Some Noted Vocalists of the Race Who Have Evinced Their Ability as Interpreters of Classical Music—Success of Mrs. Daisy Tapley and Miss Minnie Brown. By N. B. DODSON. If I were called upon to write a dissertation on the beneficent art of music as it has impressed me from the lips of some great vocalists and the fingers of some gifted musicians whom I have heard, I would be compelled first to quote the words of one of the past masters in that art who once said, "I care not who makes the laws of the people, but let me make their songs." Away back in the wilds of Egypt the natives caught the sound of sweet music in the wind as it whistled through the reeds on the banks of the river Nile. Music is coeval w. th the creation of man. The most ancient references to its sublime influence and consoling power are found in Holy Writ, from which we learn much of A. MRS. DAISY TAPLEY. the musical proclivities of the Hebrews. In Rome music as an art was borrowed from the Greeks, and while she stood in the pride of superiority as the mistress of all nations music The Inner Life Must Be Changed Aim of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua In Course of Erection at Durham Under the Supervision of Dr. James E. Shepard. Wealthy Men Co-operate. By GEORGE F. KING. Experience has shown and history bears witness to the fact that in every crisis of a race or nation God always has in reserve a man or person to meet the emergency. While Afro-Americans have made commendable progress along most all lines of human endeavor to uplift themselves, no particular effort has heretofore been made to give the young men and women of the race such religious training in toto as would fit them for the best possible service to themselves and the race. The idea of Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N. C., to erect a national religious training school and Chautauqua at Durham for the above purpose has met with almost universal approval and is an assured fact. Dr. Shepard says, "Make a man practically religious and the industrial and educational side will take care of itself." His plans for such a movement, similar to Winona Lake in ludiana and the Moody Bible-school at Northfield, Mass., he sets forth as follows: First. -To train men and women in the Bible and thus change the inner life and with this life changed send them to change others. Second.—It is also planned to have a literary department especially adapted for the illiterate minister. The ministers of the Negro race are the real leaders of the race and for the next three or four generations will remain so. There are about 30,000 of them in the United States. A safe estimate is that only 10 per cent, or 3,000, are educated, leaving 27,000 yet to be J. RE. JAMES E. SHEPARD. reached. These 27,000 largely control the future of 8,000,000 people. In many instances these ministers are seeking the light. They cannot spend a long time in college, and hence a practical course must be arranged to suit their needs. They must be made discontented with the old way and seek a better one. Third. - A special course for Sunday school teachers. The Sunday schools will be the largest and most potent force in shaping the future of the race, and yet the schools already established are neglecting it. The hope of the race lies it THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. the salvation of the young. Specially trained teachers must do the work if it is to be effective. A course covering a definite period will bring the only permanent results. Fourth.-Settlement work will be attempted in several communities and the results given to the public. Fifth.-A special course designed for the training of young men and women to do the work required by the Young Men's Christian association will be established. With properly trained men and women ready for service this great arm of helpful work will do more for the masses. President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt, governors of various states and prominent men of the country have highly commended and indorsed the movement. A site of land consisting of twenty-five acres in one of the most beautiful locations in the city of Durham, N. C., has been given for the erection of the school. Upon this site will be erected three stately structures, consisting of two dormitories, auditorium and administration buildings, which will cost between $15,000 and $20,000 each. Mr. Brodie Duke donated the site for the school, and thousands of dollars have been already subscribed. General Julian S. Carr, who is one of the wealthiest men in the south, has accepted the office of treasurer of the trustee board. The advisory committee consists of the following prominent men: Mr. D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte, N. C.; Judge J. C. Pritchard, Asheville, N. C.; General Julian S. Carr, Durham, N. C.; Hon. N. B. Broughton, Raleigh, N. C.; Senator Lee S. Overman, Washington; Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington; Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, New York city; Dr. Floyd A. Tompkins, Philadelphia; Mr. John L. Williams, Richmond, Va.; Dr. H. M. Hamill, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. John A. Earle, Chicago; General B. W. Green, Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Cincinnati; Dr. J. B. Dudley, Greensboro, N. C.; John Merrick, Durham, N. C. Return of Professor G. H. Jones. Prominent among the visitors in Brooklyn and New York recently was Professor Gilbert H. Jones of Wilberforce, O., who is returning from Germany, where he spent the past few years in the University of Goettingen and the University of Jena, respectively. On graduating from the latter the university conferred upon him the degree of Ph. D. Prior to going to Germany Professor Jones graduated from Wilberforce university and from Dickinson college, respectively, where he received the degrees of A. B., Ph. D. and A. M. Miss Carter Touring the West. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., who is on a lecturing tour of the west in the interest of club work among the women of the race, is meeting with great success. Miss Carter is president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs of the United States. She will go as far west as California and Salt Lake, where she will lecture under the auspices of the Women's Progressive club and the Art and Music club of that city. These clubs are members of the national association. Things Looking Rosy In Virginia. It would not shock Afro-Americans generally if a Republican landslide swept over Virginia this fall, judging from the way things look at the present time. Such is not by any means impossible, because our men have made up their minds to cast their ballot or die in the attempt. They are right. Either we are citizens, entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizens, or we are not, and the sooner this question is settled the better it will be for the United States. Boston to Greet Negro Doctors. The National Medical Association Will Be the Guest of Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Society at Its Annual Convention In Parker Hall, Aug. 24. The annual convention of the National Medical association, which is com- posed of AfroAmerican physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists in the United States, will be held in Boston, beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 24, for three days. The association will be the guest of the Bay State Medical. Dental and Pharmaceutical society, which is PETER H. DR. JOHN B. HALL. societ, which is the pioneer and only organization of its kind in New England among our professional men. It was organized in June, 1906. It had its inception in the thrift and industry of Dr. John B. Hall at an impromptu banquet which was given in his honor on the eve of his marriage. Several months ago the Bay State Medical society called together all the Afro-American doctors of New England, most of whom are in Massachusetts, as a committee on arrangements and reception of the delegates and visitors for the coming session. A local committee was organized with Dr. William C. Lane as chairman, Dr. H. C. Ross vice chairman, Dr. T. E. A. MacCurdy secretary and Rev. M. A. N. Shaw treasurer. Dr. C. N. Garland, the first chairman, was displaced and Dr. Lane substituted. Dr. MacKerron was recommended to the National Medical association as vice president for Massachusetts. Dr. Patrick was president in 1908 and Dr. E. I. Wright, a prominent den- tist, was secretary. Dr. H. MacKerron of Worcester was twice vice president, which position was held last year by Dr. C. W. Harrison, a doctor born, bred and educated in Boston. At the election in June of this year Dr. John B. Hall was elected presi JOHN H. HARRIS Gilbert, a successful dentist in Malden, Mass., who enjoys a large practice among white persons, vice president; Dr. E. I. Wright, secretary; Dr. S. J. Frewell, assistant secretary; Dr. C. W. Harrison, treasurer; councilors, Drs. William C. Lane, M. A. N. Shaw and A. C. Dunning. Drs. S. E. Courtney and I. L. Roberts are also prominent members of the society. Considerable interest has been shown by the citizens of the state, and especially of Boston and suburbs, who have given of their means to assist in entertaining the convention. Besides the regular sessions at Parker Memorial PAGE. 10 hall and clinics at several big hospitals, there are to be a public reception at Faneuil hall and a ball and banquet at one of the largest halls in the city. There is also to be an outing, given by the ladies to the visitors. It looks as if the Boston convention will be a great success. The Bay State Medical society, the social committee, the citizens' committee, of which D. E. Brown, Esq., is president, will be on hand to receive and entertain the visiting doctors. Boston is justly proud of its Afro-American doctors' permanent organization, the Bay State Medical society. Dr. William C. Lane, the oldest in practice of any Afro-American doctor in Massachusetts, was the first president of the organization. Dr. Thomas W. Patrick, proprietor of the only school of pharmacy run by an Afro-American in the state, and Dr. H. C. Ross, a prominent dentist, issued the call to the doctors of the state for a general meeting, which resulted in the organization of the Bay State Medical. Dental and Pharmaceutical society. At that time, however, many of the doctors hesitated about joining, fearing that it would look too much like drawing the color line, since they were not barred from the Massachusetts Medical society. The question of color DR. WILLIAM C. LANE. had nothing to do with the formation of the society, as was made clear to the public at its organization. Well Known Chattanooga Lawyer. Pioneer Social Club's Outing. The Business Men's Pioneer Social club of Jersey City held its annual outing at College Inn pavilion. North Beach, N. Y., a few days ago and had an enjoyable time. It was an invitation affair and was conducted upon a very high schedule. Those who were in charge of the arrangements were Lawyer E. R. Hayne, John L. Matthews, C.

The National Independent Political League In Executive Committee Meeting Says President's Policy Toward the Negro Is the Most Baneful Stab Ever Inflicted by a Chief Executive. The executive committee of the National Independent Political league, of which Bishop Alexander Walters in president, held its first meeting since the last annual session, which was held in Columbus, O., in May of this year, at the residence of the president, 208 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, New York, Aug. 3 and 4. The meeting was largely attended by members and visitors from both in and out of town. Like the little pioneer group of abolitionists of other years who labored with pen and tongue, often at the risk of their own lives, to convince America that slavery was wrong and a curse, a black spot upon the escutcheon of human liberties, so the men of the National Independent Political league are laboring, and further also to prevent just what the act of the Boston tea party meant-taxation without representation. The final work of the committee was adopted in the form of an open letter addressed to the president of the United States, as follows: National Independent Political League, Office of the President, 208 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Street, New York City, Aug. 2, 1909. To His Excellency, President William H. Taft, White House, Washington: My Dear Sir—It is with a deep sense of the importance of your exalted office and the tremendous influence attached there to we address you this open letter. In your inaugural address you say, "The objects of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments have been secured." In view of the clause of the latter requiring reduction of congressional representation in proportion as adult males are barred from voting and since the disfranchisement in the south of nine-tenths of the adult colored males is a notorious fact, how does the present full congressional quota of the states square with your statement? You say that, "while the fifteenth amendment has not been observed in the south, it ought to be observed." Was it not your duty as president of the United States, sworn to uphold the federal law, to say the fifteenth amendment must be enforced and that you would enforce it? You say "the movement to give the Negro the suffrage as a protection and enforce it against the prevailing sentiment of the south proved to be a failure." Would it not be more in accord with the facts to say that the failure was on the part of the federal government under Republican administration to put forth any effort to enforce the Negro's right to vote under the constitution? You say further "the fifteenth amendment will never be repealed." If, as you say, it is not observed, is it not as to practical effect and protection already repealed? In view of the progress of the Negro during the last fifty years, which you say "is marvelous," would it not have been more just in you to have demanded for him that equality before the law and the right to vote vouchsafed to him by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments rather than, as you did, to encourage their nullifiers? Why as the nation's president speak of the appointment of colored men to office as "an encouragement and appreciation of their progress" rather than the right of citizenship? You finally say the chief executive in appointing colored men should consider whether the hostility of the white men in the south will not do the colored people more harm than the appointment will do THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. them good. Is not this equivalent to declaring against a president's appointing colored men where white men object and therefore a drawing of the color line? Is not this a violation of the genius and spirit of the federal constitution? What right has a president in making appointments to presume to decide a candidate's fate by his own views of the effects on the candidate's race? Is it not a vicious principle, subversive of free institutions, to put one class of citizens at the mercy of another in the matter of having employment under the federal government? Is not this a denial of citizenship based on race and color, and would not the same rule, logically applied, deprive the colored citizen of every right, civil, political and industrial? Is not your policy an invitation to white prejudice and avarice everywhere to assert itself? Colored men should receive appointments to office by the president as citizens and party members exactly as are all other citizens without any consideration of their color and the section where they live. Among the colored people your policy is regarded as the most baneful stab that ever came from the hand of a chief executive. It has caused the body of the country's colored population to bleed with disappointment. The effect of your policy upon the south over whites has been even more serious. The south accepts your policy as a high vindication of all its unjust dealings with the colored citizens of the country; hence they feel emboldened to propagate their prejudices and unjust treatment of the colored people, even in the sections where the two races have hitherto lived together in comparative peace, and whatever progress was being made toward an amicable solution of the burning race problem has received a most serious setback and all its difficulties greatly increased, thus making the evils of your policy national in its scope. First Aid to the Bereaved in the time of the Death of Their Loved Ones 2552 Washington Street, Near Five Points Phone York 1473 We therefore appeal to you for a change of your policy as announced and thus far demonstrated. It is not platitudes and professions of sympathy that colored Americans and the republic need at this crisis, Mr. President, but loyalty to true American principles and enforcement of the laws.

PAGE. 16 MEN OF HONORABLE RECORD Lessons From the Life of Members of Masonic Order In Georgia. Grand Master E. R. Butler of the Masonic fraternity in Georgia said in a recent publication: "This is the fortieth year of our existence in the state as a body, and through this long period of time not a single member of the Masonic fraternity has been accused of the unmentionable crime or any other criminal act of a capital nature. I mention this to show the wonderful help derived from the teachings of the order upon our members. "Out of their little earnings they have sacrificed and have built halls in which they meet, simply to practice the rites of the order they love so well. Our white friends can rest assured that wherever they see one of these colored Masonic halls there they will find a humble but true temple erected to God and dedicated to the Masonic fraternity and to all the grand principles for which it stands. There they will find colored men that can be depended upon in any crisis to help observe and preserve law and order." Dr. Brooks Makes Clear Report. The report of the citizens' committee which had charge of the reception to the Tenth United States cavalry at New York recently showed contributions from churches, societies and individuals to the amount of $1,190.08. Dr. William H. Brooks, treasurer of the committee, submitted a written report of receipts and expenditures, the latter amounting to $1,171.25, which left a balance of $18.83.

A noted writer on economic and political questions at De Aar, South Africa, writing to the Review of Reviews of Australia on the native question in South Africa recently, said among other things: "That which applies to conditions in the southern states of America will also apply with equal force to conditions here. Only a short time ago when the question of the white and black races was being discussed by one of the leading legislators with a Bantu the latter said, 'When you do well to us, you do well to yourselves.' This sums up the philosophy of the whole matter." SPECIAL LOCALS SPECIAL LOCALS FOR RENT—Nicely furnished rooms at 3063 Welton street. Tel. Main 6046. FO RRENT—Six-room cottage.

We can well imagine its power of tenacity as we gaze upon that awful scene when Rome was on fire and her emperor, unmoved by the great calamity, which meant death to the inhabitants and destruction to the city, sat upon the heights fiddling over its ruins. Malibran, Alboni, Jenny Lind, Lucca and Cary need no monument to preserve to human memory their gifted voices. But the history of the Negro's part in the music of modern times has not so far been written. The names of such sweet singers as Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, known all over America as the "Black Swan;" Annie Pauline Pindell, Mme. Marie Sileka, Anna Madah and Emma Louise Hyers. Flora Batson-Bergen, Sisseretta Jones, Mme. S. E. Hackley, Mrs. Clough and Henry T. Burleigh are sufficient to warrant the Negro's claim to high class music. Among the many cultured Afro-American women of today who are devoting much time to the art and teaching of music in New York is Mrs. Daisy Tapley, a gifted contralto singer who has traveled extensively in Europe and America. Mrs. Tapley completed her studies under private tutors and has M. MISS MINNIE BROWN. appeared before many cultured audiences in old German, Italian and English songs. For the past two years she has devoted much time to piano and voice culture, with classes in and out of town. Another young woman who has captivated many brilliant audiences of both races by her melodious voice is Miss Minnie Brown of New York, who, with Mrs. Tapley, appeared in a high class musicale at Mother Zion church, in West Eighty-ninth street, New York, a few nights ago under the auspices of the Pastors' Aid society. They were recalled time and again as they sang "Poppies and Rosemary" and creole love songs. Miss Brown hails from Spokane, Wash., and will tour with the Bert Williams company the coming season. WASHINGTON'S PHILOSOPHY. Two Nubbins Which He Has Discovered In Southern White Men. Booker Taliaferro Washington, speaking at Hampton institute not long ago, said: "I can remember when we used to have 'corn shuckin's' in Virginia. Maybe none of you know anything about them, but I remember them very well. We had a great time finding the nubbins. Now, there are two or three THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD nubbins in connection with Negro life today. We may as well face the fact that many of the white people—and honest ones, too—are not in favor of the education of the colored race. Now, we cannot change their opinion by abuse or by argument. The only way to change it is by object lessons. We must give them credit for honesty in their opinions. There is a white gentleman I know in my county in Alabama. He is my friend, one who would grant me any personal favor. He would risk his life for me. But he would look me in the face and say, 'Washington, I don't believe in Negro education.' He is honest. There is one of the nubbins. "The average southerner is never going to be enthusiastic over Negro education until he sees the advantage of it in his own surroundings. That is the second nubbin. "We must remember that all the education any one can get has no value until we harness it to something. As we harness a horse to the plow, so we must harness our education to work—harness it to our work in the kitchen, to our work in the laundry, to our work on the farm, to make us prompt in keeping our word, to make us come Monday morning when we have promised to be there. And when we do this millions will be poured out in the south for the education of the black man. I have no patience with anybody who wants the Negro kept in ignorance. I do not believe that the white race in the south wants to keep the black race in ignorance and degradation for the sake of showing its own superiority." SCHOOL EXEMPT FROM TAXES Judge True Rules In Favor of Western University. Wyandotte county, Kan., has been enjoined from collecting taxes from Western university at Quindaro, Kan. The injunction was granted by Judge L. C. True of the second division of the Wyandotte county district court. The university brought action under a statute of Kansas exempting real estate belonging to or used by an educational institution from taxation. This ruling frees the university from taxation forever. The Western university owns a tract of ground of seventy acres on the bluff near Quindaro. The industrial department of the school is maintained by the state of Kansas by an annual appropriation of $35,000. Most of the buildings were built by the state and are upon state property. The land exempted is the campus of the university. NEW FRATERNAL ORDER. The Royal Shepherd Incorporated For Business and Social Advancement Perhaps the latest organization of a business character in Boston is the supreme council of the Royal Shepherd, an order chartered under the laws of Massachusetts for the purpose of fraternal union. It admits to membership both male and female persons who can comply with the rules and regulations of the organization in accordance with its charter. The financial benefits to be derived from the institution are divided into two classes, A and B. The supreme council has also provided a sinking fund of $2,000 with which to meet any emergency which may arise while the order is in its infancy. This fund will be increased from time to time as the business grows. W. H. Granberry is founder and president. VICTOR WALKER, Pres. ..Soci First Class Resort 1859 CH TWO JIM'S ..Social Club..

The report of the fresh air work of the New York Colored mission, in West Thirtieth street, for the month of July, 1909, tells an interesting story of the joy and benefit which those sent to the country have received. Individual instances of thankful appreciation and of longing for the fresh air trips by those who have been once add a touching note to the story of the work. In July the mission sent out parties to Milford Haven, Conn., Mount Kisco, N. Y.; Red Bank and Elizabeth, N. J., and as invited guests, through Dr. John Bancroft Devins, to Chambersburg, Pa., and Albion, N. Y. On all, so far, twelve mothers, forty-eight boys and fifty-seven girls have been taken on these trips. Dr. Devins has furnished tickets for the Mount Kisco parties and for the specially invited boys and girls, but all other expenses of board and transportation have been borne by the mission. The first beneficiary was a tuberculous lad of sixteen. He had been suffering from hemorrhage and had to quit work. His mother came to the mission weeping, saying. "My boy has come home to die." Instead he was sent to Elizabeth, N. J., for three weeks. He regained strength and has now gone back to work again. The party which went to Milford Haven, Conn., stayed nine days. This party included twelve big boys. They slept in tents at Camp Bleecker and were fairly delighted with their reception and entertainment. With almost wondering animation they reported on their return, "Why, Mr. Leach said he would like for us all to come again!" HAPPY COMPARISON. Hypocrisy of Vermonters Nailed by Eagle In Ringing Editorial. If straws show the direction in which the wind blows, this editorial from the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Daily Eagle means much to thoughtful Afro-Americans who are watching the trend of public sentiment for and against them in the United States. The Eagle says: "It is to be hoped that the people of Burlington, Vt., will be shamed from their foolish opposition to having the Tenth regiment stationed at Fort Ethan Allen by the cordial reception which was extended to those colored soldiers on their landing. "If Burlington were a southern city the attitude taken there would be easily understood and reasonable because of local conditions. But the idea that 600 colored soldiers of good record would be a nuisance stationed outside of a northern town of 20,000 people is too preposterous to be listened too patiently. Now that the real people in Vermont have had time to take breath it is to be hoped they will have the grace to be ashamed of the protests which have been made in their name. If they behave as well as the members of the Tenth the chance for trouble in the neighborhood of Fort Ethan Allen will be of the slightest." New Political Club Organized. The Fourth ward has the largest Negro vote of any in Cambridge, Mass. There has been recently organized a political club to be known as the Fourth Ward Colored Men's Political club. The club has fifty members, with W. H. Lee as president and John T. Harrison secretary. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P. E.

They took especial interest in Club No. 9’s entertainment, given by Mr. Morgan Jackson. Every person who missed the illus- trated sermon at Campbell A. M. E. church certainly missed a treat. The thrilling, yet commonplace, scenes en- acted daily in our lives were put to you in such a strong and emphatic way as to make a deep impression upon the mind and heart. You may say it was to cause the emotions to be stirred, yet even by that process the mind could not have resisted that pow- erful message Sunday night. The house was crowded and scores stood up {o be prayed for. and some joined the church. Rey.

Too much honor can not be given him for his valuable service to this city and his congregation loves him all the more | tor his timely efforts.

The sermon being unique and an ‘innovation proved itself a blessing. | One of the prettiest house parties ‘ever given in the district was given ‘by Mr. and Mrs. R. C, Wagner in honor of their nieces, Misses M. | Fisher and W. Nixon. The house was beautifully decorated with carnations and sweet peas. Cards and dancing | were the amusements of the evening.

This club ts one of the best known between the Mississippi river and the coast, and it straveling membership, to say noth- ing of the home members, are rejoic- ing over the happy chance that has given them such officers or their pleasure home. A storm that seriously imperiled life and destroyed thousands of dol- lars worth of property, devastating Bloomfield Park for the time being, struck the city last Saturday and broke up in confusion the closing ex- ercises of the Grand Lodge of the U.

C. Williams having extended an invitation to this august body some time ago will gladly reecive the repre- sentatives of the Gospel for the next month. The Union continues to grow in interest and attendance. The Grand Rally of Scott's Metho- dist Episcopal church was announced for the fifth Sunday in this mozth, All of the ministers will be invited to serve some part on the program, which will be printed next week. This effort will be for the making of a pay- ment on the church debt. The Y. M. C. B. Rally will take place Sunday at the Zion Baptist church at 3:30 p. m. The Rey. A. M. Ward will preach the rally sermon. The Minis- ters’ Club is called the “Boosters’ Club,” with Rev. W. C. Williams as captain. The preachers will do their part, as they always do, even if it ‘causes a little sacrifice of some of the necessities of life. The reports from the various jan showed a decided increase ‘in the regular attendance with a few exceptions, There are several strang- ‘ers in the city and these go to swell the regular attendance. The Mite Missionary Society is mak- ing the initial effort to form a federa- ‘tion of all of the Missionary Societies ‘of the city. This is the right move ment in the right direction. The first meeting of this new venture will be s at the Shorter A. M. E. church eae evening and then at the va- rious churches which come into the federation in the future.

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.

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."

For this Aeolian crater vomits flame persistently and cinders spasmodically. The "lighthouse of the Mediterranean" has been known to stick to its function of torch-bearer for the space of 2,000 years. Whenever the tiny, regular eruption takes place the stones drop back again into the crater. While the ancients regarded Stromboli variously as the smithy of Vulcan and the headquarters of Aeolus, the men of the middle ages looked upon it as the main highway of purgatory. Dresden. In Dresden I began to realize that the charm of Leipsic lay in the quaint atmosphere of its old buildings, among which even trade had grown romantic, in the airiness of the many squares, in a village-like flavor of homely intimacy caught amid the modern prose of a commercial city. Meissen had been something beyond experience, a dream of strange beauty. But in Dresden I found a beauty very real and tangible, directly arousing, without complicated equipments of antiquity, the instant repose of the pleasure-loving human hezt, like a voluptuous melody on the 'cello.—Century Magazine. Amber. Did you suppose amber was old enough to be familiar in pre-Biblical times? A passage in Ezekiel, 1:4, is as follows. "And I looked, and behold a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber." There is scarcely anything that can be handled that has not at some time in the course of history been used as money. Amber was once so used in some of the countries around the Mediterranean.
