Baltimore, Md.-By the will of
Edward j. w. Eaten, a colored
caterer, who died here recently,
S15, 900 is left to found an indus.

500 acres in that county is to be

which is to be named after him.
He was a widower and left no

r.. often, generally &C to hear the
colored comedian, Bert Williams. l
go to hear him, however, as often as
[ have opportunity, and | am seldom
in the same city with him that | do
not find myself, il / happen to have
an hour of leisure, drifting in the direc
tion of the theatre in which he is play
ing.
II we're a dramatic critic | sup
pose | might give some sound loglcal
reasons for liking Bert Williams style
and methods. But l am not critic
and vaudeville performances, as a
rule. strike me as tiresome. There is
so much that seems to me strained
and artificial and lacking in the flavor
of ordinary wholesome human nature
But Bert Williams humor strikes me
as the real thing. There is nothing
second-handed or second-rate about 1t.
His fun seems to flow spontaneously
and without effort, as if it came from
some deep natural source in the man
himself. Besides, there is quality
and flavor about Williams humor
which indicates that it is the natural
expression of a thoughtful and observ'
ing mind.
I have noticed him standing about
in a barber shop or among crowd
of ordinary colored people, the quiet
est man in the whole gathering. All
the time, however, he was studying
and observing, enjoying the charac'
ters that he saw around him and ge--
ting material for some of those quaint
songs and stories in which he repro
duces the natural humor and philo'
sophy of the Negro people.
AS have said, If | were dramat-
ic critic l might give some sound rea-
sons for liking Bert Williams, but the
best reason l can give for liking MS
ouaint songs and humorous sayings
is that he puts into his form some OF
the quality and philosophy OF the Ne
gro race. In fact, it seems to me tnat
Bert Williams has done for one slde
of the Negro life and character just
what the old plantation Negroes did
for another-gives expression and put
into a form which everyone can un-
derstand and appreciate something OF
the inner life and peculiar genius, IL
/ may soy so, of the Negro.
There is occasionally, as there ls'
sunnose. in all real humor, touch OF
real pathos, as for instance IN mis-
quaint little song in which he explains
"Why Adam Sinned:"
"Adam neber had no Nanny
For to take him on her knee,
And tell him what was rlght' anu

Things he'd ought to see.
| know, down in my heart,
He'd "a let dat apple be;
But Adam neber had no dear olu

"Adam neber had no childhood,

Alleged SWinuierS.
Two self-styled representatives Of
the Williams Grocery company Of
Boston, are in bad standing in this
vicinity, though they have made their
escape from the country, taking with
them considerable money. 1t seems
that they have been soliciting among
the farmers. taking orders, offering
premiums and collecting in advance
for the orders. Two ranchers from
near Noln, one of whom had given
the men s12, and the other one, sSS,
became suspicious and came to Echo
this morning in search of the So
licitors. Learning that the men
were working the Butter Creek ter
ritory, they went on to Stanfield and
caught the men as they were board
ing the train to leave the country.
They recovered their money and the
two solicitors went on.

RoosEvELT's INTERFERENCE.

New York Herald: 1t is likely that
Col. Roosevelt now regrets that he did
not stick to his promise volunteered
upon his arrival from Europe chat after
his long absence he would refrain from
interference in politics for two months.
Before retiring from the presidency he
hid thoroughly split the republican par
ty in the nation, and his latest inter-
vention in Albany politics has resulted
ina personal defeat and in tearing the
republican party in this state into tat
ters. As the evening Post puts it:
Unless some way out of the Albany
mesa is found, the republicans will en-
ter the fall campaign foredoomed to
defeat. They will be not only divided
but torn into factions that hate each
other bitterly. There has
been talk Of Roosevelt coming out as
leader, but his first essay at leadership
has been trampled upon.

JEFFRlEs GOES HOME.

his swollen face and blackened eyes, in

his defeat had dealt. him a vital blow
