfair deal in the fight, although he won. But the referee would have fouled him. Even when odds were against Kid Edwards, he battled in his well-known and famous way he won over Evansville. He was bruised very badly and on his way to a clean cut knock out when Turner rallied and scored the win for his (Turner's) pour tactics in butting him. This affair caused the police to stop the fight. O. N. Arnett, the prosecution's lawyer, told the fight. Smither Balanger, manager for Kid Edwards, saw to the interest of his man. There is an intention of Mr. Arnett to win, but his part of the money earned at this fight. All Indianapolis boys hope to see him get his rights and at the same time get a "wonder," says beware of Evansville. LEO PATTERSON WINS DECISION OVER KID GARDNER. (By Ed Rogers.) Leo Patterson and Kid Gardner gave a very nice show at the West Baden Baden golf course, which was featured by Patterson. Gardner was only able to break even in the first three rounds, but all his way, his scientific footwork as often applauded. Time and again it seemed that Gardner's constant rain of blows, but the game little fellow kept pegging away and proved his old name as a Young Creamo, "My Boy," who has gone so well among amateur was that he came to Louisville in the preliminary for eight rounds, but only lasted one, when his chin beat a measure of Louisville in the minute and thirty seconds after the bell rang, which put him in Sleepville for twenty minutes. Then he got him, he slipped a haymaker in on me." Amster Beaachem wishes to thank his many Colored friends for the patronage shown in this show, which was the largest ever.
