THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR MU-SO-LIT CLUB DINES NOTED MEN Red Letter Night For Popular Social Organization. MUSIC AND ORATORY GALORE Clarence Cameron White Charms Brilliant Audience With the Violin. While Cole and Johnson Expatiate on the Future of the Negro on the Stage and In the World of Music. The May meeting of the Mu-So-Lit club, the most representative club in Washington, was one of the liveliest and most interesting meetings in the history of the club. The guests of honor were Clarence Cameron White, the noted violinist, who recently returned from a two years' course of study abroad, and Messrs. Cole and Johnson, leading men in the "Red Moon" company. Other guests from the "Red Moon" company were Professor H. Lawrence Freeman, the musical director; H. Arthur Talbot, elocutionist, and Messrs. Frank Fowler Brown and S. Lucas, vocal soloists. Sam Crocker, manager of the company, gave a brief address. Mr. White rendered two selections on the violin, which charmed his audience beyond expression. A musical critic of much ability has described Mr. White's playing as follows: "Clarence White's playing gave very clear evidence of serious and faithful study during his two seasons abroad. "His tone is much clearer and more beautiful, and his technique is broader and more sufficient." Mr. White has a delightful presence, and his playing is no less charming. Robert Cole, known throughout theatrical circles as Bob Cole, gave an interesting and instructive talk on "The Future of the Negro on the Stage." Mr. Cole went into the philosophy of the play and the history of the stage and showed clearly that he is a master of the drama in all of its varied sides. His reminiscences were full of interest, and the personal contact that he has had with leading dramatists and dramatic critics shows that he is a factor in the theatrical world. J. Rosamond Johnson gave a talk of rare merit on "The Negro in the World of Music." His talk showed that he is also a man who has given deep thought and hard study to music. His talk on what is commonly known as "Negro music" was one of the most interesting ever listened to by the club. He rendered two of his own compositions—a vocal solo, "Ll'l Gal," and an instrumental solo, an Indian dance. Frank Fowler Brown rendered a vocal solo, and Professor Frieman gave one of his own compositions. After the musical and literary part of the evening the guests and members of the club repaired to the spacious dining room of Martin's cafe, where a midnight luncheon was served. The president of the club, Dr. A. M. Curtis, and the chairman of the executive committee, Judge R. H. Terrell, were congratulated for arranging for such an interesting and enjoyable evening. WHERE THE MONEY GOES. Secret Societies Furnish Working Capital For Business Institutions. Secret organizations of large means should not be satisfied with simply fulfilling their ritualistic obligations. Instead of boarding up money with which to pay sick dues and death claims they should use some of their money for the purpose of making larger revenue. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid annually by Negro institutions in rents. Similar amounts are put into banks and trust companies for safe keeping. Only a small per cent is paid by these institutions which use our people's money as a working capital with which to run their business. It is indeed time to call a halt on such a course. We should build halls for ourselves. The right kind of a building would pay for itself in rental within a few years if properly managed. Business Concern Gives Banquet. The banquet which was given by the Douglass Loan and Investment company at Writt's catering establishment, Pittsburg, on Thursday evening. May 20, was a magnificent affair. The officers of the company are H. Anderson, president; Dr. G. G. Tursley, vice president; Attorney W. H. Stauton, secretary, and Captain C. W. Posey, treasurer. More About the Discharged Soldiers. The Cleveland (O.) Gazette says, "Our people the country over ought to protest at once to their national senators and representatives against the gross injustice of the report of the Brownsville court of inquiry in refusing to re-enlist all but fourteen soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry while admitting that it found no soldier guilty."

In loving memory of our dear father and grandfather, Mr. Amos Marshall who died six years ago—the 23rd day of April, 1905. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love has given, And though the body molders here The soul is safe in Heaven. MRS. E. GEHM, MISS J.

All doing well. Sergt. and Mrs. Jesse Thrower are now cosily domiciled at the artillery mess at Ft. Russell. Mrs. Plum Banks, who has been quite ill, is rapidly improving and hopes to soon be among her friends again. Wayne Gaskin reports having spent a few pleasant days in Denver last week. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Hamler of Grand Island, Neb., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins. Mrs. Hamler is Mrs. Hopkins' sister. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hamler welcome them in their midst again. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Lillian, and by Miss S. Katheryn Thistle, left Tuesday for Kansas City, where they will visit for a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker are among our most progressive young people. Within the last year they have bought and paid for a beautiful home, and have erected on one of their vacant lots a neat cottage for rent. Rev. Washington Entertains Delightfully. A few evenings ago, in honor of the Ninth Cavalry Band, the members of that organization, the church and the friends of both the band and the church were bidden to the church to show in a small measure the high appreciation in which the services of the Ninth Cavalry Band are held. An address of welcome was tendered by E. F. Landor. Prof. Hammond, the band's director, responded in a happy manner. Nolle Smith sang beautifully, Paul Dresser's "Curse." Mrs. Landor sang a selection, Mr. Jefferson pleased with one of his delightful songs of the sea. A song by the young girls closed the program. Ice creams delicious and cake in abundance was served to the large crowd who responded to Rev. Washington's cordial invitation. Prof. Hammond took his departure for the East the next morning. Item in the one pertaining to the Mothers' Day program sent you too late for publication last week: A recitation, "Rock Me To Sleep Mother," was delightfully rendered by Mrs. Plum Banks. Undoubtedly unintentional was the meagre mention by the appointed reporter of the Sunday School convention held in Denver, May 19. The proceedings of the convention were presided over by Mrs. E. F. Landor, the district superintendent of Sunday schools. Bishop Grant in his pleasing address to this body, spoke favorably of the work of the presiding officer and of the paper read by Miss Thistle, who represented the Sunday school from this place. It seems that natural modesty forbade the reporter mentioning the most excellent sermon delivered by himself to the members of the Sunday School convention, the impression created by the delivery of the most unusual discourse will be lasting and the seed sown will bring forth a harvest abundant. Rev. Holmes is to be congratulated for the success of his effort. Rev. Washington was pleasing in his address to the Women's Mite Missionary Society the evening of May 19. His subject, "Light and Life," was handled in a scholarly manner THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. and his spiritual applications were fitting and effectively delivered. The delegates and representatives from Cheyenne, Rev. Washington, Mrs. Landor, Miss Pierson, Miss Thistle and Mr. Nolle Smith, are appreciative for the charming hospitality shown them while guests of the cordial people of Denver and again thank them through the medium of the Statesman. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Success comes to him who works and waits. The five captains who worked so faithfully on the membership rally are to be congratulated for their sterling qualities. They worked faithfully and were rewarded with success. The rally was successful from every point of view. Of course all of the members did not give, and they never do, but it was not because Messrs. F. D. McPherson, Fred Brown, Eli Burrell, C. J. Collier and G. W. Anderson did not ask them to give. Mrs. James Miller of Seattle, Wash., is in the city for a short stay. Mrs. Lou Hill, who recently came from Muskogee, Okla., has gone to Golden, Colo., where she has accepted of a very lucrative position. Mrs. Frances E. Williams is very faithful to her church. She comes from Golden nearly every Sunday to attend the services. She filled two soliciting cards for the rally. The Epworth League will give a free banquet on the occasion of their semi-annual election next Tuesday evening. It will be given in the spacious parsonage. Mrs. Anna Bobo is very anxious to have the young people give more of their time to social and religious work of the church. Master Thomas W. Wallace took the collection for the Pastor's Club last Sunday. Sunday will be a high day at Scott's. Rev. J. J. Cabbell will be nere to hold the first quarterly conference. Preaching and class in the morning, Communion, Brotherhood, Epworth League in the afternoon and the evening preaching will wind up a very strenuous day. Four members of the church who have been neglecting the means of grace will have charges preferred against them for the offense. They will be excluded from the church if they do not attend and show cause why their names should not be dropped from the membership roll. Mrs. Dora E. Wallace, president of the Ladies' Aid, desires to have all donations for the summer fair reported as soon as possible. Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale, District Steward, will be glad to see all members and friends at her residence tonight at a social given for her work. Refreshments that are very appetizing will be served for a very small sum. Mr. G. W. Anderson, superintendent of the Sunday School, is preparing to have the young people's Children's Day program in the afternoon of June 19th. Do not fail to hear the Rev. J. D. Rice deliver a sermon on "Education" on that occasion. Mrs. Edna Collier left last Thursday for Centralia, Mo., where she will visit her parents and relatives. She will be gone three weeks. --- HEADQUARTERS FOR BUILDING LABORERS DENVER, COLORADO --- --- The Allen In G. A. ALL We Loan Money on When in need of money see G.

The Colored Realty company has recently been organized and incorporated at New Orleans with T. P. Patterson as president and J. J. Jefferson as secretary. The company has a membership of 300 and will be operated upon the co-operative plan. The movement grew out of the desire of its members to get away from crowded city life. The company has already purchased 1,200 acres of rich yellow pine timberland in Pearl River county, Miss. The headquarters of the company will be at Purvis, Miss., where the first buildings will be erected. Brick manufacturing will be one of the first industries to be started. The land is rich in timber and splendid for farming purposes. We wish the new enterprise abundant success. It is a move in the right direction, as co-operation is much needed among us. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "I" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING.

Y., of which Editor Sumner H. Lark is leader, is growing not only in numbers, but in favor with a large element of Afro-American voters in the county. Before Mr. Lark took the initiative, about two years ago, one could count Afro-American adherents to that party in Brooklyn upon the fingers of his hand and have several fingers to spare. We have no fight with this wise son of Howard university, for we know him to be a sincere man, who has the best interest of the race at heart in the great fight which he is making for a square deal in the politics of the nation. --- THE WILLIAMSON HAFFNER CO.

Friends of Attorney Steward will make a determined fight to get out the full Afro-American vote. The campaign promises to be one of the most interesting and hotly contested for many years.

Moseley, treasurer of the church, who in a brief statement said that the last dollar which the church owed on the property had been paid and that this was the last mortgage. The master of ceremonies in turn presented the mortgage to Mrs. Isabella Brown, the oldest living member of the church in point of membership. Mrs. Brown was accompanied by Mrs. Elsie Sweeney, Mrs. Nancy La Motte and Miss Hester S. Mangin, the next in rank of membership. These four members were surrounded on the pulpit by the deacon board. The mortgage papers were placed in a wire basket which rested upon a tray which was held aloft by the four members and was lit by Mrs. Brown. The trustees' annual report as presented by Secretary Graham H. Carter showed receipts for the fiscal year of $8,656.50. Of this sum $1,385.17 was given for charitable purposes. The Sunday school contributed $626.50. After defraying all expenses the school has a surplus of $206.82. Personality of the Hon. J. B. Foraker. Hon. Joseph B.

Congregation Which Started In Little Frame Dwelling House Forty-seven Years Ago Burns Mortgage on Edifice Valued at $47,000—Large Financial Obligation Finally Settled. The annual reunion of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn was one of the many highly interesting events which occurred during the week ending May 21. The auditorium of the church was crowded far beyond its seating capacity. Aside from the usual features of the reunion, the great attraction on this occasion was the burning of the mortgage. The church was organized in 1847 with but few members. It began in a little frame dwelling house on Concord street. The Rev. Samson White, long since deceased, was its first pastor. As our people came up from the south in large numbers the congregation and membership grew in like proportion. When the congregation grew too large for the place a church building was secured on Canton street, where the church remained until 1889. By this time the congregation was quite large, and the church under the pastorate of the late Rev. William T. Dixon was in a flourishing condition. More room was needed, and the Canton street property was sold for $15,000 and the present building on Dufield street purchased for $40,000. This property is now valued at $48,000. It is clear of debt, and the church has a handsome cash balance and a membership of 1,135. There are many members still living who united with the church forty years ago. To them as well as the younger members and officials the burning of the mortgage was indeed an occasion for great rejoicing. The Rev. William T. Dixon, whose death occurred June 3, 1909, became the pastor of Concord in 1863. At the time of his death there remained only $3,000 of the $40,000 to be paid, a part of which was then in hand. Within the past ten months the remainder has been contributed by the members and congregation and paid. Out of respect for Dr. Dixon's long and faithful services to the church the members voted to credit the full payment for the property to his pastoral record. Previous to the burning of the mortgage at the reunion Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, who is a member of Concord, conducted the following program: Organ voluntary, Professor J. F. R. Wilson; coronation hymn, led by the choir; invocation, Rev. Richmond A. Royster; vocal solo, Mrs. Sarah F. H. Russell; Scripture lesson, Mrs. Anna A. Perkins; vocal solo, Clarence Boden; brief historical sketch of the church, the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown; information from absent members. Church Clerk Miss M. COWDER. Hair Dressing PARLORS.

A 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.

Clarence B, Ball, chairman of the local committee, claimed that since the colored Sunday echools are not mem- bers of the Washington Sunday School association they were not entitled to Fecognition. Bishop J. C. Hartzell of Africa, who fs av Englishman, said of the disgrace- ful actions of the committee: “I cannot see why the loca) commit- tee should bave taken such action. Of course it is out of our bands, but the question of membership in the associ- ation, it seems to me, has nothing whatever to do with the question at fesue. “These Negroes are as much entitled to march In the parade and take part in the convention as the delegates and pupils of otber colors and uationali- ties, many of whom could not be told from your American Negroes, who are bere as high representatives of foreign lands. We bave received no explana- thon from the local committee, and we do not think it bebooves us to ask for one. It is a most unfortunate thing.” The colored schools of Washiugton through a committee which consisted of Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. A. C. Garner. D. E Wiseman, E. 8. Willlams aod F. J. Grimke put in a vigorous protest against the actions of the local committee. The letter of protest concludes as follows: “We wish the delegates from Eu- rope. Asia, Africa. the Americas aod the islands of the seas to know that in our hearts we welcome them, but be- cause of un-Christian race prejudice, which we are sure the delegates can neither understand oor appreciate, we cannot show our hospitality and Chris- tian fellowship without greatly offend- ing the local committce of white Chris- tans. “We cannot refrain from expressing our deep sorrow that a body of breth- ren, while wearing the badge of a Christian, could refuse to manifest the spirit of Christ to the least of his eblidren.” Anether Savings Bank at Richmond.

An Ancient Prayer A letter purporting to have been written by Christ after the crucifixion and ited by:Him under a stone at the of the cross, is-being given wide circulation by the newspapers of the San Mrs. C. O: Friend of rvele, Kan., bas clipped it from 1nE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO: AMO NE, AAUUIS FUSUAISBYALCH ANU aShCU tie Denver Post to reprint it. An injunction to have the letter published has frightened some into whose hands it has fallen, and like the old chain prayer it threatens mis- fortune on those who deliberately withhold it from others. The belief that Christ really gave the letter to be spread broadcast has inspired many to aid in giving it publication. ‘The story is that a little child turned the stone under which the letter was hidden, and that the document was given to a convert to the Christian faith. Must Be Printed. This convert kept it as a sacred memento of Christ and down through generations in his family it was until 7.000 years were passed. Misfortune attended the family always, according to the tale, and at last one of the members came to America, bringing the letter with him. Mrs. Fannie Wortman of Marion, Ind., claims to know the history of the document from that time on. According to her, the owner of it went to Virginia and after a series of misfortunes the last of the family passedout. A Mrs. ‘Thompson, a nelghbor“of the family, took the letter and had it published in the Rome, Ga., Tribune of Oct. 31, 1891. Mrs. Wortman cut it out and kept it in her home. She made no attempt to have it republished until lately and says that she was punished for her failure to give it publicity. | Mrs. Rubin Crutchfield of Treze- vant, Tenn., is another who says she suffered misfortune until she printed the letter. The document says: Sabbath Observance. “Whoscever works on the Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you to go to church and keep holy the Lord’s Day without any manner of work. You shall not idle or mis spend your time in bedecking your selves in superfluities of costly ap parel and vain dressing, for I have ordered it a day of rest. I will have that day kept holy that your sins may be forgiven you. “You will not break my command ments, but observe and keep them they being written by°my hand and spoken from my mouth. You shal! not only go to church yourselves, bu' also your man-servant and maid servant. Observe my words and learr My commandments. “You shall finish work every Sat urday at 6 o'clock in the aftefnoon at which hour the preparation for the Sabbath begins. 1 advise you to fas five Fridays in the year, beginning or Good Friday and continuing the Fri days following, in remembrance o the five bloody wounds I received foi you and mankind.
