FLURAL BALL, EAST TURNER HALL Easter Monday Night. The Swellest Ever Given In The West. FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY APRIL 5 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY GLORIOUS EASTERTIDE IN DENVER'S CHURCHES REV. W. C. WILLIAMS BREAKS ALL RECORDS—RAISES OVER $700 IN FIRST RALLY. The money is still coming in at Campbell A. M. E. church from the rally last Sunday afternoon. The day was a beautiful day up until about 3 o'clock, when it began snowing, and to a few who easily get discouraged, defeat stared them in the face, but to the Reverend's honor, glory and largely due to his foresight, the battle had been fought, and the success al- must say that this rally is the greatest and quietest rally in that church and one of the greatest in history of Denver churches. Who knew or could forecast this mighty experience that was witnessed last Sunday, when they first heard that Rev. W. C. Williams had been assigned to Campbell? Campbell had been passing through some terrible trials and dissentions, which threatened the very existence of the church. But the valiant hearted members stood by like rocks of adamant until this conquering hero came. When he came into our community he came unannounced, but he went quietly but diligently to work and it was only a short time until the dust began to fly and yet the people did not pay much attention to him. He began to cause attraction to be centered around him by his ardent and enthusiastic sermons at Shorter's revival. The people's eyes were being opened to believe the man and his new business methods, new ideas to get the nickles and the pennies from saint and sinner were soon experienced. The programs at his church showed he had nearly every body at work in the cause of the Lord and yet he was unassuming in all of his work. Campbell has certainly been blessed with her present pastor in his initial effort without much advertisement, and everybody is asking what will he do when everybody knows of his rally, when the weather and times are good? Rev. W. C. Williams is a determined, intelligent, independent, resourceful man, an able, quiet worker of the Lord, well grounded in theology, not so much of an orator, as a practical man, no glamour, no pomp, no outcry, but a steady, clear day-by-day business man of the gospel. His wife enjoys the confidence and respect of the membership of the church and is one of its most earnest workers. Again the Statesman congratulates as it expressed its great surprise at that marvellous success. The members are tickled to death and are still working like beavers to make it $800 before the rally stops. If 150 members can do this well, what can congregations of a larger number do? Time will supply the answer. WARDS CHAPEL NOTES Special Easter services will be held at Wards Chapel to-morrow. Subject, morning service, "The Significance of Easter." Subject, evening service, "The Attitude of the World Toward WANTED-$500.00 to pay off the debt of Ward's Chapel. Not less than this amount will satisfy the members and well wishers of the struggling mission. Let the struggling citizenship of Denver come to the rescue and Sunshine will beam not only in the heart of the pastor, but in that of the whole bench of A. M. E. bishops and the entire connection. Don't forget the date of the rally—Sunday, April 20th, at Shorter's A. M. E. church, 3 p. m. A. C. MURPHY, Pastor. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. Like a new bud, Central Baptist church is rising from its ruins. Last Sunday services were held in the auditorium in its half completed state and by to-morrow its work will go on again in full vigor. The misfortune which crippled it has only served to bring to the surface the full measure of layolty of the congregation for the church. It is beautiful in its newsness and will soon recover the ground lost by its enforced inactivity. The following is the program for to-morrow's services. Programme, 11 a. m.

The attendance at Scott's Chapel is still increasing, in spite of the inclementy of the weather. Monday night the Official Board met and planned for a stressful month's work. There will be an old-fashioned "Tacky Party" on April 20th, in the church. A prize will be given to the one who dresses the tackiest. You are invited. A small admission at the door. Mr. J. D. Rice makes an excellent superintendent. The Sunday School is adding new members to its roll every Sunday. Sunday evening there will be a grand Easter program rendered at 7:30. If you miss this rare treat you will regret. Good music and speaking. The Ladies' Aid was entertained Thursday evening by Mrs. Dora E. Wallace at the parsonage. Friends are invited to attend its future meetings. Mrs. Rosa Bly, who has been the faithful president of the Ladies' Aid, will leave soon for Wyoming, where she will reside permanently. We regret to see her leave the city. Mrs. Joannette Bailey is reported seriously ill at her home on West Eighth street. Her friends anxiously await her speedy recovery. The Personage Committee is furnishing the pastor's home beautifully. He and his family are very happy because of his movement. We are pleased to present to our readers this week a likeness of J. E. Bruce, "Bruce Grit," aftimes a contributor to this paper, and one of the foremost newspaper writers in this country. If he makes half the success at fair giving as he does at writing, New Rochelle will be a-humming. HARMONY BETWEEN RACES. Bishop Gaines' Plea For Justice According to Law—We Must Do Our Part. In a recent lecture on "Harmony Between the Races" before a mixed audience in Gethsemane Lutheran church at Worcester, Mass., Bishop Wesley J. Gaines of the African Methodist Episcopal church said: "The universe of God is an expression of divine harmony. The question of harmony between the white and black races of the United States will be rightly settled by justice, truth and righteousness. "The colored people of this country are not clamoring for social equality, but for political rights, the rights guaranteed them under the constitution of the United States as American citizens. "We have been invited to go back to Africa, from whence our ancestors came, but we intend to stay right here, as we are the invited guests of the United States. We have been loyal to the flag and have a right to the protection it affords black and white alike." "May the time come when torture, wickedness and cruelty, committed in the name of justice, will pursue the guilty, but spare the innocent and helpless. Our race is not composed entirely of the poor and illiterate, but has many of education and refinement. The whites welcome the anarchist with his dynamite, the Irishman with his whisky and the dago with his peanuts and bananas, but the people who are born here and have a right here as citizens are trampled upon." The bishop further said that the colored people, however, had their part to play in bringing about this harmony between themselves and the other races—that they should not be too suspicious of the white people and condemn all of them, for if it were not for some of the good ones we would not be able to stay here. He praised President William H. Taft and said he was all right and would make a good president. Ex-President Roosevelt also received his share of praise. Bishop Gaines interspersed his lecture with several anecdotes, which were greatly enjoyed by his audience, who expressed themselves as being well pleased with the treat they had received. NOTED WOMAN SCULPTOR. Works of Miss Edmonia Lewis Adorn Homes of British Nobility. An Afro-American woman of exceptional ability, who has won distinction both at home and abroad, is Miss Edmonia Lewis, the sculptor. Miss Lewis has lived abroad for so many years that some facts about her career may Women In Big Realty Deal. Metropolitan Women's Business Club at New York Will Erect Hall For Business Purposes—Miss Felton a Fine Business Woman. The Metropolitan Women's Business Club of Greater New York is making rapid strides along business lines. Its membership is made up of some of the brainiest and most progressive Afro-American women of the race in New York city and vicinity. The need of a suitable hall for entertainments, meetings and public gatherings for social and business purposes has been discussed by secret and benevolent societies for many years, but no definite action has ever been taken by these organizations to supply the need. It is the object of the Metropolitan Women's Business club to interest a sufficient number of women in such a project to raise $10,000 as a nucleus of a fund with which to build a hall in a central location thoroughly equipped with all modern improvements as a monument to the thrift and industry of colored women. It has been pointed out that,whereas the colored people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to white landlords, if they had a hall of their own this vast sum of money would be circulated among their own people and would greatly benefit the race by giving employment to deserving young men and women in various ways. The club has been eminently successful in its work, and quite a large sum of money has been subscribed and paid into the treasury for the purpose already stated. It is a well known fact that if the various secret and benevolent organizations of Greater New York would withdraw a third of their money now on deposit in the banking HENRY institutions in New York and Brooklyn they could buy the ground and have built for cash a hall that would reflect credit upon themselves and the race generally. institutions in New York and Brooklyn they could buy the ground and have built for cash a hall that would reflect credit upon themselves and the race generally. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. One or the leading women in this new venture is Miss M. P. Felton, who is chairman of the executive board and widely known as a successful financier. In order to raise a certain sum of money needed in the work of the club at present Miss Felton is arranging a grand recital for May 3 to be held at Memorial hall of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn. If the white people are interested enough in our people to let their property to us in order that we may help ourselves every man and woman of the race out of race pride should bestir himself and herself and rally to the standard set by these energetic women. Organization, concentration and unity will accomplish great things. Miss I. L. Moorman, president of the club, is also doing yeoman service for the accomplishment of the object of the club. Her business capacity may be readily seen by the successful manner in which she has managed the affairs of the Brooklyn branch of the Metropolitan Mercantle and Realty company for the past five years or more. Associated with the women on the above mentioned occasion will be the Rev. William A. Credit, D. D., of Philadelphia, who is a business preacher through and through and one who believes in the business ability of the race. Especially is he anxious that due encouragement be given to such a worthy movement as that of the Metropolitan Women's Business club. Tents Honor Grand Matron. Mrs. A. J. Evans, who is the national grand matron of the Order of Tents, was the guest recently of all the tents in Brooklyn. A reception and dinner was held in her honor at Granada hall before her departure from the city. Distinguished Barrister. One of the ablest colored lawyers on the Pacific coast is a man of the name of R. A. Day, who resides at Tacoma, Wash. He is the wealthiest Negro in the state. He was born in Louisville, Ky. Prosperous Business Man. J. H. Carter of Norfolk, Va., is said to be the leading Negro taller in the south. His patrons are largely Negroes. He is said to be worth $80,000. Grand Tabernacle. The grand tabernacle of the Order of Love and Charity for the state of New York, which held its annual meeting in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church at Brooklyn recently, is one of the oldest secret orders of its kind among Afro-Americans in the United States. The order was organized at Philadelphia in 1843. The state grand tabernacle consists of eight subordinate lodges, two of which are in Brooklyn and six in Manhattan. The order is strong in Greater New York, the membership being about 700, including the juvenile department. The grand tabernacle was the guest of St. James' tabernacle, No.115. Mrs. Henry Smith was chairman of the committee on entertainment. Important Coming Event. The pastor and members of Macedonia A. M. E. church at Flushing, N. Y., are actively engaged in making preparations for the annual conference which meets in that church beginning on Wednesday, May 19. Presiding Bishop Wesley J. Gaines will preside over the sessions. Many important matters affecting the home and foreign missionary work of the denomination are to be considered and disposed of at this sitting of the conference. Industrial Exposition. Co-operative Business League Will Present Handiwork of the Race at New Rochelle, N. Y.—Church Choir Contest. The colored people of New Rochelle, N. Y., are going to have a county exposition and industrial exhibit of the handiwork of the race. It is to be given under the auspices of the New Rochelle Cooperative Business league, a prosperous and progressive organization of enterprising Negroes formerly from the south, who own real estate in New Rochelle to the value of $38,000. The league, unlike most of the business ventures among colored men, is incorporated under the laws of the state of New York, and I OR GENERAL. Its books are open every day and hour to the inspection of its stockholders or, any person entitled to know how it conducts its business. Samuel J. Davis, secretary and business manager of the league, is one of the most influential Negroes in Westchester county and a good business man. The houses owned and in course of erection by the league are up to date in their appointments and are in every way desirable properties. The Negroes of New Rochelle are the most progressive of any in the county. League hall is the only public hall owned by Negroes in Westchester county. It is a three story frame building, steam heated, with lodge rooms, kitchens, private dining room, gas and electric lights, baths and cloakrooms and every comfort of a well appointed public hall. Not more than a month ago the league, at one of its regular meetings, decided to hold an industrial exposition of the colored people of Westchester county in order to find out what proportion of the race in this county have mechanical and artistic genius, and it was proposed to continue the exposition for one week in League hall, in A.

Cash prizes will be offered and medals awarded for the best exhibits. A singing contest by the choirs of the various churches throughout the county for a set of books and a baton for the leader is being arranged. Roebuck night, Pythian night, Masonic night, Odd Fellows' night, etc., are expected to attract large crowds, when the merits of these several orders will be explained by competent representatives. The directors of the exposition are: J. E. Bruce, director general; S. J. Davis, secretary-manager; S. J. Crewes, corresponding secretary; Thomas C. Thweat, Joseph L. Edwards, Rev. M. A. Bradley, J.

More than a thousand white people, from some of the best families in Montgomery, Ala., attended the funeral services recently over the remains of Bob Goodwin, the one armed Negro hero who saved many lives during his lifetime. Schoolboys clamored for places as pallbearers, a son of Governor B. B. Comer protesting vigorously when he was too late. Bob was ferryman on the Alabama river. Recently he rescued E. W. Bliss, passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and was presented with a gold medal by citizens, the mayor making the presentation speech. Mr. Bliss paid the funeral expenses. Bob was drowned with three others in the river on March 10, his last effort being to aid the others. He was nearly rescued when a log struck him and knocked him under. Polyclot Walter Was American. At a restaurant in the Wall street district in New York where the waiters all speak French and many of them German there is a popular waiter who is known to various regular customers as Franz, Frank and Francois. He speaks German and French with equal fluency, and on that account was the subject of a bet which he had to decide yesterday. One man who had known the waiter for years said that Franz was a German, and another was just as certain that he was French, and a third said that both men were wrong and that the linguist waiter undoubtedly came from Alsatia, or from that part of Switzerland where every child speaks three languages, each with a foreign accent. They were all surprised to hear that Frank, as he prefers to be called, was born in the Eighth ward, and has never been further from New York than Washington. White House Dances to Continue. When the merits of the Roosevelt administration are taken stock of from a social viewpoint two ideas come forward, horses and dancing. No executive in recent times has given an impetus to the horse as the present. No one has ever been so identified with dancing as Mrs. Roosevelt. At the dances which have been given every alternate Friday Mrs. Roosevelt has appeared on the floor as often as her daughter. The president has shown that he can be as strenuous on the carpet as elsewhere. Dancing having been established, it will no doubt be continued throughout the next administration. The president-elect is as light on his feet as a girl of 16 and Mrs. Taft just dotes on dancing. The Cleveland's never gave a dance and the Harrisons only one. The new order is entirely satisfactory if it becomes part of White House tradition.—New York Press. How Dickna Learned to Write. When asked by one of those wise acres who are convinced that in order to write good English a man must be taught to write bad Latin, where his son was educated, John Dickens replied with considerable aplomb that his son—er—well his son—er—might be almost said, in a sense, to have educated himself. The street, the warehouse, Mr. Creagle, an attorney's office, the reporters' gallery, and postchalse—such was the education that equipped a young man of 24 to preside at the banquet of literature at an unprecedented age, to make the best speeches in London, to go into the best society, to set the table in a roar, to lead every company in which he mixed, to travel, acquire French and Italian with ease, and write the most animated letters known to the modern world.—London Times. Drink Evil in England. Speaking before the church of England Temperance society recently, the bishop of London said that, as the result of an inquiry regarding the drink evil, 15 doctors stated that in the middle class there was a decrease of drink, 88 in fashionable practice spoke of the increase abong the well-to-do, and 93 of the increase among working women. At the request of the home office 23 London public houses were watched for four days, and 39,540 women, with 10.471 children, entered. The chief cause, said the bishop, of drinking among the well-to-do was want of occupation; among the poorer classes it was overwork and overworry. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. The Conjurer Confesses. That "the hand is quicker than the eye" is one of those accepted sayings invented by some one who knew nothing of conjuring—or, as is more likely, by some cunning conjurer who aimed still further to hoodwink a gullible public. The fact is that the best conjurer seldom makes a rapid motion, for that attracts attention, even though it be not understood. The true artist in this line is deliberate in every movement, and it is mainly by his actions that he leads his audience to look not where they ought, but in an entirely different direction, says St. Nicholas. Mr. David Devant, who for a number of consecutive years has entertained London with his ingenious tricks, has said: "The conjurer must be an actor. By the expression of his face, by his gestures, by the tone of his voice, in short, by his acting, he must produce his effects." Elephant Turned Off Water. Jule, one of the elephants at the Central park zoo in New York, gave a clever demonstration the other day of the wisdom of her tribe. There is a hydrant just outside of Jule's cage and until Saturday it had been fitted with a round handle to turn on and off the flow of water. On Saturday William Walker, the zoo plumber, fitted a new spigot on the hydrant and put it on a permanent T-shaped handle. Jule carefully examined the handle several times Sunday. She looked it over again, and after much fumbling turned it and produced a flow of water. Then she put her trunk under the stream, filled it and drank copiously. What pleased Keeper Snyder more than anything else was that she carefully turned off the flow of water after drinking. A Cruel Trap. A few days ago a man and his wife living in the Rue de la Grosse Horloge in Rouen, France, suspecting their domestic of dishonesty, laid an abominable trap. In a metal cash box they placed a shallow vessel containing vitriol. They then fixed a spiral spring inside the box and locked it. Next morning the servant, seeing no one about, opened the box with a duplicate key. The lid sprang open and she was cruelly burned by the vitriol. Her employers had her arrested, and in her room the police found over $350 in cash, a superb pair of earrings, a gold watch and chain, and a handsome necklace. The jewelry is supposed to have been stolen from previous employers. City May Have Forester. Chicago may soon have a forester to look after the planting and care of trees in the city streets. A citizens committee has taken the matter up and is planning to ask the legislature to authorize such an official. At a meeting of the committee it was urged that special assessments to defray the expenses of tree planting would not work a hardship on any property holder. The system in vogue in New Jersey and other states was reviewed and it was shown that the cost of planting trees 40 feet apart in every city street would be approximately $3,50 a year for each lot of 25 feet front.

The couple separated, the wife returning to her mother, who has recently died. Now in their old age the couple are reunited. Polleness Discouraged. A hard bow at politeness on street cars in Massachusetts was struck by the supreme court of that state a few days ago. In a damage suit the court held that if a passenger on a crowded street car gets off momentarily to permit other passengers to alight, and in getting on again is injured by the sudden starting of the car, he cannot recover from the street railway company where there is a rule under which passengers ride on the platform at their own risk.

The Old Maids Convention and the Sunbonnet play were the attractions for the evening's entertainment. Mrs. L, 8S. Black had the direction and management of both Plays. The Old Maids’ Convention, ‘the principal play, was a clever pro- duction and each participant showed some theatrical talent. The freakish costumes of the twenty old maids were comical as well as interesting. Mrs. L. 8. Black, Rev. W. T.

He discussed the various kinds of humanity, the num- bers ranging from one into a multitude eating the loaves and fishes, the power of His listeners after hearing Jesus, the effect on them and their neigh- bors and how Jesus always hit hard at race prejudice. While only a few were there to hear him yet those felt ‘how his heart burned with the Holy Ghost and fire from on high and out ‘of fifty people one young man joined ‘the church. It was a glorious meeting. ALLIANCE RE-ELECT8 OLD OF FICERS. Contrary to the avowals to the op- posite such pressure was brought upon the president and secretary of the Al- Nance and such a demonstration in the way of finance by members and non- members of the organization, that both of the officers consented to re-election.

PAGE 2 recall many pleasant recollections of her last visit to the United States. Miss Lewis is of mixed African and Indian blood, her father having been a Negro and her mother an Indian of the Chippeway tribe in New York, in which state she was born, near Albany, some time about the year 1840. Her parents died while she was still a child, and she lived and roamed with her mother's people until she was fifteen, when by the assistance of her brother she went to Oberlin, O., to college. As she was a fervent Catholic she found the atmosphere of Oberlin somewhat uncongenial, but she studied there for two or three years, and there her Indian name of Wildfire was changed to that of Edmonia Lewis. From childhood she had always had wonderful power with her hands in shaping anything she touched, and while studying she began her career as a sculptor. She came into notice in 1865 through the exhibition of her first work, a bust of Robert Gould Shaw of Boston. That same year she began work at Rome, where she has ever since resided. Her works, with but few exceptions, are now the property of members of the British nobility. They include "The Freed Woman," "The Death of Cleopatra" and portrait busts of Lincoln, Sumner and John Brown. First Judge Of His Race. Representative Men at Banquet Given In Honor of Robert H. Terrell's Promotion to Federal Judgeship at Washington. The banquet tendered Judge Terreil by his friends and admirers upon the occasion of his elevation to a federal judgeship at Washington recently was both unique and historic-unique because of the representative standing of the banqueters and historic because it was in honor of the first colored man who had ever had the honor to preside over a federal court in the United States. There have been colored justices of the peace, a position which Judge Terrell himself was holding at the time of his promotion to a judgeship of the municipal court, but this is the first instance on record in the United States of a colored man holding the judgeship of a federal court. At the banquet were two young colored men who also have attained positions in the legal world that had never before been accorded colored men. They were William H. Lewis, assistant United States district attorney at Boston, and James A. Cobb, assistant United States district attorney at Washington. Besides the two just mentioned those who responded to toasts were Major Charles Douglass, son of Fred Douglass, the greatest of Negro orators; Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce of the Washington schools, who is the son of the late Senator B. K. Bruce; Gilchrist Stewart, a prominent politician and member of the New York county Republican committee, son of T. McCants Stewart, the famous Negro lawyer; Hon. William T. Vernon, the register of the United States treasury, who is an orator of THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD much eloquence and magnetism; Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, a leading Washington dentist, member of Howard University Medical faculty; Dr. E. D. Williston, a leading physician of Washington, who was but recently grand marshal of the colored division of the inaugural parade, and Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia and joint editor of the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy, was toastmaster and performed the difficult duties with tact and ability. His facetious remarks in introducing the speakers brought forth laughter and applause. Judge Terrell acknowledged his thanks to those who tendered him the banquet in a speech teeming with hopefulness for the future of the Negro. He spoke of the remarkable metamorphosis of the Negro from a slave, a field hand, to the present positions of honor and trust which he now occupies. Seated at the banquet table were Negro clergymen, lawyers, doctors, educators, politicians, merchants, architects, insurance men, editors, government employees and men in all lines of business.

The present movement toward higher and better things in our race is due principally to two things, education and persistence. By the former great things have been accomplished in a short period of time. By the latter many of the handicaps that we labor under will be overcome. It is a most encouraging sign that practically all of us realize the necessity for education, and by education I mean particularly the education that is received in trade schools. That education gives the fundamentals of all knowledge—reading, writing, arithmetic, history and geography—and in addition gives what is so valuable to us, a trade. The matter of persistence is even harder to acquire than education. Some fortunate people are born with this, but to most of us it is necessary to acquire. But, even so, our race furnishes many good examples of persistence. One example that comes to my attention is the strong and able work done by James Ross of the Gazetteer and Guide, Buffalo. Mr. Ross is the leader of the Democratic faction in his territory, and notwithstanding the national defeat of his party last fall he has kept his organization intact. This is a case of persistence in the face of defeat. Editor Ross' example is an inspiration to all of us, for sooner or later such persistence must be shown by each one of us in order to succeed.

Inquiries after the welfare of Patrick Conroy were answered by his devoted friend, Terence Dolan, who was at the Conroys' in the double capacity of nurse and cook. "No, he's not dangerous hurt at all," was Mr. Dolan's reply to a solemnly whispered question at the door. ```markdown ``` "We heard he had a bad fall, and was all broke to pieces," whispered the neighbor. "Tis'a big story you've heard," said Mr. Dolan, in his cheerful roar. "Thrue, he fell off'n the roof o' the Brady stables where he was shingling, and he broke his lift leg, knocked out a couple o' teeth and broke his collar-bone. "Mind ye, if he'd have fell clear to the ground, it might have hurt him bad, but sure there was a big pile of shtones and old lumber that broke his fall."—Youth's Companion. Ostrich Farming Profitable. A new industry which promises great possibilities has been started in Australia. At Nardoo, Coonamble, ostrich farming is meeting with success. There are 120 ostriches on one farm. The firm is using incubators, the same as those used to hatch out the modest product of the domestic hen, only that the egg drawers are made deeper for the purpose, while the temperature for a successful hatch is 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Artificial incubation is preferred to natural. The young ostriches require careful handling for the first month or six weeks of their existence, the one essential being green food, such as lucerne. The value of the feathers produced by each bird a year is $40. They can be plucked at any time after they are large enough, and yield feathers black, white and drab in color. The male bird yields the most valuable feathers. Learn to Plan Homes. Two years ago the University of St. Petersburg decided that women might attend the lectures, as it seemed probable that this course could not contain anything that could make politicians of the students. Recently there has been an exhibition of the work of the architectural students, and experts who saw it were surprised to find that the work of the women students compares so favorably with that of the men. In the work of planning homes especially the women were most original in their ideas, and carried out details that would, as a general thing, have been beyond the men students. It is predicted that especially in home architecture the women will make a success of their work. . Chance for Students of Feyers. The Mexican Academy of Medicine has appropriated $25,000 for the purpose of discovering the cause of typhus, and to develop a cure for the fever. Of the amount $10,000 will be awarded to the person or persons discovering the cure. A like amount will be given to the person or persons discovering a serum which will kill the typhus germ in the blood. In the event of any one person solving both problems an effort will be made to have the government give a proper reward. Five thousand dollars will be distributed among the persons who have most efficiently helped in solving the problem. Sets Law of Kitchen. A "law of the kitchen" has been set THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. forth in England in an opinion by a county judge. He holds that where the mistress of a house goes to the kitchen to aid the maid of all work the two are brought on terms of equality such as would not be tolerated in larger establishments. The case was that of a cook and general maid who sought to recover a month's wages from her former mistress in lieu of notice. The mistress asserted that the servant always "answered her back," but the judge held that under the circumstances this was not sufficient to justify dismissal. Man's Contrariness. One of the most curious traits of that most curious creature, Man, is the fact that the very things he most admires in a sweetheart he condemns or ignores in a wife! Before they were married, when she coquettishly stuck a flower in her pretty curls he went into rhapsodies of romantic fervour. After the honeymoon, when she tries the same little Cupid's trick he most likely does not even see that she has adorned herself with a floral wreath to win a compliment or a kiss.—Annesley Kenealy, in Woman's Life. Live and Let Live. A neatly attired but somewhat wan-faced middle-aged Italian woman, dressed in black, leading a little boy with each hand, called at a lawyer's office in the Land Title building recently and arranged with him to apply for a divorce. After going over the history of her case the lawyer said: "Well, I suppose you want to get alimony?" In slightly accented, though nearly perfect English, the client replied: "I would just like to get part of his money, that's all."—Philadelphia Record. A Dog and a Button. A boy ten years old, at Chester, Pa., held a button in his mouth while playing with the cat, and some movement of his sent it into his gullet. He could do nothing to relieve himself, and, choking and gasping, he ran along the street to find a doctor. Seeing him running, a dog took after him and bit him in the leg, and the yell the boy gave sent the button flying out of his mouth and ten feet away. It is cheaper to be bitten by a dog than to pay the doctors. The Good Old Days A Leicester (Eng.) man, who is believed to be 103 years of age, remembers taking service with a Spalding farmer for 4d. a day and a little milk in the mornings, sometimes paying out of his wages 8d. a week for his lodgings elsewhere, and finding his food and clothes. He says the poor of those days did not eat so much as they do now. He had bought tea in London at 14s. a pound. Dickens' Method of Speaking. Before making a speech Charles Dickens would decide on his various heads and then in his mind's eye liken the whole subject to the tire of a cart wheel—he being the hub. From the hub to the tire he would run as many spokes as there were subjects to be treated and during the progress of the speech he would deal with each spoke separately, elaborating them as he went round the wheel; and when all the spokes dropped out one by one and nothing but the tire and space remained he would know that he had accomplished his task and that his speech was at an end. Humor in Public Men. statesman who can privately rewarm himself by the fire of alk is ordinarily better fitted work than the one who keeps perpetually tense. But humor or misplaced is fatal to men office. Not to judges alone is counsel applicable, that in public appearances they should be learned than witty."—Newst. Seer More and Blow Less. same amount of effort exon the automobile horn to get o move out of your way were move the steering wheel so as not to seem to bear dipon the person in front, and should steer around wagons in i, as nine times out of ten you in the end, rather than blow Dances to Raise Money for Charity. Lady Constance Richardson says she is a poor woman, but she is anxious to found a school in Scotland for boys where they will be taught outdoor exercise as much as anything else. She dances for money for this purpose and a feature is the flowing robe of the classic dance and bare feet. Eight-Hundred-Year-Old Industry. Salt-making by the evaporation of sea water has been carried on at Maidon, Essex, England, ever since the time of the Domesday survey. The town council have granted permission for the borough arms to be placed on all packages of salt sent from the town about the Limit of Desire. How glad the old world must be that the beauty cult keeps alive. Sir Philip Sidney's Stella offered him "service and honor, wonder with delight, fear to offend." These ought to suit any man when accompanied with pink cheeks and bright eyes. Importance of Figure. " said the esthetic Johnny Dad "the beauty of a check depends y on its figure."—Harvard Lam- \dvancement in Illustration. Up to 1879 no other methods were used for plates in fine art illustration than line engraving, and for blocks than wood engraving. Lithography scarcely entered into consideration, photographic reproduction was unknown. Etchings were out of fashion, and mezzotint was found unworkable for large numbers. Twenty years later, line engraving was practically a dead art, and wood engraving was rapidly becoming so. Reproductions based on photography develop, until color photography appears a possible method of actual book illustration Pleased Philatelists. The postal authorities of England paid a high compliment to the stamp collectors of the world when they provided a special cancelling stamp for use in Manchester on the three days of the stamp exposition in that city recently. The canceling mark was circular in design and about an inch in diameter, and around its borders were the words "International Stamp Exposition, Manchester, 1909." Thus for once, were the philatelists officially recognised. PAGE. 3. Office Phone Main 5595. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P. E. SPRATLIN Rooms—31-2 Good Block.

When a newspaper makes an agregious error, it is called a bull. Of such a nature was the article appearing as follows in last week's Statesman: Mrs. Mary O'Steam of the Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, who had in charge the issuing of the policies, wishes to state that there was a misunderstanding between her and the grand secretary at the time of issuing the policies to the members, and that she was unaware that her trip to Missouri and Kansas was interfering with the work of the order. In the eighth line the words "at the time" should have been "as to the time," giving an entirely different meaning. We regret that poor proof reading made Mrs. O'Steam say that she had trouble with Mr. Cammell, when she only meant to say that she did not have the same understanding THE S.ATESMAN. DENVER.

Removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and viror. Dellicately perfumed, its use is a pleasure, as ladies of refinement everywhere declare. Ford's Hair Pomade has imitators. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good."

Nipher. The corner was fermed by bending sharply the con- ducting wire. A photographic plate, inclosed in a harl-rubber holder, was placed under the wire in such a way that the discharge ‘would descend toward it, then turn at a right angle and pass horizontally above it. It was found that when a negative discharge passed down the wire to the angle the electrical particles kept straight on their way instead of turning, pene- trated the rubber cover and affected the inclosed plate. But when the dis- charge was positive no such effect was produced. The current apparently turned the right-angled corner without, so to speak, shooting off at the bend. Seek to Prevent Burial Alive. Members of an Enczlish organization known as the Association for the Pre- vention of Premature Burial are en- deavoring to form similar societies in this country, and great numbers of circulars containing grewsome statis- tics are being sent to persons in all parts of the country. It is proposed to take from relatives and underta- kers the right to make the death diag- nesis and to allow only physicians to do this and to apply the tests for the establishment of the fact. that the per- eon is really dead. The society pro- peses also to establish “waiting mor- tuaries,” “lighted, ventilated and pleasiuzly furnished,” where bodies tay be placed under observation until there is no longer any doubt as to death. Vatuable Scientific Discovery. Prof. Florence has devised a new method of examining and photogyaph- ing opaque microscopic objects. Apply- ing this method to the examination of traces of blood on weapons, he was able to recognize distinctly red blood corpuscles which had escaped discoyv- ery by expert examiners. The meth- od, which is susceptible of other than medico-legal applications, is charac- terized by the fact that the light by which the object is illuminated is ad- niitted into the tube of the microscope, whence it is reflected by prisms to the object glass, which converges it upon the object “Bridge” in a iXitchen. A Brooklyn lady says her cook’s a splendid bridge-player, and the game goes on below stairs every night with appropriate festivities. Sbe has a great collection of prizes which she has won, and her mistress, though knowing nothing of cards, {s satisfied bridge is an excellent resource, and encourages the meetings of “the club.” “They do have such good times,” she declares. “But, oh, if Marianne would cnly cook as well as she plays the game; in sheer gratitude, I might take a hand myself.” British Women Voters. A return of the number of women yoters in England and Wales who are qualified to vote for county councils and for councilors in municipal bor- oughs shows that the women’s fran- chise for county councils extends to 563,961 for England and 41,945 for Wales,. making a total of 605,906. For county borough councils in Eng- lend and Wales the number is 265, 862, and for noncounty borough coun- cils there are 131,421 voters for Eng- land, 5,903 for Wales, making a total of 137,324. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. German Red Tape. A Danzig, Germany, paper tells a story of incredibie red tapeism recent ly witnessed in that city. A fire broke out at a big sugar factory and great damage was done in’ a few minutes. The flames were rapidly spreading, but it was hoped that the storehouse containing 13,000 casks of raw sugar, each holding a hundredweight, might be saved, and all efforts of the fire brigade were turned in that quarter. Mere, however, several custom house oficers suddenly appeared and forbade the firemen to enter the warehouse, on the ground that the duties had not yet been regulated. Despite energetic opposition the officers stuck to their principles, and the whole stuff was consumed by the flames.—Baker's Weekly. Tone and Tune. When your vitality is low you need “toning up.” Why not “tuning up?” Same thing. We are all pianos, just a mass of sounding boards, keys and strings. We get out of tune and tone; we run down, just like an eight-day clock, and require rewinding. Look at your Wife to-morrow morning and see if she is out of tune, If she is cross you will say she got out of bed with the wrong foot foremost. Not a bit of sense in that. She simply got up from her night's rest out of tune, or tone Tune her up! Tone her up! In her finest health she may be a G sharp; when not so well she may be at D. Have your family kit of tuning irons; give her a test; then bring her up to pitch —New York Press. Was Once Great City. No city has a happier name than Ispahan—the “rendezvous.” When vis- ited by the traveler Chardin in the ear- ly part of the eighteenth century, It contained 173 mosques, 48 colleges, 1,800 caravansaries and 273 public baths. But the Afghans, the local van- dals, who did not care for bathing, destroyed the aqueducts and slaugh- tered the bathers. In the matter of great public squares Ispahan can eas!- ly outrival any European city. The Meyden, or great square, is a third of a mile in length and®about half that breadth. It was once encircled by a canal bordered by fine plane trees, but tthese have long since vanished along with the canal. Where to Pat a Horse. A horse lover, who is also learned in the ways of horses, has been trying to induce kindly disposed persons who pet horses to do so in « manner that will give the animals pleasure. Most persons stroke the horse’s nose, an operation which only a well behaved animal will tolerate, and, even he cannot be said to get satisfaction out of such caressing. Gentle rubbing over his eyes or up between his ears gives him great pleasure, because here are certain nerve centers that are stimulated by this friction. Most of those who know how to pet a horse Properly were brought up in the coun- try and thus learned to know. the horse as city boys can never do, Seats for Everybody, The Ineliana legislature is taking steps to insure better seating capacity in its interurban cars.

Growth of Negro Baptists Encouraging. Secretary Jordan's Great Work. Twenty-nine years ago there were only 800,000 Negro Baptists in all the world; today they number 2,330,535. Twenty-nine years ago they opened their first mission station among the Vey people in west Africa; today they have 135 ordained and lay missionaries laboring in west, south and east central Africa, South America, the West Indies and Russia. The foreign mission board, which has in its charge this branch of work, with Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., as general secretary, is located in the Douglass building at Louisville, Ky. They are making a stupendous effort for reaching their whole denomination in the interest of a great rally which occurs on Easter Sunday. A whole carload of paper has been printed into quite 200,000 programs, which are now being scattered to every corner of the United States. There are many things transpiring that tell of a wonderful awakening in Africa's behalf. Lieutenant Arnold of the Belgian army, who has done more than his share of pillaging and burning villages, assassinating, chopping off the feet and hands of people who could not gather their task of rubber in the Kongo Free State, has just been sentenced to twelve years' imprisonment in Belgium as the result of constant efforts of the Christian people in behalf of the Kongo natives. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will pass through Uganda, one of the brightest religious spots on the continent. His SPOONMAN REV. L. G. JORDAN. route takes him through the Chiradzulu district, where only two American missionaries, black or white, have ever gone. These were Miss E. B. De Lany and Rev. L. N. Cheek, under the auspices of the Negro Baptist missionary board. They have a good brick school and church building and two brick homes for missionaries on a hundred acres of good land, much of which is in a fair state of cultivation. Indications point to a brighter day for the redemption of long wronged, outraged Africa. Ethiopia must, in keeping with the word of God. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. "stretch forth her hand" to him and "princes shall come out of Egypt." princes shall come out of Egypt. It is cheering to remember that the A. M. E. church, the A. M. E. Zion church and the national Baptist convention, the three largest bodies of Negro Christians, will rally for Africa on Easter day. DUNBAR WOMEN'S THEME. Life and Works of Negro Poet Discussed Before Industrial Classes. The Woman's Loyal union, New York city, is among the first of the many women's clubs now doing successful work in the interest of charitable and benevolent institutions. The club, under the able leadership of its president, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier, recently entertained the classes in industrial work at the Lincoln Settlement House, in Brooklyn. The primary object of the Woman's Loyal union is to disseminate Negro literature among its members and encourage and acquaint the public with the best books and magazines written by prominent men and women of the Negro race. To reach the public more largely they now purpose to hold meetings at stated intervals in the various communities of Greater New York, at which the achievements and noble deeds of Afro-Americans will be presented for discussion. The subject discussed at this meeting was the life and works of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, who was styled the poet laureate of the Negro race. Successful Revival. Rev. M. W. Vaughn, pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church at Plainfield, N. J., recently assisted the Rev. J. C. Love in a two weeks' revival at the latter's church at Montclair, N. J., which was a grand success in winning souls to Christ. In appreciation of Rev. Mr. Vaughn's services the church presented him with the sum of $50 at the close of the series of meetings. Negro Chief Musicians. General Bell, chief of staff, has been informed by President Taft that in the future only Negro chief musicians are to be appointed to Negro regiments. White chief musicians who have been serving with Negro troops have been transferred to white regiments. American's Success Abroad. A. Goldsmith of Port Melbourne, Australia, who went to that country from the United States about forty years ago to engage in business as a dyer and scourer, has amassed a fortune of from $40,000 to $50,000. He is regarded as one of the leading business men of Port Melbourne. In Honor of W. H. Baldwin, Jr. A memorial for William H. Baldwin, Jr., former president of the Long Island Railroad company, was unveiled at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, recently. Mr. Baldwin, who died in 1905, was a trustee of Tuskegee institute and Smith college and a member of the southern education board. Throughout his life Mr. Baldwin took a keen interest in education and did much for the uplift of the Negro. He was a graduate of Harvard of the class of '85. Ohioan Shrewd Business Man. W. H. James, an Afro-American who went to Auckland, New Zealand, from Cleveland, O., about ten years ago, has won success. He is now a contractor and as such employs hundreds of white men on public works. He is rated at $40,000. Phone Main 2275 TWO JIMS' SOCIAL CLUB Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort Whirl pool, chess checkers and other pastime games 1859 Champa Street --- JA8.

PAQK.&. . a A contributor to this paper tast week is of the opinion that the citizen rights of the Negro are not secure. His logic and his illustrations are in- deed calculated to startle us out of our complacency. This writer asks, Can the Negro, deprived of the ballot, maintain bimself among unfriendly neighbors? In other words, with no assistance from the national govern- ment, can we be assured that our property rights will not be taken away just as our political rights have been? Such a fate would have overtaken the Japanese. in California if their nome government had not through fear of war or commercial reprisal, enlisted our federal government in the cause of its subjects. In California as in Mississippi the legislators have made no claim of doing justice in passing laws to hamper the dark races. ‘rhey have simply claimed that the suprem- acy of the white race must be main- tained at any cost, and have stopped at nothing to accomplish their pur- pose. BUT NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REASONS GIVEN FOR FORCING A DISTINCTION BE- TWEEN RACES BY MEANS OF THE LAW: “Negroes are criminal, shiftless, a child race,” and coercive legislation is for their good as mucn as for the protection of the whites. For the Japanese it was claimed that their moral standards were different, that their scale of living’ was too cheap for American labor to compete, and that their commercial ideas would in time give them supremacy here in this country, tc the injury ot the white race. The one race must be legislated against because it was in- ferior and mixture of blood or of in- dividuals would lower the white stand- ard. The other could make more of a given opportunity, and the law must be used to put sufficient handicap upon it to permit the whites to win. A game of heads we win, tails you lose. This discussion of our future is brought up by the reception accorded the president’s avowed intention to * appoint no Negroes to office in the South over the opposition of the rul- ing classes there. At the time of the publication of the president’s views, we, believed in his good intentions, and do yet. But his views seem to have been received both by the whites of the South and by our people there as the expression of the intention of the federal government to give up even the pretence of the enforcement of the war amendments. It is the same as the famous speech of Booker T. Washington at the Atlantic Exposi- tion. Whatever Mr. Washington may have meant, his statement that Ne- groes and whites might be divided as the ‘fingers on the hand, but united in that they work together for one purpose, has been interpreted to mean that Negroes are willing to be led wherever whites see fit, and has fur- nishe@: the text for the enactment of disfranchisereent laws in the various states. We do not believe that any ‘such outcome was foreseen by Mr. Washington of his industrial idea, but it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us. It was the wisdom of the North at the close of the war that the Negro could not maintain nimself without the ballot, and however ill- fitted we are now to exercise this privilege and safeguard of citizenship, we were far less then. However severe our competition with wuites then gave cause for legislative handi- caps, it certainly gives more now. In short, the future of the race is darker because of its material progress un- less we are safeguarded. Unlike the Japanese we are not aliens witn a home government to speak or fight for us, but we are Americans in the full- est sense of the word, and if the powerful arm of our own government does not protect us in the enjoyment of lives and property, racial strife and extermination await us. It is for the federal government to speak or fight fer us, but we are Am- ericans in the fullest sense oi te word, and if the powerful arm of our own government does not protect us in the enjoyment of lives and prop- erty, racial strife and extermination awalt us. It is for the federal government to put the means of protection in our own hands, for no class of citizens are so altruistic that they may be trusted to legislate fairly for their neignpors. If the president tries to offset his acts in the South by too much representa- tion in the North he will overleap himself. And so it appears that if the future of the race is to be sufe- guarded, the nation will have to re- turn to justice and equality. The fed- eral government will have to see tnat the evasive election laws of the South are fairly applied or the evil will grow. There was no compromise for siav- ery, and there can be none for serf- dom. The time of the year has come for a sermonette upon the vanity of aress, A few days more and throughout the land saint and sinner, prince and pau- per will be arrayed in a greater dis- play of purple and fine linen than is their wont. And after all it is well. Self-respect and good appearance are so often companions one is led to be- lieve that the wearer of good clothes tries to live up to them. The other side of Easter dressing, is not so pleasant. We refer to the improper sacrifices made for mere clothes. Some people will dress to their shame. Unpaid bills, squalid homes, ignorance, lack of culture, and finally the potter’s field, all might be avoided in many cases were it not for the love of dress. Yet it is not the clothes that are at fault, but the senseless sacrifice of all that is good in life for the mere appearance. Let’s celebrate the Hastertide with good clothes, if we can afford them; but whether we can or not, let’s throw off the old habit and put on the new of upright manhood, endowed with all the mental strength and spiritual re- juvenation typified by the risen Christ.

Recently she played before Sir Henry Heyman (formerly violinist for King Edward), who encouraged her and who predicts unusual success if she continued as she has begun.
