ZION BAPTIST CHURCH WELCOMES NEW PASTOR TWENTIETH YEAR ZION BAPT WELC REV. D. D. OVERS OF ZION PREACHES STRONG SERMON WITH TELLING EFFECT HOUSE CROWDED ALL DAY. If Zion Baptist church keeps up the large attendance it had Sunday; if Rev. Overs still preaches the strong sermons which he preached Sunday night on the "Three Parables" of Jesus, the future success of Zion is assured. The crowd was there, the attention and the religious awakening was there also, and the pointed, weighty and philosophic logic was so plainly put, but that the most ignorant man could understand and get into touch with the Master. He dwelt on the parable of "lost money," which, he said, must have been taken by Jesus to show the "loss" of merely the "intrinsic value" of the money through negligence, or possibly unintentionally. The "lost sheep" exposed to the winds, rains, wild beasts, without protector and without home, unlike the other ninety and nine, must be made to show how utterly "helpless" is one who strays away or gets lost out of the flock and that the All Seeing Eye is still watching and protecting him although lost and undone. Then came the most pathetic and illumined parable, that of the "lost son," which was given to show what a "starved soul" can do spiritually when he "arises, goes back to his father and repents of his sins. He was especially impressive Sunday night. His sermon Sunday will be "Baptism." The Statesman desires to congratulate Zion on her rich acquisition in the way of the new pastor and may peace, harmony and prosperity flow like a river from now on. Rev. Countee, who has been pastoring Zion for the past three months, left this week for his son's home in Kansas City. Mo., to be at the bedside of his daughter-in-law. Rev. Countee is a unique and lovable old gentleman, whose fire of youth of doing things has not yet abated, although he is be- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MARCH 27 1909 ing burdened on by the weight of three score and ten years. Think of him holding Zion for three months! Our words are too feeble to reach his praise. We can only bid him God's speed and a remaining life of usefulness to God and man. W. C. T. U. Take Alliance Sunday—Attorney Hipp Wins Many to Cause. The Alliance is the place, a public forum where all kinds of questions are discussed, religious, spiritual, political, economic and otherwise. They gave a special day called "Temperance" day that all those who opposed the W. C. T. U. and kindred organizations in their work could have an opportunity to refute or deny or disprove anything that could or would be said in favor of the prohibition. uBt to our surprise not one single person denied anything said in the able paper by Mrs. Elmira Whizzar, who took up alcohol and gave its derivation, history and its effect upon the human body, or in the address by Attorney Hipp, who told of conditions in Colorado and throughout our country. The W. C. T. U. worked like beavers in distributing their literature among the audience. Mrs. A. L. Froman in a fitting and woman-like manner introduced Attorney Hipp, who spoke 53 minutes, showing the evil effect of drink, and after he finished many grasped his hand and pledged him their moral support in the saloon question. Mr. Clyde Andrews failed to appear. The following program was read for Sunday: Vocal solo, Mr. Harry Gilmore; address, "Essentials of American Citizenship," Hon. James Brinson, deputy attorney general; vocal solo, Miss Ruth Hoffman; literary selection, Miss Carra Karr; vocal solo, Mr. Willie Burns; literary number, Mr. Cornelius Rice, and piano solo, Miss Rhoda Anderson. April 4th will be Business Sunday and election of officers. The board of directors are requested to State Historian & Natural History Society SATURDAY MARCH 27 1909 CH N PASTOR meet at 7:30 p. m. at Dr. Jones' office, March 30th. The Alliance will convene promptly at 4 p. m. Sunday owing to the length of the program. Everybody is invited. WARD'S CHAPEL NOTES. The second quarterly meeting of Ward's A. M. E. chapel will be held at the chapel, 703 Inca street, to-morrow at 2:30 p. m. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, the presiding elder, will preach in the morning and afternoon. Dr. Randolph will preach at 7:30 p. m. The pastor and members want to make this meeting a real letter day for Ward's. Everybody is cordially invited to attend all these services. The quarterly conference will be held Monday night at 8 p. m. Strenuous efforts are being made to hold the rally on schedule time. The fourth Sunday in April is the day set to rains the required amount of money to pay off the indebtedness of the church, and from the outlook the entire church membership of Denver will have reason to rejoice that the seventeer-year-old debt of Ward's Chapel has at last been wiped out. The rally will be held at Shorter's A. M. E. church at 3 p. m. A strong sermon and special music will be features of the service. A. C. MURPHY. Pastor. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH GETS NEW MINISTER—TAKES CHARGE SUNDAY. At the Wednesday night service the new minister of Scott M. E. church was presented to the members out by Mrs. L. W. Holmes, the former pastor's wife. Rev. Wallace Carter comes highly recommended and has some very prominent relatives in this city. He is a man with a family and the entire membership has pledged him their support. The Statesman welcomes Scott's new minister and truly wishes his work will be so progressive and fruitful as to meet the needs of not only the church but to extend to the entire community. Sunday will be his first day when he will actively enter upon his duties as pastor. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY NEGRO VOTERS ACTIVE Suffrage League at Baltimore Will Fight Disfranchising Amendment. The Negro Suffrage League of the State of Maryland, at Baltimore, has begun an aggressive fight against the proposed suffrage amendment which has for its purpose the disfranchising of the colored voters of the state. Mass meetings will be held and an effort made to organize the voters throughout the state and also enlist the support of all the white voters who believe in justice and equality before the law to vote against the amendment when it comes before the people at the coming fall election. To that end the league has sent broadcast the following address to the people of Maryland: "This proposed amendment, its history, its every discussion and its main purpose, is to disfranchise the Negro voters of this state because they are Negroes, and for this reason, so freely expressed by the supporters of the amendment, it is clearly a violation of the constitution of the United States. "The educational and property qualifications supposed to apply to all voters, both white and colored, in no way present the exact intention of the amendment, it is clearly a violation of no white voter need apply for registration under either clause, and all white voters and no colored voters will find refuge under the grandfather clause, which will guarantee every white voter his vote. "Thus every white voter is protected without test as to educational or property qualifications and every colored voter deprived of his vote unless so tested, which is an absolute denial to the colored voter of his political rights. Aside from the legal phase of this amendment, it is not only an act of injustice to the colored voters of this state, but it will put a lasting stain of dishonor on white citizens. "It is manifestly unfair to deprive us of the ballot, which is admitted to be an essential to all other people for their civil development and for the protection of their lives and property. If this amendment becomes the election law of Maryland it will discourage intelligent, law abiding people of the state, who are doing what they can to better the masses of their people. "It will also increase the responsibility of the white people, who will either have to carry the burden of the colored people or permit us to decline in moral and civil life because they take from us the privilege to elect state and municipal officials so that we can demand from them protection because we have the right to vote. "In this new election scheme we see it can, if it becomes the law of the Loyal Women Aid Y.M.C.A. Woman's Auxiliary of Carlton Avenue Branch at Brooklyn Gave Successful Carnival For Association's Benefit—Fiscal Year Ends Without Deficit. The Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association at Brooklyn, N. Y., is fortunate in having an active working woman's auxiliary attached to it. The auxiliary was organized in September, 1907, for the purpose of giving financial assistance to the association, which, besides the small fee charged for membership, is supported entirely by voluntary contributions and funds raised by giving recitals, dinners and other entertainments. The aid which the auxiliary E has given since its organization has greatly facilitated the work of the association, not alone financially, but by personal help in looking after the needs of the work in other ways. At the first annual dinner of the committee of management they prepared the menu, served it and decorated the audience room with beautiful flowers and potted plants. For more than a year several of their number have served free luncheons to the members of the association at the close of the Sunday afternoon meetings. In the early fall of 1908 the ladies donated the sum of $37 to the work at a time when the association was almost in dire need of financial assistance. Feeling that they wanted to make a New Year's gift to the young men's work, the auxiliary, through its able and energetic president, Mrs. William F. Abbott, secured the Bridge Street A. M. E. church in which to give a sacred cantata last December, which was a grand success and from which they realized over $50. $40 of THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. which they turned over to Secretary R. P. Hamlin for the association. In order that the association might not close its fiscal year with a deficit, the auxiliary came to the rescue of the men by giving a three nights' miniature carnival in the parlors of the building recently, which proved to be a wise move on their part and was a brilliant financial success. The committee of arrangements, consisting of forty-two ladies, was headed M MRS. NANNIE E. SIMMONS. by Mrs. Charlotte A. Nesbitt, chairman; Mrs. Bertha Kemp, treasurer, and Miss Alice F. Thompson, secretary. Those in charge of the various tables were Miss Lydia Baker, Mrs. Bertha Kemp. Mrs. Mary J. Fergueson, Mrs. Bettie Bridges, Miss Elizabeth E. Martin, Miss Mary E. Woodson, Mrs. Ella F. Crowder, Miss Rebecca Reynolds and Miss M. Rooks. The gentlemen's furnishing department was conducted by a committee of young men. Mrs. Nannie E. Simmons, who assisted at the table of fancy goods, has been a worker for the association almost since its inception, and whenever anything is to be given for its benefit she is sure to be a helper. Negroes Angry With Gomez. The Negroes of the province of Santiago, Cuba, are much incensed over what they regard as a direct slap in their faces by President Gomez, whom they charge with having disregarded his promise made to them before the last election that they should be given 30 per cent of the public offices. "As Good as a Month at the Bawths." "We had been bidden by King Edward VII. to repair with our company to Buckingham palace to entertain him and a galaxy of British aristocracy," said Bert Williams of Williams & Walker, those famous Negro comedians, recently. "We had finished our performance of an hour and twenty minutes when King Edward gave me a slap on the back and said, 'Williams, you are as good as a month at the bawths.' I didn't know what he meant until I found out afterward that the king goes every spring to Marienbad to get toned up for the season. "I suppose the popularity of the Williams & Walker company in American and European society is due to its novelty. The men and women are in nearly every instance products of the American schools and universities. They know how to give a tasteful performance and eliminate all vulgarisms." Success In Architecture. Enviable Record of W. Sidney Pittman, Designer of Y. M. C. A. Building at Washington and of Other Costly Structures. Architect W. Sidney Pittman's design for the $75,000 Colored Young Men's Christian association building at Washington was accepted several months ago, and today the building is nearing completion. The massive A. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN. steel structure is disappearing day after day as the brickmasons progress with their work, and within a short while the most imposing Young Men's Christian association building in the world for Afro-Americans will be completed. The story of the rise of Architect Pittman is worthy of attention. He has a record in architecture that is enviable. Here are a few of the important buildings, with their cost, which were designed by him: Huntington Memorial building, Tuskegee institute, Alabama, $85,000; Negro building, Jamestown exposition, $45,000; Garfield public school building, Washington, $90,000, and the Young Men's Christian association building, $75,000. This is only a partial list of the many buildings that young Mr. Pittman has designed. He came to Washington about four years ago and hung out his shingle. The spirit of an adventurer was in him, for architecture was a field in which the Negro had seldom ventured. Mr. Pittman is an honor graduate of Drexel Institute. He also worked his way through Tuskegee's courses in wheelwrighting, structural work, architectural drawing and normal work. Time has proved the wisdom of his course. His standing is now well established as an architect of the first magnitude. In harmony with his professional training are the business ideas of Mr. Pittman. He is a business enthusiast. In social and political Washington he dares sound the trumpet call to business activity. He is president of the local Business league, and his vigilance has already awakened a new in- PAGE. 10. terest among Washington business men. With such a building as the colored men in Washington now have for association work, with its thorough equipment, many opportunities for advancement in education, physical culture and religious instruction will be open to them. It is the desire of the THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES PARTIAL VIEW NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING management to reach and help materially the large number of young men already in the city and the many who are constantly coming, some to take responsible positions, some seeking places of employment and others who come on extended visits. The Young Men's Christian association will therefore become the social center for these strangers and sojourners. It will be more than that-it will be a place of safety, with all the comforts of home and friendly associations. Washington needs such a place as truly as any other large city. Marshall Seeks Recordship. "Colonel Marshall is a fine man. I intend to present his name to the president," said Senator Shelby M. Cullom recently concerning John R. Marshall, colonel of the Eighth infantry, Illinois national guard, a Negro regiment. Reports have it that Colonel Marshall is going to make a strong fight to land as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. The position pays $4,000 per annum and is now held by Hon. John C. Dancy of North Carolina. PRAISES NEGRO SOLDIERS. General Burt, Who Has Commanded Them, Commends Brownsville Bill. Sitting in the lobby of the Belmont hotel at New York a few nights ago, Brigadier General Andrew S. Burt, retired, commended the action of congress in giving the Negro soldiers who were dropped from the army on account of the "shooting up" of Brownsville, Tex., an opportunity to prove their innocence. "I commanded a regiment of Negroes for a long time before I became a brigadier general, and I tell you they were the right sort," he said. "I have always found the majority of Negro enlisted men to compare more than favorably with white soldiers. I believe it will be found that a very large percentage of those who apply for reenlistment will be able to show that they had no connection with the shooting." General Burt said all the officers assigned to the command of Negro troops soon learned to respect and really love them and that there were no more loyal soldiers in the army than the colored enlisted men. Visitors to Washington Easily Placed by Hotel Clerk. "Can you tell what state a person is from when you first meet him, providing he does not tell you?" a Washington apartment house clerk was asked. "Not so much the state, but certainly the section of the country," was the response. "I would not guarantee to tell a man from Kansas from one from Missouri, but I would know at a glance whether a man was from the north, south, east or west. There is something almost indefinable both in appearance and manner that enables one with experience behind a hotel desk or apartment house register to recognize at once the section of the country a stranger is from, even before a word is spoken. Of course, mistakes can be made, but they are few. It is just the same sort of intuition that a hotel clerk has when he is confronted by some one whom he suspects as a bad customer. He cannot tell why; the person's appearance and manner show not fault that can be pointed out, and yet he feels that the person will need watching, and he rarely goes wrong." "Can I tell what state a person is from by looking at him?" asked another. "Sometimes. But it is much easier after a few words have passed. I do not mean all states, but there are some ways of telling what state a man is from, and then you can always spot the part of the country a man is from. For instance, there is something breezy about westerners that attracts your admiration. Then, of course, you can always tell a man from New York city. There is no one else that dresses like him or is like him in manner. The men from the south are slouchy in their dress. I do not mean anything uncomplimentary by this. They may be well dressed, but slouchy. They wear slouch hats a great deal, for instance. Then did you ever hear of anybody but a Marylander who would reply: 'Yes, indeed,' or 'Yes, indeed,' to a question? Of course, everybody knows Virginia talk when he hears it, and in the same way a down-easter is known by his accent." But if this is only "right much" information on the subject, as some of our neighbors would say, it is "a-plenty," according to others. Diplomata Are Welcomed. From the social viewpoint the national capital is to be congratulated on the recent acquisition to the diplomatic corps. Two bachelor ministers, the former Swedish and Danish, have been replaced by envoys who have charming families. In the case of the German ambassador, though Washington will not forget the Von Sternbergs, the new representative of the kaiser has, besides an affable and socially inclined wife, a charming young daughter. Count von Bernstorff and his family are at present domiciled in the Shoreham, awaiting the arrival of their household treasures from Europe. The German embassy, which was entirely dismantled after the death of Baron von Sternberg, is now in a state of renovation and will be newly painted and adorned from basement to turret. "Presidential Station." Through a vestibule at the north end of the new Union depot at the capital the presidential suite communicates direct with the train shed and concourse THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. this latter having dimensions 754 by 130 feet, being, it is claimed, large enough to accommodate the entire standing army of the United States. Trains enter this $20,000,000 station on 33 tracks, but Station Master Robey, the "Master of Ceremonies" of the "Presidential Station," plans to always have the presidential specials use the track at the eastern end of the yard nearest the state suite, which will necessitate but a short walk from cars to carriages for the presidential party. Mrs. Longworth's Shell Rocking Chair. Curious collections of shells are coming to this side of the water and shells as ornaments in every sort of way are seen in modish homes. Mrs. Longworth is fond of shells, and she got some exceptionally fine necklaces and bracelets in Hawaii. She has a lovely little shell rocking chair. The woodwork is inlaid with tiny iridescent shells and water color landscapes framed in exquisitely tinted shells. Navy men who go to the South seas are begged by their friends for the small opal shell which is seen so much just now strung on gold for necklaces. For Memorial to L'Enfant. After having reposed for almost a century in an obscure burial place on the outskirts of Washington, the government shortly will pay tardy recognition to the memory of Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, French engineer and captain and brevet major in the revolutionary army, who had an important part under the direction of Gen. George Washington in designing the original plan of the city of Washington. Arrangements are now being made for the removal of L'Enfant's body to Arlington, where a suitable memorial to him will be erected. May Build Home at Washington. Just as Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and one of the country's wealthiest men, is always looked up to as the one man to whom an ambitious inventor may apply with assurance of getting at least a hearing for his case, so John Hays Hammond is regarded by every budding scientist as the assured friend in need. Mr. Hammond has bought a site through agents, it is understood, for a beautiful home in Washington, which will soon be erected. Quaint Cures for Rheumatism. Cures for rheumatism are almost as old as the complaint itself. In the midland counties of England it was formerly considered that the right forefoot of a hare, worn constantly in the pocket, was an amulet against rheumatism, while the Dutch peasantry still cherish the belief in the preservative virtues of a borrowed or stolen potato. Stranger than these, however, was the remedy discovered by a servant girl at the village of Stanton, in the Cotswolds, who contrived to be confirmed three times, in the belief that confirmation was an unfalling cure for rheumatism. Dignity the Cloak of Timidity. Ceremonies, official and state robes, grave faces, solemn looks, slow motion, involved speech—in short, every thing called dignity—is a form of simulation adopted by those people who are timid at heart. They wish to make others afraid of them or of what they represent. Men of dauntless mind are naturally awe-inspiring, do not stand in need of dignity and ceremonies.—Friedrich Nietzsche. --- Western University THE LEADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR NEGROES IN THE WEST.

Bur al Place of Columbus. Columbus died in Valladolid, Spain, in 1506. His body was deposited in a vault in the convent church of the Franciscanus, where it remained for some time, but afterward, according to a request made in his will, his remains were removed to the city of Santo Domingo in his "beloved Hispanolia," and placed in a small, enclosed vault in the cathedral. Just to the right of this vault were deposited the remains of Don Diego, the son of Columbus, who died at Montalban in 1526, and long afterward the bones of Don Luis, the grandson of Columbus, were brought to the same place. Thus there are three crypts in the cathedral of Santo Domingo—one containing the bones of Columbus, one those of Diego and one those of Luis. Making and Spending. e that dapper little fellow?"

"I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act, the former as a habit of the mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness, though it does not give the mind such exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning that breaks through a gloom of clouds and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity."—Joseph Addison. Where Friendship Ceased "Never heard what broke up their friendship? Dear me! I thought every one had heard that. Brown is engaged, you know." "Oh! yes. I've heard that. Was White in love with the same girl?" "No, no. Not at all. But White saw her portrait in Brown's room and asked whose it was. "'It's a picture of my flancee,' said Brown. "White examined it critically, and then put it down, with the remark that she must be very rich. I don't know what happened after that, but White was taken home in a cab, and neither of them was seen out of doors for a week." Of Two Evils, the Lesser. There are other destructive forces in nature, and even earthquakes have rivals. This happened at the time of the trembler at Charleston, South Carolina, several years ago. A resident of the shaken city, while he felt that his duties required him to remain there to do what he might for the sufferers, sent his six-year-old son out of the danger and confusion to the youngster's grandfather in New York. Three days after the boy's arrival the Charleston man received this telegram from his father: "Send us your earthquake and take back your boy." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. HAITI'S NEW MINISTER. H. Paulus Sannon, Formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, Well Qualified. Two days before President Roosevelt turned over the affairs of state to President Taft, Hon. H. Paulus Sannon, the new Haitian minister to the United States, presented his credentials and was officially received. Complimentary greetings were exchanged by the representative from Haiti and Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Sannon is eminently qualified to fill the post which has been assigned him. For many years he was minister of foreign affairs in Haiti, a position which corresponds to that of secretary of state in this country. As such he was the director of the foreign policy of the Black Republic and gave orders to all her foreign ministers. Not only by training, but by education and by nature, is Mr. Sannon well fitted for diplomatic honors. The best schools of Haiti and France were attended by him, and such environments added to the dignity and culture with which nature had endowed this dark skinned gentleman, who at thirty-eight finds himself representing his government at Washington, holding his own among the members of one of the most brilliant diplomatic corps in the world. The Haitian government provides for her minister here in keeping with the dignity of his official station. He entertains lavishly in the beautiful le- COPYRIGHT 1900 BY LIMBINGHALL H. PAULUS SANNON. gation in fashionable Rhode Island avenue and attends all the state functions given at the White House and the official receptions given by the members of the diplomatic circle. To keep up this expensive yet necessary legation the Haitian government allows its minister $13,000 per annum. With such a princely salary Minister Sannon will experience no difficulty in the way of making a favorable impression at Washington. Mr. Sannon, who was stopping at the exclusive Arlington hotel, has now moved into the Haitian legation. Mrs. Sannon has not yet arrived, nor has Mr. Mars, the new secretary of the legation. TREE HOUSES OF THE PAPUANS. Cool and Clean, But Not Built for Somnambulists. The famous tree houses of Papua are rapidly disappearing before the march of civilization and settlement in the colony. The tree house—a neat and well built habitation, placed at an enormous height among the branches of a forest tree and reached only by a swinging ladder—was primarily intended as a refuge from enemies. Now, however, that the government has brought the wild tribes under control the native prefers to live in a house that demands less skill in construction. There are still many tree houses to be seen, though few or none are being built. In the northeastern district of Papua (where much valuable sugar, rubber and cocoanut land lies ready for taking up) the government officials on their regular tours of inspection often sleep at night in the house of some hospitable native village constable, who draws his ladder up at sundown to a doorstep 80 feet high in the air. These tree houses are exceedingly cool, clean and picturesque, with the roofs of native made thatch and walls and floors of wattled boughs. AGE NO MARK OF DISCRETION. New York Police Statistics Prove a Most Lamentable Fact. A woman shoplifter who had passed the Psalmist's allotted period, and who had a long record of offenses behind her, was sent to prison again the other day, and in the printed accounts much was made of her years, as if age and misdemeanor were strangers. As a matter of fact, among women, youth and disdemeanor are strangers if, we make the test of the matter the fact of falling into the law's clutches. More than half the women offenders of New York are classified in the report of the state prison commission as "middle-aged or elderly women." Of the 6,644 women sentenced to the Blackwell's Island workhouse during the last year, 3,463 were more than 30 years old. About one in 15 of the number were legal minors. Disorderly conduct and public intoxication accounted for all but a few hundreds of the entire number. There is really no surprise in these figures, for the spectacle of gray hairs without honor is not unfamiliar in any of our small parks. It would be superfluous to point the moral—and Horace has done it already in his warnings to Lalage and Chloe. One Way He Could Help. An eastern college graduate applied for work in a Michigan lumber camp. He was told to get busy on one end of a cross-saw, the other end being in charge of an old and experienced lumberman. At first all went well, but at the end of the second day the young man's strength began to wane. Suddenly the old man stopped the saw and spat. "Sonny," he said, not unkindly, "I don't mind yer ridln' on this saw, but if it's jest the same to you I wish you'd keep yer feet off the ground."—Everybody's. LOOK TO THEIR OWN FOR HONOR "Whatsoever you sow that you shall reap," was one of King Solomon's wise sayings, and it is no less applicable to-day in spiritual, educational and financial life. Especially was it true at Western University when the music department through the Twentieth Century Commercial Society, of which Miss Eva B. Jones and E. S. Plummer of Colorado are prominent members, first began to publish the creations of its own students. Miss L. Viola Kinney presents her "Mother mother. In that piece you caner's Sacrifice," which is dedicated to feel the cruel persecutions, the harsh and bitter experiences of the Negro race in America and the yearning for the upward push and stride in spite of them; the deep imprisoned emotions which swell up and burst forth into melodies of harmony and tuneful selfishness. The fine notes resembling to wash tub, and the whistling of the wind around the clothes hanging on the line is enough to bestir the deepest of feeling. The Business Society of the Business Department, of which Prof. Albert Ross is principal, has the control of disseminating their own scholars' productions throughout the country, a thing unheard of in a school of color. Since 1905, see what they have done: "O, Western U," by Profs. Ross and Jackson; 1906, "Farewell, Alma Mater," Miss Maebelle Harding; and 1907, "Nocturne," by Clyde O. Andrews; in 1906 25 responding patrons representing five states; in 197, 125 responding patrons representing 15 states; in 1908, 300 responding patrons representing 25 states, and time will yet have to tell what 1909 will bring. This is their growth as given by the public as an encouragement to the scholars. If Western University can do so much in music, pray what can be done in poetry, oratory, science and industrial crafts? Cannot the sweetness, purity, pathos, beauty which will surpass all other, startle and surprise the world, and cause even our critics to set up and look on in askance? Colorado students have made their parents feel proud in nearly every endeavor they have taken up, and it only goes to argue for an increased enrollment from Colorado this year. What they have done, your boy or girl can do. We know Prof. Vernon and Bishop Grant are eminently proud of their creations. NOTICE TO ALL OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE UNIFORM RANK, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, IN GOOD STANDING: You are hereby notified to turn out in full dress uniform for the annual sermon to be held March 28, 1909. All visiting Knights in good standing are cordially invited to participate in the parade. By order of COL. J. P. MILLER, Commander of the State. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. C. M. Payne has returned after several months' visit with parents in Topeka, Kan. The ladies of the A. M. E. church are rehearsing regularly for a play entitled "The Old Maid's Contribution." This entertainment is being looked forward to with considerable interest. The play is scheduled for the 8th of April. We trust they will have a full house. Geo. Clark, recently from Texas, is a new appointee as clerk in our postoffice department. F. A. Williams is in charge of the grand jury at the court house as one of the bailiffs for the March term. His friends are pleased to see him get this employment. Mrs. Chas. Hines died at her nome in Santa Fe after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mrs. Hines was one of New Mexico's pioneer citizens, and her sudden demise is regretted by all classes of citizens. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss. Geo. Harris, her son-in-law, attended the funeral at Santa Fe last Monday. Geo. Stokes, an old ex-soldier and miner, died of pulmonary diseases at the Fancett rooming house last Thursday. Funeral services were held at A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Washington officiating. The ladies of the Logan Camp, G. A. R., attended in a body as a tribute of honor to the dead hero, thus showing respect for a deceased comrade. These ceremonies were nicely conducted. The dead soldier was laid to rest with the stars and stripes wrapped around his body by the ladies of Logan Camp of G. A. R. Such incident make us feel proud of our Uncle Sam. The ladies of the Stewardess Board made some nice floral offerings. There was something doing among the colored folks last week when they were informed by a member of their race that two obnoxious bills were about to become a law by the present legislature, viz.: a law to prohibit the intermarriage of the Caucasian and Negro, presented by Mr. Mullens of Roswell, a Democratic district, and one by Mr. Tipton of Tulerosa, making a law to have separate coaches on railroad cars for Negroes and whites. A citizens' meeting was hurriedly called and all prior grievances among the Negroes were quickly laid aside, which showed much good common sense. A committee of the most prominent citizens was selected to go to Santa Fe to lobby in the interest of their cause. Their names were H. Bramlett, Rev. James Washington, Rev. H. Byas, Prof. J. B. Lott and F. O. Mason. Our councilman, P. Hanley, from the district, had heard of the uneasiness of his colored constituents and came down and while in THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. the city this committee waited upon the councilman and was assured from that gentleman that the obnoxious bills would never become a law. The legislature has convened and those ugly bills still remain dead in the hands of the committees, where they landed. There is no need of such laws in New Mexico and we trust there will never be any attempt at such legislation again. Former citizens of Texas presented these bills. The people of New Mexico owe a lasting vote of thanks to P. Hanley, our councilman, for killing these obnoxious bills. PUEBLO, COLO. Pueblo, Colo., March 17, 1909. To the Editor of The Statesman: Dear Sir—Allow space in your paper about St. Paul, Pueblo. God in His wise providence put it into the heart of our chieftain, Bishop A. Grant, to send to us Rev. J. C. Bell and dear wife at a needy time. Rev. Bell, being a young man of much intelligence and worth, with his accomplished wife, has done much for St. Paul. We have just closed a rally, raising $546.18. The church has been blessed with many additions. A new parsonage is being erected. In less than six months over $1,100 has been raised by his efforts. We feel that Bishop A. Grant made no mistake in sending us this worthy man of God. If we can keep Rev. J. C. Bell and wife four years we will have one of the best churches in the connection. Yours for His cause. A MEMBER My tears fall fast for thee, love. How can I say, farewell! But go, thy God be with thee, love, Thy heart's deep grief to quell. Yet my spirit clings to thine, love; Thy soul remains with me, And oft will hold communion sweet O'er the dark and distant sea. And who can paint our mutual joys When, all our wandering o'er, We both shall clasp our infants three At home on Burma's shore. When the loved and parted here below Meet, ne'er to part again. Then gird thine armor on, love; Nor faint thou by the way, Till Buddha shall fall and Burma's son Shall win Messiah's sway. The following is a poem composed by Mrs. Mary Boardman Judson when about to part from her husband and return to America in search of health: We part on this green islet, love— Thou for the Easter main, I for the setting son, love. Oh, when to meet again. My heart is sad for thee, love, For lone thy way will be; And oft thy tears will fall, love, For thy children and for me. The music of thy daughter's voice Thou will miss for many a year. And the merry shout of thy elder boys Thou will list in vain to hear. When we knelt to see our Henry die, And heard his last faint moan, Each wiped the tear from each other's eye: Now each must weep alone. Q. J.

From the temporary headquarters of the American tuberculosis exhibition at Pensacola, Fla., the director sends out the following statement: “The greatest enemy of the colored race is tuberculosis, or .consumption. Tuberculosis, or consumption, stands for filth, neglect or ignorance, whether it is found in the homes of the poor or the well to do, “The American tuberculosis exhibi- tlon appeals to the colored people to help themselves and the race from their greatest enemy and chief destroy- er—consumption. We urge that you read and talk about tuberculosis and the right care of the body. We urge that you appoint committees, hold meetings, arrange for addresses, de- liver sermons and teach children and adults. We urge that you make every effort, take every step and say every word that will belp to down the ‘great captain of death.” We urge this for your own sake and for the sake of your race” LADIES’ TAILORING.

The laws for the protection of humanity condemn all schemes devised by the stronger element of society to oppress the weak. Therefore we protest against this proposed amendment, which we believe has for its intent to deprive the colored people of Maryland of civil and political liberty and to close the door of hope against us as a race." After stating that the colored people of Maryland pay taxes on over $4,000,-000 worth of real estate the address concludes: "We therefore urge upon the voters of all nationalities and party affiliations in the state to consider our protest in the light of fairness and justice." Retired on a Pension. James Williams, well known in AfroAmerican church circles and fraternal societies, who died recently at his home in Westbury, N. Y., was in the employ of J. Pierpont Morgan for about thirty years. For his faithful services he was retired on a pension. He was among the most prominent members of Bethel A. M. E. church, New York city, and the oldest local preacher in the New York conference and during his active life rendered both his church and the denomination great service. William H. Ellis Humiliated. It is reported that William H. Ellis of Mexico and New York got into a lively mixup recently with a Pullman car conductor while en route from Mexico to New York. When the train reached the state of Texas Mr. Ellis was ordered into the jim crow car. He compliled with Sheriff Williams' request, but gave notice that he would apply to the courts for legal redress. Mr. Ellis' career for the past ten years has been of a stormy and exciting nature. MILLION WOMEN IN LINE. Great Work of Miss Burroughs, Who Knows How to Get Results. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is one of the most forceful characters in Afro-American public life today, full of good works and almsdeeds. She is the corresponding secretary of the woman's convention auxiliary to the national Baptist convention at Louisville, Ky., and also secretary of the Douglass Improvement company. Eight years ago she was elected to the former position. Prior to this time futile attempts had been made to get the Baptist women of the country together. In eight short years Miss Burroughs has welded into line quite a million women, and today the convention of which she is corresponding secretary is the largest of its kind on the American continent. This woman has learned that there is great power in organization, and then she has also learned how to get results by making people do things. In discussing the matter recently Miss Burroughs said: "During 1909 we must— "Build a $2,500 mission home at Cape Town, South Africa. "Support Miss Jeanie G. Zomtunzi, a teacher at Middledrift, South Africa. "Keep two African girls in school here. "Contribute to the education of several African boys. "Contribute to the general work of the foreign mission board. "Build a $75,000 training school for women and girls. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD. "Support a woman missionary in the Panama zone. Labor more earnestly for the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of women and girls throughout this country." Perhaps the most stupendous of these undertakings is that of building the great training school at Washington. Miss Burroughs urged her organization to attempt this work, and it is indeed gratifying to note that they have nearly finished paying for a six acre tract of land in the District of Columbia and will begin building in a few months. This is the first time that our women have attempted to help M. MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS. themselves on such a large scale. and it is reasonable to believe that their efforts will be encouraged by thousands of people who believe in helping those who first try to help themselves. The Douglass Improvement company, of which Miss Burroughs is secretary, is portraying in pictures and calendars the higher life of the race. Hundreds of business men are taking to the idea, and the indications are that the calendar business of this company next year will run high in the thousands. Companies that burlesque our race by making hideous pictures will find a decrease in their business if the Douglass Improvement company keeps up its high standard. All this constructive work that means so much to the race is being engineered by this young woman. She has an international reputation as a platform speaker. More Trained Workers. The report of the Philadelphia Domestic Training Institute For Young Afro-Americans, at Philadelphia, recently made public, showed that for the first six months of its existence 184 young men and women had secured work in pleasant homes and with few exceptions were giving satisfaction to their employers.

A dignified gentleman came to the bar, and said: "I am Dr. Jones, your honor, the complaining witness. My chickens were stolen and found in the possession of—" "One moment, doctor," the judge interrupted. "We must have the defendant at the bar. Jones against Johnson! Jones against Johnson! Is the defendant present? Is William Johnson in court?" A tall and shambling negro shuffled to the bar, ducked his head, pulled his woolly forelock in token of respect, and grinned a propitiatory grin. "Ah's Willyum Johns'n, please sur, jedge," he said. "Ah doan' know nuffin 'bout no 'fendant, suh. Ah'mjes' de man wot took de chick'ns." "Don't talk like that," the court warned William. "You ought to have a lawyer to speak for you. Where's your lawyer?" "Ah ain't got no lawyer, jedge—" "Very well, then," said his honor, "I'll assign a lawyer to defend you." "Why not?" asked the judge. "It won't cost you anything. Why don't you want a lawyer?" "Well, ah'll tell yo', sah," said William, waving his tattered old hat confidentially. "Hit's jes' dis-a-way—ah wan' tuh enjoy dem chick'ns mase-f."—Harper's Weekly. ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR BIRDS. Lengthens Their Day, Giving Them More Time for Feeding. Winter has always proved a trying time for rare and delicate birds in the zoological gardens. One interesting theory has been advanced, that owing to the long nights in these latitudes in winter the poor birds do not feed long enough during the day to "keep body and soul together." In the old insect house some good was effected by inducing the birds to feed before dawn with the aid of a powerful motor lamp which was placed there an hour in the winter. In the new small birdhouse, says the London Daily Mail, an elaborate incandescent gaslight installation has just been completed. It is controlled from outside and at six o'clock in the morning a watchman switches on the lights. Immediately a chorus of songs breaks out from the aroused birds, which start breakfast immediately. This extra feeding time has already produced good results in the shape of improved condition of the birds of paradise, mynahs and other rare tropical birds in the house. A Handy Library. Many of the new books come out in serial form in the magazines and papers. Cut out the installments as they appear and glue them together—book fashion, if from a magazine, or in one long strip if taken from a newspaper. Take a long, stout envelope, paste the name of the story on the back, fold the sheets or strips of clippings and place in the envelope. This is a book which takes only a small space on the shelves, and the name is easily seen THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. from the outside. These envelope books are invaluable for sick people, as frail hands are not tired by holding a light slip of paper when it would be impossible to hold a heavy book. As a bit of cheer for all invalids they might be aptly termed the sunbeam library.—Housekeeper. Work for the Unemployed. Lack of employment is not a new question. Says the Liverpool Mercury of February 14, 1812: "It is of the highest importance that a committee of the legislature should immediately inquire into the causes of the present want of employment among the laboring classes, and whether means might not be found in a nation of which the revenue is immense by which a succession of public works," etc., etc. There were at that time, nearly 100 years ago, 16,000 unemployed in Liverpool. The same writer, after asking: "Is war the only employment that the state has to give the poor?" goes on to show that the pyramids of Egypt and the "elegant edifices of Greece" were built with the object of "giving continual employment to the laborer." How High a Tiger Can Jump. For the benefit of the prospective big game hunters a correspondent finally disposes of the theory that a tiger is unable to jump to any height from all fours. He records that he took refuge in a tree from a particular tiger. The beast, however, jumped up to him, "like an India rubber ball, a good seven feet," and it was only "by letting go with my right and ramming both barrels down his mouth that I did not have a very bad time of it." The moral evidently is that when avoiding a tiger it is necessary to find a tree with its lowest branch at least 16 feet from the ground. Apology Due and Forthcoming. An illiterate young man once got a friend to write a letter for him to his sweetheart. The letter was rather prosalc for a love letter, and he felt that an apology was due to his sweetheart for its lack of tender nothings. It was as follows: "Please excuse the mildness of this here letter, as the chap wot's 'ritin' it is a married man, and he says he can't 'bide any soft soapings; it allus gives him the spazzums." Remarkable Fish Was Whiffletit, According to Facetious Waiter. Seating himself at a restaurant table a Chicago man said: "Waiter, what kind of fish have you?" "O," said the waiter, "all kinds—whitefish, bluefish, gaylings, sea bass, weakfish, perch—" "Pshaw!" yawned the customer, "cut that out. I'm tired of those common fishes. Ain't you got some new kind of fish; some kind I never ate before?" "Well," said the waiter, "the whiffletits is very fine this morning." "What in thunder is a whiffletit?" "Why, don't a fish sharp like you know what a whiffletit is? Common enough here. You see, the whiffletit lives only in circular lakes. You go out and find a circular lake and hire a boat. Then you row out all alone to the middle of the lake, about a mile or so, and anchor. Then you take an augur and bore a hole in the water, and bait it by putting a piece of cheese on the edge of the hole. The whiffletit comes up to get the cheese, eats it and it makes him swell up so that he can't get back down the hole." "Well," said the customer, breathless, "what then?" "Why," replied the waiter, as he filled a glass of water, "you lean over the side of the boat and laugh the whiffletit to death. Want a few?"—Cleveland Leader. PECULIAR WHEEL OF FORTUNE. Breton Peasants Ascribe Miraculous Power to Odd Contrivance. In the village church of Comfort (near Pont-Croix), in western Brittany, is a very good specimen of the now rare 'wheel of fortune.' It is made of wood, with a row of bells on its outer rim and pivoted between a couple of rough beams—altogether very primitive workmanship. By means of a cord attached to a crank the wheels can be made to revolve and set all the bells a-jangling. I have often heard that the peasants believe that it has miraculous power of healing when run over the head of a sufferer who has placed a soul in the box to which the rope is padlocked. I received remarkable confirmation of this belief, for while making a photograph a well-to-do sailor's wife and her husband came into the church and looked round. The woman asked me if I though there could be any truth in this belief, as her child was very backward in learning to talk. Her nurse, who came from those parts, had advised her to bring the baby and ring the bells of Comfort over his head, when he would be sure to talk. As she was passing she had looked in to see if it was worth trying! Not Supposed to See or Know. On the relief train that had been rushed to the scene of the railway wreck was a newspaper reporter, remarks the Chicago Tribune. The first victim he saw was a man whose eyes were in mourning and whose left arm was in a sing. With his hair full of dirt, one end of his shirt collar flying loose, and his coat ripped up the back, the victim was sitting on the grass and serene contemplating the landscape. "How many people are hurt?" asked the reporter, hurrying up to him. "I haven't heard of anybody being hurt, young man," said the other. "How did this wreck happen?" "I haven't heard of any wreck." "You haven't? Who are you, anyhow?" "I don't know that it's any of your business, but I'm the claim agent of the road." No Drums in the Middle Ages. No Drums in the Middle Ages. As we come to the Middle Ages, when the nations of modern Europe were struggling into existence, we find that at first, the drum was not used at all. So, although melody had been known and practiced for many centuries, rhythm had been quite forgotten. For what there is left to us of the music of the Middle Ages contains no bars, and we know that it was slowly and monotonously chanted, without the least accent. In the eleventh century, however, things begin to improve, more particularly as the Crusaders brought into Europe all sorts of percussion instruments from the east. Various kinds of drums, tambourines and cymbals were then seen in Europe for the first time since the days of savages, and they have been used, with very little change, ever since.—St. Nicholas.

THE NEI |Omened Birds Have Their ni On the southeast corner of asl [ i Haunts in ‘the Seasons. teenth and G streets, in Washington, A venerable crow, “as black as any crow can be,” which made its nest for several years in one of the tall trees in the Capitol park, Washington, and then suddenly disappeared from its accustomed haunts, is Said to have been seen recently in the tree in which it had reared several broods of young birds. He has come back to his own, Another crow for a number of sea- sons nested in one of the recesses about the tower of the postoffice de- partment building, and his shrill “caw- caw-caws” could be plainly heard by the pedestrians on the bustling streets below. This particular postoffice crow met a tragic fate last year, however, and since that time there has been a no- ticeable scarcity of that breed of birds on the big gray building. Formerly the old crow had many visitors, espe- cially during the early morning and sunset hours, but his death at the hands—or rather talons and beak—of a big hawk no doubt was spread through Crowdom, and now it is a rare thing to see one of the uncanny birds in the vicinity of the postoffice. Policeman Frank Emmert was a witness to the tragedy on the dizzy edge of the coping about the postal tower. The great hawk came up from behind and pounced down on the un- suspecting crow. There was a brief struggle, then the surrounding atmos- phere was filled with black feathers. The crow gave severaP loud “caws” and then succumbed to its enemy. The hawk proceeded to devour the bird of evil omen, and finished all ex- cept the head, which wads dropped to the sidewalk and picked up by Police- man Emmert and preserved as a me- mento of the battle in midair. NOVELTY OF RAILROAD DEPOT. Presidential Suite Makes Station at Washington Unique. Although the new Union station at Washington has many unique points of distinction, being the largest and costliest railway terminal in the world, its most notable novelty is found in the presidential suite. No other ruler ofa republic has ever had such an in- stitution, and, indeed, no foreign sov- ereign has been enabled to enjoy sim- ilar apartments of like luxury and con- venience. The aim has been to make the “State Suite” at the new raliroad terminal at the American capital as different as possible from the royal apartments in European railway stations, and at the same time have it in keeping with the dignity of the United States as the greatest railroad country on _ the globe. The new railway rendezvous for the American president is, for instance, in marked contrast with the royal apart- ments at the Wiudsor station in Lon- don, which may be cited as representa- tive of European ideals on this subject. At the London station the private waiting rooms for royalty are found in a one-story house of marble and iron, with ornamental doors and windows, set down on the main platform of the station, and thus possessing an in- dividuality of its own instead of being # part of the main station structure, as is the suite of which the president and his family will make use. Its G'ories Departed. On the southeast corner of High- teenth and G streets, in Washington, there stands a plain three-story brick building, with+a long L, that was once the home of Edward Everett, when, after his service in the house of repre- sentatives, from 1824 to 1834, and his succeeding governorship of Massa- chusetts, he was appointed secretary of state, under President Fillmore, succeeding to the place made vacant by the death of Daniel Webster. Mr. Everett did much for the young coun try, and through his efforts on the plaiform Mount Vernon was pur chased for the people from the Wash ingtons. The Everett house was occupied next by Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, while he was sec retary of state for the federal govern ment. Then it fell into the hands of Jacob Thompson, secretary of the in terior under Buchanan, who, for his alleged peculations of government funds, sought refuge in Egypt, where he died soon after his flight from his native land. Another distinguished occupant of the house was Capi! Henry A. Wise, who became famous as a naval commander, and who mar ried a daughter of Edward Everett. Since those days the old house has: lost its splendor, and the halls that once resounded to the music of the dance and the rhythm of slippered feet have become the nestling place for spiders and the abiding place of dust and shadows. Judge Harlan His Son’s Twin. The most remarkable likeness be- tween any two men in America, not barring twins, exists between Justice Harlan of the United States supreme court and his son, John Maynard Har- Jan, a Chicago lawyer and politician. Except for the disparity of their ages, the two men are the exact counter: Part of each other—sam. height. weight and contour of face, even io the mustaches, when both wear this masculine adornment. And the re semblance does not end here, for both father and son have high forehead with the same thinning of the hair on the temples. The condition of the health has much to do. with mcods, and there is nothing that contributes so much tc health as absolute regularity. The Days of Steel-Clad Warriors. When knights were clad in complete armor from top to toe it was essen: {fal that they should bear some sign by which their followers could dis- tinguish them in battle, and this was the function of their armorial bear- ings. Knights who omitted to wear their own arms ran considerable risk, and it is related that at the battle of Bannockburn the last of the De Clares owed his death to his omission to wear his bearings. He wag slain un- recognized, whereas, had he been known, he would have been held a prisoner for the sake of ransom or as a hostage-—The Englishman. Safe Rules for Living.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qual ities, 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 be- ing 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 “theirs 1s the same” or “just as good”) or referred to “PORO.” We advise you to use only “PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind).

Lovinggood’s Long Struggle. Alded by Loyal People, He Built Flourishing Negro College at Austin, Tex., Amid Great Hardships. Vandalism Ceased. The story of the founding and up ward rise of the Samuel Huston col lege at Austin, Tex., is but the story over again of what a man of pluck ambition and self reliance can and wil do. When R. S. Lovinggood went t Austin eleven years ago with the ides of establishing an institution for th education of Negro youth, there wa: neither school nor scholars—only thi land and the foundation walls of wha is now considered to be one of the most flourishing schools In the south west, where young colored men an¢ women are making real progress in lit erary and industrial education. Mr Lovinggood has done even more that to build up a college. His successful solution of the rac problem in the center of a cotton sec tion larger than New England, where the colored population is more than : million, is printed on every letter anc every bit of literature that his colleg sends out. It is this: “Strive alway: to treat others better than they trea you.” That Ix the rule that every po pil bas to try to live up to. About half the population of thi town are Negroes, and in the coun try roundabout they outnumber th whites three to one, For nearly thirt; years the colored people in Aust have struggled to establish this school It Is named after Samuel Huston, ¢ farmer of Marengo, la., who long age gave $0,000 toward the establistimen: of this college. Six acres of land wer purchased, and the stone basement o: one building was constructed. Then, a: usually happens in such cases, the money gave out. This basement stood unfinished in the beating rain and ho sunshine for sixteen years, while the colored people struggled to get more money together. The little group tha’ had the school project close to thet: hearts begged day in and day out anc gathered in not dollars or even dimes but nickels and pennies from washer women, day laborers and farmers ‘There ts bardly a Negro in Austin and the vicinity who has not helped t build this college. In this way $12,0% was collected with infinite toil, and ir 1898 the building that had been begur #0 many years ago that it was a jok among the whites was inclosed The white people took a greater and greater interest in the enterprise whet they saw what he was accomplishing One ex-Confederate soldier gave $250 He said that anything that promotec peace and good will between the races was a blessing that ought to be en couraged and expanded. One building after another went up as soon as the first one had been finished, Teacher after teacher was engaged ubtil now there are seventeen. More than sixty of the pupils have graduated in vari ous professions and are bard at work in the world outside. Nearly $75,000 in all has been raise¢ and spent in new buildirgs and im provements during the last ten years There is the main buildins, Burrowe: hall, which was finished and furnishe¢ at a cost of $15,000; a temporary boys hall was put up for $800; the laundry building cost $1.200; a dormitory wai arranged for $1,000; a fine sewer sys- tem was {installed at a cost of $2,200; a fine boys’ brick building has just been completed. It is lighted by elec- tricity and heated with hot air. It cost $19,000. There are a printing out- fit, scientific apparatus, a library of 3,090 volumes, five planos and an or- gan, a cooking range, 175 ‘ron beds, eight acres of land for a vegetable garden and dairy. It is five blocks from the state cap- itol. “When the school was opened,” says President Lovinggood, “some of the neighboring white people were much grieved, saying that the value of their property would be destroyed. Certain ones passing said ugly words, cut down the shrubbery, broke out the panes and threw ink bottles at the building. When I went out on my various errands, burrying through the ‘Streets on my wheel, derisive shouts of ‘A coon on a bike!’ used to greet me “Something had to be done. We de- ‘Mberated. Teachers and students were advised to speak no unkind word and to do no rash act. We started) out to ‘deserve good treatment, and we suc- ‘ceeded That is how we solved the | much talked of and most perplexing ‘race problem.” Little by little the best people in the town became interested fn what was being done In the face of so many dif- ficulties. Vandalism ceased. Now ev- ery one in Auatin is proud of the col- ored college. The ablest and best white people there are among Its warmest friends and supporters Mr. Lovinggood says: “We propose to do right, and if we do right, if we be honest, industrious, useful, patriotic citizens, pray, tell me what then? Bhall the righteous be forsaken and their seed beg bread? Shall we be de nied the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all that these Involve? My faith in the American people compels the statement that all will be well. A good white man and a good black man will get along well to- gether. A correct solution of the race problem depends upon the develop- ment of good men and women of both races who will mete out to each otber a ‘square deal.’ It is upon this con- ception uf its proper solution that the efforts of Samuel Huston college to | solve the race problem here are based.” Clubwomen Hear Mrs. Barnett. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, the well known anttlynching crusader who came from Chicago recently, delivered an able address before the New York Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs at Bethel A. M. E. chureh, New York elty, a few Sundays ago on “Higher Ideals.” A Inrge audience was pres: ent to bear Mrs. Barnett, for it was in New York, at Lyric hall, where she first made her bow as an antidynching lecturer some fifteen years ago. Fair Treatment From Taft. Bishop John Wesley Gaines of the African Methodist Episcopal chrvech Seems to breathe easier since his re- cent conference with President Taft. He says: “I am convinced that the president will treat the Negro race fairly. I mean that he will do as well by us as his predecessors. We bold a good many offices in the south and hope to keep them.” Race Progress Measured. Rev. W. 8. Smith. pastor of Monu- mental Baptist church at Jersey City, N.

PHONE MAIN 7905. In a letter from Boise we see where a member of the race is senior partner in a vacuum cleaner company, James H. Watson of Watson & Mayfield. We remember in days long ago, the typical industrial Negro carried a white ash busket and brush, a carpet beater and stretch, and such like. A little later these were displaced by modern inventions and Caucasian progressiveness. The kalsominer, the steam carpet cleaner, took away our employment. It is a pleasure to see that so far out west the race is again coming into its own. Our readers are more or less familiar with similar work being done in Albuquerque by our old friend, W. T. Thornton. And so it goes. The hard conditions of competition are making men of us, "who our rights do know, and knowing, dare maintain." Who is so spineless as would wish for the return of the days when we were dependents entirely? The weaker must perish on the way upward, but the example of men like Watson and Thornton will nerve us on, and as sure as God lives, we will win! The marriage of a negro pugilist and a white woman has started a big discussion of the intermarriage of the races. The columns of print wasted on this pair might have found a more important topic. If we were to grant all the evils claimed for intermarriage it still remains an undisputed fact that there exists no real danger. Negroes seek to retain their racial identity as much as Caucasions. In fact the history of this country, especially during slavery, is all to the effect that we strive harder. Occasionally someone will step over the boundary, and then forthwith the world's ears are dinned with the danger threatening the heaven-anointed race. This is pure conceit on the part of whites. We grant their superior position, and can account for their supposition that we would desire to become social intimates. But somehow it is not so! If white supremacy is not threatened until negroes will seek to woo white consorts, it runs very little chance of ever waning. There is nothing in racial characteristics that is disgraceful, and we know it. It is what we accomplish that is the gauge of our real worth, not how we look. The intermarriage bogey man is a creature of the Caucasian's imagination. Surely he has not climbed so high he is tortured with suspicion of his ability to maintain himself! DES MOINES, IOWA, NEWS.

Mrs. Effie Waldon is proving to be a very efficient superintendent and manages her excellent corps of teachers well. The quarterly report of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society showed a membership of more than a hundred active members and 17 honorary mmbers; that $107 had been expended in fuel, food, clothing, donations to funerals and to charity; and that $10 had been sent to West Coast Africa to assist Bishop W. H. Heard in clearing up a field for the cultivation of coffee. Mrs. E. N. Ward, the president, has already received several souvenirs from the bishop. Much interest is being taken in preparation for the Easter programs. The Sunday School and the cnoir have special services. The church is working on its Grand Rally for that time when $1,200 will be raised The Allen C. E. League is doing splendid work under the leadership of one of our most zealous workers, Miss Gertrude Nichols. Its excellent social spirit was shown by the evening at the church last Thursday.
