Niagara Movement Has Great Meeting Thanksgiving Night-Plinkett Carries Off Honors Against Booker at Bethel Literary. Dr. Gordon Generally Considered Unfit for Head of Howard University—President Hamlin the Source of the Trouble. Washington, D. C., Nov. 22. The local organization of the Niagara Movement has completed its arrangements for the Memorial to the Friends of Freedom on the evening of Thanksgiving day at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, M street, between 15th and 16th streets, N. W. The eulogy on Albion W. Tourgee will be delivered by Hon. Geo. H. White, former representative in congress from North Carolina, and the eulogy of William Lloyd Garrison will be delivered by Hon. David K. Watson, former attorney general of Ohio, former member of congress from Ohio, and member of the commission to codify the criminal laws of the United States. The Niagara Movement doctrine will be expounded by Mr. L. M. Hershaw. The salutatory in the Liberator of Jan. 1, 1891, will be read by Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, the wife of Prof. Geo. W. Cook of Howard university. The chairman of the committee on music, Mr. W. K. Fossett, has prepared a most excellent program in which Miss Lola Johnson, Miss Beatrice L. Chase, Miss Nettie Murray, Mr. J. Gerald Tyler, Mr. Stanton Wormley, Mr. Winston Payne, Mr. Morrison Goodrich and the Octette club of Alexandria, Virginia, will participate. The presiding officer of the occasion will be Hon. John F. Cook. All indications point to a record breaking meeting. The Colored ministers union of the District of Columbia voted at its meeting Monday to observe Thanksgiving day as the memorial to the Friends of Freedom. A lively time is always assured at the Bethel Literary association meetings whenever anything touching Mr. B. T. Washington is to be discussed. Tuesday evening a large sized audience assembled to hear Mr. C. R. White of the Baltimore bar discuss "Two Leaders—Washington and DuBois." The announcement of this subject was notice to the clans to assemble. Mr. White's paper was colorless and harmless. There was one bright sentence in it. It was this: "Mr. Washington has been accused of being an orator, but he is not guilt." The usual discussion ensued in DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1905. when mr. H. J. Pinkett carried on the laurels. Mr. Pinkett showed that Mr. Washington was not the founder of Tuskegee, and that a college bred man, a Mr. Wilson of Bates college, discovered the particular inquity of the crop lien system of the south. JEFFERSON AND THE COW. Actor's Audience Amused by His Slip of the Tongue. Joseph Jefferson, two or three years ago, gave an address before the Woman's Club of Brockton, Mass. Wearing a dress suit, he stood before an audience of well dressed women, who had invited their husbands for this important occasion. The address was full of pithy remarks, and at its close Jefferson said: "Now, ask questions, and then I'll get an idea of the things you'd like me to talk about." Question followed question, and in course of time he was asked, "Do you believe in realism?" "Now, that," replied Jefferson, "is very much like a question I'm often asked after a performance. Suppose I was playing in a drama in which a cow had any part. I don't mind telling you that I am afraid of cows, and if I was taking part in such a play I should very much rather have the cow simply mentioned than to have him walk on to the stage." At this point the audience laughed, and Jefferson, pausing a moment to realize the joke, added: "I beg your pardon, and the cow's. too. I should have said 'her,' of course. What Kosclusko Wanted. Count Kosciusko, while in command of the revolutionary forces in the vicinity of Great Egg Harbor, Burlington county, N. J., happened one day into a pasture where a young lieutenant was drilling the "awkward squad." At sight of the straggling, slouching rustics, the count sputtered with disgust and swore some fearful oaths in his native tongue. Calling upon the men to halt, he seized a musket, and, brushing the lieutenant aside, went through the exercise himself. Then he bade them imitate him, but the squad, now thoroughly frightened, had become more awkward and sheepish looking than before. The old general was bristling with rage. Drawing himself up to his full height, he stamped his foot and shouted: "You mus' look like soldiers! Look fierce—look like de debbil—look like me!"

I will remember that "The enterprise does not depend u possible that a people may bear cute the work of slaves." The THE GARRISON PLEDGE OF THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Bowing in memory of that great and good man, William Lloyd Garrison, I, a member of the race for whom he worked and in whom he believed, do consecrate myself to the realization of that great ideal of human liberty which ever guided and inspired him. I hereby pledge myself to fight for freedom—freedom of thought, freedom to vote, freedom to enjoy public conveniences, and freedom to associate with those who wish to associate with me. I propose to enter this great moral battle with head up like a man, saying as he said: "I will be as harsh at truth and uncompromising as justice." "My reliance for the deliverance of the oppressed universally is upon the nature of man, the inherent wrongfulness of oppression, the power of truth, and the omnipotence of God." My cause is a holy cause: "Opposition cannot weary it out, force cannot put it down, fire cannot consume it. It is the spirit of Jesus who was sent to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God. Its principles are self-evident. its measures rational, its purposes merciful and just. It cannot be diverted from the path of duty, though all earth and hell oppose." I will remember that "The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers," and that "It is possible that a people may bear the title of freemen who execute the work of slaves." Therefore: "I solicit no man's praise." "I fear no man's censure." "Our trust for victory is solely in God. We may be personally defeated, but our principles, never!" "I am in earnest." "I will not equivocate." "I will not retreat a single inch." "And I will be heard." "I will not equivocate." "I will not retreat a single "And I will be heard." A CALL TO YOU.

Walton, the most extensive individual holder of mining property in Alaska, is now en route from Seattle to New York and Liverpool. Miss Walton is a native of Bridgeton, N. J., and was a milliner in Seattle in 1896, when the gold began to come down from Alaska by the shipload. The sight of the nuggets on the docks gave her the gold fever and she gave away her millinery shop, taking what money she could raise on short notice. She is the owner of tin mines in Cook's inlet and on the York river. Fruit Preserved Cheaply. A new process in the preservation of food products in transit has been invented by Charles Blagburn, of Antioch, Cal. Use is made of the vacuum, and by it goods—such as fruits—can be kept for three months without decay. Besides the fruit does not ripen further in the vacuum. A refrigerator car costs $750 for a transcontinental trip. In the new way the transportation would cost $200. TEXAS THE COLORADAN'S WINTER RESORT. San Antonio is an ideal place to spend the winter. Half foreign,whol ly unique it is altogether one of the interesting places.

Shall I see my mother yonder, Sitting at the Master's feet? Shall I see her oft and wonder, Kneeling at the mercy seat? Shall I hear her tell the story Of the things prepared above Shall I witness these in glory, Both of God and His great love? Shall I see my mother yonder In her robe of purest white Shall I see her thus and wonder When my spirit wings its flight? Shall I stand within the portals, Where the feet of saints have trod Shall I dwell with the immortals And that maker, who is God? Shall I see my mother yonder, Filled with joy and holy grace; Shall I see her still and wonder And adore that perfect face? Shall I press the hand so tender Which in childish years of mine Was my staff my sure defender And sweet being half divine. Shall I see by mother yonder If this life portray her worth; I shall meet her and shall wonder Why in sin men die on earth. I shall live with her who left me In this world alone distress She shall keep and not forsake me In that homeland of the blest. ELLA McALESTER ATESMAN et, Near Arapahoe.

Among the social events occurring in Washington last week was a dinner party given at the home of Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, president of the trustee board of Howard university. This is significant from the fact that only the white men of the investigating committee were present. The committee have held several meetings and as far as can be learned the charges against Dr. Gordon, the president, of incapacity, inefficiency and lack of real interest in the general upbuilding of the institution have been sustained. The desire to remove Dr. Gordon has been growing in the minds of all the people interested in this university for months. It has become a conviction that he is utterly unfit and does not possess in any degree one single qualification. Besides, he has proven a very expensive luxury, for before the trustees saw this man they accepted him on the sole recommendation of his brother-in-law, Dr. Hamlin. At the time of his appointment his salary was increased $1000 more than had ever been paid to any former president. Dr. Gordon does not teach as did former presidents, but has a stenographer, a typewriter, a regular routine of paid helpers, increasing the expense of the university several thousand dollars. The year before, Dr. Rankin secured his full salary although he had taught only half the year. But the trustee board magnanimously voted $2000 of the university's funds to Dr. Hamlin for bullying, brow-beating and bulldozing the students and not a few of the teachers during the former's unexpired term. If anybody can tell what he did to earn the $2000 let that person come forward and explain. The university did not get any better service but in words of the popular song each of the presidents might say: "I got mine; my $2000 leave with pay." I got mine, said Hamlin—my generous gift from the trustees. Dr. Gordon spent the greater part of the summer going about in the north ostensibly for the purpose of securing contributions to increase the endowment of the university—of course, at the expense of the university—but, up to date, the large sums he set out to obtain, have not yet materialized. Certain it is that had he been successful the fact would have been loudly proclaimed. But why such result should have been expected, we outsiders are at a loss to understand. One needs only to see him in the pulpit or on the platform to feel that in every sense of the word he means failure. He possesses neither learning nor eloquence, no magnetism, nor even the homely qualities of sincerity and good will. Dr. Gordon would not be kept at Howard university a single day were it not for the influence of his brother-in-law, Dr. Hamlin, who is pastor of a large and fashionable church. He it is who is the controlling spirit plainly dictating all Dr. Gordon's actions. Every one knows Hamlin's attitude so far as the Colored people are concerned. He set himself square on that question in the Presbytery last summer when he ejected the Colored churches in order to unite the white south with the north. Imagine the hypocrisy of this man assuming to dictate the policy of an institution designed especially to meet the needs of the Colored people of this country who strive and aspire to higher education. Since Dr. Hamlin is the head and front of the institution, instead of spending his time in honestly building up the several departments, putting brick and mortar foundations under those glittering promises—castles in the air—with which he dazzled the students when he assumed the management of affairs—$200,000 gymnasium, laboratories, libraries, etc., etc. instead of endeavoring to do even some small part of this, his efforts have been confined to filling vacancies THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. on the trustee board with members of his own church, to changing the personnel of the committees, revising the rules and by-laws and using political methods to centralize and perpetuate the power in his own hands, and last of all, not satisfied with manufacturing titles (imposing titles) to head every university announcement, it is said he is about to appear in the next catalogue as (Lord) Chancellor of the university. "Hail! King that is to be." The Colored people all over the country, wherever the facts are known are of one mind as regards this question; they are not alone, for it is confidently believed that the white trustees are not a unit for Gordon's retention. The friends of this university need not give up hope for the changem ust come; in the meantime, let us adopt the words of Garrison: Agitate, agitate, agitate. 'One who has not other interest but the present and future welfare of the students.' Wanted the Job Completed. Andrew Pinkham, a well known farmer of North Monmouth, Me., one of the town's solid men, and at one time state senator, used to tell the following story on himself: "When I was a young man, my brother Amsa and myself were plowing one day. I was holding the plow. Amsa was driving, and my father was having general oversight of the job. It was very rocky ground. I was rather stout and was getting about winded. Finally I could stand it no longer, and between gasps I called out, 'For thunder sake, stop those horses, Amsa; you're yanking the devil out of me.' Father looked up, and, in his moderate way, sald, 'Drive on Amsa; drive on.'" John Sherman as a Financier. The late John Sherman showed his talent for financiering at an early age. He and two of his brothers had been given a sum of money with which to pay their board for a week while on a shooting trip at the house of a farmer, near Lancaster, Ohio, their home. The week ended, John ordered the wagon and prepared to pay his board. But the farmer refused the money, saying that the sons of Judge Sherman would always be welcome guests. When John found he did not have to pay his board he sent the wagon back to the barn and remained another week. Small Coins. The natives of the Malay peninsula have in use the very smallest current coin in the world. It is a sort of wafer, made from the resinous juice of a tree, and is worth about one tenthousandth of a penny. The smallest metal coin in circulation at the present day is the Portuguese three-reis piece, worth twelve one-hundredths of a penny. The smallest coin circulating officially in any part of the British empire is the five-milesima piece of Gibraltar, worth about half a farthing. Where Inventor Got Idea. It was from watching his wife fold up a pair of stockirgs that the inventor of the modern india rubber to bacco pouch first got his idea. Qualifications for Balloonists.

The Americans in London finding no other outlet for their gambling instincts have introduced cab poker, which seems bound to become popular. Any day, sitting outside the leading hotels, a group of men may be seen scrutinizing the cabs as they roll up and then passing money from one to the other. The game is simplicity in itself, as it can be played publicly without the slightest danger of discovery and its adherents are daily increasing. All the cabs in London have a number. Those with numerals ranging from one to nine are counted as cards. Zeros are arbitrarily given the values of tens or jacks. The way to play the game is for each man to take a cab in turn. The number that contains the best poker hand wins. For instance, three men are playing. The first has its number 12,345. The second has 11,126 and the third 15,511. The third cab would win, having a full house, three aces and a pair of fives against the straight of number one and three aces of number two.—Cleveland Leader. All Kind of Music to Order. Henry Smart, the English composer, played a fine organ in a London church and his recital after service attracted much attention, but one morning after a selection from one of Mozart's masses a church warden came into the organ loft and "begged to inform Mr. Smart that they had decided that they could not have such jiggy stuff played in their church." "Very well, sir," was the answer, "it shall be altered." Next Sunday dirgellike sounds proceeded from the organ and the warden congratulated the player on the solemn and elevating effect of the music. "I am glad you like it," observed Mr. Smart. "Doubtless if I play it a little quicker you will see the reason why it affected you." And, suiting the action to the word, the popular strains of "Jump, Jim Crow," resounded from the organ. After this Henry Smart played what he liked. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Too often the board of directors falls to direct. Play Cab Poker. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Lacy, Proprietors. Phone Main 3785.

All women like good things—and most men come under that head. No married woman is ever as happy as she thinks her husband thinks she is.

The DuBois Womens' Reading club has under headway a very creditable library. Their membership is limited to twelve, and they expect to get out a yearly calendar. "The Noble Outcast," at St. John's Baptist Church Thanksgiving night, played to a full, and a most appreciative house. Miss McCline Collins as "France," and Geo. Gater as "Jerry, the Noble Outcast," were received with hearty applause, and depicted their characters faultlessly. No more dramatic scene can be imagined than that on which the curtain falls in the third act, when "Jerry" though hand-cuffed, defends his daughter. Robt. Fleming as "Jack Worthington," made an ideal love maker. C.D.Muse, the "Villian," was excellent. L L. Duncan as "Colonel Lee," was seen to an advantage in his dramatic ability.

D. Tillman, was well rendered and splen didly portrayed by her. Little Bessie Hall as "Caline," was exceptionally good showing a depth for this young actress which will not be easily duplicated. The "Masterpiece" was indeed good. Mrs. Julia Emery as "Cilly," created much laughter and deafening applause. Messrs. Faw and Andrews acquitted themselves creditably, and in all everyone covered themselves with glory. The music was an especial good feature. Mesdames Tillman and Pratt's management was highly commended. As To The Leopard's Spots By Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Thomas Dixon, Jr. refuted and ably answered.

Abolished by Constitutional Convention Early in Century. Ohio is the only state in which the governor does not possess the power of veto, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. The story dates back nearly 100 years to the time when Arthur St. Clair was the territorial governor of Ohio. In those days the fee for a marriage license in Ohio was $2, and according to the law such a fee went into the pockets of the governor. The general assembly finally decided to repeal the statute, and not desiring to deprive the governor of this particular source of revenue, two bills were passed, one repealing the law permitting the governor to annex the marriage license fee and the other increasing his salary a proportionate amount. But the governor, with a keen eye for the main chance, signed the bill raising his salary and vetoed the bill depriving him of the marriage fees. The general assembly passed the vetoed bill over the governor's protest, but Mr. St. Clair was sustained by the legislative council. There was a general mix-up for a while and later the constitutional convention met and abolished the veto power. Fifty years later, in 1852, another constitutional convention was held, but all attempts to incorporate a veto power into the state constitution were defeated. FOR THE MAN AT THE CASE. Elaborate System Intended to Ensure Correctness. Mr. W. A. Harper, "a corrector for the press," in an article on "Proof Reading" in the Printers' Register, gives a specimen of how the reading boy deals with the productions of the Poet Laureate in the way of business: Double quotes You smallcaps mus' wake an' call me hurlycom call me hurlycom mother dearsem (sniff).

This apparent jargon is the result of reading by "caps and points," so as to insure absolute accuracy in the minutest details of punctuation, capitalization, etc. "Com." is the reader's contraction for "comma;" "sem." for "semicolon;" "pos." for "apostrophe," and so on.—The Publishers' Circular.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Nothing beats a good wife—except bad husband. A man who gets his pay in advance never works overtime. Fear not the bold man who uses his tongue instead of a sword. If all men were wise the gold brick industry would cease to flourish. Values of commodities depend on whether you want to buy or sell. A juvenile idea of a hero is a bad little boy who keeps pestering a good one. Some men were born about a hundred years too soon to suit their neighbors. Beware of the man who speaks of the shortcomings of his neighbor with tearful eyes. Some men never wander from their own firesides because they dwell in steam-heated flats. He who boasts that he never kissed a girl may be telling the truth, but nobody envies him. When a man is financially embarrassed he is apt to feel sorry that he has friends who only feel sorry for him. Occasionally a man earns a living without getting it, but more often he manages to get a living without earning it. Take care of your pennies while young and give some chap a chance to bunko you out of your dollars when you get old.—Chicago News. SERMONETTES. Charity certainly covers a multitude of sins, but it doesn't remove them. To whatever extent any person is able to annoy you, to that extent you are his slave. If thoughts are things, it adds greatly to the comfort of life that they are invisible things. Epictetus said, "May it never be my lot to have a wise fool for my friend." How the same longings of the human heart surge through the centuries. The man who never drinks, gambles and dissipates may not be any better than the one who does all three; but he is bound to be more successful. Our high-pressure business and industrial life is making us a temperance nation. The man who wants to keep up with the procession has no vitality to waste. The human body attains a certain height and then stops growing. There is not necessarily any such limitation on the mind, although the majority of people one meets would induce one to think so.

NANNIE WELLS Recorder. SALUTATORY OF THE LIBERATOR. Which Will Be Read at Citizens' Celebration at Faneuil Hall, Dec. 11. (From First Issue of The Liberator.) In the month, of August I issued proposals for publishing The Liberator in Washington city; but the enterprise, though hailed in different sections of the country, was palsied by public indifference. Since that time, the removal of The Genius of Universal Emancipation to the seat of Government has rendered less imperious the establishment of a similar periodical in that quarter. During my recent tour for the purpose of exciting the minds of the people by a series of discourses on the subject of slavery, every place that I visited gave fresh evidence of the fact that a greater revolution in public sentiment was to be effected in the free states—and particularly in New England—than at the south. I found contempt more bitter, opposition more active, detraction more relentless, prejudice more stubborn, and apathy more frozen than among slave-owners themselves. Of course, there were individual exceptions to the contrary. This state of things afflicted, but did not dishearten me. I determined, at every hazard, to lift up the standard of emancipation in the eyes of the nation, within sight of Bunker Hill and in the birthplace of liberty. That standard is now unfurled; and long may it float, unhurt by the spoilations of time or the missiles of a desperate foe—yea, till every chain be broken and every bondsman set free. Let southern oppressors tremble—let their secret abettors tremble—let their northern apologists tremble—let all the enemies of the persecuted blacks tremble. I deem the publication of my original prospectus unnecessary, as it has obtained a wide circulation. The principles therein inculcated will be steadily pursued in this paper, excepting that I shall not array myself as the political partisan of any man. In defending the great cause of human rights, I wish to derive the assistance of all religions and of all patries. Assenting to the "self-evident truth" maintained in the American Declaration of Independence "that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain inallienable rights—among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," I shall strenuously contend for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population. In Park street church, on the Fourth of July, 1829, in an address on slavery, I unreflectingly assented to the popular but pernicious doctrine of gradual abolition. I seize this opportunity to make a full and unequivocal recantation, and thus publicly to ask pardon of my God, of my country, and of my brethren, the poor slaves, for having uttered a sentiment so full of timidity, injustice and absurdity. A similar recantation, from my pen, was published in The Genius of Universal Emancipation at Baltimore, 1829. My conscience is now satisfied. I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen—but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retract a single inch—and I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO It is pretended that I am retarding the cause of emancipation by the coarseness of my invective and the precipitancy of my measures. The charge is not true. On this question my influence, humble as it is, is felt at this moment to a considerable extent and shall be felt in coming years—not perniciously, but beneficially—not as a curse, but as a blessing, and posterity will bear testimony that I was right. I desire to thank God that he enables me to disregard "the fear of men which bringeth a snare" and to speak his truth in its simplicity and power. And here I close with this fresh dedication: Oppression! I have seen thee face to face, And met thy cruel eye and cloudy brow; But the soul-withering glance I fear not now— For dread to prouder feelings doth give place Of deep abhorrence! Scorning the disgrace Of slavish knees that at thy footstool bow, I also kneel—but with far other vow Do hail thee and thy herd of hirelings base: I swear, while life-blood warms my throbbing veins. Still to oppose and thwart, with heart and hand, Thy brutalizing sway-till Afric's chains Are First and Freedom rules the rescued land, Trampling oppression and his iron rod; Such is the vow I take-so help me God! (The Guardian.) HERSHAW TO SPEAK ON GARRISSON AT MANASSAS. The Wm. Lloyd Garrison association which is organized to help the Manassas Industrial school, Manassas, of which Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard is president, will celebrate Garrison's birthday on the evening of Dec. 11. Prof. L. M. Hershaw will be the principal speaker. Mr. F. H. M. Murray is chairman of committee. George III and the Parrot. The habit acquired by parrots on board ship of cursing and swearing, and making use of other objectionable language, is a matter of common knowledge. Lord Howe had just returned from his great victory, and King George III and his consort, Queen Charlotte, honored him with a visit on board his ship. Among other treasures brought home by the admiral was a parrot famed for its talking, which was always kept hung up in the admiral's stateroom. Their majesties were called on to see the wonderful bird, but, unfortunately, Polly, who was no respecter of persons, broke out in a torrent of foul and obscene language. The queen was hurried out of the cabin, whilst Polly was sent sprawling off her perch by the admiral. Business in the Home. The adoption of business principles in the home is not only one of the ways to obtain happiness, it is the only way, says Good Housekeeping. We are speaking now of the average household composed of an average man and an average woman. And here is the first step toward happiness: First, the husband must have the absolute right to refuse money to the wife; second, the wife must have the absolute right to demand money from the husband. It doesn't look like affection, it doesn't seem connubial. But analyze it.

Just as colored businesses are the logical result of the prejudice which exists in this country, and receive patronage because of it no less than for whatever merit they have, so the latest commercial venture among our people in this city, The Citizens Investment Company will answer to a demand which our people have for proper treatment in real estate transactions. Under present conditions renting is difficult at best and is more costly for us than for whites. Even purchase is more difficult than for them, and for these two reasons there is need of some institution like The Citizens Investment Company. In eastern cities similar ones have solved the rental problem. Out of them have grown the most diversified of commercial ventures which have been profitable for our people As an opportunity for the race lover in this community to show his worth the Company is the best possible thing. May it live long and prosper. Miss Winfred Harrison is reported no better. Mrs. L. Lord, who has been very sick, is able to be out. Mrs. Marchbanks is sick at the home of her sister, Mrs. Marshall. John Mumford was in Colorado Springs Sunday. Mrs. Susie Donaldson has returned from Denver. Mrs. J. P. Watson went to Sugar City Saturday to hold meeting. Mrs. Gatewood took her two children, who have been sick, to the ranch last Wednesday for recuperation. Mr. Johnson, accompanied by his wife and daughter spent Thanksgiving with his son, Harry Johnson of Bessemer. They will return to their home in Dewitt, Mo, the last of the week. Mr. Johnson is a brother of Mrs. Gatewood. 7 ____ Mrs. North visited the W. C. T. U. meeting Wednesday and addressed that organization. A paper by Mrs. Holley on Good Citizenship, was highly commended. Mrs. Jefferson spoke. The seventh anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. J. E. Ford at Zion Baptist Church was celebrated last Sunday by appropriate exercises. His has been a record breaking pastorate in several particulars. First of all in its length. Then his administration has been marked with unusual cordiality and unity among the members, with resulting improvement in the spiritual and financial welfare. Success is so rarely an accident that the conclusion follows that Rev. Ford is deserving of all the good things which attend him and of all the praise we can bestow. His interest in public matters outside the realm of church work also entitle him to consideration and we hope Thanksgiving dinners were served at all the churches. The committees express themselves as pleased with the results. Regulate Prices of Medicine. In Prussia the price of medicine is regulated by the state, a new price list being published every year.

His funeral was held Sunday afternoon from Zion Church under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Lodge, No.1, A.F. & A.M., of which he was a member. The church was crowded to the doors with sympathizing friends and the prosession which followed the remains to Riverside was one of the longest in the history of Denver. The floral offerings were numerous. Among them was a "Gates Ajar," from the City Highway department with which he was connected for the last fifteen years. Ano:her was from his lodge in which for eighteen years he held the position of treasurer. As a good citizen an exemplary head of family, he will long be remembered with kindness and his bereaved wife and children will be not the only ones to feel his loss. Eight sons and three daughters besides the more distant relatives are left to solace the widow. They return their sincerest thanks to the many friends who brightened his last days and assisted in the funeral.
