Census Figures Misleading.

The census Of 1900 gave the Negro
population in the United States by pc
riodical comparison as follows: In 1900
the Negro formed 1888 per cent OF
the population; in 1910, 1908 per cent;
in 1850, 1868 per cent; in 1860. 14.O2
per cent; in 1880, 1911 per cent; In
1890, 11.93 per cent; in 1900, 11.59 per
cent
While the above figures show de-
cided falling of in the Negro popula-
ton when compared with the total
population Of the United States, they
are not to be construed to mean that
there are fewer Negroes now than In
1900. Take the population Of the Unit
ed States In 1900 and then add to It
the number of immigrants to the
United States from 1900 to 1900 and 1t
will be clearly seen how misleading
these figures are.

IN THE SPORTING WORLD.
Negro Ball Players Doing Good Work.
Career of Sol White.

Sol White, the dean Of Negro base
ball managers, is as happy as the
days are long. The 'old masters" hap
piness is due to the fact that he has
a strong team in the Quaker Giants,
and, above all, the team has secured a
lease on the Camden (N j. league
park as its home grounds.
Although there have been made sew
eral underhanded attempts to stop
Captain White in his efforts to secure
a good team and to book dates, yet he
has succeeded In overcoming the oppo-
sition and now has not only a good
team, but many dates.
Under the management Of White the
Quaker Giants as reorganized will
make strong bid for the champion
ship of the season. Recently the
team has been playing against some
of the strongest Negro teams and has
been winning right along, and there
has been a notable improvement In
the work Of the men.
Captain White enjoys the reputation
Of being the only professional Negro
player who Is a college graduate, hav-
ing been educated at Wilberforce uni
versity, which is the Oldest institution
in America for the education Of Afro
Americans.
Among the men who constitute the
Quaker Giants force are: Brown, left
field; Hill, second base; Barber, third
base; Carter, right field; Grant, short
stop; Shorts, catcher; Johnson, center
field or pitcher; Hyman, pitcher; Go
vens, substitute; Jones, pitcher; Swick-
ct, pitcher
With the members Of the team are
some Of the fastest base runners
among Negro players, while the bat
ting average of most Of the men will
compare favorably with that Of any
other team.

"The Blue Mouse Blue
Mouse" the latest work from the brain
of Clyde Fitch, that prolific writer of
comedies. and which is now enjoying
its seventh month of phenomenal sue
cess at Shuberts Lyric theater, New
York, and which has created all kinds
of sensations throughout the south
and east on account of a few non
theater goers who every now and then
make a feeble crusade against the
theater, will be the attraction at the
Burtis, Davenport, May 16 and II. The
company which will be seen here has
just finished a tour of the southern sec
ton of the country, playing st. Louis
and Kansas City each two weeks
which is something unusual, and every
where the piece has been presented the
critics have been unanimous in their
praise of Mr.. Fitch's comedy. pro-
nouncing it clean, wholesome and
withal the best comedy this author has
yet offered the public Novelty has
ever been the keynote of every Fitch
comedy and into 1.-The Blue Mouse nc

characters you seldom meet yet know

that are far away from anything ever

Goals without being burned. the play
is clean and at no time is the audience
asked to solve problem or even
think seriously. It is the purpose of
the author to. create laughter and he
is said to have succeeded in a way that
has made his latest play the most
Iphenomenallye successful farce Amer
lea has ever seen. The piece ran for
a whole year in Germany and it still
holding the boards there as we'll as in
France. It has also been presented in
Austria, Sweden and Denmark and
