ARIZONA SCHOOL CASE EXPLAINED IN GREATER DETAIL TWENTY-FIRST YEAR ARIZONA CASE DOUGLAS, ARIZ. The great question that confronts the colored people of this city at present is the unequal privileges attempted to be thrust upon them in this city by the white citizens. The matter is that of locating a school for colored children at a far distance from the incorporation; at least one mile from the nearest patron and two miles from a majority of patrons. Rev. J. H. Brown, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is making himself felt along the lines by bringing the county superintendent to time on this matter. See the superintendent's reply. Letter of County Superintendent. Tombstone, Ariz., Dec. 8, 1909. Rev. J. H. Brown, Douglas, Ariz. Dear Sir—Yours of the 2nd is before me. I think that I can see your point of view, but find nothing in the school law that gives me any authority to do anything. The matter of locating a school house is the business of the district. (See page 25.) The matter of giving equal rights and privileges, as far as practical, is one of the duties of the Board of Trustees. (See bottom of page 29 and top of page 30.) I felt at the time and Mr. Latz did, too, that an injustice was being done to locate the school for your people at Bonnyville, but knowing something of the strong prejudices of a part of the people of Douglas, and hearing something of the threats if the school should be erected on the lot first selected, I hoped that the selection of a site at Bonnyville might be best for your people in years to come, making it possible for them to have a settlement in one section of the city. I talked today with Mr. A. C. Lockwood, one of the attorneys of your city—city attorney, I think—and asked him if I could refer you to him and he consented willingly. Now, I know he took a leading part in having the school located at Bonnyville, but from his own talk he looked into the law pretty carefully. I am afraid that my reply will not be satisfactory, but as I said before, I find nothing in the school laws that give me any authority to act in this matter. I am sending you a copy of the school laws; if you can find anything that makes me responsible at all, I DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1909 should be pleased to have you call my attention to it. Desiring that every boy and girl in our county shall have the best possible school privileges, and hoping to be of some use in bringing this to pass, I remain. Yours very truly, E. H. STOVER, County School Supt. Rev. J. H. Brown preached at the Second Baptist church Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m. He carried with him the largest portion of his members at that hour. Those who heard the sermon pronounced the same to have been a feast of things for both old and new. This was upon Rev. J. D. Haley's rally; the sum realized was beyond all expectation. Rev. J. D. Haley left for Globe, Ariz., this week to meet the Mission Board, of which he is secretary. Rev. J. Bell returned to the city last week. All the churches seemed to be moving nicely. Rav. Mills left Thursday for Prescott, Ariz., to take charge of the A.M. E. church at that place. Mrs. Rosina White was elected president of the Stewards' Board. The ladies of the Stewardess' Board are preparing to give a fine program at the A. M. E. church on Friday night the 24th. Santa Claus will be present. Come and bring the little folks. Miss Millin makes a worthy acquisition in the Sunday school at the A. M. E. church. The classes are all on the increase in numbers. Let us have at least ten more additions by the 26th. The teachers are all busy trying to bring their classes up to the highest possible standard. Mrs. Maggie Brown and Rev. J. D. Haley and Mr. Perry subscribed for The Statesman. Miss Ollie Givens left Wednesday for Fort Worth, Texas, to spend the holidays with her relatives, returning some time in January. Series of Services Following Renovation of Noted Church at Baltimore Also Marked Sixty-first Anniversary of Its Class Leaders—$1.400 Raised—Woman's Day Concludes the Celebration. Ebenezer, one of the oldest congregations in the African Methodist Episcopal church, in Baltimore, recently closed a series of meetings following the renovation of the church edifice. Ebenezer is the offspring of "Mother Bethel," in Baltimore, and ranks among the foremost of the 6,000 or more churches in the African Methodist denomination. Among the many prominent men who have filled her pulpit are the late A. REV. J. W. NORRIS. Bishops Daniel A. Payne, John M. Brown, A. W. Wayman, J. B. Camp FIVE CENTS A COPY den, James Shorter, the venerable Rev. George Watkins, Bishop James A. Handy, Rev. J. S. Lee, the late Francis J. Peck and John R. Collett, late manager of the A. M. E. Publishing house at Philadelphia. During the sixty or more years of the existence of the church thousands have been converted at her altars, and many young men from this church have entered the ministry. For years her membership was the largest in the Baltimore conference, and she is now only outranked by the Metropolitan church in Washington. The membership includes many well to do and substantial citizens. The reopening services began with a special sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Norris. The reopening also marked the sixty-first anniversary of the class leaders of the church. Among the many ministers who took part in the services were Revs. James G. Morton, W. E. Williams, A. L. Gaines, P. W. Wortham, D. G. Hill, E. J. Gregg, A. Brown and C. H. Murray, all of Baltimore. A woman's union day service concluded the celebration. Rev. W. H. Gaines of John Wesley church, Baltimore, preached the sermon. The collections amounted to over $1,400. Among the prominent members of the church are Dr. L. D. Dyer, the oldest steward and a most faithful member; Mr. George Cuff, noted for his eloquence in prayer, and Messrs. Alfred Nixon, Jeremiah Stafford and Joseph Frisby, who are three of the most efficient secretaries the church has ever had. Among the many members who took a prominent interest in the celebration are Messrs. V. T. Knox, Alfred Nixon, Joseph Frisby, Steven Glenn, Isaiah Smith, W. H. Garrett, Lloyd Palmer and Samuel Robinson. Rev. Norris, the pastor of the church, has spent over thirty years in the ministry. After studying at Lincoln university, Oxford, Pa., he entered the Philadelphia conference. He was transferred to the Baltimore conference twenty-one years ago, with the exception of three years as pastor of St. Paul church, Washington. He has also served as presiding elder of the Potomac district. Pastor Norris is regarded as one of the most successful ministers in the denomination. Activity of Aurora Reading Circle. The recent meeting of the Ladies' Aurora Reading circle which was held at the home of Mrs. Jesse Gray on Camp street, Herron Hill, Pittsburg, was a splendid success. The literary spirit is growing among them. A number of interesting papers were read and discussed. After a social hour the circle adjourned to meet Dec. 14 at the home of Mrs. Mortimer Dimmey on East street, North Side. Taking Care of the Flowers. One young woman who loves flow- ers and keeps them about in profusion says that she devotes one morning weekly to washing out the vases with hot soda water, made very strong. After each vase has stood filled with this cleansing fluid for fifteen minutes she goes to work with bristle brushes, of which she has a collection, and re- moves the deposit of the flower stems from every nook and corner. Brown soap and water follow this, and, last- ly, two rinsings in clear water. And the drying is done with clean glass towels, followed by a polish with a chamois skin. The process sounds la- borious, but the result repays all ef- fort, for each piece looks like new, and the flowers last much longer be- cause of the cleanliness inside. Net the Right One. “The tall girl over there is a queer on®- sho is sui generis.” “She ain't no such thing: she’s Snoy Jores.” The Polite Professor. Lieut. Shackleton, the Antarctic ex- plorer, in a manly speech which he made in reply to the toast of his health by Mr. Heinemann at the din- ner given by that gentleman at the Savoy hotel, London, told an interest ing story of politeness in the untrod den regions of the Antarctic. His party, he said, were always extremely good-humored and polite, and one pro- fessor in particular attained a degrec of politeness unusual under such try- ing circumstances. “‘Are you busy, Mawson?’ he called out one night to another member of the party who was in the tent. ‘I am,’ said Mawson. ‘Very busy?’ said the professor. ‘Yes. Very busy.’ ‘If you are not too busy, Maw: son, | am down a crevasse.’ The pro fessor was found hanging down a cre vasse by his four fingers, a position whichshe could not have occupied for any length of time.” Could Coin Word, But Not Job. “Dear Sir,” said an applicant for a position to the secretary of the treas- ury,acording to the S@urday Even- ing Post, “I am very anxious to obtain remunerative employment in the treas- ury department. While my education- al advantages do not qualify me for any of the higher places, I could fill one of the minor places to advantage, and | respectfully apply for the posi tion of chief cuspidorian of the de- partment.” The letter came to Assistant Secre- tary Reynolds for reply, and he wrote as follows: “Dear Sir—I regret very much that nothing can be done for you. There is no such place as chief cuspidorian. You have coined the word, but I can- not coin the job.” The Shorter Word. The day before Christmas‘ Edith, aged ten, had a number of packages tied up for distribution. The doc- tor felt of one intended for “Uncle John’--and the rest is as the New York Sun prints it. “That's some tobacco,” said the doc- tor, as he fingered the package. “How can you tell?” asked Edith. ‘Because [ am a Zood diagnosti- cian,” he replied. “Then as Edith seemed somewhat dazed at the big word, the doctor in. quired: rae “Do you know what a diagpostician ig?” “Yes,” she answered, promptly, “it’s @ good guesser.” THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. | | Phone 5247 Main.

Young Institution at Sumter Making Rapid Progress Under the Able Leadership of Dr. E. M. Brawley—New Courses to Be Added—Record Break- Ing Year the Outlook. Present sociological conditions in the southern states require institutions of Jearning that do not make industrial training a panacea for the ills of south- ern Afro-Americans. Baptists in the state of South Carolina have been unit- ed by Dr. E. M. Brawley upon the conviction that they are largely re- sponsible for the training of their chil- dren and that the Afro-Americans in the schools of the south should impart knowledge to their children which will fit them for leaders among their peo- ple. Not ungrateful to the philanthro- pists of the north and other sections, yet Dr. Brawley thinks that it is time for Baptists to conserve their own edu- cational interest and cheerfully accept their peculiar racial responsibilities. The expressions of this denomination are bow concrete, having been molded by Dr. Brawley. On Oct, 6, 1908, in the town of Sum- ter, S. C., with the main building half completed. Morris college, of which Dr. Brawley is president. opened its doors, the total enrollment being 188. dis- tributed as follows: Academy, 24; grammar school, 162; divinity school, e WN ee ee Ty me ow & ve Sr by (oa Qe i SS ‘ mA eS REV. DR. E. M. BRAWLEY. 11; school of music, 20. The academic course covers four years. Students graduating from this department are prepared for freshman work. ‘The di vinity school gives an excellent theo- Jogical training. A school of mechan: ies arts, somewhat similar to the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, is now being planned. This session the college opens with two new depart ments—the school of domestic sclences, not for the purpose of making the girls good servants, but well rounded wo- men, and the commercial course, which fits the students for a life that will bring recognition to the race in the arena of business. The faculty is com Posed of specialists and graduates from some of the leading universities in the country, such ns Chicago universit’, Brown, Fisk, Bucknell and institutions of similar standing. Next year the college department will be added, and fourteer units will be the requirements to enter this denartment. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. To matriculate ror (ie Tresaina. class of the University of South Caro lina only six units are required, and that fs about the standard of southern (white) institutions, Every student is put on his merit. The rules. while strict, give ample opportunity to test the character of students in a way which makes them feel their responst- bility. Over 500 applications bave been re- ceived for the fall terms, which shows a great awakening on Vbe part of Afro Americans of South Carolina that their children need the best training in or der to draw out the best qualities that are in them. | “THAT TURNS AWAY WRATH” Soft Answer of “Poor Lone Body” Nevertheless Had Something of a Sting to It. Ellen stopped scrubbing the ver- anda steps long enough to cast an ad- miring eye on her employer's garden, says the Youth's Companion. “Sure they are fine posies, ye have, doctor,” she said. “I've a neat little house 1 bought with the money I'd put by, and an elegant garden it had last year, too, but now there's neither stick nor stalk in it.” “What was it, hens or dogs?” asked the doctor, sympathetically, mention- ing his own ayersions. “Sure me neighbor—bad luck to her!—had a ditch dug in her land, and the water ran down into me gar- den, and washed all me seeds away.” “And what did you do about it?” “What could a poor lone body like me do?” “Well, didn’t you at least say some- thing to the woman, complain or tell her that you wouldn't stand it?” “Now, doctor, dear, hard words just leads to bad feelings among neigh- bors, and that ye know as well as I do; and it's not me that would be using them. So I only said to her, ‘I hope I'll live to see the floods flow: ing over your grave as your ditch- waters have flowed over me garden,” and I let it go at that.” legible Manuscrint. illegible handwriting, which has giy- en rise to so many Comedies, led to a tragedy in the case of Bacher, a mu- sical enthuiast of the last century, who devoted several years to the compo- sition of a history of Viennese music. His task finished, he submitted the manuscript to the Austrian imperial academy, which he had been led to believe would defray the cost of its publication. After three months his manuscript was returned; despite their best efforts, the members had been unable to decipher it. Bacher then endeavored to have his work copied; but every professional copy- ist who undertook the task had to confess himself baffled. He thereupon attempted dictating the work, only to find that even he could not decipher {t; and heartbroken at the discovery that his years of toil had proved fruit- less, he attempted suicide, and_ fin- ished his days in a lunatic asylum.

Ladies' Auxiliary of the Society of Sons of Virginia One of the Best Governed Mutual Benefit Organizations Among Their Sex in Brooklyn—Harmony and Value of Time Potent Factors in its Progress. By N. B. DODSON. The organization of the Southern Beneficial league of New York over a score of years ago has had a beneficent effect upon Afro-Americans wherever its influence has been felt. It is a mutual benefit organization composed of southern men, and it has had a successful career. Following the example of the Southern league in purpose, but different in scope, a number of similar organizations have been formed, limited in membership by state lines. Among the most prominent are C MRS. JENNIE STEWART. the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, the Society of the Sons of Virginia, the West Indian Benevolent and Protective league and the Sons and Daughters of South Carolina. The purpose of this article, however, is not a resume of these organizations as such, but to show that by the formation of them among the men an opportunity has been given whereby the wives and daughters of the members of such organizations could form themselves into auxiliary bodies for the same purpose, having their own officers and managing their own business. This has been and is a help to them in many ways. They learn how to preside, transact business, execute parliamentary rules, methods of finance and many other helpful things which they would not have the chance to do if they were in the old time secret society with a mixed membership. One of the strongest organizations of the kind in question is the ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn. It has a large membership and is in a flourishing financial condition. During the year under the leadership of its able and energetic president, Mrs. Jennie Stewart, with the hearty co-operation of the membership, the society has nearly doubled itself and there have been several new features introduced which have greatly advanced the organization and have also been an incentive to THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO other women of Virginia birth or who could comply with the rules of membership to join. Out of some sixty or more new members Mrs. Stewart has brought in or caused to be brought in more than half the number. The creation of a board of directors, the formation of a juvenile auxiliary and the strengthening of the financial system are some of the new features of the organization. Chief factors in the growth of the auxiliary have been the peace and harmony of the members, impartial ruling by the president and the one great essential to the prosperity of any organization-it meets on time and closes on time. Notwithstanding the large amount of work which the women have to do in keeping a forward move in their own organization they have always found time to assist the Sons of Virginia whenever called upon in the matter of helping to make the annual reception and the annual summer outing a success. A more enterprising company of women would be hard to find in any section of the country. The officers are Mrs. Jennie Stewart, president; Mrs. A. W. Wiley, vice president; Miss Cora Robinson, financial secretary; Mrs. Josephine Dabney, recording secretary, and Mrs. Annie Durrell, treasurer. New Officers For Hiram Lodge. At the recent communication of Hiram lodge, Free and Accepted Masons Brooklyn, a large number of members was present to hear the annual reports and to elect officers for the ensuing year. After a brief address by R. Jackson, master of the lodge, in which he thanked the members for their loyal support of his administration, the following officers were elected: J. L. Love, worshipful master; Fred Johnson, senior warden; Edward Philips, junior warden; William Edwards, secretary; R. A. Royster, treasurer, and S. W. Timms, trustee. Ventha Club's Annual Dinner. The Calantha club and the Honor Roll club of the ladies' auxiliary of Iron City company, uniformed rank. Knights of Pythias, are making great preparations to present the company with a fine silk flag in honor of their fourth annual Thanksgiving supper and entertainment to be held Thanksgiving eve at the big Masonic hall. North Side, Pittsburg. In addition to the supper and flag presentation, a short but interesting program will be rendered, concluding with an old style Maryland and Virginia march and promenade. Cairo (III.) In Need of Missionaries. J. H. Murphy, the venerable editor of the Afro-American Ledger at Baltimore, expresses the hope that the "worldwide movement" for the evangelization of the heathen, which is to begin active work in January, 1910, will not forget to send several missionaries to Cairo, Ill. He says editorially: "If there is any place in the world where they are needed it is in Cairo. Do not by any means forget this important center." Young Orchestra Appreciated. The fourth annual entertainment and dance of the Charles Hudson orchestra, which was recently held at Sumner hall, Brooklyn, was a most enjoyable affair. The orchestra was greatly strengthened in volume and vocal harmony by the "Sonnie" Somers Comedy company. A large number of patrons was in attendance and showed their appreciation of the splendid music furnished for dancing by frequent applause. --- Richard Shaw's Good Fortune. Faithful Head Waiter of Senate Restaurant. Who Has Served In That Capacity For More Than Thirty Years. Becomes Its Proprietor by Consent of the Committee on Rules. After serving for over thirty years in the capacity of head waiter in the senate restaurant at Washington, where he was also intrusted with the purchasing of supplies for the culinary department, which involved the expenditure of hundreds of dollars daily, Richard Shaw, familiarly known to every senator in the United States as Dick Shaw, has been given by the committee on rules absolute control of the senate restaurant in his own right. Besides having charge of the restaurant for senators in the senate wing of the capitol, Mr. Shaw will also have charge of the restaurant for senators in the new marble senate office building, situated just to the northeast of the senate proper. These are some of the most important concessions ever given by that [Image of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a suit and tie. The background is a plain, light color. The man's face is centered in the frame, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer.] RICHARD SHAW. body to an Afro-American, and he obtained them purely upon his merits, for it is a well known fact that both Democrats as well as Republicans were in favor of giving this over to Shaw. As some of the senators are among the most wealthy men of the nation it will be seen that their gastronomic tastes must be attended to without regard to cost. Mr. Shaw has been around the senate so long that he knows quite accurately just what these solons prefer. He has known all the senators personally from the days of the supremacy of Blaine and Conkling down to the present time. But Mr. Shaw has made the most of his opportunities. He is a property owner, has an interesting family and enjoys some of the comforts of life. He has educated his children, all three of his daughters being graduates of the Washington normal school. One is happily married, and the other two are teachers in the city schools. His son is a thrifty young man who is on the government payroll at the capitol. The good impression that Mr. Shaw has made upon those with whom he has come in contact is an evidence of his real worth and the high esteem in which he is held. PAGE 13 Berlin's "One-Kitchen" Apartments Did Not Receive the Support Looked For. The so-called one-kitchen houses, blocks of flats with one common kitchen on the American plan, which it was hoped would prove a success in Berlin, have got into trouble after a brief existence, a New York Sun correspondent says. A syndicate which with borrowed money had erected large blocks of such flats in various parts of the town found itself in difficulties, and one morning the tenants were unable to procure their breakfast, no provisions having been delivered and the kitchen staff having been dismissed. As the tenants failed to get satisfaction from the estate manager they appointed a kitchen staff of their own, but the receiver of the syndicate, re-enforced by a squad of police, turned the new staff out and barricaded the kitchens. Most of the tenants took their troubles philosophically and inserted in a local paper the following notice surrounded by a mourning border: "To-day after prolonged agony, assisted by the official receiver, the death has taken place of inanition of our well-beloved only kitchen, cut off in the tender age of two months and eight days. The bereaved tenants sorrowfully beg for public sympathy." An Exaggeration. Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox, at a dinner in New York, said of the pronunciation of English names: "They are hard, aren't they?" Mainwaring is pronounced Mannering and Beauchamp Beecham. But they're not so hard as I heard an American girl declare they were the other night. "Oh, those English names of yours!" said she. "To spell a name Cholmondeley and actually pronounce it Marchbanks!" A Queer Hospital Patient. A most unusual patient was successfully treated at the London hospital one day recently, when a pet hen, belonging to two little East End children, had a broken leg set. While scratching for food in a back yard, "Polly" who was the pet of the family, caught her leg in the fence and broke it. The patient was wrapped up in an apron and conveyed to the hospital. The door-keeper shook his head and explained that the hospital was not a "fowl run." The children—brother and sister—were turning away when one of the house surgeons who was going off duty, learning the nature of their visit, invited them inside, and proceeded to set the broken, limb. "Polly" is not yet able ot dig for worms, but is doing as well as could be expected. Kindly Polygamist. The sleepy Lithuanian town of Minsk, Russia, has been harboring a man who has married twenty women. John Pries' twentfeth wife had him arrested the other day for "bigamy," but at the trial it developed that he had committed polygamy. With great confidence the accused called some of his wives to testify in his behalf, and each one of them spoke highly of him. In his defense Pries testified: "I know there is some law about a man having only one wife, but, your honor, I know there are many more women than men in Minsk and I could not bear to see so many fine women become old maids." The judge dealt mercifully with him, sentencing him to only three months in prison. PAGE.14 M. W. GRAND LODGE A. F. & A. M. For Colorado and Jurisdiction, meets in Pueblo in August, 1910. P. H.

Webster Davis is pastor, was comfortably filled with an appreciable and interesting audience that turned out to hear Madam T. D. Perkins deliver one of her most interesting lectures to women alone on "How to Treat and Preserve the Hair." Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the church was well nigh filled to its seating capacity. Madam Perkins certainly did reveal many secrets to the ladies relative to the proper care of their hair and the proper tonics to be used for its preservation. Madam Perkins is an expert in the hair dressing and treatment profession. Her presence in Richmond has been a blessing to many. She has gotten into the hearts of her customers and their friends, and she has all that it is possible for any one person to do in her particular line. Mrs. Perkins will for the next two weeks be located in the city of Manchester, where she will open her office for the benefit of the ladies of that city at No. 1501 Bainbridge street. Her lecture was filled with interest and knowledge of the head and the hair of the race. She has the promise of a good business during her two weeks' stay in Manchester. All left the church with the name of Madam Perkins on their lips. Madam Perkins was degree with a large number in the degree chamber of Richmond Division of True Reformers Nov. 29, 1909.—Richmond Reformer. Musical Ability of Afro-Americans. In nearly every instance where the Afro-American has given time to the study of music he has achieved success. This was shown not long ago in Jamaica, British West Indies, where the bandmaster of a regiment of nati troops equipped a number of men with musical instruments and taught them the art of playing sufficiently enough in six months to appear in public. They were recently invited to England to give a series of concerts. Iron City Company's Annual Supper. The fourth annual supper and flag presentation of Iron City company.

"A mild-mannered and genial Tenneseean, named Galloway, was elected to the state senate from Shelby county." said Secretary Dickinson of the war department, himself from Tennessee, "but there was a protest over it because, it was claimed, Galloway had been concerned in a duel in his younger days. The time came for swearing in the senators and the clerk called the roll by counties. When Shelby county was reached Galloway, wearing a long frock coat, stepped into the aisle. "Mistuh president and senatuhs," he said, 'I have heard of this yere protest against my sitting in this body as a senatuh because I once engaged in an affair of honah. Now, suh, I want to say that I did engage in an affair of honah in my younger days in the state of Mississippi, and latuh in another affair of honah in the state of Arkansaw. Once again I engaged in an affain of honah as second, not as a principal, in the state of Mississippi. "I contend, suh, that the state of Tennessee has no jurisdiction ovuh what is done in other states, and I am here to say, suh, that if any senatuh thinks otherwise and does not vote for me at this time I shall call him out, by gad, suh!—call him out and hold him personally responsible to me, suh. That's all." "And they all voted for him."—Saturday Evening Post. PRESENTED WITH A BIRTHDAY Henceforth John Pruitt Will Celebrate Natal Day with Others on the Glorious Fourth. It isn't everybody who can give a birthday present like William E. Berner gave to John Pruitt, colored, couple of days ago. Berner is the marriage license clerk at the county clerk's office, and as such he encounters all kinds of queer situations. The other day Pruitt came in to get a license to wed Eliza Clinkenbeard. Before a license can be procured nowadays one must answer in writing all kinds of foolish questions, among them being the date of birth. Pruitt scratched his head when asked his natal day. "Fact is, Ah don't know," he said. "Don't know how old you are?" Berner asked. "Not for sure. Somewheres near 40, I guess." "Haven't you a birthday?" "Never had a birthday." "Well, I'll make you a present of a birthday right now," said Berner. "Everybody should have a birthday. You are 40 years old and you were born on the Fourth of July." And Berner wrote it down on the marriage license papers that way. "Now, remember." said Berner when Pruitt started to leave. "You were born on the Fourth of July and you mustn't forget to celebrate your birthday when it comes around." "I won't," said Pruitt, highly pleased.—Indianapolis News. Fletcherism and Waiters. "Fletcherism may be good for the digestion of the diner, but it is bad for the pocketbook of the waiter." said a THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD restaurant proprietor. "People who chew according to Fletcher sit at the table so long that they keep other customers away, and so cut down the number of tips. You don't see many of these scientific eaters at linch time—even the Fletcherites don't have time to keep tab on the movement of their jaws then; but at night there are many people abroad who eat by rule. You can pick them out in any restaurant. They count as they masticate. "I have two regular customers who chew exactly 100 times on one bite of bread alone. At that rate you can figure how long it will take to get through a meal. Also, you can understand that the waiters don't think much of Fletcher and his disciples." Fish Flew in His Boat. A. Paladini, the local fish merchant, the other day exhibited a flying fish which had been brought in by his fishing steamer, the Henrietta. Fying fish are numerous in the waters of southern California, but they are rarely seen in this vicinity. While the Henrietta was steaming along about five miles beyond the Farallones the fish flew upon the deck and Capt. Alexander brought it into port. It is a foot long and weights nearly two pounds--San Francisco Call. Epicurean Literary Man. M. Marcel Prevost, the French novelist and the latest elected academician, seems to be something of a Lucullus. He likes ortolans, but "they must have been fattened for six months in a cage in my own house." A certain "estouffade de boeuf" seems a simple dish, but it "must have simmered slowly for two days." When M. Prevost has roasted saddle of lamb at home he will eat only lamb that has been brought up since birth by two ewes, "devoted entirely to the service of that one lamb." Medical Advice by Wireless. While the oil steamer Asuncion was off the California coast recently the Humboldt wireless station at Eureka received a message saying that a sailor had fallen from the rigging, suffering injuries which caused internal hemorrhages. Medical advice for the injured man was asked. The wireless station communicated with Dr. Charles Falk of the marine service, who prescribed treatment. The steamer remained hove to until the prescription of the physician had been received by wireless. New Bone for Finger. Surgeons in all parts of the country are taking great interest in the remarkable surgical operation which has just been successfully performed in Trenton, N. J., by Dr. E. B. White, formerly head of the staff of the McKinley hospital. Several weeks ago tenyear-old Walter Barry was playing in his father's barn with a hay cutter, and his hand slipped through the feed chute. One of the fingers on his left hand was completely severed between the first and second points. Dr. White was called and tried to have the bones united by stitching the severed parts together, but failed. As a last resort, before entirely amputating the finger, the surgeon removed the bone between the first and second joints and allowed the secretions of the body to fill the space, practically growing a bone in place of the one removed.

The features upon the program were the piano solo by Mrs. Mabel Fallings, the vocal solo by the Misses Fisher and Genevieve Marks, who sang so beautifully and sentimentally that an encore was the resule in each case. Miss Marks sang "Lonesome" so pathetically and effectively that even after the songs some members of the audience was heard humming the tune. Nevt Tuesday night is election, and a "student" program.

On last Thursday evening, despite the stormy weather, which was the worst we have had this year, more than 200 persons went to East Turner Hall and saw the All-Star Minstrels present a good bill of fun-making specialties and the regular minstrel first part. The performance was staged by Leon Pryor, who, with "Son" Edwards, were the crack end men. The liberal applause throughout the evening was the best proof that the show was a winner. One of the best features of the evening was that of Lee Wilson, of Colorado Springs. The management is entitled to the praise of those who attend such productions for the broader view, which caused him to reach out and summon talent from our sister city, and Colorado Springs is to be congratulated upon the excellence of its representative here. The costuming, and the choruses were features of the evening. At the close there was dancing to the music of the Great Western orchestra. Those participating were Earl Jones, Jesse Stone, Fred Clark, John Carrie, Julius Ragsville, "Son" Edwards, Lee Wilson, James Grey, Bud Thomas, George Dean and Leon Pryor.

Eloquent Western Leader, Now Regis- ter of the United States Treas- ury, Enhances His Reputation In the Land of Dixie. Richmond, Virginia, December 9. 1909. BJOCEMIUEL 8, Ad. ~~ Hon. W. T. Vernon, known far and wide as “Everybody's Register of Everybody's Treasury,” delivered an address last night in the spacious au- ditorium of True Reformers’ Hall, be- fore one of the greatest and most in- tellectual gatherings ever assembled in the proud capital of the common- wealth of Virginia. The elite of Rich- mond society was there in force, and the oldest inhabitants said it was the most brilliant and exclusive audience they had seen at any time within the walls of a Richmond hall. The lead- ers in church, office and affairs of state came early in order to secure seats and hear the magnetic Dr. Ver- non, whose reputation as a classic orator had preceded him. His subject was “The Future of the Negro tm America,” and this fruitful theme was handled in an eloquent and exhaustive manner, carrying with it valuable information touching the past and present history of our peo- ple, and discussing in prophetic fash- ion our prospects for years that are to come. He was generously applaud- ed throughout, and at the close was tendered a pronounced ovation and presented with an Immense boquet of American Beauty roses. Many tributes were paid Dr. Ver- non, by both the white and colored press, and an eloquent tribute was de- livered by Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist church—the greatest organization of that denom. Ination in Virginia. Said Mr, John. son: “He is an orator of calm, impassion- ed, sparkling, conversational grace, of restrained intensity, of insuperable poise, of broad culture, who, showing tne high art of achieving great results by the simplest means, conducts his audience, not only by a steady flame, but by a succession in lightning flashes, crowds long processes of rea- soning into an epigram, abashes po- litical selfishness by a classical jest, punctures his stately reputation with a diamond point or a fatal epithet, and with no more apparent effort than that of breathing, he utters the word which is destined to become the watchward of the struggling Negroes cf this country.”—West Virginia Ad- yocate. Register Vernon, at the invitation of Bishop B. F. Lee, visited South Carolina and addressed the citizens of Columbia on Monday, Dec, 13, and the eitizens of Charleston on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Dr. Vernon also visited Al- len University, the school supported by the A. M. E. denomination in that Episcopal District, and also addressed the South Carolina Conference. He was accorded many honors. The “Columbia State,” the leading white daily of Columbia, published his ad- dress, and commented yery favorably upon the same, This was duplicated hy the Charleston “News and Courier,” one of the great papers of the South, ond for many years the leading pub- lication of the Southern Atlantic sea- board—the paper furnishing a report: er for this great meeting, which was attended by aristocratic Charleston, made up of the exclusive circles of the South.

The Register returned to Washing: ton to meet Bishop Abraham Grant, the great churchman, so popular in the Fifth Episcopal District, and known throughout the country for his piety and good deeds, Bishop Grant was in Washington attending the meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board, which met at the White House—President Taft being a mem- ber of this great organization. While in Washington the Bishop, with the Register, conferred wit: President Taft, senators and leading men of the country, returning home by way of Indianapolis. The West is fortunate in having as a resident of this district a man of such power and influence and so help- ful to his race as Bishop Grant.— News Letter. PROGRAMME OF THE PEOPLE'S SUNDAY ALLIANCE FOR DEC., 1909, The Board of Directors of the Al- liance feels that in keeping with the spirit of progress and advancement that the negro should be as intelli- gent on all questions as any other American citizen. There is no ques- tion demanding our attention that is more vital than the present ravages of consumption. And we, as the great- est sufferers, should be acquainted with the conditions and seek to eradi- cate the disease that is decimating our ranks. Consequently the board has arranged with our local colored physicians to read a series of papers on this subject endeavoring to ac- quaint the people with the dangers and warn them to flee from the con- Sequences of ignorance. The papers will be (he same as those read before the Colorado State Association for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis. December 25.

My Place of concealment was in the branches of a fallen dead spruce. I had not been waiting long before a White footed mouse appeared among the branches on the ground almost un- der me. It was interesting to see how freely he moved from place to place, appear- ing now here and now there, all the while traveling under the snow, which had many caverns formed in it by the sun, for it was early spring. Another mouse soon made his ap- pearance, and I watched the two for some time as they searched for food. It was not long before one of the mice was nibbling at my shoe, but the slightest movement of my foot, which was resting on the trunk of the tree, sent him scurrying to the shelter of the branches below. By patient ad- vances, however, I was able to touch the little fellow with the tips of my extended fingers, and five minutes la- ter I was stroking his back as you might stroke a kitten’s.—St. Nicholas, MEANT IT AS COMPLIMENT Remark of Colored Porter That Showed Him to Be True Stu- dent of Human Nature. A southerner, noted for the liberal- ity of his tips, stopped at a Baltimore hotel where colored porters predom- inated. His name was speedily known to every member of the serving fra- ternity, and his every wish anticipat- ed. Soon after his arrival he sent his card to a friend who made his home in the hotel, but whose temperament happened to be quite the opposite of that of his open-handed caller—retir- ing, not given to “tipping,” or any oth- er form of sociability, and who there- fore lived almost unknown to those about him. The old “darkey” who received the card studied it for a full minute. “Scuse me, colonel,” he said, “but I don’t bleebe nobody by dat pame come here dis mawning.” “This morning!" returned the other. “Of course not! Mr. Blank has lived here for months. You know my name well enough and J haven't been here a day. Do you mean to say you can't remember a man who has made his home here since sometime last win- ter?” “Scuse me, colonel, sah,” began the old man, deferentially, “but you must know, sah’—as if uttering the sub- tlest compliment—“dat dere’s gem- mans what can make demsels more notorious in one day, sah, dan odder gemmans does in a year, sah!”— Youth’s Companion. Lion Killed Kangaroo. The most thrilling act at a circus performance at Kilmore, Victoria, the other evening was one that had not a place on the program. It was an an- imal act, and the participants were a lion and a kangaroo. Something had evidently put the lion in a bad tem- per. He growled savagely at the end of the performance in the animals’ cage, but the keeper was cool and de- termined. As he sought to turn the angry beast into its own cage, opening trom that in which the performance ‘was given, the lion, evaaing the keep- er by a swift movement, made a rush at the kangaroo. The latter got in some powerful kicks on the body of its assailant, but it could not throw him off, and soon gave up the struggle, and died shortly after the lion had buried its fangs in its flesh. Great excitement reigned, and several per- sons made a hurried exit from the cir- cus tent while the unequal combat was in progress. The Best He Could Do. “Explorers hate to take back or amend anything they have written,” said F. S. Dallenbaugh of the Ameri- can Geographical society. ‘They are like the Waldo editor there. “A man entered the Waldo editor's office and shouted, angrily: “You said in yesterday’s paper that I'd been hanged. It’s false. I've nev- er been condemned, let alone hanged.’ “Well, my friend,’ said the other, “it’s our policy never to issue direct contradictions. They shake the con- fidence of the reader. But I'll tell you what we'll do for you. We'll say you were cut down before life was ex- tinct.” Strange Occurrence In Church. A peculiar accident happened in a church at Ilford, Eng., one Sunday re- cently, which created no little stir amongst the congregation. While Mrs. Isabella Lucas, was sitting with friends in a pew near the end of the organ, one of the massive pipes fell out and struck her on the head, in- flicting severe injuries. The doctor who attended her said that but for the force of the blow being broken by a thick bonnet which she was wearing the lady would certainly have been killed. LAST WISH OF GREAT ARTIST Dying Request of Great Painter Was for Royal Recognition of His Wife. The only cloud upon the happiness of Millais was the fact that Lady Millais—Ruskin’s divorced wife— could not be received at court. Queen Victoria's prejudices were so strong that she excluded from this honor ever woman who had been divorced, bo matter for what cause; and Lady Millais suffered with the rest. Her husband was tormented by this ex- clusion, which seemed to him unjust. In his last days, as he lay dying, the princess of Wales—now Queen Al- exandra—drove to his house to ask him about his health. He begged that he might see her, and she was es- corted to his studio, where he lay upon a couch unable to get up. The princess spoke to him with great cor- diality, and finally, when she rose to g0, she asked: “Is there anything whatever that I can do for you, Sir John?” “Yes,” returned the dying man; “there is one thing that your royal highness can perhaps do for me. If you will promise it, I shall die with nothing to afflict my mind.” The princess, somewhat surprised by his earnest tone, gave him the promise that he asked. “There is only one thing that I wish to ask,” said he, “and that {s that you will try to have Lady Millais received at court.” The princess, greatly moved, gave her promise; and it was not very long before the widowed woman was invited to a royal drawing room.— Munsev’s. a We are now pleased to announce to q the public that we are now locating at 4 2057% Larimer street with all kinds of hair goods and crnamental goods of q all kinds, and we also announce we « bave a full line of millinery in the q _ latest Parisian style in bats and ben q nets of all kinds. q Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. i Mrs. J.

THE FINEST IN THE CITY We Wish You All a Merry, Merry Christmas Young Men’s Christian Brotherhood is worthy only of condemnation. The Brotherhood is for the Christian and moral uplift of our young men, a the designing climber who would drag it into the muck and mire of partisan strife lacks interest in the commun- ity’s and the race’s welfare. Watch well the holy things by which the race should profit and visit with your severest condemnation the men whose little souls do not rise to a wholesome respect for them. There are legiti- mate ways of showing one’s influence, and the attack on the “barrel” need not be made at the expense of the community’s welfare. The man whose mental ability or whose moral courage is so lacking as to take improper means to accomplish his purpose, con- victs himself of lacking the proper equipment for leadership, and the community will do well to beware of him.

The fran- chises first of all with the ety elec- tion, then the fall election, will give the genius politicanus much to do. We regret that in the past the whole community in all of its ramfications has had to bear with the activities of politicians both those which are pro- per and those which are improper. The attempt to subvert the church, the social club, the Young Men’s Christian Brotherhood, to say nothing of the organization of fake political clubs, is to be deplored. We do not pose as leaders in civic righteousness, nor profess to be so much better than other men that we may criticise all things. But some things are so far beneath the proprieties that we do not hesitate to condemn them. So it is that the early attempt to get a foot- hold in politics, or in franchise ad- justment through subverting the DENVER ITEMS Hurrah for Campbell Chapel, at Twenty-third and Lawrence streets.

The Masons, at East Turner Hall, Dec. 27, give the big event of the holidays. Meet your friends there. The Alliance had a big meeting Sunday, the piece de resistance being the paper of Dr. Westbrook, which was misquoted in the daily press and thereby occasioned much comment. The opinions of the doctor summed up are that a sanatorium is needed for the care of the members of the race who fall victims to tuberculosis. He gave statistics showing the percentage of sick among us from that cause, both from the American medical records and from the special statistics gotten up by Prof. DuBois. Many speeches were made and some of the comment attacked the validity of statistics compiled about Negro sick by white men. The meeting closed with the doctor answering, and the public asking many questions bearing upon tuberculosis among the race.
