Let large success for a woman, and especially for one of our own women and one in our own community is still sufficiently a novelty to be worth space in a newspaper as a matter of news. In a beautifully arranged studio whose plate glass windows overlook busy Fifteenth street, one of our townwomen is making a name for herself that reaches from coast to coast. That woman is Madam Ada Crummer. To those who know her only as a member of Shorter choir, a property owner and an agreeable social acquaintance, it will be news that she is a scalp specialist whose skill is talked of even in New York City, and whose treatment is sought by the richest and most influential people of Denver. It has been several years since she first began this work. It is a far cry from the home to elegantly appointed quarters, yet she has made her way step by step until she now serves 300 persons, including bankers, lawyers, doctors, society people, women whose names are high on the social register, and serves them with such unusual ability that she has no need to maintain current prices. A few persons realize that the obstacle of color serves to keep back only those of mediocre merit, but is important to stop great merit. Madam Crummer has actually grown 27 inches of hair upon a head in one year. She has brought healthful conditions for hundreds. She has demonstrated before the Woman's Club of Denver and electrified 700 women by her knowledge of hair health and scientific manipulation of head to beget growth. She has been able to receive so many requests for accommodations that her patrons are the pick of many. Such success has turned the head of none, but it is very probable that few in Denver have known that she has been doing such a great work previous to reading this article, for certainly her manner has been as modest and unassuming as it has always been. Best of all, she has been able to make the way upward easier for others. For some time she has employed as maid Miss Marguerite Graves, and recently has been able to make an opening for a manicurist and hair dresser, so that now Madam Walker, formerly of Omaha, one whose professional ability was much sought there by fashionable people, is associated with her. Amid green palms and ferns, tasty portieres, leather upholstered furniture, in a newly decorated suite in the Charlton hotel, colored womanhood is stretching upward its vision to greatness and putting its feet on higher rungs of the ladder of success. NEW METHODS IN SHORTER SUN- DAY SCHOOL. Through the efforts of Mrs. Fannie Brown there has been installed in the Sunday school of Shorter church a "cradle roll." Together with "seals," this innovation has brought to the school much increased interest in that department of church work. In brief the cradle roll may be described as a list of infants whose parents are friends and well wishers of the church. The seals are pictured representations of the cross, the crown and other symbolical objects connected with Holy Writ. They are placed in succession on a ribbon as fast as each pupil perfects himself in repeating the Lord's Prayer from memory, the Ten Commandments, and the like. When all the tasks are completed the ribbon is covered with seals, signifying perfection in that respect. Together with a roll kept for perfect attendance during the quarter of the year, the system is a most happy one --- for encouraging little folk to make an early beginning in Christian life. EFFICIENCY. The organization among the waiters of Denver of an association which seeks to incorporate in its membership all the capable workers of that kind is a most commendable move. This association promises to teach the technique of the trade and to insist upon the faithful performance of every detail by every member. Different from trades unionism, which has settled down to a means of controlling wages, this association undertakes to control the quality of work. The story of the therorganization, with the list of officers, discloses the fact that men are leading the move who are thoroughly capable. The Statesman cannot praise the waiters too highly. They are the second trade in Denver which has discovered that not only is it necessary to bring out the best qualities in each individual worker if he would be better paid or better treated, but that something had to be done to prevent work from slipping entirely out of our hands. All workers are not equally competent. All are not equally desirous of doing their best. Yet the scale of wages for the same class of work is the same for all men, and dissatisfaction with part of that class means the dismissal of all. Since the white people of this country have seen fit to link all Negroes together in their decisions effecting members of the race, elimination on their part is death to our industrial prospects. We must ourselves pick out the best workers. We must ourselves correct the incompetent and spur on the indifferent. The waiters of Denver in their endeavor to better their condition, like the soda dispensers, have taken the right step. Efficiency is the watchword of the twentieth century. It is the one element of commercial success that is colorless. It will win. The community owes a debt of gratitude to the men who are the first to carry this gospel on to fruition. THE DIXIE MINSTRELS AT EAST TURNER. Last Monday night the Dixie Ministrels, a home talent show, played to a very pleasing house of 300 or 400 people. The opening of the show was nicely staged and the numbers were goods. Elkins and Earl Jones were the best of the four comedians, and Son Edwards as interlocutor was very good. Thomas Berry, the basso, of course held his own and his solo was the hit of the show, and the music was also very good, being a new organized orchestra. Elkins and Tumlin were clever in their team dancing, and on the whole every one was quite acceptable, but there is room for a big improvement for all of them. JONES AND GILLAM A very clever colored team who have been over making good in the Northeast are now en route across the Dominion of Canada, having just closed at Montreal, Canada, and Kingston, Ont. They will work straight across to B. C. and then down the coast line into San Francisco. Miss Helen Council of Omaha is in the city stopping with Mrs. W. B. Townsend, W. A. Johnson and family, who have been living at Littleton, are now residing at 2642 Marion street. Don't forget the Pekin Prize Waltzing and Two Step Contest at East Turner Hall March 30. Eight big prizes and Ben Goodman's orchestra. OUR NEW DRESS- PLEASES The change of form of The Statesman made last week has brought us many compliments. We are glad that we have pleased our patrons. To give the best news service to our readers, to give the best return to our advertisers, is our mission and the approval of the public is sweet music to our ears. We have endeavored to be above the petty methods which some papers use in their struggle toward a competence. We have tried to publish a clean paper, one that the whole family can read, one that does not reek with the spleen of a revengeful CHEYENNE NEWS. The revival closed Friday night. During the meetings fourteen were added to the church. Rev. Scott departed Saturday morning for Colorado Springs. The Woman's Mite Missionary held a very enjoyable meeting at the home of Mrs. Chas. A. Lucas on Friday. A delightful program was rendered. Rev. and Mrs. Scott gave very interesting talks to the ladies. Mrs. Lucas was assisted in serving delicious refreshments by Misses Eunice Ashford and Ruth Robinson. About 18 were present. The Misses Palmer were the charming hostesses of the Young Ladies' Literary and Aft club. Dainty, refreshments were served by the girls. The Young Peoples' Temperance Society held its first meeting Sunday afternoon at the home of Miss Eunice Ashford. A very interesting program was rendered. Mrs. Susanah Pierson entertained at a beautiful appointed breakfast last Friday morning. Those enjoying Mrs. Pierson's hospitality were Rev. and Mrs. Scott and Rev. and Mrs. Washington. It seems that the young ladies cannot do without their "Sunday luncheons." Sunday, March 19, Miss Pearl Ewing entertained at a delicious luncheon. Those enjoying Miss Ewing's luncheon were: Misses Eunice Ashford, Arminta Cave, Lillian Jefferson, Virgil Gaskin, Bertha Larkins and Ruth Robinson. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Robinson are having two modern houses built on their lots on 27th and Pnill streets. Mrs. Wiseman of California is a guest at the home of Mrs. J. E. Smith. Cheyenne people do not have the pleasure of going to any more band concerts on Saturday evenings. The Ninth Cavalry band's absence is the cause of this. Any person having Cheyenne news please notify Ruth Robinson before Tuesday morning of each week. It will gladly be accepted. Miss Lucy Odom and Mr. Charles Davis were quietly married March 9 at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Muse, 812 North 19th street. Rev. Anderson officiated. Mrs. Davis will leave for her home in Texas April 1, where she will visit parents and friends. KICKED BY A MAD HORSE. Samuel Birch; of Beetown, Wis. had a most narrow escape from losing his leg, as no doctor could heal the frightful sore that developed, but at last Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured it completely. It's the greatest healer of ulcers, burns, boils, eczema, scalds, cuts, corns, cold-sores, bruises and piles on earth. Try it, 25c, at all druggists. EAST LAS VEGAS Rev. Brannon of Boulder, Colo., has been holding a series of meetings here at the Baptist church with much success. The A. M. E. church has also profited by these services. The Baptist church is in condition to do excellent work but it is need of a good shepherd. A number of the people here have acquired some good homes and are doing well. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson invited several friends to meet Rev. Brannon. management, one that seeks patronage on its own merit rather than upon its abuse of others. We are the more grateful to those who compliment us because we know that we need not be ashamed of the means whereby The Statesman has come to its present circulation and influence. In return for the support we receive we are grateful, and we expect to prove our gratitude by a consistent endeavor to give a better news service and a stronger support to all that leads to the uplift of humanity and the race. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Jackson have purchased a neat five-room brick cottage at 30th and Marion streets and are moving into it. The beginning of home buying in early spring is pleasant to record. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are the kind of people that will make or Denver a greater city. Miss Verona Mason is a sufferer with inflamed gums this week. On Friday night Mrs. Anna Baptiste was hostess at a whist party which furnished an evening of enjoyment for five couples. Mrs. Geo. Burrell is indisposed. G.

DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Page Five The consensus of opinion after the entertainment at the Peoples' Pressbyterian church Thursday night was that Hewitson Watson was a good chorus director. In varying degrees of emphasis he was commanded and he deserved every word of it. There were other features on the program that were good, very good, but Mr. Watson and his chorus were what the audience wished chiefly to hear. Devoid of any of the spectacular gyrations of some leaders, he yet put into his work the power and movement that made the singers responsive. Best of all, the singing itself showed careful training and proved the director to be a worker no less than musician. It is no small task to take singers whose training has been largely in choirs, and make of them good chorus material. Yet Mr. Watson has made good, and Denver welcomes into its midst a musician. The singing of Mesdames Rose and Fife and Messrs. Clark and Ward in quartet, the duet of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, the violin solo of Miss C Creedon and piano solos of Miss Rhoda Anderson and the "little songs" by little Miss Vivian Jones won much applause and deserved it well. The farce in one act, participated in by Miss Edna Freeman, Wayman Ward, Hewetson Watson and Miss Grace Cole, was a side splitter. The first two with their spoony moments would have been well received anywhere. A small number of persons attended the meeting in celebration of the twenty-sixth anniversary of The Colorado African Colonization company. They heard some good speeches and the cause of the company was able set forth. The fact that the company is now asking a land grant for settlers in Liberia, with some show of success, makes this first substantial beginning of real settlement a matter of more than ordinary interest. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, G. W. Brooks and George Washington were given their Masonic degrees in the Masonic lodges last week and this week. Charles Stewart, the civil war vet eran, had his annual party and birthday celebration on last Sunday at the Marquette hotel in the tonsorial parors. This affair is unique in that it partakes largely of the nature of a blessing and evidence of good will from the hundreds of white people who know and esteem Mr. Stewart. This year it was larger than ever, with some of the best people in Denver there. Mr. Stewart is 68 years young and looks forward to many happy years yet. W. A. Rice is sick with tonsilitis Mrs. Annie Porter entertained for Misses Grace and Irene Walker on Thursday evening. Bethlehem Baptist Church is rejoicing over the ability to make a payment on their property at 28th and Lawrence street. It is proud of its ability to do more than hold its own through the past winter. A visitor to the city this week was Lawyer W. H. Stanton of Pittsburg, Pa., who was en route to Pueblo to look after the settlement of an estate there. F. M. Lenza is now in the state of Washington engaging in business, with a considerable degree of success. President J. N. Walker was the principal speaker. D. J. Hodges has been called to Memphis by the sickness of his father. Mrs. M. Kitchen has been ill. Miss Lucille Clark is down from Sa- State Historian & Natural History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention Page Five The production of the "Wedding Feast" from Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha" at Zion Baptist church was the most ambitious musical offering in Denver for years. This composition, be it remembered, is the one which gave to a Negro his lasting fame as a musical genius. It is the one which a chorus in the East rendered a few weeks ago after a most laborious instruction under Mr. Taylor himself. It was only a small part of it that the audience heard on Tuesday night, and it had hardly settled down to the enjoyment of it before the singing was concluded. The Coleridge Taylor Study Club that produced it, is having all the trouble that the music itself entails, together with that caused by the smallness of numbers, its unfamiliarity with the production as given by well trained choruses, so that its proficiency is remarkable under the conditions. The show and dance at East Turner hall on Monday night got a good house. The Dixie Minstrels was the production participated in by home and out of town talent. The show was a good one and the dance also. As is usual nowadays, the evening was one round of pleasure unmarred by anything that could offend. A number of little friends went to the home of Quentin Harrington on Gilpin street Wednesday and assisted him in celebrating his birthday. Little folk have such good times playing and eating and this party was a pattern for all. Mrs. Kate Carper was hostess at a Dutch luncheon given Wednesday evening. Little Thelma Casey has had a hard spel of sickness from measles. Rev. Banks, who is temporarily filling the pulpit at Zion continues to have good congregations. Presiding Elder Owens of this district of the African Methodist church has gone to Kansas City, where he will attend a meeting of the presiding elders of the Fifth district, who are conferring with Bishop Parks. The Sunshine Club meets next Thursday with Mrs. Raymond Anderson of 527 26th street. All members are urged to be present to attend to important business. Mrs. M. E. Mackey, president; Miss Lillion Overstreet, assistant secretary. Registered at Hotel Abyssinia: Registered at Hotel Abyssima: Messrs. Wagner, Wagner, W. H. Young, A. P. Craiz, S. B. Corbin, B. J.

LOOKING FOR A BETTER MARKET Harry Groves leaves soon for a trip west, going as far as San Francisco. Together with his brother George of this city, he is engaged in the stock raising business, having the ranch at Manitou. He is making the trip west with a view to investigating conditions for the sale of stock and for their feeding, with a view to making a change if the conditions are favorable. The brothers have been doing a considerable business in this line and are a credit to the state. They are both pleasant and affable and while Colorado would miss them thir success in a greater degree will please many, many friends. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS C. W.

Not Meddling With President's Business, Says Recorder of Deeds. "The report in a New York weekly that I have been trying to set up myself as a leader and that I have meddled with presidential appointments is absolutely false," said Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, in a recent interview. "The truth about the matter is that I have never asked President Taft or Postmaster General Hitchcock to make a presidential appointment. "As to the absurd allegation that I opposed the appointment of J. C. Napier to succeed W. T. Vernon as register of the treasury, it is also false. On the contrary, I told some influential friends of mine that Mr. Napier was one of the best friends Mr. Taft had at the Chicago convention." The genial recorder then changed the conversation to speak of the great prospects of the Odd Fellows in Georgia and of their determination to erect a six story building in Atlanta, Ga., in the near future. CONFERENCE OF METHODISTS Subcommission Meets to Plan For Gen- Subcommission Meets to Plan For General A. M. E. Church Convention. The subcommission of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church began a three days' session at the Allen African Methodist Episcopal church, Kansas City, Mo. Wednesday, March 22, to consider plans for the general conference of the denomination, which will be held at Mechanics' hall, in that city, in May, 1912. The members of the commission are Bishop H. B. Parks, chairman; Bishop J. S. Flipper, Atlanta, Ga.; Revs. John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination; J. M. Gilmore, Cleveland, O.; A. J. Jackson, Waco, Tex., and James Jones, Pine Bluff, Ark. The visitors are being entertained by Rev. William A. Peck, pastor of the Allen church. CANADIAN BAPTISTS GAIN ZEALOUS CHURCH WORKER Bright Future In London, Ont., For Rev. J. Caldwell Nicholas. There has recently settled as pastor of the Horton Street Baptist church, London, Ont., the Rev. J. Caldwell Nicholas, B. A. B. D. He comes excellently equipped for the work and starts under the most encouraging conditions, as his people have already rallied around him. He is a young man and willing to throw all of his powers into his endeavor to build up his church. Rev. Mr. Nicholas is from New Orleans, where he received the greater part of his education, taking his arts at Leland university. To prepare himself for the gospel ministry, to which he felt that he had been called, he came north to Richmond, Va., and took his divinity course at the Virginia Union university, which school offers the best course of the colored Baptist colleges. Desirous of getting the best for use among his people, he came to McMaster university, Toronto, where he did special work in systematic and pastoral theology, at the same time taking a course in voice culture and public reading at the Toronto school of expression. His decision to start his labors in Canada was reached through the leadings of Providence, for little did he dream when leaving for Toronto that he would have settled in a pastorate so far from his native state. On Thursday, March 2, in response to a call from his church, issued to the churches of the Amherstburg association and the city of London, an ordination council met with his people, and after a most thorough examination it was unanimously agreed to proceed with his ordination. His council had some of the strongest men of both races in the denomination on it, and all fellowshiped his statements most heartily. Rev. E. E. Thompson of Windsor and Rev. S. L. McDowell of Toronto were the moderator and clerk, respectively. The latter, who was his classmate at Richmond, preached the ordination sermon. The Baptists of Canada feel elated at having such additions to their ministry and hope to see the other vacant pulpits' filled with just such men. Rev. Mr. Nicholas is a very convincing preacher and has a bright future before him. THE WILLIAMSON HAFFNER CO. ENGRAVERS OUR PRINTERS CUTS TALK DENVER, COLD.

Part Which the Daughters of Men Have Taken In World Movements. Lincoln's Proclamation Only Finished What Harriet Brecher Stowe Had Begun in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." By W. H. CRAIGHEAD. Harrisburg, Pa.—The People's forum in this city has won an enviable place among literary organizations by bringing before its members from time to time some of the most distinguished men and women of the race to deliver lectures and addresses. Among those who have favored the forum in this capacity are Professors George W. Cook, Kelly Miller, W. Bruce Evans and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. At the recent meeting of the forum Mrs. George W. Cook delivered a stirring address on "The Daughters of Men," which proved to be a strong plea for the rights of women. Woman's part in the history of civilization was fully outlined and her well earned as well as inherent right to the ballot in sisted upon. In part Mrs. Cook said: In the rebuilding of ancient Jerusalem women took a part, but the historian rarely dwells upon the incident so significant in itself and so important to be recalled by all womankind. The incident is but typical of what has been taking place in the world throughout all ages and among all peoples. Wherever a great deed has been wrought, wherever the march of progress has been made, women have individual thought and action have made the world better, the daughters of men have ever been at work. Even primitive woman, while her better half was as yet only a huntsman or fisherman or bloodthirsty warrior, built the fire, prepared the meals and in her lonely cave or hut laid the foundation for the refined domestic life and perfectly appointed home which are a part of our present day civilization. The woman would lose half its significance if the feminine character had no part in its composition. Pharaoh puts to death the infant life of a nation, but his daughter's head bends low over the ark of bulrushes, and Moses is saved to lead the children of Israel from the land of bondage. Eve indeed offers to Adam the fatal apple, and Eden is lost to man, but Mary becomes the mother of Jesus, and the new gospel of peace and good will is offered to all the world. Mrs. Cook cited many of the prominent figures of history. Semilramis, Zanobia, Hypatia, Cadilah were all the said, foremost women of the nineteenth century. Coming down to our own times, she declared. "Abraham Lincoln's pen only finished in the emancipation proclamation what Harriet Beecher Stowe's had begun in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.'" Strange and sad as it may seem, it is yet true that the daughters of men through all these ages have been the victims of man made customs and traditions and subordinate to man made statutes and governments. While her work and self sacrifice made luminous the history of civilization, her long borne subjection one of the darkest pages in all this woman's quest. All that women ask is equality of opportunity. It is a cruel and wicked thing to cut off an individual or class from progress and development that might be theirs. Mental development and the full enjoyment of the exercise of all the privileges of citizenship were surely never meant to belong to one half of the race to the exclusion of the other half, while the happiness to be found in a life of action and usefulness in income and employment had no infectivity and ignorance. Not only is it injustice to women themselves to withhold from them their rights, but it is also an injustice to the large class of individuals who are governed by the ballot and affected more or less favorably according to the intelligence and conscience of those who are voters. No halfway measure will suffice. School suffrage and municipal suffrage are all very well, but suffrage on identity is the same as suffrage on identity is the demand of this long robbed half of society. So long as inequality of rights controls the relation of men and women many another evil is bred. The industrial, legal, social and even the domestic status of women all suffer from its baleful influence. Women themselves have been slow to grasp this truth, but no thoughtful women should fail to perceive that near before the law, never in the industries, the trades and the professions, never even in the home except as the goodness of individual man gives it them, will they be accorded fair play until they obtain the ballot. No better argument can be offered in favor of woman's suffrage than results where the system already has an advantage. Arizona, Zackery, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Utah have none of them become demoralized under this natural system, but, on the contrary, seem to flourish as the green bay tree. Would that the women of my race be not one whit behind the women of other races in joining the vanguard who will blaze the path for others to follow. It is always the few—the next age makes them immortal few—who lead in any great reform. Let us have no fear for the final outcome of the woman question. The cause for which we plead is so right and so just that it is very sure of victory. Stewart Gets Liberian Judgeship. Friends of Counselor T. McCants Stewart in the United States, especially those in South Carolina and New York, will doubtless be glad to know that the brilliant Brooklyn lawyer has recently been appointed judge of the supreme court of the Liberian republic. Mr. Stewart left Brooklyn for Honolulu about a dozen years ago, where he became widely known as a barrister of rare ability. From the Hawaiian Islands Mr. Stewart went to Montserrado county, Liberia. In 1907 he was instrumental in organizing the Liberian National Bar association. Mr. Stewart was a member of the board of education in Brooklyn under the regime of Mayor Chapin. He was succeeded in that body by the late Samuel R. Scottron. DISHWASHING SYSTEMATIZED. Expert Housekeeper Offers Valuable Suggestions. For This Task. In the average household the washing of dishes is regarded as the severest and most onerous of all the daily tasks. It comes three times daily, for that matter, in the well ordered household, though, sad to say, there are women who wash the dishes only once a day. Mrs. C. T. Herrick, an authority on good housekeeping methods, recently wrote some valuable advice on the subject of dishwashing, from which these suggestions are taken: Before you wash a single dish or utensil you should have all the soiled articles gathered together and sorted—the silver thrust into a pitcher or laid in a bowl of hot water, the plates and cups emptied, scraped or rinsed; the glasses together, your dish towels and mop and the soap in its soap shaker, your silver polish and bit of flannel at hand to rub off any speck of tarnish or stain you may discover on the silver, the tray on which to range the pieces after they are wiped dry. When all this is done it is a swift business to wash the glasses in the clean hot suds, to give the rinsed silver its dip, to finish up with the china, small pieces and large. As your towel gets wet you do not have to take time and leave the water to cool while you hunt up another towel, for all you will need are laid ready at your hand. Compare this way of washing dishes with the haphazard method or lack of method practiced by some housekeepers, who do the pieces at random, who have nothing in order, but wash the articles as they happen to come, leaving the water to chili while they stop to get some necessary help in the work. Is there any real comparison between the ease and comfort of the two styles of doing the task? COOK PORK WELL Danger of Trichinosis From Eating Raw or Imperfectly Cooked Pork. Cases of illness sometimes occur from eating uncooked or insufficiently cooked pork which is infested with a microscopic parasite commonly known as trichina, or flesh worm, the scientific name being Trichinella spiralis. An average of 1 or 2 per cent of the hogs slaughtered in the United States are infested with this parasite. When transmitted to human beings trichinae may cause serious illness, sometimes resulting in death. Out of about 15,000 cases of trichinosis recorded in medical literature, most of which occurred in Europe, 830 resulted fatally. No method of inspection has yet been devised by which the presence or absence of trichinae in pork can be determined with certainty, and the government meat inspection does not include inspection for this parasite. All persons are accordingly warned by the United States department of agriculture not to eat pork or sausage containing pork, whether or not it has been inspected by federal, state or municipal authorities, until after it has been properly cooked. A temperature of about 160 degrees F. kills the parasite. Therefore pork when properly cooked may be eaten without any danger of infection. Fresh pork should be cooked until it becomes white and is no longer red in color in all portions of the piece, at the center as well as near the surface. Dry salt pork, pickled pork and smoked pork previously salted or pickled, providing the curing is thorough. are practically safe so far as trichinosis is concerned, but as the thoroughness of the curing is not always certain such meat should also be cooked before it is eaten. Self Clearing Tea Table How would you like to have a tea table that "clears away" itself? The one shown in the illustration has been presented to Sir John Knill, ex-lord mayor of London, by the city corpora- tion. It was designed according to special order. By an ingenious device the tea things can be made to disappear almost magically, and the table resumes a normal appearance. For tired or indolent housewives or maid-servants this table is recommended as a labor saver. It seems unfortunate that when the truly fine and dainty collars and jabots are out of reach of the purse so many women buy cheap and inexpensive imitations of the expensive trifles. And yet these costly pieces of neckwear are usually easily made at a comparatively reasonable cost if one has skill with the needle and is willing to expend both time and patience. A very beautiful flat collar may be made from a small piece of sheer white lawn and finished with a frill of fine valenciennes. A few sprays of hand embroidered flowers will add an air of daintiness, besides make it look more expensive. However, it is necessary first to purchase a pattern which fits perfectly before cutting the material. THE STATESMAN—3 GROWTH OF SHARP STREET CHURCH Oldest of Its Faith Among Afro-Americans In United States. HAS GIVEN MUCH TO CHARITY Record of the Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Whose Pastorate at Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church In Baltimore For Six Years Has Been Unprecedented. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore.—Many have proclaimed this "the day of the young man." Our age, with its intense mental and physical activities, calls for the spirit of youth in every phase of life. However this may be, the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., pastor of the Sharp Street Memorial M. E. church, a young man of thirty-three summers, has demonstrated the worth of young men in positions involving large responsibilities. Dr. Hughes is the pastor of one of the oldest Negro congregations in America, an organization that dates back to 1802. This church has grown in wealth and influence until today it has a membership of 1,200 and a property valuation of $156,000. The Sharp Street church has long been a great religious center and has JOHN H. BURTON REV. DR. W. A. C. HUGHES. fostered many race movements which have told mightily in the uplift of our people, chief among which was the organization of the Washington conference of the M. E. church. For six years this energetic young minister has been the pastor of the church. This is the longest pastorate of the church, and the officiary pronounces it the most prosperous period of its history. Dr. Hughes has striven to make the church a great intellectual center as well as religious and from time to time has secured men of the foremost rank to deliver lectures. Financially he has led the forces with the result of averaging $800 per month for six years. The benevolent work of the church has increased 100 per cent, and this year the church will give to charity, missions and conference collections at least $1,700 and besides contribute to the Carnegie fund of Morgan college $530. As an expounder of the gospel Dr. Hughes is convincing and through his ministry here has won nearly 500 souls to Christ. Besides the large amount of work he does in his church, he stands among the foremost of our city in civic and social movements affecting racial life, and he has become so thoroughly identified with the community life of Baltimore that in these days of his strength and vigor it would be a loss were he removed. As an expression of confidence in the leadership of their pastor the church has elected a strong delegation to visit the session of the annual conference in March and pray the bishop for the return of Dr. Hughes, and already preparations are being made for a big banquet to signalize what the church expects to be the beginning of the seventh year of a strong, intelligent, unselfish ministry. Veteran Guards' Second Anniversary. The event in military circles in Brooklyn for the week ending March 18 was the second military entertainment and dance of Company A. veteran guards, held at the company's headquarters in Herkimer street. The guard made a fine showing, and their appearance in the grand march with full regalia created much enthusiasm. Lieutenant Denton and Captain Manning with their associates composed the committee of arrangements. No Color Line Drawn at Cornell. Mrs. Gertrude Marton, matron in charge at Cornell university and head of Sage college, denies the allegations of James B. Clarke that colored girls are discriminated against by the other students at the university. "It is not true that we have placed a ban on colored girls at Sage college, and there is no color line drawn at Cornell university," she says. Abstracts of title, wills, deed and all legal matters pertaining to real and personal property carefully looked after.

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

The facts as related in the daily press tend to the opinion that Booker T. Washington is the victim of a misunderstanding, largely due to the hastiness of a pugnacious German. His presence in the New York apartment house hallway is easily accounted for by his search for the Tuskegee Institute auditor, and his whole life is a guarantee that he is the last man in the world to turn "peeping Tom." Regrettable as the incident is, it has this large grain of comfort, that the time of his need brought to Mr. Washington the strong support of such men as Andrew Carnegie and Seth Low. It is gratifying to know that a colored man has so conducted himself as to win the honest friendship of such men. In an equal measure is it gratifying to see that the daily press has not preached a sermon on the utter deprivation of the Negro, taking its text from the first reports of the matter. There seems to be something of improvement in the relations of the DENVER WOMAN A NATIONAL SUCCESS DENVER WOMAN A NATIONAL SUCCESS Five years ago The Statesman an nounced the beginning here in this city of a class conducted by Madam T. D. Perkins for the care of the scalp and for the beautifying of the hair. From time to time we have informed our readers of the growth of her business. Now with the fifth year at hand, she has just returned from a six months' tour of the East that was more in the nature of a triumphal march than a woman's business venture. Being a Denverite, the city is deeply interested in the success she has won. Yet even it which has been the scene of many years of her work in various lines, had not expected such a rapid growth nor such proficiency. Where in the beginning she herself with her own hands demonstrated her treatments and applied her preparations, she now does a mail order business exclusively, demonstrating only when she is making a stop in a city by way of advertisement, and of making certain that h goods are used as directed. That she has so largely drawn upon the whole 6 19 country for patrons and retains all who use her remedies and wins the good will and patronage of their friends, is testimony enough of the efficiency of her methods. She is now selling T. D. P. remedies in every state in the Union. While away she visited Buxton, Iowa, Chicago, Wilmington, Delaware, Washington, Richmond and Philadelphia. In Buxton she delivered two lectures on the care of the hair, in Wilmington one, and in Philadelphia one. In the latter place she spoke to 60% women, and so interested were they that a part of them stood the discomfort of being without seats throughout the three hours she lectured. Speaking of the places she visited, Madam Perkins said to a Statesman representative that Buxton, Iowa, with its majority of colored citizens, was a sight worth seeing. It has all the activities of any city, stores, churches and social organizations. Two families, the Foster and the Gaines families, are wealthy. The Y. M. C. A., superintended by Mr. Brown of Topeka, is well provided with apparatus and literature. The town band, conducted by Richard Oliver, himself a composer, is a credit. The postoffice employes, half the company traces when such an incident hastens so swiftly to a satisfactory solution. THE DEATH OF MOFFAT. The whole community mourns David H. Moffat and especially those who knew him personally. Among these are several colored citizens. No greater tribute to accomplishment could be paid than the universal grief. No greater monument could be erected than the sense of personal loss that many feel now that he is gone. He was ever known as a true friend, a help in the time of storm for those he esteemed. His work for Colorado has been great. He vied with any man in his endeavor for his home state and his home city. Much as he was in this world's goods, he was far richer in the sum of accomplishment which he made possible for others. His life, even in his latter years, was unselfish; he was a model millionaire and Colorado can well say of him that he was a good son. May his good works bear fuller and fuller fruition. store clerks, teachers and the like are colored. A good hotel is conducted by John Perkins and mother. Wilmington, Delaware, is a city mostly made up of old inhabitants. Of its 8,000 Negroes, 3,000 are church goers. Its professional men are doing well, one doctor owning and occupying a home that will vie with the finer mansions of Denver. Philadelphia with its 100,000 Negroes offers a real study. Here Madam Perkins has over 600 customers. She treated 300 new ones during her stay and turned away hundreds. Prejudice is on the increase there, with the Poles, Greeks and Italians making inroads on many occupations formerly exclusively ours. However, Negroes, with their association of clerks and stenographers, insurance business and diversity of businesses, make a good showing. She could not but comment upon the tendency among colored people to divide along lines of color, a condition that does not exist in the West. In Washington, apart from the in- 2 terest that attaches to the usual sights, she found a wonderful work being done by Nannie Burroughs, who is secretary of the National Baptist Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Board. She is president of the training school, with 85 students enrolled, among them Miss Battle of this city. There she teaches domestic science, business branches, missionary work, millinery and allied branches. The school is in dire need of larger quarters, for it has 500 students that would enroll as soon as accommodations permit. A most hopeful situation prevails in Washington, marked especially by the elegant homes. In Richmond the struggle of the True Reformers to recover their former prestige is all engrossing. Through their connection with the bank and property holdings, the effect of their struggle is widespread. She speaks in the highest terms of John Mitchell Jr., editor and banker. His bank is a model in appearance, and Mr. Mitchell ranks well as a business man in his community. A feature of Madam Perkins' business is the wide use she makes of the colored press. She has contracts with several eastern papers which will exploit her goods for several months to come. THE STATESMAN—4 HOUSES AND AND ROOMS HOMES FOR COLORED PEOPLE. CHEAPER THAN RENT.

City News ```markdown ``` Patriotic Party Last Saturday evening fourteen ladies responded to an invitation extended by Mrs. Lillie Lewis for a party at her residence, 119 23rd street. In keeping with the spirit of the times it was patriotic in its appointment. The decorations, place cards in the dining room and souvenirrs were the tri-colors. The beautiful centerpiece for the table was a miniature camping ground, with a tent from which floated Old Glory and a sentinel standing near keeping the vigil. As the ladies were seated at the table enjoying the sumptuous repast for which the hostess is noted in preparifig, about 9 o'clock a surprise was sprung by the appearance of their husbands, who had been bidden without the knowledge of their wives. Soon after their arrival the entire guest was ushered into another room where stood a beautifully decorated table groaning under the weight of a huge birthday cake with candles lighted, the occasion being the celebration of Mrs. Odile Sprague's natal day. A silver loving cup was passed the gentlemen, when each toasted and drank to her health, after which followed the cake cutting and other delicacies of the season. Music added to the evening's enjoyment. Those who parook of this delightful hospitality were Mesdames A. Gaines, Quown. DePriest, Ingram, Keelan, Locke, C. Joseph, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Johnson, Rev. and Mrs. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. C. Jackson, Dr. and Mrs. P. E. Spratlin, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sprague. You are invited THE SPRING MILLE TUESDAY, MAR Mrs. W. A.

Institution Founded by Dr. Calvin Scott Brown, an Alumnus of Shaw University, Has Demonstrated Its Worth In Uplift of People In the Community, Had Small Beginning. Winton, N. C.—That from obscure ranks come the men and women who are the greatest contributors to the material uplift of the human family is a truth that is accentuated in the life of Dr. Calvin Scott Brown, who is a unique character in the affairs of the Afro-American people of North Carolina. When a mere lad he entered Shaw university, having only $5 toward his expenses. He of course was compelled to experience things that were common to the struggling student who had little money. Upon one occasion during his first year at this school he exhibited such ability that a philan- PETER H. DR. CALVIN SCOTT BROWN. thropic friend from the north was attracted by his earnestness and zeal and rendered him assistance. Twenty-four years ago, when he was graduated from Shaw university, the president gave him $10 and commanded him to go down to a neglected portion of North Carolina and build a school. He laughed heartily and said: "Are you serious, Mr. President? What can be done with $10?" And the president replied, "It is exactly $10 more than I had when I came to Raleigh after the war and began to build this great institution." A long story is briefly told when we remember that the school has been built and that $10 was the first of many offerings which made possible its fruitful growth. Two hundred students are in attendance. Many of them go to the higher institutions to complete their education as lawyers, physicians, teachers, bankers and ministers to their race. When Dr. Brown went to Winton. N. C., to erect this school he was discouraged because of the condition of affairs in the community, but through his great work Waters Normal institute has entered fully into the life of the community and today the people have better homes and are more prosperous than ever before in the history of Winton. A prominent white man who is cashier of the bank of that town, when asked by a traveling salesman the standing of the school, said: BOYS' DORMITORY AT WATERS NORMAL INSTITUTE. "What! That school? Certainly. That school is worth more than $100,000 to this town." Dr. Brown is a graduate from the college and theological departments of Shaw university, and because of his ability and exceptional work he has received the honorary degrees of A. M. and D. D. He is among the best theologians of the race, a deep thinker, scholar and forcible speaker. Thousands of copies of his addresses have been printed and distributed. His executive ability is evidenced in many activities of the race. He is president of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission convention, secretary of the grand lodge of Masons, editor of the Baptist Sentinel, Raleigh, and pastor of four churches. As principal of the institution, which is doing so much for the conserving of the elements that will make the race not to be always dependent, he is among the leading educators. His plant is rapidly developing, and the main building, which is brick, has the best auditorium in this section of North Carolina. Owing to the school being in an agricultural section Dr. Brown is planning for a department to be given to scientific agricultural courses. BAPTIST SCHOOL OF HIGH IDEALS Academy In Jacksonville Has Many Helpful Features. MECCA FOR WINTER TOURISTS Under the Able and Effective Leadership of President N. W. Collier the Institution Has Steadily Grown Influence and Usefulness—Denominational Lines May Be Eliminated. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Jacksonville, Fla.—The Florida Baptist academy is a splendid tribute to the energy and thriftiness of Afro-Americans. The growth of the institution, with its plant and equipment, which is conservatively estimated at $75,000, is largely due to the exceptional qualifications of its honored president, Professor N. W. Collier. By diligence and strict attention to the many duties which devolve upon him as the directing head of the school Mr. Collier has won many friends for the school. The school is fortunate in being located in a picturesque section of the city. As Florida may justly be called the gateway to the tourist section of the south, any number of prominent educators and travelers from the north visit the academy on their annual pilgrimages to this section during the winter season. The remarkable progress of the school has elicited the highest commendation from those visiting it, from ex-President Roosevelt down to the careworn veteran of the civil war from the north. People who are prominent in the educational realm admit that this work is absolutely imperative to conserve the forces of the young people, especially in Florida, if they are to become citizens of the highest ideals. The atmosphere within a radius of a mile of the academy reminds one of being near an educational movement effectively molding lives for an erand through life that does not blight. A. E. PRESIDENT N. W. COLLIER. The activity of the student body, actuated by the strong Christian environment and principles, the basis of work of renown, is forcefully evidenced in the life of Jacksonville. The graduates engaged in professions, commerce and trades are highly successful and are conspicuous in their respective communities because of their character for good and thorough preparation for a life of productive work. The broadness of the president is exemplified in the faculty being members of various denominations and the student body being the same. Plans are now being carefully considered where the scope of the school will be such that the denominational phase, as it is believed by some to be only for those of the Baptist inclination, will interest people of all denominations. It is now largely upon this scale. Because of such ennobling ideas permeating the entire faculty and officiary and the high standard of proficiency of those identified with the academy the growth has been so steady and assuring of the need of such a movement in Florida that these exigencies require a large brick building at once. A feature that is very helpful to the boys is the military regulations of the school. The girls indulge in all healthy gymnastic exercises, and student life upon this campus invigorates the most stupid fellow and gives him a broader conception of the possibilities of becoming a desirable factor in working out honestly the problems of life. Miss S. A. Blocker, Professor Collier's assistant, is a modern Ruth. Without this modest Christian and businesslike woman the institution would be shorn of much of the wholesome influence which it possesses. How Governor Dix Can Make Good. If the administration of Governor John A. Dix of New York can be credited with an Afro-American battalion he will be regarded as a true friend of the race, says the Brooklyn Eye. If this is done the thousands of votes which Afro-Americans cast for him last fall will not have been deposited in vain.

NOTICE THE COMING BOXING SHOW. In the next few days the boys of this city are going to start in hard training for the coming boxing tournament, which will be held at East Turner hall. Will give date in next week's issue. Boys wishing to enter call at R. M. A. club. A COLORED BOY SCORING IN WHITE COMPANY. Leroy L. Johnson, a colored boy who is playing the part of a colored butler in "A Fool There Was," at Mcvickers' theatre, Chicago, is quite a hit, as he is so original, and Mr. Robert Hillard, star of the production, must be given credit for properly presenting that which is genuine in an American play. A NEGRO THEATRE FOR DENVER Will we ever have a theatre in this city of Denver? Well, I hope so; at least, we can try to have one, and I think that by early summer we will have one, as there is a slight rumor going around to that effect. KELLY & DAVIS. Dude Kelly and Davis, who have been playing in the New England states with much success, will soon be back in New York city to open at the Crescent theatre. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE. The famous negro violinist and splverio of the race, is doing a great concert turn in the South and sends regards to friends in Denver and says the South for his work is very prosperous. DE ROSE. The great negro female impersonator opened the bill at the Crescent theatre, New York, last week with a comic operatic number and proved to be the hit of the bill. THE K. C. GIANTS IN ACTION. Another year of success is due the Kansas City Giants baseball club, under the management of Kansas Jack Johnson. It is expected that the season will be the best in the history of the club. Most of the boys of 1909-10 will play this season, as they are the boys who made the team famous in the past few years. They will play none but the best this season. NEW GRAND OPENED AT CHICAGO. The new Grand theatre of Chicago opened last Monday, and declared by competent critics to be the best and finest theatre in the United States for the colored people. It will be run as a first class vaudeville house, performances from 7 p. m. until 12 o'clock p. m. The new Grand is located on State street, 3110-3112, with a seating capacity of 800 and every patron will be treated with the utmost courtesy. The theatre building architectually is a work of art and is a great addition to the beauty of that neighborhood of 31st and State street, murphy and Francis are heading the bill for this opening week. VINCENT WINS OVER SCHULTZ. Chicago—The Pekin Theatre Co. Chicago. — The Pemberton man. Dear Sir, Mr. Pryor. I am quite glad to state that my house is still the leader of all negro theatres in this city, and many others. I have added a few new attractions, which I find are going big, and that is on every Tuesday and Friday night of each week I pull off a wrestling bout. This man Illa Vincent, the only negro wrestler in the world, is certainly a wonder. He threw William Schultz the German navy champ, in the best two out of three last week, and is willing to meet all comers, and I am back of him pretty strong myself. A NEW WRESTLING MAT FOR R. M. A. CLUB. In the next few weeks the boys will have the pleasure of taking lessons in wrestling under Bud Thomas as soon as the new mat is completed for the gym. The only negro ventriloquist in high class vaudeville is Frank Rogers, who is playing the Orpheum this week with much success. Mr. Rogers has as good an act as one would want to see, and when it comes to being clever, well, he more than holds his own. He works with two little dummies, white and black, and if he don't make his audiences laugh they are deaf. And in fact he is about as clever as the best of them and the only negro who ever was allowed to enter vaudeville with such a neat little act as the one he is doing himself. And he is also due much credit, for he has met with much rebuke and still pushed ahead to where he is today, and still going up. J. W. COOPER AND A. G. BROOKS Two clever ventriloquists, had the theatre goers of Brooklyn going last week. Both played in the same city but just across the street from one another, so that both houses were jammed, as people would go to both so as to compare the boys in their work, which was hard to decide. JACK JOHNSON. Well, Jack is still burning up gasoline getting in readiness for his big race which will come off some time in the next few days. Jack made 92 miles in 64 minutes the other day and said that he was only trotting, and said you should see me run. THE INVINCIBLE TRIO. James Johnson, Eddie Mackey and Bert Jones, who are now on the Webster circuit, are there with much success. Two of the boys, Johnson and Mackey, are totally blind and they happen to be good smart comedians, and all of Canada is going wild about them. JOHN RUCKER. The old wizard comedian, is still in the field singing his latest song hits, just written for him, last week at the Crescent theatre, New York, and going big. The name of songs are "Next Week" and "You Sure Done Lost Your Mind." JOHNSON & LANGFORD. Jack Johnson has sent word to promoter Hugh McIntosh that before he signs a contract to meet Langford for the championship of the world in London, he must be guaranteed a purse of $30,000, win, lose or draw, and you can be sure he'll get the sum he asks. In making this demand Johnson is only doing what others have done. When Tommy Burns fought Johnson he demanded and received $30,000, and Johnson's share was only $5,000, though he was the winner. And when the time comes Langford will take the $5,000 and the opportunity to meet Jack Johnson. But Samuel will not come out a winner. In fact, when he meets Jack he will learn more new things about the art of boxing than he has ever imagined in his wildest dreams. Sam has been a wonder with the never wastes and has beens. Some day he will meet an iser and it will be a long sad farewell for Samuel Langford. THTE PEKIN DANCING CONTEST March 30th, East Turner. Are you coming?

ENTERTAINING AT THE R. M. A A. CLUB. These are bright days at the club. Every minute spent there is a true pleasure, always something do'ng. New piano players come to the club constantly, all new songs are tried and introduced at the Rocky Mountain club. Everybody acts the part of a gentleman and you are always mingling with gentlemen. The pool parlor is forever crowded and the gymnasium the same way, and if you are a stranger in Denver come down and get in the whirl of fun and you won't miss it much. Ladies will have a day after Lent. Look out, girls. BOB WATKINS AND BATTLING THOMPSON. Bob Watkins, the old timer around Denver and at one time considered one the best heavyweight boxers in the business, says that he is not all in and to prove it he is willing to meet Battling Thompson, the champion of the Ninth Cavalry. JOCKEY WILLIAMS HURT IN AUSTRALIA. Herry Williams, the clever negro rider of this country who is now riding in Australia, was badly hurt while in a handicap race some time ago. He was riding on the inside next to the fence when another jockey forced him into the fence, the horse becoming frightened lunged into the fence, throwing Williams, and he won't be able to ride for at least two months. THE STATESMAN----8 S ND GE BY LEON PRYOR THE STAGE AS I SEE IT. I have been asked by different persons if I thought that the stage was a fit profession for a young lady. Well, we all have our ideas about the different positions in life of other people. Yes, I am heartily in favor of any young, ambitious woman going on the stage. It is a great teacher and always a hard study. Of course some people look at the stage for women in another light altogether. But I think the stage a more appropriate place for ladies than a lot of other positions that some of them are now holding.

PRAIRIE TRAIL PRAIRIE TRAIL PROGRAMME my opinion there are a number of young women today who had a desire to go on the stage and were stopped by their parents or friends. Greatly against their will, they then would become sullen and mean and in the end a bright future would be blotted on account of some one saying the stage is not the place for that girl. And again I say to parents, if you have boys and girls whose desire is to become an actor or actress, give them a chance. It is a life profession, the same as any other profession, and a good one at that. And I think our negro stage people are the highest salaried people professionally in the negro race.
