money to send delegates to the Western Baptist Association.
Cards have been received from Miss Ruth Robinson, who is visiting East, stating she is having a splendid time.
Messrs. Thistle and Lucas spent a day in fishing trout this week and came back with quite a number.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker moved into their cozy little bungalow out on Twentieth street.
Miss Lillian Jefferson, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, entertained a few of her girl friends at her beautiful home on Nineteenth street. The occasion of this was to make "ice cream" candy. Arriving at her home each girl put on a dainty apron and went to the kitchen to help make the delicious repast. With a few burns and mistakes the jolly crowd soon put forth a large dish of their first trial candy. After the cooking was over the hostess then served ice cream and cake. Those present were Messrs. Minsle Cave, Virgil, Ethel, Ruby Gaskin, Viran and Harriet Taylor and S. Kathryne Thistle. All reported having a fine time, as only can be had at the home of the delightful little entertainer.
"All aboard," "Tickets, please," "India," "Japan," were the pleasant sounds heard when the S. L. C. gave their "Trip to the Orient." Our "tourist cars" proved to be the coal wagons used daily in hauling coal, and our engineers were no other than Messrs. J. C. Gaskins, S. Gaskin and O. Gaskin, and the voice of our depot conductor soon told he was Mr. E. F. Landor. Arriving at Paris, which was the A. M. E. church, we saw beautiful Parisians in the person of Miss L. Hopkin, beautifully dressed in pink with hair fired on Roman style, having the pink ribbon adorning it, and Mrs. H. H. Jones, charmingly dressed in white. Here we received buillon and wafers. Our train soon pulled out and India was our next destination. The distance between these two was truly represented, for a long drive east around the lake and through town was given us before we came to India. Here our natives were in the persons of Mrs. C. A. Ashford and Mr. P. Crutchfield, who were attired in costume. The house was prettily decorated in blue and yellow
and a profusion of flowers seemed everywhere, while off in a cozy little corner on the porch a Hindoo fortune teller, known in life as Mrs. E. F. Landor, gave delightful life readings of the present, past and future. After a delightful luncheon planned on Indian style the voice of depot master called Japan. Distance against interfered and after a long journey up Randall avenue, Boulevard, around Pioneer Park, the late train arrived at Japan, and cute little Japanese hostesses were Mrs. Redd and Mrs. Duess. Here beautiful young girls were sold as is the custom in Japan to-day, to the highest bidder. The house was decorated with flowers and Japanese anterns. Fruit salad proved to be the luncheon of these quaint little people. The distance between Japan and America was short, and arriving home we sang songs and had a general good time, as only Americans can. Punch was given to us to quench our thirst after our long trip, and after a song, "Love Me and the World is Mine," we departed to the various homes, having enjoyed with the ladies another trip never to be forgotten.
The Young Boy's Club gave a delightful picnic at Silver Crown Station. Leaving early in the morning in the "Broadway" of Mr. S. Smith. Mrs. L. Courtney chaperoned the jolly crowd. Those who spent the day among the mountains were Misses Minnie Cave, Marenia Palmer, Eva Palmer and Lucy Smith; Messrs. W. Cooper, Earl and Elmer Smith, S. Cave, G. Hailey, G. Taylor, R. Lewis and P. Baler.
Mr. Edward Landor received the sad intelligence that his mother, Mrs. Louisa Cook, who lived in Tokepa, Kansas, died last Thursday evening. Mr. Lando left to attend the funeral, which occurred in Topeka last Sunday. Miss S. Katheryn Thistle has been acting as assistant in furnishing and writing news for The Statesman, the regular correspondent, Mrs. E. F. Landor, accepting her services most gratefully. Miss Thistle will assist Mrs. Landor during the summer in supplying The Statesman with Cheyenne news.

Higher Court Against Dugro.
Judges of Appellate Division of Supreme Court at New York Do Not Share Sentiments of Lower Court as to Rights of Negroes and Whites.
Again the case of George W. Griffin, the Afro-American Pullman car porter, against Daniel M. Brady, in which Justice Dugro of New York said some weeks ago that the false arrest of the Negro didn't humiliate him as much as if he had been a white man, has come before the public. It was brought up a few days ago by the action of the appellate division in ordering a new trial of the case, but with the statement that the court did not indorse the opinions of Justice Dugro on the rights and standing of Negroes and whites.
Justice Dugro's decision had caused wide comment. It was commented on from California to New York. Griffin was a porter of a train on which Brady rode to Montreal. When the white man got off he found that his cardcase, which had contained $20, was missing. He went to a magistrate and got a warrant for Griffin, who was arrested. But there was little evidence, and he was acquitted. Coming to New York, Griffin sued Brady for false arrest, and on the trial the jury brought in a verdict of $2,500. Justice Dugro reduced the amount to $300.
He held that he "was a porter, and, while he is just as good as the president of the United States and if he is imprisoned wrongfully he should be paid for it, it would be a bad argument to say he is just as good in many senses. He would not be hurt just as much if put in prison as every other man would be. That depends on a man's standing, what his circumstances are, and, if he is a colored man, the fact that he is a colored man is to be considered.
"You cannot say that he is just the same as a white man when you come to say how much his shame will suffer. He might suffer more. But, after all, what are the probabilities about it? Is it likely that when a colored man is arrested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might?
"In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man, for the law says he is, but he has not the same amount of injury under all circumstances that a white man would have."
Educators of
Negro Youth.
National Association of Teachers, In An-
nual Meeting at Asheville, Discuss the
Principles of Education—Bishop
Warner Tactful—Dr. Wright’s
Famous Message Cited.
By L. M. WRIGHT.
There was recently held at Ashe
ville, N. C., at the Young Men’s insti-
tute, an organization founded by
George W. Vanderbilt, a most notable
convention of educators of the colored
youth known as the National Associa-
tion of Teachers in Colored Schools.
The association was formed some six
years ago und is composed not only of
Negroes, but also of whites who teach
in Negro schools.
Being composed of the teachers of
both races. the discussions were neces-
sarily conservative and dwelt upon
principles of education rather than
matters merely of racial interest.
The president of the association is
R. R. Wright, LL. D., who is also the
president of the Georgia State Indus-
trial college at Savannah. Dr. Wright
is one of the most distinguished Ne-
groes of America. It was he who
when a mere boy, shortly after the
close of the civil war, gave that now
famous answer to a request for a
Message to the north from Geuera! O.
O. Howard, who was then at Atlanta,
“Yell them we are rising,” and who
was during the Spanish-American war
major and paymaster of the United
States army. Dr. Wright has been for
thirty years a teacher in the state of
Georgie, having established the first
zolored public high school in that state
in 1880. He was also the first presi-
dent of the first state college for Ne-

gro youth in Georgia in 1801. As
early as 1879 Dr. Wright organized
one of the first associations of Negro
teachers ever held in the south.
On the opening evening of the teach-
ers’ convention Hon. John EB, Campbell,
the mayor of Asheville, made the wel-
come address. Addresses on behalf of
the teachers and citizens of the state
were delivered by Professor T. S. In-
borden, principal of the J, K. Brick
school of Enfield, N, C., and Dr, J. W.
Wulker of Asheville. President Wright

efficient individual, was one that was
able to take care of itself, was ener-
gctic, self reliant, resourceful, provi-
dent, prosperous and hopeful. Tor the
Negro to have all these admirable qual-
ities he must be taught them in a large
measure by the teacher, for civiliza-
tion is the offspring of education.
“Our teachers are a powerful force
in developing character and bettering
social conditions, but the relation be-
tween the teacher and the home of
the child must somehow be made
closer. The teacher must work not
only with the pupil, but with the
parent. A great responsibility rests
upon the teachers. It is taken for
granted that they see the need of or-
ganization, and that they understand
the task that is set before them, and
that they Know that in this age of
electricity and combination individual
effort must be strengthened and made
most effective by co-operation with
others working in the same sphere.”
The roll of states showed on the
first day that fifteen states and the
District of Columbia were represented.
‘The following subjects were discussed
during the sessions of the convention:
“Vocational Training In Our Grammar
Courses,” by Mr. W, H. Singleton, prin-
cipal of grammar school, Chattanooga,
Tenn.
“How 1 Have Interested My Public
School Pupils In Agriculture," by MroJ
H. Garvin, superintendent colored city
schools, Winchester, Ky.
“How the Colored City Schools May Be
Made to Fit City Conditions,” by Mr. W.
H. Valentine, supervisor celored public
schools, Indianapolis, Ind.
Address, Dr. J. H. Dillard, present ot
the Anna T, Jeanes fund for rural
schools, New Orleans.
“Some Suggestions For the Improve-
ment of the Negro Rural Schools,” by
Mr. Charles L. Coon, superintendent pub-
lie schools, Wilson, N. C.
“The Teacher as an Influence In the
Business and Economie Life of the Com-
munity.” by Mr. W. G. Pearson, principal
colored schools, Durham, N. C.
“The Place of the Kindergaten In Our
Educational System,” by Miss Georgia F
Koontz, Anderson, 8. C.
The final address was made by Pro-
fessor It. Ro Wright, Jr, who ts the
editor of the Christian Recorder and
manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern
of Philadelphia on “The Negro Teach-
er as a Social Missionary.”
A reception was given to the dele
gates by the citizens of Asheville,
which showed their appreciation of
the good work vf these educators.
One of the most notable of the ad-
dresses of the session was that of Dr.
Wertenbaker of the United States pub-
lie health department. Dr. Werten-
baker explained with especial care
the causes of tuberculosis, its origin
and spread, Its prevention and cure
and was listened to by a most appre:
ciative audience. Other specialists in
tuberculosis who spoke were Drs
Dunp and Minor of North Cavolina.
Dr. Minor spoke on the susceptibility
of the Negro to tuberculosis. claiming
that his personal experience with
many Negroes, reaching over many
years, seemed to prove that Negroes
were more susceptible to the disease
than whites. But when questioned
carefully regarding this statement by
Bishop Warner of the A. M. E. Zion
ebureh Dr. Minor said that tie felt that
als statement had been proved and
yet could not be proved from existing
evidence,
UNITED SOUTH AFRICA.
Vivid Account of How South Africans
May Break England’s Power.
A recent private letter from a prom-
inent citizen of Pretoria, Sour Africa,
to friends in the United States gives
‘this clear and interesting account of
the measures now taking for the
formation of the new United States of
‘South Africa:
South Africa is again in the throes
of a big political revolution. We are
trying and, I believe, will succeed to
unify the whole English part of South
Africa, Cape Coleny, Natal, Orange
Free State and Transvaal, to form a
big federal or unified self goveruing
state (under the British flag of neces-
sity), the union parliament to be para-
mount, but the same as Canada, and
each state or colony to have its state
parliament under an administration
as you have it in the States and nee-
essarily a governor general to repre-
sent the king. This will make us a
strong people and well able to look
after our own interests. It is expect-
ed that General Botha will be the first
premier of United South Africa, and
the balance of power in the vew par-
liament will die with the Africanda,
or Boer, party. In the Cape Colony
they will retain the black vote, as the
colored population there Lave a quall-
fied franchise, which it is at present
difficult to take away from them, how-
ever much the other states are against
it. In the other states they have no
votes, and the union parliament may
disenfranchise the Cape blacks by a
vote of two-thirds majority afterward.
Personally 1 am against the black
vote, as in South Africa, when once
that principle is accepted, we wil! have
endless struggle, as they far outpum-
ber the white population, The Negroes
in your southern states are. | believe,
a coutinnous anxiety and trouble. And
here we have double and wore of thelr
number. One thing ts certains When
once United South Africa is an estab-
lished fact England will not be able to
dictate to us or levy an unholy war on
us, like the last time. That is a com:
fort anyway. Pretoria is to be the
capital of South -Afriea and seat of
government and Cape Town the seat
of the legislature. This, although un-
wieldy. was necessary to pacify the
Cape. The real power and capital
will be Pretoria, The national con-
vention is still sitting at Bloenfontain,
the capital of the Orance Free State.
to tix up minor details. When that ts
over the draft constitution will bave
to be submitted to the various colonial
parliaments for final approval. Should
that pass then we will be known as
“the United States of Sonth Africa,”
or, as they bave it in the draft con-
stitution, “United South Africa.” With
this, I believe, a tide of prosperity will
| set in for South Africa.

It was the good fortune of our peo
ple in Brooklyn, N. Y., recently to bear
the Rev, Charles T. Walker, the noted
pulpit orator and Jecturer of Augusta,
Ga., speak ov “Some Factors of the
Race Problem” at the Bridge Street
A.M. E, chureb. The audience was
large and listened attentively to what
Dr. Walker said. which in part was
as follows:
“I believe it to be the duty of every
nan and wountn to belp fallen buman-
ity. The working people are the boue
and sinew of every country. The
word gentleman does not occur fu the
Bible from beginning to end. Christ
did not bare one of them among bis
disciples; but, on the other hand, they
were all Industrious men. As a people
we twust continue to be industrious.
We have got to learn to be rigidly eeo-
nomical. We spend too much money

something if we bope to touch the

tween the northern and southern
Negro Is that the latter has learned
that business Is the key to success,
and be is bending all of bis energies

you northern colored people to take a

Last Sunday was a very significant day to the A. M. E. church. After having made some very beautiful and substantial repairs on the church, the pastor, Rev. J. B. Holmes, and his congregation planned to use Sunday as their reopening day.
Rev. A. M. Ward of Denver was invited to preach at 3 p. m., and he came, bringing a large number of his congregation. The congregation enjoyed the earnest, spiritual sermon delivered by him and also the splendid music rendered by the choir. The entire service was impressive, and we feel greatly indebted to the good people of Denver, both for their presence and for their kindly response to our call for finances.
The Rev. H. Franklin Bray of Phoenix, Ariz., delivered a powerful sermon in the evening. An appreciative congregation listened to his words of advice and encouragement. Special music was rendered by the choir and the evening service closed a very befitting celebration of the day.
On Thursday evening a musical concert will be given at the A. M. E. church by Mrs. L. H. Peach, the popular soloist of Denver. It is hoped that a large audience will greet her.

MISS LUCRETIA BURNS SAYS GOOD-BYE.
Monday night, with their residence lit up with brilliant lights, mirth, laughter and other summer entertainment. Miss Lucretia gave a farewell
party to Miss Winifred Morton, one of the most charming and fascinating young ladies that have ever visited Denver. She came from Atchison, Kan., about three weeks ago to visit Denver and as a guest of Mr. William Price. While here no lady has received more favors and has been more congenial than she. Miss Morton is a teacher in the schools in Atchison and is her blind brother's support. Miss Burns and her guests did themselves honor. The crowd was composed of some of the most representative men and women of the younger set in Denver. The affair will always be a marked event for a source of pleasing reflection.
R. M'GREW TICKLED.
There was never any man in Denver tickled as much as was K. McGrew of 610 Logan avenue, when his wife suddenly walked in upon him Saturday afternoon. She came from St. Louis, his former home, and will remain indefinitely. Mr. McGrew is treating all the boys because of his happiness.

‘Lhe appellate division had before tt
the order of Justice Dugro setting
aside the verdict of the jury. Without
comment on his opinions it affirmed
his order, and again the matter was
taken before it. A decision was hand-
ed down in which the court very dis-
tinctly announced that it does not in-
dorse the opinions of the supreme
court justice. This is what the ap-
pellate division had to say:
“This is a motion for a reargument
of an appeal to this court from an or-
der of the trial term setting aside a
verdict and ordering a new trial in an
action for malicious prosecution. There
ig no ground for a reargument. This
court upon mature deliberation and
discussion affirmed the order appealed
from by a vote of 3 to 2. The affirm-
ance by this court without an opinion
of an order of the trial court, made in
the exercise of its discretion, setting
aside the verdict of a jury is not to be
taken as an approval in any degree of
the expression of the trial court of its
views in colloquy. with counsel. All
that is determined is that this court
has declined to reverse an order made
in the discretion of the trial term di-
recting a new trial, upon which new
trial all the issues are to be presented
de novo to another jury. The motion
is denied, with $10 costs.”
MORAL REFORM NEEDED.
Race—Dr. Tindley Suggests Remedy.
The Beacon Light institute at Phil-
adelphia has for its main object the
civic and moral betterment of Afro-
Americans. It is carried on by the
Second Emancipation league, of which
the Rey. C. A. Tindley is president.
In certain sections of most large cities
our people ure very numerous by rea-
son of high rents for better living quar-
ters which the majority are unable to
pay. And, again, there is an element
of our people that seem determined
to carouse and hang around the street
corners. Dr. Tindley has wisely sug-
gested that in such commuxities ind!-
vidual committees should be formed
whose duty it should be to conduct
crusades of persuasion among the ob-
jectionable element with the hope of
reforming them in manners and mor-
als. We would like to see such com-
mittees formed in ali the large cities
throughout the United States where
such conditions exist. If this street
corner element cannot be persuaded
to keep’ off, then legal steps should be
taken to make them do so. These
street corner gangs are damning the
trace.—Dodson.
Honor For George W. Mattocks.
George W. Mattocks, who has ably
conducted the Varick Christian En-
deavor society of the Fleet Street A.
M. E. Zion church tn Brooklyn, N. Y.,
for ten successive years, declined a re-
nomination at the annual election of
officers recently held. During the ten
years of Mr. Mattock’s regime the so-
ciety has kept abreast of the times. A
testimonial of appreciation for his faith-
ful services will be tendered Mr. Mat-
tocks soon.
Negroes Own Hospital.
The uwew sanitarium and _ hospital
which was recently opened for the
reception of patients at New Orleans
is one of the few institutions of its
kind owned, operated and support-
ed by our people in the United States.
It is called the Negro Baptist sanita-
rium. Mayor Bolirman delivered an
encouraging address on the opening
day.
IMPORTANCE OF NEGRO LABOR
As Soldiers andniaGtriatis Workmen
the Negro Has Done His Part.
E. A. Johnson, a New York lawyer,
was the principal speaker at the re
cent Fourth of July celebration at the
Carlton avenue branch of the Brook-
lyn Young Men's Christian association.
Counselor Johnson spoke on “The Re-
lation of the Afro-American to the
Nation.” He reviewed the history of
the race aud the part it took in all of
the wars down to the war of the re-
bellion. He then said: “Coming down
the line we find the Negro actively
and bravely engaged in the civil war.
The victories achieved at Lexington,
Petersburg and Gettysburg are all in
part due to the valiant fighting of the
black man. In 1620 twenty of us were
brought over from Africa and landed
at Jamestown, Va. Such acceptable
workmen did we prove that they sent
for more of us.
“We begun to work then, and we
have been working ever since. It was
my privilege in April to travel from
New York to Goldsboro, N. C., travel-
ing mainly through the cotton fields”
of the south, and I never saw a half.
dozen white men engaged in that line
of work, but everywhere colored labor :
was in evidence. Thers is the salva-
tion of the country. Cotton is king.
This country was founded on worth
and ideas, and the spirit of justice can
only live by adhering to the principles
upon which the country was founded.
Countries, like individuals, must not
only start right, but keep right. 1 be-
lieve in the ultimate triumph of truth.
Although we are the victims of harsh
and discouraging criticism by our
friends all over the United States and
particularly in the southland, I can
see the handwriting on the wall. The
kingdoms of prejudice must divide—
must fall. In forty-five years we have
decreased our illiteracy from 99 per
cent to 45 per cent and have increased
our taxable earnings from absolutely
nothing to very nearly $800,000,000.
The work of educating the youth of
this race devolves wholly upon us.
We cannot solve the problem by talk.
but by work and common sense. What
this country is teday fs largely due to
the labor of the Negro. We are a part
of this nation, we have helped to make
it what it is. and we are going to help
keep it up to the high standard it has
attained.”

League Arming For Self Defense.
The political pot is beginning to
steep among Afro-Americans in Brook-
lyn, N. Y., and ft is said that before
many weeks more {t will be boiling.
The Colored Republican League of
Kings County is authority for the
statement that the man who captures
the Negro vote next fall must take a
decided stand in favor of appointing
colored men to responsible positions on
the basis of their numerical strength
and fitness for the places on equal
terms and in satisfactory numbers
with other men.
The league is also openly and bitter-
ly opposed to Judge Dugro of New
York and anybody that looks like bim,
for it says officially that the judge
in his recent decision in. the Griffin
case insulted the whole race without
cause. The league will call upon all
voters who are In favor of a square
deal and an equal share of patronage
for actual work to stand together as
one man and make their votes count
for something.

TIME TO FORM ALLIANCES.
Negroes Must Root For Themselves In Politics or Get Left.
The realignment of political parties and the revision of political creeds and policies are steadily going on. Leading northern politicians from the president down are making alliances with leading southern politicians, evidently for purposes of offense and defense. The white men of the north and of the south are growing closer to each other, and the former is growing away from the Negro, who has been his most faithful ally. It is now time for the Negro to begin to form alliances and to make terms and friendship with those who have always antagonized him because of blind adherence to and loyal support of those who are now endeavoring to unload him. If the Negro is wise he will quickly make terms with the best whites of the south—the class with whom the president of the United States is seeking to make some terms—in order that peace and harmony between the races in that section will be the rule rather than the exception.
If Negroes and their leaders permit white men to make all the terms in the deals for political power and supremacy they will wake up some morning to find white men north and south united against them politically. The Negroes must save themselves now. Tomorrow will be too late. If they cannot take the hints which have already been given them to root for themselves they will deserve all that is coming to them.
THE NEGRO IS ADVANCING.
The Race In Georgia Owns Millions In Property Holdings.
Whatever progress may or may not have been made by the Negro along intellectual lines, it is apparent from figures found in the latest volume of the studies of Atlanta university on the Negro problem that the colored race in Georgia at least has been advancing steadily by way of property holdings. According to these figures, Georgia Negroes in 1875 owned property to the assessed value of $5,393,885. In 1880 their holdings had increased to $5,764,293 and in 1885 to $8,153,390. In 1890 the Negroes of the state held property assessed at $12,322,003, and in 1895 this had increased to $12,941,230. In 1900 the property owned by Negroes was valued at $14,118,720, and in 1905 their holdings represented $20,616,468. Negro property owners in Georgia in 1907 were assessed $25,904,822. Obviously the Negro is advancing in the property line at least.—Manchester (N. H.) Union.
Progressive Afro-Americans.
In Jacksonville, Fla., there are fourteen Afro-American physicians, ten graduated pharmacists, eight drug stores, sixteen trained nurses, two dentists, two banks, two industrial insurance companies, two newspapers and six lawyers, and they are getting on splendidly and successfully. There are also 185 churches, ten public schools and three denominational schools, all in a flourishing condition. In spite of the many schools, there are hundreds of mean, impudent, worthless youths roaming the streets at will who never attend any kind of school except that which leads to crime, degradation and destruction. The time is now at hand for reckoning.

CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE.
To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 18, 19 and 20, 1909—Fine Program—Side Trip to Mammoth Cave
The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Louisville, in "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the league at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this league has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the league's constantly increasing membership.
The league welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the local committee for the benefit of delegates.
The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a rare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the league and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality.
What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the state of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that state since the emancipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia! printed copies will soon be available.
Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville city council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world.
STATE MEETING
To the Members of the Colorado State Negro Business League and Negroes Throughout Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona Who Are Interested in the Material, Moral and Mental Uplift of the Race.
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
Greeting:—The time for holding the fifth annual session of the Colorado State Negro Business League is fixed for July 27-28 and the place changed from Boulder to Denver. Let all the members of the league govern themselves accordingly and be present at the roll call at 10 a.m. on the 27th. There will be much very important business to be attended to at this session, business that will require the best brain and thought of the entire membership. The Negro Townsite company, which was launched by the league at our last session, is now a living reality and a full report will be made at this session. Much remains to be done and great reward awaits those who have a part in the doing. Arizona has had a great commercial awakening and good reports will be presented at our meeting. I leave here on the 19th for a tour in the interest of our league and will speak in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, arriving at Denver in time for the opening session. Let us agitate all along the line and make the Denver meeting the best in the history of the league.
Send all communications to W. A. Gatewood, Secretary, 2010 Curtis street, Denver, Colo. Yours for God, the church and race, H. FRANKLIN BRAY, President.

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."

To the Editor of The Statesman:
Dear Sir—I noticed an article in your paper on the date of the 17th inst. that was headed, "Help Our Own." I read the article over and then I thought it over, and I believe that it may do some good in one direction any way. The writer made the attempt to show to the two local organizations their short sightedness and also to point out their short comings without any knowledge of the truthfulness of some of the assertions contained in the article. I agree with the writer that neither of these organizations have done all that they might have done. And why? This writer failed to say, or else they don't know. We all know that Christ died to save the world, but he can't save a single man against his will to be saved. It is just as impossible for either of these clubs to be of any service to these young men named or to any other unless they show a willingness on their part to be helped or worthy of whatever help that these clubs might render. Without this it is just like casting your pearls before swine. These young men that are named in the article, I wish to ask the writer, if they possess any rare musical ability? This I will answer in the affirmative. Then I wish to know to what clubs are they members of? Or to what church cnoir does the honor belong of having these young men identified and receiving the service of their talents? Before what kind of people are they continually pouring forth the sweet strains of music out of the richness of their young souls with all the vigor and youthfulness of their young lives? (Remember that wherever a man sow his grain, that is where he go to reap the harvest, and the harvest will be just what they have sown). Is it in the service of worship to the God who gave it, and to society as a stimulus to the younger ones to follow on to heights above? Os is it before the so-called good time fellows who can see nothing in the future only something that appeals to his peculiar feeling for a good time, whatever that might be? These and many other questions would furnish good and wholesome food for thought along this line. But on the other side of the picture I see where the various clubs, societies, etc., can be of great help to the individual who will become identified with it, give his help and assistance toward perfecting it in order that he may receive his reward when the time is at hand. Let us be willing to labor in seed time in order that we share in the harvest, for no man receives his reward until after the labor. Join the I. G. A. or the Choral Club, whatever your calling may be; help them to boost the other fellow and you will surely reap if you faint not. Yours truly,
FRIEND.

of the gospel in the whole Western country, in the person of Rev. J. H. Hubbard, one of the oldest and best known of the minsters of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Some seven weeks ago he returned to the city to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Esther Morris, after having spent a while in California with his other children in a vain hope to improve his health. From that time he has constantly failed, and at last the Angel of Death brought an end to his sufferings in the close of the 71st year of his life. His last days were spent as becomes a Christian warrior in brightening up the old armor that had done him such good and faithful service for a life time. Prayer was his constant solace and though in this life, yet his eyes were fixed on his Heavenly home toward which he had journeyed long.
The funeral services were held at Shorter church and were attended by the entire clergy of the city, they serving as pall bearers also. Presiding Elder Owens, a life-long friend, preached the sermon. The service was most touching. The children present were Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Williamson of Los Angeles. These by the ties of blood were attached to him, but there were hundreds of sorrowing ones among whom as shepherd of the flock he had gone in and out for years, comforting in hours of sorrow, exhorting to the higher life in their lighter moments, a friend in sickness, uniting in marriage. His remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery by Undertaker Gilmore.
While grieving over his loss, yet it is rather to rejoice we should tend, for he fought the good fight, he had finished his course and could only attain the full triumph of faith through the chill waters of death. He leaves to the family and friends who are bereaved, and to the cause of the church the priceless heritage of a life spent in righteousness. For seven years just preceding his death up until his bodily powers would not permit him to serve longer, he was presiding elder of this district. In years before that he had served every principal churc hin the conference. His more than forty years in the ministry were largely spent in the Colorado conference, and his services for it have been recognized by repeated elections to conference offices. He was one of its most efficient secretaries. So that while we grieve, yet we rejoice that he has lived and that he has died only after he has contributed of the best he had. His life work completed, he has gone to give his accounting, Servant of God, well done!
Persons sending in news will please bear in mind that names of people are hard to get correctly from hand writing.

Thursday Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons paid $2,000 and interest on the property they are buying at 22nd and Arapahoe streets. It was purchased a year ago at a cost of $7,000, and a first payment of $3,700 was made, leaving a mortgage indebtedness of $3,300. In one year's time they have paid on the principal $2,700, leaving only $00 mortgage against it at this time. This wonderful showing is in some measure due to the encouragement which they have received from the public. The substantial encouragement of liberal patronage of the lodge entertainments has aided in the quick clearing off of the debt. The picnic last week was the largest ever given in the city, 1,034 persons actually passing through the gates. A profit of nearly $300 was made on it. There have been plans for a building made by a colored architect which are excellent in all respects, and it may be that when the building is completed, it will represent Negro brain in all particulars.

SCOTT'S NOTES.
The services last Sunday were very interesting. The pastor preached about "The Great Merchant." Revelation 3:18.
The class and prayer meetings continue to grow in interest and attendance. Class No. 2 carried off the banner last Wednesday evening. Mr. W. S. Evans is the leader.
Rev. J. N. Wallace will leave for the District Conference Tuesday night. He is on the program to deliver the welcome address in answer to the honorable mayor of Independence, Kan.
Mr. F. D. McPherson, the first vicepresident of the Epworth League, will render a program for his department next Sunday evening. The League gives a free social August 3rd. Friends and strangers are cordially invited. The pastor will lecture, "Top, Bottom or Which?" on this occasion.
Mrs. W. A. Bobo will read a paper on "The Negro in the Methodist Episcopal Church" at the District Conference next week. This paper will be printed so as to give the people an idea as to the status of the Negro in the Methodist Episcopal church.
Don't forget the Sunday school outing at Littleton, that beautiful picnic spot, on August 5th. Mr. J. D. Rice is making large preparations to give the little folks a genuine good time on this occasion. Members of the other Sunday schools who desire to take in this picnic are invited to attend. Plenty of sport for the youngsters.
The Ladies' Aid was entertained last Thursday by Mrs. Edna Collier and Mrs. Anna Rice. The Ladies' Aid voted to meet twice a month. The president, Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale, is preparing to give another fair. The last one proved to be a great success beyond all expectations. This Society is paying the current expenses of the church.
The drama which was presented by the choir Tuesday was a success. There is some real dramatical talent in our city. The audience was enthusiastic from the beginning to the end and showed real interest in the plot. The following young people covered themselves with glory Misses Lella Rice, Carrie Carr, Jennive Marks, Messrs. Roy Brown, J. D. Rice. The choir will repeat this interesting drama at one of the other churches in the near future.
The Woman's Home Missionary Society will turn out with the other missionary societies of the city next Monday at the annual outing of the ministers of the city. Mrs. Anna McPherson is the president of this new society.
Mrs. G. W. Anderson has begun to practice the young people for a concert which will be given at Scott's. This effort will be given to help raise money for the annual rally which takes place August 29th.
The Official Board has changed the date of the rally from September 5th to the last Sunday in August. At this time the clubs are requested to report $800 to apply on their mortgage. The clubs have begun active work.
Mrs. Benj. Givens is ill.
