ANOTHER ARTIST PROVES DENVER'S LOVE OF MUSIC TWENTIETH YEAR ANOTHER DENVE MISS MOORE CHARMS DENVER- TALENTED MUSICIAN MAKES DEEP IMPRESSION-CHORAL CLUB DOES NICELY-THE HOUSE WAS JAMMED. The negro race has earned the reputation of being gifted musicians and many are not inclined to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. From the old plantation melodies the race has steadily sung and placed its way into the leading conservatories of music in the United States and in Europe. The old-time melodies were born of meditation while the race was passing through great affliction and severe trials in bondage. They knew no scales nor time nor harmony, only as their souls suggested. They caught their times in the air as they looked heavenward, prayed to God and longed for deliverance. What a change time has wrought! The banjo and fiddle of a few strings together with the jew's-harp have been supplanted by the violin, piano and or women have been graduated from gan. Many of our young men and some of the best colleges of music in America, while some have gained and are steadily gaining distinction abroad. A youngest violin artist today of our race is a young lady of 18 years in the person of Miss Virginia Moore of Oakland, Cal., who appeared at Shorter A. M. E. church Monday night to a packed house. It is a long range from slavery's period to Miss Moore who, so expertly and in such excellent manner, played selections from "Legende," Spanish Tonge,"Sonata G Major" and "Concerto G Minor." Think of it, only 18 years of age with but seven years of violin playing! She is in a class by herself. Her playing carries with it such a high recommendation that what little which can be said here will add nothing to her already national wide fame. It may be interesting to know that Miss Moore was born in Oakland in October, 1890, and while in her junior years, the doctor recommended, owing to impairing of her health, that she either give up music or her high school work. So she chose the latter, only to return in school next year and finish her literary education. Then she expects to spend two years in music in the Oakland Conservatory, after which time she will go to New York City for the completion and further development of her art. Mme. Hackley met Miss Moore when the doctor made this recommendation and Mme. Hackley invited her to her national musical convention at Philadelphia from which --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 15 1909 CHORUS "Gloria".....

Young Brooklyn Woman Who Won Teachership by Hard Study. One of the most encouraging signs of the educational progress which is being made by young Afro-Americans in Greater New York is found in the fact that a larger number of them are to be found on the records who have passed satisfactory examinations for public school teachers, clerks and stenographers, positions in the postal service and other municipal positions than has been the case in former years. Our young women have taken on new inspiration and seem determined to overcome those difficulties which formerly kept back many from reaching the goal of their ambition. They are learning the lessons of self reliance and persistence, by which alone they may hope to succeed. A young woman in Brooklyn who is making good use of these essential qualities is Miss Amelia Howard, who graduated from the girls' high school in 1907 with honors in English, mathematics and 4 physical geography. Miss Howard afterward entered the Brooklyn Training School For Teachers, in which she displayed rare ability as a student in mastering the principles of teaching. Feeling confident that she was prepared for the work to which she had set her mind, she entered the teachers' examination, which she passed successfully and has recently been appointed as one of the teachers in public school No. 149, being the only Afro-American teacher in that school. Miss Howard's success has greatly encour- Howard Extends Medical Course Improvements in Medical Department of Howard University, Washington, Offer Superior AdvantagesFor the Study and Practice of Medicine. No department of Howard university at Washington has made greater progress than the school of medicine. It was established in 1868 as an outcome of the determined stand taken by General O. O. Howard, Dr. Robert Reyburn and other sturdy pioneers that the colored people of the United States might have trained men in the healing art and that ample facilities should be provided to demonstrate what the race could accomplish along higher professional lines. Though designed primarily for the benefit of the Negro, no restriction is made on account of color. The advantages of the school are open to all races, and its liberal policy has proved helpful to white and black allke. To date the medical department has graduated 1,108 students-viz, 778 medical, 142 dental and 188 pharmaceutic. The sessions have gradually been lengthened until they now run to June 1, and the course of study has been increased from two to four years. The enrollment for the present year is over 400. Ever abreast with the increasing demand for thoroughness of preparation for the exacting obligations that the modern physician must meet, Howard university not only offers regular courses in medicine and dentistry, but has organized a postgraduate school and polyclinic which affords an opportunity for advanced instruction in these branches for both those who have completed the prescribed course and for the general practitioners of standing from the outside, who find that they are better able to keep in touch with the latest developments in medicine, surgery, dentistry, pharmacy and the allied sciences by spending a few weeks each year in a well appointed school for this purpose. The two exceedingly prosperous sessions held so far indicate that the value of such a movement is appreciated by the profession, and its permanency is therefore assured. Announcement is now made that the third session of this highly useful branch of the medical department of Howard university is to begin on Monday, May 10, and to continue six weeks for the medical course and four weeks for the dental course. The forthcoming session bids fair to outstrip those of previous years both in attendance and in the benefits, because of the wider reputation the school has gained and by reason of the completion of the new and magnificent $500,000 Freedmen's hospital, which will be utilized as the seat of the important clinical and laboratory work. Eminent authorities have pronounced this hospital to be the most thoroughly equipped institution of its kind in the United States, and they assert without reservation that, by virtue of the peculiarly favorable environment in which it is situated, its facilities for clinical demonstration are unsurpassed. Two hundreds persons are easily accommodated. The interior wards and dispensary for outdoor pa- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. tients being constantly full, ample material is always at hand for practice and observation of the most varied and profitable character. The report of the hospital for the year ending June 30, 1908, shows the care of 2,588 inpatients, 5,019 out-patients, 1,003 surgical operations and 235 births, evidencing by such a record the wide scope of its activities and the unlimited opportunities for experience which it affords. The special course arranged for the postgraduate school of medicine will embrace surgery, gynecology, bacteriology, pathology, clinical medicine, physical diagnosis, mental and nervous diseases, ophthalmology, physical therapeutics, including electro-therapeutics, X ray work, Flusen light and other essential branches. The special course in dentistry will consist of the latest approved methods in operative and prosthetic dentistry and its various ramifications, with particular attention to anatomical articulation and artistic arrangement of false teeth, color blending, etc. The school is fortunate in being located in Washington, amid congenial surroundings and among citizens who are heartily in sympathy with all who aspire to usefulness. The superior advantage of going to a school of this kind at the national capital lies largely in the fact that there are open to the students a number of scientific libraries and museums such as can be found in no other city in the United States. In the surgeon general's office there are over 150,000 works on medicine and collateral sciences. The library of congress, containing 800,000 books, many of which are medical; the well stocked patent office library and the Carniegie Public library are likewise available to the students. The Army Medical museum, the finest of its kind in the world, showing 25,000 surgical and anatomical specimens; the National museum and Smithsonian institution, with their immense collections illustrating the natural sciences, materia medica, etc., and the Museum of Hygiene are a few of the many places where priceless technical information may be had without cost to the students.

New Secret Order In New York, Based on African Ideals, Seeks to Federate Negroes Into One Great Fraternal Union. By JOHN EDWARD "BRUCE GRIT." There has recently come into existence a new Negro fraternal order called the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere, incorporated under the laws of the state of New York. The name is significant, and it is also expressive of the feelings of its founders. The prophet Isaiah, xiii, 14, in picturing the condition of Babylon, which had been threatened with destruction because of its wickedness, said: "It shall be as the chased roe and as a sheep that no man taketh up. They shall every man turn to his own people and flee every one into his own land." What could be a more appropriate name, then, for a Negro fraternal order than that of the beautiful and gentle roe, always an object of special fondness in ancient times and even to this day spoken of in terms of endearment in the east—the meek, black eyed, loved and lovable gazelle? That Negroes should select the name of this animal for a great fraternal and benevolent order is significant and full of meaning. Among the higher order of animals the Negro is the "chased roe" of modern times and "the sheep that no man taketh up." He is just now beginning to "turn to his own people and flee every one into his own land." The Roebucks owe their origin chiefly to Mr. William Preston Moore of Brooklyn, who was imbued with the idea two years ago that Negroes might better employ their intellect and talents in originating and constructing a great Negro fraternal order of their own which would not suffer by comparison with any organization of white men. This has been accomplished, and the basis of the organization is the roebuck of antiquity, variously called the fallow deer, roe and gazelle, characterized by its beauty, gentleness and loving disposition. Love, charity, gentueness, beauty or fire and character—these are the fundamentals of Roebuckism. Love to God, love to fellow man (which, broadly interpreted, means charity), gentleness of manner and the cultivation of beautiful lives and characters—these are the chief claims of the Roebucks of America and Elsewhere. They are claims that ought to appeal to Negroes everywhere and impel them to investigate this unique order, which is striving to weld together the Negroes of the United States, Africa, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Cuba, Porto Rico, Australia, Canada, South America, Central America and the West India islands into one compact brotherhood, each for the other and God for all. The coming of the Roebucks at this critical period in the history of the Negro in America is significant as showing the desire of thoughtful and progressive Negroes to delve into these African mysteries and problems and evolve from them an original Negro fraternity. The mission of the Roebucks therefore is to originate, not to imitate. It is an order based on African ideals, history, philosophy and science. Africans, were once the school- PAGE. 10. masters of the world, born to seniorship, and the Greeks and Romans of old time journeyed into Africa annually to sit at the feet of its black philosophers and drink in wisdom. The descendants of these blacks scattered in every habitable part of the globe are the residuary legatees of this wisdom and learning, burled in Africa's sands, graven on her imposing monuments and temples and reposing in the tombs of her mighty rulers. The mission of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere is, first, emancipation from fraternal slavery; second, organization; third, co-operation; fourth, the vindication of the color and character of the Negro; fifth, the consolidation of intelligent Negroes throughout the world into one mighty racial fraternal brotherhood, the basic principles of which are love to God and fellow man, gentleness of manner and beauty of character. The lack of manhood on the part of so many of the would be leaders has always been a great stumbling block in the way of the race.—Boston Guardian. Sunday Schools to Meet at Boston.

Walker company, No. 17, Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere gave their seventh annual minstrel show recently at Potter's theater, Huntington avenue, Boston. It was under the personal direction of Captain P. F. Marshall. The theater was packed to the doors. No time or expense was spared to make the entertainment a success in every respect. The result was the best show yet produced by the company. It opened in the form of a minstrel college interspersed with catchy comic jokes, popular songs well sung and good dancing. The college was arranged and opened by Captain P. F. Marshall, who as college professor wielded the baton of authority over Robert Stewart, C. W. Jones, C. W. Smith, L. M. Fernandez, Joseph Henderson and J. Hathaway, who were the mischievous students. The cadets were S. Clark, S. Bryant, A. V. Nelson, W. S. Speed, B. N. King, J. S. Price, W. McGee, L. Cruz, E. L. Thomas, J. Finnie, B. J. Jackson, S. Clark and J. Burk, who kept the vast crowd in good cheer throughout the program. The ollo included some fine work by Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Marshall in their sketch. Mr. Marshall made a decided hit in his impersonation of a female in a sheath gown. Mrs. Marshall also took the house by storm in her elocation work. The others in the ollo was a sketch by Messrs. J. Henderson and Clark, J. Hathaway and Louden. Another hit was the cakewalk. Those who impersonated in the cakewalk as females were J. Finnie, C. W. Lewis and W. S. Smith. The show came to a close with a splendid drill by a squad of Walker company, No. 17, after which there was a dance in Howe hall up over the theater. Mr. C. W. Lewis as floor director was assisted by J. S. Price and S. Bysant. At every other dance moving pictures were shown on a large canvas arranged especially for the occasion, and they were very pretty.

On last Sunday the Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth of the city were out in large numbers to their annual sermon which was preached at Zion Baptist church by Rey. Over. They formed at their halls and under the escort of the patriarch and led by the Boys’ Band marched through the downtown streets to the church. A program of considerable length pre- ceded the sermon, participated in by the choir of the church, Mrs. Francis Holley, S. A. Langston who served in place of Dr. Faulkner, who was ill. D. H. Williams was master of cere- monies and P. W. Walker chairman on this occasion. Rey. Over preached a deep sermon, his thought crystalizing around the duty of fraternities to the whole of mankind and exhorted his hearers to be like the great Odd Fellow, the Savior of Mankind, who suffered that all men might be better and do better. He held up to socrn the foibles of brotherly love that is circumscribed about by obligation and extolled the broad fraternity in which all men are brothers or at least deserving of the brotherly solicitude of those able to help them. His remarks were forci- bly put and received with profound appreciation both by the order and the congregation. A charitable offer- ing was then taken and the services concluded. NEW CHURCH IN WALSENBURG. Says the Walsenburg World: “The colored population of Walsen- burg and camps are trying to raise money to build them a church edifice. They have bought a number of lots in Block 34, Capital Hill townsite. This is just outside the present town limits, but is at the same time a most convenient spot, being about in the center of the colored population of the town and Walsen camp. The A. M. E. solicitors are carrying with them appeals to all classes of citi- zens.” The officers of the church are: A. J. Steele, L. M. Willis, John Pulley, L. L. Lawrence and Moses Dunce, trustees.

Even the members of other churches were seen in the audience enjoying the intellectual and musical treats. The history of education in all the principal schools in the A. M. E, con- nection was taken up, discussed at length in an article read by A. Way- man Ward. The growth along educa- tional lines, the many sacrifices and the good that is being done by the church in the way investing money in character was skown to have repaid itself many times and is still giving a dividend. Then Western University’s history was taken up and after many obstacles were surmounted and many ravines of discouragement and inac- tivity were passed through, Bishop A. Grant was shown to be the “real man of the hour;” to be responsible for THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. putting the school upon its present foundation. The Western States have | progressed and have constantly felt ‘the influence of Western University peuudents and graduates. Every year turns out more students to take up the problems of life and humanity and help solve them. Especially has Western University influenced Colo- rado in general and Denver in partic- ular, because Clyde O. Andrews ot “Denver's Own,” has shown himself a musician and a composer by hav- ing attended the University and now Geo. Williams, the present Secretary of the school, is a Denver boy, whose example is a daily argument to the young men and women and together to their parents, that what one can do their sons o rdaughters can do by the Same means. Western University was spoken of Sunday night and some facts brought out that have hitherto been unknown to the masses of the people. Mrs. Campbell, a producc ot Wilberforce University, read the best and strongest paper on “Education” that has ever been delivered in Short- er. She shows intelligence which was ripened and rounded out by her experience as a teacher and a member of the faculty. Her paper was grand and had the hearty approval of even the seemingly dull of the congrega- tion. The choir's musical program was rendered in a better way and with greater amount of improvement than has been hitherto witnessed. She is getting back to her old place in the musical world in Denver. There seemed to be more harmony, the at- tacks were more even and the expres- sions were very effective. Father Turner closed the meeting.

For the past two weeks gossip has been gorging itself on the supposed happenings connected with one of the postoffice clerks. The studious endeavor of the postoffice authorities and of the city police to find some tangible evidence leading to the confirmation that there had been wrong doing, to say nothing of the apprehension of the guilty person, have failed utterly, and so far as anything goes to show up to this time, the whole story is pure fabrication. Speaking of its, the Highland Chief, a white paper on the North Side, hits the nail on the head when it says: There is a most slanderous and calumnious rumor floating about the city connecting with it a letter carrier or a postoffice clerk in one or any of the stations where the race indicated by the slander could allow it to fall. It is most outrageous and damnable. It has no foundation for existence in Denver. It comes as a thief in the night and lights indiscriminately upon those whose ancestors make them eligible to fit the dirty story which is as old as the hills. It is making bitter the minds of several good men and breaking the hearts of as many good women. It damns the ones who tea it, and degrades those who listen. To steal a purse takes that which can be repaid by time and industry, but what time can return a ruined reputation? What power can blanch a tarnished name? Calumnious slander is a reptile ever on the watch; it has no enjoyment except in crime, no pray but virtue; from the fascination of its eye no activity can escape; from the venom of its fangs no saint can recover; it is without remedy, without antidote, without evasion. In the name of decency, let-good men and women say "shut up" to those human maggots whose sweetest morsel is villainous slander. OPPORTUNITY IS PASSING QUICKLY. Negro preachers and teachers, leaders of all kinds, keep harping on the necessity of getting land. Possession of the soil is certainly necessary to our maintenance of citizenship rights. Note then how white Americans in the past few days are availing themselves of one right to homestead land here in this state under the amended homestead law whereby 320 acres now constitute a homesteader's tract, where only 160 used to be. So long as members of the race refuse to avail themselves of their right to get land for practically nothing, we doubt their buying it. Heaven has surely cursed us with its bitterest curse. With opportunity on every hand, we refuse it, but set out to chase the sunbeams or to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. By no means do we mean to discourage buyers by these remarks, but we do feel that it is hopeless to look for betterment of conditions where we refuse the obvious helps and seek the difficult. STRIKE AT THE DENVER CLUB On last Saturday a strike occurred at the Denver Club whereby that institution for a while was deprived of the services of all of its hall men except the chief, Jesse Wilson. The occasion of the walkout was the employment of a Japanese in the Palm Garden. It seems that a new secretary has been employed in the club and his insistence on the employment of Japanese brought on the crisis at this time. By some twist of reasoning or for personal spite this secretary accused Mr. Wilson of being the cause of the strike. At any rate he is no longer employed at the club since the incident. The walking out of negroes is so uncommon that this THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. occurrence at the club will undoubtedly bring on a chain of circumstances, the outcome of which no one can foresee. The question of wages or hours did not enter in, so we are informed, but only that of the employment of the Japanese where negroes had been used. When seen, Mr. Wilson disclaimed responsibility for the disturbed conditions and ascribed them to prejudice on the part of the new secretary.

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.

POLK AT ALLIANCE—WOMAN'S DAY—MANY SPEAK—ORCHESTRA SUNDAY. While there were many inconveniences at the Alliance and while the audience had to wait for one of the main speakers, yet Denver is so blessed that she can fill out a program from the audience. Mrs. Branch told of the "Motherhood" in Africa among the seemingly unenlightened natives, while Dr. Ranholph spoke on "Mothers," also. Mrs. A. L. Froman, the temporary presiding officer, made an announcement that the different clubs of the city had decided to have a Y. W. C. A. home, with a day nursery thereto attached. Mrs. Harry Polk entertained the Alliance with an address, "Liberty and Woman." She said in part: "The subject, 'Woman and Liberty,' can no longer be treated lightly or dismissed from memory as being ridiculous, for we, as women of the 20th Century absolutely refuse to stand in the background of national progress, as man's silent partner. Cases of necessity so often call us forth to make our own way in the world. Where would we be had we no idea of our political rights? Our many talents are ample proofs of our ability to be man's acknowledged partner. The women of today have grown out of the traditional inequalities and disabilities of the sex and their chances in all departments of industrial and professional life are as fully open to the feminine as to the masculine talents. The rising man of to-day is approximately a woman suited to his present necessities; he seeks progressive companionship, not adoration. Women for ages have pressed forward to the front in questions involving morals such as the anti-slavery and prohibition movement. You all know the arrangement o f the big bosses and the big corporations would be upset should women universally be admitted to the polls. The greatest obstacle ahead of this movement is the apathy of women themselves. Some say that the trained and specialized knowledge that is required to govern the nation can only be acquired by men alone. Some are indifferent and others form associations to oppose it. Many will neither indorse nor oppose the suffrage. Long ago have they learned the persistent and stubborn nature of the female sex. If they had come forth in the beginning and said in the Constitution of the United States and in the Declaration of Independence, 'no suffrage to women,' ere now every State in the Union would have adopted woman's suffrage. "Women now hold complete suffrage in three Scandinavian countries: Norway, Sweden and Finland; the British colonies of Australia and New Zealand; the American states have Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Washington and Utah. Women seek not liberty for notoriety but for moral causes, as was shown in the lines of Anna Shaw and Francis Willard and Harriet Beecher Stowe. She thinks of the babe in her arms, while the father is sleeping and wonders how I can place my child upon a firm moral and social life. Think back to the days of your childhood, could you have become learned men and women had not a mother toiled to send you through school and then patiently labored to have you came forth before the world as a proud college graduate? We, in the woods say as did once Patrick Henry concerning liberty, 'Give us Liberty, or Give us Death.' When we find broad-minded women enough, whose hearts are in full sympathy with every good cause; when the women begin to grasp as some of them are, that shame, prison and humiliation i sa badge of honor when suffered by the brave for the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. cause, and when the women enter into this fight with their minds free from selfishness, antagonism, jealousy and all forms of narrowness, then and only then will no trouble be experienced in the establishing of woman sufferage throughout the world. The appeal: "God took woman from out of man's side And so he meant for her to there abide, If to be in the rear was a ruse, A backbone instead of a rib, he'd used. Now, I'm small, but in composition mighty, I've tried to prove my min dis not flighty, As men well know upon woman they rely, Should she forsake you, you'd certainly die. Yon men can rise up in strong opposition, Endeavor to present me just one proposition Of how nobly and true without woman you'd live, When you know for her your life you'd give. Dear woman, my sister, so loyal and true. With an honest heart, and a child-like faith, Let God do the rset." The paper was very enthusiastically received. Sunday will be "Orchestra Day," and the Great Western Orchestra will entertain the Alliance, while Miss Virgie Webster will sing and Prof. R. G. Holly will render a musical selection; the 25th will be an open day for the visiting Presbyterian brethren. Everybody is invited to come out. There will be a meeting of the subscribers t othe capital stock of the Negro District and Townsite Company, held at Central Baptist Church, Tuesday evening, May 18, 1909, at 8 o'clock for the purpose of going into a permanent organization and to consider matters of incorporation. A general invitation is extended to the public. JOS. H. STUART, Chairman of Com. HARRY JONES, Secy.

The public school system of New York is among the best in the United States, and, since it is a well known fact that the board of education passes upon an applicant's merit and not his color in determining fitness to teach, our girls should have no fears about getting assigned to teachers' positions when they meet the requirements of the board of education for such. PATRIOTIC RECEPTION Military Orders Unite In Brilliant Social Function at Boston. The first grand union military reception, which was given by the Mrs. Roger Walcott auxiliary, No. 18, and Peter Salem garrison, No. 16, of the Army and Navy union at Berkeley hall, Boston, recently, was in every respect a brilliant and successful affair. The orchestra, which was led by Fred P. White, furnished excellent music, giving many of the old time patriotic strains. The attendance included many distinguished military personages from out of town, who joined heartily in the festivities of the occasion. The grand march was a feature of the evening previous to the serving of supper. It was led by Commander Seamon of Peter Salem garrison and Lady Commander Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson of auxiliary No. 18. The national colors were presented by Mr. Charles Alexander, who in turn presented them to Lady Commander M. C. Simpson. The colors, with a set of regalia, were given by Mrs. Roger Walcott, widow of the late Governor Walcott of Massachusetts, after whom the auxiliary is named. Industry of W. W. Morgan. W. W. Morgan of Glen Ridge, N. J., operates a successful automobile service. He started in business in 1907 by opening a garage and repair shop with a capital of $100. At the end of the first year his receipts were $2,779.63. The second year, 1908, the gross earnings were $4,486.27. His garage and repair shop are kept busy all the time, and he also keeps one large automobile for hire and has established a hack and cab service at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad station at Montclair, N. J. Thus encouraged, Mr. Morgan has formed a company and had the business incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, which is to be known as the Automobile Service Company of New Jersey. Alpha Physical Club's Dance The fifth annual entertainment and reception of the Alpha Physical club, which occurred at Palm Garden, New York, recently, was one of the most enjoyable events in the social circle of the city. The music, which was furnished by the New Amsterdam orchestra, kept the merrymakers in a whirl throughout the evening. It was a real reunion of the members and friends of the club and their guests, many of whom came from out of town. The colors of the club are dark blue and white, which readily distinguished the members from the patrons. The officers are: Gerald F. Norman, president; Edward E. Pettis, vice president; R. L.

Ryan, which occurred recently at Baltimore, young Afro-Americans whose privilege it was to sit under his instruction while he was the principal of the Colored Polytechnic school in that city have lost a sincere and devoted friend. Although Mr. Ryan was an ex-Confederate soldier, he had the best interest of the colored youth at heart and did yeoman service as an educator among them from 1892 to 1900, when the school board changed the Polytechnic into what is now the Baltimore High and Training School For Afro-Americans, with an Afro-American principal and faculty. Mr. Ryan, who was an expert machinist and a practical draftsman, took delight in teaching the class in freehand, mechanical and architectural drawing. At commencement times there was no prouder man in Baltimore than he, for he believed his boys to be the equals of any boys at any similar school for white or colored. Principal Ryan may have lacked the graces which obtain in the most fashionable society, but all who came in contact with him were charmed by his sincerity, devotion to his work, and if his influence could have made one of his graduates president of the United States he would have used it to that end. He was known by all the leading colored men of Baltimore, many of whom said of him that, although a Democrat and an ex-Confederate soldier, he had laid down all his prejudices at Appomattox and regarded men not by the color of their skin, but upon their merit and ability as men. THE NEGRO'S LEGAL STATUS. Amendments to Federal Constitution Binding, but Disregarded. The Hon. J. C. Ten Eyck, who is one of the leading members of the Westchester (N. Y.) bar, in replying to a letter which he recently received from Mr. John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., in which the latter requested his views as to the exact legal status of the Negro under the constitution of the United States as amended, said: "The thirteenth, fourteenth and the fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution were legally adopted as they are now incorporated into that document. They have the same force and power as any other provision of the constitution. There is no doubt about it. But, on the other hand, there is no doubt that these instruments are sometimes disregarded, and they are not always enforced. And yet they have always been recognized by the supreme court of the United States as binding." Daughters of Elks Organized. The great Southern Temple of Daughters of Elks has been organized at Baltimore. The temple has about thirty members and will be an auxiliary of Monumental lodge, No. 3, Independent Order of Elks of the World.

It is probably the only munici- pality in the country which has public baths for colored people. The baths were made possible by Henry Walters, a wealthy capitalist, who gave $25,000 to erect a bathhouse at 1016 Argyle avenue, right in the heart of the most popular colored resi- dential section. The baths have twenty bathing cab- ins on one side and eight on the other side and are capable of accommodating 140 persons ap hour. All a prospective bather has to do is to pay 3 cents, and he 1s furnished a clean towel and a new piece of soap. If he wants an fo THOLERME SE RR ca ho EER amen, Saat oP eMatets choc pS © p i | | — << — 7 eg =A r ry | P : = oa | on oe s r tain id al extra towel he will have to pay 2 cents additional, This does not pay the actual cost of the baths, the city appropriating the deficiency. A laun- dry is also provided, and women can do their family washing in an up to date manner for 3 cents an hour. Since the baths were first opened in December, 1905, over 80,000 persons have availed themselves of Sts privi- leges. These bathers are not confined to those who have no bathrooms In thelr houses, but bishops, teachers and professional men, including many prominent visitors to the city. The baths are absolutely sanitary In every respect. The city will build a number of portable baths during the summer, including one for colured peo- ple. Those in charge of the baths are: Joseph L. Myers, superintendent; W. J. Butler, Jr., assistant superintend- ent; Mrs. Edith Callis, matron; Mrs. Nellie Blackwell, laundress; John Ham- flton, chief engineer. YOUNG VOCALISTS’ BOW. at New Haven Appreciated. One of New Haven's most pleasing events of the season was the musical recital which was given at Warnet hall, in that city, recently. The program was almost faultlessly rendered and was listened to by a large audience composed of New H1- ven's most representative people. The recital was the first given by the Misses Jessie and Josephine Muse and Miss Corinne Adams, These young peo- ple were assisted by Mr. R. Howard, violinist, of Boston and Mr. Noble Ross of New Haven. Miss Jessie Muse, who {8 a pupil of Professor Louis La- ponl, rendered several selections in a pleasing manner. Her voice gives THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. prowuse OL great Gramauc avuny. uc will in time doubtless become one of the most popular vocalists of the race. Miss Josephine Muse is also a most sympathetic player. Her touch shows that she possesses unusual talent. This was evidenced in her interpretation of 8. Coleridge Taylor's compositions, which were played in a style that showed appreciation of the words of the composer. Miss Corinne Adams is a young elocutionist, with possibilities of developing into an artist of no mean ability and who will in time take her place alongside of the foremost elocu- tonists of her time. The violin duet by Messrs, Howard and Ross was one of the most charm- ing numbers on the program. Miss Jessie Muse has the unique dis- tinction of being the only colored teacher in the public schools at New Haven, her appointment having been given immediately upon her gradua- tion from t2Ze normal training school. Much of her time is devoted to voice cultivation. , Miss Josephine Muse is a graduate of the Hillhouse Hill school, at New Haven, and is a pupil of Professor Fowler at Yale university. Miss Muse expects to enter Yale conservatory in the fall to complete her musical educa- tion. Appreciation For Their Pastor. A grand concert was given recently by Mrs. Hannah Taylor at Jersey City, N. J, who was assisted by the Misses Annie and Evelyn Gibson, who are students at the high school, but very much interested in religious work. The proceeds from the concert were given to the pastor of St. Mark's A. M. E. church as a token of the re- spect and esteem In which he is held by the members. Librarian Kept Busy. John J. Boobar, librarian of the house of representatives, is preparin® a card index of the Congressional Rec ord, To ‘ndex the speeches of the Fifty-ninth congress alone required more than 20,000 cards. Mr. Boobar was appointed librarian from Minne sota and brought to his position a re markable fund of energy. He says that no attache of congress is worked so hard as to be in danger of nervous prostration from overwork and tat he thought the best way to utilize his spare time was by doing something useful. = When Chicago Got a-Going. In 1833 Chicago went almost pad over the fact that lots on what is now La Sallie street sold for $3,000, which had sold for only $80 but a year be- fore. When Chicago's taxes totaled almost $400 in 1832 the town uttered a whoop of jubilation, and when in 1834 settlers began to arrive at the rate of 100 people in two weeks, bring- ing the total population up to 4,000 be- fore 1837, Chicago's hopes went mild- ly mad, She took out a city charter, did Chicago, and the pace she has kept since that all the world knows.— Outing. . Now a Colonial Dame. Mrs. William Howard Taft has been elected a member of a Connecticut so- clety of the Colonial Dames of America, because of her descent from Gov. Welles, one of the early goy- ernors of the state. Mer mother was Harriet Collins, whose maternal grandfather graduated from Yale in 1786. His wife was Charity Welles, descended from the governo;, pe Abil ty Appreciated.

The young man did not appear for a out five weeks, and then one day the father saw him coming toward the iouse, and immediately went and cpened the front door. “Haven't yo: had enough?” said the old man. “dave you come again to eee my dau shter?” “No, no,” replied the other, “ have come on behalf of the presiden. of our football club.” Tenness:e’s Women Lawyers. @ Tennessee can boast of but two women lawy 2rs.

Of the two Miss Marion Griffin was the first to be admitted to the bar, but Miss Wolf, who was ad aitted only two days later, was the firs! to appear before the court of civil appt als and argue a case.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. dice of the white man the Negro of the North is being forced out of almost all work which he was fomerly able to obtain. For this reason it is seldom practical for the Negro to strike if he lives in a community where whites predominate. The feeble attempt at a strike of a few colored boys at the Denver Club has proven that this is true. Being suddenly imbued with a desire to imitate the prejudice of the Caucasian, they refused to work with Japanese. When the colored Captain urged them to return, they were obdurate; but at the honeyed words of the white manager, who has long been trying to knife them, they hastened back to work. This treacherous action cost the position of the Captain. Such an attempt at smartness has gained for the colored boys the contempt of both races, and probably they will be supplanted by an entire Japanese force. Mr. J. B. Wilson and others who refused to strike are to be congratulated because of the upright course they pursued. A. SUBSCRIBER. NOTICE-A WONDER.

Metropolitan Women's Business Club of Brooklyn Gives Big Recital—Public Interest Shown In Effort to Break Away From Landlord Bondage. By N. B. DODSON. The recital and reception given by Miss M. P. Felton for the benefit of the Metropolitan Women's Business club, Brooklyn, N. Y., recently was a success in more than a financial way. It emphasized, in the first place, the business capacity and leadership of the women at the head of the club, and, secondly, it showed by the quality and standing of its patrons to what extent the race in Brooklyn is interested in purely business movements. The literary program was made up of persons who have gained distinction along special lines in the professions and in business and whose sympathies are in accord with the objects and aims of the club-viz, to lead the Negro out of rental slavery and landlord bondage into a house of his own in the way of some public accommodations. Among them were Madam Bertie Toney Craig, who recited with brilliancy the "Legend of the Organ Builder," accompanied by Mr. Melville Charlton on the organ; Mr. M. A. Medley, who is a baritone solist of note; Miss Lena B. Simms, who is a gifted linguist and soprano singer, and Miss I. L. Moorman, president of the club and who knows more about real estate and finance than any other woman of the race of whom we know. The closing part of the program was taken by Shungopavi and his Indian maiden, Juanita, who were very amusing. The presence of the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, who is the successful pastor of the First African Baptist church of Philadelphia, who made the principal address and who was followed by Mr. George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn, was another evidence of the solidarity and influence of the club. Dr. Creditt dwelt at length upon the leadership of women, which had been [Image of a woman with dark hair and a white dress with a bow] MADAM BERTIE TONEY CRAIG. made manifest in the nation, the state and the church and all good movements. He also made a plea for the sacredness of the home and said that THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. the American home today is not what it was fifty years ago; that home life in the large apartments and hotels in cities was being minimized. He also urged upon fathers and mothers to provide suitable comforts and pleasant pastimes for their sons and daughters at home if they wished to save them from evil companionship. In closing his address Dr. Creditt expressed high approval of the undertaking of the club to build a hall and called upon the men of Brooklyn and New York to either acknowledge their incapacity for leadership or fall in line with the women of the Metropolitan Business club and assist them in raising sufficient means to accomplish the object which they have in view. Mr. Wibecan, who is a well known politician and progressive citizen, stated that he had the uttermost confidence in the women back of the movement and that every dollar invested with them by the public was protected by first mortgages and that he was willing to trust them with his money for such a worthy and timely object. The fact that over $3,600 has already been subscribed toward the fund is sufficient evidence to show that real progress is being made. The race must wake up to a realization of its financial strength and make use of what it has for its own benefit. It is not a question of money alone which prevents the Negro from owning and controlling business enterprises; it is his inactivity and lack of business push and foresight which keep him dependent upon other races for that which he could easily provide for himself. With thousands of dollars on deposit in the banks and trust companies of the city, there is not a hall or convenient assembly room owned by Negroes in Brooklyn, and the same is true in nearly every large city in the United States. The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers as an organization owns more real estate in comparison than all of the other Negro secret and benevolent organizations in the United States. Let the race get busy everywhere and look well to its future welfare. The Metropolitan Women's Business club is on the right track and is going to succeed in a way which should give hope, inspiration and courage to the race for generations to come. 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.

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.

We are tired of people who think so little of us as to Job's Patience Could Not Survive the Mistreatment of Some People We have been sending notices of indebtedness to our out-of-town subscribers. Some have responded, paying all or part. Others have promised payment and done nothing. Still others have not even replied to our letters. To these last two classes we are now speaking. They know full well that it takes money to run this business. Their failure to pay for service they receive whether arising from carelessness or unwillingness to pay, is an unfair return for our endeavor. In the case of those who do not even answer our letters, the fault is even worse, for common courtesy compels an answer to say nothing of the moral obligation to pay one's debts. Having exhausted our own efforts, we now give this warning to all such as owe for more than one year past, that we will on June 1st turn their accounts over to attorneys for collection through the channels of the law. Garnishment in the case of wage workers, and judgment in the case of property owners is the only means left us for collecting from persons who refuse payment upon courteous request. The law is very explicit in giving to newspapers the right to collect in full for papers delivered, and it is no defense that "I did not order the paper." Uncle Sam is very proud of his mail service and the fact that our paper has been mailed to subscribers is accepted in courts as prima facie evidence that it was received, the defendants' testimony to the contrary notwithstanding. Remember, that none of this warning is to persons who have paid or have made partial payments, nor to those who do not owe further back than June 1, 1908. All others must pay before June 1, 1909, or pay with court charges added. We are tired of treating as ladies and gentlemen people who think so little of us as to refuse us what is justly our due. Ever since the Bath House at 20th and Curtis streets has been opened, Thursday has been set apart for Negroes. In the beginning Sunday morning was also allotted them for the use of the shower baths, but only Thursday for the use of the swimming pool. We have never heard of any complaint being made to the Mayor concerning this restriction and at first there was considerable use made of the showers and pool. Of late, however, there has been little or no bathing. Persons using the swimming pool say that the Superintendent, who is an appointee, made at the dictation of Alderman Hyderfi persists in arranging the changing of the water just after the colored bathers are through, giving them the service of the pool at its foulest period, which causes them to risk their health and take the discomfort of dirty water all the time. The consensus of opinion of colored persons is that Hyder's man, Torpey, is using this means of driving away what few colored persons still use the bath house, and then will use that as pretext for doing away with their day entirely. This opinion is gaining ground and may take on political significance. Hyder, who is responsible for Torpey, from the Third ward where the colored vote cuts some figure, and with any kind of a close fight, the dirty water of the bath house will be splashed over the bath house builder. This is not Torpey's first evidence of rank prejudice, if the many reports are true. It is not long since that he was accused of being the circulator of a petition to ask that the Fire and Police Board do not grant a license to the Skating Rink. As for Alderman Hyder we have ```markdown ``` PAGE. 8.

We hope so, for it is hard to believe that there are two men who would stoop to such despicable means to deprive colored citizens of the use of a public building built for all. Colored bathers should have clean water. The reporting of news causes us at times to give space to matters that we may not be in accord with. The activity of the race is not always well directed, as a natural consequence of the fallibility of man to say nothing of error arising from bad motives. So it is that at times we do not believe that or that proposition is feasible although we give it space. Were we sure that our judgment was infallible we would comment adversely on such as we did not think well of, but we too are prone to err. Therefore, we hesitate to condemn and trust that out of the many efforts well or ill directed, there will be enough of them succeed to warrant the belief that our way lies upward. Our readers therefore will not consider this paper in active accord with everything which is reported herein, but watch those which receive our editorial endorsement. BAND MEN, NOTICE.
