Andrew Ringman, 9912 Ewlng avenue, has written to Senator Benlamin

B. Tillman of South Carolina, asking

mm to lecture in South Chicago some

time during April in behalf of a so

ciety whose name Mr. Ringman does

not care to disclose at present, on account of the premature excitement

that it might occasion.

This precaution is based upon the

excitement caused amonsr the colored

citizens of Chicago on the occasion of

benator Tillman's last, appearance in that city, when he spoke under the

auspices of the Woman's Hospital association on the subject of the annex

ation of Cuba. Tf T I . .

. 'uiiBiaaii uoes not reel any

emniiy toward the colored race, on the contrary he sympathizes with

mem. His Invitation to Senator Till man is because of his belief that tin

uwuiu Carolina statesman is one of

tne greatest orators of the day and that if he responds favorable the so

cieties under whose auspices the 1

ture will be given will be benefited financially.

In case Senator Tillman accepts, the lecture will take place some time in

April m the Calumet theater. Xrgroea Seek to Enjoin. It will be remembered that th oc

casion of Senator Tillman's last ap-

t-earace ln Chicago followed close

upon the heels of one of the South

Carolina statesman's nicturesnue ti

rades against the negro In the senate. Also just' previously President Rnn.

Chicago crystallized in an effort to prevent the lecture of Senator Till

man. Judge Landis of the United States court was petitioned for an in.

Junction prohibiting the talk. Senator

unman appeared, however, and the lecture was of great financial benefit

to the association under whose auspices it was given.
