EAST TURNER HALL FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY TO EXTEND FIELD OF ASSISTANCE FOR SOUTHERN SCHOOLS JEANES BOARD MEETS. Authorizes 152 More Negro Teachers in South—Session at White House—Fetition Received for General Extension of Undertaking Provided for by $1,000,000 Fund Bequeathed by Philadelphia Woman—Prof. B. C. Caldwell Appointed Assistant to President Dillard. President Taft, as a member of the board which administers the Negro rural school fund of $1,000,000 bequeathed by Miss Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia, met with his fellowmembers of the board in his office yesterday afternoon and helped to dispatch some important business in connection with the movement to assist in the improvement of the small rural schools for the colored children of the South. With President Taft, the members of the board are: Andrew Carnegie. Dr. Booker T. Washington, George Foster Peabody, Robert C. Ogden. Belton Gilreath, of Birmingham; Chancellor Barrow, of the University of Georgia; Dr. Frissell, of Hampton; George McAneny, borough president of Manhattan; James H. Dillard, of New Orleans; Bishop Grant, of Kansas; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of Columbia, S. C.; J. C. Napier, of Nashville; Walter H. Page, editor of World's Work; Major R. R. Norton, of Hampton, Va.; R. L. Smith, of Paris, Tex., and Dr. Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia. Most of these members, including McCarnegie and Dr. Washington, attended the meeting, which was opened with prayer by Bishop Grant. Authorizes 152 Teachers. The main business transacted was the authorization of the employment of 152 workers, comprising colored teachers divided into three classes known as extension teachers, supervising teachers, and organizers. The work of this corps will be in co-operation with 1.700 rural schools and 13 colleges in the South. The board received the petition of 100 colored teachers and principals for the general extension of the undertaking authorized by the fund which work is now in its second year. It was resolved by the board that an endeavor should be made to increase the fund. The board appointed Prof. B. C. Caldwell, of Louisiana, as assistant to its president, who is James H. Dillard, of New Orleans, formerly dean of Tulane University. Yesterday morning the executive committee of the Jeanes fund board met in the District building and discussed certain phases of the work now being done in the South. This consists largely in arousing and encouraging the colored people to selfhelp, in promoting school improvement and the lengthening of school terms, and in introducing simple forms of industrial work. The workers under the Jeanes fund also expect to organize the people for home improvement and for better sanitation. The fund is used to a certain extent in promoting the building of schools by small contributions in communities where the people seem determined to improve the school conditions.-Washington Post, December 17, 1909. MUSIC LOVERS OUT IN STORM Although the crowd was very meagre last Wednesday night, yet the Choral Club and a few other participants were there and very creditably rendered their program. The night being "Negro Composers' Night," an unusually large crowd was expected, because of the race pride and race loyalty the music committee were trying to develop and stimulate. The following had charge of the program: N. G. Walker, president; L. L. McGruder, acting president; Mrs. Dishman, A. A. Waller, Nelsine Howard, Mrs. Fallings, Mrs. E. L. Faulkner, M. T. Jackson, Mrs. Lillian Jones, Miss Gertie Nichols, Miss Mabel Fore and Attorney Geo. G. Ross. It was a benefit for Clarence Cameron White of Washington, D. C., the student of the violin under the celebrated M. Zacharewitch of London, England. The following composers were represented: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor of London, England; Harry T. Burleigh and William Marim Cook of New Cook. Mrs. Faulkner was the pianist of the evening, the program being as follows: Chorus from "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," S. Coleridge-Toylar, Azalia Hackley Choral Club; piano selection, "Negro," S. Coleridge Taylor (author), (a) "The Stones are Very Hard," "Southeast Africa," (b) "The Bamboula" (African dance); "Creta," by Mrs. Minnie Williams-Hayes; mezzo soprana, "Red, Red Rose" (Cook), by Miss Isenora Finley; piano solo, (a) "Negro Love Song from African Suite," (b) "At Dawn of Day," Southeast Africa (Taylor), by Levi Lawrence McGruder; violin "Legend," from Concertuck (Taylor), Mr. Easley; contralto song, "Jean" (Burleigh), by Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones; piano, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," "Am- erican Negro" (Taylor), by Mrs. Minnie Williams-Hayes; violin, "Valse Caprice" (Taylor), by Morgan Thomas Jackson; soprano, "Onaway! Awake, Beloved!" (Taylor), from "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," by Mrs. Eliza Tompkins-Dishman; piano selection, "Two Moorish Tone Pictures" (Taylor), (a) "Andallia," (b) "Zurifa," by Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, and the Choral Club closed the program with another selection from Hiawatha. It can be easily seen that if the program is studied that the Negro posses the highest kind of musical art which is only in its infancy. The committee will give another program in the near future in order to awaken the necessary interest to develop and cherish our own. EUREKA LITERARY HOLDS ELEC TION. Bubbling over with Xmas festivities and everybody feeling good natured, the annual election of officers Tuesday night only marked another pleasant page in the history of the society. New members were voted in and many old ones reinstated and this year is predestined to be the banner year for all around success. A vote of thanks was given the retiring administration and an era of good feeling permeated the whole evening's entertainment. The hot waffles that have made the society famous in the refreshment line were destroyed by the scores. The program was very classy, as many of our brilliant talent appeared. The election resulted as follows: President, A. Wayman Ward, first vice president, Allen L. Davis; second vice president, Miss Dorothy DeNeal; secretary, Miss DeNeal; treasurer, Miss Pathenia Lyons; assistant secretary, Miss Gertie Nichols; sergeants-at-arms, C. A. Tasker and William Lindsay; journalist, Ray Clark. The president's inaugural address will be made next Tuesday night. THE ALLIANCE HEARS OF LABOR A very appreciative audience heard Commissioner E. V. Brake, of the State Labor Bureau, address the Alliance, and many practical suggestions were given. Many participated in the labor discussions and much interest and information was the consequence. The month of January promises to be a month when our physicians will advise us in medical matters, and also matters of sanitation. The Alliance has these papers read to you so that you may neither reject or accept but that you may weigh and consider. Remember the Alliance, as is always said by its president, Shorts, is the people's forum, where every one can come and express his or her opinion, be it great or small, in their own way. Sunday is Business Sunday. TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE NOTES. Kansas soil knows no color line. Two of our young men, Lewis Ford and Raymond Bradshaw, entered their corn in the Shawnee County Corn Growers' contest. They were the only Negro boys in the contest. Both of them were successful in securing a Corn Institute Scholarship at the State Agricultural College. They left Monday morning for their 10 days' institute work. Our farmers have done considerable butchering. Recently they have killed and packed over 3,000 pounds of pork, 350 pounds of lard and made 200 pounds of sausage and have not finished yet. During the year we will kill 4,500 pounds of beef. The farm is quite a helper. Prof. M. W. Freeman, vice-president, left Monday morning for Rochester, N. Y., where he will represent our institution at the International Student Volunteer Movement. This gathering will be composed of college representatives from every part of the world. Several students have enrolled since the Christmas holidays. We trust that the prospective students will bear in mind the necessity of prompt enrollment. The plasterers are finishing their work in the new Academic building. The steam plant has already been installed. We expect the building ready for occupancy in a short time. All are still talking of Christmas festivities. It was indeed a season of joy to all. Every student received a present from the Christmas tree. The Christmas dinner was all a heart could wish. The students enjoyed most the reception given by President and Mrs. Carter at their home Christmas evening. No pains were spared to make it pleasant for all. NOTICE TO CHORAL CLUB MEMBERS.

FRANKLIN 1026 Nineteenth Street Phone Main 7905 Prompt Service Reasonable Prices SUMMARY OF FACTS CONCERNING DENVER'S WATER COMPANY PAGE.12 Recently the Denver Union Water Company has placed before the citizens and taxpayers a series of communications containing information about the plant that supplies water in the city of Denver, and about other water plants in the United States. The purpose of the information was announced by Mr. D. H. Moffat in a letter dated September 27, in which he said, in part: "It is my purpose to have the officials of the water company make public complete and detailed statements of the property, affairs and business of the company, so the property owners may know the truth, and, at least, decide any questions submitted with their eyes open, and free from the jealousy, spite and malignity of certain newspaper articles. The truth of such statements, so prepared, I shall personally stand for. "The plant cannot de duplicated for several millions of dollars more than the appraised price, and I have given this matter special attention. "The water rights alone, even when devoted to irrigation use, are, in my opinion, worth in excess of seven million dollars. "Necessary as this enterprise, and its success, was to every property holder in Denver, it has been impeded, not only by the difficulties which the problem itself and nature presents, but by the vicious, untruthful and constant political assaults, until it can be said that, of all the large public enterprises of this city or state, it is the only one which has not been profitable to its stockholders." Since Mr. Moffat's letter was made public communications have been submitted to the people by the officials of the water company, as follows: History of various companies since the first water company was formed (dated October 8, 1909). Inventory of plant (dated October 14, 1909). Valuation of the water rights of the company (dated October 22, 1909). Detailed report of Board of Appraisers (dated October 29, 1909). Detailed discussion of large map (dated November 12, 1909). Views and description of Lake Cheesman, the bulwark of Denver's water supply (dated November 18, 1909). The views of the water plants in 34 large cities in the country compared with the valuation placed upon the Denver plant by the Board of Appraisers (dated November 26, 1909). Views and descriptions of the filtration system (dated December 10, 1909). Financial report showing earnings and disbursements of the company, and investment in the plant (dated December 17, 1909). These communications have shown: That for the population served, and the demand for water, there is no more complete or extensive water plant in the country. That no plant has more ample provisions to care for the future growth of the city. That the valuation placed upon the property by the Board of Appraisers is, to say the least, conservative. To enable the citizens to better understand the discussion of the water system there was distributed also a standard map of Denver and contiguous sections of Colorado, showing graphically the locations of the dis- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. tributing mains, fire hydrants, reservoirs, pumping stations, sources of supply, main supply conduits, filtration plants, and other important parts of the system. Also photographic views of Cheesman and Marston lakes, Cheesman dam and other properties, with tables comparing the Denver system with water systems in 24 large cities in the United States. The views of Cheesman dam show how much larger that structure is than the largest buildings in Denver, and gives an idea of the task undertaken in the construction of that work in the heart of an almost inaccessible mountain district 23 miles from the nearest railroad point. The map shows how the developed portion of the city is already supplied with water, and how widely scattered is the population. The tables discussing the mileage of water mains in the 24 cities show that for each inhabitant of those cities there are only 6.71 feet of water main. In the system of the Denver Union Water Company there are 12.24 feet of main for each inhabitant of Denver, nearly double the average of the 24 cities. Denver was the first city in the "truly arid section" of the United States to obtain a public water supply. It is still the only large city in the "truly arid section," hence the acquisition of its supply has been distinctly pioneer work. The problems presented in securing and retaining its supply were different from those that had been solved in communities where water is found in reasonable quantities or in abundance. In those sections the only difficulty was the diversion of the water from natural streams or lakes and its distribution. In Denver the problem involved virtually the creation of sources of supply. No city anywhere near the size of Denver has yet surmounted the natural difficulties or expense that have been surmounted in securing Denver's supply. The system of the Denver Union Water Company for the population served has the largest and most complete artificial water storage system in the world. Eleven large reservoirs with a capacity of 33,000,000,000 gallons assure more than two years' reserve supply without replenishing. Besides the storage reserve the company owns water rights that assure an abundance of water for a population of at least 500,000. In the hearing before the appraisers it was shown that in the 10 years last preceding the hearing the water rights of the company had produced exclusive of reserve storage water, an average supply of 124,000,000 gallons daily the year round. The average daily consumption of water in Denver last year was 44,000,000 gallons. The maximum summer consumption on a number of days was 60,000,000 gallons. During the irrigating season the company protects its rights to the water not needed in Denver by irrigating farms outside the city. No water is held for speculative purposes, and the entire supply is available whenever the city grows to need it. During the non-irrigating season the company's reservoirs store the surplus water so it is ready for distribution in the seasons when it is required. The Board of Appraisers placed a valuation of $2,845,925 upon the water rights, independent of the other property of the company. The 124,000,000 gallons daily average supply actually available during the 10 years preceding the appraisement aggregates 138,506.55 acre feet per annum, but ready for distribution during irrigation seasons because of the company's storage capacity. The valuation fixed by the appraisers on the basis of this actual production is at the rate of only $53.00 per acre foot of water under the conditions governing the sale of water for irrigation. At the time of the appraisement and since, water rights were and are being sold near Denver and in other sections of Colorado under irrigation systems actually delivering water at prices ranging from $60.00 to $83.33 per acre foot. The usual plan of selling irrigation rights is on the basis of aggregate direct flow, appropriation, and storage capacity. On this basis the aggregate of the company's direct flow appropriations and reservoir capacity is 245,000 acre feet per annum, and the valuation fixed by the Board of Appraisers is at the rate of only $29.94 per acre foot. At the time of the appraisement and since, irrigation projects not yet completed were and are selling water rights on this basis, at prices ranging from $30.00 to $70.00 per acre foot. At the actual selling price of water under irrigation projects in Colorado the value of the company's water rights for irrigating purposes only, ranges as high as $7,040,923.81 exclusive of physical property, or $4,-194,988.81 more than was allowed by the appraisers. (See communication October 22.) This figure takes into consideration only the worth of the rights for irrigation, according to current prices and makes no allowance for the greater value for the higher domestic use Considering the feasibility of utilizing Lake Cheesman and the immense quantity of water available from that reservoir for the development of power in conjunction with the use of the water for either irrigation or domestic purposes, the value of the water rights is materially increased. Lake Cheesman alone, independent of the other property and rights of the company, is worth at least $5,000,000. (See communication November 18.) The valuation fixed by the appraisers upon the physical property of the company, reservoirs, filter plants, supply conduits, pumping stations, distributing mains, etc., is $10,354,075. Our communication dated November 26 compared this valuation with the valuation given upon the water plants in 34 large cities in the United States by the latest bulletin of the Census Bureau. The comparison showed the total valuation of the 34 plants to be $432,999,120, and the aggregate mileage of mains 17,774. The average valuation per plant was $12,735,268, and the average mileage of mains 522.76. The average valuation per mile of mains shown was $24,361.38. The Denver system at the time of the appraisement contained 463.58 miles of malns. The valuation fixed by the appraisers upon the physical property is at the rate of $21,960.19 per mile of mains, or $2,462.81 less per mile than the average of the 34 cities. The valuation given by the government statistics did not take into consideration the value of water rights in any of the plants, nor did it consider their selling value. In our communication a complete analysis was made comparing the make-up of the other plants, and the conditions under which they furnish water with the make-up of the Denver plant and the conditions under which water is furnished in this city. The analysis showed that only one plant in the 34 has a storage system that can in any sense be compared with the Denver system. Only eight of the 34 plants supply filtered water now. At the time the Census Bureau report was made four of them had complete filter plants in operation. Every drop of water furnished Denver by the Denver Union Water Company is filtered. The average per capita consumption of water in the 34 cities is 112.32 gallons daily against 220 gallons in Denver. The average of pipe of 12 inches or larger in diameter in the 34 cities was only 19.89 per cent. In the Denver system 361-6 per cent of the entire pipe system is 12 inches or larger in diameter. The analysis showed that the valuation fixed by the appraisers upon the Denver plant, mile for mile of mains, and component for component, was lower than the valuation placed upon any plant in any of the 34 cities. The plant of the Denver Union Water Company was the first large plant in the United States equipped with a complete filtration and purification system, and until the past two or three years it was the only large plant in the country that filtered and treated scientifically every drop of water furnished consumers. The filter plants in every one of the eight large cities above referred to were commenced after the plant of the Denver Union Water Company was fully equipped with filtration and purification appliances. For the population served none of the cities operating filter plants furnishes as much water as the Denver plant. The normal working capacity of the filters of the Denver plant is 81,000,000 gallons daily. No city in the country has as liberal a reserve capacity above the maximum demand for water. The appraisers placed a valuation upon the filter plants of $863,136.00. The actual value of the plants to the people of Denver cannot be computed in dollars and cents, for it deals purely with human life and human usefulness. If Denver were deprived of filtered water for even 24 hours, more harm would be done the health of the people than would be compensated for by the cost of 10 such plants. (See communication December 10.) In the 39 years since the first water company was organized only eight dividends have been paid the stockholders. They aggregate 35 per cent, or less than 1 per cent, a year. During the 15 years since its organization the total revenue of the Denver Union Water Company from consumers, hydrant rentals, ranch produce, etc., aggregates $12,923,751.40. During the 15 years there has gone back into the plant for new construction, purchase and acquisition of water rights, interest, taxes, interest on account of construction, maintenance and operation, etc., a total of $15,352,310.46, or $2,428,559.06 more than it has received from the various sources of revenue. (See communication December 17.) Africa's Brave Son Heard From Hon. James C. Smith of British Sierra Leone. Schooled in the Sociological. Financial and Economic Questions of His Country. Is Shrewd Statesman and Scholar. It was, I believe, Burke who said, "Great men are the guideposts of a nation," and Shakespeare said. "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Both Burke and Shakespeare were right. "Great men are the guideposts of a nation," and "some men are born great." The subject of our sketch is "a guidepost not only of a nation, but of the nations, and he was born great— 3 great in the conception and promulgation of practical and useful ideas; great in the ability to state with clearness and precision his views upon the financial, sociological, economic and industrial questions, to the consideration of which he has devoted years of patient study and application; great as a scholar and thinker who has revolutionized modern accepted theories as to the solution of the problems which he has worked out with mathematical accuracy and which touch humanity the world over at every point. Not many Negroes in the United States are cognizant of the fact that in the British colony of Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa, there resides a colored man who occupies the position of postmaster general of that colony and who is president of the government bank there, which receives and disburses hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling annually. James Carmichael Smith is a many sided man and an intensely busy man. Aside from his official duties he has found time to write in the past few years eight or more valuable books on financial, economic and industrial subjects. Their literary value is attested by the leading Scottish and English newspapers and by journals devoted to the discussion of these questions and the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. nighest authorities on economics in the world as well as by leading financiers and sociologists in Europe, Asia and Africa. There is but little if any doubt as to the accuracy of the writer's knowledge of his subject. Mr. Smith gets right at the kernel of his subject in the following vigorous and drastic sentences: "We must get down to the facts and realize the magnitude of the financial power controllable today by small groups of men, some of them the most villainously unscrupulous specimens of the human race, and these money kings effectively rule the men who nominally govern the nations." This is neatly put and is as incisive as it is true to the facts as they present themselves to every observant man who has watched the trend of affairs in financial circles in the United States. Mr. Smith was born in 1852. From June, 1876, to August, 1889, he was chief clerk and storekeeper of the imperial treasury and commissariat department in the Bahamas; member of the board of education, 1886 to 1902; postmaster, 1889 to 1893; justice of the peace, 1890; member of Bahama house of assembly, 1882, 1889 and 1896; resigned in 1897; assistant postmaster general, Sierra Leone, 1896; justice of the peace, 1897; acting postmaster general, 1897, 1899 and 1900; acting curator of institutes, Sierra Leone, from January, 1899, to January, 1900; postmaster general and manager of government savings bank, 1900; acting collector of customs, October, 1902, to April, 1903; acting colonial treasurer in 1906 and postmaster general in 1909. The race may well feel proud of this able and scholarly representative, who has trodden paths which few if any members of it have thus far ventured to do, either in Europe or America. We greatly suspect that our friend Mr. Smith had said the last word on the subjects covered in his eight or more books and numerous pamphlets which he has written on the money question and kindred questions growing out of it. If John C. Calhoun, who doubted the ability of the Negro to conjugate a Greek verb was in the flesh and read one of Mr. Smith's books he would probably acknowledge the truth of the famous utterance of the polished African Terence: "Homo sum; humani nibil a me affenum puto." Bright Day After Long, Black Night. With Booker T. the greatest and foremost exponent of industrial education in the world, France organizing an army of 200,000 Negro soldiers, Matt Henson standing on the north pole and Jack Johnson the acknowledged champion of the world, it would appear that the "man and brother" was coming into his own. Well, it has been a long, black night, and let us hope the day may be bright.-Dallas (Tex.) Express.

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 resisting 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 between the tire and the road thus overcoming all softer. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for 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.

Who Advocates Negro Independence In Politics-Bethel Church a Credit to His Genius. Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the present pastor of Shiloh Baptist church ("Strangers' home") at Washington, was born at Lynchburg, Va., May 19, 1863, his parents being of Indian, Negro and Scotch-Irish descent. He received his first instruction in a little log cabin schoolhouse in Amherst county, Va. He took the academic course at the Richmond institute (now Virginia Union university), graduating [Pictorial portrait of a man in formal attire, with a serious expression, set against an oval frame with decorative scrollwork]. REV. DR. J. MILTON WALDRON. therefrom in 1882, and in 1886 he graduated with the degree of A. B. from Lincoln university, delivering the philological oration, and finished the full course in the Newton Theological institution of Newton Center, Mass., in 1889. He was made a doctor of sacred theology by Lincoln university in 1904. Dr. Waldron began his career as a minister of the gospel at the age of seventeen and has had a large experience as a missionary, Y. M. C. A. general secretary, editor of religious journals and as a pastor. While at Newton Theological institution he supplied acceptably two white Baptist churches in Maine and represented the institution upon the Intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. board of Boston and vicinity. In the fall of 1890 he became pastor of the Berean Baptist church of Washington, the wealthiest and most refined colored Baptist church of its size in America at that time. During his eighteen months' pastorate of this church he conducted two large revivals which resulted in the conversion of about 300 souls and established the Alley Missionary society, an organization devoted to the work of uplifting the thousands of poor and neglected people living in the alleys and courts back of the beautiful residences which line the broad streets and avenues of the capital of the nation. After Dr. Waldron's marriage to THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD. Miss Martina Neednam Matthews, a prominent public schoolteacher of Washington and sister of Judge James C. Matthews of Albany, N. Y., he moved to Jacksonville, Fla., where he became pastor of the Bethel Baptist church (now the Bethel Baptist Institutional church), the oldest Baptist SAMSUNG church but one in the state. He remained in charge of this church for fifteen years and a half. He built up the Bethel church from 500 members to over 1,200 and added to the church a large institutional work, it being the first colored Institutional church in the entire south, and carried on such a farreaching and practical social betterment, educational and industrial training work among the colored people of Florida that it won the attention and hearty indorsement of the leading white and colored people of the state and of the south. While Dr. Waldron is opposed to the union of church and state, yet he believes that politics in this country will never be clean and effective in conserving the rights of all the people until ministers and other good men become dominating factors in municipal, state and national elections. He is also a strong advocate of independence in voting and believes that the future political salvation of his people depends upon their taking an independent stand in politics rather than upon their firm support of any one political party as a race. Dr. Waldron has been an untiring and enthusiastic advocate of these opinions for twenty years, and while in Florida he always sided with the best men in politics, whether they were Democrats or Republicans. During the last twenty years Dr. Waldron has toured the north, south and middle west three times, preaching and lecturing to leading white and colored churches, schools and Young Men's Christian associations. Rev. Dr. Waldron pastors one of the most active and influential churches of Washington and is the leader in numerous race organizations. In addition to the regular work of his church he devotes much time to the uplift of the poor and neglected classes among his people in Washington and elsewhere and is an active factor in every movement which has for its object the securing to the colored man his full manhood and political rights. Dr. Waldron has given much study and attention to the doctrine of the person and work of the Holy Spirit and to the practical side of the pastor's life, and of late he has been in great demand by churches and theological schools in various parts of the country for sermons and lectures upon these subjects.

First-class Dressmaking and Ladies' Tailoring by Beatrice Lewis of 1219. W. 8th avenue. Take Lawrence car west. Mrs. U. G. Brown was hostess at a dinner party Christmas day, entertaining Mrs. S. Clingman, Miss M. Price, Mrs. K. Turley and niece. Mrs. Brown was remembered by Christmas gifts from all the guests as well as gifts of money from her husband and son. Among the near-holiday events not reported in last week's paper was the twentieth anniversary celebration of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Contee on the 17th, to which about one hundred and fifty persons responded, notwithstanding the severe cold weather. Mr. and Mrs. Contee were remembered with some beautiful chinaware by their friends and were deluged with good wishes for the years to come. Another event was the card party of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bush of 2322 Arapahoe street on the 18th, complimentary to Mrs. K. Talbert, sister of Mrs. John Short, who is visiting in the city. Forty persons responded to the invitation and the progressive features of the evening's enjoyment gave the hostess the opportunity of awarding some handsome gifts as rewards for knowledge of whist, while the winners of the booby prizes felt that they, too, had achieved distinction. In the mention of the entertainment of the All Star Minstrels the interlocutor in the minstrel first part was inadvertently omitted. He was Willie Burns. Mr. Burns was by no means omitted from the show itself, having contributed by his wit and smart appearance no little bit to the success of the show. Mention is now made by way of reparation for the neglect before. Mrs. C. R. McFarland has gone to Chicago, where she will remain. Mr. McFarland will join her soon. The Negro Townsite and Land Company now offices with Dr. Faulkner at 1020 19th street. This is for the convenience of stockholders and officers, as well as the public. HELP WANTED.

Mrs. Finley of 20th and Lafayette streets entertained at 6 o'clock breakfast Christmas morning. Eighteen guests sat down to a wholesome spread full of Christmas reminders amid beautiful holiday decorations. The good spirit that prevailed was heightened by the superb cuisine, and the minds of the guests were exalted to a proper joyousness to suit the day. Miss Mabel Lewis is entertaining her brother, who is visiting in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rice entertained at a theater party Tuesday evening in honor of Misses Smith and Stone of Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City. After the theater the party were served a tasty luncheon by Miss Shirley at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rice. J. B. Moore is in the city for a visit of ten days, after which he will return to Ogden. A delightful Christmas was enjoyed by the guests of Mrs. Clay of Boulder last week. The guests were Mrs. Albert Bosley, Miss Mollie Williams, Miss Julia Winn, Mrs. Luther McKinney. Mrs. Harry Hall, W. Morrison, Mrs. Geo. Reeves, Mrs. Walker King, Geo. Morrison. Mrs. America Turner has gone to Topeka where she had an operation performed this week. She is under charge of her sister there, Mrs. Dr. Taylor. The wonderful rise in some Denver real estate finds beautiful illustration in the sale made of her home at 1921 Curtis street by Dr. Justina Ford. Monday she concluded a deal with Lyons & Johnson, realizing $6,000 net for the one lot and two-story building. Seven years ago this property was bought for $3,000. Ever since the postoffice site has been settled, the doctor has had numerous offers of purchase, this one finally being accepted. The example she offers of profit will be worth remembering, especially as real estate offers safe investment at the same time returning a profit. As a result of this fortunate investment Dr. Ford is receiving congratulations on all sides. C. M. White, principal of the Austin, Texas, high school, has been in the city for several days on business. He has been a caller on the colored places of business. We have "The Struggle," by Lawyer Sidney C. Tapp, in the Quincy building. Mr. Tapp's book shows him to be a scholar and a broad, liberal-minded man. He made a national reputation as a lawyer when he freed Caleb Powers of Kentucky after some of the greatest lawyers of the country had failed. A. J. Raines of Pikeview spent a few days in the city this week. The entertainment of the Masons at East Turner Hall Monday night demonstrated the popularity of this annual holiday event. The hall was filled to suffocation and the cup of pleasure overflowed. This event is conducted on unusually high class lines, the greatest care being taken to permit no practices that will mar the pleasure of any one. The orchestra purveyed music throughout the evening and youthful jollity occupied the throne. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Johnson of Lawrence, Kansas, are here to spend the winter and will be the guests of her sister, Mrs. W. R. Edwards. The Carnation Art club met with Mrs. John Hardy last Friday afternoon. Oliver Burnett of Chicago, who has been visiting his brot. er, J. L. Burnett, left Monday for his home. Peyton Spencer, whose death came a few days ago in Pueblo, was brought to this city for burial, was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon in Riverside cemetery by the Douglas Undertaking company with Centennial Lodge of Masons performing the burial rites of that order. The deceased was injured in a railroad wreck a few years ago and his health declined steadily until the end came peacefully. He leaves a widow to mourn him, and friends and associates in large numbers. His last years had in no wise dimmed the affection in which he was held by those who knew him, and the funeral services at the undertaking parlors bespoke their lasting regard. The Sunshine club met with Mrs. Mollie Barnes of Glenarm Place last Thursday. A great night in the history of Pythianism in this state was December 15, when Pleasant Home Lodge of Colorado Springs initiated six new members and reinstated three, all from the Cripple Creek district. Those initiated were taken in in the fullest and most ample form of the beautiful Pythian ritual, and the ceremony is said to have been the grandest ever given in the West. The Grand Chancellor, Dr. Westbrook of Denver, and the Grand Lecturer, C. A. Pilgrim of Cripple Creek, were present. Those taken into the order were Harry Dean, Oliver Thompson, Geo. Simpson, Fred Hopkins, John Brody, Robert White, Wm. Morris, Robert Wagner, Geo. Cotwell. The Self-Improvement and Social club met with Mrs. Laura Carson, at 2421 Ogden, on Monday, December 27.

EDITOR WHITE INFORMED. Date For Packing Up and Place For Holding World Jubilee Given. According to reports that are now going the rounds of the world, when ex-President Roosevelt gets back to America we Negroes will have to pack up bag and baggage and hurry off back to Africa, our former home. The Messenger would like to know just on what train will the white people start back to Europe, the home of their nativity. We would like to inform Brother White, editor of the Rock Hill (S. C.) Messenger, that it has been definitely decided by the black folks and white folks of the United States that both races will go at the same time and that the journey will be made by steamer and not by train, as it will be a trifle inconvenient to build a railway across the Atlantic, and as we have steamships already in waiting the only important matter to be decided upon is the time. So far as we Negroes and white folks have been able to agree, the date has been set for A. D. 20099, with the privilege of extending the time 5,000 years, or just before the angel Gabriel sounds the last trump. The route decided upon is via Liverpool, where we will all embark and hold a worldwide jubilee for 4,000 years. For the rest of the journey we will be guided by a cloudy pillow by day and fiery emblems by night. We will not need any vehicles of conveyance. N. B. DODSON. Tuskegee's Wonderful Growth. The enrollment at Tuskegee institute THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. this year is 1,559. Almost as many were turned away as could be accepted because of insufficient accommodations. Six thousand men and women have been sent out into the world by Dr. Washington's wonderful school, and he states with pardonable pride that not one of the graduates of Tuskegee has ever been convicted of crime or sent to the penitentiary. Few, if any, can be found in idleness. Practically all are identifying themselves with the best thought and most uplifting activities of the places where they have made their homes. Large Audience Heard Dr. Lyon Speak Dr. Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia, was greeted by a magnificent audience in League hall, New Rochelle, N. Y., on Monday evening, Dec. 20, where he delivered a rousing address and made a splendid impression upon his audience. Dr. Lyon was introduced by Roscoe C. Simmons, president of the Westchester County Negro Republican league. Before the meeting adjourned a strong set of resolutions was adopted urging congress to take favorable action on the report of the commissioners to Liberia. Donation Day at Aged Home a Success. The recent anniversary celebration and donation day entertainment which was held under the auspices of the managers of the Home For Aged and Infirm Afro-American Women at Pittsburg was an encouraging success. The net proceeds amounted to $350. besides liberal supply of groceries and other useful donations. State Federation of Women's Clubs. State Federation of Women's Clubs. The Missouri State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. J. Silone Yates is president, is making considerable progress in its plans for the establishment of an industrial home for girls. At the tenth annual session of the federation, scheduled to meet in St. Louis on Dec. 30, reports on the proposed home are to be made and delegates elected for the biennial session of the national association, which will meet in Louisville, Ky., in 1910. EXPOSITION COMPANY. Organized by Major Wright, Has Support of Georgia Congressmen. The Semicentennial American Emancipation Exposition company has been organized at Savannah, Ga., and will be duly chartered under the laws of the state, with the following officers: President, R. R. Wright, Savannah, Ga.; first vice president, John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va.; second vice president, N. B. Young of Florida; third vice president, J. E. Shephard, Durham, N. C.; fourth vice president, S. N. Brown, Washington; fifth vice president, M. M. Ponton, Mississippi; sixth vice president, R. D. Brooks, Alabama; seventh vice president, S. W.

Morris of Arkansas, Bishop C. S. Smith of Georgia, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York. Senator Depew has introduced a bill providing that the government participate in an Afro-American exposition in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $250,000 for government participation in the semicentennial celebration. A commission is contemplated by the bill to be known as "the centennial emancipation commission" and which is to consist of the secretaries of the treasury, war and navy. The commission is authorized to work in co-operation with the American Emancipation Exposition company of Savannah, Ga., which has taken the initiative in the matter of celebrating the semicentennial of the emancipation proclamation. Senator Depew's bill recites that "great benefits have resulted and astonishing prosperity has been made to the persons emancipated and their descendants as well as to the whole American nation, all of which should be made manifest to the country and the whole world by a suitable exposition." The Georgia delegation has agreed to favor the bill, and the indications are that the measure will be favorably acted upon at this session of congress. PROMOTERS OF Y. M. C. A. Pilgrim Bible Class Prime Factor In Movement at Pittsburg. From the interest manifested at a dinner which was recently given in Lyric hall, Pittsburg, for the purpose of promoting the movement looking toward the organization of a branch of the Young Men's Christian association for Afro-Americans it was clearly demonstrated that such a move has the hearty co-operation of a large number of business and professional men of influence and high standing in the community. Out of a hundred men invited ninety were present. The idea of starting a branch of the Y. M. C. A. had its inception in the thrift and industry of the Pilgrim Bible class, whose members have been agitating for such an organization for several years. Hezekiah Anderson was master of ceremonies. After dinner speeches were made by Messrs. Ralph W. Harbison, president of the Pittsburg Y. M. C. A., and W. A. Hunton, one of the international secretaries, Mr. Harbison said "that the central organization's directors were a unit to assist in making the movement a success with money to the extent of $25,000 or more if needed and with --- WALTER EAST Groceries, Vegetables, FOUR SPECIALTIES FO Groceries, Vegetables, Fruits, Meats, Delicatessen OUR SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMING WEEK.

Mr. Hunton said the Young Men's Christian association had established branches in ninety-one colored schools, with an aggregate membership of 6,000 persons. The first city colored association was started in Norfolk, Va., Jan. 20, 1888. Now there are forty city associations, twenty of which own their own property. He spoke about the great good that was being done for the young men of the race through the agency of the Y. M. C. A., and he urged all present to get behind the promotion of the movement with their influence, money and time and push it to success. Others to make addresses were H. J. Hill, special secretary of the Pittsburg Y. M. C. A., and Attorney Frank R. Steward. Promising Literary Society. The desire among a large number of well known young Afro-Americans of Pittsburg to maintain literary organizations as a means of intellectual uplift in the community is encouraging. Perhaps the most aggressive society at present is the Outlook Literary society, which was recently organized. It meets regularly on Friday evenings and shows evidence of becoming a potent factor in the intellectual life of the city among our people. Unique Blue Ribbon Banquet. The ladies of the various fountains in the Pittsburg division of the grand fountain of the United Order of True Reformers in an endeavor to show the male members of the order just how to give an entertainment recently held a blue ribbon musicale and banquet at True Reformers' hall, which was pronounced by patrons to be the most unique affair of its kind ever given by the order in Pittsburg. Do White Men Assault White Girls? The Forum, Springfield, Ill., in its issue of Dec. 18 says: Last Saturday night a white man assaulted a white girl who works in the editorial department of the Daily Review on her way home.

MADE FRIENDS WITH MOUSE Patient Nature Lover Acquired Confidence of Small Denizen of the Wilda I was waiting at the drumming log of the ruffed grouse for the bird to come and perform before me. 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 under me. It was interesting to see how freely he moved from place to place, appearing 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 appearance, 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 advances, however, I was able to touch the little fellow with the tips of my extended fingers, and five minutes later I was stroking his back as you might stroke a kitten's.—St. Nicholas. MEANT IT AS COMPLIMENT MEANT IT AS COMPLIMENT Remark of Colored Porter That Showed Him to Be True Student of Human Nature. A southerner, noted for the liberality of his tips, stopped at a Baltimore hotel where colored porters predominated. His name was speedily known to every member of the serving fraternity, and his every wish anticipated. 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—retiring, not given to "tipping," or any other form of sociability, and who therefore 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 name 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 I 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 winter?" "Scuse me, colonel, sah," began the old man, deferentially, "but you must know, sah"—as if uttering the subtlest compliment—"dat dere's gemmans 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 animal act, and the participants were a lion and a kangaroo. Something had evidently put the lion in a bad temper. He growled savagely at the end of the performance in the animals' cage, but the keeper was cool and determined. As he sought to turn the angry beast into its own cage, opening from that in which the performance was given, the lion, evading the keeper 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.

"Explorers hate to take back or amend anything they have written," said F. S. Dallenbaugh of the American 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 never been condemned, let alone hanged.' "Well, my friend,' said the other, "it's our policy never to issue direct contradictions. They shake the confidence of the reader. But I'll tell you what we'll do for you.

A peculiar accident happened in a church at Ilford, Eng., one Sunday recently, 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, inflicting 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 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, no matter for what cause; and Lady Millais suffered with the rest. Her husband was tormented by this exclusion, which seemed to him unjust. In his last days, as he lay dying, the princess of Wales—now Queen Alexandra—drove to his house to ask him about his health. He begged that he might see her, and she was escorted to his studio, where he lay upon a couch unable to get up. The princess spoke to him with great cordiality, and finally, when she rose to go, 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 is 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. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. S. M.

I was waiting at the drumming log of the ruffed grouse for the bird to come and perform before me. 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 name 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 I 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 from that in which the performance was given, the lion, evading tne 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.
