COLORED ARCHITECT MAKES SUGGESTIONS FOR BUILDING COLORED SUGGES "ARCHITECTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC." (Second article of the "House Beautiful" series, by Clarence W. Wigington.) In a recent article to the Omaha Enterprise, I wrote in general upon the important problems confronting the prospective home-builder and also the builders of any kind of building. There is no one person who realizes more keenly the innumerable vexatious conditions arising in and around the erection of buildings and especially the primal building of the home. than the architect. Now it is necessary to define the general duties of the architect in order to avoid future confusion. In ancient times and even as late as the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the duties of the architect very generally overlapped those of the contractor. But from that time on the profession of architecture assumed a definite standing of its own. In other words, we have today the architect who draws and designs the proposed building; compares the specifications; disburses the owner's funds according as the architect sees fit; supplies all necessary artistic and scientific data in connection with the completion of the proposed building, and the general supervision of the building operations. Therefore it is plainly seen that the contractor is entirely under the direction of the architect. The contractor is responsible for the safe and satisfactory execution of the architect's plans, designs, decorations, specifications and directions. There can be no doubt whatever as to the slight knowledge the general public has of the value and scope of the architect's profession. The man who contemplates the erection of a building of any importance whatever without the technical and practical advice of a competent architect is in the same boat with the man who pleads his own case in court, or ministers to his dangerously sick family without the trained physician's diagnosis and prescription. There is a peculiar significance to be drawn from the attitude of property owners toward colored tenants. No matter where you may go, be it north, east, south or west, there is found that demon of prejudice which closely restricts the renting privileges and often the buying privileges of the colored individual. If you propose buying property, unless it be in a distinctly colored neighborhood, it is very --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JUNE 12 1909 difficult to secure a first-class piece of property. Thus it is of the utmost importance to those concerned to improve and enhance the value and appearance of the property secured. One does not desire to live in surroundings that are disagreeable to the sight and other sensibilities. Neither does one propose to impair the health by subjecting it to a multitude of improper environments. What then is our duty toward acquiring the "house beautiful?" First we should refrain from purchasing the tumble-down shacks which real estate dealers reserve for their colored patrons. If we must secure such property let it be obtained with the certain knowledge that some day the proposed purchase can be materially improved for safe and sure investment. Second and of very great importance, is the certain wisdom of buying land for the home on the city's outskirts. The suburban homes of all cities are the most individual, the most artistic, and by far the most healthful. Moreover you can secure two suburban lots for the price of one close-in lot. This fact alone should appeal to those of our people who contemplate the purchase of home-building property. There is no argument more potent than that which urges us to build our homes at a good distance from the business district. Naturally it is always necessary to hold some close-in property for business and investment purposes. In another article which will appear in Alexander's Magazine of Boston, I shall point out the crying need of building our own fraternal halls and business buildings. The amount of rent paid out by fraternal societies, lodges and purely social clubs would stagger one's comprehension. Why not direct this ever growing expenditure into a permanent building fund? It can be done. What has your community done along this line? Now you want to know what the architect has to do with the details just enumerated. It is just this. The competent architect can render you invaluable service in remodelling your old, undesirable house; can tell you after a thorough inspection whether a house or other building is worth the selling price, or worth buying at all. He can professionally advise you as to the sanitary and hygienic qualities of your home. The architect has a practical and intimate knowledge of every essential feature and every embellishment that should enter into the construction of the home or other State Historian & Natural History Society SATURDAY JUNE 12 1909 MAKES BUILDING building. He can disburse your building funds a great deal more judiciously than you can ever hope to do. Does he not know how to plan economically, thereby getting the greatest value for the least possible expenditure of money? By his critical and professional knowledge of architecture he always prevents the unscrupulous contractor from wasting hundreds of dollars of the owner's precious money. With all due respect to all contractors it is not possible that they should know equally well as the architect how to best please the owner in every detail. Therefore if you intend building a home even of modest proportions, by all means employ an architect of standing. A few days ago the writer had occasion to be present in a professional capacity in the nine-room home of a certain lady. The house had been built at an expenditure of $4,200. No architect had been employed, and as a result the kitchen was seven by nine feet in size, nothing more than a large pantry. But worst of all, the contractor had mixed his lines, thereby causing another room nine by twelve feet to be entirely enclosed by other rooms, which shut off the light from every direction. This enclosed room was of no practical use, where as it cost $300 to build it. The entire house should have cost not a cent over $3,400. The owner admitted her mistake in failing to secure the plans from a competent architect. The above is an actual occurrence, and not one drawn from the realms of fancy. However, it is equally as bad to employ a poor architect, that is, one who does not thoroughly understand his profession. Now we come to the crucial point of our discussion. According to the federal census of 1900 there were fifty-two Negro architects, designers and draftsmen in the United States. That number has probably doubled since then, although the number of architects alone possibly formed one-fourth of the whole number. Most of these men have received their practical training in the large offices of white architects. Obviously it seems that when we desire to erect a house, school, church or business building, it would be only fitting and proper that a competent colored architect be employed. We have our physicians, dentists, druggists and lawyers. Why not patronize this newly developed profession which must ultimately be such a power in advancing better and more substantial ideas among our people?

Ninety-four young men and women received degrees at the recent commencement exercises of Howard university, which were held in Andrew Rankin chapel, on the university campus, at Washington. There were twenty-one students who received the degree of bachelor of arts, twenty-three doctor of medicine, eighteen doctor of dental surgery, twelve doctor of pharmacy, eighteen bachelor of law, one bachelor of theology and one bachelor of pedagogy. The commencement exercises covered a period of nine days. President Taft was the speaker on commencement day proper. JOHN H. HARRIS Howard university was founded in 1867, and the recent commencement was the fiftieth in its history. Receiving, as it does, large appropriations from the United States, it occupies on that account an advantageous position in that it is more able to measure up to the requirements of a real university than any other college for Afro-Americans PROFESSOR KELLY MILLER. in the world. Being able to pay its professors good salaries, the university has a faculty noted for proficiency in scholarship. Two of the deans' are Afro-Americans. They are Professor Kelly Miller, who is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Professor Lewis B. Moore, dean of the Teachers' college. Professor Miller has a national reputation both as an educator and as a writer. He ranks first among Afro-American mathematicians, having specialized in the celebrated Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore. Since his elevation to the deanship the College of Arts and Sciences has been making more progress than ever before. Professor Miller is in great demand as a lecturer. He left commencement night to fill speaking engagements that will take him as far west as Denver. He will deliver commencement addresses to several institutions, will speak before lyceums, literary societies, churches, etc. Dean Lewis B. Moore of the Teachers' college is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Young Cadets' Great Triumph. Company E, Armstrong Manual Training School, Won the Fifteenth Annual Competitive Drill Over High School Cadets Amid Exciting Scenes. Company E of the Armstrong Manual Training school won the fifteenth annual competitive drill of the companies composing the separate battalion of high school cadets on the American league park grounds at Washington the other day. The triumph of Company E over the four other companies in the competitive drill was unexpected and was accompanied by several notable features. In the first place, it was the first time that a Company E has ever competed In the annual drill of the colored cadets, there being in former years only Companies A, B, C and D. Company E, too, was composed of green recruits, its privates being boys who entered the high school from the graded schools only last February and who have been drilling for only a few months. It competed against companies of older boys, including privates who have been studying military tactics for at least a year. By the winning of the Armstrong Manual Training school company also honors have been equally divided between that school and the M Street high school. In the seven previous years that these schools have been pitted against each other in the annual drill the M Street and its four times and the Armstrong soldiers only three times. There are now four victories to the credit of each school. By a remarkable coincidence Company E took off the honors this year in the competitive drills both between the white cadets and between the colored cadets. Last week Company E of the business high school was pronounced to have put up the best drill of all the twelve companies from the white high and manual training schools. The girls from the two rival schools turned out to cheer the boys in blue in large numbers, and brothers and sisters and parents were there in plenty. In the boxes around the front of the grand stand seats were many persons of prominence, including members of congress, leading District officials and school authorities. On the north side sat the friends of the M Street high school underneath huge banners of the school colors-red and black. On the south side of the field were the supporters of the Armstrong school, a thousand strong and as well equipped with banners of yellow and blue as were their opponents with red and black. Company C of the Armstrong was the first to appear on the parade field, and as the right guide marched from behind the grand stand in the extreme northeast corner of the field a shout that shook the rafters in the grand stand went up from the Armstrong side of the field. The company soon presented arms before the board of judges, its captain had received his orders, and the movements were being executed with marked precision that led many in the stands to remark that the leading company had set a high standard. Captain Alonzo Burwell was in command. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. As Company C marched away from the judges the first squad of Company E, later to be pronounced the best drilled company on the field, became visible behind the far grand stand. The boys in blue were noticeably smaller than those of the first company, and adherents of the Armstrong hastened to explain that this was the baby company of the battalion and composed of recent recruits. But it soon became evident that the company needed no apologies. Despite their small size the privates marched with a swinging stride that is commended in regulars, and there was a noticeable steadiness in the ranks as one after the other of the movements were executed to the commands of Captain Alrutheas Taylor. The third and last of the Armstrong companies followed, it being Company D. After one or two movements had been carried out the crowd in the grand stands soon realized that the high standard set by the first two companies was to be maintained by the third, and, while the movements were not carried out as expeditiously as by the two previous competitors, it was noticed that it was to be seriously considered for first honors. Captain Ernest Hardy was in command. When Company B appeared on the field it was the turn of the supporters of the M Street high school to cheer, for that was the first company from that institution to compete. And the thunder that went up from the north side grand stand indicated an abundance of school loyalty. Captain H. Gray was in command. Company A followed, bearing on to the parade ground the much coveted championship drill flag which it won last year. When it lined up before the judges First Sergeant Jones relinquished the banner with an air of regret and yet hope that he might maren off with it. Captain Burnette Robinson was in command. The judges were Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davis, U. S. A.; Lieutenant James E. Walker, D. C. N. G., and Lieutenant Thomas O. Jones, D. C. N. G. It was the first time in many years that the board of judges was composed entirely of colored officers, and its chairman, Lieutenant Davis, was formerly a student in the local schools and a graduate from the M Street high school. Finally the judges emerged from the covered stand to which they had retired and announced that they were ready to designate the winning company. Adjutant Dent marched to Lieutenant Davis and received an order to bring forward one of the companies. Adjutant Dent walked straight for the middle of the battalion. As he quickly turned to the south front of the battalion the supporters of the Armstrong school realized that one of its companies was the victor, and a mighty shout went up. Captain Taylor quickly gave the command to his troops to march forward to receive the rewards of victory, and their steps were cheered to the echo. Halting before the party of judges and officials in front of the grand stand, Captain Taylor stepped forward and received from the hands of Commissioner Macfariand, president of the District board, the white championship pennant. In the party which presented the tokens of victory were Representative S. W. Smith, chairman of the house District committee; Representative Washington Gardiner of Michigan, chairman of the District subcommittee on appropriations in the house; Commissioner Macfarland; Obtain James F. Oyster, president: William V. Cox, vice presi- dent; Dr. B. W. Evermann, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, R. R. Horner of the board of education; Dr. W. V. Tunnell; A. T. Stuart, superintendent of schools; Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Percy M. Hughes, assistant superintendent in charge of white schools; Dr. Bruce Evans, principal of the winning Armstrong manual training school; W. S. Jackson, principal of the M Street high school; Judge William H. DeLacy of the juvenile court; Harry O. Hine, secretary of the board of education and others. UNION AMERICAN M. E. CHURCH Century of Religious Activity—Bishop Ruley's Great Work at Wilmington. The Union American Methodist Episcopal Church of Wilmington. Del., is one of the several Methodist bodies which are forging to the front. Ac- cording to the statement of those who are in a position to know the denomination is nearly a hundred years old and has a membership of 30.000, scattered from Canada to southern Maryland. The connection has three bishops - viz. J F. Ramsay, J. C. Wilmore and B T. Ruley. The latter is a native of Delaware and has his residence in Wilmington. He received his [Image of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark shirt and a necklace, set against a decorative background with a floral motif. The man's name is not visible.] RIGHT REV. B. T. in Wilmington RULEY. He received his early training in the public schools of the state, which was supplemented by private instruction. He entered the ministry forty years ago and fourteen years ago was elevated to the episcopate. Since then he has striven almost unaided for the advancement of his church. As a monument to Bishop Ruley's self sacrificing labors there are in Wilmington a publishing house of the denomination, a church paper, the Weekly Messenger, and a denominational school, the Union Industrial and Theological Training school. The theological school has been brought to its present state of efficiency by the untiring efforts of the bishop. The principal of the school is Rev. Dr. S. P. Shepard, a Lincoln university alumnus. Dr. Shepard has charge of the academic, theological and industrial departments of the school. At the first commencement of the school which was recently held, a large audience witnessed the graduation of Miss Harriet May Trusty, Miss Helen M. Watts, Miss Saphronia Carter, Miss Martha A. Brown, Alfred E. Miller and Percy O. Batipps. The Union Messenger, which is the organ of the denomination, is edited by Rev. Ezekiel Smith. The publishing house of the denomination is the outgrowth of a printing place started some years ago by Bishop Ruley. It soon outgrew its one story quarters on French street, and in December, 1902, the bishop purchased for the denomination a hand some three story building at 101 East Ninth street, right in the heart of the business section of Wilmington. The structure cost $4,600, and therein are located the denominational publishing house and the school. Bishop Ruley has lately had erected a handsome residence at 10 West PAGE. 10. Twelfth street. He and Mrs. Kuley will be tendered a complimentary reception by the minister and members of the denomination and the citizens of Wilmington June 24. This reception is planned on an elaborate scale and is to be a testimonial to his efforts in behalf of his church and race. Comrade James Tappen. Among the remaining Negro Grand Army men of New York ex-Commander James Tappen is well and favorably known. Rev. Mr. Tappen enlisted in 1862 at New York and was assigned to the Gleaner, which was the first war vessel to sail out from the Brooklyn navy yard. Commander Tappen was in sixty-six engagements and bore his part well. He was honorably discharged at the cessation of hostilities. Mr. Tappen was one of the speakers at the recent Memorial day exercises. His subject was "Reminiscences of the Civil War." Dr. J. E. Shepard's Good Work. The race should be proud of the great work which Dr. James E. Shepard has accomplished in securing the necessary $50,000 for the erection of a religious training school for our people at Durham, N. C. The ground for the building will in all probability be donated by the public spirited white citizens and merchants of Durham. Dr. Shepard will also be remembered for the excellent services which he rendered in connection with the international Sunday school work. Work In Liberia Closing.

A. to all inquiring friends and will say that it is one of the best societies to which anyone could belong. Very truly yours, MRS. MATTIE CRAWLEY. COLORADO AT WESTERN UNI VERSITY. Commencement exercises at Western University this year will be the greatest in the history of that institution. Governor W. R. Stubbs will be the principal speaker, and Dr. Wm. T. Vernon will deliver the baccalureate sermon. The business course department, in charge of Prof. Albert Ross of Colorado Springs, and Miss Mettie Mallory as assistant teacher, looms up in conspicuous strength on the program. Sixteen of the thirty-one persons graduating this year are graduates of the full business course. Miss Eva B. Jones and E. S. Plummer of Denver head the list as graduates of the full business course. Miss Philetus Fitzpatrick of Denver and Buelah Allen of Colorado Springs are graduates of shorthand and typewriting course. The other members are: Miss Minnie Johnson, graduate Iola, Kan., High School; Miss Alice Miller, graduate Sedalia, Mo., High School; Mr. Leo Willis, graduate Galena, Kan., High School; Mr. Roscoe Copeland, graduate Fort Scott, Kan., High School; Miss Fannie F. Toles, graduate Abilene, aKn., High School; Mrs. Maude D. Billups, graduate Normal Course, Lincoln Institute; Miss Maud Moseley, graduate Normal Course, Lincoln Institute; Myrtle Brooks of Booneville, Mo.; Pauline Vaughan of Quindaro; Charles Yeager, Farmington, Kan.; Miss Annie Rentie, Muskogee, Okla., and Robert Ransom, graduate Normal Course, Western University. This class from the business department is the largest, strongest and best prepared ever sent out from Western University, and it alone speaks volumes for the painstaking and efficient work of its director (one of our Colorado boys), Prof. Albert Ross, and his faithful assistant, Miss Mettie Mallory of Baxter Springs, Kan., a graduate of this same department, class 1907. The following was the program of the commencement which began May 26th ult., with the Department of Elocution: Wednesday night of this month was the annual band and orchestra concert; Thursday, piano and vocal musicale; Friday, address to the literary societies by Rev. Matt. S. Jones of Fort Scott, Kansas; Sunday, the baccalaureate sermon, President W. T. Vernon, A. M., LL. D., and register of the United States Treasury; Monday alumni meeting, also an address to religious societies, by Dr. W. H. Peck, Kansas City, Mo.; Tuesday, June 8, State Board meeting and class night exercises; Wednesday, university board meeting and prize oratorical contest, and Thursday, June 10, at 2 p.m., at the commencement exercises, Hon. W. R. Stubbs, governor THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. of Kansas, will address the graduates and award the prizes. And who makes the Statesman proud is that the Colorado students have taken a leading and prominent part in each endeavor where honor and hard work abounded.

The New Gospel of Industrial Education For the Negro No Balm For Prejudices of White Laborers—Fatal Crisis Near at Hand. Concerning the strike against the employment of Negro workmen on the Georgia Central railroad the Brooklyn Daily Standard Union says: Southern students of the Negro prob lem have continually asserted that in dustrial restrictions upon the Negro workers are almost entirely confined to the north; that objections by white mechanics to the co-labor of black men when they have occurred at all in the south have been an exotic importation by northern labor unions. Only recent- ly census figures have been published to show a large proportion of Negro mechanics in southern industrial cities and almost none in the north, colored men in this part of the country being employed almost entirely as porters or in such like service. A story was told of the erection of a skyscraper in a southern city at which the contractor was compelled by the imported north. ern members of the Steel Constructors’ unfon to discharge the Negroes who mixed mortar for another part of the work under threat of a strike. It was narrated as something that astonished the southern community very much. If that condition was correctly re- ported it is evidently about at an end. for the locomotive firemen’s strike in Georgia 1o prevent Negroes earning a living at that occupation {s reported as upheld by the public sentiment of the towns along the line, inconyen- fenced as they are by the cessation of rauroad service. And even the Hroth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, tha powerful and conservative organiza tion which has been distinguished by never helping any union other thai one of railroad men, {s threatening t order engineers to strike on other rail roads if those other roads attempt t Telieve the freight congestion on th Georgia Central. What has here been mentioned con stitutes the most grave development in the question of the existence of the Negro race in North America and thus one of the most serious in its relation to the whole people, for the question of the Negro’s right to vote, arising out of the peculiar circumstances un. der which emancipation of the slave took place, might be settled by the process of time, even as the white man's right to vote has been settled gradually within very recent time in this country. But the right of any particular race of men to work at any- thing they can do has never been de- nied on this continent before, and if that right is to be regarded as o mat- ter of dispute the consequences in the future are incalculable. No race of people ever lived in safety, much less in prosperity, if it deliberately set about to degrade an- other race. The vast sums spent upon the education of the Negro, the great plants created for the purpose of train- ing him in handicraft, the new gospel of the most noted leaders of the race that salvation ts to come through in- dustry and sobriety and thrift, will all be worse than useless if the Negro is denied an opportunity to labor at those occupations for which he may acquire the skill. A community which refuses to tol- erate a black man shoveling coal from the tender of an engine will perforce be compelled to endure the black idler, cultivating all the vices which go with idleness and all the dangerous crimes that arise from it. A national trade organization which shuts out a race which represents 11 per cent of the population from service in that industry which employs more men than any other in the country brings to the front a race {ssue com- pared with which the extension of slavery in the new territories was {n- considerable. There has been much hope that the United States would escape a serious convulsion as the result of the prob- lem involved in the existence of two races living side by side. But that crisis is sure to come and {s nearer than was feared at the worst if this little incident in Georgia 1s to be taken at its face as Indicating that the black race, at the desire of the white labor- er and with the consent of the white community, is to be shut out from the tofler’s ambition and limited to such hope as may be the idler’s and the eriminal’s.

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 small be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER. NOTICE-A WONDER.

Her daughter Marguerite accompanied her there. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Monday night was "Thousand Dollar night" at Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1 of the Masons. This was the occasion when the first formal steps were to be taken to clear the property they own, of its mortgage indebtedness. About one thousand dollars was paid in or pledged to be paid in, and it is expected to raise the grand total necessary by July 19 in time to pay off the mortgage and make arrangements for building. The election of officers resulted in C. A. Franklin being chosen Worshipful Master; Thos. W. Richmond, Senior Warden; Orestes Murphy, Junior Warden; J. R. Contee, Treasurer; Wm. Sprague, Secretary; F. T. Bruce, G. S. Contee and T. S. Rector, members of the Board of Trustees. The annual reports for the year were presented in printed form and make interesting reading. The summary is as follows: The growth in financial resources has been equaled by the growth in membership. Ninety-two members were the total a year ago and one hundred and sixteen are the present. Great preparations were made for the annual picnic July 14, eleven captains volunteering to lead the companies in the ticket selling rally. An enlarged picture of O. C. Goens was hung on the lodge walls to be preserved there as a reward to him for his success as the winning captain in the December entertainment contest. The Grand Master was to have been present, but the death of his mother in Colorado Springs necessitated his absence from the city. A spread was served to the members and visitors present by the newlymade members. The Colorado Mutual Benefit Association, Denver, Colo.

Wallace united in the holy bonds of matrimony Mr. Isaiah Galimore and Mrs. Emma Carter last week. It was a private wedding and only a few intimate friends were in- vited to witness the ceremony. The L. T. L. was very happily en- tertained in the church by the general superintendent last Tuesday’ aiter- spoon. Refreshments were served to the delight of the young folks. Mrs. Morrison certainly knows how to reach the hearts of the young people. The Officers of the church are in- augurating plans to make extensive repairs on the church edifice. These repairs are much needed and will add to the beauty and harmony of every: thing. re Doctor J. G. Harris preached « very acceptable sermon last Sunday even- ing to a responsive audience. He preached about the duty of children to parents and parents to children. Dr. Harris grew eloquent at times during the progress of his discourse.

The official board decided to give the trustees the fourth Sunday in the month for the purpose of raising money on the incumbrances of the church. The other three will be given to the stewards. This move ment was commended both by pastor and people. The Rev. P. K. Yoon delivered a very entertaining and instructive ser- mon last Sunday morning to a large audience. Rev. Yoon is a native of Corea and came to this country in 1904 as an envoy to President Roosevelt in behalf of his country whieh is under the protectorate of Japan.

THE MONTHLY NEWS We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. 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 "PO-RO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Gladden, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, has been serving as a member of the Board of Inquiry, by designation of the Secretary of War, to devise ways and means for increasing the efficiency of chaplains in the United States Army. The sittings were held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and the suggestions put forth by Dr. Gladden were given a very attentive and cordial hearing. He was the only colored member of the board, and the first of the race to be called upon to act in such a capacity. PROF. KELLEY MILLER Highly Entertained by University Alumni at Mrs. Falling's Residence. Immediately after the lecture Thursday night Prof. Kelly Miller, the author, scientist and educator, was royally banqueted at the residence of Mrs. Mabel Fallings, on Clarkson street. The event was given by the Howard Alumni and ex-Student So the high degree of service and the general ease and grace which stood out so prominently that night and for which feature Mr. Bufford deserves unstinting praise. The honorary guests were Reverends Harris, formerly of Howard, and Ward and wife; the invited guests being Miss Gertie Nichols, Mesdames Campbell, Contee; Messrs. Clark, Monday and Carsey Morris. The society consisted of Capt. Thos. Campbell, toastmaster, who spoke on the subject, "Our Guests;" Mrs. Mabel Fallings, who responded to the toast of "The Ladies;" Misses Fanny Carpenter, Pearl Barnes, Eva Cooper and Helen Monday, Mr. Geo. Contee, Dr. Cantey and Lawyer Geo. G. Ross, who spoke on "Our Alma Mater." Prof. Miller proved equally as pointed, witty and sociable in this event as he was in his lecture. He told of Howard and her graduates, their aims and intentions, and her past accomplishments, her increased and renewed strength in her recent awakening since the advent of President Thirkield. Howard's alumni had pledged a $10,000 gymnasium for the development of the brainy and brawny negro youth of the school; $2,000 was subscribed in one meeting in Washington; he told how Carnegie after visiting Howard once, saw the Negroes' need of a library and responded by giving $50,000 for the library, and Congress just recently appropriated $90,000 for a new science building to be equipped with the latest scientific appliances of the day, and so many other good things that space forbids its detailing. He congratulated the old Howard students on their "enthusiasm and Howard spirit," and bade them to keep it and spread it with Howard's ideals wherever they went. He strenuously insisted that Howard students always be found on the side of morality, clean character and on the side of the common people. and on the side of the common people. PAGE. 8.

Ward, T. J. Riley, A. S. Newsom, Geo. C. Sample, O. T. Jackson, J. B. Holmes, M. E. Shepard, J. B. Beckham. Dear..... We have your subscription for.... shares of the capital stock of The Negro Townsite and Land Company given to Mr.... subject to payment thirty (30) days after organization and incorporation. The Negro Townsite and Land Company was permanently organized by the subscribers, on June 1st, 1909, at the Central Baptist church, Twenty-fourth and Welton streets, Denver, Colorado. The above directors were elected to incorporate the company under the laws of the state of Colorado, and to manage the affairs of the company for the first year. Articles of incorporation are on file in the secretary of state's office, and the county clerk and recorder's office of the city and county of Denver. Enclosed please find application blank, for permanent filing, of your subscription in the office. The object of this form of filing is to insure good faith and give the directors an idea of how much land to contract for and in what manner you wish to secure your land. We have more than two hundred subscribers to deal with, and we must know their wishes before we make a purchase of land. There has been submitted for the company's investigation, a number of tracts, ranging from 3,000 to 50,000 acres, in different localities. When we know just what the subscribers want in the way of land, it will not be long before we can announce the location. In order to assure success of this important race enterprise, it is quite necessary that each subscriber lend every assistance and encouragement to the company by filing his bona fide application as soon as possible, and interesting others to do so. The office and books of the company will always be open for the inspection of all subscribers, and we hope that you will keep posted on the procedures of the company. We will be pleased if you will send to the office the names and addresses of any one you may think would be interested in an effort to establish race independence, so that we can send them our literature.

Let it not be for the present delight, nor for present use alone, let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substances of them: 'See! This our fathers did for us.'"—Ruskin.
