VOL. XXII. No. 26. SOLDIERS ARE LAUDED In Unofficial Report by Maj. J. B. Durham War Veteran Best Behaved of All Regiments That Have Been Stationed at Madison Barracks, N. Y. has Played an important Part in the Grab Between Soldiers and Some of the People of Sackets Harbor Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Sackets Harbor, N. Y., March 20. Although Col J. L. Chamberlain, Inspector General of the Department of the East, has not complied his official investigation as to the cause of the ill-fated existing between the soldiers of the 28th Infantry and the citizens of Sackets Harbor, the soldiers feel confident that the evidence will show that many charges made against them are true. They are jubilant over the report of Maj J. H Durham, who declares that the evils have been greatly angered, and that race prejudice led to many disturbances. Maj Durham's interesting report is follows. "I came to the 'Military Village' expecting to find it a scene of disturbance, of confusion, turmoil, riot and anarchy, because the newspaper accounts which I had read concerning the troubles between the soldiers and the citizens pointed to that direction—and of course what we read in the papers must be, and it is—sometimes "I supposed that I would very likely, be held up at the station and made to declare 'Under which King Bezonian?' Expected to meet members of a Cavalier Committee on every corner. I departed from what I read to see the women of Sackets Harbor on shopping graft in fancy, cartridge belts filled with 22-caliber cartridges, because the men said that the women of Sackets Harbor had armed themselves with receivers for self-protection against the soldiers of the garrison. "I thought that there might be something in the cartridge belt idea, because a row of highly-polished cartridges would look rather ornamental, and then, so at a small expense, a dozen or so cartridges might be nickel or even silver plated. It is really too bad to have a brilliant imagination wrought up by the daily press to a dizzy height, brought to the earth with such a sudden disenchantment. It always wrenches a fellow to to kick at nothing. I found the old town as quiet as could be. I expected to find old friends and acquaintances all wrought up and excited, but they were not. I expected to meet some of my old friends in the ranks of the Vigilance Committee, but did not. I did not see a woman who carried a gun, and several women told me that they did not, nor did they know of one who did Vigilance Committee in Myth. The Vigilance Committee' consisted of the village constable and a young man, a boy really, who was sworn in as a special policeman to help the constable aidesdracapture a big soldier who was accused of attempting to break into a house. The Vigilance Committee, armed with a navy revolver and bravely recorded by the chief of police, chased the soldier through and over fences and across lots generally right into the arms of a prominent citizen, who captured him without a gun and held him until the Vigilance Committee came up and took him in charge. The civil authorities tried to hold the soldier on a charge of burglary, but knew just how to go about it, they put the prisoner in irons, took him to Watertown to the district attorney, who advised them to take him back and arm him over to the military authorities. But the civil powers were not to cheat of their prey, so they tried the soldier for being drunk and disorderly, and sent him to prison. Protest Against Color. "When it was known that the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry (colored) was to be sent to Madison Barracks, a book of protest went up on all sides. The newspapers added their editorial objections abitulum. Action was taken to have the War Department and the colored troops elsewhere. It became a matter of political gossip. The Democrat resulted the Republican for his inconsistency in objecting to the advent of his colored brother. But the colored brother came and he was surprise. Bear in mind that the people up North here knew nothing whatever of the characteristics of the colored people. They knew that white soldiers were bad enough and they had had such experience with them, and they took it for granted that the colored soldier must of necessity be still worse, none of his color. then the soldiers did come, the e were amazed to find a regiment on, finely drilled, clean, splendid fellows, orderly, polite, under discipline, observing of all the of military etiquette, and in a very superior body of men; so in fact than any white regi- ment that ever occupied Madison Barracks 'By and by people began to see that it was really possible for men having dark skins to have white hearts and good principles. Then the reaction set in "Then men of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, fresh from fighting for the old flag in the Philippines, had money in their pockets, had an abundance of it. These men are good spenders. In a short time they almost literally bought out some of the stores and those who had anything to sell could not savo too much in praise of the colored soldier. They made much of him. Some people invited him to sit upon the porch beside them, and tell them about the Philippines Brief chapter of Errors. "There rae some verey fine looking men in the regiment whose Negro blood consists of a mere tint—a shadow only on the complexion. With such, some of the fair daughters of the village flirted just a little, to pass the time away, but it was a great error on their part. Finally, the soldiers wanted to reciprocate the kindness with which they had been received, so they got up a grand supper at the harracks, to which many of the citizens were invited, together with their wives and daughters. They went, and there was another error, two, in fact, for the soldiers should never have given the entertainment, nor should the citizens have accepted when invited. It admitted and established in the mind of the colored soldier a social equality "The white man had not thought of it in that light. A woman when asked if she attended that dinner given by the soldiers at the barracks admitted hesitating that she did "Would you invite any of them to dinner at your own home?" "Certainly not' (undignantly) "Are you not just a little inconsistent?" "Well,' she replied I suppose I am but at that time I did not realize what it might lead to." Tempestions Increase. "As I have already hinted, as soon as it became known that the soldiers had an abundance of money, the number of drinking places increased and lewd resorts quadrupled in number. The saloons ran wide open nights and Sundays. Lewd women from Watertown, Syracuse, Rochester, Oswego and elsewhere flocked in, and citizens having houses empty rented them. It is not an uncommon thing. I am told, to find a disorderly house sandwiched between the dwellings of respectable citizens, but then the owner is getting big rent, you know, and the village fathers wink and move out." "A soldier wanting to visit one of those 'sandwiched-in' houses makes a mistake and goes to the wrong house. On being informed, of his error he touches his cap and goes away. The day the, daily papers tell of a widow who was frightened into fits by some Negro soldiers who forced their way into her home. There proves to be no word of truth in the statement. Some of the soldiers are accused of being 'Keeping Toms,' and may be truthfully. In one instance, however, the soldier established a complete alibi by white witnesses Soldiers Offer Reward. "Even now the soldiers and officers are offering a reward of $100 for the identification of the person who assaulted Miss Edith Gamble, should he prove to be a soldier. The fact is the officers and men are alike anxious to bring to punishment any one of their number who is guilty of any offense against the law; hence they complain bitterly that the whole body of men are made to suffer because there are three or four vicious men among them. There is not, nor has there been, a complaint made against any of these men that its counterpart was not found against white soldiers time and again, and not a word said about it. "But these men are colored men. That is the real animus of the whole thing Men who are acknowledged 'miger haters' are now shouting 'I told you so' and it is that class of men who are furnishing the press with all sorts of slanderous reports as to the doings of the colored soldier Finally, the clamor against his men became so great that Colonel Paulding issued the following order: Soldiers Forbidden to Enter Village Madison Barracks, Feb. 28, 1909 In view of the disturbed conditions and the animus shown by the citizens of Sackets Harbor, the enlisted men of this command are forbidden to enter the town of Sackets Harbor, except for the purpose of taking the train for Watertown or elsewhere and in returning In such cases when going out they will go direct to the depot and upon returning will proceed direct to the post without delaying for any purpose within the limits of Sackets Harbor Any enlisted man found in Sackets Harbor will be arrested and court martialed This order will be read to all of the enlisted men of each organization at retreat for three (3) successive days and a copy will be posted on the bulletin board of each organization in a conspicuous place By order of COLONEL PAULDING Robert S Knox First Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant Twenty fourth U.S. Infantry Adjutant "U.S. Treasury has announced 'When this order became known the excitement rose to fever heat. The citizens thought seriously at one time of holding an indignation meeting and compelling Colonel Paulding to rescind his order. They even sent to Watertown to a prominent lawyer to meet them at Sackets Harbor and show them how to do it. He succeeded in showing them, not exactly 'how not to do it,' but how that it was better not to do it, and there the matter rests." Commander Accused of Boycotting. "The colonel is accused of 'boycotting' the business men of the village. (Continued on Page 8) THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SAFETY DEPARTMENT LASTON AVENUE HALL BOUGHT BY NEGRO MASONS ST. LOUIS MASONS PURCHASE HALL Three-Story Structure to Accommodate Sixteen Lodges Barred From the Hall—Owners Do Not Anticipate any Opposition From White Property-holders Special to THE NEW YORK AUB St Louis, Mo., March 23—At last St Louis can boast of a hall for Negro lodges, which is owned by Negroes. A deal has just been closed whereby the Negro Masons have acquired a three-story building for $22,500, and no longer will the respective lodges be compelled to pay large sums nearly for EASTON AVENUE inferior meeting places. The Masons have been talking of purchasing a hall for several years, but it was only recently that they adopted a business like method of buying property. The lodge hall is a handsome three-story brick structure at 3615 Easton avenue, known as the Easton Avenue Hall. In the purchase of the property by the Negro Masonic Hall Association another milestone in the record of maternal progress of the Negroes of St Louis has been added Within the last five years the Knights of Pythias, at 3137 Pine street the United Brothers of Friendship, at 2029 Lawton avenue, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, at 2023 Morgan street, the Knights of Tabor, at 2701 Morgan street, Widow's Son Lodge, at 2708 Morgan street; the True Reformers' at 2600 Pine street, the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, at 2702 Lawton avenue, Douglass Hall and Building Association, at 2645 Lawton avenue, and the Provident Hospital Association, at 2824 Lawton avenue, have made property investments of a similar nature in the district between Jefferson and Grand avenues. In addition, Negro congregations have acquired several large churches, at prices ranging from $38,000 to $60,000. Oldest of Negro Orders in St. Louis. Although the last to purchase a home, the Negro Masonic Fraternity is the oldest of the Negro orders in St. Louis, its first lodge, Prine Hall No 1, being over sixty years old. The order has an active membership of over 1,800, among whom are many of the oldest and most substantial colored people of the city. The purchase was made for the association by a committee composed of Capt. William H Butler, Dr A W. Craddock and Dr Wm. H. Mansifee. Easton Avenue Hall was erected twenty years ago, at a cost of $85,000. Nine blue slodges, four Royal Arch chapters, four Knights Templars commandaries, one Scottish Rite consistency, one Shriners' temple, five courts of the Heroines of Jericho, five chapters of the Order of Eastern Star, and one Kadosh council, all of which are stockholders of the association, will have permanent headquarters in the building Capt Butler, chairman of the Purchasing Committee for the Negro Masons, recently said "We do not expect the slightest protest from the people of the neighborhood for the simple reason that there will be no cause for it. I have lived in the immediate vicinity of the hall for a number of years, and I have never had the slightest friction with my neighbors. The Negro Masonic fraternity is composed of orderly, self-respecting men and women, who are recognized as good citizens and nothing will be permitted on or about the premises to which any neighbor could offer a protest. For many years our order occupied lodge rooms in the heart of the retail bus ENUE HALL BOUGHT BY NEGI ness district at the northwest corner of Fourth and Washington avenue, and no protest was ever filed against us, owing to the orderly and genteel character of our gatherings The elimination of the Saturday night ball and the sale of intoxicating drinks, which will not be permitted under our man agement, will be an improvement that will be welcomed by the people of the neighborhood." INDIAN UPRIISING Militia Has Been Called Out to Suppress Trouble in Oklahoma CHETOAH, OKLA, March 29. In response to an order issued by Adjutant General Canton, the entire State militia has been called out to suppress the first real Indian uprising of years, that has already cost six lives and the wounding of many of the band and townspeople. The Indians, who are aided in their fight by half-breeds and Negroes, are under the lead of Chief Crazy Snake. They have sent word to the authorities that they will fight until the last member of their band is killed rather than surrender. Among the six lives that have been lost are two deputy sheriffs who were killed in an encounter with the Indians. The uprising started on Thursday last when an attempt was made by several deputy sheriffs to arrest some cattle thieves at Henryetta. The Negroes and their halfbreed friends fired on the deputy sheriffs and forced them to retreat. When the deputy sheriffs returned a few hours later with additional forces the band was augmented by a number of Crazy Snake's Indians, and they again opened fire. In this encounter three Negroes were killed and many others were wounded by the deputies, who made forty-one arrests. Said to be Due to Increase of Attendance Movement on Foot to Establish Separate Churches Special to THE NEW YORK AQB Boston Mass. March 31—Effete Boston is also drawing the color line in religious circles. In all the orthodox churches of this city and adjacent territory discrimination is being shown. In each of these churches when the number of Negro communicants was small the colored brother was accorded a hearty welcome, but as the Negro pop- PO MASONS ulation steadily increased and the attendance at these churches grew larger the old cry of "social equality" hobbled up and from the white members would be heard generous suggestions that the Negro members get a place of worship the town In a short time a little Negro church with a Negro minister would sprout Nowhere among whites by the Negro people seem to be wanted in large numbers. This suggests the question-Why is one Negro for Christ, preferable to one hundred Negroes? Or why does the Negro's influence among whites decrease as his numbers increases? How ever, Boston whites of late seem disposed to take a chance in the future life unaccompanied by a host of Negroes The great Trinity P. E. Church has made several efforts to discourage its Negro communicants. Some have taken the hint and have retired, but others hold on rather than establish and maintain a religious organization and boast of independence. One well conditioned Negro communicant gave an offering of a goodly sum to this rich parish, and it was returned to him with a suggestion to give it to a Negro church. This is only one of the many insults which have been aimed at Negro membership in this church St James P. E. Church, Cambridge, asked a Negro choir boy to resign, and put all its Negro Sunday school scholars in one class and in charge of a Negro member St Peter's P E Church, of Cambridge, was extremely restive until it secured a Negro co-worker in an effort to establish a Negro mission. St. Bartholomew is the result North Cambridge Baptist Church has given the most e courageing inducements to its Negro members to start a mission. Several efforts have proved futile, and there is considerable misunderstanding in that At the Hope Baptist Church, of Roxbury, a young Negro woman who had been teaching a class in the Sunday school composed of white and Negro pupils was asked to create a class of all Negro pupils, which she indignantly refused to do. The Roman Catholic Church, known as the most liberal in its treatment of its Negro members, has seen fit to establish a Negro mission, known as St Patrick Church. During the Chapman revivals in this city, which created a furore of a purely sensational nature, the Negro ministers were asked to hold separate meetings for Negro people of an emotional disposition. The Negro clergy did not comply. All people do not look with dread upon this exhibition of bigotry. Some regard it as a call to independence, the test of true manhood; others sulk and refuse to be segregated Collector Andersen Lecturer On Thursday evening Mar. 25 25th Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, delivered a lecture on "Facts and Fancies of the Race Question" before the Men's Club of St Stephen's P. F. Church Newark A large audience was present, including several representatives of the race resident in Newark, among whom was Proof J. M Baxter principal of Com- merce Street School. Collector of Internal Revenue Herold of Newark met Mr Anderson with his automobile at the train and after the lecture took him to his home where supper was served Previous to the lecture Mr Anderson dined with Dr. F. A Wasson, rector of St Stephen's Church, and his family Industrial School in New Rochelle. New Rochelle N. Y. March 31—By the kindness of one of New Rochelle's philanthropists an industrial school for Negro children was opened at League Hall Thursday, March 12. The school will meet on Friday after noons at 4:30 p.m the class to consist of girls from 8 to 12 years of age, who are taught how to sweep, dust, make fires table setting, washing, ironing, and many other useful principles of housekeeping. The Negroes of New Rochelle are very grateful, and praises can be heard on all sides for the citizens who are furnishing the school, and the directors of the New Rochelle Cooperative Business League, who allows the school to meet in their hall gratuitously. Foraker Praised in St. Paul. St. Paul, Minn., March 31. The following resolution was adopted by the Men's Union Club of St. James' A M E Church: There having occurred an epoch in the administration of the affairs of this Government during the last administration that seemed to engulf the Afro-American and tendered to place him in despair, in the discharge of the companies, "B," "Q," and "D," of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, commonly known as the Brownsville matter, at an unexpected moment there arose out of the cloud a man, through the intervention of Providence, who was to champion our cause, and Joe, b. B. Foraker, of Ohio, stood forth in the face of all opposition, throwing all personal interests to the wind and demanded that justice be done, at the sacrifice of a seat in the Senate of the Sixty-first Congress, and. Whereas. Through his indefatigable efforts a measure was passed during the last days of the Sixtieth Congress, giving the colored soldiers the right to reenlist under favorable conditions. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Men's Union Club of St James' A M E L Church, of St. Paul, Minn, do earnestly extend to Hon. Joseph B Foraker, of Ohio, our heartfelt thanks for the hearty, unselfish efforts put forth incessantly for two years in behalf of the colored soldiers in particular, and the race in general, never wavering until justice perched upon his banner victorious. That we congratulate him most heartily upon the successful consummation of his efforts, also assuring him our earnest support, if ever an opportunity should arise to show our heartfelt appreciation. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Hon. Joseph B Foraker, of Ohio, and a copy be spread upon the minutes of the club.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS MEETING IN SOUTH AFRICA Held by Native Citizens on the Proposed Constitution Against Certain Provisions Which Deprive Them of Privileges on Account of Color To Unite and Demand That More Liberals Laws be Framed for Blacks—Representation in Parliament KIMBERLY, South Africa, March 1. At a big mass meeting of natives held at St John's Hall, Kimberly, a short time ago, the draft constitution was discussed and many protests were entered against certain provisions in the constitution which tended to discriminate against the Negro on account of color. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Kimberly Branch of the African Political Organization Joseph Joshua, chairman of the local branch of the A P O. presided Others active at the meeting were Messrs. Isaac Joshua, D Lenders, T. Dooling, P. Jamjies Van Rooyen, J Kay, T Wiliams, E Johnson, W Mack, G Henry, P M Dawson, H Delport, P Michael and Tevilli. In making the opening address, Chapman Joshua stated that from his point of view clause 35 of the constitution was the most vital, as it made it possible to take away the franchise of the black voters which they have enjoyed for fifty years Another phase of the constitution discussed brought up was the provision in the constitution making it possible to draw the color line regarding those eligible for election as members of Parliament. At present the natives of Cape Colony have the right, not only to vote for members of Parliament, but also to return members of the right to represent them in that body. By the constitution the right would be taken away. The universal plea was that a constitution be drafted based on Cecil Rhodes' policy—"equal rights for all civilized men." --- Mr. Van Rooyen, after reviewing the history of the convention, said the colored community were called upon, under the constitution, to make very heavy sacrifices—sacrifices which were more than they could bear. Therefore, whilst other communities were jubilant, they were downcast. They had come to the turning of the ways. They had had the right to return men of color to Parliament, and though they had felt it courteous notto exercise that right, they had never regretted refraining-from doing so. But when the door was shut, absolutely slammed in their faces, what could they think? They felt that that example, set by the framers of this constitution would tend to embitter their lives. The vote they were given was a sham, as no provision was made for the colored vote counting in the basis upon which Cape Colony was allowed fifty-one members in the proposed Parliament. The colored people would have no voice in the election of representatives to the new Parliament—the vote was a sham. If this color line was passed the position of the Cape colored community would deteriorate rapidly. The "privileges" extended to the colored people were a sham. Take the two-third majority provision—it meant that of the total of one hundred and sixty-one members of the two houses there would have to be fifty-four stamth to the colored people's rights. But even if all the Cape members voted for the colored rights there would only be fifty-one for them even then they would not get the requisite third to protect their rights. Plan to Make Africa a White Man's Country. The whole constitution was planned to make the country a white man's country, which would be a sad mistake for whites as well as blacks. The black people would never be satisfied without the franchise, and this constitution would take all their rights away "Equal rights for all civilized men," was the only stable foundation for a prosperous country—there would always be trouble if that basis was departed from. They had never abused their rights, they had never sought to oust the whites, they had been loyal, but if the constitution was passed their loyalty would be sapped. He had no hesitation in saying that the first time the question of colored rights was brought up in the proposed Parliament, the existing rights in Cape Colony would be swept away—so soon as the "sun" of the Transvaal shone upon this sham, even the sham rights given them would be swept away like morning mists. He suggested that resolutions on the subject should be framed and considered and submitted to a subsequent meeting. Isaac Joshua, the Hon Secretary, said the color line had been clearly drawn—the man with a black skin, no matter what his qualifications, was debarred from sitting in Parliament. Was is right or fair that able men should be excluded from Parliament simply (Continued on Page 5) ‘a TERRELL BANQUETED smrpeeectacasl tis!

Mr C A Robertson, one of Roanoke's leading city zones with two of his little children was burned to death in his stable Friday evenings, the stables of Mr Robertson were in a light blue. An alarm was turned in and the fire department responded promptly but the home being outside the city limits, nothing could be done. It was first thought that only a horse and a dog were in the house, but the fire with grief declared her husband and two children had gone in to feed. The stable was completely destroyed and a search was made through the fire and abuses for the remains, which were found, but unrecognisable. A news reporter came to the carer and had served in that capacity for fourteen years. Race Adjustment By Kelly Miller Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Howard University, Washington Neale Publishing Company, New York and Washington Large Octavo: $2.00, postage 13 Cents Orders may be sent to the author Agents Wanted, Liberal Commission Book News Monthly: "One finds here a less extreme and uncompromising attitude than that of Professor W. E. B. DuBois, and a larger horizon, a higher complexity of insights, than in the severer practicality of Booker Washington. It is a contribution from the most intellectual Negro author living." Springfield Republican: "A strong and forceful putting of the case for the Negro." Dallas News: "The author is a forceful and most pleasing writer, interesting from the first sentence of the first chapter to the close of the book." Hartford Courant: Suppressing burning wrath, the same professor applies these philosophical theories to cold facts in calm investigation of the conditions of race antagonisms in the South." Boston Transcript: "This book of Professor Miller is from beginning to end an appeal to the reason, pure and simple, of both races. It ought to be in the hands of every serious student of the Negro problem." Louisville Courier-Journal: "One of the best written books on the race problem." Chicago News: "The book is written with great ability, in English quite free from fault, and its logic is fairly inexorable." Cleveland Plain-Dealer: "Professor Miller shows himself a master of an incisive style of writing and a keen logician." C.

DENNIS MAKES STATEMENT Regarding Trouble Between Him and Charles C. Knowles in Lodge. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE In your publication of March 18 there appeared an article which I wish to goek around to see what he told me about an absolute falsehood in reporting his wife Charles C Knowles and myself in the lodge room on the night of March 10, and that it ended in the street. There is as a statement on the statement. The true statement of the story follows. The controversy between Mr Knowles and myself was a put-up job by his friends on account of the loss of a suit in which I was a witness. I was me with a threat and at the same time his beloved friends stepped in between us. He then struck me over his beloved friend's shoulder, picked up his coat and street, where his friend, Taylor, wont after him, with his own hat and per- sonalized him to run to Sixth Avenue to avoid being asked. I have never had any trouble with him, only to befriend him. Thus for twenty five years, save three, I have been in the lodge as a member, and thirty-nine years in New York. I never had a patch on his face, but I have been a fighter. Please reccylt that publication and brand it from whence it came as an absolute and unprecedented falsehood. I would not have had Mr Knowles in Ludlow Street. I would not have had him in the same place by his friend who would stand by him. I thought I would give his the opportunity to pro- vise his friendship. I tried to get satisfaction in the police court but they treated the suspect with kindness. I honored Charles Wilford H. Smith, who took the case in hand and has worked it satisfactorily for me as for as it has gone. George Evans of Quantico Dead.

Judging from the large houses that greeted him the first day of his short engagement, he will enjoy a successful week in America's most famous week in the theatre. On the program Johnson is the "indefeated champion of the world, presenting a scientific exhibition of bag punching and other gymnasium work, concluding with a three-round sparring exhibition with Kid Cutter." The writer cannot conscientiously say that the act is what they term in the theatrical parlance "a scream," yet it fills its mission, as do all such acts—draws a crowd. If Jim Jeffries is being paid a large sum to point a bag a few tame rounds and get such easy money in the arena as the only man who invites Johnson an interesting argument in the ring, why should not the champion of the world also do a few gymnastic stunts and gather in a large supply of currency? In looking over bills at the various North yauveille houses this week one is reminded that athletes are playing a prominent part; at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre Jack Johnson, pugnish; in headliner; Mike Donlin, professional ball player, heads the bill with his wife, at Keith's Fifth Avenue Theatre, at the American Theatre Annette Kellermann, diver, is the principal attraction. It seems as if this is the day of the athlete who gains distinction in his chosen profession. It has not been very long ago when the best optician seated on the stage could do to become a member of a burlesque show or join a company presenting some "blood and thunder" play in a second class house. Peter Jackson was given a part in a company playing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Sullivan, Fitzsimons and a host of prominent heavy and lightweight fighters have been connected with burlesque and shows of the melodramatic order, but they have been permitted to grace a bill on which was inscribed "poteau vauille" Jim Corbett is an exception to the rule. He has developed into an actor and has made a reputation as on a monologist. he does not reputation as a fighter as he does on his present one as an actor. So when William Morris decided to put Jim Jeffries in polite vauilleville because of many of the white inhabitants that he was the only one who would be a formidable contender against Johnson for the championship title, Willie Hammerstein went Morris one better and made the colored champion the leading attraction at the leading vauilleville house in this country. Truly this is a great era for prominent athletes who desire to face the footlights, and while white knighted actors are being trained, actor who is to-day sore at heart being compelled to witness the spectacle of a colored man heading a bill—not a Hogan, a Williams and Walker or a Cole and Johnson—but a fighter, it must be remembered that this is the day of the professional athlete on the stage, and that it cannot be helped because a colored man is the leading fighter of the world. --- Jack Johnson did not do anything out of the ordinary Monday evening. His bag-punching exhibition was tame in comparison with several bag-punching acts in vaudeville. The writer has seen much better exhibitions than Johnson and Jeffries have given in New York, but it is not expected that such large men should be superior bag punches because they are first in the fastic art. Neither did Johnson exert himself in the three-round sparring exhibition with his partner, Kid Cutler. To anyone who knows something about boxing Johnson was content to play with his adversary and was willing to get into the box for him to get another sparring partner by handling Cutler roughly. A few of the white patrons seated in the upper floors, and who evidently had never seen a boxing contest, thought that the only way to get the worth of their few small dimes was to see the champion heat his opponent in a pulp. Because such a state of affairs did not exist a few hisses were heard but a visual glance at the offenders was enough to give one take off, and consider the source as the factor in stance it was plainly evident to either a wearer of green goggles that the culprit was pitiful ignorant or either a reader of Figdron, of the Evening World. After all, many boxers and Jeffries are only looked at in a manner that does not go through a窒ious fifteen minutes as is necessary for the other vaudeville performers. Several weeks ago Dorando at the Victoria Theatre. He only trotted around the stage several times, made several bows and got the money. Jack Johnson did not do anything out of the ordinary in punching the bag or sparing last Monday evening, but he gave one exhibition that made every colored person present feel proud of him, and that was when, despite the hissing by a few ignorant and prejudiced whites, and the throwing of a lemon by one white other in an upper box, who had not other in an upper box, who had not recovered from the shock of a col- ored man winning the championship title, he showed himself to be a gentleman, cool, collected and acting every inch the champion that he is. While his gymnastic exhibitions did not create unusual comment, when he stepped to the footlights and thanked those in the audience for the enthusiastic reception tendered him, and even thanked the thrower of the lemon and others of that ilk, the applause was long and deafening. Surely his white inferiors felt cheap—if mentally capable. It has been said that Manager Willie Hamsterstein has been upbraided by friends and perversely for or making it too soon, loading attaches to his house. Evidently they have sought to show him that the champion would draw a colored following that would be obnoxious to the patrons of the theatre.

Although the present theatrical season has been generally known as a hard one, the members of the company have been paid their salaries regularly. Manager McCabe has been able to keep his large company together and, with the various themses supplied with plenty of special paper. It is the policy of the manager of this show to advertise extensively whenever you have something good for the public, and be successful. Despite this is the Leuten season the company is doing a fair business. F. K Only a few days more and the show will be in 'Frisco. During our engagement in Los Angeles our business was more than was expected by thirty per cent. The understudies were called into play unexpectedly several evening agos owing to the non-appearance at overture and first act of Billy Young. Gun Hailey played the English chaple, while Day played the Young's part in a finished manner. Contrary to all rumors that this show would not play the coast, but will stay in the South all season, a slightly silence is being shown by the chronic forcecasters. The Black Patti Pullman car has dressed up in the Southern Pacific Rail road yards, and we should be seen on the platform. We can sit at the windows or stand on the platform with as much gusto as anybody and feel proud. The inside has also been thoroughly renovated by our hustling porter, Tom Floyd, and it is safe to say that it is one of the best equipped ever used by any show of its kind.

THIS has really been a great week for admirers. With the champion of the colored pugilists and their many world in New York City and Sam Langford, an aspirant for the heavy-weight championship title also on the scene, the team was greeted by a space to Jeffries, Ketchell, Kaufman and the other prominent light fighters. Jack Johnson was accorded a rousing welcome when he arrived in town Monroe, where he was greeted by an enthusiastic throng, composed of colored and white admirers. It was a pleasing sight to note the warm welcome the members of the champion's team were welcome to which he was rightly entitled. When Johnson arrived at Grand Central Station he was immediately taken in charge by a host of colored friends, to put puns on all the large automobiles that he drove through the various streets and was finally taken to Barron Wilkins' Hotel, where he was compelled to make a speech. During the week the hotel had a large number of places in the city, and large crowds have been in evidence in the hotel as well as on the outside to get a look at the new champion of the world. In many of the public events Johnson has visited during the week he has been compelled to make speeches Langford Defeats Harris Monday evening, at the Marathon Club of Brooklyn, Sam Langford put away Morris Harris, the colored heavy-weight. in seven rounds. Although Langford was the best of the competition, he did of having any difficulty in defeating Harris. The blow that put Harris out was one on the mouth.

There were nearly seven hundred dispatched devotees of the fistic game in Ounnha, and the police stopped what was scheduled to be a fast bout between Carl Frampton and Nathe Travis, two local light weights of promise. The match was to have been pulled off at the Pelk Theatre, where a large crowd had assembled, but the parade was delayed. A purse of $500 had been put up, which with the gate receipts, was to have been divided on a sixty-four basis. Roy Givens was Frampton's backer, and Billy "Tittlehead" hooked after Travis' in holder and Bob Johnson was official stake holder and Bobby Franklin of St Louis, referee.
