REPORT OF DISTRICT CONFERENCE
TWENTY-FIRST YEAR
REPORT DIST CONE
District Convention of the A. C. E. League and W. M. M. Society, May 17-19, 1910.
Promptly at 2:30 p. m. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, D. D., presiding elder of the Denver District; Mrs. J. W. Holmes of Boulder, Colo., district president of Allen Christian Endeavor League, and Bishop Abraham Grant, D. D., presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, came into that historic and beautiful church of which all African Methodists are justly proud, Shorter Chapel of Denver, Colo., and touched the button of activity and put into motion a young people's meeting. This is the first convention of its kind ever held in the West.
After devotions, Miss Thistle, of Cheyenne, Wyo., the only negro public school teacher in the state of Wyoming, was elected secretary. The necessary committees were appointed. Mrs. Lizzle N. Douglas, president of the local league of Shorter, was introduced to deliver the welcome address. Mrs. Douglas made her welcome address so hearty and earnest that every one felt himself to be at home among the members of Shorter Chapel.
Mr. Nolle Smith, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, the young man who took the examination for admission into West Point, was called to respond to the address of welcome. His response was scholarly, logical and laden with wholesome advice. There were several other papers read, among them the district president's annual address. Every one of them was good.
The president, in a terse speech, introduced Bishop Abraham Grant, D. D., who spoke to us for a half hour on the work that is being done by the young people of the A. C. E. League. We could have listened to the good bishop for hours with pleasure. At night the league had a special sermon preached by Rev. J. W. Braxton, of Colorado Springs. The speaker took, as his subject, "The Angel of Dawn." The sermon was good and every one enjoyed it.
On Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock Mrs. A. M. Ward, accompanied by Bishop Abraham Grant, D. D., presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, and Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Denver District, ascended the platform and launched the boat of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the Denver District. When we went into Shorter Chapel we were taken by the beautiful floral decorations of the

church. The ceremonies were as follows: A song service was conducted by Mrs. A. G. Elliot; Scripture reading by Mrs. Unity Hall. The convention was organized by electing Mrs. M. E. Carter recording secretary, and Mrs. Effle Waldon corresponding secretary.
There were a good many papers and addresses delivered that afternoon, and among them was the president's annual address, which was a splendid production. The convention received quite a deal of inspiration from the president's address, and the many good papers that were read by the delegates and especially from the address of Bishop Abraham Grant, D.D. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, D. D., presiding elder of the Denver District, is to be congratulated upon his foresight in assembling these conventions in conjunction with the District Conference. We had three days of literary feasting. The beauty of it was the changing of the program so often. Every morning we had the District Conference proper. The first afternoon and night the A. C. E. League, the second afternoon and night the Sunday School, and the third afternoon and night the Woman's Mite Missionary Society.
The Allen Christian Endeavor League elected the following officers for this year: Mrs. J. W. Holmes district president, 1745 Pearl street, Boulder, Colo.; Miss Thistle, secretary, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Rev. W. C. Williams, treasurer, 1223 Twenty-third street, Denver, Colo.
The Woman's Mite Missionary Society elected the following as their officers: Mrs. A. M. Ward, 119 23rd street, Denver, Colo., district president; Mrs. M. E. Carter, Colorado Springs, secretary, and Mrs. Effle Waldon, Denver, Colo., corresponding secretary.
Thus closes one of the most pleasant conferences ever held on the Denver District.

CLOSED THE SEASON.
Cole and Johnson, in the Red Moon closed last week in Washington, D. C., after a long run of 40 weeks of big success. S. H. Dudley, in Smart Set, closed last week in Newark, N. J., after a very successful season of 38 weeks. He is going to Chicago, where he will rehearse a new minstrel for the coming season.
CHEYEINE, WYOMING.
Mrs. Phillips, the mother of Mrs. Chas. Lucas, has been quite ill. She is at this writing much improved and able to be out again.
Word was received a short time ago of the death of Jasmine, the baby of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Gray of Oakland, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Gray are doubly bereaved, having just buried their 7-year-old son, Ernest, a few weeks before the death of their little daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have the sympathy of their many friends here.
Joy and gloom walk hand in hand. Mrs. Rose Landor Price, for many years a resident of Cheyenne was quietly married last month in Oakland, Cal., to a Mr. Green of that city. Mrs. Price Green has many friends in this city who wish her every happiness in her new life.
Mr. Ollie Brown, who has been spending a few weeks at the home of his parents in Blanchard, Iowa, has returned, much improved in health, and has resumed his work at the Inter-Ocean Hotel.
Little Ella Turner, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Turner, was taken east by her sister, Miss Katheryn Turner, for the benefit of her health. The little one is a sufferer from heart rouble, caused by the height of the altitude of Cheyenne.
Mrs. Lottie Wiseman, of Seattle, Wash., a former resident of this city, passed through Monday morning en route to Denver, Colo., to attend at the bedside of a brother, who is very ill. The few hours spent by Mrs. Wiseman in our city were made pleasant by Mrs. James Smith, at whose house she was a guest. It is hoped that Mrs. Wiseman will be enabled to spend more time with her many friends here on her return trip.
It is with regret that we report that the Ninth Cavalry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russel may be moved early in the fall to Honolulu, H. I. While nothing officially has been announced, a few placed in a position to know have given out that impression. Their removal will take from us Captain and Mrs. Proilean, Captain and Mrs. Young, Sergeant and Mrs. Plum Banks, Sergeant and Mrs. Thrower, Professor and Mrs. Hammond, and many others who have added much to the social activities of Cheyenne.
All those attending the District Conference, Sunday School, Christian Endeavor and Missionary Convention, held in Denver last week, report a delightful time. The church was very ably represented by our pastor, Rev. Washington. Mrs. E. F. Landor presided over the Sunday School Convention. Miss S. Katheryn Thistle was a delegate to the S. S. Convention and made a very creditable represent-

ative; she was elected District Secretary of the Christian Endeavor League. Miss Pearson represented the local M. M. Society and made a fine report. Mr. Nolle Smith made a favorable impression as a delegate to the C. E. Convention. All mentioned are loud in their praises of the delightful hospitality accorded them while guests in beautiful Denver, and special thanks are tendered Rev. and Mrs. Ward, in whose church the conventions were held.
Mrs. Ida Young, the wife of Captain Young, and Mrs. Henry, of Oakland, Cal., were the guests of honor at a luncheon given by Mrs. James Smith recently in her pretty home. The table was exceptionally beautiful. The snowiest of satin damask napery, glimmering silver, sparkling cut glass and roses in profusion, made it a most attractive sight to the eye. Mrs. Smith's culinary abilities have many times been attested, but it seems that each occasion for her display of her enviable art proves more alluring than the last. The menu was sufficient in every detail and even criticisms of a connoisseur would prove of a favorable nature. Those invited to meet the distinguished guests were Mesdames Plum Banks, Jesse Thrower, T. W. Ashford, E. F. Landor and Miss S. Katheryn Thistle. Mrs. Henry of California, one of the honor guests so royally entertained by Mrs. Smith, has the distinction of being one of the two women of our race invited to meet the white California Federation of Woman's Clubs. She is a delightful woman to meet and Mrs. Smith's many friends are grateful to her for the privilege afforded them. Mrs. Young needs no introduction, having on several occasions taken pleasure in entertaining the many friends she has won since making her home amogn us.
The two-day fair given by the Woman's Mite Missionary Society and the Young Ladies' Art Club was a decided success from every standpoint and in every particular. Mrs. Washington, under whose efficient management the affair was conducted, is deserving of great credit for the success of her untiring labors. She was ably assisted by Miss Pearson, Mrs. Bowler, Mrs. Kellan, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Venable and Mrs. Harris of the Mite Missionary Society and by the entire club composed of the young ladies. Rev. Washington decorated the booths in his artistic and pleasing manner many pleasing comments being made concerning their beautiful appearance. The Ninth Cavalry Orchestra rendered a delightful program the first night of the fair, which was much enjoyed, for the second and last night the two societies mentioned assembled in The Old Maids' Convention, where, to a large and appreciative audience, the subject of "May" was favorably discussed. There was only one in the Convention of Twenty Old Maids" who had

GREAT AGITATOR AND POLITICIAN
HARD OPPONENT TO DEFEAT.
Part Which Individual Effort Plays In Great World Movements as Seen In the Triumphs of War and In the Reign of Peace Exemplified In His Eventful Life.
History records no greater achievements than those which have grown out of individual effort. The triumphs of war, the successful reign of peace, great reformations and commercial expansions have all resulted from individual effort. The abolition of human slavery in the United States is due to individual effort. No great achievement, either in nation, church or state, has come about of itself.
Among the many great men of the Negro race through whose individual efforts the race has been helped forward is J. R. Clifford, the venerable editor of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Mr. Clifford, who is now more than sixty years of age, was the first man of our race to be admitted to the practice of law in the state of West Virginia.
He has owned and edited the Pioneer Press for more than twenty-eight years. It is perhaps the oldest Negro newspaper in the United States. Both in law and in politics Mr. Clifford is a hard contestant to defeat. His knowledge of the law and his experience as a politician have more than once been brought to bear with telling effect in behalf of our people.
It was through Mr. Clifford's efforts that General W. H. H. Flick was defeated for congress in 1886. General Flick ran against William L. Wilson. Mr. Clifford's antagonism to Flick was due, it is said, to the fact that he was the cause of Clifford not being elected as delegate to the national Republican convention which nominated James G. Blaine.
The credit of impaneling the first Negro jury in West Virginia belongs to Mr. Clifford. It was in 1897. For this brave act he was knocked down three times in a court of justice. The blood from wounds caused by the successive falls filled his shoes, and he was removed from the courtroom amid great confusion.
In the campaign of 1898 he canvassed Berkeley county against U. S. Pitzer, who was defeated by 1,300 votes. All through the campaign he carried a piece of his bloody shirt as a souvenir of his late court tragedy. The day before the election in November, 1898, he spoke to thousands of voters in the public square at Martinsburg with the bloody shirt in hand.
On Jan. 24 of this year he was arrested and put in jail for defending a client in court. During the hour and twenty-nine minutes of his jail sentence his client was tried and sent to jail. As soon as Mr. Clifford was released from jail he secured the release of his client. He then preferred charges against
THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.
JOHN H. HARRIS
United States Commissioner T. T. Lemon and United States Marshal W. D. Brown, with the result that the department of justice dismissed Commissioner Lemon. It is now rumored that Marshal W. D. Brown is booked to be retired for the same cause. Mr. Clifford has had many similar experiences in civic life in his efforts to see that justice be given to those who intrust their causes to him. He is brave and fearless and does not believe in compromising with wrongdoers.
During his many years in public life Mr. Clifford has always been found or the right side of all questions and movements having for their object the advancement of the race. These latter years of his useful and eventful life have been and are still crowded with many weighty matters touching the manhood rights of the Negro according to the constitution.
Thus is given here a birdseye view of one of the "old guard" of a long list of capable men who came up through reconstruction days well qualified as a lawyer, conservative as an editor, powerful as a politician, a great agitator and an influential citizen.

I. G. A. HAS BIG MEETING.
At Scott’s M. E. church Sunday the

important meetings yet had this year.
A large committee for the entertain-
ment of the new graduates was ap-
pointed, a printing committee and al-
sO a program and arrangement com-
mittee was authorized to do their
work. Attorney George G. Ross was
appointed chairman of the member-
ship committee by Miss Viola Lyons
acting president. Never was so much
enthusiasm and interest ever dis-
played by the eager members who
pledged to make this the grandest,
jolliest and most congenial affair in
the annals of the I. G. A. The assess-
ment for everything was made as low
as 50 cents per person, which will in-
clude the collation. June 21st was set
for the night of event of the school
year.
It has been suggested by the various
school and college alumni that each
body organize and be present at the
I. G. A. collation. Howard University
led last time.
Any person holding a diploma from
university, college, academy, indus-
trial and musical school of learning,
recognized among the standards, is
eligible to belong to the I. G. A. upon
payment of 25 cents initiation fee.
Lawyer George G. Ross is chairman
ot the membership committee and will
take care of all applicants. See him

INTERESTING BALL GAME.
Played by Government Officials and Prominent Educators at Washington. Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon pitched and Auditor for the Navy R. W. Tyler caught the first inning of a novel game of baseball that was played on the Howard university campus at Washington recently for the benefit of the $15,000 Y. M. C. A. campaign that is just drawing to a close. The prominence of the players brought out the "flower and chivalry" of the nation's capital to witness the game between the Mutts and the Muffs.
Some of the other players and participants were as follows: Referees, Professor Kelly Miller and Professor George W. Cook; Judge R. H. Terrill, Assistant District Attorney J. A. Cobb, Professor W. Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Manual Training school; Professor E. C. Williams, principal of M Street high school; Professor John T. Layton, director of music in the colored schools; Dr. E. D. Williston, Professor W. V. Tunnell of Howard university faculty, Lawyer T. J. Calloway, Dr. W. L. Board, Mr. Robert A. Pelham, Mr. Charles Hall of the census office and Mr. Garnet Wilkinson of the M Street high school.
The score keepers were: Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Lieutenant T. H. R. Clarke, Messrs. Charles Pickett, Z. P. Moore, R. L. Pendleton, John P. Atkinson, G. L. Sydnor and Nathan Bell. The game and the incidents surrounding it were amusing, but evinced the enthusiasm that is shown by all in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. Prominent young ladies and young men were vending candies, chewing gum, peanuts, popcorn and other delicacies to swell the Y. M. C. A. fund.
The spirit of the occasion was caught by all Washington. The grounds were well filled, the vendors all sold out, and the Y. M. A. fund felt a perceptible increase.

CAMPBELL CHAPEL NOTES.
Sunday, May 22, was a day that will
long live in the memory of the mem-
bers and friends of Campbell. It was
a beautiful day, the sun rose in its
beauty and splendor with a clear sky
for its pathway, and made happy the
hearts that were made sad by the dis-
couraging loks of the day before. At
11 o'clock a. m. Rt. Rev. Bishop A.
Grant, D. D., the hero of many a bat
tle, filled the stand for the Lord. Ue
out-preached himself, carried his
hearers with him to a land where the
shadows and sorrows of this world
cannot come, set them down on the
banks of the river in the Land of
Promise and left them there shout-
ing “God, the Glory.” One young
lady was happily converted and unit-
ed with the church with eight others
At 3 p. m. Dr. Randolph filled th
stand and we think that he preachvd
the sermon of his life. He simply
electrified his audience. Bishop Grart
said that he did not know that Dr.
Randolph was such a preacher, and
said that a man that could preach as
he did ought to be actively engage!
in the work of his Master. At §&
p. m. Rev. L. B. Banks occupied the
stand and preached to his hearers as
he has never done before in this city,
He put on the finishing touch to one
of the happiest days of Campbell
Chapel. Twelve persons united wih
the church during the day Each
service during the day was crowded;
$845 was laid on the tables by the
faithful members and friends, While
all the members did not respond, but
a large number who were not pre-
pared will come up with their Sun-
day, June 5, which will be the final
day of the rally. We wish to thank
our many friends for their support in
this rally. The Juvenile choir with
their new robes sang as they never
sang before. You should hear them

Monday, from 10:30 to 12:30, Mrs.
Alice M. Thomas, one of Campbell
members, treated Bishop Grant, Rev
Ward and Rev. Williams and wife to
an auto drive through the city, and
wound up at the Union Station with
the bishop, who took his departure
for his home, declaring that his week's
stay in the city had been the happiest
he had ever spent in Denver, and the
auto ride the most enjoyable one he
ever took jn the West. Mrs. Ward
was invited to accompany us on the
ride, but was not able to stand the
trip. We were very sorry of this.

Prominent Physicians Appear Before Senate Judiciary Committee at Albany In Advocacy of It.
The prospect of establishing the Provident hospital in Brooklyn is very favorable. The movement was started about fifteen months ago by prominent medical physicians, dentists and trained nurses. Through the energy of the promoters a bill is now before the senate judiciary committee at Albany favoring the project.
In order to show their earnestness and to explain the view of such an institution for Afro-Americans in Brooklyn a delegation of prominent citizens recently visited the capital and appeared before the senate judiciary committee to urge the passage of the pending measure.
The delegation consisted of George E. Wibecan, Jr.; Drs. Roland R. Johnson, Owen M. Waller, James G. Trimble, Walter N. Beekman and Attorney D. Macon Webster. Dr. William L. Hunter is also one of the promoters of the proposed enterprise.

We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO" TRADE MARK (Registered)
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 was 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.

A resolution was unanimously adopted against the report of the Brownsville board, thanking Senator Foraker, Attorney Daggett and N. B. Marshall for their good work in behalf of the discharged soldiers. The resolution calls for a bill in congress to reinstate the discharged soldiers.
Mr. Minkins discussed "Miscegenation and the Fight for Race Purity," treating the subject broadly and answering especially magazine articles that have appeared recently on the subject. He declared that the American Negro was the victim, not the enemy, of the white man. He declared that the "Negro problem," the problem of miscegenation, was the white man's problem, the Negro being the clay and the nation the potter; that as the hybridization process began under slavery and continued for 240 years it was not difficult to place the blame for the original attacks upon racial purity, as in 1790 there were hardly any mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons, while in 1890, 100 years later, the black had increased but 400 per cent and the mixed Negroes so much that it was impossible to approximate it mathematically. After pointing out that hardly two southern states prohibit white intermarriage with a person who has some Negro blood, he said: "Few indeed of the states flatly prohibit intermarriage of the races, as they would do were their legislators genuinely in earnest in their abhorrence of Negro blood. If they had the courage of their convictions they would bar one drop of Negro blood. They leave us instead to infer that they believe there is a point at which intermixture of Negro and white blood is beneficial or they have other, to them, good and sufficient reasons for compromising and deciding to lower the legal bar sinister, such, for instance, as South Carolina had when she desired to protect some of the leading white families who were known to be 'tainted.'"
He said the Negro need have no objection to absolutely prohibitive laws against miscegenation, as they would

white, from which to choose, adding, "The range is wide enough and attractive enough to satisfy the most adventurous and exacting among us." He was not disposed to be disturbed by legitimate miscegenation and its ultimate effects, as they would take care of themselves as they had done ever since the present European Caucasian races sprang from the Negro's ancestors, the Euro-Africans.
He asserted emphatically that the mulatto had increased faster than either white or black from 1850 to 1890, the increase being 92 per cent, the black increase 65 per cent and the white increase, excluding about 13.000.000 immigrants, only 52 per cent. He accounted for the larger proportionate number of mulattoes in the north by immigration of mulattoes from the south, by intermarriage and by the counting of many octoroons at the south as white and asserted that more than 81 per cent of all the mixed Negroes in the country are in the south, where there is no intermarriage, the proportion to the whites in South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi being larger than it bears to the Negro popu-
Church of Industrious Members. The pastor and members of the Bethesda Baptist church, New Rochelle, N. Y., have planned to raise $2,000 on the occasion of the twenty-second anniversary of the organization of the church July 10. In order to accomplish their object twenty clubs have been organized to raise $100 each. The occasion promises to be very interesting, as each club is endeavoring to outstrip the other in the amount which it is to raise. Many prominent citizens of the town will also aid the movement.
Rev. Dr. Stinson's Work Commended. It is very encouraging to note the success with which the Rev. Dr. Richard D. Stinson is meeting in his efforts to raise funds with which to reect the necessary buildings for the work of Morris Brown college. In a recent address at Orange, N. J., Dr. Stinson said that since the establishment of the college at Atlanta, Ga., in 1881, 16,317 young men and women have gone from it well prepared for life's duties. Dr. Stinson is doing a commendable educational work for the

THE LATEST BUSINESS VENTURE
Fifteen enterprising citizens have banded themselves together to give to the people of this community and gradually widening until the whole nation is served the advantages of sick and accident insurance the same as is now given by the casualty companies of wide reputation. These men have been meeting for the last three months and Wednesday night they perfected a permanent organization with T. S. Rector as president and V. B. Walker as secretary. The value of such insurance has been proven by the experience of a majority of people, and the strong financial backing which the Afro-American Sick and Accident Benefit Association will have will assure its members the absolute fulfillment of the letter of their membership conditions so far as the association is concerned. The Statesman will have more to say from time to time of this association, and on the personality of its incorporators, it recommends it to the good graces of the public. A. A. Waller will be treasurer; George G. Ross, general counsel; J. H. Morris and C. M. Hughes, auditors; H. J. M. Brown, vice-president.
TOWNSEND WON ARGUMENT.
For the last time before finally joining issues in the case of the Auditorium wherein Ross was plaintiff and Van Dugteren & Barnes were defendants, Lawyer W. B. Townsend won a spirited argument Tuesday morning before Judge John R. Dixon. The contention was over some legal points involved in the procedure of the case of which Mr. Townsend clearly showed himself easily the master of the situation. The next step will be the trial after a fight over the pleadings since the 11th day of September last. The other theater case will not be appealed to the Supreme court, McClain's attorneys have been advised. The Curtis theater is now in the hands of the mortgagee and is closed.
At the Five Points Hotel dinner service will begin June 5 and last from 12 to 3 p. m.
There are to be several odd features about the K. of P. Odd Ball to be given at East Turner Hall June 8. Prizes will be given to the persons lucky enough to come at certain intervals, for instance, and the price of admission marked down to 49 cents. In addition there will be all the good things usually found at the Knights' entertainments.
ALLIANCE HAS EXCELLENT PROGRAM.
"Christian Citizenship" was the subject discussed by Rev. J. N. Wallace, pastor of Scott M. E. church, Sunday afternoon before the People's Sunday Alliance. A crowded house greeted the Rev. and judging from

the discussion by the members which followed the reading of the paper, the keenest interest and enthusiasm was present and dominant. The Rev. clearly showed he was a man of his convictions, that he did not tolerate a truckler, an apologist, submissionist or a race traitor. He was warmly applauded and given an oration at the close. Sunday was a great day at the People's Sunday Alliance.
REV. BECKHAM
REMEMBERED
Mrs. Clara Mayes, of 2117 Welton street, gave a reception in honor of Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Beckham and their mother, Mrs. Sarah Stokes. After dainty and toothsome refreshments had been served the hostess presented Mrs. Stokes with a box of drawn work handkerchiefs and a daintily embroidered collar, and to Mrs. Beckham she presented an elaborately hand embroidered handkerchief.
A number of friends presented to Rev. Beckham a purse of money and to Mrs. Beckham a hand-painted plate. A most enjoyable time was had by those present. The guests were Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Beckham and Mrs. Stokes, the guests of honor, Mesdames Hubbard, Page, Dean, Gibson, Peoples, Jackson, Anderson, Carew; Misses Tyler, Young and the three Misses Helms; Messrs. Harris, Barr, Forte, Jackson and Helms.
Mrs. D. F. Webster, or 2641 Lawrence street, gave an elaborate birthday dinner to Rev. Beckham on Tuesday, May 24th. Rev. Beckham and family have been given many tokens of remembrance by their numerous friends. Among the presents received were: Japanese vase, Mrs. D. F. Webster; Havilland china cup and saucer, Mrs. M. Jacobs; cut glass bowl and one dozen fine linen handkerchiefs, Mrs. S. Peoples; bird and cage, Mrs. Kitchens; embroidered handkerchief, Mrs. E. Kelly; handmade collar, white silk necktie and glass water pitcher, Mrs. Hubbard; beautiful gold embossed brooch, jeweled back comb and fine hose, Miss N. Tyler; lunch for Mrs. Beckham and mother while enroute to Spokane, Mrs. S. Peoples, Mrs. C. Mays, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Webster, Mrs. Shaffer, Mrs. Hubbard and Mr. Carris.
Dr. Justina Ford gave a dinner in honor of Rev. J. B. Beckham and family on Saturday. Guests present were Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Over, Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Beckham and mother, Mrs. Stokes, and Miss Carter. It will be remembered that through the untiring efforts and skill of Dr. Ford, Mrs. Beckham was restored to health after her case had become hopeless. Mrs. Nellie Washington, of 250 Pearl street, gave a dinner in honor of Rev. Beckham and family on Saturday. On Sunday Mrs. M. Jacob, 2832 Welton street, also served a dinner in honor of Rev. Beckham and family.
Mrs. J. B. Beckham and mother, Mrs. Stokes, left Wednesday evening for Spokane, Wash.
SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE

54 COLORED THEATERS IN THE UNITED STATES.
There are 54 colored theaters and more going up, and if Denver don't have one in a few weeks we will all be greatly surprised. And with the population of Denver colored a good colored theater should be well supported. Watch for this next week and I will tell you if we are to have a theater or not.
Is in Rock Springs, doing some fine training. Gans says he is going to get his man on the 30th or bust. He is not going to fight Schools, but will fight the Bat. Dane, who is as tough as they make them. Gans will have no easy task beating this man and will certainly have to know his business when they enter the ring. Good luck to Young Gans of Denver.
Almost every prize fighter in the East is on his way or will soon start for the coast. Some to see the big fighters and some are going with challenges. Those who are certain to take the trip are Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Abe Attell, Willie Lewis, Stanley Ketchel, Johnny Coulson Jem Driscoll, Jim Stewart, Battling Nelson, Ad Wolgast and Al Kaufman. The coast will be nothing but fight.
OLD JOE GANS VERY ILL
Joe Gans, former lightweight champion of the world passed through Kansas City the other day on his way to Arizona. Gans is fast falling and will have to stay at least two or three years if he ever intends to get well.
COKER AND SNOWDEN BOX TO NIGHT.
Kid Coker and Kid Snowden will box six rounds at the R. M. A. Club tonight. Both boys are in fine shape for a good sparring bout, and they will likely please all of their friends with the manly way they will spar. Nothing rough, but everything clever. They enter the ring at 8:30, with Henry Banks as referee.
The famous colored soprano singer, was given a large reception by four of the D. A. C. boys: John Carney, Jesse Williams, Chas. Hall and Leon Pryor at the home of Spencer Durns last Saturday night. Miss Michell is one of the cutest litle entertainers on the American stage and closes a 25-week contract next week in Chicago. Then she will leave for her home in New York City to study another year at vocalizing. Miss Michell has a great voice and will some day be the greatest colored singer in the world. And she is the only colored woman on the American vaudeville stage who does exclusive solo work and her work is in great demand and all of the big vaudeville managers are ready to book her any time she accepts. On the whole Miss Michell is a very clever and brilliant woman and makes friends everywhere she goes. She was entertained quite extensively during her stay in Dnver last week at the Majestic Theater and was well pleased with the city and people of Denver and she will be ever welcome to our city as she is the woman who does things.

Eliminate Unnecessary Requirements and Go It Single Handed.
In some sections of this great land of ours some things are done by this race of ours from born industrial instincts, pride and principle, says Editor James H. Anderson of the New Amsterdam News, New York city. But New York city life transforms the thrifty monarch. Here you must entertain, wine and dine them or neither crowd nor success will attend your efforts.
Now, Brother Anderson, the good book tells us that "wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Neither the crowd nor wine is essential to success. Therefore eliminate both and go it single handed.
The Chicago Leland Giants are certainly playing some base ball this season. Rube Foster says they will win the pennant in a walk and is out with a bet of $500 to $3,000 that they can beat any team in the world, white or black. Well, you know Rube is some more pitcher.

cause and courage to express her disapproval, which was done amid the jeers and indignant protests of the other members of the convention. This character of Mary Ann was portrayed by Mrs. Landor. Mrs. Washington was all that could be desired as the president of the Association, and her excellent rulings over such an august body—"Old Maids"—brought forth many admirable comments in regard to both her real executive ability and her qualifications along a histrionic line. The Misses Lillian Jefferson and Lena Hopkins were fine in their respective parts, that of secretary and treasurer of the convention, and their expressive actions were as intended, very amusing. It is useless to attempt to describe the various and varied costumes worn by the old maids. Imagine, if you can, twenty young colored women who on ordinary occasions appear very tastefully and well dressed, arrayed in garments worn a quarter of a century ago, and you have a fair idea of the impression created by Cheyenne's elite who composed the "Old Maids" of the convention. A prize could have been given Mrs. James Smith, Mrs. Sue Bowler, Mrs. Jesse Thrower, Mrs. Plum Banks and Mrs. Washington, who, among the matrons, presented the most realistic appearance. The Misses Katheryn Turner, Lucie Smith, Ruth Robinson, Eunice Ashford and Minnie Caves were among the young ladies who attracted attention by their stunningly "old-maidish" costumes. Wm. Ashford, Jr., as Prof. Make-Over, was desirable in every way, and his work was finished, and his make-overs models of grace and beauty. Miss Minnie Caves, one of the made-overs, was particularly pleasing in her vocal rendition. Miss Hopkins' sweet voice was heard to advantage in Vannah's "Goodby, Sweet Day." Mrs. Jesse Thrower pleased with a recitation. Mrs. Plum Banks was gracefully dainty and captivating in her rendition and her recitation was thoroughly enjoyed. Was the Old Maids' Convention a success? It is the consensus of opinion that it was.

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE NEGRO TOWNSITE AND LAND COMPANY.
A splendid foundation has been laid by the Negro Townsite & Land Company, for the building up of the many business enterprises which its incorporation covers.
It is quite necessary that each stockholder should be represented in person, or by proxy, at the annual meeting June 4, 1910, to elect nine directors, from the sixty stockholders, to manage the affairs of the company for the next year. Whether you have paid all of your subscription or not you have a vote for each share that you have contracted for. The present directors cannot agree on any line of action to apply the money already paid in to any feature of the incor-
poration. It is up to the stockholders to elect a board of nine directors that will get together and carry out the project and purpose which the stockholders have paid in their money for Each stockholder has a right to examine the books of the company and if they cannot do it themselves they can appoint a representative, and if there is any irregularity or graft or false intentions on the part of the directors, the laws of Colorado fix a penalty for each officer, or the entire board. After the election, June 7, if no one else demands a sworn statement of the officers, I will, as I desire that each stockholder shall know under oath just how the affairs of the company have been handled during my administration. Many times stockholders in companies get to hollering "stop thief" and they find that the thief is in the chase. If stockholders would take a little time to read the incorporation laws of Colorado, they would find them very simple and in the interest of the stockholders. The directors are only the servants of the stockholders and the stockholders can dictate the management of the company at any time during the term of the board of directors, if they are not satisfied with the course they are pursuing. The president and treasurer of your present board are at lager-heads and cannot be of any service to the stockholders, and it is your duty to remove either, or both, so that your money shall be put in action for returns. I am not a candidate for any place, but will present a list of names of stockholders at the annual meeting whom I think are capable of carrying out the object and purposes of the company. The present board is inactive and incapable of success. It rests now with the sixty stockholders to elect men or women who will carry out your desires regardless of their personal interests.
About 1,000 shares of stock have been sold; more than 50 per cent. paid in. There is a cash balance on hand of about $320.00, after paying all expenses since incorporating. This showing, considering all the opposition and lack of experience of the majority of the directors in doing commercial business according to law, is a good one and should be encouraged. Each stockholder should be represented at the annual meeting and shoulder his proportion of responsibility for the future of the Negro Townsite and Land Company by casting his vote for progressive directors.
