FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society CHRISTIAN WARRIOR LAYS HIS ARMOR DOWN CHRISTIAN LAYS THOUSANDS HONOR THE MEMORY OF DR. R. N. COUNTEE. The pastor of Zion Baptist church Rev. D. E. Over, returned last week from Kansas City, where he attended the funeral of Dr. Countee, who spent the winter here in Denver, supplying Zion's pulpit. Rev. Over reports that the funeral was the most elegantly appointed that he has ever known, and the magnificent outpouring of thousands was a fitting tribute to a leader who was known and loved in every part of the country. The service was held at the Second Baptist church, of which Dr. Bacote is pastor. Rev. J H. Van Lue, state missionary of Kansas, preached the funeral, while Rev. Over delivered the principal eulogy on the life of Dr. Countee. The floral tribute were elaborate and expressed truly the love and esteem in which Brother Countee was held. There were perhaps as many as 60 ministers in attendance, coming from as far as the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. The pastor of Zion read the following resolutions: Whereas, There comes an hour in the affairs of the men of all nations when it is fitting that they pause in the midst of their multitudinous labors to render a passing tribute of respect to the sacred memory of their honored dead. Pause to drop a tear, to heave a sigh, to breathe a prayer. Such an hour struck for the members of the Zion Baptist church, when, like a bolt from a clear sky, came the sad intelligence of the decease of our beloved benefactor. Truly a prince and a great man lies, this day, fallen in Israel. He came to us in the day of our sorest trial, the hour of our greatest need, and by strong hand, clear head and tender heart he lead the scattered forces of our beloved Zion to peace, prosperity and union once more. We found him a father, a friend, a brother, a counsellor and a guide. Wise, fearless, patient kind and true, a living exemplar of those principles for which he gave his life.

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. By the PASTOR. Denver, Colo., April 25, 1909. Pasadena, Calif., April 27, 1909. The Statesman: The late Rev. R. N. Countee came to this city from Kansas City, Mo., on April 10th. On' reaching the city he was invited to preach for the Rev. A. O. D. Steel, Sunday morning, and on Sunday night he preached for the Friendship Baptist Church. I am told each sermon was a masterpiece. I had a long talk with him Monday evening from 2:45 to 3:45 and he left me for his stopping place, and at the hour of 1:15 Tuesday morning, April 20th, when all were asleep, he called out to the inmates of the house. "I am choking to death." A doctor was called, but he had passed medical assistance; his heart was too weak; and at 1:45 he passed to the land far away. He leaves a number of friends. G. W.

Time and Patience Needed to Work Out Race Problem. Professor J. H. Torbert, who is the principal of the High and Industrial School For Afro-Americans, Fort Valley, Ga., said in a recent address before a large audience of white people at Brooklyn, N. Y.: "The Negro problem is a great one. It cannot be solved in a day nor a decade nor in a generation. It must be worked out through patience and work and hope and prayer and sublime faith. "Let me appeal to philanthropists of the north to re-enforce the already large army of workers at the south, because in education lies the hope of this people. "Educate us and we will fight ignorance. Encourage us and we will fight crime. Treat us as a people who have feelings and desires and hopes in common with people of other races and we can work more heartily from within. We will have more pride of self, pride of race and pride of country. When the clean and the upright, when the useful and the progressive, of my race are encouraged and protected, when worth and merit shall have a larger part in determining our treatment and the color of the skin less, we can more willingly and effectively aid in ferreting out crime, bringing criminals to justice and teach respect for law and obedience to authority. An individual works best when he has encouragement, when he is told of his good qualities and when he is fully trusted. What is true of an individual is also true of a race. Be generous to us in our poverty, be lenient with us in our shortcomings, and we as a race will quickly acknowledge our mistakes and as quickly strive to make them less. But it must be borne in mind that we have a tremendous problem upon our hands at the south." AN HONOR TO HIS RACE. Walter H. Loving, Who Broke Racial Lines In Founding Filipino Band. Dunbar's "When de Colo'ed Band Comes Marching Down the Street" would not be an exaggerated description of the Filipino band. Under the matchless leadership of Captain Walter H. Loving it is winning the unstinted praise of the music loving people of Washington. The grand opening of the great Washington driveway, called by some the "Esplanade," by others "Riverside drive," was the scene of a brilliant assemblage recently to witness the concert by the Filipino band. The program on that occasion was unusually strong and effective. President and Mrs. Taft, members of the cabinet, with their wives, and other distinguished personages were among Good Work For Home Missions. Society of Women at Worcester, Mass., Celebrates Fourth Anniversary With Mite Box Opening at Bethel M. E. Church—Prizes Awarded. By Miss RE ALLEN. The Woman’s Home Missionary so- ciety of the Bethel Methodist Episco- pal church, Worcester, Mass., cele. brated its fourth anniversary recently with a reception and mite box opening. The members of the society were dis- tinguished by red ribbon badges. The devotional topic was conducted by the president, Mrs. Edward Scott, and Miss L. Van Hoesen. The president, who made the opening address, gave a glowing account of the work which the society has accomplished and urged the members to work more zeal- ously to make the coming year one of larger results than any in the past. Mrs. Scott said: “The Woman’s Home Missionary society has become an im- (a os P is , or ore re bas Oe . lo ee Sao 2 & Ben, : . ps ee MRS.

Our aim is to assist the sick, the poor and the needy as far as our means and personal help will permit, and it is indeed encouraging to know that those who have been the recipients of the society’s help have shown their appreciation.” The annual _ report, which was read by Mrs. Frank Price, showed that the society had done a large amount of good during the year. The report was very cheering to the members. Miss Bessie Van Allen ren- dered a pleasing piano solo, which was followed by a paper on social settle- ment work, which was read by Miss A. L. Van Allen, who gave in detail some of the methods by which work of that kind is carried on by the soct- ety. Miss Lena Wilson gave a vocal solo, after which the president intro- duced Mrs. Roswell Hazard, who 1s a prominent missionary worker at the John Street Baptist church. Mrs. Haz- ard’s subject was “Service and Sacri- fice.” She gave a splendid réview of the work of the women of the early Christian church and also of their be ing the first at the tomb on the resur- rection morning. She told further of how many women had sacrificed the comforts of home and friends and had gone forth. sometimes with their hus.

The closing numbers were a piano solo by Mrs. Raymond Jones, a selec- tion by Mrs. Frank Price and a vocal duet by Miss Nellie McNorton and Mrs. Lena Wilson. The mite box opening was in charge of Mr. Silas Laws. Rey. Mr. W. B Perry, pastor of the church, announced the names of those entitled to prizes, as follows: Mrs. Frank Price, first prize, which was a handsome sofa pil- low; Mrs. Fannie Hazard, second prize, a fancy apron; Miss Ada Edson, third prize, which was a beautiful glass dish. The officers of the society are Mrs. Ed- ward Scott, president; Mrs. Amos Jack. son, Vice president; Mrs. Frank Price, secretary; Miss Elizabeth Nott, treas- urer, CHAIRMAN PARKER OUSTED. Went Too Far In Declaring For Demo cratic Mayoralty Candidate. News recently came from Spokane Wash., to the effect that Charles Par. ker, who is the publisher of the Spo- kane Citizen, had been ousted from the chairmanship of the executive commit- tee of the Nonpartisan Improvement Club of Afro-American Voters because he publicly declared himself in favor of N. S. Pratt, who is the Democratic candidate for mayor of that city. Mr. Parker is one of the leaders among the Negro voters and claims to know a thing or two about what the Negro ought to do in local polities; but, strange to say, at a meeting of the committee Mr. Parker was informed that he had gone too far in announe- ing his indorsement of any candidate without first consulting with the other members of the committee and was asked to resign. This he refused to do, after which the committee remov- ed him and named in his place O. B. Clayborne. While the club has not made an in- dorsement of either Omo or Pratt, it is claimed a majority of the club are in favor of the former candidate. Difference Between Mobs. M. M. Lewey, editor of the Florida Sentinel, at Pensacola, says editorially: “The Negro may appeal or petition for federal appointments, but in the last analysis he can make no effectual political demands for the reason that Seven-eighths of the population Is white and, politically speaking, this is a white man’s country. Mobs are prey- alent all over the country in some form or other, but the tendency of the south toward mobs fs a lesser evil to- ward the black man than in the north. We make this statement from the fact that northern white mobs shoot and kill regardless of the guilty or inno- cent. In the south the mob seeks for identification and then murder.” Brother Lewey is dead wrong. This is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The Negro is not so much concerned about fed- eral appointments as he Is about the just enforcement of the law of the land as it should be applied to all of its citizens alike. In the last analysis Editor Lewey is wrong, and he knows {t. Thrifty Galilean Fishermen. The National Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen, which was or- ganized at Baltimore about fifty- three years ago, has had a wonderful growth In the United States both in numbers and in finance, It has a mem- bership of $2,000, has created a large endowment fund and operates a say- ings bank. The Psychology — Of the Bible. Members of ihe! Garton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. of Brooklyn Hear Noted Divine Discuss the Transforming influences of the Bible. The Rey. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., who was the principal speaker at the monthly public meeting of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men’s Christian association, which was held recently at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, N. Y., is a graduate of Wayland seminary, which is now a par: of Virginia Union univer. sity. Richmond, Va. He was pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist church, New Haven, Conn., for a good many years. In the fall of 1908 Dr. Powell received a call from the Abyssinia Baptist church at New York city, which after due considera- tinn he atcepted and has since been installed pastor. He is one of the lead- ing ministers of the New England Baptist missionary convention. He ts scholarly, a gifted orator and a faith- ful pastor. His address before the Young Men's Christian association was brilliant and brimful of timely advice, given as the SV a VA ’ \ SN Z. aN , REV. A. C. POWELL, D Db. result of his ripe experience and re- sourceful knowledge. Dr. Powell's subject was “The Transforming Influ- ences of the Bible.” He said in part: “All persons who travel this globe have an tnexpressible passion for a knowledge of God. I love this book more than I do my own soul, for when my soul was wrecked, ruined and lost God rescued and saved ft. From a purely literary standpoint the Bible ts the greatest book that has ever left the press, and, more than all, it is a book on fire with the thoughts of the living God. We must make him first in our homes, first in our hearts and first in our thoughts. The word of God is the only thing that will convert the soul. Plato's philosophy will not do it; Cicero's oratory will not do ft; Darwin's theory of evolution will not do it. If you will give this book first place in your hearts it will start the bells ringing in your souls and give you new hearts. The Bible fs the only sure knowledge. Science is shifting coutinuously, but men have been PAGE. 10. studying the ible for over a thou- sand years, and not one obsolete sen- tence has been found. Men tell us that this earth came from nebulae and has developed to its present propor- tions, but the Bible says, ‘In the be- ginning God made the heavens and earth,’ and that is sufficient for me. We. are to fight these false theories with all the Christian influence we can sum up. Science would have us be- lieve that we sprang from tadpoles, monkeys and baboons, but the Bible tells us that God made man out of the dust of the earth, and his word ts sure. When this world shall haye sunken into the abyss of oblivion, when the sun, like a cinder, is rolling about In space and the stars are lying like wrecked cart wheels along the highway to eternity, God’s word will stand. The world is looking for happiness. Man's whole tife Js a sequel to happi- ness. The rich pay enormous sums of money in travel and various kinds of amusement—for what? Looking for happiness. The poor spend their hard earnings in first one way and then an- other looking for happiness. But true happiness can only be obtained through the heart. The heart must be right, and God alone can transform It. He not only changes the heart, but the mind and body. If you would be as beautiful as the rainbow that spans the throne of God, follow Christ. A Christian is a new man or woman in Christ Jesus. In this chapter every culture in the category of sciences Is evident. There are ethics and psychol ogy enough there to keep you study- ing the rest of your lives. Make a study of the Bible day by day.” Gwendolyn's Birthday Party. Mr. and Mrs. Lennington Hutchins gave their little daughter, Gwendolyn, a happy birthday party at their home in Qne Hundred and Thirty-second street. New York city, recently upon her second anniversary, The little tot Invited fifty friends, and they all had an enjoyable time, amusing themselves with toys and by pinning the cue on the Chinaman’s head.

Although Henry H. Wells, a Negro veteran of the civil war, died at the National Soldiers’ home in Virginia some time ago, his wife and daughter, who live In Washington, did not learn of the fact until recently.

At the home he was buried with full mil- {tary honors. His family have since been to the home and made certain of the Identification.

This is the irst funeral of the company under the new manager, J. R. Contee. He is no stranger in the community and standing at the head of a corporation which embraces some of the city's best known citizens and most responsible financially, it goes without saying that the company will go forward.

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. Q. J.

The central figure, the promoter, in fact, the creator of this band, is Captain Walter H. PHOTO. BY ADDISON H. SCURLOCK - WASH. O.G. CAPTAIN W. H. LOVING. Loving, an Afro-American of fine presence, attractive physique and winning personality. The driveway concert is only one of the many given by the Filipino band, which has been giving performances at Washington more or less since the 4th of March, when it won the day as it marched down Pennsylvania avenue in the inaugural parade. It played afterward at the pension office and at the White House. Captain Loving is a native of Washington, where he received his education, which he afterward supplemented in some of the big musical conservatories of the east. He is a musician by nature, training and adoption. He went to the far east, demonstrated his musical ability, organized the Philippine Constabulary band and returned to his home, after an absence of about six years, heralded and received by musical critics of high repute as one of the world's greatest bandmasters. Of all the colored men who have gone to the Philippine Islands not one has gained such fame as Walter Loving. He broke into new fields, into unexplored forests. He sought and succeeded in breaking over racial lines and as a result comes back to his native land as the leader of a band composed of eighty-five men of the Malay race. Young Pianist Encouraged. Miss Maude Arlene Robinson, who recently gave her initial piano recital at Brooklyn, is a most promising young musician. She was assisted by Mme. M. C. Copeland. A large number of Miss Robinson's immediate friends were present and gave her royal encouragement. Judge—Is that your real name? Prisoner (who has been up before)—No, yer honor it's my "pen" name.

Cole and Johnson, the clever, popular song writers, who this season are starring in their musical comedy, "The Red Moon," have by their individual efforts and hard work gained for themselves enviable positions, and their talents have secured the guidance of the most notable of managements providing entertainment for the greater majority of theater goers. All of their work is accomplished along well thought out lines, and their simplest songs are the outcome of persistent research along all lines upon which the subject may have to deal. In the composition of "Under the Bamboo Tree," possibly the most notable and farreaching song success of recent years, Cole was positive in the telling of the story in the first verse of the song that there existed a place known as Atubulu, on the great African continent, and Johnson had also exhausted all possible material in which the old plantation melodies were presented. During their tour to the Pacific coast, while engaged in vaudeville, they elected to return to the east via the southern route and traverse the great American desert. An opportunity was offered them to visit the United States Indian reservation upon which the once fierce and intrepid Apaches live. The famous Apache chief Geronimo, the prisoner of the government, who, with his followers, so long withstood and evaded United States troops under General Miles, lived on this reservation. The great chief was nearly eighty years old then, but bore himself with the erectness of a young warrior. Among his people he was famed as chief and holy man. Cole and Johnson, whose work was known to the teacher of the little Indian school of the reservation, were invited to sing for the papooses, a request which they gladly acceded to. After the visit to the school Johnson joined the regimental band, which was rehearsing at the barracks for a musical afternoon. With the teacher of the little school as a guide and interpreter, Cole mingled among the Indians, being presented to the great chief Geronimo. The incidents of this short visit impressed themselves greatly upon Mr. Bob Cole, who in a few days had finished the lyric of the big Indian song success, "Big Chief." The larger and more fitting expression of the visit to the reservation is made in their latest musical comedy, "The Red Moon," which contrasts the joyous humor of the Negro with the stoic bearing of the Indian, the pleasing and mellow harmony of Negro music with the weird and primitive note of the aboriginal American. Cole greatly appreciates the audience he had with Geronimo. They left for Monterey after the visit to the reservation, and the singular beauty and unique picturesqueness of the little Mexican town served as a subject of one of "The Red Moon's" most pleasing and beautiful song numbers. Choir Entertains Orange Y. M. C. A. The choir of the Lafayette Presbyterian church at Jersey City, N. J., entertained the Young Men's Christian association of Orange, N. J., at Columbus hall, Jersey city, recently. Music was given under the direction of Counselor Eugene R. Hayne. The literary program was of a thoughtful nature. The social features closed with a royal collation, which was enjoyed by the visitors from the Oranges.

Before the civil war, when there were comparatively few Afro-American churches in Boston, it was the custom in some of the white Protestant churches to set apart in a remote corner of the gallery pews for colored people who cared to worship with their white brethren and sisters, notwithstanding a Negro church had been established at Boston since 1796. This custom, however, of setting apart a jimcrow pew in a Christian church aroused the opposition of the abolitionists, one of whom wrote a spirited little book against this practice. It was entitled "The 'Negro Pew,' Being an Inquiry Concerning the Propriety of Distinctions In the House of God on Account of Color." It was published without the author's name by Isaac Knapp, at 25 Cornhill, in 1837. Without doubt reasons of prudence caused the writer to withhold his name, because the slavery question was already acute at Boston. "Suppose," says the author, "a church should set apart a seat for red headed people. Would a red haired man or woman ever be found in that church? Or suppose there should be a pew for the exclusive use of the humpbacked. Would it ever be occupied? "No man would be willing that his constitutional peculiarities, which God gave him, should exclude him from equal privileges in the house of God. It therefore follows that no one ought to desire any of his fellow beings to be subject to such exclusion for a similar cause. "The real cause of prejudice, however, is not color, but the caste feeling." He called the fear of amalgamation a scarecrow and said that the mingling of the races was going on all the time, even at the north, and that in the south it had made rapid strides. He gave this illustration: "A young physician went to the south, where he became acquainted with a worthy young woman, who was at service, without having the slightest suspicion that there was a drop of African blood in her veins. They were married and had lived happily together for some time when a gentleman called, took the husband aside and informed him that the woman was his property. The astonished husband was obliged either to pay the man his price for his own wife or have her exposed at public sale. He chose the former. On informing his wife of the circumstances she remarked, with tears, that she had supposed the gentleman, seeing her well provided for, would not molest her, especially as he was her own father." sadie—say, nonest now, do you like Maggie?

Church financiers, representing all of the episcopal districts of the A. M. E. church, met recently at the well appointed banking house of the denomination on Fourteenth street, Washington THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Dr. John Hurst, the financial secretary, made his maiden report to the board, which proved to be a record breaker. A cash balance of over $25,000 was reported. The aggregate col- A. B. BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON. sections have passed $3,000,000, and the "dollar money" fund is up in the hundred thousands. Bishop E. W. Lampton, who preceded Dr. Hurst in the office of financial secretary, was one of the most interesting personalities, from a Washington viewpoint, present during the meeting. Bishop Lampton resided at Washington for seven years, and this is his first visit to this city since he assumed his episcopal duties. He is still called the "great financier" of the church, for it was during his administration that the financial department took on new life. His systematic methods as well as his sterling honesty brought the finances of his church into repute and made its paper acceptable as gilt edge security in any of the big banking houses of the United States. He is making a splendid bishop, and that in spite of the fact that he is the youngest one of the superintendents of that great church. Asked about political conditions in Mississippi, which is his home, and, in fact, throughout the south, where his work is, the bishop said: "I am not a politician and therefore I cannot give you a survey of political conditions in the southland. However, like all true lovers of my race, I am deeply interested in their political as well as their religious welfare. You may say, however, that I content myself by giving religious advice in political matters." Now a Colonial Dame. Mrs. William Howard Taft has been elected a member of a Connecticut society of the Colonial Dames of America, because of her descent from Gov. Welles, one of the early governors of the state. Her mother was Harriet Collins, whose maternal grandfather graduated from Yale in 1786. His wife was Charity Welles, descended from the governor. Well-Trained Memory. "I do not recall anything on that point," said the witness. "Oh, you don't?" sneered the lawyer. "You'd better take memory lessons." "Excuse me," rejoined the witness suavely, "but my memory has been trained by one of the highest-priced lawyers in the business."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Fargo, North Dakota, once boasted a composite postmaster and coroner. He was called one day to give his verdict upon the case of a stranger who had been the victim of a fit on the main street. As the man was known to nobody, he was hurried to the much-prized new "City Hospital." There the case was diagnosed as appendicitis, but when the operation took place the attending surgeon discovered that the patient had been previously relieved of his appendix. The doctor endeavored to retract his steps, but the strange man died from the effects of the operation. The postmaster-coroner, in rendering his verdict, filled in the space after "Cause of Death" with a rubber stamp which read: "Opened by mistake."—Success Magazine. As to Humility. Philosophers have quarreled over the question of humility, whether or not it is a virtue. Since humility is so rare it would seem scarcely to be worth discussion. It is said that Epictetus in five places preaches humility: "If thou passest for a person of consequence in the opinion of some people, distrust thyself. No lifting up of the eyebrows. Be nothing in thine own eyes—if thou seekest to please thou art lost. Give place to all men; prefer them to thyself; asist them all." Theologians have contended that humility cost nothing to Epictetus, who was a slave. He was humble by station as the learned scholar might be proud by station. Voltaire calls humility "the modesty of the soul." These gentlemen did not live in the twentieth century. Airships and the Smugglers. While congress committees are wrestling with important schedules Maj. Laden-Powell projects the interesting theory that with the perfection of aerial transport the protection nations of the world will be faced with the necessity of adopting free trade. They will be unable to police the air and the terrestrial interior effectively enough to prevent the wholesale smuggling of the less bulky articles of commerce. An a ship can cross international boundaries unseen and land a cargo of dutiful goods in a spot the customs officers cannot protect. Consequently, in the view of this expert, all duties will have to be abolished. Bishop Hartzell Meets President. Bishop J. C. Hartzell, in charge of the missionary work of the Methodist church in Africa, recently had a talk with the president regarding the work to be done by the Liberian commission. The commission consisted of R. C. Ogden of New York, who recently resigned; Emmett J. Scott, private secretary to Booker T. Washington at Tuskogee, and W. Morgan Schuster of the District of Columbia. Booker T. Washington was in conference with the president, but did not recommend anyone for Mr. Ogden's place. Foolish Rules for Museum. In the early days of the British museum a century or more ago the place was open for only six hours daily on five days a week in the summer and four hours daily during the rest of the year. Nobody could remain in the building for more than two consecutive hours, and the number admissible at one time was strictly limited to 15. Each batch of visitors was shepherded by an attendant.

THE S.ATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. BAPTISM AT SHORTER. Sunday afternoon was a big time in Shorter church. A baptismal sermon was preached by Rev. W. C. Williams to a thronged church, and after it Rev. Ward took thirty odd candidates through the holy waters of baptism. The audience on this occasion was so large that many made the best of it by taking seats in the basement and there awaiting the conclusion of the ceremonies. Sunday will be educational day in the African Methodist churches of the Fifth District. It will be one of the biggest in the year's calendar. At Shorter the choir will present special music which together with a paper by Mrs. Thomas Campbell and another by Jasper Childress on the Literature of the Race, will make an evening of special interest and profit. It is very unusual when one man can put himself in so many positions a sto have seven services in one day. This is Rev. Ward's record at Shorter, Sunday: Sunday School, preaching service, two funerals, baptismal service, Christian Endeavor, Brotherhood, evening preaching and sacramental service. This is an enviable record Shorter is making under Rev. A. M. Ward and his congregations appreciate his efforts. CHORAL CLUB NOTES. Miss Dulcina Pierce-Perry of Portland, Ore., writes her friends she is taking a special course in millinery, domestic science and basketting in the Y. W. C. A. (white) in that city. She is the only person of color taking such a course. She also sends greetings to the Azalia Hackley Choral club. Mme. Azalia Hackley wrote a very sweet letter to the club from Paris and informed the club she would start for home today. She has been quite a sufferer in health since she has been over there. REV. D. E. OVERS PAINTS STRONG RELIGIOUS PICTURE AT ZION, SUNDAY NIGHT. Luke the 9th Chapter and 51 verse, was the text of Rev. Overs Sunday night at Zion Baptist Church. "And He steadfastly went up." Taking Christ from his baptism and tracing his life through his missionary journeys with his many attending miracles and bringing Him down and through those stirring and exciting scenes from Calvary to the cross, the many lights and shades of the "garden," the Lord's Supper, the approaching of the traitorous band, with Judas, the trials, the verdict, the march to Golgotha with the cross, the physical collapse of Jesus, and the assistance of the Ethiopian, the awful hideous and hearttrending, nailing and pinning Jesus to the cross, His Death and Resurrection, which the congregation came to celebrate Sunday night. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to express our gratitude and thanks to those who extended their kindness and sympathy during the late illness and death of our beloved son and brother and grandson, Edgar Verne Norris. To Allen's C. E. League and Class No. 7, and to those who officiated at the church and burial and for the floral offerings we extend especial thanks.

Association For the Protection of Working Girls and Women at New York Shows Good Results—No Color Line Drawn. The annual report of the White Rose Working Girls' home, at 217 East Eighty-sixth street, New York city, of which Mrs. Frances R. Keyser is the superintendent, contains much valuable information. The object, aims and needs of the home are set forth in a general statement, in part as follows: "In old times the Negro servant did the work and did it well. Now the tide of immigrants, who average no better as skilled domestics, has risen so high as to swamp them. Mistresses who once lived in houses of their own and employed two or three servants now live in an apartment with one. Of that one complaints are made about inefficiency and extortionate wages. Foreigners who have to be told the English for potato and teakettle and leave as soon as they have learned it are at least as much trouble to teach as the average colored girl. The good colored girls, and they are to be had, are more likely to be faithful, and, if treated fairly, can be counted on to stay in their places. "The lack of good places for the girls is as great as the lack of efficient girls for the places. Many of the girls from the south certainly are ignorant, but they are teachable and ambitious and can learn soon that to succeed they must do as well or better than their white competitors. There are those who have been well trained at the south, keeping up the traditions among good families. These easily learn the requirements of northern homes. The untrained ones come north, as a foreigner comes to the United States, with grand ideas of pay and small ideas of work. But the colored girl is handicapped by social disadvantages and learns her hard lessons in ways disastrous to herself. Poor lodgings, or none at all accessible in an emergency, plus higher prices for worse housing, make doubly hard and lonely her start in a strange city. "Here is a field for social help that would yield large returns-better service, better servants, better women. The White Rose Industrial association includes both white and colored members, and the same is true of its board of directors. Its aim is the protection of colored working girls and the procuring of proper lodging houses where they may be safe and may be trained. "Conditions in other cities have been looked into by the National Society For the Protection of Colored Women, aiming to make a general effort on these lines effective in the end. Results already show how great is the need of such lodging houses as the one provided by the White Rose Industrial association. "There must also be an agent to meet the traveling girls. The association takes charge of them at the Old Dominion dock and is helped by the authorities and police there, who will always turn over unprotected ones to the agent when they fall into bad hands on leaving the pier. Without this co-operation it would not be possi- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ble to do efficient work. Many times special messages have been sent to the home, and the association has reason to be proud of the confidence and respect with which its agent is treated. "The White Rose Industrial association for three years has supported an agent in Norfolk, Va., but has not yet been able to start a lodging house there, the agent having taken the most needy ones into her own small dwelling for shelter overnight or longer. Fifteen dollars a month would pay rent for a small house to start a lodging place until it could be supported, as it should be, by Norfolk itself. "In the last ten months prior to December out of 1,213 travelers addressed by the White Rose agent at that port alone nearly 300 were helped or cared for. The home in New York in 1907-8 sheltered 304 girls and women who would otherwise have suffered physically and morally. "Classes and reasonable social meetings and privileges are open to the lodgers. Their numbers are increased by working girls living in town when changing places, resting for awhile or on their afternoons out. They can meet their friends and always find a welcome. "Experience has proved that the site at 217 East Eighty-sixth street is a fortunate one. The quiet neighborhood is an advantage. We have passed through the period of rubbish and bad language thrown over the fence and have less fear in letting the children play in the good sized back yard. Neighbors now understand we are respectable and mean to help others to be so. "The great difficulty of hiring quarters for colored people in a decent neighborhood makes this small house a prize, but more room is needed. In the busy season all the fourteen beds are in use, and the pressure is beyond the means and accommodations of the home. "It is to be hoped that the work will not be allowed to suffer for lack of funds." 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. While aunce arranged the panty shelves her little niece handled the spice boxes and called each spice by name. Presently she said, "Auntie, I can read." "Can you, dear?" answered auntie. "Yes, auntie," came the reply, "but I don't read like you do. I read by the smell."—Delineator. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. Mrs. J. R. Hallowell, Mgr. 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. MRS. A. M.

The deliberate sacrifice of one's chances for material betterment is tragic. When it happens in the case of a negro, one who is already marked by racial peculiarities from the rest of Americans, and one whose personal shortcomings count against us all as well as against himself, the matter is too grave to be passed over. Yet this is just what members of our race are doing daily. Occasionally some flagrant case of general worthlessness attracts public attention and arouses comment, but steadily a certain per cent of us are contributing to our own downfall and incidentally bringing the whole race down with us. The fault lies in wrong ideals. It is strange but it is true, that many pride themselves on the looseness of their morality, on the wasting of their money, and on the smallest possible part of their time that they give to work. The community is too tolerant of this attitude. The downright criminal does us less damage. He is in a class apart and nothing is expected of him. But the Negro who goes to his work drunk, or lays off to frolic, signalizes his presence at picnics with fighting belongs outside the pale of good opinion. When he gets sufficiently insistent upon being noticed he belongs in jail, and it is the part of good citizenship to see that he goes there rather than have the community injured by his behavior. In discussing this matter we are not making much ado about nothing, but are sounding the warning. Unless we mend our ways, our industrial opportunity is at an end. COULD NOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION. The League Journal, published at New Rochelle, N. Y., is one of the late comers to our desk. It possesses interest for us for two reasons. One is that it is the organ of a business league that does something besides talk and issue pronunciamentos for political effect. This one deals in real estate, and has houses of its own. Wonderful! This one peculiarity of the New Rochelle Folk makes the Journal noteworthy if for no other reason. Consider, then, how much we are interested in its welfare with the addition of our old friend, J. E. Bruce, "Bruce Grit," as its editor. He has just severed his connection with one newspaper, the Yonkers Standard, and here he is with another. We sincerely hope that the change is for the better, and whether it is or not is distinctly for the better of the race that he has decided to remain and fight the battle out with the weapons he knows so well how to use. Good Luck, old friend! FOR RENT—Furnished rooms in modern house at 2508 Tremont Place, Mrs. Clinkscale. WANTED—A girl to assist in general housework at 914 Ogden street. PAGE. 8.

The Ladies' Aid Society will give a chili and ice cream entertainment, Saturday night, at the residence of Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale, 2508 Tremont street. You are cordially invited to attend this entertainment and thus help a good cause. Mr. Clarence Collier is wearing a smile that won't come off. He is the proud father of a fine girl. Mother and babe are doing well. The choir will soon begin to practice a drama to be rendered in the near future. This effort will be for the benefit of this organization to purchase new song books. Mrs. Dora E. Wallace is president; Mr. J. D. Rice, choirister; Miss Lelia Rice, organist. The Epworth League will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the organization May 16th. A program will be rendered. Mr. Cornelius Rice is slowly recovering from a recent illness that was thought to be a slight billious attack. A Grand Mid-Summer Fair will be given by the Ladies' Aid Society, July 17th and 18th. The ladies have already begun to solicit wearing apparel to be made up and sold at this fair. Mrs. Clinkscale is the energetic president. Mrs. Anna McPherson served the Ladies' Aid with light refreshments last Thurslast Thursday. Several visitors were present and enjoyed the proceedings. This is one of the most enthusiastic organizations in the church. Mr. G. W. Anderson, the former Superintendent of the Sunday School, conducted the Sunday School in the absence of Mr. Rice, who was called to be a pall-bearer at the funeral of his recent friend, Mr. Norris. The pastor and his family were entertained at dinner at the beautiful and spacious home of Mrs. Jennie Jacobs on Lafayette street, last Sunday. They enjoyed themselves immensely and request that they do that again. The Sunday School has raised $18 already for missions. This is the best record in the history of the church. The first Sunday in each month is Missionary Day. Mrs. Anna Cox is out again circulating among her many friends after a brief illness. Mrs. Mary Evans will lead the Epworth League next Sunday. Topic for discussion: "Making a Guest of Christ," Mark 2. 14-17; Matt. 9, 9-13; Luke 5, 28, 29. These meetings are growing in interest. Why help pay big rent?

Guided by their experience we have every hope of a successful outcome of the work in this city once we get it properly organized and established. Our young people are the hope of the race. Will you give your moral support and your money to help improve their condition? Is it worth ten dollars to you, or even one dollar, to have young Negroes better men, better workers, better thinkers, and better wage-earners? We are sure that you realize that our interests are so bound together that the failure of one raises higher the barrier to others. You know this from your own experience. Then be persuaded by the same reasoning that the better each one does, the better you yourself can do. Now, do not agree with us merely and stop! Make sacrifice! Give money! Persuade your friends to help us! The race question will be solved only when each individual contributes to its solution. The dollar you give to this cause will return a hundred fold. You know we are losing ground industrially under present conditions. Will you give of your means to help us help you? Fill out a pledge! Make it for every dollar you can spare! Don't wish us well, but give something and watch this grand work go on! Yours for the race.
