The singing by Mr. and Mrs. Murray, of Boston, Mass, thrilled the audience with delight. The instrumental accompaniment with piano and violin rendered by Miss Francis Ellsworth and Master Milton Ellsworth, was evidence of much training, which was pleasing to hear. The paper by the matron, Mrs. E. T. Ellsworth, was well prepared and was listened to with interest. The songs by the mixed quartette brought down the house. Wholesome refreshments were served by the ladies of the Star. A good crowd was in attendance, which made the occasion a success. Many white companies are organizing business concerns in the Territory. Why can't Negroes organize and try to get some of the good land before it is too late?

A touching funeral service preceeded the interment at Fairmount, participated in by Rev. Ward a pastor of Shorter church, of which he was a member, and by the Odd Fellows. The deceased was a good citizen, an exemplary husband, an earnest worker for the good at all times. The dear wife whom he leaves is doubly bereft, but all suffer with her in the loss of a good man.

This club is for the social betterment of its members. It will occupy the building at 1759 Champa street and has planned a large future, including the building of a permanent home for itself. The operation of the club is the same as that of the exclusive white club such as the Denver club, and will be open only to members and visitors under the escort of members. Gambling is tabooed and games are restricted to the social pastimes. The by-laws will soon be ready from the hands of the printer, though some have already applied for membership, depending on the character of the incorporators for their confidence in it. A big future awaits the move. The Carnation Art club will meet Friday with Mrs. Pollard of 1505 E. 16th avenue. All members are urged to be present. Mrs. Dan Mallory has returned to the city and they are residing at 144 Columbine. The Soda Dispensers on Thursday night entertained as only they can.

The crowd was just right for dancing and all present enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Souvenir programs of the occasion were given away. As usual, special attention was given the decorations. Besides the bunting, flowers and the like, there were two pieces of soda fountain art work. The one by W. A. Rice was a frozen floral and fruit picture arch, so attractively done that the eye was gladdened and the appetite excited at once. The other was a skillful piece of ice carving entitled "Soda," done by Johnnie Watkins. Miss L. Fitchue won the cut glass punch bowl. BE SURE AND READ THIS.

The grand temple of the United Brotherhood of America at Savannah, Ga., is an incorporated institution chartered for the promotion of fra- ternal and business purposes. Al- though recently organized, the order has stimulated hundreds of our peo- ple to unite upon its co-operative busi- ness plan. The plans for the organ- ization were principally drawn by Professor William D. Kennedy, a man who has had considerable experience as an organizer and worker in such organizations as the True Reformers, Odd Fellows and Masons. Professor Kennedy is one of the most progress: ive men in the work for racial uplift in the state, and his advice is eagerly = SG SER, al GY fer, ¥ ay Br 9. c? a ; aa a 2 8 Lee Sit es ae 7.) 6 ea cc — PROFESSOR W. D. KENNEDY. sought and relied upon by business men from many sections. Among the immediate promoters and organizers of the movement are such well known fiuanciers and influential citizens as Messrs. L, E. Williams, R. B. Brooks, H. T. Singleton, Sol C. Johnson, John McIntosh, Mrs. J. H. Patterson, A. L. Tucker, E. W. Sherman and Revs. Donel Wright and William Gray Temples will be organized in each state. Professor Kennedy as supreme grand architect, with his coterie of ex- cellent business men and women as officers, will through the business end of this organization aim to give em- ployment to hundreds of our people in a way which hus not hitherto been adopted by the ordinary secret or mu- tual benefit society. That the time for such a work is ripe has been shown by the lively interest which has al- ready been manifested on the part of the public. Georgia has the reputa- tion of having a larger number of well to do business men than most any oth- er state, and the starting of the grand temple of the United Brotherhood of America at this time is simply a con- firmation of this opinion. The order is comfortably housed in a beautiful suit of offices in Savannah and is making arrangements for an active campaign to spread the merits of the institution broadcast. Able A. M. E. Church Worker Home. Dr. John Hurst of the A. M. B. church, who has heen located in Hatti for some time past in connection with the work of the A. M. E. church in that country, arrived in the United States a few days ago and is now in Washington. Dr. Hurst is one of the shlest men in the A. M. E. church. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Edith, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Gaskins, has been quite ill the past week. Mrs. James Smith, we are glad to report, is much improved at this writing and able to be out again. Mr. Simon Gaskins, one of our prominent young men, has returned from a trip to Denver. Mr. Carl Smith, who has been sojourning in Colorado, is again at home. Wm. Powell, who has been visiting at the home of his brother, James Powell, has returned to his home in Pueblo, Colo. Mrs. Proileau, the wife of Chaplain Proileau, has returned from Kansas City, where she was called by the death of a relative. Mrs. Thrower is visiting at the home of her nephew in Denver, Colo. Mrs. Thrower is the wife of Sergeant Thrower ofthe Ninth cavalry. Mrs. J. D. D. Rivers of Denver, Colo., was a guest Thanksgiving day at the home of Chaplain and Mrs. Proileau of Fort D. A. Russell. Sergeant and Mrs. Plum Banks, who are now living on 25th street, will soon be at home to their many friends in one of Mr. Jas. Gaskins' cosy cottages on 24th street. Mrs. Washington of the A. M. E. church parsonage was quite ill several days last week, but at present writing is much improved. Mr. Joseph Carter of Washington, D. C., who has spent the summer here in the employ of Senator Warren, returned to his home Wednesday. Mr. Carter will be greatly missed in church and social circles. Mrs. White, who was seriously injured by a gasoline explosion, is slowly but steadily improving. Mrs. Arthur Ford was quite ill a few days last week, but at this writing is much improved. Sickness prevails in Cheyenne to an alarming extent, the sudden changes in the weather causing colds and fevers. We regret to learn that Mrs. R. L. Price, who passed through our city a few weeks ago en route to Kansas points, has been very ill. Her many friends will be glad to know of her recovery. An addition has been made to the membership of the A. M. E. church in the past few weeks. We are pleased to welcome to our ranks Mrs. Harris, the wife of Sergeant Harris; Mrs. Turner and Mr. Caves. These are estimable people and their efforts toward the success of the church will be appreciated. Miss Duncan, who has been visiting at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Washington, has returned to her home in Omaha, Neb. Miss Duncan's departure is regretted by a host who met her while in their midst. Mr. Joseph Baker of Buxton, Iowa, is a guest at the home of his father-in-law, Chas. Lucas. Mr. Baker is contemplating locating in our midst and it is hoped that he will decide in our favo. Many interesting and profitable meetings of the Young Ladies' Art and Literature club have been held since our last issue. The young ladies are now making preparations for a birthday party to be held in the near future, at which a musical and literary program will be rendered. Mrs. Washington is to be highly commend- ed for the interest she has created among the young ladles along lines that are profitable as well as artistic. During the visit of Presiding Elder Owens to our city several dinners and luncheons were given in his honor. Mrs. M. E. Baker entertained at a course dinner, the guests being Rev. and Mrs. Washington, and the guest of honor Elder Owens. Mrs. Chas. Lucas has an enviable reputation as a culinary artist, but her luncheon served to Rev. and Mrs. Washington, Mr. Carter of Washington and Presiding Elder Owens during the recent visit of the latter, seems to have been the most enjoyable of all. The season's delicacies prepared only as Mrs. Lucas can prepare them were enjoyed by her guests immensely. Miss Lena Hopkins entertained beautifully a few evenings ago the members of the Searchlight club. The occasion was in honor of Miss Hopkins' birthday. A dainty luncheon was served by the charming hostess and a very enjoyable time was spent by the guests. Miss Hopkins received as a token of love and regard from the members of the club, a beautiful set of cut glass. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. E. F. Landor, and Miss Hopkins responded with a very fitting speech. Miss Hopkins has the honor of being the only unmarried lady in the club. The A. M. E. Sunday school bids fair to equal if not surpass its past records along all lines for good. The officers who have been elected for the ensuing year are interested and efficient. It is with pleasure that we record that Mr. James Gaskin has been unanimously re-elected the superintendent. Miss Kathryn Turner we are sure will prove a worthy assistant. The other officers and the corps of teachers appointed are pleased with their positions and appointments and a happy season of Christian fellowship is anticipated. At a recent meeting of the Searchlight club the annual election of officers was held. Mrs. John Baker, who has proven herself invaluable to the organization, was heartily elected to the highest position that a club affords, that of president. Miss Lena Hopkins as secretary will be all that is to be desired. Mrs. Quinn J. Gilmore, chairman of the program committee, is making arrangements to conduct a very charming course of study. The other officers elected are in harmony, and as ever the Searchlight club is endeavoring to live up to their national motto, "Lifting As We Climb." The Quarterly Conference conducted by Presiding Elder Owens was an enjoyable one from every point of view. Elder Owens delivered two very able discourses full of thought and food for thought. The communion services were well attended and there seemed a spirit of good will and fellowship to prevail at all the meetings. Elder Owens declared himself as delighted with the progress of the church and the enviable reports that were delivered him by the different boards and auxiliaries of the church. Too much cannot be said in praise of Rev. James Washington, who has managed and conducted the affairs of the church so creditably. Rev. Washington reported the presiding elder the best financial report that has ever been given in the history of Cheyenne's church for local expenses for one quarter, the amount of over $250 being raised. The Ninth cavalry has an enviable record as valiant soldiers; then, too, have an enviable record as hosts and entertainers. Rev. Washington accompanied by a number of his members and congregation was a guest of CALUMET CLUB 2149 Curtis Street Headquarters for Porters Waiters, and Railroad Men.

Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Q. J. Gilmore, Mr. and Mrs. David Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Ashford, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor, Miss Lena Hopkins, Miss Katheryn Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Ford, and others. The dinner given by the members the A. M. E. church on Thanksgiving day was a decided success in every respect. The dinner was in charge of Mrs. Chas. Lucas. She was able assisted by Mrs. Bowler, Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Deweese. The men of this church assisted admirably, as did also the young ladies of the church who were in charge of the tables and decorations. The church reports clear of expenses a sum in the neighborhood of one hundred dollars. The social activities for the holiday season are being planned by the churches and other societies. The Searchlight club is planning to receive on New Year's day; the Sunday school is looking forward to a Christmas tree for the tiny tots. The lodges and other clubs are planning entertainments, and altogether Christmas, 1909, promises to be a red letter day in Cheyenne. DENVER LOCALS The affair of the season was the Kuntry Fare, given by the Y. M. C. B. Glee club last Wednesday night at Shorter. It has not been equaled in Colorado for genuine fun. The church could hardly accommodate the gay rubes and pretty belles that came to town to take in the doings. Many city dudes were arrested for mashing by the overworked constables, Rhodes, Harris and Tasker, while Woodrow at the bench gave them fines none too light. Strong lunged fakirs bellowed forth their attractions to the monied farmers, while really and truly beautiful girls dispensed sweets to the young and old. Manager A. Wayman Ward and President Ray Clark were kept busy collecting the fast flowing pennies. Mr. Collins and Miss Fisher were the winners in the prize dress parade. Everyone had a time such as he wa used to have before he came to Colorado. Many seemed to look most natural and at home in the farm garb Capt. Ward, Barber, Clark and V. Ward of the Y. M. C. B. foot ball team were given an auto ride after the game last Thanksgiving morning by the Misses Fisher, Nelson and Ward. Word comes that Mr. Edward Plummer has accepted a clerical position in Muskogee, Okla. The Y. M. C. B. young men are planning to put on some basket ball teams in a short while. These young men are in for all kinds of athletic sports. Watch them. GOING SOME. Sixty-eight tickets engaged for Colorado Springs to see the All-Star Minstrel, December 16th.

The money for these walks was given by the students. They did all the work in construction of same and the work is indeed a credit for finished workmen. DON'T MISS THE MEETING Of the Stockholders and Subscribers to the Negro Townsite and Land Co., December 8th, 1909, at Shorter's Chapel. The site for a farming district and a townsite is an ideal one, and our option will not hold longer than December 10th, 1909. If this site is approved by the stockholders and subscribers, forty acres will be set aside by the company for the establishing of a sanitarium and a home for girls, where the girls will receive training for professional nurses. The sanitarium will be under the control of one of the leading physicians of Denver, who will be supported by the best physicians and the fraternal organizations of the United States. The Negro Townsite and Land Co. means business, but we can do nothing without the assistance of the stockholders and subscribers. We know that you mean business or you would not have shown your interest by subscribing. We are receiving mail from all parts of the United States inquiring of the location and of the prices of farming land and town lots. Come out to the meeting and let us settle on the location. The directors have spent considerable time and their own money, looking up a suitable location, and have visited several, and the one six miles north of Byers seems to them to be the one. The site is level, the soil is rich and deep, the water possibilities are excellent. The vegetation in and around the site is above the average of dry farming because of sub-irrigation, and being located on the rain belt. Such a desirable location will be hard to beat, and there are two eastern colonization companies after this location. The owners are not now urging the sale as a party from the east will visit this site on the 8th of December. It has been quoted to them at a much higher price on account of the farming interest which has been created in the east by Colorado exhibits and agents. Lands adapted to colonization are in great demand and prices are soaring higher. Now let us get busy lest we come short, or get shut out on account of price. Don't forget the important meeting December 8th, at Shorter's Chapel. THE NEGRO TOWNSITE & LAND COMPANY, Harry Jones, Asst. Sec'y. O. T. Jackson, Pres. NOTICE.

Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESORPTION! Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resistant qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but or advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.C.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as presented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.35 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes).

The work of the White Rose Indus- trial association, at 217 East Eighty- sixth street, New York, is succeeding notwithstanding the many drawbacks with which it is confronted from time to time. It is the aim of the associa- tion to provide a suitable home for Afro-American working girls who may be out of immediate employment and may or may not be strangers in the city or who have not the advantages of home comforts at ordinary lodging places. In the White Rose home girls are taught how to care for private homes, how to cook, wash, iron, sew and do general housework in private families before taking such places, thus enabling them to render better service and also receive better wages. The home does not discriminate as to racial lines. but receives white girls who are seeking to better their condi- tion as well as Afro-American. The board of directors also includes both white and Afro-American wembers. The association has under advisement the starting of a similar home at Nor- Sr 7, G ri Y K foes \ . oo \ ee: ZO ere oor A eK) x he cae ee (4 ve : = a ns Be a es wh Pere A 3 oO a on of ei x Pog 4 ae ee os Mee ae ee Oe MRS.

It would only require about $15 a month rental for a small house at Norfolk until the work there becomes self supporting. The association has bad an agent at Norfolk for the past three yeurs, and during 1908 300 women and girls were helped or cared for until situations were secured for them. Mrs, Frances R. Keyser, the present suprintendent of the home in Eighty-sixth street, New York, is well fitted by training and experience to conduct the home along proper lires in keeping with the aims of the board of directors. She is a hard worker and is thoroughly inter- ested in and devoted to the work. She knows how to overcome difficulties. Voluntary contributions will be gladly accepted and properly used for the maintenance of the association, which is doing an unselfish work for the up- lift of our people.

The mission station of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission so- ciety which was opened in Brooklyn about ten months ago, with Miss Re- becca J. Carter, missionary, in charge, has been very successful. ‘Through its ministrations hundred of non- churehgoing persons have been reach- ed, many of which have been induced to attend church services, while others are regular attendants at the mission. A large number of families have also been helped, both spiritr ly and ma terially, through represez. itives of the mission.

Miss Ida Cox was the charming hostess at an elaborate dinner party given Thursday afternoon at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. QO. Dishman. Covers were laid for 10. The color scheme of green and white was carried out in a truly artistic manner, The centerpfece of white chrysanthemums surrounded by a bed of dainty green, was very effective. The place cards and favors were in keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiv- ing. The six-course dinner, consist- ing of the choice and rare delicacies of the season, was thoroughly enjoy- ed by all. Much merriment was created by means of riddles upon the back of the place cards. The person guessing the greatest number was en- titled to a prize. Mrs. Irene Fife be- ing the lucky one, received a toy turkey. Ere the dinner closed Mr. O. Dishman, acting mail carrier, deliy- ered a small missive to each guest which proved to be a toast from the hostess. Each responded with grace- ful and appropriate speech. The afternoon pleasure was further enhanced by choice vocal and instru- mental selections, Mrs. Dishman, Misses Ross and Cox and Mr. Holly participating. The guests lingered until time urg- ed them thither to Dana's hall. All present expressed themselves as hay- ing had a most delightful time. Miss Cox presented each lady with a beau- tiful bouquet. Those partaking of the hospitality were the Misses Ross, Thrashly, Mesdames Dishman and Fife, and Messrs. Lewis, Dishman, Holly and Smith, and Gaskins of Cheyenne, Wyo.

It revoked the licenses undet which they sold bottled goods and refused to grant them any license whatever to sell liquor. They were told, however, that the license to operate their pool tables would re- main good, and under this privilege they continue to remain open. It is generally believed that the complaint against them which brought about this drastic action by the fire and police board was made by the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association, acting on behalf of saloons situated in the dis: tricts thickly populated with Negroes.

One of the smartest things that has happened recently was a birthday party in honor of Miss Oddrie Brown’s 20th birthday anniversary, given by her mother, Mrs. Cora Jones, at 2048 Lawrence street, this city. A fancy seyen-course dinner was served in elaborate style. The house was profusely decorated, most espec- jally the dining room, which was a mass of carnations and ferns. Among the special guests were her cousins, Mr. and Mrs, Jason Wilson of Sa- lida, along with twenty-seven Denver friends. Mr. Clarence Sears presided at the piano, while dancing was indulged in until the wee sma’ hours.

Sunday, at the cozy home of Mrs. McAfee, of 2621 Marion street, there was one of the swellest eight-course dinners yet given in that vicinity. The sweet-scented flowers and color schemes were some of the features of the dinner besides the very appropri- ate souvenirs so delicately and artist- ically designed with a token of friendship. The dinner hour was spent in toasts and speeches from her invited guests, who were Mesdames Carew, Manuel, McAfee, and also Messrs Manuel, Brown and Lawyer Ross. A very agreeable time was spent and the event was replete for happy reminiscences, ANOTHER KILLING. On Sunday night a Mrs. Jett is said to have pushed a bread knife into the jugular vein of her husband, As the result Mr. Jett died in a few seconds, having bled to death. Up to the pres- ent time Mrs, Jett and her five-year- old daughter deny that the killing was done by Mrs, Jett, but say that a ‘man who was a visitor in the home did the killing. Four witnesses say the man did not kill Jett. It is sald that Jett had on his person when found dead an ugly looking gun, and that before his death he had been drinking heavily and had abused his wife. The coroner’s jury found by their verdict that Mrs. Jett killed her husband. Mrs. Jett has retained Messrs.

The two churches have been greatly revived. The Ladies’ Aid Thanksgiving din- ner was a great success. They wish to thank the many friends who con- tributed to the success of this enter- prise. The Junior League, under the man- agement of Mrs, W. A. Bobo, is pre- paring a Christmas program. Every Junior will give something to the poor children of the city whose par- ents are not able to make Christmas cheeful for them, The Rey. J, J. Cabbell, disttict su- perintendent of the Topeka District, left last Friday for Colorado Springs, after having spent Tnanksgiving with the members of the Ladies’ Aid. He reports that he was most suptuously entertained during his stay in the city. The Choral club is practicing very thoroughly for the grand musicale to be given at Trinity Methodist church December 16th. Every one who loves high class music will be there. Seats on sale by the Knight-Campbell Music company and Attorney G. G, Ross, Kittredge building. The pastor will preach Sunday omrning and the evangelist Sunday afternoon. At this time the Lord’s Supper will be held. You are cor- dially invited to attend these sery- ices. The People’s Presbyterian church will unite with Scott's on this occasion, The $300.00 December rally has been postponed until December 19th, on account of the revival that is now in progress. We are expecting that every club and member to do his ut most to raise his assessment of thirty dollars, Class No, 2 leads the collections again, The class meetings had to be changed to Sundays until the revival closes. Next Sunday will be general class. Mr, ©, J. Coler will be the leader.

Anderson, vice-president; Miss Catherine Colbert, second vice; Mr. C. J. Collier, secretary, and Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale, treasurer. The officers were elected as the executive committee to meet at Trinity for the purpose of organizing a central or- ‘ganization. CONDOLENCE. Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst Mr. John William Turley, the uncle of our beloved secretary, Miss Eva Jones. We, the members of the Lizzie Froman Y, extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy. Our beloved brother will be remembered by all. His name is written with smiles and tears upon the pages of the human heart. He was able in intellect, honest in purpose and action, pure in heart and conscientious in the discharge of his duties and his genial and grateful nature never failed to endear him to all. When we shall have joined him on the other shore may we leave to sorrowing friends the reward of as pure and upright a life. So, dear wife and niece, accept the language of Job, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him;" and as Paul said, "Though I walk through the valley and shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." Like weary and worn-out children That sigh for the daylight's close, He knows that they oft are longing For home and sweet repose. So He calls the men from their labors Ere the shadows round them creep. And silently watching o'er them God grant that we may rest as calmly When our work,like theirs', is done. Till then we would yield with gladness Our treasures to Him to keep. STELLA SCOTT. ROYAL BROWN. SARAH TURNER. NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The meetings still continue to grow in interest. Up to the present there have been eight accessions and conversions. We would specially request our friends and well-wishers to attend these meetings. Unless providentially hindered, the services will be continued at the People's church by the evangelist to Dec. 14. After that time the preacher will return to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Our Thanksgiving offering amounted to over $50.00. THOSE CIVIL RIGHT CASES. From time to time attention has been called to the fact that every Negro man, woman and child in Colorado has rights in jeopardy because of discrimination. These cases, if carried to the Supreme Court of Colorado, will decide what the status of the Negro is in Colorado. The men have been discriminated against and the defendants sued and in each case, i. e., (McClain's suit vs. Curtis theater; also Ross vs. Auditorium Managers), these defendants have denied the discrimination, showing if the discrimination occurred, they had no legal right. In the Auditorium case one of the defendants came three times to the office of Ross' attorney, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. W. B. Townsend, and begged to have the case dismissed and he would be willing to go upon the stand and tell all about the discrimination and from whom the orders came. The public has interest in these cases and ought to give the financial and moral support. Just a few persons who have so generously contributed are responsible for the status of the cases. It is expected that enough funds will be raised to carry the case to the Supreme Court of Colorado. Dr. W. A. Jones is treasurer of our Civil Rights Fund and all donations can be received through him. REV. DR. CROSSWAITE'S SERMON AT SHORTER'S. It was announced unday morning that Rev. Dr. Crosswaite, of Nashville, Tenn., would preach Sunday night. His text, "Who owns the earth?" was carefully presented. He preached hope and gave very good reasons, showing the absolute equality of races and the common brotherhood and human consideration which is due to every person. Quite a large audience heard the sermon and the spiritual uplift was greatly manifested. The sermon was very deep and logical, and was based wholly upon citations from the Bible. The tender cord came when it was made known that the Reverend's son was afflicted with lung fever and was in Colorado in search of his health. Rev Crosswaite appraised his audience that he desired to locate in Denver permanently and follow the practice of medicine. First-class Dressmaking and Ladies' Tailoring by Beatrice Lewis of 1219.

Thrifty Secret Order With Headquarters at Baltimore, of Which Bishop James A. Handy Was One of the Founders. Was Guarded by White Men In Its Early History. The Grand United Order of Nazarites, a fraternal organization with headquarters at Baltimore, is probably the most prosperous of the many fraternal orders among Afro-Americans in the state of Maryland. It was organized in 1854 by a number of persons who were interested in the welfare of the race, who probably builted wiser than they knew. Of the men who founded the order only one is now living, Bishop James A. Handy of Baltimore, who has labored for more than a half century as an active worker in the African Methodist Episcopal church. In the days when the order was organized there was a curfew law for colored people in Baltimore, and the meetings of colored fraternal orders had to be attended by some white man, whose business it was to see that no plots were hatched against the institution of slavery. Immediately after the civil war the order began to grow rapidly until there are now over 3,000 members in Baltimore alone, with nearly $60,000 to their credit in bank. The order also has a large membership in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The steady growth of the Nazarites made the members wish for a home of their own. Accordingly ground was bought at 534-536 North Calvert street, Baltimore, upon which a large four story building was erected in 1891 at a cost of $22,500. It is located in the center of the city and is clear of debt. In 1904 the property adjoining the hall on the north was purchased for $9,000, payment upon which was completed a few months ago. It is the intention of the order to improve the last purchased property by erecting an addition to the hall. This will give the hall a frontage of sixty feet on Calvert street, with a depth of about 150 feet. Among the many women who have labored for the advancement of the order are Mesdames Fannie N. Brown, Mary M. Pratt, Martha A. Dungee, Margaret Durham, Carrie V. Page and Jennie Thomas. The men who were prime movers in building up the order were the late David Nelson, George W. Carroll, Perry P. Clark, Henry R. Hooker, Addison Manns, W. H. Kimble, James H. D'Onion, Allen Fields, T. H. Payne, W. H. Wilson, W. I. Butler and Alfred H. Pitts, the present grand clerk of records of the order. Mr. Pitts was born in Virginia in 1853. He came to Baltimore at an early age and at once allied himself with the order and has been a prominent worker therein for over thirty years. For a number of years he served as president of the board of directors of the Nazarite Joint Stock association. Mr. Pitts is also a thirty second degree Mason and is rated as one of the most substantial men in Baltimore. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. M. B. He is the owner of considerable property. The members of the board of directors of the Nazarite Joint Stock association are: Addison Manns, president A. H. Pitts, secretary; Henry R. Hooker, treasurer; T. H. Payne, auditor; Augustus Watts, B. F. Sewell, John H. Gilmor, T. H. Franklin, Robert J. Dennis, Elias Dorsey and W. H. Kimble. The following officers of the grand pasture, which is the highest body in the order, will be installed Dec. 21: Allen Fields, grand worthy shepherd; H. C. King, deputy grand worthy shepherd; James H.

Howard, grand worthy guide; Mrs. Mary Johnson, grand armor bearer; Mrs. Estelle Bailey, grand right hand standard bearer; Mrs. Mary Fitchett, grand left hand standard bearer; James H. Lee, grand outside sentinel; William Haywood, grand inside sentinel, and Mrs. Jennie Thomas grand guardian and shepherdess. Mrs. Brown Loses Suit For Damages. The Iowa supreme court handed down a decision Nov. 18 holding that a private business concern under the Iowa statute can legally refuse to serve a Negro. Susie Brown, an Afro-American, sued the J. H. Bell Coffee company for $1,000 damages because the attendants refused to serve her a cup of coffee at a pure food show in Des Moines in 1908. In the lower court she won her case, but the supreme court has reversed the decision, holding that the Bell company, being a private concern, had the right to refuse to serve any one it wished even though the person had paid an admission fee at the door. Chief Justice Evans and Justice Weaver filed vigorous dissenting opinions. Brooklyn Elks Have Merry Time. The home Thanksgiving reception of Brooklyn lodge, No. 32, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, which was held at Somer hall, Brooklyn, recently, was a most enjoyable social function. The attendance was large, and the spirit of fraternal union was everywhere felt. It showed that the order has not lost any of its former prestige with the public and that it is also in a prosperous financial condition. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

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

THE WATER QUESTION. The discussion of the water question is warming up. Some proposition will shortly come before the voters for their decision. As consumers of water whether we all are tax payers or not, Negroes have a vital interest in the disposition of this question. Whether the franchise of the present company is extended, whether the city purchases the present plant or builds a new one outright, it will cost us equally with other users of water. Therefore it is highly proper that we post ourselves and prepare to vote intelligently. The Statesman is not disposed to agree with those who include all corporations in one sweeping denunciation as male-factors. Nor would we be so craven as to accept without investigation whatever proposition the Denver Union Water company has to make. It has rights and the people have rights. We would choose that which is equitable and right, let it benefit most whom it may. To the end of doing the people a service in reaching a right decision, we open our columns for the discussion of the water question, whether for or against. We do this without prejudice to either side of the question, and hope only to be the means of it being better understood. Later we will express our views on the subject. The demand of the Retail Liquor Dealers that the colored keepers of resorts that competed with them be prohibited from further business by the fire and police board, is surprising. With the agitation going on to bring about prohibition, absolutely precluding all liquor traffic, it is the height of folly for the whites to draw the color line. It goes without saying that high class saloons which refuse to serve Negroes, are not responsible for this action of the Liquor Dealers' Association. It is the barrel houses, the purveyors of squirrel whiskey, who are angry at losing their colored patronage. And they have involved all their white brethren in an attempt to reach Negro businesses that compete. The raising of the color question thus, even though it is indirect, will endanger the support of colored voters for licensed sale of liquor. So it is that we say the closing of the colored clubs at the request of rival liquor dealers is a move that surprises us. In the annual struggle between Fiske and Meharry on the gridiron this season Meharry was returned the victor by a score of 9 to 0. PAGE. 2 O. T. Jackson Writes on Water Question Editor The Statesman: Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper to say just a word relative to the water question? While we are not all of the same political faith, I believe we are as one on all matters of race interest. An article in an issue of a race paper some two weeks ago, under the captaion of "A Negro Taxpayer," was a very clean, clear, unbiased and free from a know-all introduction of the subject. The article contains many good points for discussion. I will not attempt now to discuss any of the points of Mr. Taxpayer's article, but will simply add one or two points for discussion from the Negro's interest in the water question. If the Union Water company should secure a franchise through your votes, the first point is, how much or what per cent. of the thousands of dollars that the Negro water tax payer pays out does he receive back through the employment of Negroes by the Union Water company, or through the managers of that concern? The second point is, what possibility has the Negro taxpayer of increasing this per cent, if the city should own the water plant? We do know that the Negro receives a greater per cent, of his taxes in return by way of employment through a municipal ownership than he does through a long time franchised corporation. The time for us to let these corporations realize our worth and citizenship is when their interest comes up to us by an election, where we are expected to be herded to the polls and vote a $14,400,000 franchise for their benefit and interest; and allow them to continue to slam the doors of their business in the face of our deserving ones, seeking employment. We should see to it that if the Union Water company gets a franchise through our votes, that we have our just representation in the employment of the Union Water company, to represent the Negro's interest in the $14,400,000 franchise proportionately secured and supported by the Negro taxpayer and water consumer.

DENVER ITEMS Wednesday Cottrell's drug store at 21st and Arapahoe streets underwent a change of owners. The new proprietor is Dr. G. A. Allen, who has long been associated with the store as a dispensing pharmacist. He comes into its full management now with ten years of experience in the business behind him, having graduated from Meharry tenyears ago, also with a world of practical experience gained in Pueblo, this city and elsewhere. It is the intention of Dr. Allen to add at once a fresh line of drugs, chemicals and pharmaceuticals so that the prescription department can give instant attention to all orders of no matter what kind. He will make other changes calculated to warrant the patronage of anyone desiring first class service. He will emphasize especially the desirability of trading at "The Allen Drug Store" when in need of toilet articles, proprietaries or patent medicines. David Cottrell who has been the owner of the store, leaves in the next two weeks for Philadelphia where he will remain. Dr. Allen makes a welcome addition to the business men of the community.
