John Atkins, who has been in feeble health for some time, departed this life March 22. Funeral was held at the A. M. E. church Saturday at 3 p.m. The deceased was a resident of Wichita, Kan., and was 36 years old was well liked by all who knew him. The funeral was conducted by Rev J. H. Brown. The K. of Ps held their annual thanksgiving at the A. M. E. church. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Brown. It was one that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it, as it was said by many that it was a masterly piece of deep thought and research. The order played an important part, both in parade and in the various parts of the program. The offering excelled by far any previous offering of the kind. There were several members as well as ladies over from Raton, N. M. All returned home Monday feeling glad of their visit to Trinidad, as the people of Trinidad know how to greet their friends with a cordial welcome. The pastor and members of the A. M. E. church are getting things in line looking to the coming of Rev. J. P. Howard, the great preaching and singing evangelist. Rev. J. H. Brown has been invited to preach the K. of P. sermon at Raton on the first Sunday in May. Rev. and Mrs. Chas. Henry went to Walsenburg on Sunday to conduct the K. of P. sermon. They report having a good time. The Masons held one of the most interesting meetings on the 21st at their hall that has been our privilege to look upon this year. They are progressing nicely upon all lines. A sumptuous report was served after the lodge closed. The sick are Mrs. J. H. Booker, Mrs. Hobson, Mrs. E. P. Ferguson and Mrs. Smith. MILLER & GREEN. Irwin Miller and Cliff Green, a team that has made such a big hit up and down State street, Chicago, will go to Cinnnacht, where they open at Ollie Dempsey's Pekin theatre April 3rd, for a run of three weeks. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 1. 1911 Our Sacrifice Of Blood Our Sacrifice Of Blood NEGRO SOLDIERS IN THE WARS OF THE REPUBLIC. (By JOHN E. BRUCE.) (Written Expressly for The Denver Statesman.) Some years ago I wrote a series of articles on this subject for an Ohio newspaper and will begin where I left off, a series for the Denver Statesman. I believe Negroes are the only people in this country who are not preserving a consecutive historical record of Negro achievement in many departments of laudable endeavor. Outside of the Negro Academy at Washington, D. C., which was founded by Rev. A. A. Crummell, one of the most scholarly clergymen in his lifetime in this country, and the Monograph company, established by Prof. J. W. Cromwell and R. L. Pendleton, Esq., for the publication of rare documents of historical value to the Negro. I know of no other agencies whose mission and purpose it is to gether together the fugitive scraps of history concerning the Negro in this country and putting them in shape for the use and benefit of coming generations. One of the newest books published, treating upon the Negro sodier, is "The Black Philanx," by Col. Jas. T. Wilson, himself a soldier and scholar who has seen service in the army of Venezuela and in the United States. It is packed full of useful historical data concerning the Negro as a soldier, in all the wars in this country, and any colored man who did not purchase a copy of this book when it was first published some 25 or 30 years ago, was either foolish or he did not realize how much such a book would appreciate in value as the years passed. It was my good fortune to have been presented by the author with a copy of "The Black Phalanx" in Washington, D. C., in the early eighties, and this is one of two books that I do not lend. The other is Miss Wheatley's poems, published in 1773. At the time when I wrote the first series of these articles, I had the good fortune to have the friendly and sympathetic aid of an ex-union officer who was at the head of a division in the U. S. pension office at Washington, where all the facts relating to the enlistment, names given, when enlisting, place of enlisting, etc., of colored men was on file, as well as a number of, egroes serving in the army, number of battles in which they engaged, when and where fought and names of the principal officers and regimental surgeons attached. If this bureau or division still exists it will be identified with "the army and navy survivors' division." Its card system is almost if not entirely perfect, and many widows and orphans have been enabled, through their attorneys, to secure the necessary data to complete their claims for pensions granted. For instance: Sam Henson, a slave, ran away from his master in the state of Maryland, found his way to camp William Penn in Pennsylvania, enlisted in one of the many Negro regiments, sent out from there as Henry Williams. Sam's wife heard as the war progressed that he had joined the Yankees and assumed that he joined as Sam Henson. Sam is eventually shot trying to stop a rebel bullet somewhere, and the news of his death is communicated to his wife in that inscrutable manner in which news reaches the Negro here as in far off Africa, where there is neither wireless telegraphy, telephone nor plain telegraph. Anyhow she hears her Sam got shot at Milliken's Bend, or some other Bend, and realizes that she is a widow. She goes to Washington, finds employment, saves a little money and hires a claim agent, who requires the payment of $10 ddown as his fee. He takes his notes, after quizzing Mrs. Henson as to her husband, full name, age as near as she can give it, color, distinguishing marks, if any, etc. etc. goes to the army and navy survivors' division, consults its card index and finds that Sam Henson was killed as Henry Wilson, corporal of Co. G. Slxth U. S. colored troops, enlisted May 19, 1864, Camp William Penn, Pa., shot at battle of Milliken's Bend, etc. The rest is easy and the widow hends out another $10, signs the application blank, and waits, as they all do, for the machinery of this great DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and. Personal Mention Continued on Page Five KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TURN OUT. The Knights of Pythias to the number of 100, with 60 ladies, were present at the Peoples' Presbyterian church on last Sunday afternoon, that being the occasion of their annual Thanksgiving sermon. The Knights were assembled in three lodges, the ladies in three courts, all led by the Uniform Rank under command of Capt. Thos. Douglas. The National Guard band furnished music. It was a brave array they made with the red plumes and glistening swords of the Aetna company leading the van. Their evolutions were much commented upon by the spectators along the route. The program was lengthy, containing addresses by Dr. S. A. Huff, grand chancellor, Dr. Westbrook and the preacher of the day, Rev. Hazell. The sermon of the last was a treat, especially to the order. It was replete with allusions to the duty and beauties of knighthood, as well as portraying beautifully the origin of the order. But the speaker was not content with simply preaching a sermon based upon the order, but went further and made the occasion an opportunity to speak for God. The advice, the gospel and the lesson made a wonderful trilogy and won for Rev. Hazell the grateful praise of the order and congregation. W. C. Blackwell of Prgress lodge No. 12 was the Chancellor Commander acting for the day. The ladies were represented on the program by Mrs. Dan Williams, who is the state deputy. Their greatly increased number and excellent appearance made them marked in a parade already good. The music by the choir and solo by Mrs. Pearl Ross were appreciated. The major of the Colorado Batalion A. R. Butler and staff accompanied the company. The assembly was made notable by the presence of two other grand officers, C. S. Muse, grand keeper of records and seal, and Chas. Young, grand prelate. The Self Improvement and Social club met with Mrs. C. E. Jones at 3763 Franklin street on last Monday. As it was literary day and because of the season of the year, the following sacred Lenten program was rendered: Quotations from the Bible by the club. Scripture reading, Mrs. L. E. Carson. Song, Abide With Me, Club. Paper, The Lenten Season, Mrs. J. R Contee. Solo, Face to Face, Mrs. M. C. Travick. Paper, Woman's Influence for Good. Mrs. Edwards. Spelling Bee. Critic's report. Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Warfield of the Carnation Art club and Miss Snowton were visitors of the afternoon. They all gave good talks, which were well received. Miss Snowton favored the club with a selection from Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The hostess, Mrs. Jones, was surprised with a stork shower by the club. Many pretty gifts were received. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Holly at 2922 Glenarm place. Mrs. J. T. Hammond has recovered from her recent indisposition. Miss Stonacker of Columbus, Ohio, has come to make her home in this city. Mr. George Young left Saturday for San Diego, Cal. to join his boat, the battleship Buffalo. LADIES' DAY AT THE Y. M. C. B. The Taka Art club presents its ladies' day program at the Y. M. C. B. tomorrow at 4 p.m. The ladies' days are among the most interesting of the association. You will miss a splendid most if you miss this program tomorrow. government to move and grind out $12 or $24 every quarter for her in part payment for the life of her husband, Sari Henson, alias Henry Williams. There may be a great many colored women who lost husbands and sons in the rebellion who have never received a penny of pension money, simply because they have not known how to proceed to get one and because the government won't tell them. But I am digressing. I started out to say that I will write a series of brief articles on the Negro soldier for this newspaper, commencing with the next issue, and will try to make them as interesting as I know how. I hope the progressive Negroes of Denver will organize a club or society to work independently or in conjunction with the Negro Academy at Washington in the gathering of accurate historical data concerning the Negro in the state of Colorado, or with the Society for Historical Research, organized at Yonkers, N. Y. A. A. Schornburg, secretary, 215 W. 115th street, New York City. This society will soon introduce a series of picture postal cards of noted Negroes and motto cards with the sayings of noted Negro scholars, suitable for framing, which will be sold at a small cost. Patriotic Negroes will want these cards for their homes and for the inspiration which they will surely give. General Conference Preparations The meeting of the General Conference commission and the presiding elders' council at Kansas City, Mo., last week was a success. The commission has succeeded in securing the great hippodrome, for the meeting place of the conference during its session and the contract is sealed. The members of the Sub. commission present were Bishops B. F. Lee, D. D., and Bishop H. B. Perkins, D. D., Rev. John Hust, financial secretary; Prof. Jackson, Texas; Rev. Jones, Arkansas, and Rev. Gilliner of Ohio. At night on the 22nd the members of the local committee tendered the sub-committee a reception which was largely attended. Prof. H. T. Neeling was tostmaster of the occasion and proved indeed to be a pleasant Czar. The presiding elders' council met Thursday, the 23rd inst., and was called to order and presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D., of Chicago, who is now presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal. The bishop very forcefully and pleasantly laid out the work and shaped the policy which he expected to carry out, with the assistance of his cabinet of the presiding elders. The following presiding elders were present: Colorado, Rev. J. C. C Owens, Arizona, Rev. W. H. Prince; Missouri, Rev. N. C. Busan and Rev J. D. Barkesdale; Southwest Missouri, Rev. W. B. Brooks and Rev. M. Collins; North Missouri conference, Rev. M. S. Bryant, Rev. R. L. Beel and Rev Williams; Puget Sound conference, Rev. C. N. Douglass. After fixing the apportionment of educational money needed to meet immediate demands of Ward Hall, the bishop announced the time of the meeting of the conferences as follows: Puget Sound conference, Aug. 9, 1911, at Seattle, Wash. California conference, Aug. 23, 1911, at Los Angeles, Calif. Arizona conference, Aug. 30, Phoenix, Ariz. Colorado conference, Denver, Colo. Sept. 6, 1911.

Wednesday night at the residence of Wayman Ward the "Crusher" club demonstrated their ability to entertain. The club not only kept up to its standard but advanced to the lead of all others. The form of entertainment was very unique, the invitations read R. S. V. P., meaning refreshments served very promptly, and at the appointed time, 8:30 o'clock, the guests were seated and served by couples. Everybody was on time. Tables were arranged in each room and members of the club in white jackets acted as waiters, which positions they filled with much credit. The luncheon consisted of five courses and prepared by ladies of the Mite Missionary society, which is proof in itself that everything was the best and enjoyed by all. Owing to a shortage of boys, after the second course the boys drew lots for their next course partners, which was very acceptable to those young ladies who were without company. After the repast some sought cozy corners, but were not allowed to enjoy them on account of the "breakers" who made it their business to disturb the peaceful. It was shown that a pleasant evening can be spent without dancing or cards and all present voted the club many thanks for the evening. Wayman Ward seemed to think that the ladies owed him more than the other members, so he stood at the door as they passed out, gallantly trying to collect. Some paid willingly, others said "I O. U." One of Denver's two colored dentists performed a most difficult extraction last week, removing a tooth which fifteen dentists, among them some of the best in the city, had refused to touch. On page three of this paper there will be found a list of colored professional men, lawyers, doctors and dentists. We have no intention of making invidious comparisons between those therein mentioned and other professional men of the city but there are to their credit just such successes as the one above recorded. Colored citizens can well afford to patronize men whose services have been so successful as to win the patronage of white people who have hundreds to pick from. Lawyer W. B. Townsend left the city Tuesday night for a six weeks' trip east. He is gone on legal business, having been retained to look after the settlement of an estate in a city near Baltimore. He will visit the principal eastern cities before returning home. The Thurman W. C. T. U. will meet at Central Baptist church Friday afternoon, April 7th, at 2:30. All persons interested in the work are urged to attend. Mrs. Lizzie M. Froman, president. Mrs. E. Goens, secretary. Alexander Graham has been ill and is better. Jos. Alexander has been down with rheumatism for a week. Mrs. Elliston has been ill with threatened pneumonia and is better. The charter for the new Household of Ruth has been received. Mrs. I. C. McKenzie is the presiding officer. The lodge numbers nearly fifty members. Dr. Faulkner has been numbered among the sick this week. Complimentary to Mrs. Will Baker and Mrs. John Carrie. Mrs. S. I. Contee was the clever hostess at a charming luncheon on Saturday. Her other guests were Mesdames Hill, Walker, Skillern, Askwood, Porter, Baptiste, Batley, Jackson, Robinson, Froman, Tinley, Cox, Stewart, Downing and Ford. WOMEN! WAIT! STOP! LISTEN! READ!

After reading Madam Perkins' advertisement in "The Philadelphia Tribune," I called to see her and had the first treatment at her office. I have been using her wonderful scalp treatment for one year and find it has no equal. It is all that it is advertised to be, and it is so wonderful that I can hardly find words to express just how great it is. My hair was very short and very thin and full of dandruff.

I don't think I can get along without your treatment. My hair is growing so nicely and has stopped falling out altogether and is looking fine. You can send this treatment as soon as you can. Yours truly, Mrs. Anna M. Hunt. DO NOT WRITE UNLESS YOU MEAN BUSINESS DELAWARE SOUTH CAROLINA. Sumter, S. C., Dec. 5th, 1910. Dear Madam Perkins: The goods were received and I am just as proud of the condition of my hair as I can be. I have been using your treatment exactly one year, and it has helped my hair just wonderfully. My hair has grown so much, and it looks so nice. I have had several friends to ask me about it. I guess in the near future you will have some more members added to your class from the state of South Carolina. I cannot praise you enough. Before I began using your treatment, why my hair would not grow. It stayed just one length and the ends of my hair were all split. Now I do not see a split end and my hair feels like silk. Anyone who has any trouble with their hair falling out ought certainly to write you and begin your wonderful treatment, for, indeed, your treatment is the best treatment for the hair that I have ever known. You may use my letter any way you wish. If it will cause some others to try your treatment I shall be very glad. Hoping you will continue to have success in your work, I am, NORTH CAROLINA. Mrs. T. D. Perkins. Dear Madam: I have tried your scalp treatment and I am perfectly delighted with it. My hair is much thicker and growing and in a very healthy condition. I will be sending for another next month, as I never want to be without it. I will send in good time. I can arrange my hair nicely now, and it will stay where I put it. Before using your treatment it would not do this. I am indeed proud of my hair. ARKANSAS. Conway, Ark., Nov. 30, 1909. Mrs. T. D. Perkins. Dear Madam: I am indeed sorry I can't hear from you. This is the second time I have written you, and the last I heard of you you were going West, but I am indeed proud to say that my hair is doing fine under your treatment. I would never regret any- ITE UNLESS YOU thing for the way it is growing, and I intend to use your treatment as long as I can keep in touch with you. Hoping an early reply, I remain as ever yours. Lizzie Tardy. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Washington, D. C., April 16, 1910. Dear Madam Perkins: I write you these few lines to let you know how nicely my hair is getting on; it is doing fine, and I am very well pleased with your treatment. It has stopped my hair from falling out and breaking off, and my hair is growing much thicker. I am so glad I know of your treatment. I feel every woman should know of your treatment, as the Bible reads that a woman's glory is her hair. There are so many that do not know how to obtain the glory. I trust you will live long, for you are doing a noble work for our women. Madam Perkins before treatment RHODE ISLAND. Newport, R. I., Dec. 1st, 1910. Madam Perkins: I was the recipient of my goods yesterday and I thank you so much. I must also tell you how delighted I am with my hair within the last month. I declare, I have never been so happy. I have used your food for nine months and can truthfully say it is wonderful, and I will never be without it. I would also like my name and address on your list. I am anxious to get home to show my head. I have lots of friends, and I am sure when I reach there my head will advertise your goods, as you know my hair was bad. The bald places have grown out nicely. I consider it a special blessing from God that I ventured into Philadelphia to see you. Estelle Fletcher, 30 Old Beach Road. STEADY ADVANCE IN EDUCATION SOME FEATURES OF THE WORK School Founded Forty-four Years Ago and Named For Major H. J. Biddle Offers Superior Help For the Education of Colored Youth—Dr. H. L. McCrorey's Splendid Career. Charlotte, N. C.—Because of an eminent life being offered upon the altar of sacrifice for a cause espoused by a righteous people a glowing tribute was paid Major Henry J. Biddle, who gave up his life upon the battlefield of Antietam, by Mrs. Mary D. Biddle of Philadelphia, who was imbued by the same spirit of the patriot. This tribute was one which is manifested in the activities of hundreds of Afro-Americans, because she contributed the first funds for the founding of Biddle university in memory of the gallant soldier. This fine institution, which has been such a great factor in the development of the race, was founded by Revs. S. S. Murkland, S. C. Alexander and W. C. Miller, members of the Catawba presbytery, April, 1867, which was later chartered by the legislature of North Carolina. The growth of the institution was material and daily gained friends until it entered a higher educational field by a change in its charter in the year 1883 from Biddle Memorial institute to Biddle university. The property is vested in a board of able trustees for the Presbyterian church in the United States. A clause in this instrument, which is in connection with the Presbyterian church, made the university a lasting heritage of the people for whom Major Biddle and his kind fought and died for their freedom. The campus covers about seventy acres of ground, peculiarly situated where one can view this city, which is the diverging point for seven railroads which penetrate the south. This is the highway for the Piedmont section of the southern states and where the steady stock of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians settled and contributed largely to the educational development of the Afro-American people by regarding Biddle university with unusual favor. This is an active Presbyterian center among colored people. Within a radius of thirty miles there are forty M. B. PRESIDENT H. L. M.CROREY. colored Presbyterian churches disseminating a wholesome influence for the uplift of their people. The university is near the boundary line between the synods of Atlantic and Catawba, and its Christian activities are evidenced strongly in these synods and the entire south because of its picturesque location and highly efficient work. The campus, which is shaded by hundreds of stately trees, is inspiring. Upon it one will find thirteen buildings. The main building is devoted to recitation rooms, chapel and other public purposes. It is a fine piece of architecture and is a massive brick structure of four stories. For its purpose it is considered the best in the south Atlantic states and is valued at $60,000. Logan hall is a part brick and part frame structure of two stories, with attic and basement. In this building will be found a dormitory and boarding department. McNamee hall, which is a two story frame structure, has sixteen rooms and is the home of the students of the School of Theology. Carter hall is a substantial brick dormitory of four stories, with eighty-four rooms. The other buildings are commodious and have appointments peculiar to the needs of a student. Among them will be found the School of Industries, which is a veritable beehive. There are seven two story buildings for the professors' homes. They are well appointed. A heating plant furnishes heat for the various buildings. The valuation of the property is $200,000, and kind white friends of the north have made this great work possible. There are four departments with seven professors who constitute the faculty of the classical and scientific department, and four professors constitute the faculty of the seminary. The School of Theology is organised on the ordinary plans of the seminaries of the Presbyterian church. with a full three year course. The School of Arts and Sciences offers two courses, classical and scientific. The work of the normal and preparatory school is to prepare students for teaching, for business and for college. The Bible is a textbook in all the courses. Seven of the professors are Presbyterian ministers, and the others are Presbyterian laymen, of whom five are ruling elders. Only three of the 228 students enrolled this year are not professing Christians. The graduates from this university are zealous workers in their respective vocations, and their character is a fitting attestation of the training received at Biddle. From the theological department 137 men have graduated from the school of art and science 306; considerably more from the normal and preparatory departments than from the above named departments combined. Only males are admitted to this university. The president of the university is a man eminently prepared for the position. Born in Fairfield county, S. C., March, 1863, when his people were denied environments conducive to a life of the highest usefulness, reared on a farm and never attending a public school but one month in a year until he had reached the age of seventeen years, at this age he left the farm and entered the Willard Richardson Normal school, Winnnsboro, S. C., where he completed five years' work in three years. Then Henry Lawrence McCrorey entered the preparatory department of Biddle, graduating several years later, and the year 1892 graduated with honors from the college department, having won the alumni gold medal in the junior prize oratorical contest. After graduating from the theological department the year of 1895, he did advanced work in the study of the Semitic languages in Chicago university, making Hebrew a specialty. His ascendency in the educational work is as follows: For two years as assistant teacher in the preparatory school, two years later as principal of this department, one year head professor of Latin in the college department, and then exalted to the chair of Hebrew and Greek exegesis in the theological school and afterward appointed dean of the department. At this time his alma mater had conferred upon him the degrees of A. B., S. T. B., A. M. and D. D. At the death of Dr. Sanders, the president of the university, in 1907, he was made president of the institution. Dr. McCrorey was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church in the United States of America in 1895, twice elected moderator of Catawha presbytery and once moderator of Catawha synod; was commissioner to the general assembly, Kansas City, Mo., and delegate to the pan-Presbyterian alliance in New York city, 1909. He is an able pulpteer and a conservative race leader. The entire race is indebted to such generous benefactors who made possible this university and to those by whom it is maintained. COLLEGE PRIZE CONTEST. George W. Scott to Participate In Finals at Columbia College. The final oratorical contest at Columbia college, New York, for the Curtis medals will occur in April. George W. A. Scott, who won second prize in the 1910 contest, has been chosen for this year's debate also. Mr. Scott's subject last year was "Is the Negro Fitted for Citizenship?" His argument brought forth high commendation from the faculty and other officials of the college as being logical and concluded in the best rhetoric. There will be four contestants in the finals in April, and Mr. Scott has selected for his subject "Child Slavery." The other speakers and their subjects are: A. M. Gill, "Woman Suffrage." P. M. Beck, "Character and Social Achievement," and A. W. Macmahon, "Public Opinion and the People's Rule." It is highly gratifying to the race to know of Mr. Scott's success at Columbia. The outcome of the contest is being looked forward to in college circles with unusual interest. Bishop Theodore Holly Dies in Haiti The death of Right Rev. Dr. James Theodore Holly, bishop of Haiti, the first colored bishop consecrated by the American Episcopal church, was announced in a dispatch to the church authorities in America during the week of March 25. Bishop Holly was born in Washington in 1829 and was educated as a Roman Catholic. Becoming an Episcopalian, he was ordained priest of the Episcopal body in 1856 and became rector of St. Luke's church, New Haven. He was consecrated bishop of Haiti in 1874 in Grace church, New York. The Blight of Color Discrimination. These race segregation laws, Jimcarrow car laws and other wholesale color discrimination laws if not soon curbed will work bitter ruin to free American institutions. For instance, in Richmond, Va., a colored person may own a home in any part of the city, but if the property happens to be in a block where the majority of residents are white such property must be tenanted by white persons. Thus the colored man becomes the landlord of the white man. Howard Orphan Aylum Burns. In the recent destruction by fire of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum's new home at St. James, N. Y., the institution which has done so much for the orphans has suffered a great loss. Fortunately no lives were lost. The damage to the property is estimated at $12,000. Superintendent J. H. Gordon is not discouraged, however, and will continue his labors for the institution. THE STATESMAN—3 WORKED HIS WAY TO FRONT RANK Success of E. C. Brown as Organizer and Promoter. EDUCATED IN PHILADELPHIA. Prominent Banker and Real Estate Broker Was Once Stenographer For William T. Bell of National Railway Company—Left the North For Business Career in the South. Newport News, Va.—Oftentimes when a young colored man, after receiving his education, seeks a position which his training fits him for, but is debarred, such prescription in many instances forces him to create a job that will ultimately develop into a business venture of extraordinary scope, which will open a door that has heretofore been closed to his people. An example of this truth is found in the life of a Philadelphia lad who was educated in the schools of that city. His mother died when he was nine years old. His father left him at the age of eighteen years to mold his young character among influences which would test every fiber of his being. In school E. C. Brown was an exceptionally bright scholar. After graduating from the public schools he was SF employed by the Bradstreet mercantile agency as mail clerk, which he acceptably filled for three years. This position, however, simply inspired him for more responsible work. He took a course at the Spencerian Business college in stenography and typewriting. His work was so thorough that William T. Bell, vice president of the National Railway company, engaged him as his stenographer. In this position young Brown came in touch with the leading steel and railroad magnates. He was well thought of by them. The company later on merged with a larger concern, and this caused Mr. Brown, along with other employees, to lose his position. After spending some time diligently seeking a position as stenographer and finding that his color and not his competency was against him, he, with that indomitable courage and ability to think and act judiciously under such circumstances, started south, determined on a business career. Landings in this city with only a few dollars in his jeans, with the vim that moved obstacles and the optimistic smiles which made every person who perchanced to converse with him feel that his life was a great leaven in the activities of the community, he succeeded in interesting a successful business man by the name of Mr. Brown, with whom he engaged in business. So the real estate firm of Brown & Brown soon had its signs on vacant buildings over the city. Mr. Brown has undoubtedly gained the confidence of people over the country because of his integrity. He did business as any successful man would manage his affairs; hence it was not altogether the question of his racial identity. A little over two years ago he began the banking business in the city by organizing the Crown Savings bank, which is a success. In the bank and in his office one will find the office system which assures the ability of Mr. Brown and his associates to keep their fingers on the minutest detail of the business. In May, 1909, he secured a charter for a corporation known as the Brown Savings and Banking company, which is now doing a flourishing business in Norfolk in meeting the needs of the large Afro-American population in the tidewater section. In the same building Mr. Brown has a real estate department, which is doing a large business. He is president of both banks, and these enterprises have stimulated hundreds of Afro-Americans, until today numerous enterprises are giving to a little army of young people employment because of this young man's Napoleonic methods of doing business. Mr. Brown is director of the Southern Aid society of Richmond, Va., and is treasurer of the Colored Bankers' association. He is conspicuous in the local, state and national Negro Business league. The close application to business and unquestionable integrity and intelligent preparation, combined with an unselfish spirit, are the distinguishing traits of Mr. Brown's character. BANKER R. C.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing is possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

The announcement of the appoint ment of a colored dentist to the posi. tion of dental surgeon in tne United States army, Dr. Francis being the first appointee, carries with .it the welcome news that the three other colored regiments are to be similarly officered, The appointment of colored band masters, which was decided up: on last year, is thus followed out by this move, which two things make re markable the intent of the administra. tion to show opportunity to colored men of merit. : ‘The fourth month is at hand and still labor has been its own reward for the colored supporters of the Democratic party. One new place has been made in the state and a half dozen taken away from what even they did two years ago, and a wonder- ful decrease from the record made by Republicans four years ago. In the county the showing is so bad that old time colored Democratic supporters hide their faces with shame when asked about it. Not a single place, not even another colored man put on in place of a colored jan- itor who was dismissed. Democracy in this year seems determined to show that it knows little about run- ning the county and state government, and knows less about gratitude to supporters of it if they be colored. THE PASSING OF FREE HOME- STEAD LANDS. Resolutions have been forwarded to Congress from most of the western states that have government lands for homesteading, recommending that all government lands be transferred to the states. If Congress should pass such a law, and the government lanas are transferred to the states, the Negroes’ opportunity to acquire a home at $1.25 per acre, five years to pay that amount, without interest or taxes, will have passed for all time. {t behooves the negroes residing in states where there are homestead lands to secure their portion of prac tically free lands before such a law goes into effect. ‘There is now good government land that is adjoining state lands, that can be homesteaded for $1.25 per acre, while the state lands are appraised from $6.50 to $75.00 per acre. When state lands are purchased taxes and interest begin at once; when govern: ment lands are filed on for homestead there is no interest and no taxes until final proof is made, which time is from five to seven years. Negroes, not only in Colorado but everywhere, should secure land now before it is beyond their reach. (We gladly give space to the fore: going from the pen of O. T. Jackson. mr.

NG ter rs, ns, in VING LIN --- EVENT OF NATION WIDE INTEREST PUBLIC HAD SHORT NOTICE. Hon. C. W. Anderson In Making Presentation as Token of Esteem From Leading Men Calls Mr. Fortune One of Race's Bravest Champions—Praised by Other Speakers. By GEORGE W. HARRIS. An audience entirely unworthy in point of numbers was present at the recent notable occasion at the Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, when Collector Charles W. Anderson, in behalf of Dr. Booker T. Washington and other leading colored men throughout the country, gave to the great veteran editor, T. Thomas Fortune, $315 as a token of their esteem. The audience was composed almost solely of members of the church, and so comparatively few were they that were not the circumstances explained New York's colored population would appear entirely ungrateful of the friendship and services of the fearless journalist who was largely responsible for the abolition of jincrow schools in the state and many other civil discriminations. But for some unknown reason the date, place and other features of what was to be New York's tribute to a popular champion were unaccountably withheld from the public. The arrangements for the meeting, it seems, were entirely in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age, which Mr. Fortune founded and built into its position of power and prominence of a few years ago. Up until within three days of the proposed meeting some of the speakers who were to be—Collector Anderson, Rev R. M. Bolden, James H. Anderson, Wilford H. Smith, Esq., and N. Barnett Dodson—were not even A. B. F. THOMAS FORTUNE. asked to participate. But the few people who chanced to read or hear of the meeting were present and by their enthusiasm made up in quality what the meeting lacked in quantity. Names of the Contributors.

Brooks of New York, Bishop George W. Clinton of Raleigh, N. C., and Colonel Charles W. Anderson. One of Race's Bravest Champions. The eloquent New Yorker in presenting the fund said: Ladies and Gentlemen—I regard it as a great privilege to be permitted to take part in this testimonial to one of the bravest champions the race has ever produced, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune. In this day of many Caesars it is extremely difficult to determine precisely what measure should be rendered unto each of them, but I think it will be agreed that among our many excellent journalists no voice has lung louder or trurer for the past—well, I vote for him, within, we greet, tonight. He has won a place more prominent and more enduring in the hearts of our men and women than any editor who has welded a pen during our generation, and he has won it by his loyalty, his dogged determination, his unconquerable grit and his rare and extraordinary capacity to face hostility and even hatred in defense of his beliefs. While other worthy men have been given offices of honor and emolument in recognition of their services to their race and party, he has had to be content with thanks—thanks, the exchequer of the poor"—but through it all he has remained a force which had to be reckoned with and one that was stubborn and in-bending for right and wrong. That is why he must concede that among the pale shadows that ordinarily fit across the stage of our public life Tom Fortune is a solid and vigorous personality. Of course he is no salent nor has he ever pretended to be one, but he is and always has been thoroughly genuine and wholly without artifice or sham. He hates peace. His God is the God of battle, and he appears to see him only in the avalanche and seems to hear him only in the thunder. He is a militant man, but his friends love to feel that if he strikes hard blows they are fair ones and are always or almost always struck in response to his attacks and in lightened convictions. I hold that the race is well served when she is served by such a man. Our great leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, with that considerate kindness which is his, invited a few of Mr. Fortune's old friends to make a small contribution toward a fund for the purchase of some token that would express our regard for him, but it was subsequently decided that it would be better to present him with a gift that would be the conventional but useless loving cup and the pleasant duty of presenting that purse has been assigned to me. I therefore present this purse of $315 to Mr. T. Thomas Fortune as a slight token of the high esteem in which he is held by the race and wish him health and happiness until the arrival of that day, which I hope is far distant, when he shall put aside his armor and surrender his pen to younger hands. And when he alludes all spoken it is my firm belief that his spirit will still survive to guide the younger men and that the path he has blazed will be broad and straight for the march of younger feet. Mr. Fortune was much moved by the presentation and flattering eulogy of the speakers and contributors and expressed his thanks to them as well as to the subscribers of the testimonial. Of Dr. Washington he said that he was in nowise surprised that he had undertaken the subscription, as it was not in his nature to do other than generously and magnanimously to those who had served, as he thought, his race worthily. The personal relations and close friendship which had existed for two decades between Mr. Washington and himself, he commented, had been one of the most helpful and notable in the history of the Afro-American people and was one of the happiest experiences of his life. Mr. Fortune Makes Statement. Mr. Fortune authorized the following statement in regard to the meeting: Mr. Fortune, who had refused to have anything to say one way or another as to the propriety of asking for a testimonial, declaring that he was willing to leave the responsibility for it to Dr. Washington, who proposed it, and the friends co-operating with him, objected to the manner and time of holding the testimonial presentation in New York, which was in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age. Mr. Fortune based his objection to the manner of making the testimonial a public function at the time advertised on the ground that proper advertisement of 'he gathering had not been made to insure representative appreciation by New York. Mr. Fortune and his work of thirty years in New York, the notice having been made and speakers asked to participate all within five days of the date of meeting. At a meeting held at the law offices of Wilford H. Smith, 150 Nassau street, at which Mr. Smith, Mr. Moore, Hon. Charles W. Anderson and Mr. Fortune were present, Mr. Fortune stated his objections. After the matter was thrashed out by all concerned Mr. Fortune agreed to attend the meeting on the ground solely that he did not wish to embarrass those who might attend the meeting on the strength of such notice as had been made of it. Dr. Washington Pays Tribute. Dr. Washington, who was unable to be present in the city at the meeting, sent the following letter to Collector Anderson: My Dear Mr. Anderson-Inclosed I send you New York draft for $300, together with the names of the contributors toward the T. Thomas Fortune testimonial fund. It was thoroughly understood by the donors and all concerned that this money is given not because of its intrinsic value to Mr. Fortune, but simply as an indication of the race's indebtedness to him for his long and hard service in behalf of the progress of the race. No one was asked to make a large contribution. EMBARRASSING POSITION FOR SALVATION ARMY. Southern Delegates Raise Color Question at Conference in Washington. Race feeling which developed among the southern delegates to the Salvation Army conference held in Washington the last week in February resulted in the abandonment for the time being of the army's plans for the organization of a movement among the colored people of the United States. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the south when a northern delegate proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among the colored people. They virtually declared they would not assume such duties, with the result that the committee appointed at the same meeting to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work. Commander Evangeline Booth, head of the American Salvation Army, said before leaving for New York that if necessary a Salvation Army with colored leaders to conduct the meetings will be organized. "We thought it better to drop the matter temporarily," said Miss Booth, "owing to the feeling among our southern officers.

Battling Jim Johnson and Joe Jennette will probably do a yattle in the next few weeks in Paris. Bob Armstrong, the famous American neero trainer, has also gone to Paris, where he will handle some of the best in the business. Langford will no doubt be his man, as they were working together before Sam left this country. ABBIE MITCHELL AT THE MONO. GRAM, CHICAGO. _ Although married and otal ever to again appear behind the livhts in front of her feet, Mrs. Abbie Mitchell is once more in the clutches of the cruel stage world. Well, she is a jewel of a singer and the managers of different houses offered her such bic inducement that Abbie found them ouite irresistable, and is now taking Chicago by storm singing the greatest hits of her career, “My Hero,” and a late moon song. When finished at Chicago she will go east to open on the Orpheum circuit, SYLVESTER RUSSELL. ‘The great negro writer, Sylvester Puesell. has been asked to appear at the Pekin theatre of Chicago.

Joe Jordan is one of the best negro composers and plano play- ers, end Geo. Baker is also a compos: er and piano player and the two should make everybody sit and take notice, as they are*lardto<beat: MME. AZALIA HACKLEY IN TEXAS The race's greatest singer, Mme. Hackley, is taking Texas by storm, the southern newspapers say. It is the general verdict that Mrs. Hackley is the most gifted.and best trained singer of the negro race before the public, and I am very much of the| same opinion. Mme. Hackley has re- ceived the high praises from the lead- ing journals of this country and abroad. She possesses the grace of common sense as well as genius and the great virtue of loyalty and devo- tion she tenders her own race should make each and every one of us proud of her as a mistress of art.
