THE PRESS BUREAU Correspondence from Washington NINETEENTH YEAR THE PRES Correspondence is behind him. How far, it will take his mathematical genius to tell. If B. F. Williams is appointed in the public schools of the District of Columbia, then indeed have we wandered from all that is progressive and best. We want no revival of the rumors in the case of Evans and Harper. It is unthinkable that such a thing would be considered. Will Mrs. Terrell submit to it? The papers of Friday of last week were full of comments upon the contemplated disturbances consequent upon the sending of colored soldiers to New York state. It is too bad that the war secretary cannot operate his department without using venomous southern papers to stir up race hate by advertising in advance what he intends to do with his men in the ranks. On last Tuesday night a private picnic was given at Marde's Park, D. C. Miss Marie A. D. Marde, president of Bethel Literary and Historical Association, who owns the park, which, with its surrounding properties, is worth about $25,000, acted as hostess. The pleasures of the evening consisted of social games, songs and dance. The ladies of the party were Misses Julia E. and Anna Jackson, Rosa B. Childs, Amelia Bradford, of Little Rock, Ark.; Gertrude and Dolliah Lampton, G. Smallwood, A. Davis and Miss Cheesman of New York; Messrs. G. Syphax, Dr. Tignor, Lawyer Ran- --- DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1907 Norwood and R. J. Pinkett. A happy time was there that night. So pleasant was the time and so hospitable the hostess and so delightful the place that we are forced to commend the Marde's Park to all private parties, to churches, Sunday schools and societies as an ideal place for an outing and pleasure. Try it—it is superfine. Miss Marde has our thanks for the evening which she made so delightful for us all. Thursday night of last week was the occasion for the entertainment at 1421 Corcoran street, of a large party of friends in honor of visiting ladies and gentlemen. The party was given by a group of young friends upon a purely informal basis, hastily planned and gracefully and charmingly executed, giving to all present one of the most delightful times of the season. The pleasures of the evening were literary, artistic and social. Among the visiting ladies and gentlemen present were Misses Renderson of Kentucky, Cheesman of New York, Palmer of Columbia, S. C., Dr. Marshall of Chicago and Lawyer M. O. Randolph of Mississippi. Whoever arranged the evening knows how, what and when. For sometime the management of this bureau has been planning to present biographical sketches of men of color who are doing a great work for the upbuilding of our country. In presenting the men for the considera- ```markdown ``` tion of the public, we shall present the whole record and let all of whom we speak stand or fall by it. We will deal with 12 men in the order which their work for mankind naturally places them. Among these are Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, Charles W. Chestnut, Wm. Monroe Trotter, Edward H. Morris, Wm. H. Richards, C. B. Purvis, Wm. H. H. Hart, John R. Clifford, E. W. Lampton, W. T. Vernon, Bishop Abram Grant, and Booker T. Washing- 1. HON. R. W. BONYNGE Colorado's talented congressman, who though a young man, is a prominent figure in the national legislature, the principal speaker at the Emancipation celebration Tuesday night. ton. We will deal with out first character next week and thereafter in their order, according to our view. And still the news comes from the British dominions in the northwest to the effect that colorphobia and race hatred hold sway. But these are the people who are boasting of the white man's civilization, of the white man's government of the white man's superiority over other races. And in spite of all these loud protestations FIVE CENTS A COPY to this effect, the white man, the mongrel, cannot control himself, and shows by his conduct that he will be many years in attaining to the highest civilization. What the white man needs more than anything else is Christianity. In the face of the statement by Booker T. Washington that he believed in Taft and that he would be the next president, the National Negro Baptist convention, which is holding before their body on last Friday night. Evidently the body does not know what manhood means, and must have, even with E. C. Morris at its head, no real conception of character and duty to the race. For they have extended the invitation to Mr. Washington in the face of his declaration for Taft, who has shown himself the arch enemy of the race and wholly unworthy of the support of honest Americans. No more disgraceful episode ever marked the history of the church among the people of color of America. We are Baptist to the marrow, but rather than give our consent to have a man who has insulted the race by praising our arch enemy speak for us, we would sleep the sleep of death. May God forbid that we should ever betray our race by such a love of filthy lucre ; and for a hundred dollars sell the manhood rights and self-respect of the race. The whole unholy business contaminates the atmosphere of all free America. Censure. Censure pardons the ravena, but rebukes the doves.—Juvenal. The Phi Delta Chi club met last Saturday at Drs. Westbrook and Harper's office at their regular meeting. Dr. Bailey read a very interesting paper, which was discussed by all the members of the club. A project was presented by Dr. P. E. Spratlin, which it is hoped will develop very soon and be a credit to the city. Dr. W. A. Jones is president, and Dr. J. A. Harper is secretary. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. MIB ENGLISH CAME BACK. Queer Freak of Memory of Japanese Rear-Admiral. On one occasion, says World's Work, when Rear Admiral Enouye mean old Annapolis classmate in Japan he forgot all the English he ever knew, but showed his pleasure by repeatedly embracing the American swearing his affection in the purest Satsuma dialect, all the while singing old Academy songs, which, strangely enough, he seemed to remember perfectly, though he had forgotten the meaning of the words. Enouye opened a bottle of wine in the cabin of his ship, the Naniwas, where he exhibited with much pride and joy his old Academy raincoat, with Y. Enouye stenciled on it. Possibly to convey to the mind of his guest his purpose in showing this coat, though the weather was hot and clear, he rushed out on the quarter-deck and shouted, in excellent English: "Rain-coats! Cap-overs! Over-shoes and Leggins!" the astonished Japanese officers and crew looking at him as if they thought he had suddenly gone mad. Enouye had suddenly remembered the orders for rainy day dress at Annapolis. WOMEN PLOW WITH OXEN. They Have No Feeling of Degradation Over Fact. Some of the Berber tribes of North Africa yoke their women to the plow along with their oxen and make the thus work in the field. Even aged grandmothers and great-grandmothers are treated in this manner, trudging along the furrow with amazing cheerfulness. They do not feel any degradation, because they have never been used to anything else. A Berber chieftain who was remonstrated with for putting his own aunt, a woman of over 90, to work in the fields, replied calmly: "Women are bestowed by Allah for pleasure and profit. When they grow too old and ill-favored to give pleasure we turn them to profit." This is the prevailing sentiment throughout North Africa, except with some of the Bedouin and Kabyle tribes, among whom there is a more chivalrous feeling toward women. Resourceful Youth. The enterprising lad noticed an advertisement calling for a red-haired office boy, but lacked the qualification mentioned. "Say, sis," he remarked, "where'd you keep your peroxide? I've got to dye to beat this game." Cheerfulness. The sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look around cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.—William James. Bird's Natural Weapon. A now extinct species of bird which formerly inhabited Rodrigues was flightless, but an outgrowth of bone at the joint of the radius and metacarpus formed a knob that rendered the short wing as dangerous among birds as a policeman's billy. Art of Conversation. We are born to inquire after truth; it belongs to a greater power to possess it. It is not, as Democritus said, hid in the bottom of the deeps, but rather elevated to an infinite height in the divine knowledge.—Michael De Montaigne. Charles West is on the streets again with his new automobile done in red. He made a big success last year and is starting out early this season catering to all classes of transportation for passengers in automobiles. Service by the hour or by the trip. FOR SALE—A BARGAIN.

A woman writer says: "Marry a man with a good digestion and no nerves if you want a pearl of a husband. All of the seven deadly sins do not make a man as hard to live with as a genuine, well-developed case of liver. Choose, therefore, as a husband a man who is hearty and husky and who can eat three square meals a day. A preferred type of this man is the one who is frankly fond of good eating and who has a welsh rarebif recipe and a special way of making salad dressing.

The man or woman who will train the mental faculties without any reference to the physical, shows a faulty qualification for the work in which he or she may be engaged, says the Knoxville Journal. The mind may be ever so well trained and stored with knowledge of the books; but unless there is behind it a reasonably strong body, life runs the risk of being a failure; if not that, an existence of pain that serves as a limitation upon its possibilities. It is a species of cruelty to educate the mind at the expense of the body. Better let a child grow up into manhood or womanhood with an inferior education than with a better education of the mind and a body weakened in the effort. The fact that so many men in this country have succeeded in business and in professional and public life have been the sons of farmers, whose early life has been spent out of doors, has been a subject of remark; may it not be accounted for on the ground that in their boyhood their physique was developed so that in after life, besides their mental acquirements, they had strong bodies with which to do the work they have so successfully performed? This is not only possible, but very probable. ..STOCK.. AT A MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE GOLDEN CHEST MINING COMPANY IT WAS VOTED THAT OF THEIR TREASURY STOCK BE PLACED ON THE MARKET FOR A LIMITED TIME. Cause for Regret. A Scot who had been a long time in the colonies, paid a visit to his "native glen," and meeting an old school fellow the two sat down to chat about old times and acquaintances. In the course of the conversation the stranger happened to ask about a certain Gordie McKay. "He's dead long ago," said his friend, "and I'll never cease regrettin' him as long as I live." ...FOR A LIMITED TIME... "Dear me! Had you such respect for him as that?" "Na, na! It wasn't only respect! I had for himself, but I married his widow." THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PROPERTIES IN THE BOULDER DISTRICT Fought Bears with Axes. Two woodchoppers, armed with axes, had a battle with a huge black bear and four partially grown cubs on Mt. Pico, says a Rutland (Vt.) correspondent of the New York Times. They killed two cubs, but the mother and other cubs got away Luther Weeks and his son Clinton felled a large tree and it crashed down into a clump of bushes. Angry growls followed, and the four bears, who had been hibernating under the bushes, made for the men. The men fought and won. The cubs that were killed weighed 100 pounds each. The men declare the old bear was fully eight feet long and would weigh about 500 pounds.

Young Man Glad to Be Victim of the Judicial Wrath. A certain squire of a small city in Connecticut, who betrays his patriotism by presiding in a small office painted red, white and blue, had a case before him which attracted an unusual crowd to the temple of justice. A young man was up before him on a charge of stealing brass, and the prisoner's friends were out in attendance to see that he got a fair show. Before the case opened the noise and confusion became so great that his honor declared that the next man to indulge in any unusual break would be ejected from the room. He had hardly ceased speaking when a young man shouted, at the same time waving his hat above his head: "Hooray for Squire Hooligan!" "Put him out," roared the court, and in another instant the interrupter was rushed to the door. His honor ordered that the prisoner be brought before the bar for trial. The court officer hurriedly glanced about through the crowd, and then a great light suddenly fell upon him. "Can't do it, your honor," he replied. "The young fellow you just put out was the prisoner." THE Kens Reese BAUDEVILLE v Ball.. BENEFIT OF THE Building Fund October 17 erner Hall entre Successes, both on the stage tra.

An impromptu program was selected from the audience. C. A. Franklin, editor of the Statesman, warmly welcomed the new leader-director and his loyal constituents to Denver and to Mrs. Holley's residence. He expressed himself as hoping to hear as great things, if not greater, in the future of "Denver's own" as he had already heard in the past, and that he would finally become a Rubelik. Mr. "Billy Young," the comedian and tragic actor, also song writer, favored the audience with a selection, "A Wounded Soldier," which completely electrified the house, and responding to the ovation next rendered the "Kentucky Philosophy," in which he so naturally and effectively depicted the true character of an old colored lady reprimanding her son for stealing a green watermelon instead of a ripe one. Came next on the program was Mr. Ousley, the funmaker and sorrow destroyer of the show, with his monologue and song, "I Ain't as Foolish as I Looked to Be," which was so thoroughly enjoyed by the audience that he responded to five encores and finally informed the audience in song he must quit before they made a fool out of him. Mrs. Garland, a charming lady with a loud resonant contralto voice, was compelled to respond to a hearty encore after having sang so sweetly. Mr. A. W. Scott certainly put his whole soul and mind into his cornet solo, "My Mercedes," as his hearers were so impressed by the clear, distinct and melodious strains, so beautifully blended and appealing in their sound as to cause him to respond to an encore. The "Saxaphone Solo," by Mr. Osborne, made the elderly people recall the young days of courtship and reminded especially the younger set of their heart throbs of love now. The next appeared one of Denver's best contralto singers, Mrs. Lillian Jones, who was applauded to the echo three times, each time responding to the song, "Love Me and the World is Mine." Mr. Pope sweetly and gracefully showed his ability as a cornetist. During the intervals, Mr. Monroe Tompkins, the toastmaster, interspersed each number with witty yet appropriate remarks. Everybody praised the efficient and progressive ability of Prof. "Rank" as a musical director and orchestra leader. His musical genius was clearly shown when he played his own composition, "I Am Waiting for Thee." Billy Young was the author of the words and Prof. Holley of the music, as they have three songs already to put on the stage. The notable present who are musically inclined were A. A. Waller, director of Azalia Hackley Choral Society; Mrs. Ida Banks, its president; Mrs. Eliza Dishman, Miss THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. PAGE 18. MRS. T. D.

Some people have a clever way of striking a happy balance; they lose their own tempers and find other people's faults. Ingenious Angler Asserts Hypnotic Method Is Best. It isn't so hard to catch an eel. Not infrequently you will land one when you are fishing for something else. But getting him off the hook without having your line tangled and tied into innumerable knots—aye, that's the rub! When Izaak Walton wrote his treatise on the gentle art of angling, he overlooked the eel. Yet the possibilities of this squirming fish in developing patience in the fisherman are infinite. The average angler, when he has hooked one, can do nothing more than rub his hand in the dirt till it is rough with grime, seize the eel by the neck and club him to death. Meanwhile his line is all snarls and tangles. But an ingenious angler, with the nervous system of the eel in mind, has discovered a better way. The eel, properly handled, may be soothed and put into an immediate state of calm simply by rubbing him gently on the spinal column with a match or small stick. Indeed, no one who has hpynotized a crab by rubbing between the eyes will doubt for a moment that the eel may somewhat similarly be put to sleep. It is the only effective way to detach an eel from the hook. Try it! Buried Plot for Dogs. Mr William E. Chisholm, a widow of College Point, L. I., has set aside a plot on her estate for the burial of her dogs. Mrs. Chisholm's son-law is a stepbrother of the present Duke of Marlborough. Good Companion. Bookkeeper—"I asked the cashier to have a drink but he refused." Typewriter—"Yes, he reminds me of the office towel." Bookkeeper—"How is that?" Typewriter—"Never dry." Embarrassing. "Don't you feel proud since your faughter married a duke?" "Proud!" echoed Mr. Cumrox. "Not a bit of it. I'm worried to death fear I'll forget to approach the duck with proper formality." Gigantle Water-Pipe. The biggest water-pipe in the world capable, it is said, of holding any average river-is that of the Ontario Power Company on the Candian side of Niagara Falls. The gigantic pipe which is made of steel throughout, is a mile and a quarter in length and 60 feet in circumference. The steel plates from which the big tube is made have the thickness of one-half inch and in putting them together 200 tons of rivets were required. Town of Divorces The town of Plauen, in Vogtland holds the record in the matter of divorces. In one day no fewer than seventy divorce cases were dealt with by the civil court of the town, which has a population of 55,000. Every month the court is occupied with a large number of divorce cases, but in many instances the petitions are dismissed. Improvident East India. India is a nation of pawnshops.

Result of 15 years experience in tire making. No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. 1 Notice the thick rubber trous "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small puncture 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 in a 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 "Basket 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 pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel brass hand pump and two Samco metal puncture closers on full paid order (the DESCRIPTION Made in all sizes.

In loving remembrence of Hellen, beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, and a charter member of the Lady Masons, we, her sisters, deeply mourn her loss. All that was mortal is changed now and clouded forever. But how great is your comfort in the well grounded assurance that the good Shepherd that careth for His flock has taken your daughter into his fold. She was only loaned to you and must return to her Heavenly Father, for. He has said suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And oh, that you may say, I have this consolation, that she cannot return to me but I can go to her. Truely we live in a world where solemn shadows are continually falling before our pathway. But this blessed assurance teaches us the one good Lord says come unto me all ye that are wearied and heavy laden and I will give thee rest. She was the youngest amongst us, and we feel that her place can never be filled, and we will join in with the father and mother and say, Helen, sleep on. Sleep and take thy rest. Lay down your head upon the Saviour's breast. We loved you well, but Jesus loved you best. Sleep on, sleep on, sleep on.

The conditions of the planet Venus are most like those on the earth, but there is a strong suspicion that Venus has no night or day, but always keeps the same side toward the sun. If this is really the case, then the sunny side must be always burning hot and quite cry, while the opposite side must be always incased in ice—nay, more, in a mixture of ice and solidified atmospheric gases. The life of such a world must be very different from any that we know. Unique Wedding Party.

COLORADO MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION Denver, Colo. Gentlemen:—The prompt settlement of my claim with your association makes we confident that your insurance is a splendid thing for the public recommending your association. I remain respectfully. MR. PETER BOONE REMEMBER THE DATE. Sept. 27th is when Paul Lawrence Dunbar Assembly of the Commonwealth entertains again at their hall, 1712 Curtis street. If you are not a member you had better become one so you can attend their meetings. They serve ice cream and cake free to all visiting members and offer prizes for getting new members. Call up the main office, Main 52, if you want the best sick, accident and death benefit ever offered. Over 1,000 members have drawn benefits in the last year in Denver. Don't experiment with others, but ask your friends about the Commonwealth. Better call up now. THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institution that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a guarantee that the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many companies soliciting business whose resources are less than three hundred dollars, and more than twenty of them have failed during the past few years. It would appear that there is no chance of their success, in view of the fact that the people have their choice of a strong or weak concern, the cost of insuring being the same. PHOENIX SUSPENDS The Phoenix Indemnity Company, a Denver health insurance company, has finally failed, leaving a host of unpaid claims and hundreds of poor people to mourn the loss of their hard earned money. Is not this latest failure one more living illustration of the danger to the public in patronizing a company that has not made the regular deposit with the state for the protection of its policyholders? There are rumors of other failures which seem authentic, and in view of the fact that there are so many wild-cat companies, we venture to predict that in the near future no one will insure with a company not having a deposit with the state. Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlemen:I am pleased to make public the fact that I have received $108.35 in payment for injury to knee. It was a great help to me and I heartily indorse the Great Big Liberal Union Health and Accident Company. Yours sincerely, GEO. T. CLARK Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your check for $70 in payment of my claim for injury to right hand. No company as good as the Union for promptness and reliability. H. L. RINEHART.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ~~ CONFERGNCE NOTES | T*E MAN wHot@ Anes [ The annual conference of the A. M. BE. church is in session in Shorter church. Rey. J. R. Hubbard is acting as secretary. Rev. J. H. C. Redd as statistical secretary and Bishop (jrant presiding in his last year of the quad- rennium. The attendance is the larg: est in the history of the conference and at this writing every report has excelled that of last year in numbers and finance. Wednesday Bishop Grant delivered an address calling upon the ministers to renew u° evangelical work that the church might be mighty in soul power no less than in mere numbers and wealth. He predicted a great future for the West and urged that the work done now should be with the view of the tremendous pos- sibilities of the future. He enthused hig hearers and made a fit opening for this, which seems destined to be the greates: session of the Golorado conference. Wednesday night the Life Line club gave a reception In honor of the conference at which Lieut. Goy. Harper gave an address of weloome. The governor was present with the conference Thursday afternoon. The year's appointments wil! be given out Sunday. Services at the churches Sunday will be more than usually /pteresting because of the presence of the visiting ministers. Bishop Great will preach at Shorter church at 11. e. m; Rev. H. Prince at 3 p. m..and Rev, W. T. Osborn at § p. m. Rev. J. F. McDonald, D.

One of the most interesting me ments of the Conference was Thurs- day afternoon when the election of the delegates to the General Confer- ence was chosen. Rev. J. C..C. Owens was one of the two and was elected on the first ballot. The second came after several ballots and wis Rev. Dyett. Rev. J. W. Sanders and Rev. G, M. Tillman were chosen is alter. nates.

The building of a home calls for good business mind and business purpose. The partnership must be in good faith; there must be an absorbing sentiment that will continually feel its interests, a courage that will not quail before the effort that must be made to sustain it, a cheerfulness that does not falter before the monotonous round of duties that must be kept up year after year to establish it; a harmony that seeks the united interest and a courtesy that ever obeys the Golden Rule. We believe there is too much complaint entered against the exacting duties of home building. From "Laying the Foundations," by Julia Sherman Upton, in National Magazine. In the End. The road is rough, and the day is cold, And the landscape's sour and bare. And the milestones, once such charming friends. Half hearted welcomes wear. There's trouble before and trouble be- hind, And a troublesome present to mend; And the road goes up, and the road goes down. But it all comes right in the end. The heart is sick and the heart is sore For a heart to call its own; And we scrambled hard for the precious crumbs Amongst the heaps of stone. For a love's love, and a man's man, Our gold's gold would we spend; And the heart goes up and the heart goes down. But it all comes right in the end. The road goes up and the road goes down To a desolate depth below. And there's never a shred of the meanest robe On the naked ones to go. There's a heaven above, and a God of love. And a Father who will fend-- And life goes up and life goes down— But it all comes right in the end. —Westminster Gazette. Immense Exports of Cattle. If a person could get a bird's eye view of the shipping ports of this country at any day in the year he would see droves of cattle, horses and mules go thundering up gangplanks and being mauled in slings up the sides of ships. Steers and cows by the thousands stream into ships at wharves at Boston, New York and Baltimore. Mules and horses in an unending procession day after day go into ships in all the ports clean around the coast from Portland, Me., to Galveston, Tex. And still more herds go into still more ships on the Pacific shores. Rats Emigrate to South America. It is a curious habit of the rats in New Orleans to embark upon the many fruit steamers plying between here and South America, stay with he steamer until it reaches a South American port, and then precipitately eave. The captains of these boats may say that they often provide free transportation to as many as two and three hundred going down, and coming back, when loaded with fruit, they never see one. The rat population of New Orleans seems not to have suffered, however, from the migratory habits of some of its members. As Bret Harte Said. The achievement of Woo Aug. of San Francisco, who raised a draft of eight dollars to $8,000, is a refutation of the statements that the Chinese cannot adopt themselves to American ways.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "thelrs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

EMANCIPATION ALL OLD SOLDIERS INVITED. The committee in charge of the Emancipation celebration next Tuesday night at East Turner Hall, is reserving seats on the platform for all the old soldiers and requests that they come early in order that they may be escorted to the platform without interfering with the speakers. The interest in the meeting is increasing apace and the attendance will be record breaking and it is the early comer who will get seats while standing room will be at a premium. The musical features alone are such as cost much to hear on ordinary occasions and with them free and two speakers of national reputation in addition, it is certain that all of this free, gratis, and for nothing, will prove an irresistible drawing card. There is promise of the presence of representative men from out of the city to grace the occasion and among the specially invited guests are the governor and other dignitaries. There is a rallying along racial lines to make this a wonderful success that bespeaks much for the new negro for the new country. FOOLHARDINESS GONE TO SEED.

But, better still, vote with the white laboring classes, remembering that the cause of labor is the cause of black PAGE & THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. men, and the black man's cause is labor's own. It would seem to anyone that the race has a hard row to hoe without being deliberately led into foolhardiness by its so-called intelligent men. The above paragraph is a part of the address given to the world by the Niagara Movement which met in Boston this year. It goes without dispute that the men composing this organization are race lovers in the fullest sense of the word. They come from the classes of us that are remarkable for the high standard of intelligence. Yet here we find them soberly proposing to kick the stone over which we stumble by way of revenge. Progress is made after many a slip and a slide and the history of every man no less than of races bears out the statement that he who persevers, who works and waits, who seeks the path of least resistance without sacrifice of manhood, is the survivor in the fierce contest for life, much less for supremacy. Let us condemn with fervor but not throw reason to the winds. The more we see of the hot-headed utterances of dreamers and fanatics, the more we are convinced that so far from having too many leaders, the Negro race has too few. The men who would have us curse God and die because the desert is dry and hard to cross, happily have their answer in the contented plodding which is surely carrying us over, mayhap in a dumb sort of way, yet surely withal. The Yonkers Standard is the latest addition to Negro literature. It is edited by our old friend (Bruce Grit) John Edward Bruce. He starts out with long years of experience behind him, with a proved pen, and with the confidence of the race. A better equipment could not be for a race newspaper man. We look for him to succeed. His initial issue "looks good." The highest compact we can make with our fellow is: Let there be truth between us two forevermore. It is sublime to feel and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him; we need not reenforce ourselves or send tokens of remembrance; rely on him as on myself; if he did us or thus, I know it was right.—Emon.

First and second prizes were won respectively by Miss Mercer and Miss Vergie Webster, and Mr. H. Byron of the Musical Byrons, and Mr. Roy Cark. The tables were skillfully arranged and handsomely decorated with various flowers of the season, and a supper four courses served by Mrs. Vernell, assisted by Mrs. Cassel and Mrs. Hubbard, so it is needless to say it proved the event of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague chaperoned the party. Those present were Misses Ellis, Mercer, Lyons, Melcheaux, Poltchette, Anderson, Mundy, Fore Howard, Nelson Howard, Montgomery, Andrews, Jacobs, Webster, Ross, Parker and Jeanes, and Messrs.

There was a big crowd and everyone had a swell time. Two winners on the male side were both members of the None Such club and there is great elation among the club members. MANY USES OF THE BANANA. Product of Entire Tree Utilized by West Indian Natives. In this country the banana is regarded mostly as a food product, but in the West Indies the natives find a use for the entire tree, and well it serves its many purposes. When the young coffee and cocoa plants need protection from the fierce rays of the sun banana leaves give the desired shelter. Physicians and nurses use the tender, unopened leaves for dressings, and the old leaves are made into twine and boxes. In Malay the stalks and leaves are made into a soap for laundry purposes, and a solution forms a valuable salt. From banana juice and the skin of the fruit a preparation is made for blackening purposes and the juice also makes a good indelible ink. On the under side of a banana leaf a wax forms which is very valuable and is one of the export products of the island of Java. In some countries a dye stuff is produced from the ashes of the fruit and leaves and the banana fiber is used in making manila hemp, from which rope and cordage are manufactured. In Switzerland a very fine hat braid is made from this manila hemp. From these examples it is readily seen what an important place the banana holds in the world of commerce. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.
