mirth by its brilliant comedy lines.
In fact it may truthfully be said that
no comedy on the stage of today has
taxed the risibilities Of more people
than this continuous laugh producer.
Mr.. Beresford, who plays the title
role, has scored distinct and decid-
ed hit, being one of the few come
dams who has been able to sink his
own individuality and personality
into that Of the character he as
sumes, gift that is rare even among
stars Of greater magnitude. "Our
New Man" itself is an amusing farce
and not impossible. Its complica-
tons are Of such nature that even
the most fastidious can witness its
presentation. It is clean, wholesome
and free from that double entendre
that characterizes many of the So
called comedies of today. Its lines
are bright, witty and snappy. It's
situations piquant without being
vulgar, and its climaxes are said to
be of the most thrillingly ridiculous
character. The company which Mr..
Beresford is said to have surrounded
himself with ranks, We are told as
one of the best now on tour. Every
one desiring an evenings enjoyment
should not fail to witness this pre-
sentation, which will be seen at the
Gennett theater Monday evening,
December II.

utes later Richmond again took the
lead on goal by Cunningham, who
showed it past eastman on beau
tiful back-handed assist of Bones.
Second Period.
The slap-bang game began in earn
est in this period. There was at
least one player on the floor all of
the time. Taking the ball on an as
sist Of Mansfield, Bone rushed to the
Muncie cage and while Holderness
was endeavoring to get a stranglc
hold on him George slapped the bali
past the surprised eastman. Then
the fun began. In a whirlwind of
blue and purple clad players and
chalk dust Bone scored again on a
drive from the wainscoating near the
center of the floor and several thirty-
third degree members Of the "Root
Society," had to be thrown down ,ad
sat upon. Farrell then began to
show his yellow. Rushing up to Bone
he threw that player on the floor and
the weakened Arundel was cblig-
ed to call foul on him, which
brought the entire Muncie team
swarming about him like a hive Of
bees. Play had scarcely been resum-
ed before Holderness repeated the
same trick on Bone and he was taxed
foul which caused that gentleman
and Farrell to roar like sea hons.
The Fighting Five then got bus7 aud
for few minutes it looked like it
would be necessary for the militia to
Interfere. Mansfield rode Higgins
up the floor and Doherty rode him
back. Bone charged into eastman
and Mike took after him with his
club, but Bones foot work WAS too
much for the big goal tend. The au-
dience was crazed.
In the midst of all this rough work
Cunningham, always tending strictly
to his knitting, scored the fifth goal
for Richmond, and a few minutes
later swooped down on a pass of
Holderness, and in a twink'ir" drove
home the sixth tally. Bone left the
floor after this goal for few MIN
utes and Cunningham, ST.. took his
place. While he was on Mansfield
tailed on beautiful line drive from
mid floor. This ended IT,, scollng Iii

EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS.
Professor Richings Shows What the
COlOred People Have Done in
Forty Years of Freedom.

An illustrated lecture was a feature
at the Church of Our Father last Sun
day at 1880 p. m, when Mr.. G. F.
Richings lectured on the Evidences of
Progress of the Colored People Since
Emancipation. The lecture itself was
a gem, and the one hundred iIIustra-
,tions which he used on his panorama,
illustrated every point he made in his
lecture. Mr.. Richings has made a care
full study of the coIored people, and
has written many valuable articles
concerning them.
He has put his more than twenty
years experience in the form of a
book, which is brim full of informa-
tion concerning coIored people, and
which is beautifully illustrated. He
is a pleasing speaker and is admirably
equipped for the work. The Washing
ton Post, speaking of his lecture, said:
''Mr. Richings used one hundred
stereopticon pictures to illustrate his
lecture. The pictures included cOlOred
men who are engaged as bankers, law
yers, doctors, merchants, inventors,
contractors, artists, electricians and
founders of colleges. One picture was
that of a hotel owned by ". Berry, at
Ohio Mr.. Berry began bust
ness with forty dollars Of borrowed
capital, and he now owns a building
costing 100000. A cotton factory at
Concord, N. c., operated and owned
by colored people, was also presented.
Mr.. Richings paid high tribute to the

than a hundred buildings, $50 officers
and teachers, and this year enrolled
1,SOO students. 1t costs about s4OO a
day.
Mr.. Richings said in closing the lee
ture, that the Negroes do not ask for
special legislation in their behalf. All
they want is fair treatment and an
opportunity to earn an honest living,
the basic opportunities granted to
other races in this country.

THE NEGRO AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
PUBLIC

To the ColOred People in the South:
The problem Of providing proper
school facilities for our children is of
gravest Importance to us as a race.
The thinking people of New York and
Massachusetts, feel that a ten months
school session is. necessary to fit their
children for life, and a generous pub
lie school system answers this demand
How much less can we afford to give
our children? The object of this appeal
is to force from colOred fathers and
mothers, from cOlored men and wO-
men who feel and think, a prompt and
effective answer to this vital question.
The great majority Of our people
must depend upon the public schools
for all the education they will receive.
Not more than one per cent of the
cOIOred children of school age will en-
ter a private or an endowed school,
and upon the public school rests the
burden of educating the remaining
ninety-nine per cent, if indeed, they
receive any education. 1t is evident
that our progress in the industries, in.
business, in college and industrial
school, as in morality a nd religion, will
be based upon the foundation work
done in the public schools.
To fail here, then, to neglect our
youth in the most formative period of
their lives. is to do them an irremedial
harm. To speak more definitely, 1 find
The colored American., 1904-05-07

that after careful investigation the Ne
gro children in the ex-slave States
are in school on an average of 1O7
days in the year, and that only one
third of the children of school age
are in school; that in North Carolina,
for example, the average school term
Is only 68 days, and that only 22.5
per cent of the Negro children attend
school at all. 1 find that in thirteen
Of the former slave States, 80 per cent
Of the Negro children of school age
did not attend any school for as much
as six months during the year 1900,
taking that year as an example.
1t requires no argument, then to
prove that if these conditions control,
We shall continue to be classed as an
ignorant, illiterate people.
With these facts before us, the main
question then is, What shall be done?
The first answer is that we pay our
taxes and thereby aid the State in
supporting the public schools. Be
cause of their poverty, and perhaps,
in some cases, their indifference, the
