ROBERTS WAS A VERY CLASSY
AND SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

Thursday evening Miss Maude J.
Roberts, soprano, assisted by C. Cecil
Cohen, gave her recital at Abraham
Lincoln Center. lakewood boulevard
and Langley avenue. Despite the fact
that the weather was very unpleasant
the auditorium was filed by the many
friends and admirers of Miss Roberts
who possesses an exceedingly rich and
pleasing soprano voice.
The affair in every way was very
classy and successful.
Mr.. Devries, her instructor, accom-.
panied her on the piano. 1t was the
first time in sixteen years that he has
appeared before the public with any
Of his pupils, and he was so highly
pleased with her singing that several
times after the conclusion of some Of
her numbers he warmly grasped her by
the hand, while both of them graceful
" bowed before the audience.
Miss Roberts received a half q
wagon load of rare and beautiful
flowers from many of those who were
completely captivated by her singing
Carey B. Lewis, manager of the af
fair, was so well pleased over its sue
cess that he conducted himself like a
French dancing master.
The following program was rem
dsred:.
Mr.. Cohen: Aufsehwung. Sehumann.

who claims to be the private secre.
tary to the sainted Bishop Samuel Fal.
lows, the ex-some kind of a saloon
owner and keeper, receives one hun
bred dollars per month salary for his
doubtful services; that the Western
Trade Journal, which is published in
this city and it has not one dozen
readers among the Colored people in
any part of the country, got its
clutches on to seventy-fve dollars of
the people Is money for advertising the
celebration; that the New York Age,
which is published in that eastern city,
received twenty-five dollars for white
washing and soldering over the Hon.
Thomas Wallace Swami, who as sec
rotary of the commission manages each
month to grab off forty to sixty dol
lars in easy money in the way of
piekings and so on; and if there is
one thing that will forever prevent
the Hon. Edward F. Dunno from en-
tering the Kingdom of heaven it will
be because of the fact that he was so
short-sighted and weak minded enough
to select the Rev. Hon. Archibald
James Carey, Ph.D, DID,, and the
Hon. Thomas Wallace Swami to blow
in the taxpayers money and to boss
the Illinois State Commission.
1t will also be noted that Mrs. Joan
ma Snowden-Porter, one of the proba-
tiOn officers of the Juvenile Court, is
credited up with $l6.71 for expenses as
one of the employees of the commits
sion; that the Hon. J. Gray Lucas,
one of the leading Afro-Ameriean at
tOrneys in this section of the country,
who drew the bill asking for the ap-
preparation of the $4,000 for the cele-
bration, had to fight like everything
in order to come into the possession of
the $50 to pay him for his legal tai
ent and labor.
In view of the fact that the pay
roll of the State Commission amounts
to 500 or $500 per month with other
useless expenditures of large sums of
money which runs to about 81 900 per
month, neither branch of congress nor
the legislature of Illinois should ap-
propriate one dollar for the eelebra-
ton until the reckless squandering of
the taxpayers money in that direction
that they should see to it that the
State Commission must be reorganized;
that Messrs. Swami and Carey, who
have not the respect nor the conf
denee of the people in general, must
be removed from it in order to make
the celebration a success.
As it has been announced from
time to time 5y the good Bishop Sam
uel Fallows that the exposition was to
be held at the Eighth Regiment Ar
mory, later on they claimed it would
blaze forth in all its glory at the Col
iseum; now they claim that it will be
held somewhere in the stock yards
district.
