TRANKLIN'S PAPER THL STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTY-FIRST YEAR NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Tenth Annual Meeting to Be Held In New York In August. The executive committee of the National Negro Business league has called the tenth annual meeting of the league for Aug. 17, 18 and 19, in New York city. At the last annual meeting of the league in Louisville, Ky., a committee was appointed to promote plans for a national Negro exposition in 1913 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves. At the meeting of the executive committee at Carnegie hall, New York, the last week in January, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league, reported as to the progress that has been made in interesting congress, President Taft and the general public, particularly in the southern states, in the project. He stated that it was practically certain that a celebration of some kind would take place. The question was what form it should take and how far the southern states should take part in the celebration. Part of the work undertaken by the League is that of gathering facts and statistics showing Negro progress in different parts of the country. To further this it was decided to establish at Tuskegee a bureau for the purpose of collecting and preserving these facts, where they may be available to the public, and also to establish a news service which will secure their distribution through the press to the masses of our people in order to stimulate and encourage them in their efforts for economic betterment. PROTECTION FOR WOMEN. National League Warns Them Against Dangers In City Life. At a recent meeting of the National League For the Protection of Afro-American Women held in the Women's Trade Union league building in New York a circular letter of advice to young women coming from the south to New York in search of employment was issued. The letter warns such persons against dishonest employment agents and tells of the many dangers and temptations to be found in large cities and concludes by advising all Afro-American young women coming to New York to have the address of the place where they expect to work or reside while in search of work plainly written on a card so as to be conveniently shown to street car conductors or other responsible persons for direction in case they are not met by the party engaging them. Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., is chairman of the league, and Mrs. S. W. Layton is the general secretary. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1910 Let's Think First! A Plea to the Race to Let Reason rather than Sentiment or Habit Guide Us in Where to Spend Money and How to Cast Our Ballot. There is in the Negro race a hopefulness that made us superior to all the horrors of chattel slavery and still serves to cast an enchantment over our perspective. With doors of opportunity shutting in our faces on every hand, we look forward to living anyhow through the grace of a kind Providence. So much trustfulness in some superior power, has dulled the edge of our own brain and we trust to chance to direct our energies aright rather than making earnest intelligent effort to succeed. There is a saying that the world was made for the strong and wise; let the weak and ignorant hustle. This expresses an exact condition, though it may be faulty as an interpretation of divine intention. It is to this proneness to consider hastily and forget easily that costs us decent treatment in politics. Also no business conducted by white people need care what return it gives to the patronage it receives from us. It is customary to lay the blame for these conditions upon our leaders. But what of the followers? Can competent leadership for ten millions of people be found where but few have the qualifications for following? On the other hand, will not leadership measure up to need, if the rank and file of our people throw off their happy-go-lucky characteristics, and become self-reliant, energetic and intelligent? Industry and thrift must characterize the individual Negro, or the business enterprises of the race must fail for lack of support. Intelligence and purpose must replace sentiment and indifference. It is not enough to be indignant over ill treatment and straightway face about and do just the opposite of what has been our custom. Shallow brains act in that inconsiderate way. Let us reason well, weigh each act and persist in seeking our betterment. We know of no better example of the evil of thoughtless exercise of the franchise, than the demand upon the part of political agitators that we aid in carrying the amendment making possible the purchase of the water plant by the city, or the building of a municipal plant. Such argument as is made, may prove benefits to white officeholders, to white union laborers, to white promoters of real estate, but to the poor black citizen, whether owner or renter, the one question is strictly, will the rates of service under municipal ownership be lower than now? It is not a question whether rates are now high, but will they be lower? Cast this up in your mind well, and you will see that this is the crux of the question. Over the signature of the Denver Union Water company there have appeared in the news columns of this paper facts and figures with comparisons of prices. A careful study of these facts, a careful study of the statements of those who present a contrary case, will give sound foundation for an opinion on what should be done. It is sheer buncombe to call the water company dishonest. It is clap-trap to claim that the mere act of the city conducting the water system will make service better. No man's mouth is so holy that error may not proceed there from, and it is not enough that some opponent of the present company says its figures are lies. The people of Denver are bled through rotten state officials who graft in office, it has had the whole nauseous maladministration of county funds held up before it in years gone by, and it is now staggering under the burden of cost of the city administration which seems bent on giving every heeler in town a living with extras. Municipal ownership for this reason comes before us, suffering a handicap placed upon it by the well known inefficiency and costliness it imposes upon any service. For any partisan to enter a claim of cheaper water and have it considered, he must do more than make general denials of others' figures. Denver wants good water cheap! It is going to have it! But it is not going to rush blindly into municipal ownership because a claim is made that it will give these. Thinking voters will consider well and among these we want the Negro voters to be. We want the Negro voter to leave off casting an unthinking ballot. Most of us are Republicans and we ought to know why! So long as we vote blindly, we are led by blind leaders. When we vote intelligently, we will create intelligent leadership No one is in fault for our shameful condition but ourselves. Our patronage goes to every class of business in the city of Denver, and few of us have ever stopped to consider whether it could be used to help some deserving member of the race to do the porter work, if a clerkship is out of question. Stores in this city who hire no Negroes in any capacity, share with our friends the money we spend. Why should any merchant consider the application of a black man, if his competitors get more trade FIVE CENTS A COPY without hiring any of us? It is no use saying these things do not count. But so long as we herd like sheep, witless and careless, we are clods to be used by better men in their upward climb. Brothers, let's think! Then let's act! Then the good Lord who provides for His children will find us worthy of his choicest blessings! ORIGINAL RIGHTS SOCIETY. Prominent Visitors Made Stirring Addresses at Its January Meeting. Council No. 4 of the Original Rights Society of the United States, which was organized a few months ago in Brooklyn with the Rev. G. F. Miller as president, is incerasing in membership very rapidly. At its meeting the last week in January Dr. C. F. Taylor, second vice president of the state society, delivered an interesting address. He said that twenty years ago his faith in the colored people was born. He stated the occasion and said he concluded at the close that gray matter was going to win. He recognized difficulties and problems where ten millions of people are involved, but common sense and practical men can solve them. He also said that they were not to be sticklers on methods, but must believe in certain principles; not to fight any one who contributes to the success of the cause and should compromise on things not essential. He further said that the problem was in the keeping of the colored man; that they (the whites) stood behind them to succor, etc., and that they should have faith in their ability. As to politics, he said that the movement was neither partisan nor independent; that the people are generally a unit on great moral issues and common rights; that sentiment in unity is what is wanted to swing against wrong; that numbers do not count greatly, but the solidity of ideas, beliefs and convictions they must get. W. M. Trotter of Boston, editor of the Boston Guardian, was the next speaker. He said that he had heard much of the society and had come to the council to more fully understand its objects. He laid special emphasis on the full possession of the ballot by his race and said that with it they would take chances as to success. Mrs. S. J. S. Garnet, a retired principal of the public schools of New York city and superintendent of the Equal Suffrage league of Brooklyn, was accorded the floor. She told of her deep interest in the enfranchisement of her race and pledged her support in every possible way to the council. Dr. Charles Lena, chairman of the executive committee of the state organization, read a very able paper setting forth the principles of the society. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Busy times have been on for quite a while with the good people of Douglas in the case of the public schools, which has attracted wide attention, and has been settled by the court of the county in favor of law and justice. On the 31st day of January the court ordered the school board to forever leave alone the house in Boniville which was built for colored children and which is out of the city limits, and that the colored children remain with the white or in some building for this term, after which a building is to be erected for them in the center of the majority of our population. It was a matter worthy of note to see how the thinking class of people stood together with their money until the last charge was made. Our prayers are that God may bless John Williams, district attorney, and our brave and fearless counsel, Geo B. Watson. It is well supported by facts that Col. A. J. Johnson is nearing what will be known as the wealthiest Negro in several states in the near future. He has mining claims and mines of untold value. He has formed a company and incorporated under the laws of Arizona. Mr. Johnson has the backing and support of large capital. Rev. J. H. Brown has made two trips out to his mines near Douglas, and brought with him several specimens of ore which show a high class. Mr. Johnson has a host of other property besides his mines. He is a man of strong business ideas. Rev. J. P. Howard is expected to join in with Rev. J. H. Brown in two more weks. Rev. J. A. Holly, pastor of our Baptist church, has his rally Sunday. Rev. J. H. Brown delivered the sermon at 3 p. m. The sum realized was indeed gratifying. Rev. J. H. Prince, P. E., will hold his second quarterly meeting in the A. M. E. church from the 25th to the 28th. Rev. J. H. Brown has accomplished much for the church in this city since the short time of his sojourn. The rally for the A. M. E. church will come off on March 6. On that day the pastor and members are expecting to see the greatest results of their labor, which is $500. Zelda Bell Brown will entertain the Juvenile Club this week at the church. Ethel Hender served ice cream and cake at her party Saturday. SHERIDAN, WYOMING. Mrs. Estella Johnson of Omaha, Neb., sister of Mrs. A. Shute, is in our city to reside. Mrs. Anderson Cenault is expecting her aunt from Omaha, Neb., on a visit. Mrs. Thomas Hill, after a week's visit with her sister in Omaha, Neb., has returned home. Miss Neasnona Harrison is confined to her bed with pneumonia, but is better at this writing. Mrs. T. H. Newson is expecting her niece from St. Joseph, Mo., this week. Mr. Thomas Hill has returned from Billings on a business trip. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hubbard has sold out their rooming house and left for Chicago. Ill., on account of his health. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mrs. Cy Corneal left Sunday for Kansas for her health. Carrie A. Nation lectured at the opera house Thursday evening. Mrs. Pearl Jackson has gone to Fort McKenzie to work. Sunday was quarterly meeting. A fine report for the quarter. The entertainment at the church Monday night was quite a success. GUNNISON, COLO., NEWS. Gunnison, Colo., Feb. 21, 1910. Mrs. J. W. Lawrence has been on the sick list for a number of weeks. Mr. F. Shavers is suffering from rheumatism. Mrs. Hester Bryant has been suffering with neuralgia in her face the past week, but at this writing is able to be out again. Mrs. Lucy Clark is suffering with tonsilitis sore throat. Mrs. Mary Karr was compelled to give up her employment on account of her eyes. Miss Eliza Thomas is running a home bakery at present. Mr. William Bryant has been employed as janitor for the superintendent of the D. &R. G. headquarters at Gunnison. Mrs. Rachel Clark is on the sick list. Mr. Richard Bryant made a trip to Mt. Carbon Friday. Mr. L. J. Edwards and Mr. J. M. Murray of Denver are now employed on the D. & R. G. parlor cars running from Salida to Ouray. Mr. Edwards is occupying the position formerly held by Dr. C. M. Howe and Mr. Murray the one held by Mr. G. W. Smitn. Mr. C. H. Johnson of Colorado Springs was in our city Friday on the D. & R. G. pay car. He departed Saturday morning for Alamosa and other southern parts of the state. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Rev. L. R. Wilkins of Clarksville, Texas, has been called to pastor the Mt. Olive Baptist church. His first effort last Sunday was a well delivered sermon ful of thought and wisdom. Rev. Wilkins is an able divine and his members are pleased with their selection. The reverend expects to be joined shortly by his wife, which will be a fine addition to our growing society. Miss Lillie Weston and Mrs. M. Lawson stopped over in our city a few hours en route from California to their home in La Junta, Colo. Their friends in this city were pleased to see them. The members of the A. M. E. church, also the members of the Mt. Olive Baptist church, gave successful Valentine socials last Monday eve at their respective edifices. Eureka Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A M., moved their lodge from the Elks hall, where they have met for a number of years, to the more spacious quarters at the old Odd Fellows hall, where they will meet the second and fourth Mondays in the month. The A. M. E. Sunday school is progressing nicely under the superintendency of Mrs. L. S. Black. The membership is gradually increasing. --- The superintendent is desirous of making her Sunday school the banner school of the district. Mrs. Mabel Faucett, the well known rooming house landlady, has moved back into her old quarters at 315 W. Silver avenue. Go to Frank Johnson's restaurant for your Sunday dinner if you want to meet the best people in the city. As the city election grows near we expect to see as usual a number of fake political clubs springing up like mushrooms. W. T. Thornton, the cleaner, has just returned from a six weeks' trip to California points. Mr. 'Tornton looks much improved in health. SPECIAL NOTICE. All True Reformers. There has been in our midst the last two weeks a Christian gentleman who has done magnificent work, better known as Rev. Scott. He is desirous of meeting all of the True Reformers, so much so that he has decided to preach them a sermon next Thursday evening, March 3. Those who have badges will please wear them. Those who haven't the badges are expected to come just the same. All messengers will bear this in mind, because they are expected to be seated around the pulpit. Take due notice and be governed accordingly. Yours in U., T. and C., A. C. CASH, Chief. There will be a Neck Tie and Apron enertainment at Scott's Thursday, March 17th, for the benefit of the church. Mrs. Anna Bobo is the energetic leader. Jokera Justified. At last the funny man of the newspaper comic page has been justified. An enraged woman who tried to damage a doctor's residence by throwing stones was arrested for breaking the windows of the adjoining house. THIEVES TO CATCH THIEVES. Many Former Bandits Now Enrolled in Mexico's Famous Corps of Mounted Police. The rurales or mounted police have pretty nearly put a stop to brigandage. Several years ago the government recognized the wisdom of the old adage, "Set a thief to catch a thief," and offered pardon and protection to all brigands who would enlist as rurales. Most of them took advantage of the offer, writes Dillon Wallace in Outing, and with these men on the side of law and order holdups soon became infrequent, and the rurales developed into a wonderfully efficient mounted force to hunt down bandits. They are fearless riders, they know every mountain pass and fastness, and when they once start after a man he is pretty sure to be caught or killed—generally killed. The rurales of Mexico compare favorably in bravery and reckless daring with that wonderful organization the Northwest Mounted Police of Canada and are by far the best armed force in Mexico. Their calling gives them opportunity for wild adventure, and thus satisfies the craving for a life of danger, which led many of them to be brigands in the first instance. They are a free and easy lot, quite in contrast to the peaceably inclined policemen of the towns and the slow moving, indolent soldiery of the regular army. HUMOR FROM OVER WATER Some Samples That Seem to Disprove Englishmen Have No Sense We spoke last Sunday of the Pall Mall Gazette's funny column. Mr. E. Jerningham's "Maxims of Marmaduke" gives a more cheerful view of English wit and humor. Here are two or three samples: "Almost every Englishman imagines he is moral because he objects to immortality—in others." "He who is drunk in a first-class carriage has had a fit; he who has had a fit in a third-class carriage is drunk!" "Man—a biped with prejudices—which he calls principles." Here is a quotation from "Woman as a Work of Art": "Since her return from the restorers at Homburg Mrs. B.—has, as we expected she would, greatly improved. We are now able to detect the delicate coloring and the eleborate workmanship which were before obscured by unnecessary varnish. In Mrs. B—the nation has secured an important example of the New York school. She possesses considerable freedom of style, but her middle distance is a trifle pompous."—Boston Herald. WILD BEASTS BECOME PLAGUE Enforcement of Japanese Edicts Leaves Koreans at the Mercy of Jungle Prowlers. We learn from the Jiji that as a result of the prohibition against the carrying of firearms by Koreans, and also against the importation of rifles, fowling pieces, and ammunition from Japan, with a view of preventing the insurgents obtaining further supplies of arms and ammunition, the hunting of wild game in Korea has been entirely stopped. In consequence a rapid increase in the number of wild beasts is taking place, and tigers and wolves are being constantly met with in the fields in the interior, thus rendering traveling in these parts extremely dangerous. The havoc wrought by tigers is particularly evident in Ping-au province, where no less than 33 persons have been attacked by these animals lately. At one place a tiger entered the house of a farmer and killed a baby. The authorities in Korea are becoming alarmed at the rapid increase in the number of wild animals, and have made niquiries of the soological department in the College of Science in the Tokio Imperial university regarding the best means for the destruction of tigers and wolves. Weasels the Peta of Trappers. In the Macmillan region an adult male Arctic weasel was taken in a cabin near the mouth of Russell creek. "It poked its head out between the small holes of the floor and quietly surveyed a party of us as we sat in the candlelight one evening after supper. It then vanished for a moment and reappeared with its mate, and the pair ran about the room for some minutes as unconcernedly as if we had not been there. Later in the night, after we had gone to bed, it stepped into a trap set in the corner of the room and awoke us by its shrill cries. Trappers encourage weasels to live about their cabins, making pets of them and greatly valuing their services in keeping the premises free from mice." CHEYENNE, WYOMING. The Searchlight Club has given various and varied entertainments, but never in the history of the club's existence has an entertainment been given that proved as delightfully entertaining, as distinctly progressive and throughout as thoroughly enjoyed as "A Night With Negro Composers." Mrs. J. A. Baker, the president of the club, was assisted in the arrangement of the program by Mrs. Plumb Banks and the music and recitations rendered were very effective, beautifully rendered and appreciated to the highest extent. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was very charmingly presented by Mesdames Redd, Thrower and Banks and by Mr. Curtis A. Ward. Dunbar is always enjoyed and his delineations of character depicted by artists such as the above mentioned won many new friends to his memory. Mrs. Banks was particularly enjoyable in her rendition of Ethiopia. Mrs. De Marge De Wise read a very interesting account of the life of Coleridge Taylor, our English Negro composer. Mrs. John A. Baker in her charming manner artistically interpreted several of his compositions. Mrs. Baker's playing is always more than enjoyed, and she merits all the praise that she receives. Mrs. James E. Smith was the vocal soloist of the evening and rendered two selections in her charming and inimitable manner. Her rendition of "Dear Lord Remember Me," by DeKoven Thompson, a Negro composer of Chicago, was received with approbation. Cheyenne now claims Denver's Clyde Andrews, who is now with the Ninth Cavalry band at Fort Russell, and his own composition, "Nocturne," was played by the composer, and to say that it was enjoyed would be mildly expressing the sentiment of feeling. A very sweet tribute was tendered to Mrs. E. F. Landor, who at the time was unable to attend or take part on account of being ill, by the rendition by the soloist of the evening, Mrs. Smith, of a song composed by Mrs. Landor. Coming in the nature of a surprise, the honor is highly appreciated. At the close of the program a very delicious menu was enjoyed by all who were fortunate in securing tickets for program. The artistic decorations were due to the efforts of Mrs. Banks, and added much to the enjoyment of the affair. Mrs. Baker is to be congratulated for the success of the entertainment, the club realizing clear of expenses the sum of $43. Mrs. Redd acted as mistress of ceremonies and presided very gracefully. Beautiful and artistic in every detail was the luncheon tendered by Mrs. James E. Smith to the members of the Searchlight Club and its friends. The affair was in keeping with the custom that has been established by the club in presenting to club members on their wedding anniversary, birthdays for unmarried, by presenting them with a handsome gift, the recipient responding by entertaining the donors. Last Thursday the beautiful home of Mrs. Smith was the scene of good cheer and charming hospitality. Mrs. Smith was acted as a delightful hostess at many elaborate luncheon, but the one given in honor of her romantic marriage several years ago surpassed any as yet ever given by that delightful hostess. The dining room was particularly beautiful, soft shaded lights shedding a rosy glow over a room warmly tinted, a table elegant in its appointments of beautiful drapery, shining silver and sparkling cut glass in abundance. The menu was delightful and was an added tribute to the versatility of the hostess. Those enjoying the hospitality of Mrs. Smith were Mesdames Thrower, Banks, Baker, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Jefferson, York, Harris, Washington and Miss Lena Hopkins, Mrs. Prolieu and Mrs. Young of Fort Russell were unable on account of illness to be present, with regret missing the most elaborate and enjoyable event of the season. (This article is the contribution of our regular correspondent, Mrs. Landor, which, together with the news above, was held over from last week because of lack of space.—Ed.) Dictionary Needed. A writer in the Bystander thinks that compilers of aviation dictionaries have been a little slow in not providing some unique swear words for use when things don't go just right for aeronauts and spectators. "I can not help thinking a few must have been invented at Juvisy, for instance, and elsewhere," he writes. "Few things can contribute more to enrich the language than impatience, a day in the train for a 20-mile journey, being trodden under-foot by a raging crowd, and a stiff neck. And bad weather, hotel charges and the aviator's refusal to fly because he has lost his pocket handkerchief, or his oil can, or a nut, or what not—and you have all the requisites for the composition of an aero-oath." The Growth of Insanity. Statistics serve to show a steady increase in the number of the insane. The most reliable statistics known to us, those taken in Massachusetts, show that in that state the number of insane in the asylums is increasing from 250 to 300 a year, which is a much larger proportionate increase than that of the sane population. Reports from other states show similar results. Some of the more generally accepted causes of the increase of insanity are given as follows: The overtension of modern life, brought on by the keen struggle for life; the congestion and excitement of city life, and the fact that insanity is becoming more and more an incurable disease. Why Thunder Is So Loud. Experiments made in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory by Professor Trowbridge of Harvard university show that the astounding noise of a lightning discharge is largely due to the dissociation of water vapor, through the explosion of the hydrogen and oxygen gases produced by such dissociation. In his mimic lightning experiments the authority referred to has produced a torrent of huge electric sparks. The noise of the discharge was so great that the operator had to stop his ears with cotton and then wrap a heavy cloth around them. The Sunday Magazine. Steer More and Blow Less. If the same amount of effort expended on the automobile horn to get people to move out of your way were used to move the steering wheel slightly so as not to seem to bear directly upon the person in front, and if you should steer around wagons in the road, as nine times out of ten you must do in the end, rather than blow Dances to Raise Money for Charity.

While the oil steamer Asuncion was off the California coast recently the Humboldt wireless station at Eureka received a message saying that a sailor had fallen from the rigging, suffering injuries which caused internal hemorrhages. Medical advice for the injured man was asked. The wireless station communicated with Dr. Charles Falk of the marine service, who prescribed treatment. The steamer remained hove to until the prescription of the physician had been received by wireless. GOLDEN GATE JU/ENILES. S. M. T. and U. B. F.

Work of Uplift and Influence of Tuskegee Institute Felt by Wealth Producing Classes. View of Disciple of Higher Education. Dr. Washington's Report-Farmers' Annual Conference. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The wisdom and commercial value of the helpful work which Tuskegee (Alabama) institute is doing for and among our people in the south were never before so generally recognized by the wealth producing classes in this country as at the present time. While I am a strict disciple of higher education for my race and while I must-insist that constant agitation for all the rights, privileges and immuni- THE FESTIVAL JESSUP AGRICULTURAL WAGON. ties guaranteed by the constitution to citizens of the United States without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude be kept up, as long as discrimination on account of color is practiced by the people of this country against the Negro all fair minded persons must admit that industrial education in all of its phases is of inestimable value to the masses of our people who make their living out of the soil. Home getting, landowning, the trades and professions should ever go hand in hand in the great work of uplift among us. An idea of the national and international scope of the work at Tuskegee may be gleamed from the recent report of Dr. Washington for 1909. He says: During the year which has just closed the number of students enrolled in all departments of the institute proper has been 1,621,1,085 young men and 536 young women. The average attendance has been about 1,400. This number does not include the 400 enrolled in the winter short course in agriculture nor the 144 children in the training school. The regular students in the institute proper have come from thirty-eight states and twenty-one foreign countries. The average has been eighteen and one-half, none being admitted under fourteen. At the close of the year 110 persons received diplomas and industrial or trade certificates. The number of students to finish the course in proportion to the enrollment is small and perhaps will always be so for the reason that in the degree that the economic element enters into trade education the student is tempted to leave school before finishing the course. But experience shows that many of those who are doing the most useful THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD work terr the institution before nissing the full course. The number of students reached directly in the class room does not, however, embrace all the work done by the institution. It carries on constantly a wide range of what might be designated as "extension work," and this greatly adds to the annual expenditure for current expenses. This extension work in brief includes the annual Negro conference, together with its numerous branches known as local conferences. This extension work also includes the publication of a weekly farm paper, Farmers' Monthly Institute, the short course in agriculture, the farm demonstration work, now extended to Mississippi and Texas, support- THE POTATOES ARE PLOWED IN. TRUCK GARDENING. ed largely by the United States government and the general education board; a town night school, a town afternoon cooking class, the county institute, ministers' night school, a weekly mothers' meeting, county ministers' meetings, supervision of a county and state fair, the Natoanl Negro Business league and a general effort to co-operate with the county officials to improve the country schools. One result of this latter work is seen in the fact that in one year the colored people in Macon county, Ala., contributed in cash toward the building of new schoolhouses and the extension of the school term more than $3,000. In this work it ought to be added that school officials have given us every assistance and encouragement possible. In all departments of the institution 166 instructors and helpers have been employed. In considering the cost of education at the Tuskegee institute one should not only keep in mind the double character of the education, academic and industrial, but also the further fact that the institution is in session practically twelve months in the year instead of eight or nine, as is true of most institutions. It may interest the trustees to note that the cost of the table board for students has been for each one $1.19 per week, 17 cents per day, or 5.68 cents per meal. I ought to mention three elements that have added considerably to the item of current expense-first, an almost entire loss of a large sweet potato crop from rottening; second, the loss of a large proportion of our pigs from cholera, and, third, an unexpected outbreak of sickness among our students. Notwithstanding the hard and constant struggle we have had this year to get money, it will be seen from the detailed report of our treasurer that we have ended the year free from all indebtedness for current expenses. This has not been done without the exercise of the strictest economy. The ending of the year free of debt has been brought about very largely, however, through the generosity of "three friends in Brooklyn," Mrs. Russell Sage and other friends who will not permit the use of their names. At the nineteenth annual Tuskegee Negro conference recently held, which was attended by thousands of farmers and their wives, one of the principal subjects for discussion was "How I Bought a Farm." Dr. Washington said that a great many persons would be disfranchised, because only those who had acquired a farm would be allowed to speak. The stories told were interesting, instructive and inspiring. The farmers Continued on page 7 The Leader Cafe MRS. L. LACY AND MRS. S. E. JAMES, Proprietors D. W. LACY, Manager REGULAR NOON DINNER.

Ingram, who is much better now; Mrs. Maloney-Jennings of 2844 California street, who was so ill that her husband had to come from Pueblo to look after her; Mrs. Esther Rice and Miss Pennia Simmons are steadily improving, while Mrs. Edna Nichols-Bailey is able to be out again. Mrs. Alice White of 1960 Sherman has been elected messenger of Capitol Hill Fountain, Mrs. Wooden having resigned. The Fountain meets every first and third Friday for the time being. Miss Lena Wilson, relative to Mrs. Lizzie Douglass of Clarkson street, returned last Tuesday from San Diego, Cal., fully anxious to stay in Colorado permanently.

The civil rights cases of McClain will come up for argument before Judge Greely Whitford Monday morning. In the Auditorium case a general demurrer has been interposed. It is certainly strange that the Negro will not support a cause like this with his finance, when the matter must go to the highest court for final adjudication. Rev. J. N. Wallace and Class Leader W. S. Evans, representatives of Scott M. E. church in the layman's missionary movement had a conference at a dinner given Tuesday at the Home Dairy by Reverends Russell and Dr. Vincent. NOTICE. Rev.

CARL WILSON, Mother; ARDESSA PETERSON, Sister. GREAT REVIVAL. There have been many revivalists come to Denver, but none has aroused more interest in the work he comes to do than has Rev. T. L. Scott, who is conducting the series of meetings at Campbell church, of which Rev. Williams is pastor. For three weeks unprecedented crowds have gone to the church nightly and nearly a hundred have left off their old ways and taken up the new life. In that time for several services, many have been turned away because both the pews and standing room could hold no more. The forceful presentation of the gospel and the matchless singing of the old familiar hymns has been a magnet that attracted to Campbell church saint and sinner until it is a familiar sight nowadays to see crowds going thitherward each night. All attempt to describe the power which Rev. Scott exerts over his hearers falls. The dozens of men young and old that have come into the church at his call is more eloquent of his ability than any mere word description. No small part of his influence comes from his matchless singing. Without other aid than his own voice, he leads his song service and many, half persuaded by his preaching, are won completely by the old tunes of other days, made sacred by memories of mother and home. The services will continue through next week. Notice. Rocky Mountain Court No. 3 will give a chittering and chicken supper, Monday evening, Feb. 21, 191, at the residence of Miss Laura Moore, No. 2036 Arapahoe street.

The Masons of the city have been unusually active in the last few weeks. The banquet given by Centennial Lodge last week is still talked of as one of the pleasant affairs of the week and one of the best of its kind ever given here. Monday night Rocky Mountain Lodge made four new members, bringing its membership up to 123, the largest number in all its history. This gives it the distinction of being the greatest lodge in numbers and finance of any in the West. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Miss Benhaer Collier and Fred Brown were happily married at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Collier, 2532 Glenarm Place, Wednesday afternoon, by Rev. Wallace. Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale and Mr. Cornelius Rice will lead the Epworth League Sunday evening. The topic for discussion is "How to Work," John 9:4-5, Romans 12:11. The topic last Sunday provoked a lively discussion. The pastor will conduct evangelistic services every Sunday evening. Subject for Sunday evening, "Prepare to Meet Thy God." Sinners are especially invited to attend these meetings. The Junior League will give a Flag Drill at Scott's Friday, March 11th, to help the pastor to prepare for Conference. There will be a small admission. Rev. J. J. Cabbell, district superintendent, will hold the last quarterly conference March 5th and 6th. Every department is requested to make a full report for the year. The Junior League had quite an interesting meeting last Sunday. Four little ones decided for Christ and joined the church. Refreshments will be servied next Sunday afternoon. Members and friends are invited. Some gentleman made a mistake and carried the Rev. J. N. Wallace's hat from the Masonic banquet hall last Thursday night. The owner of the hat that was left instead can secure it at Mr. Harry Jones' barber shop. FEAST OF THE PASSOVER. Observed by Naomi Household Sons and Daughters of Moses. Secret and benevolent societies were very much interested in the celebration of the feast of the Passover, which was held under the auspices of Naomi Household of the Prince and Princess. No. 4. Sons and Daughters of the Order of Moses, at Sumner hall, Brooklyn, the second week in February. The large number of invited guests and visitors from other societies were treated to an excellent literary and musical program. The order in Brooklyn is in a flourishing condition and has a large membership. The feast of the Passover is one of the ritualistic principles of the order, and its annual observance is always looked forward to by the members with much anticipation of renewing their obligations and pledges for the success of the order. WE ARE NOT ALL MEAN. Brainy Editors Expatiate on How to Judge the Negro. The Kansas City (Mo.) Sun says: The white man must not judge us by the riffraff in our race, but size us up by the good men and good women who are tolling each day to make the world better. Don't allow yourself to believe that we are all mean. The Dallas (Tex.) Express adds: The white man has no more right to judge us by the riffraff than we have to judge him by the riffraff. If we cared nothing for decency we wouldn't see anything but his worst element. Let him begin to look for the other class among us and he'll learn to judge us better. One always finds what he looks for THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. WOMEN OF HIGH STANDARD. Encouraging Report From Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs. In speaking recently of the work which Afro-American clubwomen are doing for the uplift of our people in most all sections of the country, and particularly in the state of Virginia Mrs. Harris Barrett said: "The chief object of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women is to raise to the highest plane home, moral and civil life. There are today belonging to the Virginia federation nearly fifty organized clubs, representing over a thousand women, all of whom are working along some line to better conditions in their communities, and this does not begin to represent all the women who are working for the common good. The minutes of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs for 1908, to which our federation belongs, reported that the women's clubs of twenty-eight states had federated and were working along common lines. There is no need for discouragement, even though at times the way seems so dark. The united efforts of all these women must in time make the world see what it is now so slow to believe—namely, there are good, honest women in our ranks whose standards are as high as those of any women. "We have connected with our federation clubs whose members are actively engaged in home, school, church and village improvement. Rescue and charity work are also included in their activities. In Norfolk, Va., under the efficient management of Mrs. Laura E Titus, there is an association of women doing splendid work. Among the many things they are doing is the establishing of a home for the protection of girls. In Lynchburg, Va., Mrs. Lucy Stevens is also rendering splendid assistance to the working girls in her section." GOOD NEWS FOR THE BOYS. Past Commander O'Reilly Wants Them Back In Memorial Day Parade. Past Commander Miles O'Reilly of U. S. Grant post, No. 327, G. A. R. Brooklyn, is anxious that boys' brigades and civic organizations which have been shut out of the Memorial day parade of the Grand Army of the Republic for two years should again be found in line. He believes it would teach a lesson in patriotism, and it is understood that the grand marshal, John Murphy, will be appealed to in the matter and that the adjutant general, George H. Jackson, secretary of the memorial and executive committee of Kings county, will also be prevailed upon to include these bodies in the march. It is known that the reason for excluding these bodies was on account of reports made to the memorial and executive committee of unwarranted conduct while in line of one or more civic organizations, and it was voted to exclude them. A meeting of the delegates from Grant post to the memorial and executive committee was held a short time ago at headquarters to take this matter under consideration. Past Commander O'Reilly was chosen chairman and James F. Canfield secretary The delegates will bring the matter up, it is understood, at the February meeting of the memorial and executive committee.

Business Arena For Young Men National Afro Art Company of Washington Will Manufacture and Issue Busts of Prominent Men of the Race Who Have Achieved Success In Many Callings. No race that does not respect him honor its own great men and leaders need expect that honor to come from the people of another race. For ages pictures and statuary have been among the chief means of calling attention to a people's most honored names. Such representations, besides perpetuating the memory of the great, arouse the interest of the young, frequently stimulating them to familiarize themselves with the words and deeds of these characters. Familiarity with the lives of great men begets emulation and aids in the formation of character. No one is able to say what famous general, statesman, scholar, writer or leader of men was started on the road to greatness by means of a statue or a bust. A race is known historically more by the great men it has produced than by the masses that exist. A people's great men are taken as an index into the character of the race that produced them. "The history of a nation," says Carlyle. "is but the biography of its great men." Has not the American Negro produced from among his people leaders in thought and accomplishment that deserve such distinction that would serve as an inspiration to the youth of coming generations in their ambition to accomplish nobler things? We think he has. If this be true, is it not time for us to give expression to the fact through the most enduring means known to man—that of art? A bust likeness calls for the highest skill of the trained sculptor. The Negro race in its short history from slavery has produced but few sculptors whose ability and training would fit them for the best work along this line. And we doubt very much that these few have received from their race the appreciation and encouragement they deserve. The National Afro Art company of Washington is engaged in the manu- J. facture of busts of prominent men or the race who have achieved success along many lines. The company had its inception in the thrift and industry of Mr. Charles E. Hall, who is its president. Mr. Hall communicated his plans to Mr. William L. Board, who took kindly to his suggestions, which resulted in the organization of the National Afro Art company. Besides the president, the other two members are William L. Board, vice president and general manager, and J. Mitchell Seabrook, secretary and treasurer. If you are a lover of literature in its most charming style you will want a bust of that incomparable genius of our race, who told our stories in prose and chanted in verse the songs of the lowly and the aspirings of the noble, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Our Mr. Hathaway is the only person in the world who has a mask of our poet Dunbar. If you are an admirer of that most remarkable man the south has produced since the civil war, whose sanity and wisdom have won the confidence of the white and black peoples alike both north and south, the great apostle of work, hope and optimism, you will want a bust of Booker T. Washington. If you are an admirer of him who is perhaps the most profound scholar and finished writer of literature the race has yet produced in America, who has stepped from within the veil long enough to reveal to the world the souls of black folk in their religious,feeling, in their sorrow songs, in their struggles and longings to have men judge justly this race of ours by our souls and not by our skins, you will want a bust of W. E. Burghardt DuBois. If you are a lover of womankind and who is not?—you'll want a bust of the first woman of our race whose patriotic rhapsodies raised her name from a slave's oblivion to a place among America's literati, Phillis Wheatley. Race patriotism in the Negro cannot be better expressed than by adorning his home with his own race products of art. Be proud, my race, in mind and soul; Thy name is writ on glory's scroll Interesting Coming Event. The First battalion of the First regiment, Knights of Pythias, Major John T. Williams commanding, will hold a reception and dance Thursday evening, Feb. 24, at Forbes Street hall, Pittsburg, with the Independent band and Beatty's orchestra supplying the inspiration. Brigadier General F. Sutton and staff will be present in full dress uniform. The companies composing the battalion are: Elite, No. 5, Captain W. D. Carter; Greater Pittsburg, No. 14, Captain C. W. Jenkins; Lincoln, No. 17, Captain W. O. Hunter, and Pride of Pittsburg, No. 21, Captain J. S. Mayes. In Plain Contempt of Supreme Court. The Detroit (Mich.) Informer does not believe in lionizing persons who have served time for disobeying the mandates of the supreme court of the United States and says, "With Senator Taylor of Tennessee pledging support and 10,000 people of Hamilton county, Tenn.. going wild in lionizing Sheriff Shipp upon his return, all of which is in plain contempt of the nation's supreme court for sending Shipp and his deputies to jail for ninety days, it would seem that the so called "best people" of the south favored lynching. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. S. JOSEPHINE 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. POPH. 1.

The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO" TRADE MARK (Registered) in the audience who had not yet bought farms resolved that they would not be disfranchised at the next conference because of their failure to own a piece of land. Mr. E. P. Powell told how he bought 295 acres of land, Mr. Jordan of Mississippi 420 acres, Mr. Jones 290 acres, J. Thomas 1,034 acres and Scott Bond 2,789 acres. Mr. Jones said: "When I look down in the valley on my farm and think of the many days and nights I have suffered there a peculiar feeling comes over me. Well do I remember when I spent the night in that little shack over there, and on one occasion I pulled off my boots and left them sitting near me, when, to my surprise, on waking in the morning they contained considerable water. I became a dissatisfied creature, and it was there I resolved I would better my condition if the Lord spared me." One of the most important events of the conference was the address of J. M. Parker of the J. M. Parker cotton firm of New Orleans, who is one of the largest individual planters in the country. He gave a strong, sensible and forcible address to the conference. He said that "the credit system is the curse of the south." He urged every one present to get on a cash basis and stay there. At the workers' conference the subject for discussion was "How Can the THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WORLD CLASS IN DRESSMAKING. Schools Increase the Industrial Efficiency of the People?" The principal address was delivered by Dr. James A. Dillard, secretary of the Jeans fund.

All United In Movement For Y. M. C. A. In no movement for the good of our people in Pittsburg has there been exhibited anything like the unanimity of purpose which the movement to establish a Y. M. C. A. among them has called forth. All denominations and classes have laid aside their little differences and distinctions for the time being in the very laudable endeavor to make the movement so far as the race is concerned a grand success. Men in almost every walk of life, old as well as young, throng the headquarters at 1325 Wylle avenue to subscribe and solicit for the fund. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. LEVEL HEADED CITIZEN. National Scope and Influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington's Work. In commenting editorially upon the influence and work of Dr. Booker T. Washington the Brooklyn Daily Eagle says: The principal of Tuskegee school for the instruction of men and women of the Negro race in teaching and in useful arts and trades has been making a profound impression on this city during his present midwinter visit. The tasks to his hand grow not less, but more. The statements he makes for aid, counsel, labor, concert of effort and money to meet needs were never before so varied, so impressive and so convincing. They never before deserved to be more successful, for they were never before so necessary. Booker Washington is a master of fiscal statement. He is as a speaker practical, luminous, pathetic, humorous and eloquent. There is no Negro who is so level headed. There is no white speaker who exceeds and we recall few white speakers who equal him in public address. His greatest work, however, is one of provision and influence. He provides methods and he is providing men that will sustain and continue his work when he must cease from it. He is fusing in friendship the best of the Negroes and the best of the whites all over this country, but especially in the south, for the great work of uplift which he is doing.

At a recent meeting of the board of managers of the New England Baptist missionary convention held in New York it was decided to change the date of the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the convention from June 16 to June 2 in order to accommodate pastors of churches and others officially connected with the convention who have planned to attend the world's Baptist congress which meets in Edinburgh in June. If the majority of the churches of the convention favor the change the convention will be held in the Abyssinia Baptist church.

No papering the subscriber. LOYALTY BEGETS LOYALTY. The Negro Press is Expected to Make Bricks Without Straw. The press is the glory of the white race. In the smallest hamlet and the largest city it holds sway, supporting with absolute fidelity that which its patrons stand for, whether that be good or evil. Human slavery, industrial slavery, vice and lawlessness, and all the misdirected efforts of the white people, are upheld or excused by a loyal press. Take the Cairo, Illinois, riots last week! Note the immediate support which came to the rioters in their attack upon law and order, simply because it was "white" rioters arrayed against "black" deputies defending a "black" purse-snatcher. True, a few papers rise superior to expediency and fight for right, let it profit whom it may. But in the main, the white press is THE ONE MAINSTAY OF RACE PREJUDICE. It is a raging Goliath daring any Negro to attempt to rise above the level of his fellows. Nor is a David in sight. The Negro press maintains a precarious existence, never getting far from business insolvency, and always compelled to hawk its services about to the highest bidder, because the Negro race unlike the white race, does not support its press. "Big" Negroes expect the press to exist without them contributing a dollar to it. Social Negroes give big parties and expect detailed descriptions thereof, but never welcome the newspaper collector. Poor Negroes cannot give to the race press what they have not. So it is that the race press is feeble. Its debtors are legion and its supporters few. Church members whose professions of religion seem honest, people who work year in and year out, "race lovers" of all degrees of curb-stone eloquence, are all to be found among those who subscribe for but do not pay for the race papers. The poor editor is so hungry and hopeless that he lifts up his eyes in thankfulness when such as these ask that the paper be sent them, but alas! for his hopes, pay day never comes. On the other hand, the daily paper enters these same homes and is paid for. The one feebly tries to show that Ethiopia is rising; the other turns its shafts of ridicule upon us, points out our every weakness, and where truth and insinuation will not avail, resorts to pure fabrication to make a case against us. No wonder the Negro is so generally despised. He kisses the hand --- PAGE.8 Many THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The fault can only be should be as late as Monday in reach- that smites, and curses and misuses his friend.

BUSINESS INCREASING. Afro-American Insurance Concerns Being Helped by Hampton Institute. The rapid increase in the number of insurance companies among Afro-Americans in the tidewater section of Virginia and especially in the vicinity of Hampton institute within the past few years has made such a favorable impression upon the principal and faculty of the school that they have employed an insurance expert at the institute, whose duty it is to give instruction to all persons engaged in the insurance business among our people whom he can reach. Already a sufficient number has been got together to form the Federated Insurance league. The new organization will endeavor to unite the various secret benevolent and fraternal societies, which number something like 178, known to exist. The combined membership of these societies numbers about 3,000,000, with an annual income of $4,000,000. In Memory of General Armstrong. The birthday anniversary of General S. C. Armstrong, founder of Hampton Normal institute, Virginia, was fittingly observed recently under the auspices of the New York circle of graduates and ex-students in Greater New York and vicinity. The celebration was held in the audience room of the Young Women's Christian association, West Fifty-third street, New York. A. L. Hayes, president of the circle, presided, and Secretary F. C. Hazel read letters of approval from many persons who were unable to be present. Noted Minstrel and Banjoist Dies. Charles E. Dobson, the well known Afro-American minstrel showman whose death occurred recently in New York, had been in the business for over a quarter of a century and had traveled extensively in the United States and in Europe. He was rated as one of the greatest banjo players known to the profession. He managed and conducted many minstrel troupes and musical comedy shows in his day and made money. He was seventy-one years of age. --- TERMS.

WHAT EDUCATION MEANS. Civilization Depends Upon Knowledge and Steady Productive Labor. Every savage people, every barbarous tribe, lifts itself in the scale of civilization first by abandoning hunting and fishing and nomad life and settling on the land, there to engage in steady, productive labor, says Charles W. Elliot. The next means of uplifting any people is education—work by the generation to which the parents belong upon the children of another, work by the people who are in possession of the forces of the world upon the rising generation which they seek to bring up to the level of their own generation and then to set in the upward and onward way. Education means the bringing up of each successive generation to the standards of the former generation and putting the rising generation in possession of the means of civilization which the former generations have won. --- THE STATESMAN.

BIGGINS 2231 WASHINGTON FURNITURE REPAIRING SECOND-HAND FURNITURE BOUGHT AND SOLD Home Institute An Ideal School From Humble Beginning In a Church to Its Present Home. With Property Valued at $60,000. Represents the Growth of Flourishing Industrial School at Memphis—Work of Students. Howe institute Memphis, Tenn., is one of the many schools in various parts of the south for the education of Afro-American youths of which the public may not have heard much of in the past few years. Nevertheless it is doing splendid work for the masses of our people in that section. Howe institute was started in 1888, mainly through the philanthropy of the late Peter Howe of Illinois. That it was a wise investment may be shown by the uplifting influence upon the community which the school has exerted since its inception. Twenty-one years ago this school was held in a church. Today, in the residential section, not far from the Union station, there is a college colony where will be found an imposing three story brick industrial and domestic building and dormitory for girls, with [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. REV. DR. T. O. FULLER. all modern fixtures necessary for general and special purposes. This building is valued at $10,000. Affording the comforts that pedagogues who are doing this necessary racial constructive work meritoriously deserve, the teachers' cottage, built at a cost of $2,000, is also an excellent model for the community. The industrial shop erected by students ends an impetus to the ambitious youth who wants to become a craftsman when he sees the advantages which the institution offers. Besides caring for the indisposed students in the frame building now used as the sick retreat, the girls get a practical training of the laws of hygiene for the home, especially when one of their family is ill. Rev. T. O. Fuller, A. M. Ph. D., was elected principal of this institution in 1902. His executive ability and broad conception of his duty to his neighbor were the requisites that placed him among the foremost Afro-American legislators of North Carolina. The same inherent qualities and his exceptional traits for the conservation of the forces that will make young Afro-Americans influential citizens have made Howe Institute PAGE. 8. a mighty influence for good. It has an exemplary faculty. The members are from the leading institutions of higher learning of the north and south; therefore the departments of Howe-literary, music, domestic science, sewing, basketry, printing, industrial, ministerial and stenographic-have men and women instructors getting satisfactory results. The women's Bible training class, which is composed of 200 women of various denominations of the city, is taught in a comprehensive way the Bible and the everyday problems that confront it. The 395 students from nine states are taught how to live a life of usefulness. The settlement work done by the student body is teaching them the investment of talent and its return. Thousands in Memphis and the rural districts contiguous to it are inspired by the helpfulness of noble manhood and womanhood. The good this institution is doing cannot be overestimated. The free kindergarten is happily doing a work that will cause the footsteps of its little ones to ascend the heights where honors are not evanescent. The institution is controlled and owned by 140,000 Afro-American Baptists of Tennessee. The present valuation of properties is $60,000. Dr. Fuller is planning and working daily to increase the influence of this creditable institution, where racial ideals inspire one to greater effort. Crescent Club's Sixth Anniversary. One of the most enjoyable of the many social functions given by musical and social clubs in Brooklyn recently was that of the Crescent Social club, at Sumner hall, in celebration of its sixth anniversary, which took the form of a banquet and dance. By invitation it brought together the leaders of a number of musical, literary and social organizations. Features of the occasion were the grand march and the execution of several of the latest dances. Twenty Days For White Chicken Thief. Out in Pasadena, Cal., the latter part of January, it is alleged, one George Willetts, a white man, was arrested for stealing chickens from the henroost of Stephen Wilson, an Afro-American. In court Wilson said. "Judge, if you will allow me, I will ask that you be just as easy as possible with this white man. I just want him out of the way so he will not steal any more of my chickens." The court sentenced Willetts to twenty days in the county jail. Broad Minded Public Official. Mayor William J. Gaynor of New York, whose attention was recently called to the work of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, says of the institution and its superintendent: "The enterprise is of the highest merit, and every one broad enough to look at humanity in a broader spirit than that of mere race or sect should contribute to it if his means permit. The superintendent is the Rev. James H. Gordon, in every way competent and worthy of your confidence." NOTICE.
