COLORED APPOINTEE TO WEST POINT ACADEMY TWENTIETH YEAR COLORED TO WE CHEYENNE. WYO. Great interest was manifested in the result of the examination of our Nolle R. Smith for West Point. When word was received that another who had made grades far inferior to that of Mr. Smith, great apprehension was felt by his many friends that justice had not been done him. We are glad to state that matters have been satisfactorily adjusted and that Mr. Smith will enter West Point in January. Mr. Smith is one of our most popular and highly-esteemed young men of our city and his many friends congratulate him that his merit and ability have been recognized. Mr. and Mrs. Q. J. Gilmore of Denver, Colo., are welcome residents to our city. They are very pleasantly located at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Redd, 913 West Twentieth street. E. F. Landor reports a very interesting session of the Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. O. F., which convened in Butte, Mont., last month, the reception tendered the delegates and visitors was elaborate and very enjoyable. Mrs. Prolieau, the wife of our chaplain of the Ninth Cavalry, which is stationed at Fort Russell, has been seriously ill for several weeks. At present writing we are glad to state her improvement. Mrs. Amanda Richardson of Denver, Colo., is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins. Mrs. Richardson is Mr. Hopkins' sister. Word has been received from Miss Mae Smith, who is en route to Boston, Mass., to enter the Conservatory of Music at that place. Miss Smith spent a short time in Chicago and Evanston, ill., visiting friends. During the stay of Dr. Perry of Kansas City, Mo., many entertainments were given in his honor. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gaskin and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Brown entertained at elaborate card parties. Dr. John Harris of Sedalia, Mo., was the guest of Miss Lena B. Hopkins. The visit of Dr. Harris was made pleasant by a series of entertainments given in his honor., the beautiful homes of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker and Mr. and Mrs. Redd being scenes of hospitality. Among the guests invited to meet him at the home of Miss Hopkins were Mr. and DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 23 1909 Mrs. Wm. Ashford, Mr. and Mrs. Reed, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith and Mr. Curtis A. Ward. During the absence of the pastor, who was attending conference in Boulder, Colo., the choir of the A. M. E. church were invited by Chaplain Proileau to render music at their Sunday evening services. A large delegation of Cheyenneites accompanied the choir and an enjoyable, as well as a profitable, evening was spent. Rev. Proileau delivered a most excellent address, his theme being "Our Flag." Ella Wheeler Wilcox tells us in one of her charming poems that we never lose anything that we do not gain something by the loss. The sentiment is applicable to the removal of Rev. H. H. Jones, who for two years was the faithful and efficient pastor of Allen's A. M. E. church. Rev. Jones was given the charge in Albuquerque, N. M., and Rev. James Washington, who had been stationed in Albuquerque was sent here. Rev. Washington has already made many warm friends in Cheyenne, his sermons are spiritual and earnest. We heartily welcome him and his pleasant, sweet faced wife, to our city, and to church and to our homes. During the absence of Rev. Washington, who was called out of town for several days, services were conducted by Rev. Stacker of our city the morning of Oct. 10th. At the evening session the services were in charge of E. F. Landor, the local minister. Last Sunday morning Rev. Prolleau, chaplain of the Ninth Cavalry at Ft. Russell, delivered one of the most eloquent and beautiful discourses it' has ever been our privilege to hear. The Ninth Cavalry, which was called to Douglas, Wyo., to take part in the many interesting features of the State Fair, has returned. The soldiers report having had an enjoyable time and are looking hale and hearty after their outing. The Statesman has won another Cheyenhe admirer, F. F. Wharton paying a three months' subscription for the worthy chronicler to be sent to his address. Mr. Richard Henderson also desires the paper to be mailed weekly to him at the Davis hotel, corner of Seventeenth and O'Nell. Miss Sallie Thistle was the guest of honor at a dinner party given by Miss Lena Hopkins before the departure of Miss Thistle for Wycote, Wyo., where she is teaching school. The guests invited to bid Miss Thistle good-bye were the Misses Lillian Jefferson, Minnie Caves and a Miss Carter of Colorado, Messrs. Curtis A. Ward, Hugh Hopkins and William E. Thistle. An acquisition to Cheyenne social circles is the presence of Mrs. Ada Young of Oakland, Cal., the wife of Captain Young of the Ninth Cavalry at Ft. D. A. Russell. Mrs. Young is a charming and accomplished woman and her coming among us is hailed with delight. Mesdames De Marge De Wese, John A. Baker, Quinn J. Gilmore, E. F. Landor and Miss Lena B. Hopkins were callers upon the recent arrival mentioned and were also at the home of Mrs. Proileau. Mrs. Young has as her guest Miss Grace Logan of Oakland, Cal., who is en route to New York City to spend the winter. It was a pleasure to meet Miss Logan, who is a young lady possessing charming manners. There are many young men among the soldiers of the Ninth Cavalry who are worthy of mention, young men who take an active part in church and social affairs and who are intelligent, educated, cultured and refined. We mention a few: Sergs. Cooper, Hurt, Leonard, Washington, Hurd and Corporal Bryant. These young men are active in Sunday school and Christian Endeavor work. Corporal Bryant has been appointed to lead the Christian Endeavor services next Sunday evening and an interesting and profitable meeting is anticipated. Madam Frances E. Motin of Topeka, Kans., who spent the summer at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sergeant Banks, has returned to Topeka to resume her school work. Madam Motin is a woman of talent and charm and made a host of friends while among us. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Turner, recently of Haslings, Neb., are welcomed to our city. They are erecting a cosy modern residence on West Twenty-fourth street, which will be ready for occupancy in a few weeks. Mrs. Turner is a sister of Mrs. J. E. Smith. We are rejoiced to note the pluck and ambition of our own young people in every part of the country; of FIVE CENTS A COPY young men and young women who are not afraid to work with the hands to acquire an education. Robert W. Brown of Blanchard, Ia., after graduating three years ago from the high school at that place, has been working on a farm to acquire means to enter the University of Iowa, at Des Moines, which he has availed himself the privilege of doing this year. Another young man of means, but who chooses to work his way through school is Wm. J. Prince of Coin, who is at Western University, Evanston. Mr. Prince will be remembered as having visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor two years; also visited relatives in Denver. Robert Brown, who is attending school at Drake University, is Mrs. E. F. Landor's brother, Mr. Prince is her cousin. Another young man who will make his mark in the world is William Ashford, Jr., of our city. Mr. Ashford is a young man of talent, possessing a singing voice of sweetness. He will be our only high school graduate June, 1910, finishing his school work at the early age of 17. Wm. Ashford, Jr., is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ashford, who are both prominent leaders in church and social affairs. James Gaskin, one of our worthy citizens, has been ill for several weekks past. At present writing his condition seems unimproved. Another one of our citizens who is on the sick list is Mrs. Laura Bratton, who was taken to her home in Nebraska, suffering from a stroke of paralysis. Sne was accompanied to her home by the wife of Sergeant Harris, an old friend who reports her condition as unchanged when she returned to her home in this city. The members of the Household of Ruth are making plans for an elaborate entertainment in the near future, which promises to be one of the swellest events of the season. The affair will be a reception and the Household will diffuse hospitality to its host of friends and well-wishers. Mrs. John A. Baker, Mrs. Quinn J. Gilmore and Miss Lena Hopkins have the affair in charge, and with these worthy ladies at the helm the "At Home" by the Household of Ruth will undoubtedly prove all that one could desire. An enterprise which should meet the encouragement and patronage of our citizens is the coal and kindling establishment conducted by two of our enterprising young men, Messrs. Gilmore and Redd. We must have coal, let us patronize our own and by so doing practice what we preach. The Searchlight club has, as is usual for that energetic little body of women, taken the initial step in promoting the social activities of the season. The regular weekly meetings. Continued on last page BAPTIST CELEBRATION. Piftieth Anniversary of the Denomina- tion In Western Pennsylvania. The semicentennial celebration of the organization of Afro-American Baptist ehurcbes in western Pennsylvania was begun in the New Rodinan Street Bap- tist church, East End, Pittsburg, the Rev. O. S. Simms, pastors Monday evening, Oct. 11. to continue until Wednesday, Oct. 20. The celebration took on the form of a jubilee and roof garden entertainment. ‘bere were sa- ered and secular gatherings, literary and musica! exercises and a feast and fair in the main anditorium managed by a committee of 120 ladies. Many of the dignitaries of the church and leading men and women of the race, both locally and from a distance, were present and participated in the celebra- tion, while the members of all tne se- eret, benevolent and uniformed socie- ties and lodges were specially invited. There was a complete change of pro gram each night, the celebration open- ing with selections by a chorus of fifty voices made up from the choirs of different churches. The proceeds of the feast and celebration will be ap- plied to the fund for the completion of the new church building. which when ready for use will be one of the finest erected by any Afro-American congre- gation in the city. As late as 1859 there was no known Afro-American Baptist church in west- erp Pennsylvania, and most of the per- sons of that denomination who locat- ed in that part of the state either cou nected themselves with white congre- gations of that form of faith or lost their identity by uniting with the African Methodist Episcopal churches which were already organized. Just where the first Afro-American Baptist eburch west of the Allegheny moun tains was started is a much mooted question Washington, Pa., claims the honor, but several other cities have put in what appear to be valid claims. As near as can be learned, what was known in its day as the Zion Bap- tist church, then located on Lacock street. Allegheny, was the tirst dis tinctively Afro-American church of that denomination instituted in that vicinity. ‘bis was ip the early staties. Since then the churches have increased at a truly surprising rate mntil today there are more Afro-Amerienn Baptist eburebes in Pittsburg than of all the other denominations combined. Social Leaders to Have Merry Time. The fourth annual reception of the Crescent Social club of Brooklyn, which is to be held at Sumner hall on Thursday evening, Oct. 28, is being looked forward to with eager anticipa- tion by the leaders in social circles. G. M. Smith’s popular orchestra has been engaged for the occasion, and many invitations have been sent to Persons out of town, who will be the guests of the club. Mrs. G. Emery, president. and her associate officers hope to make this the greatest social event In the club's history. No Purthar encroachment. We say again that we are bitterly opposed to anti-tubercnlosis Jeagues as adjuncts to our churches, and we mean it. The idea of members of the church appearing at its services, each with a bution fastened upon bis garment marked “Tuberculosis!” Have we all leprosy that we should be so marked as a warning to other persons to steer clear of us? Hospitals. almshouses and pesthouses are the places for persons having contagious diseases and not eburches, which ore set apart for spir- Itual worship.

LAWN TENNIS The sporting public turned out in full to witness the football game between D. U. and Washburn College. Our hopes were for Washburn, owing to the fact that two colored warriors, F. De Frantz and Arthur Hardy, were in the lineup. D. U. won with apparent ease through weight and climate advantages, but Washburn with such odds against them played a clean, fast, consistent game. In the praise of individual players the white papers overlooked the brilliant play of De Frantz, who at all stages of the game played his adversary off his feet, going through D. U.'s line at will. I dare say that had all Washburn been made of the De Frantz material the score would of been decidedly different. Hardy played well, being injured in the first down, was unable to make a showing, but shows marks of a good player with a little coaching. It is reported that Johnson, the star end for Nebraska, who is now in the law department at the U. of Wisconsin, has offered his services to the athletic department to help develop the football squad. As yet they have not been accepted, some weak excuse being made by the faculty. The fact is that they would do honor to him as a player, but the position as an instructor is more than they can stand. Major Taylor, the champion bicyclist, is in France making a study of balloons and airships, with intentions of purchasing one. Quit riding and gone to flying. The Y. M. C. B. Tennis club is hoping that Colorado Springs, Pueblo and other surrounding cities will take up the game next year. The members are anxious to meet all comers and believe they can beat the best. Several are contemplating a trip to Topeka next year to compete with the club there. Indianapolis boasts of one of the strongest colored football teams in that section, having won last year's championship, the "Herks," as they are called, are whipping into line for this season. The Y. M. C. A. team of Topeka, likewise an undefeated eleven. When these and all other teams have reached the highest pinnacles in football and taken up some other modern sport, then our Denver youths will come forth in all their glory and be bright and shinning stars in the arena of football "alone." Now that Johnson has tamed the "Michigan lion" the wise heads are in closed doors figuring on another opponent to restore the title to the Caucasian race. It will never be Jeffries, not as long as he can show to the simple-minded public and travel from place to place, go abroad and take the "water cure" and various other things to gain time. When his bank account becomes sufficiently large and the demand for a fight becomes too great, then he will come forth with a statement that he is too old and cannot get in condition. Sam Langford is hot on the trail of Jack Johnson, the heavy weight won- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO OTHER ATHLETICS der. Langford is using poor judgment to hook up with such fighter as Johnson. I think Langford could give Johnson the hardest fight of his life for ten rounds. We must admit Langford is a great fighter in his class, but he has no business with the champion for he is in a class by himself. Langford should try to gain the middle weight crown and leave Mr. Johnson to handle the heaviest. Willie Britt asked that Papke fight Langford, then Ketchel would be very glad to meet the winner. If such thing should be done, I can see Little Sammie wearing the middle weight crown now. Young Gans has expressed his willingness to meet young Bruce in a Thanksgiving bout. Gans says he is feeling good and would like to have another chance to show his friends that he still has a chance. Gans says, yes he lost the fight fair and square to Fredie Weeks in Cripple Creek, but does not think Weeks can turn the trick again. Kid Ross, a new lightweight, is in town and sends a challenge in that he would like to meet Young Bruce in a future date in Wyoming. If such match can be arranged between Young Bruce and Gans it would certainly be worth traveling to see these two boys put up a fight. Young Gans is considered cleverer than Bruce, while the latter carries the knockout drops in either hand. These two boys met once at the Auditorium in this city and both were anxious to show their friends who is the best. Gans seemed to be stronger at the finish than his opponent. Put me down as saying if such a match is arranged, it will be a hard battle to judge the winner. They are talkink about arranging a smoker at East Turner Hall for two local lightweights, whose names will appear later on. If this comes to pass it is going to be a good, hard fight from the tap of the gong to the end. LELAND GIANTS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP. The semi-professional championship title of Chicago for this year fell to the Leland Giants, one of the fastest teams in the country. The organization has developed several stars, players who, if given a show, could easily hold their own in the big leagues. Pollard, a last year's star on the Dartmouth eleven, will probably not be on the gridiron this year, owing to the fact that he is back in his studies. Every effort is being made to place him in good standing. TO COLORADO SPRINGS SUBSCRIBERS Some months ago we sent to you along with other subscribers out of the city of Denver, statements of accounts. We also placed the collection in the hands of a local agent without results. We now give public notice of the withdrawal of these accounts from the hands of the local agent and ask patrons to make their payments directly to this office. After one month we will place these accounts in the hands of a regular collection agency. Some patrons try to claim they are misused by us when we attempt collection through an agency. We wish to serve this notice now so that there will be no chance of any such claim in this instance. Then if debtors do not pay up, the fault is STATE FAIR AT BATESBURG South Carolina Afro-Americans Preparing For Great Annual Event. The managers of the state fair to be held at Batesburg, S. C., beginning on Monday, Nov. 8, and which will close with a great religious congress to be held on the fair grounds on Sunday, Nov. 14, are greatly encouraged by favorable reports from our people from all parts of the state and from many other sections. Georgia day will be one of the biggest events of the fair. The state delegation will be headed by the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker. The white people of Batesburg have promised to render liberal assistance to the management, which is officered by Richard Carroll, president; A. Robertson, secretary; Z. E. Walker, superintendent and general manager, and T. A. Williams, treasurer. The program will be in part as follows: Tuesday, Nov. 9, society and woman's day; Wednesday, Nov. 10, farmers' day; Thursday, Nov. 11, Georgia day; Friday, Nov. 12, education day (the schools and colleges of the state are asked to turn out); Saturday, Nov. 13, children's day, on which day the baby show will take place. Leading orators, white and colored, from all parts of the state, including the governor, have been invited to speak during the fair. There will be on exhibition good trotters and blooded horses. The field products will be among the things of attraction. Negro inventors of machinery will be present to show what they have done. Sideshows and wild animal shows will be features at the fair. There will be baseball, football, foot races, mule races, wheelbarrow races, fox chases, wrestling matches and other sports. There will be tand contests, drill contests, vocal music contests and other forms of entertainment daily. Activity In Athletic Sports The young men of the Delaney rifles of Pittsburg are now taking a very active interest in athletics. Four of them took part in the recent lively meet at Forbes field. They have a good football team and are whipping a basketball team into shape. Meanwhile they are becoming quite proficient in their soldierly duties under the tutelage of Captain Frank R. Steward. Among the "rooters" who went over to boost the fortunes of the Detroit Tigers during the recent world's championship series were quite a bunch of well known young Afro-Americans, who would not listen to anything but Detroit as the victors in the contest for supremacy. Wide Awake Business Man. Editor Holmes of the Orangeburg (S. C.) Recorder is not only interested in giving our people in his section the best newspaper that can be got out commensurate with the patronage which it receives, but is just as enthusiastic about members of the race owning their homes. He shows them how this can be done and offers to make the way possible for them to do it. Mr. Holmes is a wide awake business man. DOGGED PERSISTENCE. Day Laborer Who Became Pastor and Influential Man of Affairs. There are some very remarkable facts connected with the career of the Rev. J. W. Hurse, who eight years ago was working as a day laborer on a farm. On going to Kansas City, Mo., not long afterward he found employment with one of the large beef packing houses. After serving his apprenticeship as a packer this hustling young aspirant to the ministry was engaged as an asphalt paver, working in the day at his new trade and preaching upon the streets of the city at night. His followers grew from a few mere curious onlookers to hundreds of earnest devotees, who at their own request were formed into what [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit and bow tie, with a decorative frame around the image]. REV. J. W. HURSE is now known as St. Stephen's Baptist church, with a membership of 000. These people formerly worshiped in a tent. Beside pastoring his church. Rev. Mr. Hurse is prominently connected with many other movements for the uplift of our people and has the full confidence of his white neighbors. He is a member of the city pardoning board, in which capacity he wields a potent influence. He is also a prominent member of the national Baptist convention, the United Brothers of Friendship and the Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. He is grand master for the Pythians. Rev. Mr. Hurse took a prominent part in the recent session at New York city of the supreme lodge, where he was elected supreme master at arms, but he declined in order that he might serve on the beneficiary board of the order. Pencil Pusher Points' New Book. W. Carl Bolivar, the veteran bibliophile, who is an authority on Negro history, will shortly issue a volume dealing with the history of the Negro in and around Philadelphia. Mr. Bolivar has for years been writing for the Philadelphia Tribune over the title of "Pencil Pusher Points." His articles have dealt mainly with prominent Philadelphiaans and events of the past, which otherwise would have been a closed book to the younger generation of Negroes. His book will be especially valuable to students of race history Against the Corset. A number of Parisian women of high social standing are carrying on a campaign against the corset. They have formed a league to protest against the distortion of the female figure by the use of corsets. They agree to banish their own stays forever and to work to do away with the evils of tight lacing in Paris itself, where the most fashionable corsets are manufactured. Many prominent men and women have expressed sympathy with the Anti-Corset league. Marcel Prevost, M. Passy and Gyp are among those who have enrolled themselves as sympathizers, while scores of doctors have offered to encourage the movement. The league has sent out 50,000 pamphlets to Parisian women demonstrating the evils of the modern corset, but members do not enroll with the alacrity wished for. Before the general winding-up of this world the corset may be denounced every now and then. But women will wear them if they want to; and they certainly are "becoming." The Help of the Prodigal. The prodigal sun, repentant, or, at any rate, weary, of the diet of husks forced upon his kind by a vigilant police system, had experienced a change of heart and joined the church. The good sisters were discussing his desirability. "But," expostulated Mrs. Straightlace, with a fine and virtuous display of righteousness, "he was a common gambler—what they call a bunco steerer." "Isn't it lovely!" 'exclaimed Mrs Uptodate. "What a help he will be in getting up our church fairs." As a wise philosopher once remarked in Latin: "De gustibus non disputandum." "Fine lot of chickens," said the visitor. "Uh, huh," replied Mr. Sirius Barker. "I suppose you enjoy eating one now and then." "Those chickens are not be eaten. I keep 'em to get even with the neighbors." COULD NOT MAKE A CONVERT Suburbanite Was Wasting His Time Talking to Unregenerate City Man. The suburbanite was dilating upon the beauties of country life, relates the New York Times. "You should see my garden!" he exclaimed, rapturously. "The roof gardens are good enough for me," replied the dweller within the city's gates. "But the moonlights," continued the suburbanite. "You should see the moonlight shimmering on the landscape." "I prefer the electric lights shimmering on Broadway," said the unregenerate city man. Still the suburbanite was not to be gainsaid. "Ah, but the air. It is like wine," he babbled. "Well, I don't see that you have anything on me," replied the city man. "There's a brewery right around the corner from where I live, and you can smell the hops at any time of the day or night." Realizing the futility of further reasoning, the suburbanite ran for his traja. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. NOTABLE COMING EVENT. Eleventh Annual Reception of the Sons of Virginia Nov. 24. Now that the Order of Moses has concluded its forty-second grand annual encampment in New York, the next most interesting event in secret and benevolent societies of Greater New York will be the eleventh annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, which will be held at Sumner hall, Brooklyn, on Wednesday evening, Nov. 24. The committee of arrangements, which is headed by John W. Winters, is making elaborate preparations to make this the grandest social event in the history of the society. A large number of invitations presid ver me PEIKH B. FISHER has been issued to the various organizations among Afro-Americans to be present in full regalia to take part in the grand march, which is always a pleasing feature at the public functions given by the society. Peter H. Fisher, who succeeded N. B. Dodson as president of the society last January, is leaving no stone unturned to make his administration profitable to the society as a whole and also to individual members by taking them into close confidence and giving each member something to do for the good of the organization. Besides his work in the society President Fisher is a prominent Odd Fellow and church worker. As clerk of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ for the past twenty-one years he has rendered valuable service. Mr. Fisher is one of the founders of the society, which has twice honored him with the presidency. Nineteenth Y. M. C. A. Conference. The nineteenth annual conference of the Afro-American department of the Young Men's Christian association will be held with the Louisville branch at Louisville, Ky., beginning Dec. 2, for four days. Charles H. Bullock, who was formerly secretary of the Carlton avenue branch in Brooklyn, is secretary of the Louisville association and has built the work up to an enviable place among association men. It is the aim of the promoters to make the Louisville session the most largely attended and most helpful of any of the conferences previously held. Many important matters will be submitted for consideration, and the secretary of each branch is earnestly requested to be present on the opening day. 1008 15th St., Denver, COLO.

PAGE.10 Cheyenne, Wyoming Continued from first page charming in their sociability, have been resumed, and the Searchlight club is entering into the year's work the good will and fellowship which has predominated in that organization since its existence. The first meeting of the year was held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Ashford. The session proved very pleasant and profitable, nearly every member being present to answer to roll call. A delectable lunch was served after the session, which added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The beautifully and artistically designed and furnished new home of Mrs. John Baker was open to the members of the Searchlight club at its weekly meeting, Thursday of last week. The program committee had arranged a good program for their program day and each number on the program was well rendered and enthusiastically received. The president, Mrs. J. E. Smith, conducted the devotional exercises in her inimitable manner, after which the meeting was turned over to the program committee. The first number, a piano solo by Mrs. Quinn J. Gilmore, was very artistically rendered. Mrs. Wm. Redd followed by reciting a beautiful composition entitled, "The Vagabond." Mrs. Smith favored the club by rendering a sacred solo. Mrs. Wm. Ashford's article was read with telling effect and was listened to with rapt attention. After the reading an animated and interesting discussion took place, which was participated in by all. The beautiful contralto voice was then heard to advantage in a duet, with Mrs. E. F. Landor. The guests of the club were then called upon for remarks and heartily responded and many were the words of encouragement and commendation tendered the members of the S. L. C. The program closed with an instrumental solo by Mrs. John Baker, who always delights her hearers. After the rendition of the program the hostess assisted by Mrs. Gilmore, served a three-course luncheon, dainty in appointments and delectable in every way. The guests of the club were Grandma Phillips, Mrs. Geo. Hopkins and Mrs. Rev. Washington of our city, Mrs. Captain Young and Miss Grace Logan of Fort Russell, Mrs. Lulu Courtney will entertain the club at its next session at the home of Mrs. James Smith. Mr. J. E. Smith has returned from an extensive visit through the East and South and from an extended visit with his parents in the state of Georgia. Mr. Smith reports having spent a pleasant four weeks renewing the acquaintance of old friends and meeting new ones. Mr. Edward Sloan is sojourning in Seattle, Wash. Mr. Sloan expects to visit other points of interest before his return to this city. ALBUQUERQUE. N. M., NEWS. The Santa Fe baseball team won the first prize at our fair.

Roberts, the well-known proprietor of a leading barber shop; Mrs. W. J. Slaughter and family, Miss Saylor, Miss Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. Parsons were among those who visited the fair from Santa Fc.

Wilson of El Paso visited the fair. Mrs. L. S. Black, the typical choir leader of the A. M. E. church, headed a well-planned surprise party on Rev. H. H. Jones and wife. A good crowd was present and brought with them a big supply of edibles, which brought broad smiles from the good pastor and his wife. A pleasant evening was spent. Rev. H. H. Jones thanked all who so kindly remembered him in such a material manner. The trustees and stewardess boards gave a grand reception Thursday evening for their pastor, Rev. H. H. Jones and his esteemable wife, at the church. Rev. G. H. Byas, in some well-chosen remarks, told of the object of the gathering. The Rev. Jones responded in a neat speech on behalf of himself and wife. Mrs. Wm. Cochran, chairman of the Stewardess board, then seated the people to a well-prepared supper, which was well served to a delightful gathering. Notes of The People's Presbyterian Church. To-morrow, 24th inst., at 3 o'clock, p. m., our first rally as pastor will take place. Rev. A. E. Reynolds will preach the sermon. All the other ministers will participate in the programme. The music for the occasion will be under the auspices of the Choral Club. The voices of these select ladies and gentlemen are soul uplifting in effect. Let everybody come and hear them sing. The fair will close to-night at the church. A large attendance will be very much appreciated. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Thos.

The following letters were written to Frederick Douglass by his little sevenyear-old daughter Rosetta while he was in England in 1846. This is the first time they have ever been made public: My Dear Father—I wish to write to you now to tell you that my eyes are almost well. Miss Mott says that you will feel uneasy and anxious to know. I was very blind when Miss Mott wrote her letter. I have just begun to read and write again. Oh, how happy you will be to hear that I can see again! I thought how you would pity me if only you knew how blind I was. Miss Mott held me in her arms all the time I was not asleep. Miss Mott told me that you visited a great many blind children and they felt of you because they could not see you and they had heard of you before you came to see them. Oh, how sorry I felt for them that they could not see you! I wonder if it snows where you are. It snows here today, and I love to see it snow. The flakes are almost as large as the palm of my hand. They look so beautiful falling upon the green leaves of the chestnut tree in front of the parlor windows. The leaves are bright green. They have now a beautiful green edge. My dear father, if you were here now, oh, happy, how happy, I should be! Oh, my dear father, how glad I was this morning when Miss Mott handed me your letter! I kissed it over and over again, and when I read it, oh, happy, oh, how happy it made me! It was such a [Name not provided] MRS. ROSETTA DOUGLASS SPRAGUE. dear, sweet letter. Why, my dear father, how can I forget you when we talk about you every hour in the day? Oh, no, my dear father, your little Rosa can never forget you. Then I have so many of your dear letters, and you tell me how you love me. Miss Abigail and Miss Lydia are very much delighted with your last letter. They thought Mr. Sanderson wrote me a beautiful letter, but it did not come from my dear father, although he calls himself my oldest brother. Do you know that, father? Miss Nash says that she is very much obliged to you for your love to her, but she says she wonders how you have any love left for her when you send a whole heart full to me. My dear father, you say that you show my letters to little girls. Why, father, I did not think that you would show them. There is something private in them. Father, you say that you dreamed that I did not know you when you met me; I did not smile or look pleased. That was very strange for you to dream that I did not know you, for I shall know you if I only hear you say "Rosa," even though you would speak to me in the dark. I do not dream. I sleep so sweetly. I do not remember what I think when I am asleep, but Miss Abigail says she can give me her dream as an offset to my father's THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD dream. She dreamt that she some company and you would not shake hands with her for some time. After awhile you put out your hand very indifferently and spoke coldly to her. But Miss Mott says she doesn't believe in dreams. Do you, father? Miss Lydia desires me to give a great deal of love to you. This is from your loving little daughter. B. HENRI H.ERBERT DIES. Prominent Politician and Writer Found Dead In Road Near Trenton. R. Henri Herbert, whose dead body was found in a road running along the skirts of Trenton, N. J., early Wednesday morning, Oct. 13, was one of the best known Afro-Americans in the state and was also widely known in political circles. Mr. Herbert, whose death was probably due to apoplexy, was document clerk in the statehouse at Trenton, which position he had held for many years. Besides being a shrewd politician, Mr. Herbert took a lively interest in literary work. One of his best compositions is entitled "The Coming Nation," in which he takes an optimistic view of the possibilities of the Negro race in the United States. His death will be mourned by the great bulk of the race in many sections of the country. BALLOT. POOR MAN'S WEAPON Right Use of Franchise Will Secure Impartial Justice. If Afro-Americans ever get a full and impartial hearing at the public court of inquiry, then they must put men in office who believe in the political equality of all men; they must unite and husband their interests as other people. The ballot is the poor man's weapon. Stick and pull together. Watch and follow their leaders in all things; especially give their friends to understand that they are men. In city, county and state elections be men. Vote for the men who are willing that you shall be protected under the law as other citizens. No man should be punished without a fair and impartial trial.—Cadiz (Ky.) Informer. White Mobs Hounding Negroes. Because of their thrift and industry and ability to compete wit white laborers at San Angelo, Tex., hundreds of Afro-Americans with their families have been threatened by the usual white mobs and ordered out of the town, the whites declaring that the Negroes were depriving them of their jobs. It is stated that the Negroes will refuse to leave and will invoke the law in their behalf as citizens having the right to peacefully follow their daily occupation. Dr. Robert E.

Heads Permanent Legal Organization Which is to Have Auxiliary Branches in Every State. By N. B. DODSON. The National Negro Bar association, under the leadership of Albert S. White of Louisville, Ky., president, and his able corps of officers, bids fair to become a potent and virile organization. Although only organized last August, much has already been done toward forming auxiliary branches in every state in the Union. Albert S. White, president of the organization, is dean of the Central Law school, law department of the state university, Louisville, and has held this position since 1892. He is also a charter member of the white Bar association of Kentucky and president of the Kentucky Negro State Bar association. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Louisville, subsequently graduating from the state university and from the law department of Howard university. Washington. He has frequently been appointed by the judges of Jefferson county on committees to examine applicants for admission to the bar and for many years has held the position of United States revenue agent. He declined the position of consul to Sierra Leone tendered him by President McKinley during his first term and was one of the attorneys for Congressman Walter Evans, now federal judge in the western circuit of Kentucky. In the contest for Judge Evans' seat by Oscar Turner in 1890. At one time he was editor of the New South and for a number of years a paid writer on the Courier-Journal, the Commercial and the Herald, leading southern dailies. In late years he has been a constant contributor to the columns of the Evening Post, the most aggressive and potent afternoon publication in Kentucky. He is engaged in general practice and is constantly called upon to handle legal cases in all parts of Kentucky and frequently in adjoining states. He was permanent secretary of the state Republican convention that nominated General W. S. Taylor for governor of Kentucky in 1899, being the only colored man ever elected to such a position, and has frequently been on the state Republican campaign committee in the capacity as member of advisory committees. Since the Harrison-Cleveland campaign he has stumped Kentucky for the Republicans in every state and national campaign, and he has often been called into Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. He took a prominent part in behalf of President Taft and was heard for the Republicans in a number of states, besides writing a strong series of articles for Republican policies in the Louisville Post and other papers. The executive committee is strong and when completed will represent every state in the Union. The next meeting of the organization will be in Boston next August, and the officers and members of the body will spare no pains to make it in every way successful and creditable. THE STATESMAN.

THE COLRED ORPHANAGE AND OLD FOLKS' HOME. We heartily commend the editor of the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine for the manly stand which he has taken in reference to the baneful effect which night picnics and balls have upon our youth. He says: Located at 873 Zuni street, Denver, Colo.; take Lawrence street car west, and get off at West Eighth avenue; go due west through the Barnum shops eight blocks. This institution provides a home for homeless colored children and aged women and men of the race. We also care for children whose parents are in service and cannot keep them, at a very small pittance. Any information can be had by writing a letter or postal to 873 Zuni street, or telephoning Main 732 "We voice our disapproval of the custom of holding midnight balls, commonly called picnics. It is in no sense against the dance that we speak, but it is against the demoralizing effect of allowing young girls and even young boys to dance in a pavilion where drinks are served and with a saloon attached. Such a place has a bad influence on the young mind, and if our leading clubs, lodges and families support such a place it gradually grows on the young mind that it is proper. Many of the young people frequent such places unattended by either parents or guardians, and if hurtful things are said against them no one is there to protect or dispute it, and one more stone is placed around his or her neck. Our lodges and clubs, which are supposed to represent our leading and most select women and men, should look out for the moral side of the thing as well as the pecuniary point. We do not believe in being antagonistic in the least, but a hint to the wise should be sufficient." Automobile for Hire J. H. GANNAWAY Phone Main 776 I SAY!

The proof of the value of our work !s that we are be ing imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently menticned 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).
