FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society A FLOWER ON THE ALTAR OF MEMORY TWENTY-FIRST YEAR A FLOW THE A OF REMINISCENCES. By Bruce Grit. In March, 1892, Mr. Frederick Douglas delivered a lecture in Cooper Union, New York, in which he very successfully defended his attitude as Minister Resident and Consul General of the United States at Port Au Prince in relation to the Mole St. Nicholas incident. Mr. Douglas was introduced by Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, who, among other things, said: that he had just returned from Virginia, where he visited Hampton Institute. He saw, he said, a great many colored girls and boys in the course of preparation for good citizens. He dwelt upon the fact that the Negroes do not gravitate towards anarchy, socialism or communism, and paid Mr. Douglas a nice compliment by saying that it was he (Douglas) who had first suggested to President Lincoln the Emanicpation Proclamation. He said education would solve the problem, but that education without manhood and citizenship rights was valueless. After Mr. Douglas had spoken, with his usual vigor and force and eloquence, Robert G. Ingersoll, the great agnostic, was introduced and made the speech of the night. With one hand on his pocket, and the other aloft, he said: "Frederick Douglas is one of the greatest men who speaks the English language. Few white men have ever emancipated themselves under the condition he was placed. I think, said he, turning toward Mr. Depew and looking him squarely in the eye, "you can solve the race problem by civilizing the white men of this country; the black men are civilized. They are a great, good people and they have that divine thing called patience. They also have that uncommon thing called forgiveness. They remained at home and defended and protected the wives and babies of the Southern men, when they had gone to fight that their wives and babies might be sold like cattle. Had they used the knife they would have been justified. They did better than I would have done. History records no instance where they betrayed their trust. I do not think," said the Colonel with a merry twinkle in his large blue eyes, "that I occupy sufficient moral height to advise such people. * * * The white men who are most proud of their race are those of whom the race has least to be proud. No man can be the equal of the man he robs. The robber can never be the equal of him stolen from." Concerning the Mole St. Nicholas DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909 negotiation he said, turning towards Frederick Douglas: "The honest men of this country did not want you to drive a hard bargain with Hayti. They did not want Hayti robbed! and when they want her robbed they will have to get some other man than Frederick Douglas to do it." This sentence evoked thunders of applause. Continuing, he said: "We, whenever we meet a Scotchman, always give him a little added respect on account of Bobby Burns; when we meet an Englishman we give him a little added respect on account of Shakespeare; when we meet a colored man we give him a little added respect on account of Frederick Douglass. I want Hayti to live. I want the United States to see to it that she does live. If I had my way no representative of the Czar should take precedence of the Minister from Hayti, at the State Department. I would tell him or the Ambassador of the crazy Emperor to stand aside for the Minister of Hayti. You fellows represent an individual, he represents 'folks.'" In closing, the Colonel told his hearers to "think awhile before they embraced the white man's religion, as it is a delusion and a snare." The Colonel was quite right, the white man's religion is not for the black man, because it is not the religion which the lowly Nazarene taught and practiced when upon earth. It is a religion of caste and prescription of creeds and dogmas out of harmony and sympathy with that which is finally to save all races and colors of men. 500 MEN WANTED The Y. M. C. B. held one of its most enthusiastic and beneficial meetings during its history Sunday afternoon at Campbell Chapel. The occasion was its first revival service conducted by the Rev. Dr. Pius. The meeting was for men only and the Doctor presentd many plain facts. One convert and one reclaimer came into the work for Christ. Dr. Pius will address the men again next Sunday at 3:00 o'clock at Campbell, 23rd and Lawrence. This meeting will be for men only, and the leader wants five hundred men and boys to be in attendance. Those who are christians should deem it their duty to attend and bring their sinner friends. Dress making and plain sewing done by Mrs. R. W. Kelly at her residence, 929 W. Seventh avenue.

CITY OF SPOKANE Spokane, Was h., Dec. 29, 1909. Lieut. Col. W. R. Abercrombie, Fort George Wright. Dear Sir-I beg to inform you that at the meeting of the City Council held December 28th, 1909, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "WHEREAS, The City of Spokane recently suffered the experience of a determined and premeditated assault upon her laws by the organized forces of the I. W. W., in which the said I. W. W. attempted to subvert and overthrow the laws and ordinances of the said City of Spokane, and in the suppression of which disorder and lawbreaking it was necessary that great numbers of the disorderly persons be arrested and confined under sentence of court, to an extent and number that completely overtaxed the capacity of the jail and other places of detention of said city; and. "WHEREAS, The authorities of the Federal Garrison, Fort George Wright, anjoining this city, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 25th U. S. Infantry, under command of Lieut. Col. W. R. Abercrombie of the 25th Infantry, courteously granted to the city, upon the request of Mayor Pratt to the War Department, the privilege of confining so many of such disorderly persons as might be necessary in the places of detention in said Fort George Wright, where such persons were kept under the custody and control of the Police Officers of the City of Spokane; and, "WHEREAS, The Federal Troops stationed at said garrison, by their soldierly bearing and correct deportment, their sympathy and moral support in the maintenance of good order, and by their constant example of orderly, law-abiding, sober and gentlemanly conduct at all times, greatly contributed to the aid of our Police Officers in handling a most serious situation, involving in large degree the great principle of law enforcement; and. "WHEREAS, We desire to express our appreciation to the officers and soldiers of the Federal Garrison, Fort George Wright; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That the City Council do hereby tender to the enlisted men and officers of the 20th U. S. Infantry, for their services and their support, the thanks of the City of Spokane." Yours truly, C.A.FLEMING. FIVE CENTS A COPY O SOL- RAISED POKANE Official: City Clerk. Official: City Clerk.

New Lease of Life For Zion Church Interest on Mortgage Debt of Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church of Baltimore. Which Was $600 In Arrears. Quickly Paid Under the Leadership of the Rev. J. A. S. Cole. Notwithstanding the fact that our people in Baltimore are noted for their thrift and industry in business, educational and social affairs, their zeal for progress in religious affairs is, however, none the less ardent. Some of the most influential churches of the race are to be found in Baltimore. Many of them are free of debt, and on the average all are pastored by able ministers, who are laboring earnestly for the moral and spiritual uplift of their respective congregations. Among the clergymen who have achieved more than ordinary success within a short time and whose influence for good has attracted the attention of other churches in and out of the city is the Rev. J. A. S. Cole, pastor of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion church. Mr. Cole is a native of Maryland. He came to Baltimore at an early age. He received his education in the public schools of Baltimore, which he supplemented with a course in theology at Boston university. He accepted the pastorate of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion church about eighteen months ago, during which time he has made a most enviable record both as a pastor and financial leader. When he began his pastorate the interest on the mortgage debt of the church was more than $600 in arrears. To the majority of pastors who are familiar with church debts and the difficulty of raising money with which to pay them the situation which confronted the new pastor would seem anything but encouraging. But with true courage and undaunted faith the Rev. Mr. Cole began to devise plans for raising the money necessary to pay off the debt. How well he has succeeded may best be shown from the fact that the full amount of interest has been paid, current expenses met and the membership increased. The pastor's zeal for the success of the church was made strikingly plain to the members when they found that he was willing if necessary to have his salary reduced until the church was out of debt. Before his present charge the Rev. Mr. Cole pastored churches in North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania and at Troy, N. Y. At the latter church he raised $4,500 and left the church clear of debt. He made many friends while in Troy, and when it became known that he was to leave Troy to pastor elsewhere strenuous efforts were made by his church and by influential citizens in the community to nave him remain. The record which the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion church has made since the Rev. Mr. Cole became its pastor shows conclusively what can be done when both pastor and congregation are unitedly working for the spiritual and temporal welfare of the church. It is sometimes thought by many of our people that too much attention is given to the spiritual side of racial uplift, but experience shows that along with the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. [Name] church has always furnished the men and women who have won special distinction in nearly every instance where the interest of the masses of our people required individual leadership in any given cause. The principles of Christianity have been and ever should be the precursor of reforms, the defender of justice, the strong arm of the home, the basis of social intercourse and the all important essential to true success in a life of usefulness. Garrison Post Installs New Officers. A large number of representatives from the various Grand Army posts of both races witnessed the recent annual installation of the officers of William Lloyd Garrison post, No. 207, G. A. R., at Grenada hall, Brooklyn. The ceremonies were performed by Past Commander John Thomas and staff of Rankin post. The first Grand Army post among Afro-Americans in Brooklyn was organized by the late Dr. William T. Dixon over thirty-seven years ago. TUSKEGEE IN NEW YORK. Public Given Birdseye View of Our Greatest Industrial School. It has long been one of the problems of the Tuskegee institute in its effort to interest the public in its work to find some method of showing people a thousand miles away just what the school is actually doing and what industrial education, as Booker T. Washington conceives it, means. This year a new method of solving this problem has been adopted. At the public meeting which was held on Jan. 24 at Carnegie hall, New York, under the auspices of the Armstrong association, the work of the school home at Tuskegee was actually brought to New York by showing it in the form of moving pictures. By this means it was possible to show students at work in the fields, planting, plowing, milking, working in the dairy and building roads, as well as showing the whole body of 1,600 students in motion, marching to chapel, all in life size moving pictures. The plan to put Tuskegee into a moving picture show did not originate at Tuskegee, however, but in Boston. A group of Negro business men in that city recently organized a company to present moving pictures to audiences of our people throughout the country THE OLD RELIABLE Thomas Clingman Billiard and Pool Parlors 1855 Arapahoe St. If You Want to Buy a Home SEE JACOBS THE REAL ESTATE MAN He has from 15 to 20 houses for sale in all parts of the city. Small payment down, bal. same as rent be a good thing as well as a paying investment to produce some pictures that would show Negroes what Negroes are doing. One of these scenes pictures the cotton industry. Another series shows the fighting Tenth cavalry at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. It has been the plan of the company to send its pictures about the country and show them in our churches. They have thus far performed an important educational work among the masses of the race, because the pictures of what Tuskegee is actually doing are the best argument that can be made in its favor, and it is important to the success of the work that Dr. Washington is trying to do that all the Negroes as well as all the white people should understand and appreciate the large and novel educational experiment he has undertaken for the masses of the race. NEW KIND OF HOSPITAL. Negrophobia Affects Its Victims Worse Than Hookworm Disease. If Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller or J. P. Morgan would contribute a neat sum for a hospital for the cure of those affected by negrophobia it would go a great way in helping certain sections of the country, says the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore. It is infinitely worse than the hookworm and affects its victims to such an alarming extent that they cannot see straight, and they are always imagining awful calamities befalling the country, especially that part inhabited by colored folks. It has such an awful effect upon its victims that they actually think they are living fifty years back in the days before the war. They will not even believe the Bible, the disease affects them so badly. A hospital for the cure of this disease would be money well spent. Institution Worthy of Liberal Aid. More and more we are beginning to see the necessity for a more liberal support on the part of our people of the institutions conducted by and in the special interest of our young people. The White Rose Industrial association of New York is an example of the kind of material aid most needed for those seeking to better their condition along industrial lines. Last year the association sheltered 216 girls, gave free meals to 769 and secured positions for 245.

WATER QUESTION The earnings represent a gross income upon the appraised valuation of the property of only 7 41/100 per cent., or 3 51/100 per cent. less upon the valuation than the average income of the thirty-three municipal plants. Or—more plainly speaking the property devoted to public water supplies in all of the largest cities in the country that owned their own water systems when the report was made produced an income upon the valuation of that property 47 37/100 per cent. greater per annum than the income upon the valuation of the property of The Denver Union Water Company. Statistics of Water Plants Compiled from U.S. Census and Comparison Made with Denver. This Table is Worth Keeping for Future Reference Or—Still more plainly speaking, the people in those thirty-three cities are required to pay nearly half again as much to the support and operation of each dollar in value represented by the water plants in those cities as the people of Denver are required to pay. This same report of the Bureau of Census discussed in our letter of November 26, 1909, shows that the average valuation per mile of mains in the cities covered by the report was $24,361.38. The valuation of the plant of The Denver Union Water Company as shown by the report of the board of appraisers was $21,960.19 per mile of main, or $2,401.19 less per mile of mains than the valuation of the plants in the other cities. Note Well that When Revenues are Insufficient Private Owners Must Put up Their Own Money to Meet the Deficit, While under Municipal Ownership the Added Burden Falls on the Tax-Payer We showed in that letter that there was no more extensive or completely equipped water plant in the United States than the plant of The Denver Union Water Company. We showed not only that the average valuation of water plants in the United States per mile of mains was higher than the valuation fixed upon the Denver plant by the board of appraisers, but also by comparison with the equipment and facilities of the plants of lower value that the valuation per mile of mains in Denver was less for the same equipment and facilities than the valuation given by the Census Bureau upon any of the plants. THE EARNINGS OF WATER PLANTS. TO THE CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS OF DENVER: The following table, compiled from the latest bulletin of municipal statistics issued by the United States Bureau of Census, furnishes valuable information concerning the extent, equipment, valuation and earnings of municipally owned water plants in all of the cities in the country having a population of 100,000 or more in 1906. We call attention to these facts again to forestall the claim that the low income of The Denver Union Water Company as shown by the percentages is due to a high valuation. Careful consideration of the fact that the prices of materials entering into the construction of water plants are standard over the country will show that the law of averages as regards cost and valuation can be applied more accurately to a water system than perhaps any other class of business. Therefore the comparison shows that the valuation of the Denver plant is not excessive. The statistics show that the annual earnings of the water plants in all the large cities of the country represent an income upon the property devoted to public water supply nearly fifty per cent. greater than the income of The Denver Union Water Company upon its property for the same use. The foregoing table shows that the average consumption of water in the thirty-four cities is 112.32 gallons daily per capita. The consumption in Denver for more than ten years has averaged 220 gallons per capita, nearly twice as much as the other cities The pipe system of The Denver Union Water Company contains 36 1/6 per cent. of pipe of 12 inches or larger/diameter, nearly twice as much as the other cities. The table shows that for each inhabitant of the other cities the pipe systems contain 6 63/100 feet of pipe. The system of The Denver Union Water Company contains for each inhabitant of Denver 12 24/100 feet of pipe, nearly twice as much as the other cities. The table shows that only eight of the thirty-four water plants in the other cities furnish filtered water now. At the time the report was made only four of those cities had completed filter plants in operation. The table shows that none of the cities obtain their water supplies as far from the point of delivery as The Denver Union Water Company obtains its supply. None of the cities except New York owns on artificial storage system that can in any sense be compared with the storage system of The Denver Union Water Company. In our letter of November 26, 1909, we showed that taking into consideration the demand for water in the various cities and the extent of the systems that the Denver plant is obliged to pump more water than most of the cities. That it must first bear the heavy expense of bringing water a long distance, then add to the gravity cost the expense of pumping a large portion of the supply. Thus the expense of distributing much of the water is doubled because of the hilly location of the city. Yet the plants in the other cities, less expensive, less complete and less expensive to operate, produce an income nearly fifty per cent. per annum greater upon the valuation of those properties than is produced by the Denver plant. On the basis of the income produced by the other plants, the conditions surrounding the furnishing of water in Denver would justify an income to The Denver Union Water Company upon its property fifty per cent. higher than the average of the other cities, instead of fifty per cent. lower. These facts show conclusively why The Denver Union Water Company and the other companies that have operated in Denver have been obliged to put into the water plant many millions of dollars more than the total earnings of the property have produced in order that the city might have the extensions and betterments required by its growth and the demand for water. The foregoing table shows nominally that three of the thirty-three cities derive a lower percentage income on the value of their properties than The Denver Union Water Company. As a matter of fact, neither of the three plants is entirely dependent upon the revenue derived from the plant for the support of the property and the actual expenditures are far above the revenue shown. Philadelphia, Pa., which shows an income of 2/100 of one per cent. less than the Denver plant, and Allegheny, Pa., which shows an income of 35/100 of one per cent. less, turn the revenues of the water department into the general fund, and the expenses of the department in excess of the revenues are met by appropriations out of the moneys produced by general taxes. This condition applies to practically every municipal water plant in the country. When the direct revenues are insufficient the general funds are always at the command of the water department to make good any deficit. A private water plant has no such means of swelling its income and must live on the direct revenue, whether sufficient or insufficient. No citizen in any city owning its own water plant can tell what his actual payments for service amount to from year to year because of the ease with which expenses are transferred from one fund to another. The general table covers thirty-four cities and the report of earnings only thirty-three. They are the same cities with which we compared the valuation of water plants, mile for mile of mains and component for component in our letter of November 26, 1909, except that there is no report of the earnings of the newly constructed New Orleans plant, which was not then supplying water. The plant in Washington, D. C., which shows the lowest percentage income in the list, devotes the revenues of the department solely to the operation of the distributing system and the collection of water rents. The War Department, independent of the city, operates the storage and filtration systems, and the expenses of these branches of the service are met by direct appropriations from the United States Treasury. If the Washington PAGE.12 computation was based on total outlay instead of only the revenue from the sale of water, the percentages would be higher than the average, if not one of the highest in the country. Our next letter will show the revenue derived by the various plants in the United States per million gallons of water furnished consumers. THE DENVER UNION WATER COMPANY. LA JUNTA, COLO. Mrs. W. J.

The marriage a few days ago of Thomas Harris, an Afro-American, to Miss Grace Griffin (white), daughter of the matron of the Missionary Training school at Cincinnati, is causing much comment. The ceremony which made Miss Griffin Mrs. Thomas Harris was performed by the Rev. Ewald Haun of St. Peter's German P. E. church. Mr. Harris is the janitor of the Missionary Training school and is well known in Afro-American circles. Now, who will say that the two races cannot get along on friendly terms? New Yorkers to Dine Explorer Henson. The friends of Matthew Henson, the Afro-American explorer who accompanied Peary on his dash to the north pole, are arranging to give him a dinner on his arrival in New York. Henson's story of the finding of the pole is said to be more authentic than either of the stories of the rival discoverers of the icy bone of contention. Henson appears also to have discovered a volcano, to which neither Cook nor Peary have so far made any allusion.

It is said that Jack Nail of Nail Bros., saloon proprietors and political organizers, who recently sold his place of business at 461 Sixth avenue, New York, for the handsome sum of $155,-500, is perhaps the wealthiest Afro-American in New York. Mr. Nail, whose fortune is estimated to be about $300,000, has retired from business. Twenty-seven years ago two youths, Jack and Eddie Nail, were employed as attendants in a sporting establishment in Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, then much patronized by senators, representatives and others in authority. The two boys saved a little money, staked it on a turn of the wheel and won. They started a restaurant business in Washington, but after several months decided to try their luck in New York. They sold out, came to New York and purchased a saloon at 450 Sixth avenue. They prospered from the first because it became known their motto was "Nothing crooked." After a career of fourteen years at the above number the Nails moved to a more commodious establishment at 461 Sixth avenue. Dick Croker was a frequent visitor in this place. Men prominent in the sporting world who visited it included Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans and Joe Walcott, pugilists, and Isaac Murphy and Frank Craig, jockeys.

True Friendship Richly Rewarded. Next of Kin and Nurse Routed. Afro-Americans throughout the country will no doubt be interested in the recent decision of Surrogate Thomas of New York, in which he holds that James Edward Johnson, an Afro-American, is the legal heir under the last will of Bridget Torpey, the superannuated Irish cook, who bequeathed her fortune of $30,000 to him. The decision comes after a bitterly contested fight, in which the next of kin, two brothers and a sister, resisted the probate of the will, and Margaret M. Bennett, a trained nurse of 46 West Twenty-fifth street, New York, who introduced a will purporting to have been executed several months later than the document which left the estate to Johnson. Surrogate Thomas now throws out the will presented by Miss Bennett, which left the bulk of the estate to her, and decides that Johnson, who, according to the decision, was Bridget's "best and last friend," is the proper person to have the estate. 2.15m - 3.14 Bridget Torpey came to the United States when she was eleven years old, and for over twenty-five years she worked in the kitchen of Mrs. N. B. Taft's boarding house, at 46 West Twenty-fifth street. During this time she accumulated $30,000, of which amount $16,500 was in cash in banks. In his decision the surrogate comments on Bridget's cleverness in amassing the considerable fortune which she left. He repeats the testimony, showing that after she left Mrs. Taft's Bridget went to live with Miss Bennett in One Hundred and Second street shortly before Jan. 1, 1908. She remained there until she removed to an apartment hired by Johnson in Eighteenth street, because, it is stated, she was unhappy in her previous abode. "There was unquestionably an understanding between her and Johnson that if he would care for her during her lifetime he should inherit the estate," says the surrogate. "I do not think it surprising that the decedent chose to reside with Johnson. She had worked with Johnson and other Negroes for a quarter of a century and was accustomed to them. She only went to live with Johnson after she had diligently sought a place elsewhere." In the Bennett home, according to the decision, Bridget was constantly importuned for money and her trunk ransacked. This, says the surrogate, had a tendency to destroy her confidence in the household. "Her characterization that it was a 'hell on earth' is not to be wondered at." says Surrogate Thomas. The testimony showed that Bridget next moved to a Mrs. Kelley's, where son threatened her that if money was not forthcoming and that immediately the old woman would be thrown downstairs. Then it was that Bridget arranged with her friend Johnson, with whom she had worked THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD for some years, to engage a flat, and it could only be had by him where Negroes were accustomed to live. "Apart from the fact that Johnson and her neighbors were black," says Surrogate Thomas, "the arrangement gave the old lady comfort. There she cooked her meals as she liked them and was happy and contented and treated with great respect and kindness. The only offense against propriety with which Johnson is charged in his relations with her is that he was not white." World Power For the Reign of Peace. Freemasonry is indeed a world power in the best and truest sense of that term, says Ira A. Chase, for its influence and power for good among men are worldwide. From the rising to the setting sun, on every continent, on the islands of the sea, Freemasons frequently are assembled, in grand lodge or in particular lodge or by twos and threes, for the propagation of Masonic tenets and truths and the dissemination of the excellent principles inculcated by the order which mark the reign of peace on earth and good will among men. The Moses Honor Memory of Founder. The most noteworthy event in secret society circles in Brooklyn recently was the grand celebration of Founder's day, under the auspices of the various tabernacles of the Sons and Daughters of Moses. The principal speakers were the Rev. Dr. Holland Powell and Mr. James C. Tappen. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mme. Lucy Mayhew. The order was founded many years ago by Peter Paul Brown. It has a large membership in many sections of the United States. Victory For Both Jersey City Teams. The junior basketball team of the Carlton avenue branch Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. played an interesting game with the Jersey City (N. J.) Athletic club juniors at Phoenix hall, Jersey City, recently, which resulted in a victory for the latter team. The game between the Montclair (N. J.) Y. M. C. A. seniors and the Jersey City Athletic club seniors, played on the same occasion, also resulted in a victory for the Jersey City team. Act Upon New Year Resolutions Now. The sympathy of the whole race is with the president, faculty and students of Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga., on account of the heavy loss by fire which that institution recently sustained. Now is the time to put New Year resolutions into action by giving financial aid for the rebuilding of the famous Morris Brown college for Negro youth. The business directory compiled by Professor R.

Because of Shorter church, Zion Baptist church and Bethlehem Baptist the spiritual temperature of Denver has gone upwards so several degrees. Already the effect of the meetings have been felt and the places so often frequented by the loungers and followers of pleasure only have shown the effect by the absence of the familiar faces. Converts are very numerous, back sliders have shown eager interest in coming again and taking up the cross and following the Lowly Nazarene, while yet there are many sin-sick men and women who display an anxious disposition to live better lives. They complain they are sick in the heart with sin and are eager to try Jesus as the Doctor. Zion Baptist church is holding powerfully strong meetings while the many new converts added to Shorter last Sunday night speaks for itself. Bethlehem began her metings last Sunday and the spiritual fire is being felt. DOUGLASS-BROWN-LINCOLN MEMORIAL. While the Negroes all over this country are being scourged, discouraged and indirectly and directly mistreated, yet the People's Sunday Alliance has seen its duty to call the Negro folk of Denver together and celebrate and honor the lives and memories of the men who fought, died and bled for the Negroes' cause. It is the duty of every Negro, be he little, great, young, old or middle-aged to make himself a committee of one to hear the lives of these men eloquently protrayed. We have freedom now but not liberty and no Negro who has not interest enough to come out ought to enjoy our second emancipation, that is, the enjoying of our equal rights, privileges, opportunities and liberty. Mr. George W. Gross of Rocky Ford will speak on 'John Brown' and Rev. J. N. Wallace, pastor of Scott M. E. church, will speak upon "Douglass" and Attorney W. B. Townsend of the 'aw firm of Ross & Townsend will speak upon "Abraham Lincoln" at Shorter A. M. E. church, on Douglass' birthday, Feb. 14th, 1910. Musical numbers will intersperse the program. Rev. D.

MILTON WARD Mrs. Neal Carper died in Omaha last week. REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON FINANCE. The Special Finance committee working under the board of directors of the People's Sunday Alliance for prosecuting the civil rights suites now pending in the courts, wish to make the following report: First, we wish to report the individual contributors to this fund as follows: C. W. Buford, $5.00; Attorney Geo. G. Ross, $1.75; W. A. Jones, $1.75; Wm. Ed. Fountain, $1.00; A. J. Bradford, $1.00; I. H. Harper, $1.00; Wm. Obrian, $1.00; F. T. Bruce, $1.00; C. H. Clark, $1.00; A. G. Fallings, $1.00; L. H. Walton, $1.00; C. M. Hughes, $1.00; Amanda King, $1.00; J. J. Manuel, $0.25, and W. S. Evans, $0.50; and $0.70, in small contributions. Of this money collected to date Mr. Buford not only was the most liberal contributor himself, but solicited eight dollars ($8.00) of the other contributions. W. A. Jones solicited three dollars and seventy-five cents ($3.75), Raymond Clark and J. B. Wimberly, gave in open meeting at the Allitwo dollars ($2.00), and the balance ance's meetings. The statement of the receipts and expenditures of the committee is as follows: THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Cash balance in treasurer.....$ 2.70 (Signed) W. A. JONES, M. D., Treasurer In connection with this financial statement the committee wish to announce that plans are under consideration for the calling of a public meeting to lay the facts of the case fully before the people. We are informed by the attorneys who have the case in charge, Attorneys Ross & Townsend, that about three hundred dollars ($300.00) will be needed to carry the two pending suits through the Supreme court and get a decision on them. We, the Negroes, are the ones who are immediately concerned in this matter and if we have men who are willing to give their professional services for a very scant consideration we should see that no lack of means are wanting for court fees. In fact we should do more. The committee are of the opinion that means will be forthcoming as soon as the people are made fully acquainted with cases and their importance is made clear. On account of the special meetings that are now in progress in our churches, no effort at setting a definite time will be attempted now but announcements will be made as soon as it is opportune. When the call is made we expect YOU to be present with your friends and your mite. HOWARD TROUTMAN FOR SALE—Twenty furnished rooms at 2126 Arapahoe street. Excellent rooming house.

Among the many talented young women of Norfolk, Va., who have won distinction along musical lines is Miss Maude Fitchette, who at an early age showed great fondness for the piano. She studied under some of the best teachers of Norfolk. Her advancement was so rapid that at the age of twelve she was offered the position of organist of the Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk. Miss Fitchette is a graduate of the Norfolk Mission college and is very popular in musical, social and educational circles. Her mastery of classical music has attracted the attention of many persons in search of a capable teacher of piano and organ music and voice culture. She is the possessor of a splendid mezzo soprano [Picture of a young man with a hat and a shirt. He is looking directly at the camera.] MISS MAUDE FITCHETTE. voice of wide range, which has been heard by many cultured audiences in and out of Norfolk. Miss Fitchette's work as an accompanist and soloist has been indorsed by some of the leading professional musicians and teachers of tidewater, Virginia. She discourages the study and use of ragtime songs and urges her pupils to stick to the classics. Miss Fitchette has had considerable experience as an organist. She has been organist at different times for many of the churches in Norfolk and vicinity and is officiating at the present time as organist of the famous Bank Street Baptist church, which is noted for the culture and thriftiness of its general membership. The choir of this church is made up of specially trained vocalists. Its rendition of "Saul" during the recent holidays received high praise from critics and the public generally. The choir rehearsed under Miss Fitchette's direction. To Mrs. Sarah S. Collins and the late Mrs. Carrie Gibson O'Kelly Miss Fitchette attributes much for the success which she has had as a teacher and singer. Women's Clubs to Meet In Brooklyn.

Y. is president, and Miss Eliza Colley of Boston is the general secretary MAN OF MERIT ON THE JOB. Afro-American Writer For Influential Southern Paper Well Qualified. Professor I. W. Jenkins, editor for the colored department of the Florida Times-Union, Jacksouville, the leading daily of the state, is one of the ablest young journalists of the race. His exceptional journalistic ability won for him college honors at Howard university, where he was one of the editors on the college paper. Possessing the stamina that characterizes all men that achieve success in this profession, during the year 1901 this young pencil pusher actually entered the arena and established the Wilkesbarre Advocate at Wilkesbarre, Pa. He also rendered exceptional service to the Christian Banner, at Philadelphia. His native ability brought him recognition from a higher source, and he accepted the position of special correspondent for the Evening Bulletin of Philadelphia. His peculiar way of getting stories that left the correspondents of the other competing dailies of the city in a quandary made him a potent factor in the news gathering line. While Professor Jenkins was on the Bulletin, Havana, Cuba, was offering inducements for a well rounded newspaper man of his caliber. Professor Jenkins accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Havana Post. His fertile brain helped to make this daily a power in the Antilles. He never missed the opportunity to bring before the public in an unbiased manner the Cuban Negro, the backbone of the republic. His contributions are strictly professional matter. He has a style which makes him original and which is conclusive and convincing. His work upon the Times-Union is not excelled by [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing forward.] PROFESSOR ISAAC W. JENKINS. those doing similar work upon the leading dailies of the country. He is recognized as one of the best journalists of the race in Florida.

L. L. ROBERTS. S. R. 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing is possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS A. M. POPE.

Assessor Bartels is peevish these days. He is unwilling to be told of his own. Poor people all over town to whom the extra $5 or $10 assessmentmeans much are making his life a burden. On top of this the long suffering Negro has rebelled against his cold deal. Here is just the opportunity which comes to us at times. Louis F. Bartels has made his office of assesor work a hardship on others besides Negroes. They are protesting and we are protesting. The republican party will not burden itself down with a dead one. The opportunity that has come to us is to convince the party that he is a dead one. We are republicans and deserve better than Bartels has given us. He poses as a republican, but is not, neither is he the only man whom the party can present for the office of assessor. He should be shelved. It is up to us to do our part toward getting rid of his class of ingrate. In an article buried in the inside, hardly two inches long, the daily press recorded the release of Williams, the Negro who was accused of murdering Mrs. Rupp. A few weeks ago in red headlines and page after page, it exploded his alleged guilt and freely predicted lynching. Justice must be dead and conscience has lost its power for such monstrous exaggeration and perversion of the truth to be thus forced on the reading public to the loss of any man's reputation. The Negro race is cursed with the most malignant fate that ever met any race struggling up, in that it must bear such misrepresentation. Were the courts the home of justice open alike to poor and rich, Williams could recover damage from the papers who have thus held him up to the scorn of the community. Failing in that, he would have many examples approved by the community where men assailed with all the diabolical ingenuity whereby a black hearted publisher libels, but evades legal responsibility for it, have taken the law into their own hands. It is a shame. The white race has an immeasurable start over us and needs no such unfair methods to make the better showing. Miss Marguerite Graves, wro for several weeks has been the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. S.
