INCONSISTENT RELIGION MAKES US SAVE OURSELVES "WHO ARE ELIGIBLE? Any white man or boy of good moral character—old or young. The Y. M. C. A. is an institution founded and maintained for your benefit. What it has done to qualify other men for lucrative positions of trust and responsibility it stands ready to do for you."—William H. Cook, Educational Director of the Y. M. C.

What it has done to tions of trust and responsibility it H. Cook, Educational Director of the nue and Lincoln street. The Pharisee has been held up to scorn by Christian people for two thousand years. The Savior Himself led off in a terrible denunciation of the I-am-holier-than-thou kind of Christians and climbed the matter by directing His disciples to go into all the world to preach His gospel. And so it is that while we have believed that we would be unwelcome as members of the white Young Men's Christian Association of this city, we did not expect the Association to discredit its own professed Christian character. In the days before the war, men claiming to represent God and preach the gospel, used to tell the slaves that if they would obey their masters and be good servants, "There will be a kitchen in Heaven for you." The inconsistency of slave holding and Christianity is seit-evident. What then shall be said of a Christian association that is "for men—not for money," and limits its good work to "white" men and boys? Whatever arguments may be advanced by white people for the separation of the two races, we are sure that no claim will be made that Christ taught any such thing. The parable of the Good Samaritan in which He showed that good fellowship embraced all men and that the Mosaic law in this respect was the way of life, permits of no such twisting. We confess our inability to understand the workings of the Caucasian's mind on things religious. For ability to get what he wants, he is IT. With him it seems that all means are justifiable if the end is achieved. Failure is the only unforgivable sin. But in the case of the Y. M. C. A. and its limitation of membership to white persons, we believe that we have found the limit of Pharasaical Christianity.

LET US BE WARNED AND AROUSE OURSELVES IN TIME. The formation of a Y. M. C. A. requires money. The executive committee of the temporary organization has appointed a rally committee consisting of C. A. Franklin, chairman; Rev. D. E. Over, Rev. A. M. Ward, Rev. J. B. Beckman, Rev. A. E. Reynolds, Rev. W. C. Williams, Rev. J. N. Wallace, Rev. A. C. Murphy, J. W. Jackson, J. J. Bates, Ed Johnson, J.

When you read this article and feel like expressing yourself on the hypocrisy of the white Y. M. C. A. put your anger into dollars for the rally! This is the time for work, not indignation meetings. John M. Williams, formerly of this city and recently of Buxton, Iowa, who left here to take a position there as assistant postmaster, died Sunday of pneumonia. Further particulars of his death are not known. He was a former member of one of our lodges, but at this time has no connection with our city further than the friendships of many years standing. He was a man of brilliant mind and is chiefly notable for having been the only representative from Colorado to the Republican National Convention in St. Louis in 1896. At that time the state delegation walked out of the convention because of the failure of the Republican party to declare for free silver. This walk-out left Mr. Williams the only Coloradoan in the convention The Free Will Circle of Bethlenem Baptist church will hold a granu dollar rally at the church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

True, we are happier to do for ourselves; certainly we would feel ill at ease in their organization, but it is an insult to our common religion to call "Christian" a work so circumscribed about with caste. But what's the use denouncing conditions that our feeble efforts will not change? We can only set about trying to overcome the handicap which these "Christian" people seek to put upon us. WE CAN HAVE A YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF OUR OWN. WE CAN GIVE TRAINING TO THE MINDS AND HANDS OF OUR YOUNG MEN. WE CAN HAVE OUR OWN MEN WHO KNOW TEACH US. WE CAN TAKE THE ONE TALENT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US AND MAKE YET ANOTHER TALENT. The movement has already started to organize and give permanent footing to a Young Men's Christian Association. It has the endorsement and active support of the entire clergy of the city and has already enrolled a large number of the young men of the city. From this small beginning is to grow the association that will be to us what the white association is to white men. Under the lash of relative industrial inefficiency, we must go forward or perish.

FIVE CENTS A COPY TREND OF NEGRO MIGRATION. Seriously Affects Economic Condition of the Race. Says Charles E. Hall. An analysis of the last United States census, says Charles E. Hall of Washington, reveals some very interesting information regarding the migration of Negroes from the country districts to the cities, and particularly the migration of southern Negroes from the agricultural districts to the cities of the northern and border states. Mr. Hall makes the statement that the percentage of Negroes living in the country districts throughout the United States decreased from 87.1 per cent in 1880 to 73.3 per cent in 1900, while the Negro population of the cities shows an increase from 12.9 per cent in 1880 to 22.7 per cent in 1900. The states showing the largest percentage of increase in the Negro population of cities are Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, New Jersey, Kansas, New York Pennsylvania, in the order named. The migration to the cities of the northern and border states is greatly in excess of that to the cities of the southern states, the average percentage of increase being 22.6 per cent for the cities of the group of states above named as compared with the small average increase of 7.9 per cent for the group of southern states consisting of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Mr. Hall further points out the fact that this general movement from the country districts of the south to the more highly organized industrial centers of the north is seriously affecting the economic conditions of the race which, taken as a whole, has not yet sufficiently developed industrially to compete or stand on an equal footing with the whites in the higher vocations requiring special knowledge, skill and organized power. AID FOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Prominent Educators Speak at Philadelphia—Mrs. Clark's Generous Gift. At a meeting which was recently held at Philadelphia in the interest of the Berean Industrial school Mayor Reyburn said: "I am not one of those who despise the Negro. As chief magistrate of the city of Philadelphia I stand here tonight without the slightest thought that any great wrong will be committed by these people. They are not hard to control, and there is no part of the city population which needs as little police protection as that of the colored people." Ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, who was also one of the speakers, said: "For forty-six years, since its emancipation, the colored race has been on C. W. Anderson's Fine Record. Internal Revenue Collector at New York One of Most Capable Men In the Public Service-Selected Orator For League Exposition. Among the score or more of young men of the race who have come up from the bottom to high prominence in their respective communities, in the state and in the nation Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York, occupies a place in the front rank. Mr. Anderson's first public position was that of secretary in 1894 to the Hon. A. B. Colvin of the treasury department at Washington. On his retirement from that position he was made commissioner of racing for New York state. Leaving that position in 1905 to accept the call of President Roosevelt to the revenue service, Mr. Anderson has grown in power and in influence. As honorary president of CANADA HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. the Young Men's Colored Republican club of New York he has been instrumental in the promotion and appointment of more than a hundred Negroes to responsible salaried public postions. During the past year, 1908, his services to his race and to his party have been notable. As the friend of exPresident Roosevelt and the political spokesman of his race in administration quarters it was around him that the storm of opposition from the Negro race to President Taft broke. All through the campaign both before and after-the nominating convention his counsel was sought. President Taft is a great admirer of the collector and in appreciation of his personal regard has sent him a life size photograph of himself bearing the following inscription: "For My Friend Hon. Charles W. Anderson, With Best Wishes and Sincere Regards. W. H. Taft." Mr. Anderson has had the picture framed and hung over his desk in his office in the custom house alongside of one from former President Roosevelt bearing an almost similar inscription. Mr. Anderson is confessedly one of the most capable, popular and best liked colored men in the public service and is personally known to more influential business men and politicians perhaps than any other Negro in public life. Mr. Anderson will deliver the ad- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. dress opening the industrial exposition which will be held under the auspices of the New Rochelle Co-operative Business league at New Rochelle, N.

Jack Johnson has put a quietus on the fight talk by making a match with Ketchel, who will probably "ketch it" when he goes into the ring with the gentleman from Texas. In an interview with Johnson just after his fight with Burns, which was reported in the Standard at Port Melbourne, Australia, he made some highly significant remarks regarding his ancestry. He said: "My remote ancestors were Africans. My more immediate ancestors were slaves to the white man. And while my people—the descendants of my ancestors in Africa—are increasing in numbers, the white man is decreasing all over the earth. Read the figures—those of your own country, of the United States, of England, of France, of all the white world. How is the birth rate? Read the reports of the increase of the colored peoples of India, Japan and China. Read of the increase of the people of my own race in their country. Do you think it is to go on forever, this domination of the millions of the people of color by a handful of white folks simply because they are white folks? I think it is not. It may not come in my time or in yours, but the time will come when the black and yellow man will hold the earth, and the white man will be regarded just as the colored man is now." For South American Education. The Rev. Dr. Alpheus P. Luckie, who came to the United States recently from Georgetown, Demerara, South America, to solicit funds with which to build an industrial school for the natives at Georgetown, is meeting with encouraging success. His addresses, lectures and sermons are thoughtful, and he always holds the interest of his audience. He is also hopeful and enthusiastic about his work and expects to return from his tour in the United States to his home fully prepared in experience and with sufficient means to complete the necessary buildings for his school. Alleged Overeducation. A dispatch from St. Louis the other day states that one Louis O. Graves, said to be a graduate of Yale, was hailed into court in that city on a criminal charge and was his own attorney. The versatile Mr. Graves is reported to have put himself through a critical cross examination. Asked as to the cause of criminal tendencies in Negroes, he answered glibly that they were due to overeducation. If Yale and other great colleges and universities are mere breeding places for criminals the sooner they are closed up the better. We have tried to get a line on Mr. Graves through friends in St. Louis, but he seems not to have been heard of in that city. We are inclined to believe that the dispatch was manufactured or that Graves, if he really exists, has been misquoted. No sane or sober Negro would make any such statement expecting any one to believe it. Negro Finance at Jackson, Miss. The colored people have on deposit in the savings banks at Jackson, Miss. $200,000, one-third of which is credited to two Negro banks. The aggregate wealth of seven prosperous men of the race in the state of Mississippi is also placed at $200,000. Slave Who Rose To Prominence. Achievements of the Late Professor William H. Council, Noted Negro Educator, Warm Friend of Africa, Author and Public Speaker. Professor William Hooper Councill, who died recently at Normal, Ala., was the faithful and honored president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college for Afro-Americans at Normal for nearly thirty-four years. As an educator and lover of his race Professor Councill ranked with such men as Booker T. Washington, J. R. L. Diggs, W. T. Amiger, E. W. B. Curry, W. T. Vernon, R. S. Lovinggood and other great men of the race who have won fame at home and abroad upon their merits. As a thinker Professor Councill was very deep. He was independent—yea, stubborn, never yielding a point in debate until he was thoroughly convinced that it was right. He contributed largely to many magazines and periodicals. The leading southern papers quoted from his public utterances freely. W. H. Councill was born in Fayetteville, N. C., in 1848, and was carried to Alabama by the traders in 1857, through the famous Richmond slave pen. In Alabama he worked in the fields with the other slaves. He was a self made man, having had only few school advantages. He attended one of the first schools opened by kind northern friends at Stevenson, Ala., in 1865. He remained there about three years. This was the basis of his education. He had been a close and earnest student ever since, often spending much of the night in study. He accumulated quite an excellent library, and the best books of the best masters were his constant companions, as well as a large supply of the best current literature. By private instructions and almost incessant study he gained a fair knowledge of some of the languages, higher mathematics and the sciences. He was enrolling clerk of the Alabama house [Image of a man in a suit and bow tie]. THE LATE PROFESSOR W. H. COUNCILL. PAGE. 10. of representatives in 1872-4. He was appointed by President Grant receiver of the land office for the northern district of Alabama in 1875. He was founder and editor of the Huntsville Herald from 1877 to 1884. He also founded the great educational institution, Normal, of which he was president. He read law and was admitted to the supreme court of Alabama in 1883. But he never left the profession of teaching, although flattering political positions were held out to him. He had occupied high positions in church and other religious, temperance and charitable organizations and was a public speaker of no mean standing. Professor Councill had traveled quite extensively in Europe and was warmly received and entertained on one occasion by the Hon. W. E. Gladstone and his majesty King Leopold of Belgium. And thus by earnest toll, self denial, hard study, he made himself, built up one of the largest institutions in the south and educated scores of young people at his own expense. Professor Councill was proud to be known as a friend to Africa. He cooperated with Bishop Turner in the redemption and civilization of that continent. Normal, under Professor Councill, educated native Africans for this purpose. He received the degree of Ph. D. from Morris Brown college, at Atlanta, Ga. He was the author of "The Lamp of Wisdom." New Church Dedicated. The Rev. M. O. Haynes recently dedicated his new church at New Rochelle, N. Y., with interesting ceremonies. The new edifice is one of the finest places of worship in the town. A large number of visiting clergymen and representatives of fraternal societies were present. The board of directors of the New Rochelle Co-operative Business league attended in a body. SMALLS' WITTY RETORT. Hero of the Planter More Than Match For Fellow Congressman. General Robert Smalls, who captured the steamer Planter from the Confederates during the war of the rebellion without notifying them of his intention, was some years afterward elected to congress from the Seventh (S. C.) district and was in his way quite a lion among northern members of congress who personally knew of the incident or had read of it. A certain member of the house who was serving his first term and felt the weight of his honors passed Smalls on the floor one day while he stood conversing with a group of members swapping jokes and saluted him thus: "Hello, Bob!" Smalls took not the slightest notice of him, but kept on talking. When the house convened the fresh member went over to Smalls' seat and reminded him that he had spoken to him a short time previous, but that he (Smalls) had not deigned to notice him. "Is that so?" replied Smalls. "That reminds me of a story of a fellow down in Beaufort who had been hard up for many months and who one day received a letter from a friend whom he had importuned which contained a five dollar note. In alluding to his streak of good luck he always spoke of the five dollar note as a 'William.' 'Why do you call it a William?' asked one of his friends. 'Well,' said he, 'I haven't been acquainted with it long enough to call it Bill.'" The fresh congressman saw the point and made a strenuous effort to catch the speaker's eye. PAGE.12 Why Louis Didn't Come. The attention of the principal of one of the New York schools was called to the fact that a certain pupil in one of the lower grades was keeping back the entire class by his frequent absences and more than frequent tardiness. The teacher had tried in vain to solve the problem before appealing to the principal. The latter sent for the mother of the child and talked with her earnestly about the matter. For a time matters went better, and then little Louis failed to appear one morning. Two days passed and no word was received from his parents. On the third the principal received this astonishing communication: "Deer Teecher, exsuce Louie been abcent and tardy, he is ded. "Mrs. B." A Tunnel for the Statesmen. For the convenience of statesmen a tunnel has been constructed from the capitol to the new office building just completed for the members of the house. The house members find the tunnel very convenient in keeping out of the wet and also in dodging constituents and newspaper men at the rare intervals when they wish to avoid meeting the latter. A statesman can disappear into the capitol building and emerge ten minutes later from the house office building three blocks away. The tunnel is all nicely illuminated with electric lights, but a walk of three blocks is pretty strenuous for some of the statesmen, and they are said to be figuring on putting a trolley system in the tunnel. Marvels of the Telegraph. Karachi, in northwestern India, is now within a minute of London by telegraph. The Indo-European Telegraph Company has recently introduced a system of relays along its line, so that the electric current which starts from London can be propelled the full distance of more than five thousand miles to Karachi. Hitherto it has been necessary to have operators at several points to take the message and repeat it. The relays, which substitute a strong current for a weak one, have displaced the operators and quickened the time in which messages can be transmitted. The system is not a novel one, and has long been in use in this country, but the Anglo-Indian line is longest upon which it has been established. The Freedom of the Mind. It is of consequence that the notion of freedom be within us. It does make a difference. How many pass through life oppressed by the idea that we are slaves, dominated by environment and influences that are fixed, and are no different from the inanimate things about us. It makes a difference if we believe ourselves not slaves to circumstances, not with characters inevitably fixed, and can look into the possibilities of the future and draw strength from them. We may then be masters of life's field—Prof. George H. Palmer. Handkerchief Boys. On cold and windy days the boys who sell the handkerchiefs do a thriving business on the Bowery, says the New York Times. They stand on the corners in the same way that the flower boys do on Twenty-third street, silently holding about four dozen handkerchiefs, which they sell at a cent apiece. It is very cheap for handker- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. chiers on the Bowery, even where everything is cheap, and so men, women and often children walk up to them as they go by, pick out a handkerchief, deposit a cent in his small brown palm, and go on their way. The Modern Girl. The modern girl has chances almost, if not quite, equal to her brothers of developing mental and physical energy, moral strength, and individuality. Let her take care to seize them, that she may the sooner receive her apotheosis as the mother of the superman, and when in a green old age she looks back upon the steppingstones which led her to higher things, fights all her battles o'er again and counts her trophies, I believe that her foil will not hold the least honored place among them.—The Ladies' Field. American Wives of Foreign Noblemen. Altogether there are 26 American princesses, six American duchesses, 72 American baronesses, 36 American countesses, 14 American marquises, 18 American viscountesses, 82 American wives of baronets and more than two hundred American wives of knights, chevaliers and other small fry of the European aristocracy. This makes nearly five hundred American wives of foreign noblemen. Of the 500 more than two hundred have been divorced from their husbands or live apart. She Raised Forty Children. "Aunty Jane" McCrary, the mother of a well-known colored porter of the Mountain View hotel, Gus McCrary, died a few days ago, having lived more years than she could exactly remember. She was kept out of the grave for four days after death that the church and lodge ceremonies might be observed over her remains. In a home-made buggy, with a lean, gray "jenny" attached to the crude vehicle, she was a familiar figure on the streets here when she came to town with produce. She raised more than forty children—about a dozen of her own, and, strange for a woman of her race, more than two dozen adopted colored children.—Gainesville The Bread and Pipe Baker. The lecturer at the cooking school sometimes enlivened her remarks with an anecdote. "The eighteenth century baker," she said, "was a pipe-cleaner as well, just as the barber a little earlier was a surgeon. "Everybody in those days smoked clay pipes, provided, the same as cups or spoons, by the coffee houses. Well, each morning a waiter carried his master's stock of pipes—some hundred perhaps—to the nearest bakery. The baker would boil them out, then dip them in liquid lime, then bake them dry. They came out of the oven as sweet and white as new." Senator Presides at Town Meeting. Senator Presides at Town Meeting. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts found time from his duties at Washington to run up to Nahant last week and preside as moderator at the annual town meeting. "It is to be hoped," says the Springfield Republican, "that he will keep up the custom as long as he lives, even if he has to make special trips from Washington. The influence of his example cannot fail to be most excellent, since the spectacle of so distinguished a statesman, whose range is national and world-wide, displaying a local patriotism of this sort must help to maintain the essential dignity of our local institutions." The axiom concerning great men's sons does not hold good in the case of Darwin. Four surviving sons of his are men of eminence. Sir George Howard Darwin, K. C. B., L. D., D. Sc., is Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge, and has made valuable discoveries in meteorological science. Mr. Francis Darwin, who is a doctor of medicine and a distinguished botanist, has been foreign secretary of the Royal society since 1903; he was his father's assistant at Down, and after the latter's death wrote a life of him and edited his letters. Maj. Leonard Darwin was on the staff intelligence department of the war office; he served on several scientific expeditions, and after retiring from the royal engineers sat as M. P. for Lichfield. He has written books on "Bimetallism" and on "Municipal Trade." Mr. Horace Darwin is chairman of the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company, and an ex-mayor of Cambridge. Could Not Save Comrades. Particulars of a prolonged but unavailing attempt to save the lives of two clay miners were given recently at an inquest held at Norden, Dorsetshire, England, on the bodies of two men named Bennett and Burdin. The men had gone down the shaft of a worked-out mine in order to remove the timbers before filling in the shaft. A fall of running sand occurred while they were at work, whereupon they rushed to the cage and shouted to the men at the mouth of the shaft to pull them up, but it was too late, and they were buried alive. Their comrades worked nearly two days and nights in the endeavor to rescue them, expecting every minute they would themselves be overwhelmed by further falls. Art and Rubbernecks. "The next thing I've got to tackle is art," said the lecturer on a sightseeing automobile. "I've got to get right down to the very roots of it. I thought that when I got so I could call Washington and Lafayette and all the rest of those statuary chaps by name and could tell who lives in the swellest houses I knew enough about sculpture and architecture to last a lifetime. But that doesn't satisfy the curious rubbernecks. They've got to the point now where they insist upon knowing who made the statue and designed the house, and now I've got to read up on sculptors and architects, so I can sing off a list of their names when called upon." Mexico to Preserve Historic Relics. The Mexican government has taken active steps to prevent further despoliation of her priceless archaeological treasures by relic hunting Americans and others. Orders have been issued to all border customs officials not to allow such articles to leave the country. Small packages are to be returned to the museum in Mexico City, and large ones will be held and descriptions sent there for further action. Wants Other Queens to Help. Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, who is fighting the corset, has asked some of the royal women of Europe to help, among those importuned being the empress of Germany, Queen Alexandra, Queen Helena of Italy and Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. Queen Elizabeth of Roumania has issued a manifesto to the women and girls of Europe showing them how much they may be harmed by wearing the corset. PUEBLO, COLO. Mr. F. DeFranty, brother of Dr. De Franty, is in the city for the summer. Mr. Crossweight left recently for Denver. Pueblo now affords a dancing school. Rev. Payne reports a progressive condition in his church. Lawyer Townsend is making for himself an honorable name among Mr. Theodore Marshall left the city for a short trip. Rev. Hardy, who was called from Boise to the Bethlehem Baptist church to preach Mr. C. Mosby's funeral, returned to his charge. Mrs. J. S. Payne and Mrs. Barefield directed a clever musical entertainment at St. Johns church, which was highly appreciated. Mrs. J. Murell entertained in her elaborate and gracious manner Friday evening. She is a charming hostess. Mr. Geo. Moore was appointed janitor at the city hall and Mr. W. W. Hood was made policeman under the new administration, and they say there is still more in store for the colored people. Miss Marchbanks, niece of Mr. and Mrs. H. Marchbanks, is chosen as St. Paul's Sunday school delegate. She is a very popular, charming and beautiful young lady and also talented and highly intellectual. No better choice could have been made. After three weeks' suspension on account of recess of meetings the Ciceronian Literary society resumed its regular Tuesday evening meetings. It is very progressive and interesting and is well attended. They have a good program and pleasant times. R. L. Buttle, president; G. Marchbanks, secretary. St. Paul's new parsonage is completed and Rev. and Mrs. Bell will occupy it very soon. It is a very attractive modern brick structure which does credit to the church community, and especially Rev. Bell, since he himself planned it. Too much credit cannot be given Rev. and Mrs. Bell for their work in the church. Mrs. Bell has gotten up, with the aid of Mr. Marshall, what is now the best choir in Pueblo, and they look charming in their robes and caps and sing as well. GREAT FALLS, MONT. The A. M.

While there is an epidemic raging in our city, the Lord has blessed the colored people, for not one has fallen victim to the grim monster, Death We have just closed our spring rally, April 11.

These are the ones making things go in the Sunday School department: both races for his excellent work. J. D. Rice, superintendent; G. G. Ross, teacher of the Senior class; J. D. Rice, teacher of the Boys' class; Mrs. Dora E. Wallace, teacher of the Infant class; Bible class, pastor. Visitors are made to feel welcome. Mrs. Mary Evans and Mrs. T. S. Clinkscale entertained the Ladies' Aid with light refreshments last Thursday afternoon. The Aid decided to give a monthly entertainment in the church. The parsonage committee, headed by Mrs. Annie Bobo, put in a beautiful cooking range last week. There will be no more worry about the bread not browning. With well-cooked meals the pastor should fatten up a little. Mrs. Anna Cox is confined to her bed, suffering with a severe and painful attack of the tonsolitis. With good treatment and care she will be out again in the near future. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. E. Burrell, formerly of the Baptist church has decided to cast her lot with her husband. She was taken into full membership last Sunday morning. Master Thomas W. Wallace is quite a favorite among the members and is the recipient of many little tokens of affections, which he saves for the weekly collections. Old Sol was arrayed in all his glory last Sunday morning and the members and friends came in droves. The pastor preached from Isa. 40:31, "Waiting Upon God." The message had its effect in greatly reviving the Christians. One lady, formerly of the Baptist church, joined. The Epworth League held an enthusiastic meeting at night. The topic for this occasion was "The Spiritual Birth," John 3:1-13. This subject was discussed by Mr.-F. D. McPherson, followed by several members and visitors. The night services were well attended. Several visitors were in the audience. The pastor preached from Rev. 3:21, "Overcoming." The Tackey Party was an entire success. A neat sum was realized which will be utilized in paying for the beautiful furnishings in the parsonage. Mr. Willis Evans won the first prize and Mrs. Cole the second prize for being the tackiest dressed persons. The parsonage committee is elated over its success. Mr. Clarence Collier is on the sick list. We wish him a speedy recovery. The Ladies' Aid Society will serve refreshments in the church once a month. This will enable those who cannot meet the weekly afternoon meetings to come and enjoy a social hour with their friends and acquaintances. The subject of the discourse next Sunday morning will be "The Great Fire Kindled," Luke 12:49. Come out and hear the great text preached. GUNNISON, COLO., NEWS.

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.

PAGE.16 The fearful grip which this number 13 supersitition continues to have upon the hearts of men and women in all walks of life is incomprehensible, says O. S. Marden, in Success Magazine. Yet every intelligent person knows that nothing in this world can possibly take place without a cause, and that the cause must be sufficient to produce an effect. The most ignorant person, it would seem, should know that the arbitrary number, 13, has no more power to produce any effect, to cause any calamity, than a drop of ink. The fact that the ink or paint, instead of being in the shape of a round drop, is put into the form of the numeral 13, does not add any force or power to it. A drop of ink or paint on the door of a hotel room would have just as much power to produce harm as it would if formed into the figure 13. Good Roads. Another need emphasized by the people everywhere is good roads. They want them faster than they are building them. Many favor some form of aid by the federal government. Some favor the direct building of long highways under the government's authority to construct postroads, others want help given to local governments on condition that local governments pay much of the cost and then keep them in order. Public opinion in general favors the national government going at least so far as to have a body of road-building engineers who shall give advice to any community that asks it—show just what sort of roads to build—and who shall work out large plans for long roads and thus cause adjacent localities to work together. Again, the government can show the people how.—World's Work. Grizzlies Eat Violets. In one locality the grizzly of the Rockies is found eating the fresh sprig of the dog-tooth violet and the green leaves of the spring beauties, says Fur News, while a few hundred miles further on, to the north or south as the case may be, the grizzly doesn't touch them. Instead he may be discovered munching at the young shoots of the shooting star, down in the Bitter Root mountain country, for instance, among the towering peaks of the higher Rockies. Upon this question of locality which is often overlooked or even ignored by nature writers, lies the solution of many warmly disputed points between those who tell the public at large all about nature and its animals. In the Good Old Times. The first temperance society is said to have been founded by Margrave Frederick V. in 1600, and it is instructive to learn that the noble members of that society were bound by a pledge, good for two years, not to drink more than seven bumpers of wine with any meal, nor more than 14 bumpers a day. They were, however, permitted to quench any surplus of thirst with beer and to drink one glass of whisky on the side. By this ideal of abstention may be gauged the ordinary drinking habits of our forefathers in the good old times when knighthood was in flower.—Morris Hillquit, in Socialism. Bean Milk. "There actually is a bean milk," said a milkman. "It is drunk, put in tea and coffee and even frozen for ice cream. The Japs are its inventors. "This milk is made of the Soia bean THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The bean is first soaked, then boiled in water. After the liquid turns white, sugar and phosphate of potash are added, and the boiling is kept up till a substance of the thickness of molasses is obtained. "Nobody could tell this bean milk from condensed milk, and ,when water is added, it can't be told from the fresh. The Japanese poor use nothing else."—Philadelphia Bulletin. Hurry and Dispatch No two things differ more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one. A weak man in office, like a squirrel in a cage, is laboring eternally, but to no purpose, and in constant motion without getting on a jot; like a turnstile, he is in everybody's way, but stops nobody; he talks a great deal, but says very little; looks into everything, but sees into nothing; and has a hundred irons in the fire, but few of them are hot, and with those few that are, he only burns his fingers.—Colton. Slept While Legs Burnt. George Campbell of Sunnycale, Cal., is congratulating himself upon the fact that he is a cripple in both legs. The other night a fire broke out in the American hotel in Sunnyvale, which was discovered by the daughter of the proprietor. In her night dress and barefooted she ran a quarter of a mile to sound the alarm and probably saved Campbell's life. When the volunteer fire department arrived upon the scene they found that his wooden legs were burning, but he was sleeping blissfully unconscious of the fact. The blaze was practically confined to his room. Definition of a Kiss. "A kiss! When all is said, what is a kiss? An oath of allegiance taken in close proximity, a promise more precise, a seal on a confession, a rose-red dot upon the letter in loving; a secret which elects the mouth for ear; an instant of eternity murmuring like a bee; balmy communion with a flavor of flowers; a fashion of inhaling each other's heart, and of tasting, on the brink of the lips, each other's soul!"—Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac. Holds Prominent Positions. Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, who for ten years has been the president of Lake Placid conference, was elected president of the American Home Economics association at its last meeting in Washington. Mrs. Richards also has charge of the home economics department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. First vice-president elected was Miss Isabel Bevier, professor of household science in the University of Illinois. A council of 25 was elected and this council will elect five of its members who, with the five elective officers of the society, will be the executive committee. The Red Room a Quaint Place. Under the new regime in Washington one of the most interesting spots in the White House will be the Red room, in which Taft will place his teakwood and silver gifts from other lands. The Red room is less crowded than any of the other state rooms, and has little in the way of accessories except the cabinet of ebony, filled with tiny Japanese figures, presented to the Roosevelt children by the Japanese ambassador, Baron Takahira. These figures would look better in a museum, and it is likely they will go there. Want your Property For Sale and For Rent. Also your Fire Insurance and Short Loan Business. Shall we have it?

We must remember that only a little more than a single generation has passed since the race emerged from 250 years of abject slavery and ignorance." The Rev. Henry Churchill King, D. D., president of Oberlin college, at Oberlin, O., also spoke, laying particular emphasis on the efficiency of manual training as an integral part of our present system of education. Principal Matthew Anderson's appeal for funds with which to carry on the work of the school met a hearty response from the large audience. Mrs. H. L. Clark's gift of a $6,000 building for manual training work was the largest of any individual gift which the school received at this meeting. COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. Maharry Medical School at Nashville, Tenn., Graduates Large Classes. The annual commencement and class exercises of Maharry Medical college at Nashville. Tenn., which occurred recently, were attended by a large gathering of educators, graduates and former students of the school from many sections of the adjoining states. There were eighteen graduates in pharmacy, nineteen in dentistry, sixty-five in medicine and four nurses. There were two young women graduates from the medical department and two from the pharmaceutical department. Much interest attached to the awarding of prizes. The prize winners were as follows: Obstetrics, Miss Mason of Tennessee; pedagogy, S. B. Banks; senior prize, S. O. Shoffner; crown and bridge work, D. H. Brown; best gold filling, A. S. Hunter of South Carolina; medal for efficiency, Charles A. Dunston of North Carolina; address on tuberculosis, $5, C. S. Powell of Tennessee; gynecology, Dr. McMillan of Texas. The address to the graduating class was delivered by the scholarly Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga. There were many prominent colored and white citizens on the platform during the exercises. Maharry is one of the leading medical colleges for Negroes in the south. A Historic Piece of Paper. A deed and a bill of sale for a Negro sold to one of Mrs. Russell Sage's ancestors were found a few days ago under the flooring of a 250-year-old house in Bridgehampton, N. Y., by some carpenters. The papers were found in a small bag that had been placed beneath the attic floor of what is now the summer home of William C. Engle. The deed, under date of Oct. 7, 1717, conveyed to Theophilus Pierson the property now owned by Mr. Engle. The bill of sale for a Negro man to Henry Pierson is dated Oct. 24, 1694, and bears the signature of Dorias Jones. Coming Greek Letter Men. The Afro-American students at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., have organized a chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity similar to those among the colored men at Yale and the University of Michigan. So far the only man of the race who has written a Greek text book is Professor William Saunders Scarborough, now president of Wilberforce college, at Wilberforce O. May he have many disciples from among the coming Greek letter men of these chapters. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD THRIFTY AFRO-AMERICANS. Our People at Cambridge, Md., Prosperous—No Race Friction. Probably there is no small city in Maryland where the Negro is doing better than in Cambridge. This little city has a population of 6,000, one third of whom are colored people. Although there are only 2,000 colored people in the town, there is every indication that they are away ahead of their brethren in many business enterprises. They have fourteen well stocked grocery stores, two physicians, one photographer, one oyster packing house, one lawyer, a merchant tailoring establishment, a beef dealer, a carpenter and builder and a general store where furniture, carpets, clothing and other merchandise are sold. There are three churches. Rev. A. L. Martin has been pastor of Waugh M. E. church for the past twelve years and is said to be one of the hardest workers for racial uplift at Cambridge. There is a Baptist church, as well as an African Methodist church-union Bethel. In the latter church, of which Rev. S. H. Cooper is pastor, the Baltimore conference of the African Methodist church will be held the latter part of April. Mr. H. M. St. Clair is the only AfroAmerican member of the city council. He is also proprietor of a grocery store, principal of one of the public schools and grand master of exchequer of the Maryland grand lodge of Knights of Pythias. The people say that the relation between the races is of the most friendly nature. As a prominent member of the race said recently: "We sustain the best of relations with the white people here. In business every courtesy is granted us, and the banks give us every facility enjoyed by any other class of business men. Our people here are liberal in their patronage. In fact, I believe no more race loving people can be found in Maryland." John H. Jones, who is in the insurance business, re-echoes the same sentiment and says: "Not only are our business and professional men succeeding, but the colored people here pay a considerable amount of taxes on real and personal property. In my opinion, the colored people in Cambridge are doing better than in any small city in the state. We have no saloons here, and that accounts for the absence of much disorder. We have two of the best bands in Maryland, and these afford ample recreation for our people." There is a man in London who is a bit absentminded, but his politeness never falls him. He went to church last Sunday, and when the minister said "Let us pray" he responded in tones audible throughout the building, "Certainly, by all means."—London Tit-Bits. The League Journal is the name of a new weekly paper which recently made its appearance at New Rochelle, N. Y. It's a four pager and starts out upon the journalistic sea with flying colors under the command of the well known John E.

Davis and Stonewall J. Crews are associate editors of the Journal, which will be the official organ of the New Rochelle Co-operative Business league. We bid you welcome. Brother Bruce.

Dr. and Mrs. G. E. Cannon Celebrate Marriage Anniversary at Jersey City. One of the most enjoyable social events at Jersey City, N. J., among Afro-Americans recently was the one given by Dr. and Mrs. George E. Cannon at their residence, 354 Pacific avenue, in celebration of the eighth anniversary of their marriage. The dining hall in which the collation was served was beautifully decorated with pink and green. Three hundred invitations were sent out, and the reception was largely attended. Their friends from Newark, Orange and Plainfield, N. J., and from Brooklyn and New York came in great numbers. Dr. and Mrs. Cannon were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents. Dr. Cannon, who is an honor graduate of Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, came from Sumter, S. C., about twenty years ago. He supplemented his medical knowledge with a special course at New York and has been practicing medicine at Jersey City since 1900. He has gained the reputation of being one of the best physicians in the city and has a very large practice, the greater number of his patients being some of the best white people in Jersey City. Through his influence the colored people of Jersey City for the past three years have given an annual entertainment in Hasbrouck hall to raise funds for Christ hospital for the benefit of poor colored people who are not able to pay for their treatment. Large sums have been raised each time. Dr. Cannon is a most zealous church worker and is found in his pew at church every Sunday. He is a charter member of the Presbyterian church, trustee and elder, also clerk of the session, and has labored hard for the interest of the chuch in raising money for its maintenance. He is examining physician for the Elks and the United Aid and Benevolent association at Jersey City. Mrs. Cannon is a daughter of Mr. Wilkerson of Washington. Her father has had charge of the supreme section of the Congressional library for forty-seven years. He supplies the supreme court with references. Mrs. Cannon, who graduated from the high school at Washington, is a great church worker and has always taken the lead in raising money for the rallies, seldom bringing in less than $75. She has won for herself a host of friends. COMMENCEMENT AT LINCOLN. Graduating Class at Lincoln University Has Three South Africans. Three South Africans, two of them sons of Zulu chieftains, were the center of attraction at the commencement exercises of the Theological seminary of Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa., recently. These men have finished a seven year course and are now going back to their own country to teach Christianity in Cape Colony. At least one of these men could succeed his father as a tribal chieftain, but he prefers a life of teaching and preaching the gospel. The three men who were especial objects of interest at the exercises were Simon Tamba Mantanga, Livingston Nitham Mzimba and Simon William Njkelana. An address by Livingston Nitham Mzimba on "Daybreak In the Dark Continent" told of the conditions which they THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. would race and the good work they hope to help along. The university is proud of these three graduates, and their presence gave a more than ordinary interest to the commencement. The class this year numbered thirteen, five of them being from outside the United States. The graduates are: Page Mumford Veverley, John Richard Curtis, Virginia; John Quinton Evans, North Carolina; William John Helm, Delaware; Charles Arnold James, Manasseh Harr Wilkinson, West Indies; Abraham Kendrick, Tennessee; James Albert Kiah, Maryland; William Wilson Todd, Pennsylvania; Quinton Winefer Primo, British Guiana; Simon Tamba Mantanga, Livingston Nitham Mzimba and Simon William Njkelana of South Africa. Rev. Robert Watson of Cincinnati, O., made the principal address. Other speakers were Rev. Dr. Edward G. Fullerton, Rev. Dr. Samuel S. Gilson and M. H. Harrington. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. John Calhoun of Germantown, Pa. Spectacles for Horses. The business of one well-known firm of opticians in England consists largely in the manufacture of horse spectacles. The object of the spectacles is to promote high stepping. They are made of stiff leather, entirely closing the eyes of the horse, and the glasses used are deep concave and large in size. The ground seems to the horse to be raised and he steps high, thinking he is going uphill or has to step over some obstacle. This system of spectacles is generally adopted while the horse is young, and its effect on his step and action is said to be remarkable. It has been discovered that the cause of a horse's shying is as a rule short sight, and it is now suggested that the sight of all horses should be tested, like that of children. Work for the Unemployed. Lack of employment is not a new question. Says the Liverpool Mercury of February 14, 1812: "It is of the highest importance that a committee of the legislature should immediately inquire into the causes of the present want of employment among the laboring classes, and whether means might not be found in a nation of which the revenue is immense by which a succession of public works," etc., etc. There were at that time, nearly 100 years ago, 16,000 unemployed in Liverpool. The same writer, after asking: "Is war the only employment that the state has to give the poor?" goes on to show that the pyramids of Egypt and the "elegant edifices of Greece" were built with the object of "giving continual employment to the laborer." Lifted Patient's Brain. One of the most extraordinary operations recorded in the history of surgery was recently carried out at the Kaiserin Augusta hospital, Berlin, by its surgeon, Prof. Krause. It was the extirpation of a tumor which had grown from the hypothysis of the brain, a gland situated in the very midst of the skull. The patient was a woman 35 years old. The tumor was reached by forming a very long skin and bone flap on the right forehead and temporal region. It was larger than a hen's egg, and was buried more than three inches deep in the substance of the brain. Nevertheless the whole tumor was successfully removed by lifting the anterior brain. The patient is doing well. Crate of Stromboll. Stromboli, which poured out streams of lava during the Italian earthquake disaster, then played a most unusual part. For this Aeolian crater vomits flame persistently and cinders spasmodically. The "lighthouse of the Mediterranean" has been known to stick to its function of torch-bearer for the space of 2,000 years. Whenever the tiny, regular eruption takes place the stones drop back again into the crater. While the ancients regarded Stromboli variously as the smithy of Vucan and the headquarters of Aeolus the men of the middle ages looked upon it as the main highway of purgatory. Dresden. In Dresden I began to realize that the charm of Leipsic lay in the quaint atmosphere of its old buildings, among which even trade had grown romantic, in the airiness of the many squares, in a village-like flavor of homely intimacy caught amid the modern prose of a commercial city. Meissen had been something beyond experience, a dream of strange beauty. But in Dresden I found a beauty very real and tangible, directly arousing, without complicated equipments of antiquity, the instant repose of the pleasure-loving human heart, like a voluptuous melody on the 'cello.—Century Magazine. Amber. Did you suppose amber was old enough to be familiar in pre-Biblical times? A passage in Ezekiel, 1:4, is as follows: 'And I looked, and behold a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber." There is scarcely anything that can be handled that has not at some time in the course of history been used as money. Amber was once so used in some of the countries around the Mediterranean. False Economy Expensive. It is a mistake for the homemaker to economize at the expense of her own health. There are hundreds of women trying to save money by eliminating the services of the scrub woman, the furnace man or the laundress, saving to spend on senseless things like unnecessary clothing. There is nothing but admiration for the thrifty woman who tries to help the bread winners of the family, but for senseless economy women need not expect commendation. Be Am able and Retain Youth. As a charming woman once said: "To remain always young one must be always amiable." A melancholy face, a sullen, an evil look, is like coming in contact with winter; whereas a serene face, a gracious air, a kind and good expression, is like a spring day, and a smile on the lips like its sunshine. Sulky people, you may have remarked, always appear to be ten years older than they are. The face grows wrinkled from contracting the brows; the mouth projects disagreeably when sulking. Behold beside the portrait of the sullen woman the picture of the sweet and gracious woman; all her features are in repose, her lips form an adorable Cupid's bow, kindness softens her glance and goodness illuminates her brow. Perhaps she is the elder, but she will always appear young and charming. 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.

It is known to every member in this community that the True Reformers stand for co-operation and concentration, not only in finance and fraternal matters, but in spiritual matters as well. Long ago it was decided to visit every church in Denver during this year and to encourage the weak and struggling missions to greater work by giving them a larger representation than to the older and stronger churches. Sunday night Rev. C. A. Murphy received them at his church and preached from the following text of Josiah: "Who hath brought this report?" The sermon was full of the missionary spirit of Jesus, showing how God's messengers bore His messages of unity, strength, power and purpose. The unity, strength and action of the True Reformers that night incidentally made his text analogous to the occasion. Shorter cooperated in loaning her magnificent edifice for the sermon. Many good things were said and Chief Cash afterwards took up an offering for the reverend from the membership. A neat sum was presented to Rev. Murphy. NOTICE! SEE! All persons selling tickets for Miss Virginia Morris' musical must have them or the money at Shorter May 10, at 8 o'clock, in order that settlement can be made.

General Jobbing Promptly Attended To PAGE. 6 Taft on the Race Problem. President's Utterances as Set Forth In His Public Addresses Before and After His Election Uplifting In Their Tone and Alm. The speeches of President William H. Taft touching upon the Negro problem which he delivered before and after his election to the presidency have been carefully put together in consecutive order and published in pamphlet form by the Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy department at Washington. In his preface to the eight addresses which the pamphlet contains the author says: "The aim is to place these speeches in consecutive form for preservation by those who are deeply interested in and affected by his utterances. That they are uplifting in their tone and aim and that his whole career—his words and deeds—is in harmony with his utterances no Negro who reads and digests that which he reads can dispute. "This compilation is not an attempt to establish his friendship for or emphasize his interest in the race. His friendship he inherited, and his interest has been emphasized by the consistent course he has pursued in recognizing ability, character and merit without reference to race or color of skin. The compilation, as before stated, is simply to place in consecutive form his helpful and uplifting utterances touching upon a subject of vital importance to the ten millions of people in these United States who are collated as Negroes." For instance, in his speech at the Tabernacle Baptist church, Augusta, Ga., Jan. 17, the president said: "My Fellow Citizens—I am glad to be here. I should have been better satisfied if I could have sat for an hour and heard the eloquence of your Dr. Walker, whose reputation as a minister of the gospel and as a man who speaks not only eloquence, but sense, has reached into the far north. "I always come before an audience like this with a great deal of hesitation, because you know what eloquence is, and I haven't any to give you. I know the wide influence for good that Dr. Walker exercises in this community. I was glad to hear him speak of the good feeling that exists J THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. between the white and the colored races in this community, and I doubt not that his words, his leadership and his common sense have greatly contributed to that end." Probably no part of any of the president's public address has been more widely quoted and at the same time more vaguely understood than the passage in his inaugural address dealing with the appointment of Negroes to federal offices. It follows: "But it may well admit of doubt whether in the case of any race an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so widespread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore the executive in recognizing the Negro race by appointments must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. "Personally I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent it, a better feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the south will continue to grow and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the south is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro. The exercise of political franchises by those of his race who are intelligent and well to do will be acquiesced in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible of both races." The work of compiling these addresses could not have been intrusted to an abler man than Auditor Tyler, who is a journalist of years of experience, having served on many of the influential daily papers of Ohio, and who is also deeply interested in every phase and condition of his race in the United States. Negroes Own Mound Bayou. One-half the Negro families at Mound Bayou, Miss., according to Mr. Charles Banks, own their homes, and more than two-thirds of the homes in which Negroes live are owned by members of the race. One hundred and sixtynine families that rent from Negro landlords pay an annual rental of $13,000. Marked Industrial Uplift. The Lawrenceville Industrial school, at Lawrenceville, Va., which was started twenty-one years ago without a dollar laid aside with which to carry on its work, is worth at the present time $200,000 and has 1,600 acres of farm land. It is the educational center for the colored people of Brunswick county, Va., whose industrial uplift has been very marked along all lines of agricultural pursuits since the founding of the school.

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.

CARMEL NICHOLS MAKING RAPID STRIDES. We have at hand a program of the Painting Class Anniversary of 1909, which was held at the Girls' Trade building at Western University. Among the prominent officers are Guy Coker, president, and Carmel Nichols, treasurer. One of the events of the evening was the toast given by Carmel Nichols on the subject, "The Student Body of Western University and Twenty Years Later." Mr. Coker in responding as president to Mr. Nichols, showed his eloquence and power as well as the complete mastership of the occasion. The poem, "Printers of '09," composed by Roby and Johnson and set up by Nichols, was read and created a profound impression. In music, in business, in literary and now in printing, we are showing how the Colorado students push themselves forward at this school. There is no question about the students getting the proper inspiration, enthusiasm and patriotic racial feeling at the school because of the connection of the school to Bishop A. Grant and that peerless, eloquent, practical and representative Negro leader, Registrar of the Treasury, William T. Vernon, the true Western leader. It certainly pays to have your children rub up against these big men once or twice a year and for that reason the people of Colorado are waking up to the fact of the necessity of sending their children to a school of this kind, where the Negro brings out and forward elements of manhood and character that can only and will be brought out by the Negro. So tickled are the home boys at the progress of the young men at school that several are considering seriously of going next year. Colorado feels proud of her able sons.

So great and so widespread had Denver's name gotten on the musical map that the Gerald Tyler Choral club, under the personal direction of Mr. Gerald Tyler, in Kansas City, Mo., gave last month Massenet's Oratorio, "Mary Magdalene," having the following famous artists: Miss Inez Clough of Boston, soprano; Miss Constania Brown, contralto; Mr. Harry Burleigh of New York, baritone; Mr. Geo. D. Holt of Des Moines, Iowa, tenor, and Mr. Carl Rassini Diton of Philadelphia, as pianist. There were 100 voices in the enorus and the largest high school in the city was secured to render this musical gem in. Fully ten or twelve thousand people saw the rendition, the majority were whites. Now what does this mean to Denver? It means simply this, that we must get busy and encourage every effort of every organization seeking to bring such eminent PAGE.8.

The expected happenings are Miss Moore, the 18-year-old violinist wonder on May 10, and Kelly Miller, who is likely to come under the auspices of the I. G. A. There will be no question but that the Choral club and the I. G. A. will work hand in hand in the future efforts that the best of our race can be brought here. Every knocker of such grand and noble movements ought to be slated for destruction. Kansas City co-operated and has signally won the honor from Denver. It is Denver's time next. What will she do? HIGHLY HONORED. . The Philadelphia Tribune says: "Miss Virginia Moore was assisted by the following artists at her farewell recital Thursday evening, the 15th Instant, at Zion Baptist church: Mr. Preston Slowe, baritone; Mrs. India Evans, piano; Miss Florence Burton, soprano, The Amphion Quartet and Mr. Carl Diton, accompanist. "Miss Moore played at Detroit, Mich., Sunday afternoon to a crowded house. She was presented with two huge bouquets from the Ladies' Auxiliary of Johnson's band and a solid gold bracelet, set with three diamonds and three emeralds, the gift of the Harrisburg Musical club. ALAMOSA NEWS. Mr. L. Riley will visit Denver soon. Mrs. A. J. Riley is very busy with her garden these days. Mrs. Mack Wright was called to Kansas City, Mo., on account of the serious illness of her mother. Mack Wright and A. J. Riley returned home Friday morning, and report a very pleasant trip to the Capital City. Hallway of Carved Sicillian Carte. A young woman in New York with a purse long enough to satisfy her craving for artistic expression in her home has constructed a hallway and stairs out of carts used by Sicillian peasants. These carts, as every globe trotter knows, are painted in the most vivid colors, and frequently show fine examples of wood carving. The hallway is paneled with the sides, fronts and tailboards of carts, and the carvings include cherubs' heads, angels and saints. Spokes are used for baluster spindles, and shafts have been spliced for the stair railing. The effect is somewhat barbaric, but has been admired by many artists. The young woman is proud of her conception and execution, and flatters herself on the probability that she owns the only exhibit of the kind in the world. ```markdown ``` TERMS.

There {is no. mistake about just where the pastor of Zion Baptist church stands as to the unity and frienship between the pastors and var- fous congregations. Rev. D. E. Over is a scholar, a pleasing speaker with excellent delivery and a very entkus- jastic man of the gospel. To the writer's mind he is the peer of any minister Zion has ever had and the people ought certainly to feel proud of him. The Baptists and the Method- ists blended so completely that the identity of the denominations was wiped out. Everybody was at home and thoroughly enjoyed Rev. Over’s sermon on 2ist chapter, verse 3 of John, “I go afishing and they sald | go also.” It is impossible for us to give in detail the argument because it was reasoned largely deductively. His salient points were shown when the disciples, while they waited and watched for Jesus they kept busy. How they consoled, advised in such a co- operative way which resulted in physi- cal and spiritual strength. How strong he showed the diciples were full of res- olution, volition, to do and be personal examples and lay foundations for Christ and not quitters for they never are rewarded. His beautiful climax after the whole night's fishing was said by Jesus, who took them to the shore, “Come and dine.” Mrs. Lillian Jones sang “Lost Sheep” so pathetic- ally that even that difficult sacred classic moved many hearts with re- ligious felling. The rally was not all that was expected, but quite a sum was realized. BAND MEN, NOTICE. One of the most noted cornetists and teachers of bands in the East de- sires to spend summer in Colorado.

The painters and decorators nave Campbell church in hand, and when they get through the only things that will look the same will be the out- line. The pastor and congregation have also set out to put new orna- mental windows in where the plain ones are now, and various clubs and individuals have this work in hand. In last week the officers and members had a big jollification over the suc- cessful outcome of the rally, netting $800. All the current bills of the church have been met, and a goodly sum paid on the mortgage. Rev. Wil- liams has just returned from Boulder, where he went to assist in revival services. DAY NURSERY AND HOME FOR WORKING WOMEN. The Sunshine Haven Association will hold an apron bazaar, at Shorter church, Tuesday, May 27.

Some of the most prominent club workers in the city are associated with the movement, and with the practical turn that they would give it, it will gain strengts rapidly. It is also planned to make of it a school for domestic science. 8. D. A. MISSION 2806 California Street. SERVICES. Sabbath school, 10 a. m.; preaching, 11:15 a. m.; bible study, 2:30 p: m.
