SNOW NO IMPEDIMENT TO EASTER CELEBRATION TWENTIETH YEAR SNOW NO TO E It seemed by the looks of Zion church Sunday that the church was decorated better this time than ever before. It may have been because the skillful as well as unique way of arranging the palms, flowers and the interlacing purple and white colors. The birds were there and it was hard to tell whose music was the sweetest, that of the birds or of the choir. Rev. D. E. Over preached the 'Risen Christ." The revered handle us subject in a wise masterful way. bringing out polished and plain facts in the Master's life. It was a spiritual feast. Whatever we might say in the way of praise of the choir will not add one lota to the glory that they received Sunday night. They made a noticeable improvement over last Easter's program. Mr. Gatewood's tenor had much to do with the musical effect of the singing. It is no longer doubted that just as great a sermon can be preached by a song as by the minister. Campbell A. M. E. church, Central, Bethlehem Baptist and Scott's M. E. church fittingly observed Easter with program from the Sunday School, who took up missionary phase of the church work. It was certainly inspiring to see how the various little ones told how Easter had a significant three-fold meaning—the coming of spring, the resurrection of Christ and the celebrating of passover by feasts, etc. Two days in the middle year to children thoroughly enjoy, Easter and Children's day, and to see the miniature men and women upholding and advancing the cause of Christ fills anew the milest sinner with hope that passeth all understanding. Ward Chapel also had a glorious time with a large representative Sunday School. SHORTER CHURCH RALLIES. hTe successful issue of the rally at Shorter church last Sunday is in sight.

The inclementy of the weather for some weeks has seriously interfered with them, and the snow of Sunday prevented a complete report at that time. However, the captains still remaining are expected to report in a few days, bringing the total amount raised up to the $1,200 which was asked for. Shorter church has earned in a days past and gone the reputation of being the banner church of the Conference in finance, and this year she has driven a few nails in the flag so that it cannot come down. Rev. Ward is blessed with a loyal set of members, and the improvements planned are going to add much to the comfort and beauty of their spiritual home. Job asked the question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" and even Paul, the Apostle, answered: "If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is our preaching vain, and your faith also vain. These were the points so emphatically brought out in Rev. Ward's Sunday morning sermon to a packed house where even standing room was at a premium.' At the rally in the afternoon when the snow was falling fast, every club of the 100 was represented save 14. The rally had been carefully and skillfully planned and Sunday afternoon was the time to see the effectiveness of the methods employed. Mr. C. A. Tasker, one of Shorter's loyal and faithful old reliables, came up with the largest amount, beating 99 other clubs. He was captain of Club No. 52. A study of Sunday afternoon's figures reveals the following information: There were two clubs which had $20 and over, each; 11 which had $15 and over, each; 24 had $12 and over, each; 32 had $5 and over, while 8 had $2 and over, and one with $1. The different auxiliaries gave as follows: The Pastors' Club, $13.37; Christian Endeavor, $15; Sewing Circle, $22, and the Sunday School, $74.34, making a total, including the collection of State Historian & Historical History Society service, of $1,045.85, with ing in two weeks. This quite sufficient to make repairs, improvements is that Shorter has been a need of.

An important coming event among Afro-American secret societies at Baltimore will be the grand dedicatory celebration and reception of Monument lodge, No. 3, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, on the occasion of entering its new hall and home on Hoffman street Monday evening, April 19. The following out of town lodges have been invited to assist in the ceremony: Paul Laurence Dunbar lodge, No. 106, Wilmington, Del.; Anthracite lodge, No. 57, Scranton, Pa.; Morning Star lodge, No. 40, Washington; Capital City lodge, No. 11, Richmond, Va.; Excelsior lodge, No. 4, Hampton, Va.; M.

Philadelphia. The hall is located in the best residential section of the city and was erected at a cost of $4.000. Monumental lodge was organized about nine years ago and has steadily increased in membership and grown in public favor until at the present time 200 loyal men constitute its membership, and its influence for good is felt in many directions. Financially the organization is in a flourishing condition. The officers of the lodge are the following: Rev. Joseph L. Butler, exalted ruler; George W. F. McMechen, esteemed leading knight; Asa Porter, esteemed lecturing knight; Norman Simms, esteemed loyal knight; Samuel Taylor, esquire; Nelson Price, secre FIVE CENTS A- COPY High Honor For Emmett J. Scott Private Secretary to Booker T. Washington Appointed on Liberian Commission. One of Three Greatest Secretaries of the Times. Says Carnegie. By R. W. THOMPSON. The first Negro to be honored officially by the new administration at Washington is Emmett J. Scott, a young man who has earned international fame as the private secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. Mr. Scott has been named as a member of the commission provided by congress to investigate the financial, industrial and agricultural resources of the Liberian republic. The appointment came to Mr. Scott wholly unsolicited. After the conclusion had been reached that Dr. Washington, for good and sufficient reasons, could best serve the nation and his race by remaining in the United States, President Taft, having personal knowledge of Mr. Scott's exceptional fitness for the delicate and responsible duties connected with the Liberian inquiry, tendered him a place on the commission and, in fact, strongly urged him to accept it. The appointment meets the hearty approval of the press and public throughout the land, and all agree that a more competent man could not have been found for the work in hand. The other two commissioners are W. Morgan Shuster of the District of % HON. EMMETT J. SCOTT. Columbia, chairman, and Dr. George Sale of Georgia, who is the superintendent of education for Negro schools under the control of the American Baptist Home society. George A. Finch of the department of state will accompany the commission as secretary. Captain Sydney A. Cloman, Third infantry, now military attache at London: Major Percy M THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Ashburn of the medical corps of the army and Frank A. Flower, who has been long a student of African affairs, will accompany the commission. The commission will sail from Hampton Roads the latter part of April on the cruisers Chester, Birmingham and Salem and will remain in Liberia about a month. From the standpoint of the race Mr. Scott is the most interesting member of the commission. He is yet a young man—in his thirties perhaps—but in his comparatively brief span of existence he has had unusually large experience in dealing with intricate problems and handling affairs that would tax the resources of the wisest. He is a native of Texas, and the finishing touches of his liberal education were acquired at Wiley university, at Marshall, Tex., from which he bore an honor diploma and carries the degree of A. M. His early years of employment were spent in the office of the Houston Post, the most influential daily known to the great southwest. In this admirable training school he imbibed his first inspiration for high grade journalism and laid the foundation for the brilliant literary career from which he is now reaping golden rewards, with an outlook for even more gratifying triumphs in the future. From a humble beginning in the office of the Houston Post Mr. Scott rose through the faithful and conscientious discharge of his duties to positions of increasing power and responsibility until he resigned to go into business for himself. Becoming editor and manager of the Texas Freeman, in conjunction with Charles N. Love, he presented to the Lone Star State the livest Negro journal of news and opinion that that immense commonwealth had ever known. While winning his spurs in the journalistic field he also served as private secretary to that master of political science, Hon. N. Wright Cuney, a leader such as Texas had never had before and has never had since his passing. To Mr. Cuney Mr. Scott was ardently devoted. Twelve years of so ago Dr. Booker T. Washington visited Houston and lectured to the people in the interest of Tuskegee institute. Mr. Scott headed the committee on arrangements. So perfectly was the affair managed that Dr. Washington became deeply impressed with the executive ability displayed by the enterprising young man and finally secured his consent to go with him to Tuskegee as his private secretary. In this capacity, as the world knows, Mr. Scott has had a remarkable career. So closely has he fitted into the Tuskegee system that he has become practically indispensable to the welfare of the institution and an essential factor in all of the varied interests, educational and otherwise, represented by Dr. Washington. During a large portion of each year the "wizard" is absent from the school, and the entire burden of caring for the thousand and one details of that massive "beehive of industry" falls upon the shoulders of Mr. Scott. Painstaking and thorough, tactful and discreet, patient and well poised, modest and unassuming withal, he bears his great responsibilities with the skill and balance of a veteran. Clean of life, lofty in his ideals, possessing a winning personality, no young man in this broad land of ours can boast of a more widespread and genuine popularity among the masses or who has a longer list of friends and admirers among the forces that control the destinies of the empire. Andrew Carnegie, the "steel king" and giver of libraries, in all sincerity characterizes Mr. Scott as one of the three greatest private secretaries of the times, the other two being the late Daniel S. Lamont and George B. Cortelyou, both of whom rose by sheer merit from the ranks to the proud estate of cabinet members. In many ways Mr. Scott has rendered substantial service to his race. As corresponding secretary of the National Negro Business league he has been instrumental in bringing both known and unknown material uplifters to the front through the carefully balanced annual programs prepared under his general direction. His unerring judgment of men and keen discrimination, as well as tactful encouragement of the worthy and progressive, have been the means of quickening the commercial instinct of the race everywhere and developing hundreds of solid business enterprises among the Negro people. To him is due the entire credit of calling the attention of the war department to the advisability of having Negro bandmasters for Negro regiments in the United States army and for securing from former President Roosevelt the order directing that the bands of all four of the colored regiments should be hereafter led by chief musicians of their own color, thus opening a new and valuable door of opportunity to the aspiring Negro musician. As a versatile and well informed writer, Mr. Scott has contributed much readable matter to the principal newspapers and magazines of both races in the United States. Mr. Scott is happily married. His beautiful home at Tuskegee is presided over by a charming wife, and five interesting children have come to shed sunshine therein. Mr. Scott carries with him to Africa the best wishes of a united race, who bespeak for him a degree of success in keeping with his past record of productive achievements. President Taft, the people of Liberia, the American republic, the Negro race here and Mr. Scott himself will all be just sharers in the results that accrue from the work of this important commission. WARNING TO THE RACE. Make Future Appeals For Justice to People, Not Political Parties. The Negro's appeal for justice must in the future be made not to political parties, but to the people who constitute the good hearts in this nation, and he must make a determined effort to crystallize public sentiment in the direction of his political and civic disadvantages and seek to show thinking white men and women who still have faith in him that, despite the roseate hue which is said to surround his progress, he is not getting a square deal, never had one and never will have one unless there is an eclipse of faith and a change of heart among the solid white men of the United States who make and control the sentiment which governs and directs in this nation. Negro Merchant In New Field. Negro Merchant In New Field. James R. Thompson, who recently opened a five and ten cent store at New York, is succeeding admirably. It is a new business venture among Afro-Americans, and its progress will be watched with unusual interest by all classes in the upper section of the city, where there are hundreds of similar stores among the foreign element. The key to success is well put by N. B. Dodson, who said recently that "by persistence alone can we hope to overcome all obstacles." PAGE. 10. KNIGHTS TEMPLARS SERMON. Order Organized For Religious Work Known For Its Great Charity. The annual sermon to Gethsemane commandery, No. 3, Knights Templars, was preached by the Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., in the Bethany Baptist church at Brooklyn recently. Among the past eminent commanders present were Charles Johnson, John Hardy, Thomas Stewart and Peter Drummins. Among the visiting brothers were Past Eminent Commanders Eugene Phillips and Thomas Wright of Ivanhoe commandery, New York city. The Women's Helping Hand of the commandery was also present. Rev. Dr. Powell took for his text Ephesians vi, 10-18, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might." He said in part: "The order was organized for religious work. They erected a house near Jerusalem for the protection of the pilgrims and were known for great charity. Their great luminary was the Bible, which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Passwords are nothing new. They are as old as creation. The Canaanites knew signs, etc., before God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldea. God gave Moses a password before he sent him to Egypt. God told him to say that the 'I am sent him.' This order was founded for the protection and the promotion of virtue and morality. Its very groundwork is truth, for which many have been put to death. Your color reminds you that truth must prevail wherever human foot treads the soil. The hilt of your sword represents faith, the blade hope and the point charity. You must apply yourselves to the duty of soldiers, and as a soldier you must have a good heart that will not shrink from any foe. Every foot of the ground is to be contested, and you must have a courageous heart and be able to endure hardship. Natural strength is utter weakness without God. We need active faith, which must be exerted in our Christian living. The soldier must be well armed. All the graces must be in use. God prepares and presents the armor to you, and you are to fight against the wiles of the devil. You can't be a true knight and get drunk. You can't be a true knight unless you have an experimental knowledge of the peace of God which passeth all understanding. You are not a Mason unless you are an honest and sincere protector of virtue, morality and the church of God. Live up to the principles of your order and the Christian church will have no greater auxiliary in saving men and making the world better." Right Must Triumph Over Wrong. The Afro-American should no longer be regarded by the people of the United States as a stranger in a strange land. The sunlight of civilization is too bright, Christianity is too powerful weapon in the battle for human rights, and the Christian consciences of the people will not always be seared with injustice and oppression. Right must triumph over wrong. Who Owns the United States? "If anybody thinks that this is a white man's country," said George T. Langston at a big meeting of the Carlton avenue Y. M. C. A., at Brooklyn, recently, "let the white people pay the Negro for his 250 years' services, and we will see whose country this is!" FOR WALL STREET SUCCESS. Just a Few of the Qualifications Necessary if One Is to "Beat the Game." The clergyman who says that he can take "a $100 bill, a pencil and a pad" and make a fortune in Wall street recommends the process only to those who possess one important qualification. They must know the game. Given that, the rest is easy. To know the game thoroughly it is necessary to be in the confidence of the board when ten per cent. dividends are to be declared; to learn ahead of the crowd what stock is next to be marked up on the strength of rumors of dividend guarantees; what bankrupt road is to be sold to a system; what manipulation the bull pool is about to undertake, and to have other advance information equally helpful. It is given to few to possess this knowledge, no doubt by a wise provision of nature which permits the many to be sacrificed that the most fit may survive. If it were possible for any one with a $100 bill to become a Wall street millionaire the aggregation of swollen fortunes would menace the republic. Doubtless in the case of the clergyman in question the gain to the ministry involved the loss of a magnate to the financial world. But for the ordinary run of speculators there is no place where a little learning is so dangerous a thing as in Wall street. MULES NOT HARD TO HANDLE Horse and mule men at the stock yards stood in admiration the other afternoon while the soldiers of Battery A and B, Second United States artillery, loaded 13 cars of mules in 25 minutes. It was a new record on the loading docks, and it wasn't accomplished by any unusual methods either. Nor was the mule driver's vocabulary resorted to. How did they do it? The lieutenant simply called the roll and the mules responded to their names. "Nigger," called an officer, and a little black gun mule ambled up. "Now, Mollie, you're next; now Cyclone," and Cyclone came like a cyclone. If a mule was refractory a few men in khaki took hold of him and pushed and shoved him into place. "No wonder," said an envious mule driver, "they know their mules; they couldn't do them all that way." "That so?" said a non-commissioned officer. "I guess we could. It's all in knowing how. You never want to flinch around a mule. Never look back when you leave him. After you know how, mules are easier to handle than horses"—Kansas City Times. How the Baby Bird Flew. J. M. Barrie has a little fable in one of his works about a baby lark asking its mother to teach it to fly. The mother thought hard about how she herself had learned to fly long ago last year, but all she could recall was that you suddenly do it. "Walt till the sun comes out after the rain," she said, half remembering. The rain came and glued the bird's wings together. "I shall never be able to fly nor to sing," it wailed. Then of a sudden it had to blink its eyes for a glorious light had spread over the world. The baby bird's breast swelled, it did not THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. know wny, and it nuttered from the ground, it did not know how. "The sun has come out after the rain," it trilled. "Thank you, sun, thank you," and it floated up crying: "Thank you." An Optical Illusion. Did you ever try to see through your hand? By following these directions you may at least make yourself believe you are looking right through the palm. Out of a piece of pasteboard about five inches square roll a tube. Have one end just large enough to fit around the eye, and the other a little smaller. Take the tube between the thumb and fingers of the right hand; put the larger end to your eye, and press your left hand against the smaller end. Keep both eyes open. Objects beyond the left hand will be plainly visible, and there will appear to be a hole through the center of the palm. It is the uncovered left eye which is actually doing all the seeing, but so far as appearances go, it will seem as if the right eye were seeing, right straight through the left hand. Well Answered. During the encampment of several regiments of British soldiers in a certain district the wood and turf used for cooking purposes were carted by the neighboring farmers. One day a donkey-cart full of turf was brought in, the driver being a country lad. As a regimental band was playing, he stood in front of the donkey and held the animal tightly by the head. Some of the "smart ones" gathered round, highly pleased, and the wit of the party asked why he "held his brother so tightly." The reply was crushing: "I'm afraid he might enlist." Well-Stocked. Last summer a typical down-easter furnished a New York author, who had a cottage in a Maine village, with farm produce. One day when the man called with a wagon-load of vegetables, the author, wishing to make himself agreeable, asked how much stock he kept on his farm. "Five cows an' a bull," enumerated the farmer, "'nd two yokes of oxen, a calf, a hoss, an' three shares of Maine Central."—Youth's Companion. Refuse to Admit Women. The fellows of the Geological society of London have rejected by 50 votes to 40 a proposal to admit women members. This result was arrived at after hours of discussion. The decision binds the society unless a meeting is called for the purpose of reconsidering the question. How Ono Got His Name. "An example of a curious Christian name may be found," says a correspondent, "nearer your offices than most of the cases you have printed. The facts are these. The father of a boy baby wished him to be christened Thomas. The mother favored the name of Robert. When they arrived at the church the matter was still undecided. The father informed the curate that the child's name was Thomas. "'Oh, no!" gasped the mother distressfully. "The curate regarding the woman as the ruling spirit promptly baptized the infant Ono. "The grave of Ono Titchener is to be seen in the churchyard of St. Giles', Camberwell."—London News. Western University THE LEADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR NEGROES IN THE WEST.

Observed by Chinese Rain Is Desired. Prayers for rain are a common feature of religious observance in China, and the attendant ceremonial sometimes takes strange forms. A correspondent of the North China Herald reports a curious celebration which recently took place in Chenyuan. The orthodox three days' fast was proclaimed, and the officials went to the temples to present incense, while the people organized a procession with a plenitude of gongs and drums. As the processionists passed along the street they were drenched with water by the residents, who had tubs in readiness. "But the great peculiarity of the occasion was a dog. He was tied sitting up in a common chair with an old garment round his shoulders and an old 'big man's hat' on his head. He got a double share of the water along the route and seemed to have entirely exhausted the glory and the fun of his position. The explanation of the ceremony was his. Among the domestic animals the dog is placed lowest. But the people in their attempt to move the pity of heaven said in effect: 'We will put ourselves lower than the dog, we will give him the honor of riding in state as our master, if only you will give us rain.'" The correspondent adds that rain fell before sunset. American Girls Responsible. Probably the American woman is answerable for a good deal of the unrest among the daughters of France for she comes among them with all sorts of daring projects and perfectly lovely clothes. She marries their brothers, she studies art, music and literature in their country and she walks serenely on along the path of liberty, to the amazement of men, angels and the Parisian.—The Queen. ```markdown ``` Office Phone No. 1423.

ANCIENT ORDER OF MOSES, Forty-second Annual Sermon at Brook~ lyn Occasion For Generous Gifts. The forty-second annual thanksgiy- ing sermon of the Ancient United Cr- der of Moses, which was preached by the Rev. A. R. Cooper, D. D., in the Bridge Street A. M. BH. church at Brooklyn recently, was the most bril- Mant discourse from a historical point of view that the order has listened to on such an occasion. The order has a membership of 877 in Brooklyn and a cash balance in its treasury of $2,- 714.14. About 500 men, women and children in quaint costumes and re- galias representing Aaron, No. 98; Mount Nebo, No. 72; St. James, No. 60; Star of Bethlehem; Magnolia, No. 80; Navina Household, No. 7; Mount He- bron Temple House, No. 83; St. Paul No. 94, and the John A.

Financial Board Will Meet In Wash- ington to Hear Annual Reports. The financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal! church will hold its annual meeting at the financial headquarters of the denomination on Fourteenth street, Washington, April 21, The money which is sent to the finan- cfal department is known as “dollar money,” the members of the church being taxed a dollar a head annnally. This money is used for educational, church extension and other purposes. The collections during the year will total nearly $175,000, probably the lar- gest in the history of the church. Rev. Dr. John Hurst, the financial secretary, is winding up his first year in office, having succeeded Dr. EB. W. Lampton, who was elevated to the bishopric in May, 1908. Dr. Hurst is a native of Haiti. He came to the United States as an at- tache of the Haitian legation at Wash- ington. Subsequently he entered Wil- berforce university at Wilberforce, O., where he prepared for the ministry. He joined the Baltimore conference and for over ten years was a proml- nent Baltimore pastor. The members of the financial board are: Bishop A. Grant, chairman; Rey.

EO Soa Eee ae PR en ey en RE ke Alias ce oe Mel oat acres Tae e Discussing the peculiarities of the Liberian people, William B. Thatcher, a mining engineer, who spent some years in that country prospecting for minerals, said recently: “The Gree Gree and Devil bushes are secret institutions for the moral, social and religious development of the youths of both sexes. “The head of the Gree Gree bush Js called a zoah and the head of the Devil bush a country devil. The term devil has not the same significance as in our language. The location of these bushes, or lodges, {s in the thickest of the woods. The paths leading to them are labyrinthine. Every precaution is taken to keep the uninitiated away. The weird tales told by the natives themselves and the alr of mystery which is made to surround everything which relates to them are sufficient to guard the curious from approach. “Yet, lest some man should stray accidentally into the entrance, a white cloth is tied on the top of a pole at the head of the path as a danger sig- nal. This is always suffictent warning. “These bushes are the most popular institutions in west Africa among the non-Christian natives. Their purpose in the main fs exalted. The Gree Gree bush is pledged to the preparation of maidens for their life work. It in- structs them in the secrets of woman- ‘hood as well as thé principles of their religion. So impressive are these les- sons that even Christianity itself 1s said to be powerless to remove the {m- pressions in after life. The purity of those trained by them is vouched for. As a safeguard men are strictly for- bidden not only to enter the lodge, but to be found anywhere in the vicinity. Disobedience is a grave offense. The penalty is death, and there is no es- cape. Poison is administered by a rel- ative if necessary to carry out the in- tention of the zoah.” FALLACY OF CASTE SYSTEM. Learned Scholar Tells Why It Will Ultimately Fail. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, at Washington, has the fol- lowing to say in the Atlantic about the fallacy of the Negro caste system in America: “A caste system must be like a pyra- mid, each layer representing a broader area than the one which rests upon it. It is impossible to form a lasting scheme of caste with a superincum- bence of ten white men upon the sub- stratum of one Negro. If the Negroes were everywhere relatively as numer- ous as they are in some parts of the southern states and if the whites were not smothered out by numerical pre- dominance the permanence of caste might be counted on as a calculable factur. The slave system in America was doomed to destruction because the slave element was not sufficiently numerous to support the entire white population. Even in the south there were only 500,000 slaveholders, who controlled 4,000,000 slaves, leaving 6,000,000 free whites practically on the level with Negro bondmen, a con- dition which could exist only until the nonslaveholding class became con. 7 t SclouUs OL tueIr couUiun. Lune Free laborer of the north was the first to awake to consciousness of the fact that he was made the competitor of slave labor, a condition which he re- sented and resisted to the bitter end. The overthrow of slavery was due to economic as well as to moral and philanthropic causes. It is impossible to relegate the Negro to any status without at the same time affecting a sufficient number of white men to make up the full quota of that status. Any degradation placed upon the Ne- gro laborer must react upon white workmen of the same grade. The easte system in America is bound to fail, not so much from humanitarian considerations as because it lacks a sufficient physical basis upon which to rest.” iin are y by a ; ea x ae re sy ed P | pen ; | ae Ee aoe | eo en ee : ro ; pith " ae Pll Pee) t .

A St. Petersburg paper publishes details of a Russian romance in which figures the wealthy and beautiful young Baroness Urusoff, the widow of a distinguished Russian government official. All the young cavaliers of Moscow were hopelessly in love with her. The baroness, however, rejected all at- tempts to obtain an introduction to her and lived in perfect seclusion, at- tended only by an elderly relative. Some months ago a young peasant girl began to visit the residence of the baroness, offering the servants cheap articles for sale. Subsequently the baroness used to buy different ar- Ucles from the peasant, who was in- telligent, had good manners and con- siderable conversational talents. The baroness eventually asked the sirl whether she would enter her serv- fee as a lady’s maid. She agreed and discharged her duties to perfection for a fortnight and then revealed “her- self’ as a young Russian nobleman named Maximoff, who, taking advan- tage of his fair hair and complexion, had masqueraded as a domestic serv- ant to break down the barriers with which the beautiful baroness had sur- rounded herself. The bareness was so much im- pressed by his extraordinary perse- verance that she became engaged to him, and the marriage took place a few days ago. Coming Down Easy. Inquiries after the welfare of Pat- rick Conroy were answered by his devoted friend, Terence Dolan, who was at the Conroy’s in the double ca- pacity of nurse and cook. “No, he's not dangerously hurt at all,” was Mr. Dolan’s reply to a solemnly whis- pere€ question at the door, “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 of teeth and broke his collar- bone. “Mind ye, if he'd have: fell clear to the ground !t might have hurted him bad, but sure there was a big pile of shtones and old lumber that broko his fall "—Vouth'e Comnentan poe Main 8726, ee Licensed Embalmer No. 234.

HILTON, Administrator of the Estate of Hubert Woolman, Deceased: If you want to enjoy yourself come to Dania hall April 27th and hear Harris' orchestra's latest hit for schottisch, "You're in the Right Church, But the Wrong Pew." MANITOU, COLO. Manitou is expecting a very grand season this year, and a great number of tourists. The sick that were reported a week ago are much improved. Mrs. Louis Harper was called to Omaha by a telegram on account of her mother being very ill. Mrs. Ethel Miller of Denver is stopping in Manitou for a while. Mrs. Louise Armstead of Colorado Springs was a guest of Mrs. c.c. Westen and P. A. Hubbard for a few days last week. We are glad to note that Rev. J. P. Howard, who has conducted the revival at Payne's Chapel in Colorado Springs so successful, expects to locate in the Pike's Peak region soon. Mrs. Dora Manley and Mrs. George Louis of Colorado Springs was calling in the resort last week. Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy of Dallas, Texas, are here and stopping with Mrs. Lizzie Bethel on Deer Path avenue. Mrs. Curlen Buxten has been indisposed for a few days. Several of the Manitou people attended church in Colorado Springs last Sunday, it being Easter day, and the service was very interesting. THE SICK MADE WELL WITH MAGNETIC HEALING. Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hopeless Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER. 1447 Gallipago street (So.

J., Manifest—Harmony Among the Members Under Rev. Dr. Trusty's Able Leadership. The Lafayette Presbyterian church, which was organized at Jersey City, N. J., about ten years ago with only three members, has now become one of the leading and most influential churches among Afro-Americans in Jersey City. About two years ago when the church was passing through many strange vicissitudes and financial embarrassments the Rev. Charles H. Trusty, D. D., became its pastor. Be- M. REV. C. H. TRUSTY, D. D. ing a man of intelligence and experience in church work, Dr. Trusty soon found the key to the situation, marshaled his forces and within a short time cleared the church of debt. Rev. Trusty graduated from Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa., as valedictorian of his class in 1889, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. After graduation he was appointed instructor in mathematics at Lincoln, which position he held for three years. Dr. Trusty has labored successfully in many places under the auspices of the Presbyterian board and was three times elected to the general assembly. During the two years of his pastorate at Jersey City the church property has been transferred from the presbytery to the trustees of Lafayette Presbyterian church and is valued at $10,000. The parsonage of the church is valued at $3,000. Although he has accomplished much for the spiritual and material welfare of the members of his church and congregation, Dr. Trusty is not satisfied to stop short of his ideal, which at the present time is a fine church building centrally located and with every other convenience of a modern church building, for which he and the trustees of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD his church are now negotiating with the idea of moving into it some time in April or May. The liberality of the people was never more manifest than it has been under the leadership of Dr. Trusty, and they have succeeded in raising several thousand dollars toward the building fund of the church and carried its running expenses without any manifest embarrassment be- 10 MRS. J. T. BROWN. sides, they have increased the pastor's salary, and all are working harmoniously together for the best interest of their pastor and church. The Ladies' Aid society of the church, which was recently reorganized with Mrs. J. T. Brown as president, is a great source of spiritual and financial help to the church. Mrs. Brown has worked faithfully in this society from its incipiency, having served as secretary for seven consecutive years. She has now been promoted to the presidency. Mrs. Brown is a young woman of many intellectual accomplishments, having graduated from Haines Industrial school at Augusta, Ga. The great editor careruny read the aspiring contributor's joke, then, looking up from the copy, inquired: "Where's the other?" "Other? Why, there isn't any other." "Um! I thought that Noah took two of every kind into the ark."—New York Times. Make Citizenship Secure. "We might as well stop dreaming, open our eyes and look at facts," said the late Grover Cleveland one time. "It is a condition, not a theory, which confronts us." And we add, further, that it is a condition sufficiently serious in all of its aspects and ultimate consequences at the present time to demand the most thoughtful and careful consideration of Negroes everywhere. The danger is not past and will not be until every man having equal rights has his title to citizenship made secure through the agency of a healthy public sentiment crystallized into law and ratified by the people.

Tragedian Comes Forward with Grievance for Which Real Sympathy Will Be Felt. He had long hair and it was black, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. His voice was heavy, so heavy that at times it rumbled. "Have the common people any r-rights?" he asked. "A few," the editor admitted. "And the uncommon people—how about them?" The editor adroitly parried the question. "State your grievance," he said. The stranger assumed an impressive pose. "I am an actor," he announced, "and while I am a very busy man, I find time to read the daily journals. In your sheet this morning, sir, I noted the statement that certain railroads are to adopt electricity as a motive power. In this connection, they will use steel ties instead of wooden ones. These steel ties, I am informed, are apt to carry powerful electric currents. There are times, sir, when, through lack of financial appreciation, actors are forced to use the railroads—but not the cars. I am a tragedian, sir. I have played Hamlet and Lear. Do you think it right for soulless corporations to force a Hamlet or a Lear to dance a frantic mazurka, as it were, from one electric-charged tie to another? Can these corporations do this unjust thing?" "I'd like to see 'em try it," said the editor, as he turned back to his work. WEDDING AN ENTIRE SUCCESS Interruption by Snoot Judson Was Only Discordant Element in Grand Ceremony. "Too bad, Sistah Sagg—suttingly 'twuz!—dat yo' couldn't be at de weddin'," sympathetically said Sister Tuggle, who had been present. "Ah-Lawd!—'twuz one o' de most sonorous events of de present social season, yass'm! De bride, wid her hair all fussed up like it had been done wid an egg-beater, came uh-glidin' up de aisle, exceeded by de rushers and six little girls disarrayed as angels uh-strollin' flowers in de way, uh-whilst de awgin pealed fo'th de 'Weddin' March fum Meddlesome, follored by a whole puhsession o' swell-elegant kin folks uh-smellin' o' puffoomery like an observatory, and two little boys dressed like charry-bims, uh-holdin' up her trail. Pahson Bagster met 'em dar at de cancellation rail, and 'twas all gwine fine twell he done axed: 'Who-all giveth dis yuh woman away?' and dat low-down, triflin' gamblin' man, Snoot Judson, settin' back yander by de do', spoke up, and says: 'Ah-Lawd! I could, but I isn't dat mean!' De rushers done put him out, razzah and all, an' dat was' de end o' him. And den de pahson spoke de solemn words o' de sarrymony, an' most everybody cried, 'twuz so disinfectant." "H'm—yass'm!" returned the lady addressed. "But what about de groom?

Those who cannot may be content to know that this word which begins "lepadotemachoselachogaleo," proceeds in like manner through 78 syllables, and counts 170 letters in all. Of course, no ancient Greek ever used such a word as this in ordinary conversation. It is a comic word invented by Aristophanes for rhythmical delivery in one of his plays and means a dish compounded of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and sauces, which are enumerated in the word. The most ingenious English translation of it yet suggested is— "hash." Couldn't Place Horace. "They say that Horace wrote his poems in praise of wine," the school teacher said to the Billville citizen. "No, no—the other Horace, who comes from antiquity." "Never hearn tell of him, n'er the place he come from; but it's my opinion, whoever he wuz, that he had mighty little to do to be wastin' words on wine, when the country has more corn licker than it kin consume convenient; but, come ter think of it, the less said 'bout corn, new or old, in the north Georgy region, the better. The blamed ol' government is mighty watchful!"—Atlanta Constitution. Poor Fellow. Police Justice—The man you ran down swears positively you were grinning like a flend before the car hit him. Trolley Motorman—I was, your honor! But you will understand when I tell you that I was a chauffeur for three years before I got my present job, and from force of habit I thought I could steer the car to avoid him, after throwing the usual scare into him.—Puck. Not a Lady Killer. "They tell me, Mr. Slathers," simpered the fluffy young thing, "that you are quite a lady killer." "They do me an injustice, upon my word, Miss Giggles," responded the gallant old beau, laying his hand on his heart and making a profound bow, "I catch 'em alive." Cure for Headache. One of the very best remedies for a sick or nervous headache was suggested to me recently by a Finnish servant girl. She took raw potatoes without either washing or paring and cut them into thick slices. These were laid close together on the forehead and temples and kept in place by covering with a large handkerchief folded cornerwise and tied in the back. In a short time the pain disappeared. As the pieces of potato get hot replace with cold fresh ones. They give all the coolness of ice without the incidental dampness, and there is not the burning sensation ice often causes. Unsympathetic. Mrs. Malaprop—Young Sharp will have to apologize before I'll speak to him again. Miss Interest—Did he insult you? Mrs. Malaprop—Did he? The last time I met him I told him that my uncle, Lord de Style, had locomotive attacks, and he had the impudence to ask if he "whistled at crossings." He's an unsympathetic brute. MAN TO BE ENVIED. Writer's idea of Status accorded Bachelor in Society. The bachelor is punished already, not only in losing the joys of a home, but being an object of contumely. So long as bachelors are willing to put up with all the losses they sustain in celibacy far be it from the majesty of the law to impose further penalties. It was Cicero or a man of his day who remarked that it was onerous for a man to get along with a wife, but impossible to get along without one. The bachelor is not a man—only a more or less imitation of one—sometimes a very poor one. He thinks he has a good time in escaping all the major responsibilities of life, but he is deceiving no one but himself. As an example and a warning he has his uses in society. As an individual he is apt to find that he is eating only apples of bodom. The man who deliberately remains a bachelor is already punished enough. Let him alone in his misery until some nice girl comes along and carries him off. And we may remark that no man is a bachelor of his own initiative—no matter how much he may think so. He is simply a human derelict whom the women have examined and passed by. The bachelors are the disjecta membra of society whom no woman will have. That is awful and it is enough.—Philadelphia Inquirer. MUSIC APPEALS TO ESKIMOS. Voices Good and They Sing in Tune, According to Traveler in Regions of the North. Music is one of the chief pleasures and accomplishments of the Eskimos. At the Labrador missions violins are used by them in the church choir, and brass bands are organized. In "Along the Labrador Coast" Dr. Townsend tells of an evening's entertainment with the Eskimos at Nain. "For over an hour these natives sing to us," he says, "familiar music with Eskimo words—'Rock of Ages,' 'Holy Night,' interspersed with what I take to be secular songs. Their voices are harmonious and the singing is of a superior order. We return the compliment in the only way we can with a graphophone. It is indeed a terrible come-down to 'The Old Apple Tree' and 'Everybody Works But Father,' but the Eskimos seem to enjoy it, and greet the songs and their explanation by the interpreter with peals of laughter. "A song in which a man beats his wife seems especially to amuse them. A Moravian brother told me that they had been unable to win the Eskimo from the wife-beating habit. Even the wives resent any interference on this score. "An Irish jig makes them shake with joy, and I am sure they would dance were there room to stir." When the great Chinese mandarin goes sightseeing over the globe he is accompanied by his staff, his servants and his coffin. Li Hung Chang's coffin followed him wherever he went. It was made of the richest wood in China and cost several thousand dollars. In America there are a few people, whom we designate as cranks, who have their coffins ready for the shuffling-off day. Sarah Bernhardt, in Paris, started sleeping in her coffin 20 years ago. New York Press. PAGE. 2 Office Phone Main 5595. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P. E.

The popularity of dancing as a social amusement, and of the Colored American Amusement Company as givers of entertainments, was never better attested than Monday night when East Turner Hall was packed with pleasure seekers at the Easter Floral Ball. This event had been extensively advertised as the best appointed entertainment yet attempted by these young men, and it well deserved the name. The hall was more artistically decorated than at any time. In addition to the colored light effects, and bunting usually employed there were hanging baskets of fruits and flowers, reminding one of the famous hanging gardens of Babylon. The orchestra was placed on the stage, leaving the whole floor for the dancers, and they needed it. They came in ones and twos and droves until 1 o'clock. They were dressed in fashion's latest decrees. Silks and satins, laces and Battenburg were profuse, and Easter hats wore plumage rivaling tropical splendor. It was indeed a floral ball. Until 2:30 a.m. they danced to the tuneful music of the Harris Orchestra, and went home tired but happy. The music for the occasion was special, comprising the latest and best productions of the composers and it was played with the style that makes dancing the poetry of motion. Mrs. Dora Payne was the fortunate lady in winning the gold watch. The Easter ball is a thing of the past, but compared with others, it stands out brilliantly. RHODES HAS CHARGE OF LOS ANGELES STORE.

One of the prettiest weddings that has ever been one's pleasure to see was that of Miss Zenobia T. Bruce and Mr. Raymond Clark, Wednesday evening, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bruce, of Thirty-seventh and Zuni streets. Both because of the family connections and for the sak eof the young people themselves, who are among Denver's best, there was assembled in the spacious parlors of the home a large number of Denver's elite. Promptly at 8 o'clock the ceremony began with Mrs. Lillian Jones singing in superb voice, "O, Promise Me." Miss Mabel Fore, who presided at the piano, then played the wedding march while in bridal party came down the stairs into the front parlor, preceded by little Ruth uBtler, the flower girl, and Naomi Smith, the ring bearer. The other members of the party were the bridesmaid, Miss May Smith of Cheyenne, Ray Clark, the bridegroom's brother, acting as best man, and Mr. Bruce, who gave the bride away. Rev. Over received the bride and bridegroom under a canopy of flowers and wedding bells and with the ring ceremony made them one. The bridesmaid was beautiful in silk batiste and real lace and carried pink American Beauties. The bride won all hearts with her sweet face and appeared every inch a bride in point de sprit with real lace and satin trimmings and carried white American eBauties. After the ceremony the evening resolved itself into a merrymaking with a buffet luncheon served at the close. Such an array of rare and costly presents as are seldom seen were given Mr. and Mrs. Clark, and their future home at 335 Adams street will be graced with silverware, glassware and fine linen that would fit any mansion. Apart from the interest that attaches to the bride as the daughter of one of our best families, she is notable as being one of our college girls, with the additional domestic qualifications that make the ideal wife. The bridegroom is a property owner which is praise indeed for one no further advanced in age. He is a model of industry. All in all, they start out together with every star favoring and with the blessings of a community. There is an added attraction to entertainments in which one's friends appear and so the "Doll Shop," presented at Olympic hall Monday night by Mrs. Dishman for the benefit of the Church of the Redeemer, under the auspices of the Woman's Guild, made a hit. It was a clever sketch of the making of Mrs. Dishman replete with music and chorus drills. The idea partook of the nature of a trip to dreamland or fairy land with the difference that in the production the dolls were live ones. They were real live. The representatives of the Orient and of the Occident were suitably garbed and the attractiveness of dainty misses in Dutch wooden shoes and Chinese silks was every bit as great as when they shine as belles of society. hTe crowd was good and the affair was a success. Before the performance, which was deferred until late, there was dancing. Mr. Richard Hicks has been confined to his house for some time with tonsilitis. Miss Virginia Moore, who will appear at Shorter May 10, is personally known to many Denver people. The young lady of 18 years is a musical prodigy.

This involved the closing of the house until the little one should be well enough to return. After the wife had secured hotel accommodations by the long-distance telephone, the man of the house went to his room and slowly and thoughtfully spread the entire contents of his wardrobe upon his bed, that they might be convenient for his wife to pack. He stood surveying them, deep in meditation, when his wife came into the room and began to speak to him. He raised his hand rebukingly. "Don't talk to me now, Susie, don't talk to me! I have a great deal on my mind. If we are going to the seashore day after to-morrow there are many things to be done, and I must plan." His wife, who had already telephoned the butcher, milkman, baker, grocer, expressman and ticket office, and given the maid a month's vacation and arranged with a relative for the care of the dog, gazed at him in silence. "A great deal on my mind," he repeated. Then the interrogative nature of his wife's silence forced him to explain. "You see," he said, "I have got to put a nail in the cellar window and stop the newspaper."—Youth's Companion. PECULIAR IDEAS OF AUTHORS. Varying Conditions Under Which the World's Great Writers Did Their Best Work. Alexander Pope, who was the literary pontiff of his time, thought best when in bed. Whenever a thought came to him he would jot it down on a scrap of paper. His servant often found bedclothes and floor covered with white bits containing aphorisms which have now become hackneyed quotations. Victor Hugo wrote "Les Miserables" standing up, an attitude which Hawthorne also assumed when he wrote many of his romances One leg thrown over the arm of a chair or sitting on the arm of his secretary's chair were Napoleon's favorite positions while dictating to Bourrienne, a position which he varied now and then by patting that scribe on the head or pulling his ears. Sir Walter Scott could while reclining on a lounge dictate to two amanuenses, who frequently had to stop writing, so funny the dictated passages seemed to them. William Morris made one of his famous translations from the Greek while riding on the steam cars. Walt Whitman and Horace Traubel, original in all things, were most original in the position they took while thinking. They were wont, so Mr. Traubel says, to climb upon a pile of lumber and lie down upon their backs. In that way each found out what the other's best thoughts were. 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 cult any man when accompanied with pink cheeks and bright eyes THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Denver Locals W. A. GATEWOOD—REAL ESTATE, LOANS, INVESTMENTS, INSURANCE.

PAGE. & CARPET SWEEPER TOO NOISY. Dealer Left with Memory of Good Joke to Compensate Him for A hardware dealer in town tells a story about a prim old lady who came into his store the other day to purchase a carpet sweeper. She gazed here and there about the store as she entered, and finally going up to the dealer she looked at him quizzically over her glasses and asked: "Do you keep carpet sweepers?" "Yes, madam," replied the dealer, and naming the two kinds which he had in stock, asked which she desired. "Well," said the lady, "you may show me both kinds, if you will." "Just a moment, madam, until I get them from the rear of the store." And with that he went to an obscure corner and took down the carpet-sweepers from their hooks upon the wall. It happened that in front of one of the makes which he desired there was a lawn mower so hung that he had to move it. He took it down from the hook and as he did so it rolled along the floor with a grinding rattle. Before he had time to turn around he heard the old lady shout from the front of the store: "That makes more noise than my old one, and I don't care to look at it," and so saying, she whisked out to the door, leaving the dealer to wonder whether the joke was worth the loss of the sale.—Portland Express. MERE INCIDENT IN FOOTBALL Broken Collar Bone, Supposed to Be Enemy's, Considered a Detail of the Game. There had been a hotly contested football game between the Steam Rollers of the Benjamin Franklin school and the Avalanches of the George Washington school. After the game was over and the contestants had returned to their various homes one of the heroes of the winning team complained of a feeling of soreness in the lower part of his neck. "I didn't feel it until just now," he said; "but it hurts like sixty!" His father examined it. It began to swell, and was very sore to the touch. "I believe your collar bone is broken, my boy," said his father. A surgeon was hastily summoned, and made an examination. "Yes," he said, "the bone is fractured. How did it happen, Walter? Do you remember anything about it?" "Why, yes," answered the boy. "I remember that when I tackled Skinny Morgan I fell on top of him, and I heard something crack, but I thought it was his collar bone."—Youth's Companion. Not One of His Studies. Miss Blank's second grade was notorious throughout the school for a lamentable lack of discipline. It was in this grade that printed reports were first issued to the children. One day Tom came home, proudly bearing the first formal record of his progress in scholastic lines. His mother, having been a teacher, was pleased to note that her offspring's ratings were of high order, but his lawyer father, having scanned the slip minutely, said gravely: "I don't see any record of deportment here.

Sir Charles Wyndham (speaking at a dinner) told of a young man he once heard of who was paying attention to a lady to the great disgust of her father, who remonstrated very kindly with him. The father said: "If I see you in this house again I shall kick you out." The young man came back the very next day. "I told you what would happen," said the father, and it did happen. The young man did not appear for about five weeks, and then one day the father saw him coming toward the house, and immediately went and opened the front door. "Haven't you had enough?" said the old man. "Have you come again to see my daughter?" "No, no," replied the other, "I have come on behalf of the president of our football club." Following Illustrious Example. An art student in Berlin wrote recently to a brewing concern in Bohemia, offering to paint for the brewers "pictures suitable for advertising purposes—artistic, appropriate, attractive and cheap." He goes on to say: "Sir John Millais was not above taking 40,000 marks from a soapmaker for one of his paintings, to be used as an advertisement. Nor did he hesitate to offer other pictures for the same purpose at the same price. Why should not I, who owe my tailor, and who fear to look my landlady in the face, not do the same? Stay! I shall do better. Am willing to take less than 40,000 marks for my best work." MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. ```markdown ``` The Last Straw. "Say, paw," queried small Tommy Toddles, "why do they always put in a scythe when they make a picture of Father Time?" "It is intended to represent the shortness of life, my son," answered Toddles, Sr. "Time cuts people down, you know." "But, paw," continued Tommy, "when Time shall be no mower, he'll drop his scythe, won't he?" "Speaking of time, young man," said the father, "you go up and tell your mother it's time to put you to bed." 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is 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). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE. Getting Into Practice. It is often pleasanter to theorize than to perform. A young law student, says a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer, was making a study of certain processes of his future profession. He showed an inclination to sit in the house and speculate idly, instead of doing some of the domestic tasks which stood waiting. "Deduction is an interesting process," declared the youth to his father. "For example, there is a heap of ashes in the yard. That is evidence that the family has recently had fires." "Well, John," interrupted his father, "suppose you pursue your studies a little farther by going out and sifting that pile of ashes."—Youth's Companion. Improvement on Phonograph.

Bethel Sets High Standard Famous Literary and Historical Society Founded at Washington by Bishop Payne-Judges Men of Letters. Miss Madre the First Woman President. He who wins favorable criticism from Bethel Literary and Historical society at Washington is well recommended to an American audience, for it is true that this venerable literary society sits in judgment upon the men and women who aspire to greatness in pulpit or on platform, in science and in art. Founded in 1881 by Bishop Payne, that eminent divine of small stature, who was called a "bundle of brains," the Bethel Literary and Historical association has had a most brilliant record during its twenty-eight years of existence. The greatest Negro orators of the United States and of some foreign countries have graced her platform. Negroes of fame in music, art and the higher walks of life have all appeared before this venerable society. Douglass and Washington, whose names are household words, both spoke here. Kelly Miller, the great A. MISS MABIE A. D. MADRE mathematician, was once its president. Young men who have won fame in Yale and Harvard, like Bruce of Washington and Pickens of Alabama; those who have studied abroad, like Du Bois and Moore, and a long list of distinguished men have given some production of thought to the world through this celebrated Washington society. Its present enviable reputation is due, in most part, to Miss Marie A. D. Madre, the first lady who has ever been elected as its president. Miss Madre is a master of laws from Howard University Law school, having taken both the regular law course and the postgraduate course. She is a graduate of the Washington high and normal schools. principal of one of the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. city schools at Washington and a lecturer of pleasing address and much popularity. Her administration has been one noted for the many distinguished speakers and celebrated men and women who have been secured for Bethel during her presidency. Miss Madre is a graceful presiding officer and is well acquainted with many great public men and women, who hold her in high esteem. Bethel Literary is very close to her heart, and she strives to make it a forum for the public. Freedom of speech is the great shibboleth of Miss Madre. The Same Gospel For Both. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs in a recent discussion of industrial education for the Negro said: "It has never been shown that the Negro's mental power must be cast in an industrial mold in order to fully respond to the biddings of his mind and the pleadings of his heart, nor have we evidence to show that the Negro makes a better citizen and a better man with an industrial education than with any other kind, nor has the Negro any evidence that an industrial education will secure for him an even break in the race of life. Is the Negro to spend years fitting himself as a laborer of skill and then be forced to work for unskilled prices or starve? If industrial education will save the ignorant Negro, the same gospel will save the ignorant white man, and you have only to look around to see that one is as bad off as the other, and it is for the salvation of all its citizens at which the United States must aim. COLORED REPUBLICANS. Kings County League Active—Carry Claims Beyond Ballet Box. Members' night at the Carlton avenue branch, Y. M. C. A., at Brooklyn, under the auspices of the Colored Republican League of Kings County, held recently, was well attended. The league presented as the principal feature a question of public interest which is before the legislature of the state of New York. The subject was, "Resolved, That the proposed legislation now pending before the legislature of the state of New York permitting labor and open stores on Sunday by certain classes of citizens is a violation of the principles of our Christian Sabbath and will tend to destroy Christian traditions and beliefs, upon which the American government is founded." The discussion was opened by John H. Smith, president of the league. He gave a clear and full exposition of the Jewish Sabbath and Christian Sunday and related the steps the league has taken to influence the representatives in the assembly from Kings county upon the bill pending. The presiding officer, W. H. Daveuport, called upon W. R. Lawton, N. B. Dodson, R. P. Hamlin and Norman D. Johnson to discuss the question, which they debated with much spirit and interest. During this discussion other proposed legislation which would be detrimental to the community was also considered. The colored men were urged to carry their suffrage beyond the ballot box, even to the halls of legislation, and keep their wishes and desires before their representatives during their entire term of office. quette which has existed for a number of years at the court of Slam no person is permitted to sleep in an apartment situated above that occupied by the king.

On April 6 Bishop Abraham Grant returned from Florida to his Episcopal residence in Kansas City, Kansas, after spending three months away for the benefit of his health. He is much improved. While away he visited a number of conferences and was in attendance upon the Bishops' Council. One important work done by the council was the reorganization of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder. It has been taken over by an incorporated company in which they and the clergymen and laity of the church are stockholders. It has been placed in the hands of Rev. Wright, minister and journalist, and is once more its old self. The reports of its bankruptcy are ill-founded, therefore. iBshop Grant leaves soon for Washington, where he will attend the meeting of the financial board of the church. ORIGIN OF FOOLSCAP PAPER. Emblem First Made Use Of by Cromwell to Show His Contempt for All Things Royal. Everyone who has handled paper recognizes foolscap as a sheet 13 by 16 inches. This is used as a standard size all the world over, officially and commercially. It will therefore be interesting to know where and how this word originated. After the execution of Charles I. Cromwell and his staff, in organizing the commonwealth, made all possible effort to remove everything which had anything to do with the old monarchy. The paper in official use up to the time had as a watermark the king's crown; and, when Cromwell was asked what should be put in the place of the crown, to show his overwhelming dislike for anything concerning royalty, he directed a fool's cap to be put in place of the crown. This was done, and when Charles II. ascended the throne of England, it was at first forgotten to replace the cap by something else, and then, too late, the king was afraid to do anything to recall things dangerous to touch, and so it was neglected and the fool's cap may be seen as a water-mark on nearly all British official papers.

"If I have anything to do that I particularly dislike, I start to work on it the first thing after breakfast, subordinating all routine work to that task," said a successful housekeeper recently. "One can expend enough nervous energy thinking about and worrying over an unpleasant duty to accomplish it. When it is finished and off one's mind early in the day, one gets ahead of one's self, so to speak." Sought Fatal Inspiration. Vladimir Nesteroff, a Moscow man, who had resolved to write a play after the style of "Hamlet," took a dose of Indian hemp, and invited three companions to write down the words of wisdom which he expected would fall from his lips while he was under the influence of the drug. As his words were no wiser after 20 minutes he took a larger dose, with the result that he became unconscious and died. Hot Water Cure for Insomnia. To insure the benefit of the hot water, it must be taken off the fire the moment it boils—not just before or after—and poured at once into a cup or glass. Then it should be taken while very hot. A little practice will enable one to swallow it at little less than the boiling point, and in addition to the proper temperature, the proper time must be observed. It is most efficacious in curing indigestion and improving the general tone of the system if taken immediately on waking in the morning, again an hour before lunch and an hour before dinner also, and to drink two glassfuls on retiring will almost positively insure sound sleep. It may require two or three days' trial before the desired result is effected, but once gained it can be held without interruption by faithfully pursuing this method. Reared in the strict school of "Yes, sir!" and "No, ma'am!" addressed without thought of servility to all elders and betters, I find this a season of rare courtesy and scant civility. Well do I remember that awesome scene at my father's table when a stout and rebellious little sister, seething with disappointment over some denied dainty, answered "No!" to a well meant proffer of a less desirable dish. "No, dog? or No, cat?" my father inquired with ominous calm. "No, dog!" the sturdy lass recklessly replied. I quake even now at the thought of the breathless pause which followed, and draw a veil over the painful aftermath.—Appleton's.
