The Sunday Alliance INVITES YOU TO ITS Emancipation Program Sunday Afternoon, Jan. 1, at 1712 Curtis St. State Historian & Nat. ural History Society FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Twenty-Second Year SENATE CONFIRMS NEW COLLECTOR Whitefield McKinlay Now Full Fledged Federal Official. C. T. COTTRILL FOR HUNOLULU Brief Bits of Information From Our Washington Correspondent Reveal What Is Going on In Official and Educational Circles In the Capital City—Yuletide Songs Heard. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington. Charles T. Cottrill and Whitefield McKinlay are in the limelight, politically speaking, on account of the appointment of one to a responsible and lucrative office by the president and the confirmation of the other by the senate. President Taft nominated Charles T. Cottrill for the position of collector of customs at Honolulu, Hawaii. The appointment of Mr. Cottrill has been semiofficially announced for some time. A few days prior to the elections last November it was given out on what has been taken as reliable information that Mr. Cottrill would be appointed to the above named position and that William H. Lewis would be appointed an assistant attorney general. With pleasing promptness the senate has confirmed the nomination of Whitfield McKinlay as collector of customs at Georgetown, D. C. The nomination of Mr. McKinlay was sent to congress along with a big batch of other recess appointments. While there was some talk of opposition, yet the friends of Mr. McKinlay have asserted all along that the nomination would go through without a hitch. Dr. and Mrs. B. T. Washington's Visit. Mrs. Booker T. Washington spoke at the Colored Women's Christian association recently. The meeting at which Mrs. Washington spoke was held in the new building of the association on T street. Mrs. Washington emphasized the need of industry and the importance of character in her address. The audi- ence greeted her most enthusiastically, and her address was punctured with applause. The day after Mrs. Washington spoke her distinguished husband joined her in this city. He was accompanied by his "traveling private secretary," Mr. Nathan Hunt. Dr. Washington attended the meeting of the Jeanes fund board recently at the COLLEGE BY PENNEL RYDGE White House and also spoke at the dedication of Science hall, Howard university. Miss Childers a Musical Genius. Christmas songs were sung at vesper services at Howard university Sunday preceding the holidays. Miss Lulu Vere Childers, the talented director of the choir, who is also head of the musical department at Howard, had prepared an excellent musical program for the occasion. The vested choir of fifty voices was assisted by the university orchestra. The choir sang the following anthems: Processional "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing;" "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem;" "Come Unto Me," from the Messiah;" "Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful;" "Saviour, We Adore Thee." The solos were "Oh, Thou That Tellest Good Tidings," "Holy Night" and "There's a Song In the Air. There's a Star In the Sky." Andrew Rankin chapel was filled to overflowing with students and friends. Under Miss Childers' inspiration the vested enoir has risen to be one of the leading features on Howard hill. On Sunday afternoon throngs of fashionably dressed Washington folk can be seen wending their way to the "vespers on the hill." Business High School Proposed. A business high school for the colored youth of Washington will, it is predicted, soon be obtained. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Manual Training school, now the center for training along business lines, is a strong supporter of the movement to promote business education among the colored youth. Besides the address of Mr. Horner addresses were also made by several of Washington's leading colored business men. The glee club of Armstrong Manual Training school rendered some very appropriate selections. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler's Activity. Auditor For the Navy Ralph W. Tyler has a prize of $50 for essay writing to colored student members of junior and senior classes in American colleges. The conditions which govern the competition are as follows: J. First. All competitors must be colored students, bona fide juniors and seniors in attendance at some American college. Second. Essay must not exceed R. R. HORNER, ESQ. 4,000 words, must be typewritten on but one side of paper twelve inches by ten inches, with a margin to the left of the page at least one inch.

This same number should be written on an envelope within which is a sheet of paper bearing the name, college and postoffice address of the contestant. The whole, essay and envelope, should be forwarded to Professor Kelly Miller not later than March 1, 1911. Third.—The subject of the essay contest for 1911 will be "The Negro's Place In the Present Industrial Development of the South." Fourth.—Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Judge R. H. Terrell and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., will be the judges. Those intending to take part in the contest should send their names to Professor Kelly Miller. Howard FIVE CENTS A COPY A BIG STRIKE Eight Foot Vein Found in Golden Chest Mine Word has been received in the city by officers of the Golden Chest Mining and Tunneling Company of a big strike on their property last week. This word comes from J. R. Lewis, who is president of the company. Mr. Lewis is a practical miner and for months has been going ahead with the tunnel which is to cut the vein on Golden Chest No.1 at a depth of 600 feet. The strike which is reported has been discovered on Golden Chest No.3. It is a vein eight feet wide and of undetermined richness. Mr. Lewis was to have come to the city this week for the holidays, but so startling is this strike that he is remaining at the mine until he explores this vein more thoroughly. The Golden Chest mine is one property controlled by Negroes that has tried under difficulties to make a showing for every dollar invested. It has not been an active stock on the market so much as some, but has been more steadily worked than most of them. The stockholders are jubilant such as know of the strike, and the prospects are steadily getting better that this mine will be a dividend payer. It already has one large vein discovered on Golden Cnest - No. 1, which varies in values from $30 to $50 per ton and small veins of higher value have been opened elsewhere on the company property. It is therefore a great stroke of fortune that in the endeavor to drain the large vein already found, another large one should be found. Y. M. C. B. ELECTION. The election of officers of the Y. M. C. B. will be held Thursday evening. January 5, at 8 o'clock at Shorter chapel. All members are expected to be present. The young men of the Y. M. C.

EUREKA TO HOLD ELECTION Tuesday evening, Jan. 3, will be election of officers in the Eureka Literary Society. All members are urged to be present at 8:30 o'clock. The Eureka Literary has just closed a very successful and interesting year with brighter prospects for the coming one. year, and he paid out $34,425. The aggregate amount collected for the eight years this department has been in operation is $123,338.70. The or- ganization is in a healthy condition. Among the prominent Masons attend- ing the grand lodge were Dr. James BH. Shepard, Dr. J. E. Dellinger, Dr, James B. Dudley, Messrs. John ‘1’. Howe of Washington, P. A. Richard- son, George W. Powell, J. G. Catur and Professor William Windsor. The following officers were re-elected by acclamation: P. A. Stevenson, Salisbury, senior warden; W. S, Sim- mons, Bayboro, junior warden; Dr. C. S. Brown, president of Water’s Nor- mal institute and one of the ablest of pulpiteers, president of Lott Carey con- vention and one of the most influen- tial leaders of the race, grand secre- tary; A.

CIVIC LEAGUE’S CONVENTION. Importance of the Organization, Ite Obiects and Aims. The Civie and Political League of Kentucky has issued the following call fo its members: “The Civic and Political League of the State of Kentucky is hereby called to Meet in regular state convention in the Odd Feliows’ hall, Thirteenth and Walnut streets, Louisville, Ky., Jan. 2, 1911. “Since the last meeting of the league many events affecting the country at large and materially concerning us as a people in an especial degree have transpired, showing the wisdom and need of this organization. “We are living in the midst of the most tremendous strides in civilization in the history of the ages. The whole world is in a férment for better civic conditions, and from one end to the other of our great republic men are struggling to make it in deed and in truth the-iand of the free and the home of the brave. In the presence of this great movement for social and civic uplift we cannot afford to stand still. “The object of our organization is to instill respect for law, foster educa- tion, promote the higher ethics, discuss Ways and means for the suppression of crime, elevate our standard of citizen- ship and appeal for the civie and po- titical immunities vouchsafed us by the law and priceless as the inalienable safeguards of American manhood. “Let us conduct ourselves in a man- her so commendable as to appeal to all good men, to the end that we may no longer be the football of political par lies in the midst of heated campaigns. “The basis of representation shall be cone delegate for each 100 votes cast by the Negro in the last presidential election. Any club, lodge or school may send a delegate if elected in ac- cordance with this call.” The general officers of the league are: G. W. Gentry, president; Albert S. White, vice president; B. E. Under- wood, secretary; W. T. Merchant, chairman Fifth Congressional District league; H. C. Weeden, chairman ex- ecutive committee. Hesperia Social Club’s Initial Dance.

The initial dance of the club was given on Tuesday evening, Dec, 27. THE STATESMAN; DENVER, COLORADO. or | AN INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN. 080 |. A. Richardson's. Work ae Endow- | OO ANNU AD’ Eastern North Carolina has a num- ber of influential Afro-Americans who are among the constructive element of the race. In this section of the south racial antipathy is not in evidence to the extent that Afro-Americans are prescribed along lines of higher use- fulness nor to the degree that they are discouraged when it comes to using their natural endowments in activities that will make them a potent force in business. An excellent example of this fact is found in the life of P. A. Richardson of Nashville, N. C. Fraternal move- ments have largely conserved certain interests of the race in this section of North Carolina. This is due largely to the intelligent and honest leadership directing certain fraternities. Mr. Richardson is recognized as a man who can create an atmosphere helpful to his~race and the community in which he Hyves. He acceptably holds the high posi- tion of trust as endowment secretary for the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in the United States. When elected to this position two years ago the department was $12,000 in debt. This amount has been paid, and today he has over $12,000 as a surplus, A & ae ihe eo og ee ee 4 eee y i e “3 ; ry 4 i P. a. RICHARDSON. commendable feature of his adininis- tration is that he pays all claims promptly. It is demonstrated in a concrete manner that a man who is thrifty and has an ennobling character is in his own sphere a patrician, and it is proved that such persons are the prop- er factors in promoting movements for the uplift of the race. Mr, Richard- son has accumulated a valuable estate and is regarded by both races as a successful business man. In civie and econoinie activities, especially in the section where he resides, he is among the prominent factors in these move- meuts.

Is another man who woke up in the dark seeing things; has had a hallucination of himself beating Jack Johnson. In terror he fled to Jim Corbett, nurse of the hopeful and hopes, and is to receive a professional opinion as to whether there is any value in his vision. This latest arrival in the ranks of the uncalled but coming is Carl Morris, a big fireman from the Oklahoma state, and he has been in council with Mr. James Corbett, the dopester. But let him beware of old Dr. Jack Johnson, as it is said that he is ready to give the sufferer of visions a deep and dreamless sleep. THE TROUBLES OF THE DRAMATIC CRITIC. Probably no person is more severely criticized than the dramatic critic. One authority says that theatrical criticism has no effect upon the fortunes of a play. Columns of adulation will, it is asserted, fail to bring a penny piece into the box office. Neither will condemnation keep the public away. As a distinguished dramaist once said, "A play is like a cigar. If it is bad no amount of puffing will make it draw. If it is good everybody wants a box at once." Like Mr. Lester Walton, writer and dramatic critic of the New York Age. He is considered as one of the best Negro critics in one country, and yet when he makes a criticism on some play or act that is not what it should be, who gets the worst of it? Well, the critic don't miss his share. THE R. M. A. CLUB'S LADIES' DAY, THURSDAY, JAN. 12, 1911. Aver eight months of successful operation with the support of the club's large membership and the number of visitors, President Victor Walker wishes to thank them all for their loyal support. It is the finest colored club west of New York City. Now Mr. Walker is going to open the doors to the ladies on Jan. 12th from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. and it is hoped that every lady in town will accept this invitation, as the association only has ladies' day every four months. And we also want the wives and sweethearts to come and see this palace, the R. M. A. Club. MUSICAL FISKS A clever musical company that has ever made good in the South have just closed 35 weeks of hard but pleasant work with the Cotton Blossom show boat at New Orleans, they will open ot Pensacola, Fla., next week, playing on the Greenwood time. ALABAMA'S COMEDY FOUR. One of the best colored singing quartettes on the road this season is that of the Alabama Comedy Four. They sing a whole lot, dance a little, and real funny and oh, the hits they are making, and Manager John Burnham says he can play New York for six months and then some. FORD DABREY'S THEATRE, WASHINGTON, D. C. Madeline Cooper, the original Kinky and a native of that city, is making a reputation for herself by singing and dancing. Her late song hits are Mazie and Sue Simmons. She is a favorite among the theater goers and w.l. probably be booked for a run of five months. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

BOBBY KEMP & CO. One of the cleverest comedians on the vaudeville stage is that of Bobby Kemp, who will be in this city in early spring with a clever company of Zulu artists which it is said is making good. SAM McVEY, THE PARIS AMERICAN NEGRO BOXER. Sam McVey, the big Negro heavyweight boxer, who formerly lived in the United States, is such a favorite in Paris that he is inclined to want to change his name and color so that he can appear more French.

This league will be for the protection of the player and it is hoped to be enforced. JOHN RUCKER AND MINSTRELS.

The work of the Utica (Miss.) Normal and Industrial institute is in a most flourishing condition and is steadily progressing. Professor William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the school, is one of the younger class of educators which are now in charge of many of the trade and industrial schools in the south. The school was begun about eight years ago in a very small way. It owned no property and had few facilities for school or student purposes. It now owns in the neighborhood of $100,000 worth of property, and there are about 500 students connected with the institution. An effort is now being made to raise sufficient funds to replace the school buildings which were destroyed by a severe storm in 1909. Professor Holtzclaw is held in the highest esteem by the white citizens of Utica, many of whom have greatly aided the school in a financial way. Brooklyn Elks Elect New Officers.

Veteran Editor Threescore and Ten Christmas Day. CAME UP FROM THE BOTTOM. Personal Friends, Business and Professional Men In Oriole City Are Planning Big Banquet In Honor of John H. Murphy's Natal Day—His Remarkable Rise. Baltimore.—Great preparations are being made to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the birth of John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, which occurs Christmas day. A number of the leading citizens of Baltimore are planning to give a monster banquet in honor of the veteran editor early in January. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Prominent among them are Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former American minister to Liberia; City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times; Revs. G. R. Waller, W. A. C. Hughes, D. G. Hill, A. L. Gaines, Franklin F. Johnson of the Afro-American Ledger; Robert A. Elliott, a leading funeral director; Attorney W. C. McCard, Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins and Samuel R. Bishop. Mr. Murphy is a Baltimorean by birth and received his education in private schools. He says that the curriculum of the school he attended consisted mainly of the John Comley spelling book, the three R's and the rattan, all being given in equal proportions. He served in one of the colored regiments during the civil war. After leaving the army he followed whitewashing and other menial pursuits until he started in the printing business a little over twenty years ago. Having gained some journalistic experience by publishing the Sunday School Helper and acting as the Baltimore correspondent of the New York Age, he began the publication of the Baltimore Standard. This venture was not successful, and he soon found employment as a compositor on the Afro-American Ledger, which was founded by Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander in 1892. When the Northwestern Family Supply company, which owned the paper at that time, failed in 1897 he saw an opportunity to again enter the newspaper business, and he purchased the Afro-American and its mechanical equipment, giving his personal notes to cover the purchase price. A year or so later he purchased the Ledger, which he consolidated with the AfroAmerican. During the thirteen years he has published the paper he has seen if grow from the nonpaying stage into one of the most influential and widely circulated race journals in the country. The business of the Afro-American Ledger has grown to such proportions that more modern quarters are needed, and a large three story building at 628 North Eutaw street, corner of Druid Hill avenue, has been leased, and the paper will move there early in January after extensive renovations have been made. Once in the new building he hopes to realize his dream of laying more firmly the foundation for a great race paper. Three of his sons are now associated with him in carrying on the business. Seven other persons make up the news gathering, mechanical and office force of the corporation. A number of out of town correspondents are also on the payroll. Aside from his journalistic duties Mr. Murphy has devoted much of his time to church work and only retired from Sunday school work after thirty five years' service. He has been a delegate to several general conferences of the African Methodist Episcopal church and as a layman is widely known. He is also a thirty-third degree Mason and is imperial recorder of the Mystic Shriners. His wife, Mrs. M. E. Murphy, is president of the Baltimore Young Women's Christian association. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, with their nine children and several grandchildren, will hold a family reunion Christmas day THE STATESMAN ALWAYS HAS ROOM FOR YOUR NEWS.

Movement to Establish Such In Chi- cago Meeting With Favor. The monument to establish a hos- pital in Chicago, to be known as the Paul Laurence Dunbar Memorial sani- tarium, is meeting with encouraging support. The institution is to be a place for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis among our people. It is belleved that If the disease can be taken hold of at its beginning and proper treatment secured it can be routed out. At a meeting recently held in Bethel A. M. E. church the following well known and influential eltizens were among the speakers, with the Hon. Riebard T. Greener as the presiding officer: Dr. W. A. Evans, health com missioner; David Paulson, superin- fendent of the Hinsdale sanitarium, and the Rey. Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel church, & * One of the most helpful features about the whole movement Is that It has the support of a large nnmber of some of the leading white citizens of Chicago, who are deeply interested in the effort of members of our race to put in operation such au institution. The public generally is also interested to a large degree, as was manifested at the recent public meeting On the board of directors are Dr. Anna R. Cooper, president; Mrs. L. Waller, secretary; Mrs. F, Turner, treasurer, and Dr. D. Roberts.

East Turner hall overflowed several times to accommodate the steady inpouring of people. The evening was marked by perfect order and was a social triumph. The usual praise was given the Masons for the absence of the liquor dispensatory next to the main hall. The gifts which they make annually to ticket holders this year go to Nos. 56, 1058, 898, 293, 899, 891 and 1264 in the order named. The gifts are on exhibition at the Elite drug store, where they may be secured by the persons holding these numbers. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Chapman of Idaho Springs, Miss Lucille Clark, Jos.

All left happy and wishing Mr. Bell many more happy birthdays. The funeral of Carter Branford, who passed away Christmas day occurred Wednesday from Zion church of which he had been a member thirty years.

For a year he had been in declining health and three years ago was so low that his life was despaired of. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Over. Besides children of a former marriage, he leaves a widow to mourn him. His passing was that of a man well beloved, thoroughly industrious and honorable. THE S.

The Self Improvement and Social Club is making good its name by making an unqualified success of its annual social meeting at which the members' husbands are present. This year it was at the home of Mrs. J. R. Contee, and Tuesday night was the time. Maybe it was the Christmas spirit, maybe it was the extra effort the ladies made; at any rate the guests one and all declare that never did grace and beauty, combined with fashion, so conspire to distinguish one social gathering from the many. The home made an admirable setting for the gathering. The six tables of players furnished the interest, while the refreshments, both in kind and service, completed a perfect evening. THE STATESMAN.

SUMNER'S ANNIVERSARY. National Independent Political League Wants Nation Wide Celebration. National Independent Political League, Office of Corresponding Secretary. 21 Cornhill, Boston. [Where Garrison published his Liberator.] Appeal to colored Americans particuarly and to all other Americans: Friday, Jan. 6, 1911, is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Sumner, for twenty-three years a member of the United States senate during the critical days for this Union from 1851 to 1874. We appeal to our fellow countrymen to celebrate with appropriate exercises his centenary. To no son more than to Sumner does this republic owe its preservation as a free country, to none more its rescue from the blasting blight and national blot of human slavery. At first standing almost alone in the senate, he thundered against the iniquity of slavery until it was abolished. Willingly he suffered the almost living death caused P. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS by the mighty attack he made upon this sin and by his suffering multiplied its enemies. After slavery was abolished he was foremost against its recrudescence in new forms. Noble service he rendered his republic as advocate of equality of rights. He was a moral giant, a great statesman, noble crusader against caste, a true American. He belonged not to Massachusetts alone, but to the Union. Now the --- MERRY WIDOW MASK BALL Y.M.A.C. The Colored Young Men's Athletic Club PRIZE CONTEST--Prize for the Finest Costume.

In every city, town and hamlet let those Americans of color, to secure liberty, citizenship, the ballot and lastly civil equality, for which he labored, prepare to honor his memory in public meeting on Jan. 6, 1911. He died with these words on his lips: "Don't let them kill my civil rights bill." Honor his memory, all other Americans for whom he gave his genius and his life to make this a real republic, a country where all should be equal under the law without distinction of race, creed or color—in very truth the land of the free.

PAGE. & NOTABLE EVENT FOR ABYSSINJA Church Founded In 1808 Celebrates Century of Progress. PASTORED BY MANY ABLE MEN Series of Services In Keeping With the Long and Eventful Career of the Abyssinian Baptist Church In New York Has a Unifying Effect Upon All Denominations. By far the most interesting and notable series of services in church circles in New York the latter part of November was the celebration of the one hundred and second anniversary of the Abyssinian Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is pastor. The influence and popularity of the pastor, coupled with that of the members of the church and congregation, drew to the exercises, which were held nightly for more than a week, the clergy and laity of all denominations. In connection with the series of meetings the church had plans perfected by which to raise funds toward paying off the mortgage debt. The aim of the pastor and members was to secure $2,000. At the conclusion of the celebration it was found that the sum of $2,352.61 had been contributed. The Abyssinian church is the pioneer colored Baptist congregation in Greater New York. It was founded with twelve members in 1808. Its first meeting house was in Anthony street, now Worth street, in the vicinity of the city hall. The congregation remained in the Anthony street place of worship M. for a number of years. The Rev. Mr. Paul was the pastor. The congregation purchased the property for $3,000. The next places of worship were halls until 1858 or 1859, when the congregation began the purchase of the church in Waverly place with the money realized from the sale of the Anthony street property. Abyssinia remained in Waverly place until 1903, by which time it had purchased the property outright and also had placed a snug little sum in the bank. The church then moved to its present place of worship. During the first forty-eight years of the church's existence she had eleven pastors—the Revs. Van Velser, Sigel, Paul, Hayborn, Tompson, Lomis, White, Moore, Raymond, Henderson and Dutton. In the last fifty-four years she has been more fortunate, the present beloved pastor being the fourth since 1856. Beginning with Father Spellman, who was with the church from 1856 to 1885, the church greatly prospered under his administration. Rev. Mr. Wynn took the reins in 1885, and for sixteen years he wisely guided Abyssinia, leaving her in 1901 absolutely clear of debt, with a good bank account and, what is more, a large membership. Rev. Charles S. Morris succeeded Rev. Mr. Wynn in 1902 and pastored the church for six years, during which time the congregation moved from Waverly place to its present place of worship, purchasing it at a cost of $65,000, paying $25,000 outright and mortgaging it for the balance. The church was without a pastor from the spring of 1908 to January, 1909, at which time the highly esteemed and efficient and much beloved pastor, Rev. A. Clayten Powell, came to the church. The members have been wonderfully blessed by his inspiration, and several hundred have been added to the church since his coming, making a number at present of over 2,000. Working with the church is a Sunday school having 338 scholars and twenty-six faithful teachers, including the superintendent, whose efforts are rewarded each year by the addition of numerous young members for a future church. A Baptist Young People's union which has a membership of 150 is also connected with the church. The B. Y. P. U. is a unique as well as helpful auxiliary of the church in that it tends to greatly benefit and uplift the young people in a literary and social sense. Sweitzer Camp to Install Officers. The annual installation of officers of the General J. B. Sweitzer camp, No. 98, Sons of Veterans, Pittsburg, will be held on Friday evening, Jan. 13, 1911. At the meeting of the camp Friday evening Dec. 23, several new members were mustered in. The newly elected officers are Frank B. Pulpree, commander; George H. Brown, senior commander; Thomas W. Cuff, junior commander; William H. Barnett, delegate; S. A. Corbin, alternate; R. F. Beasley, W. H. Barnett, O. Tempson, camp counsel. Advance Date Social Functions. The Monocan club, which is conceded to give "the affairs" of the season in Washington, has announced the dates of its coming "assemblies." They will occur on Dec. 28, 1910: Feb. 24 and April 21, 1911. Washington's social set will vie to make these "assemblies" notable in the annals of Capital City society. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS.

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."

BRIGADIER GENERAL BURT LAUDS NEGRO SOLDIERS. Their War Record and General Behavior Challenge Comparison. The Boston Literary and Historical association is to be congratulated upon its good fortune in having Brigadier General Andrew S. Burt as the principal speaker at its December meeting. William Monroe Trotter, president of the association, presided. Members of Grand Army posts in Boston and vicinity were out in large numbers to greet General Burt—Sons and Daughters of Veterans, Spanish War Veterans and the Mrs. Roger Wolcott auxiliary. A detail from Company L, Sixth infantry, Massachusetts volunteer militia, acted as ushers, and General Burt was escorted to the St. Paul Baptist church, where the exercises were held by a detail from the Robert A. Bell post 134, G. A. R., and the John R. Riley camp of Spanish War Veterans. Adjutant Isaac Mullen was in command. General Burt's subject was, "The Negro Soldier In Ancient and Modern Times." In the course of his able and patriotic address, which was punctuated with hearty applause throughout its delivery. General Burt said: We have in our regular army four regiments of colored soldiers—the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. The two cavalry regiments have fine records in the campaigns on our western frontier in the days of Indian warfare and in Cuba and the Philippines. Today no finer horsemen carry sabers and carbines than these Negro soldiers. It is whispered abroad that the Tenth regiment arrived on the field of Santiago in the nick of time to save a much heralded cavalry command from being wiped out or otherwise rough ridden by Spanish forces. This kindly help by Negro troopers has not to my knowledge been bruited about with any very loud acclaim. The Twenty-fourth infantry has likewise made an enviable record in Indian warfare, in Cuba and in the Philippines, for its law abiding conduct wherever it has served in this country and in foreign lands. For the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry I challenge the record for good citizenship of any class at any time or place in these United States so long as I have known them. Let that challenge stand for any remarks by me at this time about the very lamentable treatment of our people at Brownsville. Needs of Calhoun Colored School. Recent efforts on the part of the Rev. Ambrie Field and those associated with him to raise funds for the Calhoun Colored school, Calhoun, Ga., have been very successful. It takes $30,000 annually to run the institution. To put the school on a good financial basis, Mr. Field says, an endowment of at least $200,000 is needed. The school is located in the center of an immense population of colored people among whom it is doing excellent work. --- PAGE 1 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Eighteenth Annual Conference In Greensboro Breaks Record. Bishop Coppin In Address to A. M. E. Conference Says a Weak Pulpit Cannot Be of Real Value to the Pew. Some Achievements of the Race Recited. The eighteenth annual session of the western North Carolina conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, recently held in Bethel A. M. E. church, Greensboro, N. C., was one of the most successful held for several years. The Right Rev. Bishop L. J. Coppin presided over the various sessions and inspired both clergy and laymen by his words of good cheer and instruction. Addresses of welcome to the ministers, delegates and visitors were delivered by Dr. James B. Dudley, Dr. J. E. Dellinger, Rev. J. G. Walker and Miss Georgia Morrow. Among the leading men of the conference were Dr. R. H. Leake, Dr. C. H. King, Dr. J. E. Jackson, Professor J. M. Avery and Dr. George W. Adam. Rev. W. H. Manoke, pastor of Bethel church, endeavored to make the various meetings pleasant and profitable for those who attended. In the course of his annual address Bishop Coppin said in part: The special work of the church is moral, religious and educational. We must depend upon the ministry to carry out these purposes by the co-operation of the lay members. I am more and more convinced that the pressing need of the church is a stronger ministry. A weak pulpit cannot be of real value to the pew. Our church schools must be strengthened and our missionary funds increased for the home as well as the foreign field. Our conference just closed at Rich Square reported $23,000 collected this year, principally for education and missions. The quarto-centennial meeting of Kittrell college will be held next May, and we owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve to make the occasion a brilliant success. We ought to raise $25,000 for Kittrell college alone. The legacy of character and a Christian education is the most valuable inheritance that we can hand down to our children. Being churchmen does not hinder us from seeing many disadvantages, civic and political, that the race labors under, but this work, being a secular kind, must be left largely to secular hands. We must strengthen the church in its direct and legitimate work, and to do this we must have a strong ministry, a ministry that is morally and intellectually strong. I shall expect the hearty co-operation of the committees whose duty it is to examine candidates for the ministry to be presented at this conference. I trust that the western North Carolina conference will make as good a showing as the conference just closed in the east. ```markdown ``` I. M.

ZION'S BEST ANNUAL REPORT NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. The annual meeting of the church was held last Wednesday evening, at which the officers for the ensuing year were elected and reports were heard covering the twelve months ending December 31st. The work shows a vast increase along all lines. The roll shows a substantial increase in members, which now numbers well on toward the 600 mark, while the financial reports surpass greatly anything in the history of Zion. Total receipts from all sources, including the auxiliary work, make the year's work amount to more than $7,000.00. Brother I. H. Wallace was elected to the deacon board; Brother P. J. Porter was re-elected as superintendent of the Sunday school; Brother L. H. Walton was made president of the B. Y. P. U.; Brother A. C. Jackson was elected secretary of the church and pastor's assistant; Brother P. J. Porter was also re-elected church treasurer. The meeting was one of the most pleasant and enthusiastic ever held by the church. A vote of thanks to the auxiliary workers was taken, the pastor most generously commended all those who have shown such remarkable loyalty to his efforts during the year, after which the people were dismissed in a spirit which would indicate larger conquests for 1911. The plans for next year contemplate extending and broadening the work along many lines; by placing all the clerical work in the hands of a competent secretary, will enable the pastor to give more time to administrative work and also to keep in closer touch with the members of our large congregation. We hope to evolve a system by which we expect to have a report on every individual member at least once each month. The congregation will observe "watch night" services on next Saturday night. It is planned to render a special program consisting largely of music by the choir. Everybody is welcome. Let us have a full attendance. Southern melodies will be a feature. The third Sunday in January will be "Missionary Day" in Zion. Rev. J. D. Gordon and wife of Los Angeles, Cal., who are being sent by Southern California to Liberia to found a missionary colony, will pass through Denver en route to Africa and will spend Sunday, Jan. 15th, as the guests of the pastor. Brother Gordon will occupy the pulpit all day which will prove a great treat to the church. A great missionary program is planned for the afternoon to which all Denver is invited. Come and let us give them a hearty God-send on their way to the fatherland. Calendars for 1911 are being prepared and it is hoped that all those who have not sent in their subscription cards will do so on next Sunday. RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE DENVER MINISTERIAL UNION. The Denver Ministerial Union, composed of the Negro ministers of Denver, at its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 13th, 1910. passed the following resolutions: Owing to a great lack of loyalty existing among the Negro population of this city, as shown in the failure of so many of our race to patronize negro business and professional men, we as a body of Christian ministers and pastors, feeling keenly our obligation as leaders of our people, consider it our duty to use every reasonable means to promote and bring about unity, cooperation and consequently race solidarity, do most heartily deplore and condemn the disposition of so many to seek the service of business and professional men of the white race when the same service can be rendered with perfect competency, and generally at a less cost, by members of our own race. We are constantly embarassed by being called upon to conduct funeral services over the bodies of Negroes at the undertaking establishments of white men, while our own undertakers are idle and meeting great difficulty in securing sufficient employment to continue in the business. Upon investigation we have learned that a great percentage of those Negroes who die in the possession of sufficient means to defray the expense of a competent, and in many cases elaborate, funeral service are sent to white undertakers, while all those bodies for which there is no means to provide this service, are sent to Negroes, causing them great business embarassment and necessitating constant calls upon our congregations for charity to meet such conditions. This, too, in the face of the fact that the great majority of the white men in this business have repeatedly affirmed that they do not cater to Negroes and in fact do not care to handle the bodies of Negroes at all. We believe this to be, on the part of our people, unfair, disloyal and in every way detrimental to the race welfare and upbuilding. In consideration of the foregoing, be it therefore Resolved, That no minister, member of this body, shall perform a funeral service over the body of a Negro in a white undertaking establishment. That we will most heartily discourage from our pulpits and elsewhere the practice of bringing white undertakers into our churches. That a copy of these resolutions be handed to the newspapers for publication, and that a copy also be sent to each and every secret and fraternal organization in the city.
