FREDERICK DOUGLASS' OLD HOME FREDERICK DOUGLASS' OLD HOME THE HOME OF THE MAYOR At Anacostia, with Its Historical Associations to be Made a Permanent Memorial to that Great Statesman and the Negro People. EIGHTEENTH YEAR. At Anacostia, with Its FROM THE PRESS BUREAU The Brownsville investigation is now in progress before the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate, and thus far, the testimony adduced tends to show that the citizens and not the soldiers "shot up the town of Brownsville" on the fatal night of August thirteenth, 1906. The non-commissioned officers who have testified have been straightforward and honest in their testimony, showing in no way any trace of intention to deceive. All of this leads us to reiterate our former belief that the soldiers are innocent of any wrong doing in connection with the Brownsville affair. The American people should be grateful to Senator Foraker for the effort he has made and is making to get at the truth about the case. He DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY FEB. 15, 1907. is making a great fight for the right and we trust he will win. The St. Cecilia Circle of the St. Luke's Episcopal Church gave an entertainment at True Reformer's hall on last Thursday evening for the benefit of the St. Luke's church. A small sum was realized, and all who attend the affair had a pleasant evening. On Monday night of this week the Colored Young Women's Christian Association gave a drama for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a home for the Association. Miss Eula Ross, the chairman of the entertainment committee deserves much credit for the success of the drama and the consequent help to the cause of human uplift. The bill filed by Mr. F. L. Cardozo in the equity court last week came on for hearing Monday, and the court held that there was no equity shown in the bill; that the remedy for Car- Presidential bees are buzzing in many bonnets now-a-days, but Foraker and Fairbanks seem to have the lead. They represent the conservative elements in the Republican party of old( and we believe they are going to carry the party to victory this approaching election. No man put forward by the President can hope to win the presidency. The hope was once entertained that with the south united with the north upon the Negro problem and the place which he should occupy in the body politic, the way would be clear for the man whom the president put forward to win in ```markdown ``` MAN FIVE CENTS A COPY HOME Memorial to that Great the race. But the nation has a sense of justice and will not be decoyed from it because of ambitions on the part of the chief executive of the nation. In the future, when the question is asked what kept the president from "landing his man?" the answer will come, "Brownsville;" and there will rise from the throats of ten million black persons the united call for Foraker of Ohio, the greatest man in public life today. It now seems that the president is not going to appoint a colored man to a prominent office in Ohio. In the discussion of the appointment of a colored man much has been said that was calculated to make the colored people of Ohio appear ridiculous. Barbers and artisans were put above Charles W. Chesnut, the ablest writer we have, the wisest and strongest since Douglass, and some of the best men in the country were ignored and mention was made of a subsidized Continued on page 16 WILL KNOW BETTER HEREAFTER Young Men Come Off Second Best In Encounter With Poreupine. Literally living pin-cushions and filled with porcupine quills from their ankles to their thighs, Burt Seavey and Cullen Jorden, of Scarboro, were taken to a Portland physician for treatment after a battle with two giant "Maine hedgehogs," which they had encountered in a wood road while returning from work. The physician plucked more than 35 quills from the legs of each man, but no serious results are expected, unless blood poisoning sets in. As soon as the two young farmers came upon the porcupines, just before dusk, they picked up clubs and started for the animals. The hedgehogs, as they are called hereabouts, jabbed their needle-pointed quills into the farmer's legs. The young men responded with a short, but sharp attack with their clubs, but the hedgehogs proved to have the better weapon and carried the day. Although one of them was left stretched out on the ground, the other retreated triumphantly and in good order, master of the situation, while the two agriculturists limped home and out of harm's way as speedily as possible.—N. Y. World. CRITIC MAY BE FOOLED. Alexander Pope Showed It in Days of Old. What can be more mirth-provoking than the naive simplicity with which a pompous critic, who prides himself on his lynx-eyed acuteness, will sometimes walk into a trap that has been set for him? When Alexander Pope was translating Homer, he read, by request, several books of the "Iliad" to Lord Halifax—whom he characterizes as a literary coxcomb—at his house. During the reading his lordship several times stopped the poet and suggested that certain passages might be improved. Perplexed and irritated by the advice, the poet withdrew with Garth, who laughed heartily at the incident, and told him to leave the verses just as they were—to call on Halifax a month later, thank him for his criticisms, and then read again the verses to him unaltered. Pope followed this advice, saying to Halifax that he hoped his lordship would now find his objections removed—upon which Halifax, delighted, cried out: "Ay, now they are perfectly right; nothing could be better."—Success. Facts Small But Diverting. The Saturday Review never wearies of jibes at America, at American millionaires and canned shoes. Its brains never refuse to invent epithets for us not at all smooth and flattering. All evil practices originate in America, as the Review sees the world. Is food adulterated in any country?—if the importation itself is not from America, the idea is. The Cosmopolitan is led to wonder, then, if the Saturday Review noted in another London print, by daily issue, a conversation heard in the London slums and of this import: Social Worker, visiting home, to young woman—What do you work at?

City News THE GRIM MESSENGER The Number of Deaths Since our Last Issue is Sad Indeed. Death of Miss Williams. One of the largest funerals in many days was that of Miss Lizzie Williams, which was held at Shorter church Sunday afternoon over the AwhC.dy Sunday afternoon. She was an old citizen, a member of Shorter choir for fifteen years and a faithful worker for the church and in many other good causes. Death came peacefully to relieve her suffering, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Spratlin, who cared for her in her last days with every attention, but in vain. She was sincerely mourned by a large number of friends for her industry, her pleasing disposition and her womanliness will be missed. The funeral was in charge of Undertaker Gilmore, with Rev. Dyett the officiating minister. She was buried at Fairmount. Mrs. Bell. Death has called many in the past few weeks, but none who will be more missed and whose demise was more unlooked for than Mrs. Newton Bell. She was the beloved wife of one of the old citizens and though she has not been in good health for years, yet she bore up so well and was so cheery that few knew of how much she suffered. Only Sunday she was about and on Monday was herself called. The funeral was held at Shorter church, of which she was a member, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Dyett officiating. Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. A. R. Wilson died last Thursday evening at her home on Lincoln avenue. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the undertaking parlors of I. N. Rogers. Her husband, who is one of the well known fraternal men, her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Harris, and her son, Garfield, who is now in Chicago, have the sympathy of a whole community, for she was known to all who have made this their home for any length of time. She was a good housewife and an exemplary wife and mother. Rev. Dyett was in charge of the services. Beatrice Williams.

Mrs. Hill is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Granger, one of the best known and most exclusive families of Galveston. She is also a sister of Mrs. C. Granger Harris, who is also widely known, not only in Galveston, but in many eastern cities because of her artistic work in embroidery and hand painting.

Utilizing a Mud Turtle A feat which in ingenuity equals that of Solomon, who, tradition says, threaded an intricately pierced stone by means of a hair tied to a living worm, is reported by an up-state engineer. "A long sewer in an up-state city recently became clogged," he says. "The problem of clearing it was solved in this way: A ball of twine was tied to the shell of a mud turtle, the little animal was put into the entrance of the sewer and a stream of water was turned on. The turtle burrowed its way through the refuse, was 'watered on' at each manhole, and emerged victorious at the outlet. A rope attached to the twine, a swab, and strong arms accomplished the rest swiftly and economically."—New York Times. Colored Elks Win Out. Rice Lodge of Elks has taken out papers of incorporation under the laws of this state. They were victorious over the white Elks who set up a fight against granting their petition.

Samoa has been made to seem large for the most part through the distance at which it has been viewed. From the first the Pacific has been regarded as the home of romantic ideas which should cast a rosy glow over the deeds of those who, in other seas, would have been justly punished as beachcombers, mutineers. The "Kingdom of Samoa" made a respectable figure among the list of the countries of the world, and His Majesty Malietoa looked quite royal on the postage stamps. It was only on nearer view that it was found that King and kingdom were in a very shabby state, that the King was often hard-up on his regal wages of $48.60 a month, that the Queen took in washing to help out, and that all would have been better off had it been possible to set the whole kingdom at some such productive work. From the distant viewpoint the Samoans have been made to appear as a noble race of men, filled with high aspirations, generous, capable of governing themselves if only they are protected from the rapacity of the whiteman. It is only on the nearer view that it is seen that with more truth it might be said of them that they are greedy, grasping, puffed up with a sense of their own importance, untruthful and never to be relied upon, for no obligation has been found which has proved sufficiently solemn to bind them. From Samoa Uma by Llewellen Pierce Churchill. Squirrel Colony. Brandywine Manor has a large colony of gray squirrels, but no shooting is permitted near the village, the squirrels being the pets of all the residents of the place. A number of years ago the late William Rettew, who resided in the village, discovered a number of squirrels in the garret of his house and cared for them. Then he became embued with the idea of protecting all the squirrels in the vicinity. In the garret he arranged neat nests for them, and fed all that came. The number multiplied rapidly and they gradually established homes in the trees in the woodland near his home. The worst enemy of the gray squirrel is the red squirrel, and Mr. Rettew began a war of extermination against the latter, which he kept up until his death. Then his son continued the work, and to-day there are hundreds of gray squirrels in the woods for a mile around the village, but few red ones. Every resident considers it his duty to kill a red squirrel wherever found. During the summer the animals may be seen playing about the trees in every direction, and they are often found in the houses of the residents. Philadelphia Press. Scientific Point Settled. The evolution of color in flowers, which has long been thought to depend upon the necessity of attracting the honey-consuming insects in order that the flowers might be fertilized, is now shown to have no such influence by Plateau, the Belgian professor. Using a species of poppy, he clipped the petals from thirty out of a group of 100 flowers without touching them. The poppy flowers thus carefully prepared were watched and the number and kinds of insects visiting them noted. At the same time the intact flowers were similarly watched Tak- ing the average each of the thirty petalless flowers received 4.5 visits, each of the seventy normal flowers received 2.4 visits. So great, indeed, appeared to be the attraction of these petalless flowers that on many occasions Prof. Plateau has seen more than one bee in a single flower. Women to the Rescue. Feeling that the building committee for the repairs of the St. Paul's United Evangelical church at Pine Grove, Pa., undertook too expensive repairs at a cost of $6,000, the trustees of the church have refused to indorse paper to raise money for expenses incurred. To relieve the embarrassment of the pastor, the women members have indorsed these notes and has organized an active "baking society," pledging to raise $250 a year, thereby hoping not only to cancel the debt, but as they say, to put to shame the men financially able for refusing support. The "baking society's production consists of "devil food," "angel cake," "shoo fly" and pies. The New Fad. "What did you do with my samples of pyrography?" asked the girl who had just returned from college. "What is pyrography, darter?" queried her rural pa. "Why, pyrography is the art of burning wood." "Gosh! Then I helped yeou. I put all the samples in the stove." Bribery Charges Well Made. Recently the election of M. Truy to the French chamber of deputies from Montreuilsur-Mer was declared void on account of bribery. One million six hundred thousand glasses of liquor were alleged to have been distributed to voters in his interest. The Belief Was Mutual. "Young man," said the professor, as he grabbed frisky junior by the shoulder, "I believe Satan has got hold of you." "I believe he has," was the quick reply. Not Congenial. The Cook—"You did not like your last mistress?" The Maid—"No; she did not have enough family secrets for me to try to find out." "I makes the seeds out er wood. The public don't like jam without seeds."—Boston Transcript. Evergreens Need Protection. All evergreens suffer in winter from warm weather and drying winds, which cause their leaves to evaporate moisture faster than it can be supplied by the roots, which may be in frozen ground. The yellow color of evergreens in winter is usually a sign of distress, and bronzing is a sign of imperfect hardness or of willingness to drop the leaves for a while in order to withstand the winter. The best way to protect rare and costly evergreens is to plant them behind a windbreak or amid a group of other trees. The prevailing winter wind is usually from the northwest. All conifers, whether hardy or not, are glad to be mulcted with eight or ten inches of leaves or coarse manure.—Garden Magazine. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. Morning worship at 11 o'clock.

Negro editor for the place. But it seems the policy in certain quarters to injure the Negro by making the appointments as odious as possible to the white people. It is in keeping with the southern tour and the "Brownsville Affray." Mr. Napoleon Marshall of Boston is to be congratulated for the service he has rendered the country and the Colored people of America in the case of the discharged soldiers of the battalion of the twenty-fifth infantry. He has worked hard and faithfully, showing that courage and devotion to the cause which is so necessary in this period and this case. We often hear the question asked: "Are you in the swim? Have you been introduced into Washington Society?" The answer comes back, "No." But to one who has lived here, there comes the question, After all, what is there in it? Many things which will make you blush for shame. There is an effort to be funny, and in the effort many people are ludicrous, and many times coarse; but they pass it by and callit being social. To the more refined, to those who have a memory of the simple life of other days, it all seems sad. It leads us to say to the young who may come to the capital of the nation to live, put in your time in study, store up knowledge for the future, for the time will come when you will need it. If you are ready, when the time comes, you can make your way, make an impression for good upon the world. But do not think that there is anything in this so-called society. It is a delusion and a snare. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Denver, Colo., Feb 10, 1907.

Our presiding elder, Rev. H. South, will be at his best that day and it will be a spiritual treat to all who love the good old way. REV. J. E. WILLIAMS.

There was no red tape to get the benefit. I think the Commonwealth Life is all right. Yours truly, (Signed) IRVING BYRON. In Loving Memory of Elder S. W. Byrd Who Departed This Life a Few Days Ago in Pueblo. He leaves a vacant seat, and an empty chair. His dear loving wife and two daughters and two sons and a host of friends mourn his loss, but our loss is heaven's gain. Elder and Mrs. Byrd were my neighbors while I lived in Trinidad. I was under his pastorate one year and nine months. They were to me as a mother and father. Elder Byrd was a blessing to the church and the community. He was a man of God. He did unto others as he would have them do unto him. He always had a kind word and strangers loved to hear him. Be careful how you entertain strangers for you may be entertaining angels unaware. I believe that he has gone to the land of Beulah, where the flowers bloom forever and the sun is always bright. It was such a loving picture to see him in the midst of his flowers. Said in loving memory by Mrs Laura Brown. THE ELK CLUB THE EVERY ACCOUNT phone Main 5154 Agent L, I THE UNI Ma EVERY ACCOMMODATION FOR PLEAS A Home for Strangers Phone Main 5154.

EASY RIDING. e @rsonprion: Made in all sires, It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a tpecial quality of rubber which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice ina whole season, They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That “Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent “Rasket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $5.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.50 per paif, All orders shipped same day letter ia received We ship CG D on approval You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented We will allow a cash discovnt of 5 Percent (thereby making the price 84.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASIT WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement.

COLORADO'S GREATEST RACE PAPER News from all parts of the West. GREAT FALLS FLOOD. On Friday, about three o'clock, the worst flood for years came upon the city suddenly. The Chinooks had been flowing for two days, together with the heavy snows that had fell, and the lakes that the boys had made about town for skating purposes, all seemed to melt away at one time, and without warning the low part of the city was in the midst of a great flood, The A. M. E. church is entirely surrounded with water. Rev. J. H. C. Redd was caught in the parsonage, Mrs. Redd was down town, on coming home she found that part of the city flooded, people were being taken out of their homes by wagons, horses and hacks. Mrs. Redd, on seeing her husband in the parsonage, quickly secured a team and three of the Sunday school, boys went to the pastor's rescue, but the horse not being shod, quickly went down when he struck the high water. The pastor and boys got the horse out and then J. W. Doberson's team came and took them all out. Except for a good ducking, no damage was done. The Reverend has a slight cold. It will be some time before they can get to the parsonage or church. In the meantime Rev. and Mrs. Reed are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. McCracken. On Wednesday last the Ladies' Aid Society had their monthly pound party for the pastor. Those who donated were, Mrs. Steve Williams and family, Mrs. J. W. Roberson and family, Mr. and Mrs. McCracken, Mrs. Sam Porter, Mrs. Dave Knott, Mrs. Henretta Johnsonfl Mr. Taylor and Mr. Hagan. Mrs. Harry Johnson was taken out to the hospital this week. Mr. John Bigbee is among the sick. This makes the eighth member of that family that have been sick in the last two weeks. Mrs. V. M. Brooks is still among the sick. Mrs. J. D. Gainey, Mrs. J. Smith and Mrs. Jones are all recovering slowly. Mr. Dave Knott, Sr., is on the sick list. Mrs. P. Groves has departed for other fields of miners. Mr. Johnson departed from his place of boarding quickly a few evenings ago. Three pieces of furniture was added to the parsonage this week by the Ladies Ald Society. Rev. Redd was the happy recipient of a good warm suit of clothes, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Gainey and friends. We wish to thank the boys, namely, Arthur Williams, Willie Roberson, Spergun Carmel and Henry White, who came to their assistance, during the flood.—Rev. and Mrs. Redd. Mrs. J. S. McCracken entertained the L. A. S. of G. F. on Thursday evening. A delightful time was had by all. Music was the main feature of the evening. New Mexico. The Colored population of Las Vegas is progressing nicely under their leader, Rev. Wm. Solly, in a great many ways, especially in their church affairs. Mrs. J. P. Watson was in our midst last Wednesday and organized an aid society for the benefit of the church. Starting with thirty members after installation of officers, an elaborate luncheon was served in honor of Rev. Solly and Mrs. Watson. It was one of the grandest affairs that the people of Las Vegas ever witnessed. The people are always glad to welcome Rev. and Mrs. Watson, and sorry to see them make their departure. Mr. Charles Johnson is on the sick list, suffering from lung trouble. Mr. Frank Martin, who was sick, departed for his home in Topeka, Kans., and died shortly after reaching there. Mrs. Frank Carrol, nee Mrs. Uper, is able to be out again. Miss Minnie Smith is suffering with neuralgia of the brain. There is quite a number of arrivals in the city, but the writer has been unable to learn their names. As Rev. Solly has worked so faithful since he has been in our midst, every one should come forward and assist him in trying to raise the required amount for the indebtedness of the church. Under the new administration of Rev. Solly, Mrs. Watson said that Las Vegas was equal to Pueblo, as to our church affairs. FROM MISSOURI?"

Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort Whist, pool, chess checkers and other pastime games Will Be Broken Up and Made Into Souvenirs. The famous old cup yacht America is breaking up from time's ravages and will soon be a thing of the past. She is owned by Congressman Ames, who inherited her from his father-in-law, the late Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, and the boat will be chipped into souvenirs for yachtsmen all over the country. If America had not been built and gone across the Atlantic to wrest the "blue ribbon of the seas" from the crackerjack yachtsmen of the other side, there would to-day be no Rellance making ready to defend the America's cup. The staunch little craft brought the coveted cup to these shores and lifted it into the position of an international trophy. This was in 1851 and for half a century the wonderful boat did duty as sturdily and as proudly as any other yacht that sailed. The America crossed to France in twenty-one days and was refitted, for greater secrecy, in Havre. Her speed having been noted, it was impossible to arrange for her any match races. In the regatta off Cowes which she finally entered, eighteen yachts took part, ranging from the cutter Aurora, of forty-seven tons, to a great three-masted schooner of 292 tons. There was no time allowance. The course was around the Isle of Wight, a treacherous lane of flawy winds and intricate, fierce tides. It took the victor nearly eleven hours to sail over it. The Aurora came in second. The America lost her jibtopsail early in the race. The America was designed and built early in 1851 by members of the New York Yacht club. She made her great race off Cowes in the following August and at once jumped into worldwide prominence. The cup won was valued at 100 guineas, and was given to commemorate the world's fair of that time. Six days later she won another memorable race. In the years following she was rebuilt no less than seven times, sailing in ten races of national importance, besides many minor events. The America changed hands several times and was finally purchased for $5,000 by Gen. Butler, who used her as a pleasure craft until his death. Boston Globe. Grass That "Tires." In some parts of New Mexico there grows a grass which produces a somniferous effect on the animals that graze upon it. Horses, in nearly all cases, after eating the grass sleep standing, while cows and sheep almost invariably lie down. It has occasionally happened that travelers have stopped to allow horses to feed in places where the grass grows pretty thickly and the animals have had time to eat a considerable quantity before its effects manifested themselves. In such cases horses have gone to sleep on the road, and it is hard to arouse them. The effect of the grass passes off in an hour or two, and no bad results have ever been noticed on account of it. Cattle on the ranches frequently come upon patches of this grass, where they feed for perhaps half an hour, and then fall asleep for an hour or more, when they wake up and start feeding again. The program is repeated perhaps a dozen times, until thirst obliges them to go to water. Whether, like the poppy, the grass contains opium, or whe For desirable furnished rooms, neatly kept, two porches, modern house, write 630 E.

DOULGASS has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglass and to show their love and reverence for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, embodied in his THE MASTER own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $5,400 and inter- --- TERMS. est, necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all times to the association and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mount Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by postoffice order, check, or otherwise, as soon as this communication is read. I am making this appeal by the authority of the officers of the Frederick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association, and with the approval and sympathy of Mr. Douglass' immediate family. Now is the time, when Mr. Douglass' birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country, for the race to show its love for Douglass not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive, within the next few days this money, which can be sent in sums of twenty-five cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the money has been secured to clear off the mortgage, I am sure that steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purpose mentioned. I hope that much additional money will be sent at once. All money will be promptly acknowledged with proper receipt. I shall be glad to furnish such additional information as may be desired.

A few days later Deacon Riley, who is chairman of the deacon board of the Zion church, called me up and asked that I call at his rom at the Cooper building. On arriving there he also informed me that Rev. Ford had suggested to him the uniteing of the two churches. I learn that there is dissatisfaction on the part of some members of each church.
