The needs of our young folks are so great that the desirability of carrying the Brotherhood through the elementary stages until it becomes a full grown The DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 29 1909 Young Men's Christian Association, is generally understood.

Pastor Dixon's Notable Career. Financial Report Encouraging. The annual reunion of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, N. Y., which occurred recently, was one of the leading events in the AfroAmerican church circles of the city. The auditorium of the church was filled with members and friends from both in and out of town, who enjoyed an excellent musical and literary program previous to the collation, which was served in the upper lecture room in charge of Deacons Waller J. Moss and R. Lincoln Powell and Trustee Charles J. Crowder. The Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., who has been the successful pastor of the church for forty-six years, presided and 4 DR. W. T. DIXON. gave a hearty welcome to the members and visitors. The choir rendered some choice selections, and there was an address given by the Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., pastor of the Bethany Baptist church. Letters of inquiry were read by Church Clerk Peter H. Fisher, and a stirring address was made by Miss Rebecca J. Carter, who conducts the city mission, which is under the control of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission at Chicago. Miss Carter said, "Since the opening of the mission, March 15, I have made 211 family visits, held over 100 religious conversations, found a large number of backsliders and one family from the West Indian islands which had been in the United States eleven years and had not attended any church during that time." An interesting part of the program was the reading of the annual report of the board of trustees by Secretary Graham H. Carter. The report showed that the total amount collected from all departments of the church for the fiscal year was $6,543.66. Of this amount the Sunday school contributed $713.11 and the deacon fund $1,035.09. After paying all current expenses the treasurer has a cash balance on hand in bank of $895.05. The surplus of the Sunday school amounts to $119.31. The church was organized in 1847. Dr. Dixon was called to its pastorate in 1863, having been licensed to preach by the Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, in 1859. The mem- A. MRS. A. J. VAN KEUREN. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. bership today numbers 1,059. Pastor Dixon enjoys the unique distinction of having served successfully this one church for forty-six years. Although he is in the seventy-sixth year of his age, he is hale and hearty and preaches with power the plain gospel of Jesus Christ, for he says: "I was not called to preach politics or to engage in other business. My mission is to preach the souls of men from hell to heaven." Concord has the largest church and Sunday school membership of any church among Afro-Americans in Brooklyn. The school numbers 563 scholars, including the home department. It is graded and is doing a good work among the young people and the children. Mrs. A. J. Van Keuren, superintendent of the primary department, has been a member of the school from a little tot. She also has the oversight of the cradle roll and beginners' grade in her department, which are superintended by Mrs. C. A. Bell. Mr. Charles J. Crowder, who has been a trustee of the church for a number of years, is also the chairman of the Sunday school committee, which under his leadership has done a great work both by personal help at the sessions of the school and in raising money to assist the school in its special anniversaries. The committee gives a musicale annually for the above purpose. The church property is valued at $40,000. upon which $37,000 has been paid. An effort is now being made to raise 3 being made to raise the balance of $3,000 with which to complete payment. The trustees are: Lewis H. Berry, chairman; Graham H. Carter, secretary; Thomas P. Moseley, treasurer; Charles J. Crowder, chairman of the house committee; R. L. Williams, collector of pastor's salary; E. L. Faulcon, collector of mortgage money; R. D. McKluney, William H. Brown and Alfred B. Nash. Witness—I saw a man with one eye named Wilkins. Lawyer—What was the name of the other eye?

The Negro of the Next Generation Must Build Squarely Upon the Constitution. If He Fails to Profit by Past Experiences the Future Will Deal Treacherously by Him—Herod Yet In Galilee. By N. B. DODSON. The history of the Negro race in the United States for the past 294 years furnishes an example of courage, ambition, long suffering and endurance on the one hand and self reliance, hope, stability and marvelous growth on the other. Slavery with all of its cruel and baneful effects operating upon him for about 250 years was not sufficient to crush out his native ambition. Caught away from the land of his birth without his consent, he humbled himself to strangers who plied the galling yoke of bondage upon him without fear, favor or mercy until forced by the revolution of time and the bent of Christian civilization toward human liberty to loose the key to the bow which held the yoke which bound him. His freedom came of necessity, not by choice. As a willing subject he obeyed the laws which he had no voice in making, but which as a freeman he upholds. And yet he lives and moves and has his being. He is ready at any minute to shoulder arms either against a foreign foe or help to put down internal strife. The government has declared him to be a free man, but the spirit of undue reasoning and high handed monoply which dominated the period of his bondage has not entirely passed away. Its cunning chicanery still lives in the hearts of some of our countrymen with its old time intensity. By nature, training and environment he is the most original citizen America has today. He is more than that—he is the only native that has looked the white man squarely in the face for nearly three centuries without being vanquished by his piercing eye. The Indian tribes which the white man found in American when he came have all receded to the Everglades, territories and reservations. The Chinaman, Japanese, Italian and Jew survive, but are rather subdued except when mingling with their own kind. If they trust the American it is with fear and trembling, but the Negro goes in and out among all classes and kinds and finds pasture. His progress in point of time and opportunity for development is acknowledged and recorded by history to be without parallel or precedent. With his past accomplishments as stepping stones and guideposts, what manner of people ought the coming generation of Negroes to be in all learning, business experience, wisdom and knowledge of governmental affairs? May the trials, hardships and difficulties of the past re-echo the answer down the corridors of time that the Negro will simply be what he makes of himself, nothing more, nothing less. One thing is only too true—that if the coming Negro falls to profit by the mistakes and blunders which the race has made in the past, whether in business, education or in citizenship, the future will deal treacherously by him. Again, if he fails to make his manhood rights secure by seeing to it that every right guaranteed to him under the constitution is respected by other races and enforced by due process of PAGE. 10 law he will have to rebuild the roads over which the past generations have come. Herod is still in Galllee, and it will not be safe to take the young race back through his territory. Let them take the Appian way, with all roads leading to Rome. They must build squarely upon the constitution which is an agreement by which it binds itself to each citizen and each citizen binds himself to it in all that document implies. The Negro of the next generation must know these facts, and he must contend for the just fulfillment of them. His strength of character, education, wealth, experience and numbers must be used as a unit in the great battle which is still to be waged upon the principles of justice and equality before the law. I believe that the Negroes of the next generation are going to see a brighter day than that through which we are now passing. If there be wrong or impatience on the part of those who were formerly the Negro's friends in regard to his final triumph over the things which have held him back in the past, let them not judge harshly, but employ righteous judgment, for we see all around us the manifest power of natural and invulnerable law in every walk of life. Columbus, Newton, Watts, Franklin, Edison, were all imbued with that great cosmic principle which they knew could not be successfully gainsaid for all time. The Negro of the coming generation must embody the understanding of the conservative Egyptian of old; he must taste—yea, imitate—the eruditions and axioms of the Babylonians; must look in upon the mysteries of boasted old Delphi and make the lessons to be learned from their struggles serve his purpose in his final struggle to have his title to citizenship secured. There must be no compromise. TO DISCUSS RACE QUESTION. Speakers of National Repute Strong on Many Vital Points. The conference on the race question, which was announced some time ago to take place in New York, will begin its sessions in the Charities building assembly hall May 30 to last three days. About a thousand invitations have been sent out, and much speculation as to the outcome of the conference in regard to its views and decisions upon the Negro question is rife. It is said that the Negroes want a decision as to whether the United States government ever intends to obey the constitution as to what constitutes citizenship in the United States. Among those who are to speak at the conference are Professors Farrand and Dewey of Columbia college, New York; Professor Wilder of Cornell university, E. D. Mead of Boston, Bishop Walters of the Zion Methodist church, Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley of South Hadlay, Mass.; Leslie Pinckney Hill, principal of the Manassas Industrial school at Manassas, Va.; Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago, William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, Dr. William Bulkley, principal of public school No. 80, New York; Joseph C. Manning, editor of the Southern American, and Ray Stannard Baker. A mass meeting will be held at Cooper Union on the night of Memorial day. Judge Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia will preside, and the speakers will be the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Clarence Darrow, Professor J. S. Bassett of Smith college, the Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington and Professor W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta university. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

You will find that nine out of ten of them eat meat and plenty of it. There is nothing else equal to good wholesome meat properly cooked for making muscle and brain power. The cooking is important, for a good cook can use the cheaper cuts of good wholesome meats and make them delicious but she can't do much with even the better cuts of poor meats. This is why "THE GRAND" carry only such quality of meats as their customers will want again after they have tried them. They must have guessed right for their trade has grown so that now they are supplying a large portion of all the families in Denver with the greater part of their meats.

The white newspapers published every detail and name in full. We shall not go that far as we think more of you, byt we trust those young ladies will not make the same mistake twice. There were three ‘colored men implicated and Judge Mc- ‘Clellan bound the oldest one over in the sum of $300 to await the action of the next grand jury. We are fur- ther informed that other men, old enough to be these girls’ fathers, have made efforts to entice the young la- dies up winding stairs, over large buildings to their rooms for evil pur- poses. Some of these men are posing as some of our great race leaders. Shame on such conduct of hypocrisy. The conscientious citizens who desire to see the home properly protected should call for the police protection if necessary. Rey. W. T. Thorton of this city has accepted the appointment from the bishop to pastor of the A. M. E. church at Prescott, Ariz. The news was a shock to even his most intimate friends as they had no idea of his in- tention to re-enter the ministry and to have him leave us after living in our city for so many years brings sor- row and regret to all of his acquaint- ances. Mr. Thornton was one of our leading business men, being the own- er and. proprietor of a steam carpet cleaning machine, which he operated successfully and which enabled him to amass a nice little fortune, includ- ing some nice real estate. Mr. Thorn- ton was an active member of society, taking an interesting part in all pro- gressive movements, particularly to affairs concerning the betterment of the negro, Several of our societies owe their existence to the energetic efforts of his. His business was in a flourishing condition but he yielded to the call to re-enter the ministry and may it be said to his credit, he once pastored this church successfuliy, al- ways standing up for Christ. He has not yet decided just when he will leave the city but the citizens of Al- buquerque will lose by the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Thornton some valu- able instruments to our growing so- ciety and the Prescott people will be greatly benefited by having such noble character to lead their flock.

Brown, Cor. Secy. We had the best quarterly meeting May the 3rd ever witnessed in Billings. May God's blessing be upon us at all times. The young people are taking new life in the literary work, which we are glad to see. We hope in the very near future to have one among the best literary in the State of Montana. The Billings people were highly commended on the improvements they had made on the church property. We are glad to say that it has greatly increased in value under the leadership of Rev. T. L. Cate, our present and most worthy pastor. The literary society of the A. M. E. Church celebrated the 25th anniversary of the A. M. E. Review. Miss Ada Lewis was accepted and crowned Queen. Mr. E. H. Brown acted the part of Envoy. The exercise was all our hearts could wish for. Not only THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The following were unanimously accepted: A. M. E. Review, the Colored American and Denver Statesman. There are a number of others we want to get. The first meeting of any kind ever held among our people in this city was the Montana Ministerial Alliance and young people's meeting, a three days' session, which opened May 4, 5 and 6. Rev. J. C. Coleman, D. D., presided. The meeting was of interest to all. The Hon. H. J. Thompson, mayor of the city, made the welcome address, which was full of wisdom and to the point. In the absence of Rev.

PAGE 2 Beauty of New York's Capitol is Adornments and Architectural Beauty Resemble Dome of Turkish Mosque. Medallion of Frederick Douglass Among Those of Other Great Americans. The visitor to the state capitol at Albany, N. Y., is struck upon entering with the magnificent oriental splendor of its interior adornments and its beautifully wrought carvings, which are to be seen everywhere under its great dome. The multiplicity and variety of the designs which artists and sculptors have deftly fashioned on pillar and wall and ceiling seem to have exhausted all their skill in their effort to beautify the most costly state capitol in the United States if not in the world. The western staircase is constructed of Corsehill sandstone imported from Scotland. It is of a light brown color—almost red. The staircase is entered from the eastern approach to the capitol and is also accessible from State street, Washington avenue and Eagle street. It is surmounted by a dome of thick plate glass, the conformation of which is suggestive of the dome of a Turkish mosque. The medallions of all the former governors of the state are to be seen, and on the caps of the pillars which support the staircase on each floor are carved the heads of men famous in the history of state and nation—Thomas Jefferson, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln of blessed memory. FREE MOUNTAIN DOUGLASS MEDALLION. grouped with Grant, the great captain of the civil war; Sherman, famed for his march to the sea, and Sheridan, the dashing cavalry leader; last, but not least, Frederick Douglass, facile princeps of Negro leaders, with shaggy mane and piercing eye, who has been honored by his admiring countrymen with a place in this galaxy of immortals "who were not born to die." A lady was standing with a group of visitors one day gazing at the strong face of the lion hearted Douglass and remarked: "I will never forget the night I heard Mr. Douglass speak in Utica; such eloquence, such invective, such irony and such magnificent oratory I never heard before. I was a girl then, just twenty. Father THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD ook brother John and I to the meeting to hear Mr. Douglass speak. I shall never forget that night as long as I live." The Douglass medallion was placed in the capitol at Albany at the instance of Charles W. Anderson, Esq., then chief clerk of the state treasury department and private secretary of the state treasurer, Hon. A. B. Colvin. He suggested to Isaac G. Perry, a Democrat and one of the capitol commissioners, who was in charge of the capitol construction, that it would be a graceful tribute to Mr. Douglass and one which American Negroes would appreciate if he would place a medallion of Mr. Douglass in one of the groups—on a pillar with those of the great notabilities who were contemporaneous with him. Mr. Perry liked the idea and at once commissioned Collector Anderson to have the work done. When the sculptor had completed his work Commissioner Perry presented a copy of the plaster of parls model to J. E. Bruce, who donated it to the famous Bethel Literary at Washington, of which Mr. Douglass was an honored member. There are at least 214 groups of signs used in Chinese, each group containing from 5 to 1,354 separate characters. AN AFRO-AMERICAN TOWN. Named For the Noted Author and Educator at Howard University. Kelly Miller is the significant name of a new town site on the Trinity and Brazos Valley railway, in Freestone county, Tex., about eighty-seven miles south of the city of Dallas. It is named for the noted educator and agitator at Howard university, Washington, and is to be owned and operated by and for Afro-Americans. In the nature of things, considering all the surroundings, the effort to establish a town in this section to be manned and owned by colored people should meet with success unbounded. There are certain governmental ideas which should be developed, but before they can be developed they must be planted. There is certain respect for law and order and governmental functions which mankind must sustain, but it must have a beginning. Under the peculiar conditions which are the lot of the present generation of colored folk these things can have no beginning in a mixed community in the south or, for that matter, in the north. The town site consists of ninety-three acres, having twenty-four blocks containing 312 lots, each block being 300 feet square. Its streets are sixty feet wide, with a fifteen foot alley in each block. Each lot will be 150 feet in depth, leaving a sidewalk of ten feet. The public square will be dedicated in memory of the noted Write Cuney, and it is hoped that the people of the state of Texas will erect a monument thereon in memory of this great man.—Dallas Express. Conference of Y. M. C. A. Secretaries. The first conference among Afro-American Y. M. C. A. secretaries was organized a few days ago at Montclair, N. J. There were present R. P. Hamlin of the Carlton avenue branch, Brooklyn; J. T. Bell of the West Fifththird street branch, Manhattan; the secretary of the Orange (N. J.) branch and Walter H. Foster of the Montclair association. The purpose of the conference is to devise ways and means by which to reach a larger number of our men who for some reason have not so far affiliated themselves with Y. M. C. A. work.

SPRATLIN During the war of the Revolution, that primitive era of the nation’s life, that golden age of public and private virtue, as we are accustomed to re- gard it, free Negroes voted in all the States or colonies of the Union except South Carolina. In every one of the States except South Carolina the Ne- groes had the right to vote and in most of the states exercised that right. Washington and Jefferson and Jay and Hancock and Hamilton every year went up to the polls and deposit ed their ballots where the Negroes did theirs. They were not defiled nor the Union particularly endangered. They stood up for the equal rights of all freemen at the ballot box without re- spect to color. And after the war of the Revolution was over you remem- ber that they had to go to work to re- construct the Union, just as you pro- pose to go to work to reconstruct your union. Under the old articles of con- federation there was no bond of union except that of patriotic sympathy, aud the dogma of state rights came near “playing the devil” with them. Each state could do as it pleased. At the end of the war they were compelled to go to work and make “a more perfect Union,” and in this work of making a better Union the free Negroes had the right to vote in all the states except South Carolina. And afterward they voted under Washington, Adams, Jef- ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson's administrations. In five of the New England states and in New York they have been voting ever since. In Penn- sylvania they continued to vote until 1838; in Maryland and Virginia they voted until 1832, in New Jersey until 1839 and in North Carolina and Ten- nessee until 1835. Some of my North Carolina friends here in the north will remember that George E. Badger was elected to congress by Negro votes, John Bell of Tennessee also, and old Cave Johnson on one occasion, finding that he Was about to lose bis election, emancl pated fifteenortwenty of his ownslaves and they went up to the polls and elected him to congress, Now, I have thought that, as the Negroes are now all free down there, we might extend this Democratic precedent a little fur ther. Even Andrew Jackson, Old Hick ory himself, who was a good Demo crat in his day, though he would not pass muster now, the old hero whe praised the Negroes for fighting « well under him at New Orleans an¢ who ever afterward enjoyed thelr grat itude and respect, when a young mat called on the Negroes to help elect the legislature which afterward gave hin a sent in the senate of the United States, and I think {f old Jackson could do so naughty a thing as this it woul not disgrace a Democrat now to have a few Negroes vote for him {if they were so crazy as to vote on that side! ROEBUCKS SEEKING MENELiK Supreme Deputy Chief Edun on Ex- tended Tour For 8ix Months. Under registered post of April 20, A. D, 1900, Supreme Deputy E. 0. 0. Moore, Ijemo, Abeokuta, West Coast Africa, reports to his supreme radix- ship W. Musgrave La ‘Motte, in New York, that his royal highness Prince Ladapo Ademola, Abeokuta's future king, has affiliated with Abeokuta cir- cle aud (nut nis royal nignness Prince Ademola heartily indorses the orig- inal Afro-American Order of Roebucks; his royal father, his serene majesty the Alake Gbadebo, the king, has granted Supreme Deputy Chief A. Edun six months’ leave of absence to visit central and northern Africa to propound the great principles of Roe- buckism in those realms of Africa Through Supreme Deputy Chief Edun they hope to reach the king of kings, his serene majesty Emperor Menelik IL, and institute lodges in that most royal realm of Africa as speedily as possible. _ Supreme Deputy Moore reports two circles organized and that certificates of application for charters will reach the supreme lodge in due time. During the absence of Supreme Dep- uty Chief Edun the government sec- retary, Supreme Deputy Moore, is act- ing government secretary of the realm of Abeokuta. In recognition of the affiilation of his royal highness Prince Ademola’s antiership {n the Beneficent and Phil- anthropic Order of Roebucks of Amer- fea and Elsewhere, Inc., the sub- Mme degree of past supreme baobab chief will be conferred upon his royal highness by the supreme governiny board of directors by special request wf his supreme antlership William Preston Moore, the supreme baobab chief of the order, at the next regular conclave of the supreme governing board of directors at New York. We salute the prince: Bayette! Bayette! Bavette! Negro Finance at Richmond. Shortly after the late William W. Browne, founder and organizer of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, had secured the charter for the savings bank of that order at Richmond, Va., !n 1889, he made the statement that if the race would support the True Reformers as an organization it would not be long before the race would hatch banks throughout the United States. He was not far from being right, for in Rich- mond alone there are four banks which are owned and operated by Afro Americans. The recent reports by these financial institutions to the state corporation commissioner show a yol- ume of business to the amount of $723,311. NEGRO STUDENTS PLEASED. President Taft Tells Them to Look Forward, Not Backward. When President Taft arrived at Bid- dle university, Charlotte, N. C., on his recent trip he received a rousing wel- ‘tome from the students and faculty. ‘His speech at the university aroused great enthusiasm. He said in part: “I thank God that those troublous times through which your fathers and mothers lived are passing away, and the proper place for you to look is for- ward and not backward. There is growing over the entire south a feel- ing, due to economic conditions, that you will_be a necessity for the prosper- Ity of the south if you will only do what you ought to do to make your race happy. You can demonstrate to the white men of the south by making yourselves members of the community ‘that it ts as much to their interest to treat you well as it is to your Interest to have them treat you well. “One of the most satisfactory devel- opments of the last ten years is the in- terest that your southern white neigh- bor is taking In your welfare, your ed- acation and your profit. Things are moving on. Ve are catcning up. No, I am not goinz to give you to under- stand that I d n’t know the burden of a race feelin; and that oftentimes there is an agi nized moment when the Negro feels tat the whole world ts against him. Che way to meet it is to face it, is to r cognize it, go on and do your duty, liv: and labor and be pros- perous in spite of it.” The presider t ridiculed the idea that the two races cannot live amicably in the same cour try. “The time '3 coming, in my judg- ment,” he weit on, “when the busi- ‘ness men of th> south are going to rec- ognize much 110re fully than they do today the greit advantage the south ‘has in your pr sence on the soil. Your race is adaptec to be a race of farmers first, last and all the time. You are going to do mre than you have ever done in that lirection as a result of the education which the industrial schools are gi ing you.” NEW YOR ODD FELLOWS.

It was the occasion of the installation of the new pastor, Rev. D. E. Over. He has been serving for some weeks and has won a secure place in the hearts of the people and this installation service, therefore, meant more than the mere introduction of a stranger.

Ne. 16. ae, ee : r een woe pelle scree | Western | These Two Streams pu ' [HE LEADING EDUCATIONAL INS’ The situation of Damasus is re- ‘markable—sle stands isolated on an oasis of the vast desert which every- where hems her in. You may see from Damascus the sunset firs touch with purple the low western hills 25 miles’ away. These hills mark the beginning of the great desert—beyond them there fs nothing but a rolling waste and the long roads to Palmyra and Bagdad. The permanence and prosperity of Damascus are due to the presence of two rivers, which have converted this spot of the dreary, desolate and uninhabited desert into a smiling and well watered plain. The Pharpar approaches only within seven miles of Damascus, but by means of canals and aqueducts sends Sts life giving waters to the gardens of the city. The Abana is the siream from which the city’s main supply of water {s obtained. Minerva like. it springs full born from the base of a perpen- dicular rock at Ain Fijih, in the heart of the Ant!Lebanons, and runs a course of ten miles in a gorge, a large river 20 to 30 feet wide and four feet deep, its waters always fresh and ice cold, casting out branches every where, permeating every nook and corner of the city, until, as one bas raid: “Literally, there is scarce a street, bazaar, khan, courtyard or dwelling house which has not its mar- ble or stone fountain constantly filled with running water supplied directly by the Abana itself.” Thus, the Aba- na, not fruitlessly wasting her waters on that thirsty land, saves them In ber narrow gorge till she can fling them well out on the desert. and ex- pends all her life at once in the crea- tion of a single city —Biblical World. TRAINING OF TURKESTAN GIRL “Education” Thet Boorse to the West: ern Mind to Be of Little Real Vatue. Dismounting before the uprolled felt door of one of the round tents, I peered into the smoke-blackened in terior, and found an old white-turbaned “khoja" teaching three rosy-cheeked little girls to read “How {ts this?” | asked in Turki, sur prised at such a reversal of Mohamme dan customs. “Aren't there any boys in this camp?” “Oh, yes,” answered the teacher, with a shrug of his shoulders; “but what can we do? We are poor The boys must be off tending the sheep.” The pretty, black-haired girls were evidently a rich man’s daughters, for the broad brims of their caps were made of imported fur, and their shape- less gowns were of red, green and yellow silk, woven in preposterous flowery patterns. I asked one of them to read where I pointed. She did not even glance at the book, but began reciting something as fast as possible, It wax the day's passage from the Arabic Koran, which neither she nor her teacher understood.

Members of the Masonic fraternity throughout the state of Pennsylvania are much interested in the forthcoming dedicatory ceremonies which are to be held on Thursday, June 24, at which time the grand lodge of Afro-American Masons of the state will dedicate the home for the aged and indigent members of the order at Linglestown, Pa. The grounds and buildings for the home were purchased in 1908, the deal becoming effective Jan. 1 last. The home and farm are located within a forty minute trolley ride of Harrisburg. The building is beautifully located at the juncture of two roads on a slight elevation, and it is comprised of eleven rooms, capable when furnished of accommodating twenty inmates. The farm consists of sixty-five acres of splendid soil, twelve acres of wheat, ten acres in corn, fifteen acres in oats and twelve in potatoes. In addition to the large apple orchard, there has been added a peach orchard of 200 trees. The dedication will be under the management of the grand lodge executive committee, consisting of Joseph L. Thomas, chairman; W. H. Miller, J. Q. Adams, G. W. Phillips and J. P. Scott, secretary, of this city. Grand Master James W. Grant of Harrisburg will preside at the dedicatory exercises, and Grand Marshal James M. Auter, also of Harrisburg, will be in command. The grand lodge will be escorted by the grand commandery of colored Knights Templars. The following order of exercises will be observed, Joseph L. Thomas being master of ceremonies: Religious ceremonies conducted by Grand Chaplains Rev. J. Q. Adams of Harrisburg and the Rev. Robert Williams of York; welcome address, District Deputy J. P. Scott of Harrisburg; response by chairman of trustee board, Past Grand Master Lemuel Googins of Pittsburg; dedication of home by Most Worshipful Grand Master James W. Grant of Harrisburg; oration by W. Justin Carter, Harrisburg. Growth of New Jersey B. Y. P. U. The fourth annual meeting of the New Jersey State Baptist Young People's union, which was recently held at Mount Pisgah Baptist church, Asbury Park, was one of the most largely attended and interesting sessions since its inception. The reports of the delegates showed an increase both in membership and finance. Strength of Negro Voters. The recent and timely appointment of William Randolph, an Afro-American, to be one of the assistant district attorneys at Pittsburg by Mayor William A. Magee has aroused wide interest in political circles among all classes. Some time ago a delegation of colored citizens called on the mayor and asserted that unless they got some good offices the colored people of Pittsburg would form themselves into an independent party. The appointment of Frank A. Piekarski, famous football player of the University of Pennsylvania, as an assistant district attorney is also announced. Messrs. Tucker and Brown of the Buxton (Ia.) Y. M. C. A. boys' department are still striving to shape the lives of the boys, helping them to become strong men. At the recent state convention which was held at Des Moines sixteen boys took a stand for Christ. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. THE MAN AND THE PET FERN Daily Proceeding That Turns a Wife's Hair Grey Many Years Before Her Time. After supper Mr. Man lights a cigar and sits down for a comfortable smoke. His wife, with a regard for husband and the neatness of her home evenly divided, places an ash tray on the table near him, and a cuspidor on the floor. The man is comfortable and happy, and would get mad if any household disturbance caused him to leave his chair, but he notices ashes on the end of his cigar, and gets up, passes the ash holder and cuspidor, and crosses the room to drop the ashes on his wife's pet fern. The wife has piled as many as ten ash trays near the man, and surrounded him with cuspidors, but he ignores all of them to find his way to the pet fern. The wife objects, and has been known to put the pet fern in another room to save it, but the man passes the ash trays and cuspidors and walks into the next room to flick off the ash on his cigar. The same man will walk through six rooms, if need be, and pass 375 burnt match holders to drop his match beside the pet fern. It does no good for the woman to object, or to invest all her pin money in more ash trays, burnt match holders and cuspidors, for the man will never see them on his way to the pet fern. And, so far as domestic history relates, this is the only recognition the man ever gives his wife's plants. And he never does give recognition to the ash trays, cuspidors or burnt match holders. PAT HAD BROUGHT THEM ALL Coachman Too Well Remembered His Orders as to Doing Things by Combination. A gentleman in want of a coachman had an Irishman apply for the situation, when the following conversation took place between them: "You know, Pat, if I engage you I shall expect you to do things by combination. For instance, if I tell you to bring the carriage round at a given time I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, etc." "Yes, sor," said Pat. He was duly engaged and gave satisfaction. One day his master came to him telling him to look sharp and go for a doctor, as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a long time, and on his master grumbling at him for his delay he said: "Sure, they're all here, sor." "All here?" said the master. "What do you mean?" "Didn't you tell me to do things by combination?" "What's that got to do with it?" said the master. "Well," said Pat, "I've got the doctor, the parson and the undertaker." Bishop Hartzell Meets President. Bishop J. C. Hartzell, in charge of the missionary work of the Methodist church in Africa, recently had a talk with the president regarding the work to be done by the Liberian commission. The commission consisted of R. C. Ogden of New York, who recently resigned; Emmett J. Scott, private secretary to Booker T. Washington at Tuskogee, and W. Morgan Schuster of the District of Columbia. Booker T. Washington was in conference with the president, but did not recommend anyone for Mr. Ogden's place. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN,' Prop. & Mgr.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE.
