E. church, will leave next week for Kansas City, Quindaro and other points in Kansas and Missouri to visit friends and relatives and especially be present at the commencement of Western University when two of Colorado's brightest gems will receive diplomas. Mr. Ward has been here scarcely two years and in that time has become very popular socially, religiously and musically. He now enjoys the honor of being the president of the Y. M. C. B. Glee Club, the Eureka Literary's journalist and a very prominent member in the Denver University Student Society as well as an active factor in the Y. M. C. B. He will spend an indefinite visit east, returning full of rest and glad tidings. EUREKA LITERARY CLOSES TUESDAY NIGHT Last Tuesday night, notwithstanding there were two parties on for young people, yet the literary was full of young people who heard a very pleasing program, which was as follows: Being "Woman's Night" Mrs. Tenie Hudson rendered an excellent solo, Mrs. Spratlin had a splendid pa- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 22 1909 per, the subject of which was "Club Women," while the audience was pleased to hear Miss Frankie Buchannan render her musical solo. Mrs. Belle Stuart addressed the literary on "Women and Politics," which was full of many pointed and indisputable arguments. She acquitted herself well. Mrs. Lillian Jones sang "Ninety and Nine" and was given a great demonstration of appreciation. Next Tuesday night the Glee Club of which Mr. Wayman Ward is president, will render a selection before the society. Something will be said about Prof. Kelly Miller, who will speak June the 3rd. A crowded house is anticipated. THERE IS MIGHT IN RIGHT. Bethlehem Baptist church on last Sunday astonished everybody but itself in its magnificent rally. This congregation is one of the young ones of the city and numbers about ninety souls. Its pastor is Rev. Reynolds. Its sturdy purpose and its sagacicus pastor, however more than make up for the numbers and the raising of more than $500 to be used as the nucleus of a building fund, is a compliment to them and their loyalty to their church. All of the members enlisted in the rally and fought valiantly, helped materially by friends on the outside. Last Sunday the close came at Campbell church having been changed there because of the illness of the pastor of the Presbyterian church, at whose church it was to have been held. The sermon was preached by Rev. Ward, pastor of another Methodist church, and the rest of the ministers were assembled there to cheer on the fighting churchmen. A wonderful sight indeed it was to see such a mingling of Methodists and Baptists and of people of all denominations. We extend our congratulations to Rev. Reynolds and his people, and hope that they will persevere until the end is achieved. A NOVEL AFFAIR. Wednesday night at the residence of Miss Eva Frazier, the Young Ladies' Coleridge Taylor Study Club, composed of our representative young ladies, gave what the bachelors called the swellest "stunt" yet given this year. The event was replete with fun, lively suggestions of wit, humor and musical information, as "affinity's basket fudge," "Musical Guessing Embrigila" and the "Bachelor's sale." The crowd was lively, and enthusiastic—not a wall flower was seen. Five cents paid for three, ten cents two and fifteen cents for one and even at that price the house was crowded, which realized to the ladies enough to send Miss Ida Cox as their delegate and Mrs. Lillian Jones as alternate to Cheyenne, Wyo., to the Feredation of Women's Clubs. Everything was sold at a bargain, except your fortune, which was given you. The occasion was quite unique. Miss Gertie Nichols is president of the clb. THE ALLIANCE ENJOYS GOOD PROGRAM. Prof. Rarkford Holley and Mr. Wolfskill gave the Alliance some of the best singing music assisted with the guitar and mandolin that it has had of its kind in many a day. Capt. Campbell was present and read an article of A. E. Pillsbury on "War Amendments." So enthusiastic was the meeting that all the back rent was made up and the Alliance again enjoys her old place in our society. Several speeches from the visiting brethren are to be the features of the Alliance Sunday. The 3-B Quartet or the Alliance Quartet enjoys the distinction of being the best in the city. Messrs. Bailey, Banks and Shipley are responsible for the new musical creation. There will be a large delegation of women who will attend the annual convention given at Cheyenne, Wyo., Saturday by the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. From Farm Boy To City Financier Ex-Financial Secretary For Tuskogee Institute Makes New Record as Stockbroker at New York—"Blaze Your Own Way," He Says. By N. B. DODSON. From a farm boy on a plantation away down in the state of Alabama to the office and occupation of stockbroker at 35 Broad street, New York, is a long stride. Yet such a chasm has been successfully bridged by Robert W. Taylor, who was for many years the financial secretary for Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Ala. Believing that his race should have some representation in the higher realms of finance, he bravely resigned this responsible position, which he had held with signal ability for fourteen years, and opened an office as a stockbroker in the heart of the Wall street district in New York. As Mr. Taylor had not served as an apprentice in a broker's office it was assumed by many who spend too much E BOBERT W. TAYLOR. time prophesying for the downfall of others and who put forth too little effort to uplift themselves that he could not long survive the terrible goring of the "bulls" and the squeezing of the "beara."

When a man has so labored among his fellowmen in such a way and to such a degree as a Christian minister as to merit an acknowledgment of his labors by the conferment of the degree of Doctor of Divinity by such an institution of learning as Friendship College, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, he was wrought nobly and well, and should be congratulated. Such has been the ministerial career of Rev. James B. Beckham in the far Northwest, Spokane, Washington, where his work as pastor, before coming to Denver, Colorado, was signally successful as it has been in JOHN H. HARRIS the latter place, that the authorities of Friendship College, S. C., voted and conferred upon him recently the high degree of Doctor of Divinity. Rev. Mr. Beckham is a college graduate of Roger William University. He also finished from the theological department of that institution; therefore, he entered upon his chosen calling well equipped for a successful career. So well has he performed the tasks which have fallen within the line of his life's work, that this last meed of honor has been given in recognition of his splendid services. The names appearing on the document that makes Rev. James B. Beckham a D. D. are as follows: M. P. Hall, D. D., President of Friendship College; A. L. White, B. C. Massey and I. A. Macon, M. D.—National Baptist Union. This is the second time Rev. Mr. Beckham has been honored with this degree. The first time was Feb. 20th, 1903, by the National Correspondence College of Indiana. Rev. Beckham, as vice-president of America, and member of the executive board, has been notified to meet the board June 9th at Nashville, Tenn. Central Baptist Church CHURCH NEWS. A memorial service of the G. A. R. will be held at the church at 11 a. m. on the fifth Sunday, May 30th. All Sons of Veterans, Relief Corps and G. A. R. are especially requested to be present. This being the first memorial to be held at a Negro church in this city, we solicit the support of all. Deacon John Little made a flying trip to Kansas on business and is again at home. On Wednesday evening, the 26th, will be a public ordination service of Deacon John J. Jackson. Rev. A. E. Reynolds of the Bethlehem Baptist Church will preach the ordination sermon and Rev. D. E. Over of Zion Baptist will give the charge to the deacon. CORRECTION Several conflicting reports have appeared in Associated Press dispatches about the incident growing out of the indignation expressed by five Southern Congressmen, because they were compelled to take their luncheon in the House Office dining room, when the Hon. W. T. Vernon was occupying a table in the same room. The facts are as follows: Mr. Vernon accompanied by Mr. W. L. Houston, Grandmaster of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, went to the Capitol on business, after transacting which they went into the dining room for luncheon. The dining room is open to the public, and Mr. Vernon has frequently been there. The statement which has appeared in some reports that it was a dining room reserved exclusively for members of Congress is incorrect. Messrs. Vernon and Houston ate their luncheon, and were at no time aware of the fact that their presence had created so much commotion. Some papers have made it appear that these gentlemen had pushed themselves into a place from which the general public was excluded. This does not happen to be true. As American citizens they had a perfect right to enter all parts of the Capitol building and grounds except such portions as are reserved from the public for special use by Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, and the incident was simply a tempest in a tea pot. THE SICK MADE WELL WITH MAGNETIC HEALING. Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hope less 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.

That was nearly two years ago, but instead of his going "broke," as some calamity prophets predicted, his success has been most remarkable. Though he wishes it distinctly known that he is a Negro, he has many more clients of the white race than he has of his own race. And that is saying a great deal, for he has among his clients some of the leading men of the race. Mr. Taylor is nothing if not original. Nothing to him seems to be so distasteful as to follow in beaten paths. "Blaze your own way!" he cries. And he straightway proceeds to "blaze" his way by shedding a flood of light on the ways and doings of Wall street. "Let the people know what Wall street is; tell them how to select the good and how to shun the bad—in fine, be frank with them, and the battle is won." is his straightforward program. To accomplish this mission he publishes monthly a bright and informing little paper known as the Wall Street Guide, which is making for itself a unique place among the many Wall street publications. It ought to go into 100,000 Negro homes each month, for, if so, not only would it safeguard those who are inclined to invest their hard earned savings against the many unprincipled men who roam at large selling "wildcat" stock, but it would show them how to invest safely and profitably. Every member of the race should be proud of Mr. Taylor and thousands should read monthly the Wall Street Guide. ODD FELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY. The Fraternity In Brooklyn Unites In Sixty-sixth Annual Sermon. The most important event in secret societies in Brooklyn recently was the celebration of the sixty-sixth anniversary and thanksgiving services by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The auditorium of the First A. M. E. Zion church, where the services were held, was filled beyond its seating capacity with members of the fraternity, who were eager to hear the Rev. Frederick M. Jacobs preach the thanksgiving sermon. The lodges present in a body wearing the regalia of the order were: Mount Zion lodge, No. 1670; Alpha, No. 1881; Morning Star, No. 1470, and Cherubim lodge. There were present also Queen Esther, Olga and Victoria households of Ruth and the juveniles. Past Noble Father J. H. Harvey was chairman of the day, and Past Grand Master Edward Henry was master of ceremonies. Past Grand Master Charles S. Lewis and Past Noble Father G. L. Lane also took leading parts in the ceremonies. Miss Grant Wins Scholarship. We note with pleasure that Miss Effie E. Grant, the popular young soprano singer of New Haven, Conn., has by persistence won a postgraduate scholarship at Yale Conservatory of Music. People Rally to Aid of Y. M. C. A. In the recent financial campaign which was conducted by the Young Men's Christian association at Chattanooga, Tenn., under the leadership of Secretary Johnson $900 was raised in six days, $646.25 in cash and the remainder in subscriptions. The money was raised entirely among the colored people of the city, who came willingly to the rescue of the Y. M. C. A. and helped it out of debt. BUSY SCHOOL AT CALHOUN. Graduates and Students of School Helping to Better Conditions. The report of the industrial school for our people at Calhoun, Ga., recently issued, is highly encouraging. The report says in part: The central school has had 270 pupils, and a very strong staff of trained teachers and workers have been carrying on the academic and industrial departments. In spite of three successive seasons of short cotton in Lowndes county, Calhoun's farmers have good courage, and the plows of its central neighborhood are now moving for a new crop. The gain in food raising makes the economic promise of the situation. This is the crucial thing in southern farming. Calhoun's farmers have paid some $30,000 for their land, five square miles of plantation country divided into fifty acre farms, so they have no rent to pay, but they are learning that with landowning must go food raising if an important improvement like a house is to be paid for. This is the struggle which is now on, the attempt to pay for farmhouses costing from $400 to $700, and since the house building era set in three years ago the colored people have had the wilderness road to travel, made so by three successive short crops. Calhoun has extended its neighborhood work this year, starting two new neighborhood schools, which are taught by its graduates. One of these schools is at Sandy Ridge, six miles to the southeast, and the other at Lee Place, five miles to the north. The schoolhouses were put up in co-operation with the Jeans fund for rural schools, which furnished one-half the money. The Lee Place schoolhouse was built by Calhoun graduates, and both schoolhouses were furnished with substantial benches and convenient desks by Calhoun's carpentry classes. The school at Sandy Ridge has a forty acre farm about it. This farm will be worked by the teachers. It will also help in giving agricultural instruction and training to the pupils. The important idea is now spreading in the south that the country district school should have a small farm attached to it to help support it and to give practical training in farming. As the money appropriated to the colored school population of 12,000 in Lowndes county amounted, according to the county superintendent's report, to only 67 cents per capita in 1908, it is fortunate that Calhoun can co-operate with the public school system in the county, encourage the better teachers by holding institutes and send out graduates and ex-students to teach and lead the Negroes to tax themselves increasingly for better schools. Financially Calhoun has suffered with other schools in the hard times. The school closed without debt, however, last year and is earnestly hoping to finish this its seventeenth year on May 31 without the handicap and discouragement of a deficit. A Sunday school teacher told his pupils at the end of his lesson that he would give them a summary. A little boy asked: "What is a summary, please?" "A summary is an abbreviated synopsis of anything," was the lucid answer. —Exchange. Little Elmer accompanied his mother to church and on the way had been cautioned to keep very quiet during service. But Elmer became restless and said in an audible whisper, "Mamma, when we get home can I go out in the back yard and holler just once?"—Exchange HELP US BE PROMPT. are occurring in the districts of the management of our mailing galleys.

L. L. McMAHAN 1 St. Denv SHOW OF HANDS DEMANDED. President James R. L. Diggs of the Virginia Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va., who is also the acting editor of the Lynchburg Trumpet, has the following to say in his paper about the Negro's treatment under the Taft administration: When we come to the southern policy of Mr. Taft there is quite a problem. Frankly, we are not disappointed, for we did not expect any fit recognition of our race for the next four years. We have no abuse or even harsh criticism for the president. We opposed his nomination because we did not favor his southern policy as foreshadowed in his address. We stand on the same ground today. We were told by Messrs. Vernon, Tyler, Lewis Tyrrell, Dancy, Washington and others that Mr. Taft was the man of the hour; we should support him and were unwise in supporting Foraker. Perhaps we were in error, but it seems less so now than ever. We now suggest that the Negro officeholders who did so much to nominate Mr. Taft also see to it that he keep faith with the race. The honor of the race is at stake, and these gentlemen have a great task to keep their idol from a great idolatry. If the president follows out his plan for southern appointments these gentlemen, who are all with one exception federal officeholders, will soon surrender to Democrats or Lily White Republicans, which means the same thing to the black man. We would like to know what explanation these erstwhile defenders of Hitchcock's steam roller methods will now make of the strange antics of the appointing power. This is a good time for them to read the inaugural addresses of Garfield, Harrison, Cleveland and Grant. If they can then accept Mr. Taft's plan we will understand conditions better. We are not to think William Monroe Trotter is the only Negro editor who abominates present conditions. The strange desertion of true Republicanism, the slaughter of the Negro in the house of his friends (?), the silence of prominent Negroes who happen to have federal appointments and the ominous silence of certain Negro papers in the face of these conditions all seem to linger on the very verge of criminality. We demand that the Negro supporters of Mr. Taft show their hands and throw out a life line in this dense darkness of death. NEGRO BOXERS CLEVER. Their Success Due to Careful Study of the Fighting Art. The cleverness of the Negroes who have tried for honors in the pugilistic game would give many of the white boxers plenty of food for thought if they would stop to consider the reason, writes Sam Berger. Out of a 75,000,000 white population as against 8,000,000 Negroes it is a significant fact that such a great percentage of our colored brethren have climbed the ladder of pugilistic fame. Men like Gans, Langford and Johnson are bright particular stars in slugdom, while many colored men less famous have had remarkable success in the ring. Their success in most instances has been due to their cleverness. In other words, in considering the colored men who have excelled in the boxing game you will find that without ex THE STATESMAN. DENVEF. COLORADO. ception cleverness has been their chief attribute. The reason for their display of ringmastership opens a flood of discussion. The white fighter is usually a lad who has developed his muscles by dint of early hard work in a blacksmith shop or in some other trade where hard work is the means of producing the weekly stipend. He seldom studies the boxing game in the same way that he studied his trade. Neither does he stop to figure that to perfect himself in the science of boxing close application is absolutely necessary. He takes pride in his gameness and usually answers criticism with indifference. He never admits until too late, after some strong armed fellow has sent him to the mat with a punch that he neglected to duck. On the other hand, the colored man usually has a very difficult task before he is given a chance to show his prowess, and many are the obstacles in his path before he gains recognition. His opportunities for developing himself in the manly art are very much more limited than his white cousin's. The bars are up in all of the better grades of boxing schools for the colored man. This makes his progress in the science of the game all the more remarkable. And so the reason for the Negro's success as a boxer is the same reason that men attain success in any walk of life. The lawyer who would make his mark must study his profession; likewise the doctor, the artist and the musician. The Race Forging Ahead. Georgia is often referred to as the Empire State of the South, and justly so, for its great commercial productivity has won for it that proud distinction. And it is a significant fact that since the civil war up to the present time the Negro population of the state has been among the most industrious of any in the United States in many ways. They are credited today with ownership of a twenty-fourth part of the soil and nearly one-twentleth of the cultivated land. Their holdings amount to 1,420,888 acres, or 2,220 square miles, a trace of land larger than Delaware—2,050 square miles. It is assessed at $7,149,225, but it is worth nearly $15,000,000, which was the price the United States paid for the Louisiana purchase. FRIEND OF MANY STATESMEN. Career of Woman Who Helped to Found Underground Railroad. Mrs. Harriet Tubman-Davis, who was one of the founders of the underground railroad, a nurse and scout in the Union army and the friend of many statesmen, is now in the ninety-sixth year of her age. It is said that Mrs. Tubman was the only woman who served unattached through the entire war as scout, spy and army nurse. She took her life in her hands many times and for her services obtained a pension from congress a number of years ago. She is proud of the fact that she wore trousers for a time and carried musket, canteen and haversack. When in 1863 it was decided to use Negro troops Mrs. Tubman pleaded to be appointed an army nurse. When the famous Fifty-fourth Massachusetts volunteers marched away from camp at Readville, Mass., under command of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, she left for the south with a commission in her dress pocket from Governor Andrew. Down at Port Royal she cooked for Colonel Shaw and clined with him, too, on occasions when she had important information to impart. When she was not acting as cook she was turned loose to browse around in the enemy's lines, where she listened and returned to repeat many things to the Union officers which they were glad to know. On one occasion she informed Major General Hunter at Hilton Head of mines planted in the river, and several gunboats sent to the scene removed a lot of torpedoes that would have smashed an expedition that was about to pass over this dangerous ground. Later she went to Fort Wagner, where the Negro troops from Boston made their famous charge and where Colonel Shaw lost his life. She helped to bury the dead and worked night and day among the wounded. Mrs. Tubn an lived for a time at the home of Emerson in Concord and spent some time visiting the families of William Lloyd Garrison, the Alcotts, the Whitneys, Mrs. Horace Mann and Phillips Brooks. A letter written by Wendell Phillips to a woman in Auburn on June 16, 1868, says regarding her: "The last time I saw John Brown was under my own roof, when he brought Harriet Tubman to me, saying, 'Mr. Phillips, I bring you one of the best and bravest persons on the continent—General Tubman, as we call her.'" Concluding, Mr. Phillips said, "In my opinion there are few captains, perhaps few colonels, who have done more for the loyal cause since the war began and few men who did before that time more for the colored race than our fearless and sagacious friend Harriet." St. Philip's P. E. Church Dedicates Pulpit to Dr. Hopkins' Memory. The celebration of the tenth anniversary of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church in Brooklyn recently attracted a large number of church people from the various denominations. The Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector of the church, is a Virginian by birth and education, and much of the success which he has had in his new field he attributes to the careful training which he received in the south. During Rector Boyd's six years of labor at St. Philip's he has baptized 133 children, fifty adults and confirmed eighty-eight communicants. He has married thirty-nine couples and raised for all purposes $14,186.12. St. Philip's Herald, a four page leaflet, is the work of Rector Boyd. It is published monthly and gives in minute detail the work of the church. The property of the church consists of a plot of ground 80 feet by 107 feet, a frame house of worship and the guild hall, with comfortable and convenient apartments nicely furnished for the rector. The special features of the services were the dedication of the new pulpit in memory of Dr. George Hopkins, who was a friend of the work, and the confirmation of a large class. The pulpit was dedicated by an appropriate prayer by Right Rev. Frederick D. Burgess. The candidates were beautifully attired in white. Bishop Burgess in a very few words said that they had every reason to take courage and go forward. He called attention to the difference between individuality and personality and said that the former is one of a class and the latter is related to all and is part of a great, throbbing world; that Christianity looks at them as persons, but it also recognizes the needs of the individual development and growth and emphasizes it in ordinances.

In loving memory of my husband, Nelson Wright, who died May 21, 1908. MRS. HENRIETTA WRIGHT. The funeral of James Henry Kirtley, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kirtley of 4521 Vrain, who died Sunday morning at 9 a.m., was held from People's Presbyterian Church, Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Williams and Rev. Williams of Campbell's A. M. E. Church officiated. Interment at Fairmount. Undertaker Gilmore wos in charge. He is the son of one of our best known plasterers, and the end came after a long illness and suffering caused by the complicated nature of the disease. Miss L. Page has been away for several months visiting through the South. Her itinerary included Oklahoma points, Kansas City and Topeka. She returned Sunday. Commenting upon Oklahoma she said that there seemed to be a strong tendency of the colored farmers there with the best farms to sell out and move elsewhere as a result of the "Jim Crow" legislation that has been enacted by the state. 一 The goat was rampant in the Masonic Lodge the other night. Six candidates took turns at subduing him. They were Jos. A. Montier, Morgan T. Jackson, Dr. J. A. Harper, G. U. Smith, Wm. Lawrence, and W. J. Moore. They had better or worse success and are now receiving the congratulations of their friends. The funniest thing of the evening was the insistence of Thomas Arrington on taking a second ride on the goat, his first one some years ago not being enough. Don't ask him how he did it. With the new members Rocky Mountain Lodge now numbers 116 members. The funeral of Rev. Henry A. Gibson, the pastor of the People's Presbyterian Church, who died Saturday night, was held from his church, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Williams and Rev. Wallace officiated. All of the local ministers attended in a body. Interment was at Fairmount. Rev. Gibson, who came to our city three weeks ago, was taken ill the next day after his arrival and never had the opportunity of preaching from his pulpit. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. Undertaker Gilmore was in charge of the funeral. This death is a severe loss to the People's church and to the community. Rev. Gibson was one of the sturdy pioneers of the Cross in his denomination and was a power in influence. His pastorate here would have meant much to Denver and this loss as well as his death is grievous to bear. Everything that loving hands could do for him, was done but in vain. May he rest in peace. SCOTT'S CHURCH NOTES. There was a splendid attendance upon all the services Sunday...Quite a few strangers and visitors were seen in the audience. Mrs. Wilma Stafford, who attended one of the Freedmen's Aid Schools, joined the church. The Hat Trimming Contest promises to be something new in the way of giving entertainments in Denver. The young man who trims the best hat will receive the prize. The contest will be Friday evening, May 28th. The Epworth League anniversary was a great success. A very interesting program was rendered. The pastor made the address. Mr. J. D. Rice sang a solo which captured the audience. Mrs. Eli Burrell and Mrs. Dora E. Wallace entertained the Ladies' Aid Society last Thursday. Chicken sandwiches and ice cream were served. The ladies are preparing for their Fair in June. The class meeting has doubled its attendance in the past two weeks. These meetings are increasing in spiritual fervor. The following leaders are during their duty in building up the mid-week services: J. D. Rice, W. S. Evans, Mrs. Anna Bobo and Mrs. Anna McPherson. The Rev. J. J. Cabbell, District Superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will hold the first quarterly conference the second Sunday in June. Good reports are expected from all departments. New cement steps have added to the splendid appearance of Campbell Church. With its new coat of paint and its art windows to be put in next month it is a rival in outward appearance of any church edifice in the West. Among the new members is Officer I. G. Gilmore. Denver society will turn out en masse next Tuesday evening at Danla Hall to enjoy themselves at dancing and cards. The Bon Tons, a new club, is the host on this occasion, and Secretary Parks makes the statement that the object of the club is not to make money, but to promote wholesome pleasure among Denver's young folks. He further states that "most of the entertainments given by the clubs of Denver have worked hardships on their members on account of the great expense, but we intend to bring the good people together without all the expense falling on the few." A large number of invitations have been issued. You do not have to go East to learn hairdressing in all its branches. Enquire terms of the Moler System of Colleges, 1229 17th street, Denver, Colo.

Lawhorn is again ready to give service in the time of death. His new parlors are located at Five Points, 2552 Washington avenue. There he has quarters that are large and commodious and with splendid arrangements for the care of the dead. He is fitting them up with fixtures that will make possible the best of service and extends an invitation to his friends and the general public to visit. Having M. B. A. M. LAWHORN. had ample experience here in the city and being known to the public, he makes his initial bow with confidence in the future. When in need of him, call Phone York 1473 and whether day or night he will respond. Funeral directing, embalming, sanitation, shipping and in fact everything that comes under the conduct of a mortuary establishment will receive attention and in such a manner as to give the greatest possible service with the least possible cost and bother. Mr. Lawhorn has made his home in Denver now for some time and is prominently identified with the fraternal circles. His wide acquaintance will be a valuable asset in the conduct of his business. Tomorrow afternoon at the Presbyterian church the visiting Presbyterian ministers will hold a memorial service in respect to the late Dr. H. A. Gibson, who passed away Sunday after a long and useful ministry for that denomination. He came to the city from Winston Salem, N. C., and took charge of the People's church nominally, but was never able to fill the pulpit. His memory will be revered in this service, some of the speakers knowing him of old and speaking with full knowledge of his wonderful evangelical ability. Mrs. Winship, formerly of this city, but now of Chicago, died there Wednesday. Her sister, Mrs. Harper, has gone to be present at the funeral. She will be remembered by the old residents, for the family was at one time very wealthy and influential here. Death came from paralysis. Miss Ella and Ida Williams of New Orleans will stop over for a few days with their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Tolans of 2535 Larimer street. They are en route to Idaho Springs, where they will join their mother. There will be a Y organized by the W. C. T. U. workers next Thursday evening at Bethlehem Baptist church.

Everybody has heard of the clam, for he has of late years achieved celebrity by lending the use of his name for broth, a form of warm water used in restaurants and soda fountains. Those who have studied the clam, however, know that he is in reality a remarkable individual. The clam begins by depositing himself in a sand bank. He takes out no fire insurance, and may be seen occasionally squirting out water, as a precaution against any sparks that might fall inadvertently. The clam in summer wears a sheath gown open at the sides, but so modest is he (or she) that it is immediately closed up at the approach of another person. Clams have decollete necks, which they are very fond of displaying in broad daylight. This, of course, makes them very sunburned. It would be much better if, during the sunny part of the day, the clam would wear a veil. Clams live usually in flats, and always go down through the roof. In their native element they are very much at home, but when seen in company with human beings they are usually in the soup or frittering away their lives.—Judge. THE EYE ON CHINESE JUNKS. Cantonese Legend Explains Why Apparently Purposeless Symbol Is Placed There. Few people know why Chinese junks have an eye painted on the port side of the bow. A Cantonese legend explains the origin of that singular custom in a way that is suggestive of Anglo-Saxon humor. A Chinese mandarin who lived centuries before the Christian era, finding himself in need of a navy, sent for the royal boat builder and ordered him to build a certain number of ships. So the builder drew up plans and presented them to the mandarin. But the plans evidently did not suit his majesty, for he flew into a violent rage and ordered the boat builder from his presence. "Then how shall I build them, your celestial highness?" he pleaded. Whereupon the mandarin drew off one of his slippers and threw it at the boat builder, who fled from the room. At the door he turned for a moment, just in time to catch the mandarin winking at his prime minister. The boat builder picked up the royal slipper and used it as a model, and then painted one eye on its bow to represent the royal master's wink. Attitude Toward Death. The normal attitude of men toward death seems to be one of inattention or evasion. They do not trouble about it; they do not want to trouble about it, and they resent its being called to their notice. On this point the late Frederick Myers used to tell a story which I have always thought very illuminating. In conversation after dinner he was pressing on his host the unwelcome question, what he thought would happen after death. After many evasions and much recalcitrancy the reluctant admission was extorted: "Of course, if you press me, I believe that we shall all enter into eternal bliss; but I wish you wouldn't talk about such disagreeable subjects." This. I THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. believe, is typical of the normal mood of most men. They don't want to be worried; and though probably, if the question were pressed, they would object to the idea of extinction, they can hardly be said to desire immortality. Even at the point of death, it would seem, this attitude is often maintained.—Atlantic. Taunting Him. It was housecleaning time, and Mr. Stubb was removing the dusty pictures from the walls. The frames slipped, the step-ladder creaked ominously, and the perspiration rolled from Mr. Stubb's brow. In the humor to bite a nail in half he turned and discovered Mrs. Stubb laughing. "That's it!" he roared, as the step-ladder swayed. "Laugh and show your gold teeth." And still she laughed. "Do you think there is anything funny in my moving these pictures?" he sputtered, in fierce tones. "No, indeed, John," said Mrs. Stubb, soothingly, "but you know you look so funny it looks like a moving picture show." Then Mr. Stubb swallowed a pint of dust and simply fumed. Delayed. Though his complexion was pale green, he managed to totter to the deck in the third day after leaving port. There he met an exasperatingly jovial and healthy looking fellow-passenger. "Glad to see you," exclaimed the latter to the man with the green face; "how is it that you haven't been on deck before this?" "Well, you see," replied the other, "each time that I planned to get on deck, something kept coming up, so I had to postpone the trip." Not a Question of Ideas. "I think," said Miss Cayenne, "that in the course of time we shall be communicating with Mars." "What of it?" inquired the professor. "We won't be able to exchange any ideas of importance." "Perhaps not. But the conversation at teas and receptions should fortify us for a little disappointment like that." Safe. A Philadelphia boy and his aunt Adelaide, who were visiting relatives at a country home in Lancaster county, were one day crossing a pasture together. When they were half-way across Aunt Adelaide noticed two oxen and paused doubtfully. "I'm not sure that it's prudent to go past those oxen, Harry," she said. Whereupon Harry tightened his hold on his aunt's hand encouragingly "Don't be afraid of the oxen, auntie," said he. "They won't hurt us. The first time I came down here I was afraid of them. I didn't dare to go back of them, and I didn't dare to go in front of them. But I thought of a way at last—I simply crawled under them."—Harper's Weekly. The Power of the Pocket Book.

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."

Any discussion of the industrial inefficiency of the race should lay stress upon the handicaps which we put on ourselves. It is bad enough that we have to take the leavings of employment after mongrel tribes of Europe and Asia are through. It is worse that prejudice makes our competition so feeble that we must be content with less wages for any service than is given others. What then shall be said of our folly when we deliberately contribute to our own reputation for being unreliable? Our failure to make time in going to work is so well known that it is a byword. Our slipshod methods of work make us the laughing stock of our white competitors. We are always prone to complain of co-workers who "make the job hard." Why under the sun, in the name of common sense do we not recognize that it is the thoroughness of our competitors that gives them the preference over us? Many a time have we referred members of the race to employers who had asked for help, and to our shame we must confess that it is the exception rather than the rule for such workers to show the interest in the place which was to make their living, that we who were disinterested, showed in telling them. This characteristic in the making of our living follows us in all our business transactions. The complaint is generally made, that while colored people are better than whites in their intention to pay their just obligations, they have less concern about when they do it. The date when a bill comes due has no meaning for them, and they console themselves with thinking of their good intentions. Then when reminded of the debt, some foolishly get offended claiming they are "dunned." What do they expect? In cirticising this shortcoming, which all comes from unreadiness to keep a contract, we are not striking at any particular class. All classes are guilty more than they should be. Preacher and layman, worker and idler, have too little regard for the promises which they make specifically, or by implication. In a matter of business, money talks. In a matter of work, efficiency talks. Excuses are idle. The man who honestly tries usually succeeds and the few who fail are easily recognized. To illustrate our meaning we cite the hundreds of professing Christians who read this article that owe accounts which they have neglected to pay. We cite the hundreds of workers who have read this and do not give the maximum effort to their daily tasks. So long as Christianity will not make us pay our bills, and so long as our living will not make us do our best, the race problem is made the more complex by the additional handicap of our own making. Stop being a hypocrite in your religion, stop crying about others "making the job hard." SO LIVE AND SO WORK THAT YOU WILL BE PREBERRED ABOVE ALL MEN. PAGE. 8 TERMS. BOULDER OUTING. On Saturday, High School Day, at Boulder, a party of Denver's popular girls and hoys, among whom were the Misses Robert Ann Barbee, Lola and Bessie Jacobs, Kathryn Hubbard and Edna Schweich, also the Messrs. Bradfield, Campbell, Rhodes, Marshall, Canty and Mosley. They were the guests of Miss Martha Hubbard, who is a junior at the State University. Upon their arrival they were met by a tallyho, in which they went to Mrs. Bryant's lovely home, after which Boulder's most interesting points were visited. The ride was brought to a close at the T. Jackson Casino, where dancing and card playing and other games were participated in. About 7 o'clock a delightful dinner, such as only Mrs. Jackson can serve, was partaken of. After dinner the party of young folks resumed dancing until a very late hour, when the couples returned home, after having spent a most delightful day with Miss Hubbard and Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.

A., when more business was transacted than at any other time and means were taken to make the I. G. A. stand for and be all that was originally intend- ed. Everybody was very active about Kelly Miiler’s lecture and doubtless a packed house will be the result of the efforts of the members. Howard Uni- versity will be there strong with her yells and members expect to put the Kansas club, the Lincolnites and Western University students and grad- uates ‘way in the shade. It will be a grand evening because every pastor in the city, all the members and symp- athizers of the Y. M. C. B. and the Azalia Hackley Choral Club are all “boosting and coming” to hear Kelly Miller because he has and knows his- tory of the different nations so well that every true Negro will be proud of his lineage after hearing him. Tic%- ets can be had at the Canadian res- taurant, every Y. M. C. B. and inter- graduate, also from Messrs. A. G. Fall- ings, George Contee, Dr. P. EB. Spratlin and Mrs. A. L. Froman, The public is advised to get your tickets now and then be on hand early to avoid the jam. The 1. G. A. wil have a baccau- larate sermon preached and on or about the 21st of June will give a ban- quet for this year’s graduates.
