ANOTHER BROWNSVILLE ATTEMPTED
A Studied Attempt is Being Made to Blacken the Character of the Troops at San Antonio
Twenty-Second Year
ANOTHER BROWN ATT
A Studied Attempt
Blacken the
Troops at San
The viciousness of the spirit of the white people of Texas is being displayed toward the gallant boys of the Ninth Cavalry. The reported disturbances which they have spread over the country through the instrumentality of the daily press come from their desires and have no foundation in fact. A correspondent from San Antonio writes us in part as follows and we gladly give space to the matter for the reason that the high hopes we had for our boys have been entirely justified:
This letter comes merely to assure you and our other friends in your section that you have no cause whatever to be ashamed of our paraded misdings here. We knew some things, of course, prior to our coming and have strenuously guarded against anything that savored of misconduct.
The local congressman, according to press reports, made a request for our removal upon the ground of our lawlessness of which no one here seemed to be informed, as the same paper later published a telegram from the Sheriff to the war department saying nothing had been reported to his office, and the manager of the local traction company sent a telegram stating that only one case of unpleasantness had been noted on the street cars, and this was the act of only one man.
My opinion is that the whole affair was an attempt at bringing to life the Brownsville affair and an effort... striking a resonant chord in the hearts of the voters here to promote some politicians' interest.
Our regiment has been paid here and so far as we can learn not a single arrest has been made.
The rumor of some of our men riding recklessly through the streets flashing revolvers is absolutely false, as no men are given mounted passes at night, when this was supposed to have occurred. The facts later were that these men were simply strikers" servants for some officers, and in no way connected with the army.
Our record at Ft. Russell and elsewhere certainly argues much in our favor and it would be hard to convince an unbiased person that we have changed so suddenly as to our character.
The hospitality and congeniality of the people of our own here renders conditions somewhat more bearable. Certainly God never made a finer Negro than these. Their excellent homes speak eloquently for their endurance and faith in a future.
INSPECTION OF GOLDEN CHEST.
A party consisting of Rev, Hurse of Kansas City, Rev. W. C. Willinms and J. W. Jackson, visited Sunset, Colorado, Monday and inspected the mine of the Golden Chest company there. Rev. Hurse was so impressed with the showing of ore and the progress of the development that he purchased 1,200 shares. Subsequent to their return to this city, the board of directors recognized the wide influence of the Kansas City clergyman by making him a member of the board of directors to fill a vacancy. The Golden Chest company is now driving a tunnel which will cut its ore vein at a great depth and will at the same time drain the whole mine.
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.

Allensworth Colony a Wonder
Rev. D. E. Over, pastor of Zion church, returned last week from a three months' visit in southern California, very much improved in health. He expressed himself as highly gratified at the excellent work done by Rev. Banks during his absence, and very heartily commends the church and auxiliaries for the good showing made along all lines. The greater portion of Rev. Over's stay in the West was spent at the new Negro colony, Allensworth, and his reports of the progress made and the opportunities open to our people in that section are most remarkable. The farm land in the colony, amounting to nearly 4,000 acres, is about all sold and the population is rapidly growing. The colony has now a church, a school, three stores, postoffice, a commodious hotel, long distance telephone connection, while the Santa Fe railroad was installing a station agent the last week of his visit. Already a number of comfortable modern cottages have been built, the artesian wells furnishing sufficient pressure for the colonists to pipe the water to their doors, securing to them the same convenience as in the city. The valley in which this colony is located is some of the richest land in the state and is perhaps the finest alfalfa growing section in the world. As a consequence the dairy business is at the present time and will continue the most profitable in which the rancher can engage. The actual returns from this industry is almost beyond belief, and at the present time conditions are such that a man possessing a few acres can become the owner of a dairy herd without any capital. The creameries are now furnishing the cattle and permitting the dairyman to pay for his herd out of one half of the cream produced, the other half being available for the support of his family and for the development of his land. The ranches in that section are actually producing from 8 to 10 tons of alfalfa per acre each year and a good grade of alfalfa hay was selling during the month of February at $13.00 to $15.00 per ton in bales. An illustration of what can be done, or what is actually being done, on a small farm, say 10 acres, may be interesting. Under ordinary conditions 10 acres will produce from 75 to 90 tons of alfalfa annually, which is abundance of feed for 15 to 18 dairy cows the year through. A fairly good milk cow fed on alfalfa will produce at a low estimate $7.50 per month in cream making an annual income to the dairyman of about $1,500. This is not all. A herd of 15 fairly good dairy cattle will furnish about 0 gallons of skimmed milk dally, which has been proven one of the best feeds for hogs known. About 2 head of hogs can be raised to maturity on such a quantity of milk, making a side profit of about $500.00.
Again, California is one of the most profitable poultry raising sections on the globe, the heens having 12 months of out door weather and lay continuously. For instance, Patatoma, Cal., a little section of a few thousand acres, not as large as Allensworth, furnishes more eggs and poultry than any other similar section in the world. It takes 125,000 laying pullets each year to keep up the flocks of layers in this little section, located near San Francisco. All this is possible in Allensworth. So many and so great are these opportunities that it is hard for the layman to believe. At any rate, the above, which Rev. Over has spent the last three months in investigating, would indicate that a family located on ten acres in the new colony would not be likely to starve.
Fashion will be on display at West Brothers tomorrow at the grand Easter soiree. Special Easter menu and music.

The literary department of the Searchlight club held a delightful meeting last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. H. Redd. After the usual order of business was finished the literary part was entered into with enthusiasm. First Mrs. Redd gave her original story of "The Love Affair of Abraham and Sarah." Mrs. Redd had given the preparation of her story much study and thought and it is not easy to do justice to the charm and manner in which she read it, and her effort was appreciated as was evidenced by the applause and words of commendation given by all present. Then the ladies finished searching for the Holy Grail in "The Vision of Sir Launfal" and many were the beautiful explanations and thoughts presented, and each expressed themselves as being greatly benefited by the study. At the close of this delightful program the door into the dining room was opened and there, from a table resplendent in beautiful Mexican drawn work, cut glass and china, under the mellow glow of the electric light, the guests were served with delicious refreshments. Serving from the table were Mesdames Raker, Ward and Gilmore-Guests of the club were Mesdames Washington Wm. Edwards, Muse and Lookins and Miss Bertha Larkins.
There will be no regular meeting this week, but all will gather at the home of Mrs. Wm. Ashford and make aprons for the entertainment to be given at the A. M. E. church Thursday evening, April 13th.

Dear Madam Perkins:
Dear Madam: After using your scalp treatment for six months I think it no more than right that I should write you how well pleased I am with your method of treating the hair. Since using your treatment my hair has grown many inches and is nearly free from dandruff. I am indeed very proud of what this treatment has done for my hair, and I am more than pleased to recommend it to others that want to have nice, long real hair
This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am very well pleased with the treatment for such a short time. I will write you from time to time to let you know just how well my hair is getting on.
This is to certify that I have known the bearer of this letter, Mrs. T. D. Perkins, for the past 15 years, and know her to be an ambitious, earnest, faithful Christian woman.

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. Now my hair has grown five inches longer than when I started. It is now twice as thick and as soft as silk. I highly recommend her treatment to others. The best thing to do is to try it and be convinced for your self. There is nothing in the world to equal it for our race in the way of growing hair.

I have taken Madam Perkins' treatment for a year and I have been greatly benefited by it. When I first started my hair was very short, and clean to the scalp in some places, and now it has grown many inches. I take great pleasure in recommending her to others, as her treatment is just what it is advertised to be.

To Whom It May Concern:
After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same, I went to Philadelphia to have her give me a personal treatment. I never used anything that was so wonderful for the hair as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and says that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do for those that will carefully follow her instructions.

Dear Mrs. Perkins:
Enclosed find five dollars, for which please send me another six months' treatment for my hair. I am very pleased with your treatment. 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.

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,
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.
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

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:
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.

CONFIDENCE IN DR. WASHINGTON
Wealth of Affection and Good Will Showered Upon Him.
CHEERED BY HEAD OF NATION
Conspiracy to Blast the Reputation of the Great Tuskegeean Falls by Its Own Hand Under Searchlight of Sweeping Investigation—Forces of Prejudice Put to Flight.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—The attempted humiliation of Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York city recently signally failed. The conspiracy to blast the reputation of the great Tuskegeean fell by its own weight under the searching light of investigation. As humiliating as the unjust notoriety has been to Dr. Washington and his friends, nevertheless Afro-Americans have had a great object lesson. Slander and prejudice were futile by the side of the pure, spotless life of the man who has done so much for the unlift of his race.
The whole country, north, south, east and west, was shocked when the first tidlings were published of the brutal assault upon Dr. Washington. When this assault was followed by an attempt to besmirch Dr. Washington's reputation there was a rallying of his friends which overwhelmed the forces of prejudice and revealed the great hold that Dr. Washington has upon the hearts of the people of the United States. Dr. Washington received nearly 5,000 letters and telegrams from admiring friends. Chief among these letters, of course, was the autographed communication from President William Howard Taft, which has already been published.
But, important as this communication was, it was no more important than those which came from southern white men. from hundreds of northern white men and women and from Afro-American leaders and organizations in all parts of the country. The telegrams which immediately began to pour in from Dr. Washington's home state must have pleased him immensely.
Among the first assurances of confidence was a letter from W. W. Campbell, president of the Macon County bank at Tuskegee. Ala.; another from J. H. Drakeford, cashier of the Bank of Tuskegee, Tuskegee. Ala., and E. W. Thompson, a member of the legislature of the state of Alabama, with residence at Tuskegee. These letters Dr. Washington cordially appreciates because they come from the town where he has practically spent all of his life. Mr. Campbell's letter is as follows:
Dear Sir, regret very much to learn of the accident which happened to you in the city of New York a few days ago. Every one with whom I have discussed the matter has expressed sympathy for you and his confidence that no blame attaches to you in the matter.
Wishing for you a speedy recovery, I am yours truly. W. W. CAMPBELL.
One telegram, signed by every important Negro citizen of Montgomery, Ala., reads as follows:
The Negro citizens of Montgomery wish to tender to you a reception on your return to the state as an expression of their confidence and esteem. If no objection please name date.
From Selma, Ala., came the following telegram:
The executive board of the colored Alabama state convention, representing membership 89,000 members, sympathize this your hour of attempted humiliation. You have still our implicit confidence and most profound respect. We shall ever delight to honor you as our true and trusted leader.
J. H. EASON, President.
R. B. HUDSON, Secretary.
Among the educational forces of the country who quickly put themselves on record in expressions of confidence and good will were such important men as Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the general education board, the Rockefeller organization, which controls $42,000,000 worth of invested funds; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, a southern white man, president of the University of South Carolina, at Columbia; Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the Ann. T. Jeanes Fund foundation.
The faculty of Hampton institute of which Dr. Washington is a graduate, sent a special letter of sympathy, and this was followed by another from Mr. Robert C. Ogden, president of the board of trustees of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute, a man who has known Dr. Washington most intimately from the time of his graduation at Hampton. The confidence of the colored people in the great leader was revealed by the many eloquent and touching expressions of concern for his health, and at the same time in attestation of their regard for him and their confidence in his integrity. All classes of Afro-Americans have united in these expressions of confidence, many letters coming from those who have in the past allied themselves with the "movements" which are supposed to be directed against Dr. Washington.
The present year's senior class of the Tuskegee institute, the local Alumni Association of Tuskegee institute and officers and teachers of the Tuskegee institute joined in taking special action by resolutions which were communicated by telegram to express their love for the principal of the institute and

THE STATESMAN—3
ANNUAL REPORT ON FINANCE
Dr. John Hurst Will Tell Methodists Where Their Money Goes.
Washington.-The annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal church will be held at the headquarters of the department, 1541 Fourteenth street, Wednesday, April 19, at which time Rev. Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination, will make his third annual report. The department has been in existence since 1872, and its heads have been among the most successful men in the church. Those who have occupied the position of financial secretary besides the present incumbent were Bishop James A. Handy, the late J. W. Burley, Benjamin W. Arnett, L. H. Armstrong, M. M. Moore, P. A. Hubbard and Edward W. Lampton.
When Dr. Hurst took charge in 1908, $2,825,067.60 had passed through the department. During the first year of his administration $167,397.14 was raised, and in 1910 the total amount raised was nearly $200,000. The department is now in first class shape financially despite the fact that its liabilities were increased by $14,000 by the general conference which met in Norfolk, Va., in 1908. The money that passes through the departments is raised in dollar subscriptions by the members and friends of the denomination. Of this amount 36 per cent is retained by the various annual conferences for their special needs, and the remainder goes for the educational work, salaries of general officers and the multitude of other general needs of the African Methodists.
Bishop H. Blanton Parks, who has charge of the work of the late Bishop Grant, will preside over the session of the board, having been elected chairman pro tem, at the recent session of the board of bishops.
VALUABLE ADDITION TO
GELIGIOUS LITERATURE.
New Volume Deals With Work of Methodist Denomination.
Among the many notable books relating to colored people is "Methodism and the Negro," recently issued. The author of the volume is the Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. It is a compendium of information concerning the great work the Methodists have done for the race spiritually, educationally and financially.
The foreword is by Bishop Luther B. Wilson of Philadelphia. After a lengthy and illuminating picture by the author of the various activities of the denomination for the race there are a number of essays written by prominent ministers and laymen on "Why the Methodist Episcopal Church Is Needed Among Our People." "His Present Need" and "The Outlook." Pictures of leading schools, prominent
JOHN H. HARRIS
men and women and of churches the country over lend interest to the volume.
Dr. Thomas was born in Anne Arundel county, Md., in 1853. He was graduated from Morgan college, Baltimore, in 1851 and has developed into one of the best known and most eloquent pulpit orators in the country. He has been a field secretary for the past six years and during his travels the country over has noted racial conditions at first hand. He has been a member of several general conferences of his denomination and is widely and favorably known.

A WORK OF ART USED AS A BUS-] SONG OF THE NIGHT CHILD.
INESS APPEAL. ee? i, Oe oe notte ast
‘The part which the railroads play
in inducing visitors td come to the
state and view nature’s wonders here
is generally understood now-a-days,
but few people are aware that the ap-
peal to all America is made with a
finish and style that beggars descrip-
tion in some cases. For instance,
there has just come to this newspaper
a copy of the latest D. & R. G. book-
let, “Around the Circle.” It is an
opal for color, a reproduction in print:
ers’ ink of the beautiful coloring of
the Colorado sky, the forests and the
eternal hills, The text itself is a lu-
cid description of the cities through
which the road passes in its course
to the West, down the western slope
and back through ‘southern Colorado
and northern New Mexico. The points
of interest, such as the mountain
passes, the cliff dwellers, the resorts
and the like, afe all featured. The
illustrations are themselves a work of
art. Even to a Coloradoan the book
is a strong appeal, and to the citizens
of other states it must be an almost
irresistable call back to nature, an in-
spiration to “see Europe if they will,
but to see America first.”
A TWO SIDED PROPOSITION.
There are a number of persons who)
talk much of the duty that the race
owes to patronize its business men
‘We hear so much of that and so little
of the service such patrons should re-
ceive that we call attention to the
other side of the proposition. If a
colored man should patronize another
because the other is colored, it is just
as good logic that the patron should
receive good service from the other
because he is colored. But summing
it all up, the bid for business merely
on the ground of color’ is nothing
more than a use of color prejudice
which we all claim to be so unjust.
The colored business man should
have other merit than his color. He
should not do the baby act and ask
that our people divide their trade
with him unless he can show merit
equal to anyone. Prices and quality
determine how good any service is.
Until Negroes are willing to stand up
and be counted, paying an eye for an
eye, giving a dollar's worth of service
for a dollar, asking no favors because
of previous conditions or color limit-
ations, they will be pitied rather than
respected. Let us demand of every
one who seeks our trade, black as
well as white, the best service. Let
us give to every man, black as well as
white, the best we can.

SONG OF THE NIGHT CHILD.
The following poem is from the pen
of W. B. Hawkins. He is a North
Uarolina product whose “Chords and
Discords” has received favorable no-
tice from the press. Doubtless the
world will hear more of him. Being
dedicated to John Edward Bruce, the
old friend of Statesman readers, it is
of more than passing interest.
To my esteemed’ guide, philosopher
and friend, John EB. Bruce, “Grit,”
the sentiments herein breathed are
sincerely dedicated with filial re-
spect and esteem.
Born of the night am I,
I am its son;
Scorn for the light have I,
Paleness I shun.
Blackness was over me when I was
born;
I-court the night spirits and scoff at
the morn;
Midnight and ebony my features
adorn.
Blacking the light I am,
Backing the right I am;
Child of the Night am I—
I am its son.
Routing the wings of Night,
Upward I glide;
Flouting the flings of light,
Proudly I ride.
I ride on the pillows of thunderous
clouds;
My robe is the billows of wonderous
shrouds;
I whip up the lightnings and mock the
pale crowds.
Purging the light I am,
Urging the fight 1 am—
Child of the Night am I,
I am its son.
Kissing the smoky sons,
Blessing the black;
Hissing the paler ones,
Distressing the slack.
I daub them with ebony, smother
their pride;
I swab them with smoke and their
vanity chide;
Is the soll of a man in the hue of his
hide?
Pointing the road I am,
Anointing the good I am.
Child of the Night am I—
i I am its son.
Child of the dusky veil,
Kissed by the sun;
Gild me in trusty mail,
Truth bids me on.
Cloud me in battle smoke, night
shrouds attend me;
The beginning was blackness and so
will the end be!
Black God and black angels, look
down and defend me!
Stinging false arts 1 am,
Wringing false hearts I am;
Child of the Night am 1—
I am {ts son.

LADIES, READ AND CONSIDER. } IMPORTANT NOTICE. { Mrs. Nettie Penix-Herndon, former-
The colored newspapers, apart from
‘the usual struggle for existence, have
‘a special problem to meet. They have
to overcome the opinion that gener-
ally prevails in business circles’ that
their readers stop with reading. their
news columns and pay no attention
whatever to- their advertisements.
Therefore, race papers are cut off
from that source of revenue to a large
extent. Women are the buyers for
the home as a rule and therefore the
editor of this paper wishes to ask of
them that they make it a point to read
race papers all through and consider
the advertisers therein when they
make purchases. Tell the merchant
that advertises in The Statesmun that
you are pleased that he asks your
trade in that manner. Inspect his
goods, even if you have been in the
habit of trading elsewhere. There is
a steady growth of sentiment here
against colored customers. We can-
not afford to overlook those who seek
our trade by pel ert e in the race
press, and thrust it fipon firms that
are content to advertise only with
white papers. Remember also that
there are cdlored persons, artisans
and professional men, who haye only
your trade to depend upon, ‘They ad-
vertise only in the colored press, If
you are willing for them to live, look
for their advertisements and try their
merece’

On next Tuesday evening there will
be a grand ratification meeting at
Shorter church of the Colorado Afri:
ean Colonization Company, which
means to celebrate the giving of the
land grant of 50,000 acres \by the Li-
berian government. A program has
been arranged and the various socie
ties of the city are being invited to
participate and present resolutions.
It is not generally known that art
is reaching a high state of advance:
ment in this city. From time to timc
exhibits by the women's clubs of the
city or of the state attract unusual at
tention, yet that is only momentary.
Among the art workers of the city.
Mrs. 8. B. McCarroll is one whose
work is most widely known. She
paints. ll, water color, pastel work
are all equally well done. She has
shown her work to the public on sev-
eral occasions and several paintings
haye been purchased and adorn Den-
ver homes.
Along this same line it {s fitting to
speak of the efforts which have been
put. forth during the past two weeks
by the Ladies’ Usher Club of Shorter
church to adorn it for Easter. Dec-
orations of natural flowers have been
the rule in the past. This year the
ladies planned something novel and
no less artistic. It is artificial flow-
ers, Artificial lillies, roses, pansies.
carnations, and even doves will be
seen in artistic arrangement, all due
to the tireless efforts of a band of ar-
tistic women. Mrs. W. P. Jones has
kindly served as the teacher for such
ladies as were inexpert, and the Five
Points barber shop has been the work
room. She and they have had the as
sistance of some who were skilled in
the making of artificial flowers. and
the sum total of their work will be
the public’s to admire tomorrow.
The ladies helping are Mesdames
Reeves, Richardson, Waldon, Cobb,
Efferson, Lytton and Derry. Mrs.
Finley 1s making doves, while the
skill of Mrs. Guo. Ingram !s shown by
the most exquisite roses.
‘The spirit of art has also impelled
Clarence\Reeves, who has begun to do
painting in oil.
Ong of the swellest entertainments
of the week was a seven-course din-
ner party at the residence of Mr, and
Mrs. Win. Gibson of 3230 Gilpin street
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Per-
‘kins, who leave for Spokane, Wash
The house was beautifully decorated
in yellow and white, Paster color be-
ing carried out. Those who enjoyed

Lawyer Townsend is in New York City. He is making a visit of six weeks to that section of the country. His absence from this city is due to his being retained as counsel in the settling of an estate in Maryland, and he is taking advantage of his trip to see the sights of the great city. The fact that an attorney of the race has been so highly esteemed as to be retained for work so far from home attests the high quality of Denver's professional men. Note their advertisements on page three when in need of service.

WELCOMED BACK HOME.
Zion church was hardly itself on Sunday, so great was its joy over the return of its pastor in good health, so good that he said of himself that he had not felt better in five years. He preached with all his old time force and woke up the congregation with the gospel exhortation. In some well chosen words he spoke of his trip away and thanked the congregation for the manner in which it had borne with him in his illness. He gave every evidence in words and manner of the great love he had for the church, and said in conclusion that so far as he was concerned nothing could sever them. This statement was the signal for much thanksgiving and was taken to mean that the rumors which have been circulating concerning his resigning to go away were unfounded.
The scene at the church was only a repetition of the one at the home when he arrived on Thursday before. The flock of which he was the spiritual shepherd was no less glad than the family of which he was the head.

London.—For the first time in human history there is a clear prospect of one common ideal animating all peoples, and thus the beautiful old hope of the brotherhood of nations and races is at last moving appreciably toward realization. What better means of celebrating the birth of the new era, of brushing aside prejudices and suspicions or correcting misunderstandings than by men and women from east and west, white and nowwhite, meeting as friends and equals in a great congress?
We therefore earnestly appeal to all—most especially to sympathizers in the far and near east and in Africa and America—to make the utmost effort to attend personally the first universal races congress in London July

26 to 29 inclusive and convert it into an imposing and world moving demonstration in favor of interracial good will.
The congress is truly what it purports to be—an assembly of members of all the races of the world. Accordingly there are papers on China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, the Jewish race, India, Egypt, Haiti, the American Negro and Indian and the Negro of West and South Africa.
Hindu Scholar Will Open Program.
In every one of these cases, we wish it to be noted, the paper is written by a member of the particular people or race concerned, while the very first paper of the congress is by a Hindu scholar, the congress executive recognizing that it might thus show its appreciation of the east. Ex oriental lux.
It will rejoice the hearts of those who believe in interracial harmony to know that it is not the few, the despised or the eccentric who are cooperating in this congress, but the many, the honored and the experienced. Among the supporters, very many of whom have welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm the idea of holding such a congress and who belong to no less than fifty countries, are thirty presidents of parliament, the majority of the members of the permanent court of arbitration and of the delegates to the second Hague conference, twelve British governors and eight British prime ministers, many statesmen and ambassadors, over forty colonial bishops, some 130 professors of international law, the leading anthropologists and sociologists, the officers of the majority of the council of the interparliamentary union, not to particularize a multitude of other distinguished personages.
Henceforth it will be impossible to deny that there exists a solid body of opinion among the most highly placed and the most highly cultured in favor of just, respectful and friendly relations between the peoples of the east and those of the west, between the so called whites and the so called colored, and the very remarkable unanimity in regard to fundamentals among the distinguished writers of papers will emphasize this.
Object and Aim of the Congress.
The object of the congress, which will be held in the University of London, is to discuss in the light of mod-
ern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between these various peoples with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation. Political issues of the hour will be subordinated to this comprehensive end, in the firm belief that when once mutual respect is established difficulties of every type will be sympathetically approached and readily solved. We call on every one who chances to see this appeal to forward the high and holy cause of this congress by becoming a center of propaganda, by attending the conference and by inducing associations and public bodies to be represented.
The American auxiliary committee includes the names of many distinguished Americans like Jane Addams, John Graham Brooks, President Faunce, Hamilton Holt, George Foster Peabody, Hon. Joseph Choate, Hon. Horace Porter, Lyman Abbott and Andrew Carnegie. The full program may be obtained free of charge and post free by writing to the secretary of the congress. Mr. G. Spiller, 63 South Hill Park, Lampstead, London, England. The following are the writers of papers:
Wu Ting Fang (on China). Tongo Takebe and Ternakil Kobayashi (on Japan). Ahmed Said Bey (on Turkey). Hadjl Mirza Yahya (on Persian). I. Zangwill (on the Jewish race), G. K. Gokhale (on India), Mohammed Sourour Bey (on Egypt). General Legitime (on Hairt), W. E. B. Du Bois (on the American Negro), Charles A. Eastman (on the American Indians). Tengo Jabavu (on the South African natives), J. Mensah Sarban (on the West African natives).
BALTIMORE EDITOR'S PLEA FOR DAILY NEWSPAPER
Weekly Paper Too Slow For Modern Strenuous Times, Says Macbeth.
Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore (Md.) Times, is a firm believer in the necessity of a national Negro daily paper. He says that the weekly paper is too slow for these strenuous times in America, and that the present circumscribed position of the American Negro demands that he have some organ for defense as well as to chronicle his daily happenings of an upward trend.
Mr. Macbeth has given the subject of a race daily much attention and expresses himself as follows:
"The absolute necessity for some great daily organ to be published by the race grows more apparent as the days pass. I am well aware of the existence of the 300 odd weekly journals among us, and I am happy to say that they have rendered the race signal service, but must insist that I believe that the weekly paper falls for the most part to meet the demands of the day when events thousands of miles away are known as soon as they occur."
After stating how the modern daily has trained the people to demand fresh news, he went on to say:
"The American Negro has unconsciously been trained in this environment of quick news service. He eagerly scans his daily paper for world happenings, and his only regret is that the white press either ignores him or publishes race happenings in a biased form. In other words the modern daily does not want to present the best side of the race.
"I am quite sure that we can organize as admirable a news service for our papers as that for the whites, and the race will support a national daily organ of mgrit. Numerous letters and offers of support that I have received from various sections of the country attest that fact, and I am ready to venture in the project if enough offers of financial and other assistance are forthcoming."
Bishop Isaac Lane on Race Strife. In his address at the dedicatory exercises of the Lane Tabernacle Colored Methodist Episcopal church in St. Louis recently Bishop Isaac Lane is reported, as having said that race strife was the greatest work of the devil because it poisoned men's hearts and minds and instigated conflict. He said, however, that light was breaking through the darkness of ignorance and sin and that the dawn of a new American civilization was at hand when men would acknowledge the common brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.
Influential Musical Organization. We doubt if there is an organization of vocalists in the northern or New England section of the country which commands wider attention than the North Side Choral club of Pittsburg. The public functions of the club are always liberally patronized. To maintain its already popular place in the public eye the members are at present busily engaged in rehearsing for their annual concert, which is to be held some time in May. Gade's "Spring Messenger" is the subject selected for the cantata this year.
Helpful. Features of Y. M. C. A. Work.
One of the new features of the educational department of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn is the lecture bureau. Practical talks or illustrated lectures are given weekly on Wednesday evening. This department is supervised by Dr. Walter A. Jackson. The employment bureau is in charge of Mr. Arthur L. Comither, who has secured positions for over thirty men and boys within the past three months.

TIMELY ADVICE TO WOMEN.
Each Makers of Own Position, Bsys
Mrs. M. C. Lawton
"What Our Young Women Owe to Themselves" was the subject of a most interesting and instructive address delivered by Mrs. M. C. Lawton to the members and visitors at a meeting of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn recently.
Mrs. Lawton spoke in part as follows: In a great city like this, with its teeming millions of inhabitants, composed, as it is, of every nationality, every kindred, tongue and tribe, there must naturally arise various conditions for our immediate consideration. The constant inflow from all parts of the world to this, the metropolis of the United States, the ever increasing demand for efficient service, together with the working girl of the colored race, give rise to a problem whose complexity is almost insoluble. Although institutions for the advancement and promotion of our girls have been established through which thousands of them have been saved to the race and to the glory of womanhood, there are still phases of this situation, discouraging though they are, that the working girl long as time lasts there will be working girls, but just what position they will occupy they alone must determine.
It is evident, however, that their value will increase in proportion to the efficiency of their efforts, and their position or rank will be computed according to the dignity they inject into their character, and can you rate yourselves. If you place a small estimate on yourselves others will do likewise, but if you feel yourselves the equal of those filling the same position you will be rated accordingly. Now, what is the cause of this lack of confidence? It is due to the fact that you have not made the necessary preparation for your life's work. Working people are not of the kind of labor you perform, but the quality of service you give.
Live in an atmosphere of self respect whether you are accorded those rights which others enjoy or not. Be honest, conscientious and upright in your dealings with your fellow man. The peace of conscience you will enjoy will repay you for the effort you put forth, and the course you take toward unison, organization, both of which are absolutely indispensable to racial progress and advancement. We are living in the formative, constructive or historic period of our race. We have just about cleared the forest and begun the foundation upon which future generations of our race must build the superstructure. Those of us who are thus engaged are the brick masons, stonecutters, hidecrowers, the erection of this racial structure, and our work must be well done if it is to stand the storms of antagonism, the cyclonic winds of prejudice and the thunderbolts of injustice which will attack us.

Old Line Politicians Are Keeping Their Powder Extra Dry.
NEW FAGES IN "BLACK CABINET"
Hon. William Henry Lewis, the New Assistant Attorney General, and J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, Begin Their Tenure of Office Under Favorable Circumstances.
By OLIVER RANDOLPH.
Washington—"All is quiet along the Potomac"—that is the word heard on all sides at the nation's capital these days. Politicians of all shades are keeping painfully mum, and the "followers on," who generally keep up much noise and din, have, for the nonce, lost their occupations.
Hon. James C. Napier, the brilliant Tennessee banker and lawyer, is now safely enconced in his berth as regis-

ter of the treasury. Recently Mr. Napier, in company with Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register, and Hon. Whitefield McKinley, collector of customs at Georgetown, called at the White House and paid his respects to President Taft.
Hon. William Henry Lewis of Boston is now a full fledged assistant attorney general of the United States. He took the oath of office recently and then called on President Taft at the White House to tender his respects. He has a magnificent suit of offices in the Bond building, one of the largest and most pretentious office buildings in the city. Here William H. Lewis, a cultured colored man, presides with modesty and dignity over an important branch of the department of justice.

cases. According to the gossip of the department, these cases are not now regarded as of great importance, as about 85 per cent of them already have been disposed of. There now remain about 1,300 cases, involving a total amount of about $5,500,000. These claims were handled for years by Assistant Attorney General John G. Thompson, who recently resigned to go into private practice. Since his resignation they have been in the hands of Attorney George T. Stormont, assigned to this work, who is regarded as an authority on the subject.
Miss Bessie Moore, who held the position of stenographer in the office to be allotted to Lewis, has been transferred by her own request, and with the approval of the department, to a place with the court of commerce. Harry Jones, a young man who was drawing $900 a year, accepted the place left vacant and received an increase of $300. James M. Marks, the messenger attached to the office which Lewis will occupy, is a white man.
President Taft seems to be a believer in passing the offices around. The "outs," who, of course, do not believe in long tenure for the "ins," look with pleasure at this disposition, as they term it, on the part of the president to give the "other fellow a chance." Many new faces now adorn the "black cabinet." Henry Lincoln Johnson, Whitefield McKinley, W. D. Johnson, John C. Napier and William H. Lewis are the new members who now sit around that imaginary council board. Terrell, the municipal judge; Tyler, the auditor for the navy; Adams, the assistant register of treasury, and Cobb, the assistant district attorney, are the only members of the "black cabinet" who were members during the Roosevelt administration.
Terrell was recommissioned early in this administration. Tyler's four year term expires in June. A recent news item sent out from this city says that Tyler is an old and intimate friend of Charles Dewey Hilles, the new private secretary to the president, which fact, no doubt, augurs well for Mr. Tyler. Cobb's tenure of office is indefinite. He holds at the pleasure of the attorney general. It is known in inner circles that when Clarence Wilson, the present district attorney, succeeded D. W. Baker, Cobb was assured that the change would not affect him in the least.
The Onward March of Woman Suffrage
Woman's suffrage is sweeping state after state into the line of victory, says the Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age. Some claim to see dire disaster in the success of this movement, but we have every confidence that the women who vote will always safeguard the interests of her husband, father, son or brother, as the case may be. We can find do trust our wives and mothers with the keeping of our honor and our homes. Surely we may trust them with the ballot.
Intermarriage Between the Races.
Discriminating laws against inter-
marriage between the various races in
the United States pale into insignificance alongside of the law of personal choice. White, colored, brown and red
folks continue to unite in marriage
just the same. Out in Minnesota quite
recently Louis Wong, a Chinese im-
porter, was married to Florence Strol-
berg, an American woman who was
an employee of the Chinatown.

BIG SCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC MEET
CROWDS CHEER FAVORITES.
College and Public School Sprinters Clash In Largest and Most Complete Tryout Ever Witnessed In Washington—List of the Twenty Events and Those Who Participated.
By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—Under the auspices of the Interscholastic Athletic association and the Public Schools Athletic league the largest and most complete athletic meet that was ever held among colored athletes took place in Convention hall recently.
Nearly 2,000 spectators filled the long tiers of seats that encircled the scene of the contests. There were twenty events, in which over 150 contestants participated. Throughout the evening enthusiasm ran high. The sight of the fleet runners speeding over the course, the sounds of songs, the echo of college yells, the crack of the starter's pistol-in fact, the very atmosphere was full of inspiration.
In the vast audience could be seen some of Washington's most prominent people. Educators, public officials, professional and business men. There were also present a good representation of the feminine sex. For the "smart set" the affair was an occasion for the display of some fashionable gowns. One could see here and there some of the latest creations in hats and dresses. Edward B. Henderson.
secretary and originator of the Public School Athletic league, was manager of the meet.
Howard and Alpha Teams Lock Horns
The premier event of the evening
was the relay race between the Howard university and the New York association one mile teams. It was expected that the former would win, but it disappointed its backers, as there was not a chance for any of the Howard runners to finish in front of his man. For the first two laps of the first relay the Howard man held his own and at one time led his opponent, but in the last stretch he became weak and finished at least fifteen yards behind his man. The next two men who ran for the New York association increased the lead about five yards to a man. When Gray, the former Amherst college man, took up the running for Howard, he was forty yards behind, but he ran an excellent race and made up more than two-thirds of the distance.
The relay race for the championship of the colored high schools was won by the Armstrong Technical school with Howard academy second. The Armstrong men ran away with the race from the start, leaving second place to be fought for by the M Street high and Howard academy. The time was 4 minutes 10 1-5 seconds, which was very good. The mile open handicap was a well run event, and while the time made was not fast the contestants finished well together. Warf of Armstrong Technical school was first, Quarles of Howard academy second and Golnes of M Street high third. The time was slow, the distance being done in only 5 minutes 17 3-5 seconds.
The basketball game between the Howard university and the Alpha Physical Culture club of New York was one of the features of the meet. Howard clearly showed its superiority and led in the scoring from the start. The game itself was considerably marred by the number of times that time was taken out for the different men. The final score was 28 to 16.
Elementary and Scholastic Dashes. The heats of the dashes went off in good style, there being few hitches in deciding those who were to compete in the finals of the sprints. The dashes to be contested were the fifty yard elementary, scholastic and open. The best time made in any heat was six seconds flat.
The finals of the elementary fifty yard dash was won by Ford of Langston school, with Ellis second and Gar rison third. The time was six and one-fifth seconds, which was exceptionally fast for the grade school boys. The final of the scholastic fifty was won by Burwell of Armstrong in five and three-fifth seconds. He is the champion of the Interscholastic Athletic association. Thomas of Armstrong was second, with Dismond of Howard third. The time for this event was as fast as has ever been made in any scholastic fifty yard dash in the country.
Curtis of Howard university was first in the fifty yard open, with the time of five and four-fifth seconds, one-fifth of a second slower than Burwell won the scholastic. Coverdale of Wissahickon school club won second honors, while Williams, running unattached, captured the medal for third place.
The senior relay race for the championship of the graded schools was captured by Miner school in easy fashion from Stevens. The second man for Miner opened up a ten yard lead, and it was gradually increased to about thirty.
In the eleventh division for the senior relay championship of the schools Cook school won from Mott by twenty yards in fast time.

ELMER. BOWMAN.
The clever negro song writer who is traveling with the Billie Burke Co., will not be in Denver for some time, as the company is en route to Canada, where they are *booked* for three months.
THE HOME LIKE PLACE.
All the fond memories that cluster about "home" are typical of the pleasure that the members of the Railroad Men and Waiters' club have for their social home at 2149 Crutis street. The quiet nook and entertaining book have many devotees there, and the reading room is just what it claims to be. Of course, the other departments have charm, and not the least popular is the one presided over by Mr. Rollins, the soft voiced, soothing, entertaining mixologist.
If Charlie Singleton and J. W. McCain think they can keep up the record they made the other day in whist, just give us a return game.
ALONZO GOVERN.
A young composer and actor, Alonzo Govern, late of the Howard theatre, Washington, D. C., was given judgment last week to the extent of $175, or $25 a week for every week that one of his latest songs has been used by the "My Friend from Dixie" company, which has been using his song for seven weeks without permission to do so. The case was taken in court and Judge Goodnow handed down a decision in young Govern's favor.
KID BOY BROWN
Kid Brown of Denver is certainly in bad, wants to fight and nobody will box him. Why? Because, I gueess, he is a hard nut to crack.
WRESTLING AMONG THE
NEGROES.
Throughout the whole country negroes are beginning to take up the art of wrestling and we will soon be having a few more top notchers with Iller Vincent, the Black Demon, as the leader. Little Bud also.
KID EDWARD TURNER, THE PIANO MAN.
Kid Edward Turner, the clever negro rag time piano player of Missouri, is out with a big bet that he can beat any rag time piano player in Denver, barring nobody. Any one wishing to accept this challenge will call at the R. M. A. C. at once for the particulars of said challenge.
RUBE FOSTER AND BASEBALL.
Rube Foster, one of the best negro ball players in the country, is said to have the best ball team there is in the country. Foster led his team to the front last year and expects to do the same this year, as they all play ball.
R. M. A. C. QUARTETTE AT EL JEBEL.
Never before in the history of the Jebel temple for Shriners was there such a crowd as that of last Monday night. Never before in all their singing career did the R. M. A. C. quartette sing as they did that night. The quartette was the hit of the bill of fifteen big vaudeville acts, and the only negro entertainers on the bill excepting George Elkins, the champion buck dancer of the state. Their songs were of the latest and in fact they enthralled the audience with their songs. They sang with much feeling and temperament, and were made the stars of 'one of the largest vaudeville shows ever given in Denver by the Shriners.
BOOR JACK JOHNSON.
The following was noted of the champion in a California paper: Jack Johnson, the pride of the colored race, while awaiting his hearing in Judge Conlon's court for speeding, claimed that it was proof conclusive that he wasn't speeding, for the fact that the officer was able to arrest him. And also said if he had been speeding the officer wouldn't have seen him, much less arrest him.
COMING AT THE R. M. A. C., RAG TIME PIANO CONTEST.
Get ready, boys, for one of the biggest piano contests ever pulled off at the club. There will be several prizes and all entries must be made before the 27th of the month.
THE HOWARD THEATRE, WASH
INGTON, D. C.
A three act musical comedy entitled "His Honor the Barber," from the pen of Edwin Hanford and played by the famous Smart Set Co., with S. H. Dudley as the star, opened a return engagement last Monday night at the Howard theatre. This is the second time this famous company has been seen at the Howard this year. Alda Overton Walker also introduced a new singing and dancing specialty that was a great credit to her and company. The Smart Set will play Pittsburg next week.
MAE WHITMAN & CO.
Miss Mae Whitman and her toy comedians have just finished six weeks of the Reid & Palmer time and is being booked for the Joel circuit. The act is new and a hit of the South and it will be some time before she and company will be able to come north.
MISS HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS.
The talented elocutionist, Miss H. V. Davis, has reached St. George's Bermuda islands and reports everything all O. K. She is drawing large and appreciative audiences and is proving to be a revelation to the English people on the island, who rarely see colored dramatic readers or actors. Miss Davis will spend a month in Bermuda, under the direction of Mrs. A. L. Burggess. She has secured from W. Edgar Easton, also the author of Dessalines, the entire right to produce his latter work, Christopher, in which the stellar role gives Miss Davis an unprecedented opportunity for the display of her wonderful tragic powers. Miss Davis expects to visit London and to witness the coronation of King George V in June.
THE D. A. C. BOYS' BASEBALL CLUB.
J. W. Phillips, Captain.
At last the boys are together and are certainly doing some fine work at try outs, and Manager John Carter would like a game as early as possible with any club team in the city. This is a line up on the team:
Stevens, p; Jas. Berry, c; J. W. Phillips, 1b; J. B. Stewart, 2b; Jean Carter, 3b; J. Carrie, ss; J. Williams, cf; C. Robinson, rf; L. Hubbert, If; John Carteer, manager.
S. H. DUDLY & AIDA OVERTON WALKER.
In his Honor the Barber, S. H. Dudy, Aida Overton Walker and the rest of the old Smart Set Co. are supposed to be the largest and best negro company on the road this season. They are meeting with great success everywhere and it is likely that they will go to Europe this coming fall, as they are already considering big offer.
JOHN LARKINS & JENNIE PEARL
Jolly John Larkins and wife, known as Jennie Pearl, now starring in the Black Patti Co., will go on the next season heading their own company in A Royal Coon. Miss Pearl has developed into one of the very best soubrettes on the stage, and with the constant learning she will be in a class by herself. Of course, everybody knows that John Larkins, the old time comedian, is still a top nother, so why shouldn't they make a great success at the head of their own company?
At the Bon Ton pool room these days they are having some match games that draw big audiences. Yesterday there was one between R. E. Black of Birmingham and E. C. Manning of New York. On Monday there will be another between Manning and Roger Ensley. The Bon Ton is making a strong appeal to lovers of pool and its tables are always busy.
MIDNIGHT IN THE OZARKS
and yet sleepless Hiram Scranton, of Clay City, Ill., coughed and coughed. He was in the mountains on the advice of five doctors, who said he had consumption, but found no help in the climate, and started home. Hearing of Dr. King's New Discovery, he began to use it. "I believe it saved my life," he writes, "for it made a new man of me, so that I can now do good work again." For all lung diseases, coughs, colds, la grippe, asthma, croup, whooping cough, hay fever, hemorrhages, hoarseness or quinny, it's the best known remedy. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by all druggists.
PERSONAL MENTION
One of the new inventions in the motor world took place after a party on the 4th inst., when certain gallant young men had taken home their company in a machine and returning via of Speer Boulevard when the machine suddenly broke down. It was then that the machine changed from a six horse power "Chalmers" to a "four man" power negro.
Mrs. Unity Hall is improving from her operation.
Note the announcement of West Brothers for Easter. Remember there is music too.
Mr. Daniel D. Walton, wife and daughter of Montreal, Canada, passed through the city this week en route to Los Angeles. Mr. Walton is one of the wealthiest and most influential negroes of Montreal. They were met at the depot by Mr. Bert Ellis, who accompanied them as far as Pueblo. Returning, Mr. Ellis visited his sister, Mrs. Eva L. French, of Colorado Springs.
Mrs. Bertie Tellis of Cheyenne, Wyo., spent Tuesday in the city en route to Kansas City, Kas.
Mr. C. L. Jones, an employee of the D. & F. stores, left Tuesday for New Albany, Miss., to visit his mother. His friends think the visit is for other reasons.
Mr. Edward Jackson, one of Denver's prominent young men, is elated over the fact that he recently fell heir to $20,000 from his grandfather's estate in Houston, Tex.
Misses Grace and Irene Walker made glad the hearts of several friends with an elaborate dinner Sunday at 4 o'clock p. m. Covers were

laid for eight, and that number partook of one of the most wholesome of dinners. The dinner was prepared by the young ladies and their mother, and in order to make the best impression each claimed to have done the most. The table was beautifully decorated with pink and white. Mr. Wilbur Wood did the carving and pitching, while Misses Senora Finley, Stella Green, Messrs. Bert Patrick and C. E. Langston did the cathing. We cannot fail to mention the fact that after his performance as pitcher Mr. Wood did some cathing himself.

Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty to remove from our midst our daughter, Ardessa Peterson, we wish to thank our many friends for their kindness during her illness. Our heart cannot express our thankfulness and for the many flowers and offering of silver, for which we thank all, and also the Western Life & Accident Co. for their prompt payment of death claim. And we also commit her to One that doeth all things well.
