Good music, good order and a large crowd assured. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.-Strange as it may sound, yet it is true that one of the most stubborn obstacles that the Negro in music and drama has had to overcome was a strongly intrenched prejudice against Negro professional stage people that dominated the cultured and refined members of his own race. But the Negro artists in music and drama have now at last the "heart and hand" of the better class of their own people. A most striking illustration of this fact was demonstrated recently when the Hackley-Colridge-Taylor-Dunn-Aldridge-Walker-Cole Dramatic club of this city presented for two nights at the new Howard theater a most remarkable and historic musical and dramatic entertainment which was participated in by some of the most celebrated colored artists. The entertainment, which drew crowded houses both nights, was called "the George Walker memorial," and the proceeds are to be applied to a fund to erect a suitable monument to A AIDA OVERTON WALKER. the late George Walker, "America's greatest straight comedian and most successful pioneer of the Negro profession." On the stage as participants were the leading colored professional artists in music and drama as well as leaders in education, in the professions and in other high walks of life. There was Alda Overton Walker, the foremost colored woman on the American stage today. There was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, noted lecturer and educator, schooled in the best universities of America and Europe, and J. Rosamond Johnson, celebrated musical composer, partner in the well known Cole and Johnson team. Mrs. A. M. Curtis, famed as the head directress of the exhibit at the James-town exposition, wife of Dr. A. M. Curtis, the noted surgeon, who is president of the National Medical association; Mrs. Robert H. Pelham, former director of music in Howard university, the wife of Robert H. Pelham, newspaper man and census official; Tutt and Whitney, clever comedians, who have starred together and won satire; Natalie; Owlwave Cameron White, famed concert violinist, who studied the "king of instruments" master in this country and abroad; Andrew Tribble, known to and wide as the Negro Julian Ettinger Troy, the sweet tenor; Guy, who gives promise of being a tragedian, and many others. Never before had such a brilliant array of professional amateur and nonprofessional talent been presented to an audience at the nation's capital. And the chief credit goes to young R. G. Doggett, a junior college student in Howard university. He is president of the club, under whose auspices the memorial was got up. It was his mind that conceived the mammoth project. The program was indeed unique and intensely interesting. The progress of the Negro on the stage was emphasized not only in the remarks of the speakers, but by the splendid performances of the professional and amateur artists. The program in detail was as follows: Remarks by the president of the club, R. G. Doggett: Introduction of Mrs. Terrell by Mrs. Robert Pelham; "George Walker, the man." Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Part 2. One act playlet by R. G. Doggett, Alda O. Walker, Mrs. A. M. Curtis and Mrs. Robert Pelham, "Evolution of Negro Music"; cast: Hostess, Mrs. A. M.

The Lyric orchestra was conducted for this special occasion by Mr. James Reese Europe, president and conductor of the famous Symphony orchestra of New York city. With the funds they have already secured and with the funds that will come through the contribution of those interested this club not only proposes to erect a monument to the late comedian, but also to have two paintings of Walker made by a noted colored artist in Paris—one of the paintings to be of Walker in street dress, which will be hung in the new Carnegie library at Howard university; the other to be of Walker in his celebrated pose as "Bonbon Buddy, the Chocolate Drop," which will be presented to the Frogon club, the famous meeting place of colored professional stage people in New York city. Beginning of the Negro on the Stage. What "may be termed the renal sance of the Negro stage began with the phenomenal success of Williams and Walker in the production of "In Dubuoya" about eight years ago. Slave that remarkable company made declined "nns" playing to the aristocracy of this country and the king and queen and the royalty in general of England the Negro on the American stage has made great progress. "In Datonney," "Abyssinia" and "Bandana Land" the great plays of the great Williams-Walker company are but museums that mark the progress of the black artists. Young Negroes of a high degree of intelligence some of college training have given serious thought and study to the stage, thereby producing first class performers as well as creditable dramatic writers. In music the professional Negro has also brought a large measure of intelligence and industry to his work. The leading professional Negro musicians have studied under celebrated masters, some of them having finished their musical education abroad under the direction of the old world masters.

JOSEPH-PARKS NUPTIALS. A very pretty home wedding was olemnized at the residence of Mrs.ora Joseph, 2452 Gilpin street on last Wednesday evening, when her daughter, Ziporrah, became the wife of Mr. William Parks. The spacious FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention Pages Three, and Six parlors were radiant and beautifully decorated in natural flowers; the corner where the bridal party stood was banked in palms, asparagus ferns and white Canterbury bells. The ceremony was witnessed by the family's most intimate friends. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Miss Eva Jones, who presided at the piano, accompanied Miss Lenora Findley whil she sang impressively and beautifully De Koven's "I Promise Thee," after which bursted forth the joyous strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Rev. A. M. Ward, pastor of Shorter's A. M. E. church, who made the two in one, took his position and awaited the entrance of the bridal party. Mrs. Joseph entered, escorted by her son, Mr. Sumner G. Joseph: following after an interval, was the bride's most intimate friend. Miss Carrie Barnes, daintly gowned in a robe of heavily embroidered lingerie, trimmed with rich lace and a tinge of blue messaline, made Empire effect. She carried a bouquet of mixed flowers tied with tulle. Next came the bride's sister, Miss Carrie Joseph, who wore a costume of white Marquisette, with ball trimming lace and striped with pink messaline. The whole design being after the Grecian model. She carried pink sweet peas tied with pink tulle. Mr. Fred Stone of Lawrence, Kans, as best man, escorted the groom. They were attired in the conventional black. The bride, tall and graceful, then entered, leaning on the arm of her brother-in-law, Dr. P. E. Spratlin. She was exquisitely gowned in a creation of white crepe du chene, en traine, made in Empire effect with draped waist of messaline trimmings intermingled with rich, rare lace and tassel adornment. The hand made satin roses of Parisienne origin made a beautiful finishing to the altogether fashionable robe. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. After the usual congratulations the guests were refreshed; those assisting the bride in the details for the evening were the X. T. Z. Girls, a clut of young ladies of which she was one of the promoters; they were Misses Martha Hubbard, Ethel Burns, Mrs. H. Johnson. A number of telegrams from out-of-town friends poured in. Miss S. Findley caught the bride's bouquet thrown from the top of the stair case. The many gifts were beautiful and costly from cut glass, silverware, bric-a-brac, linens, electroliers, etc. The bride is really looked upon as a Denver product, having come here with her parents when but a tiny child. She was educated in the public schools of this city and has been a teacher of Domestic Science in both St. Louis and Kansas City, the latter position she held until her marriage. She is a model young woman whom Denver points the finger of pride to. The groom, Mr. Parks, is young, of high standing and sterling qualities, coming from one of the old reliable families of Topeka, Kans. He has lived here for the past eight or nine years. Denver may well feel proud of these young people as they start out on life's matrimonial sea. They left amid a shower of rice and old shoes for their home 326 Jason street where they will be at home to friends after July 15. Bon voyage! Miss Carrie Barnes gave a delightful surprise shower to Miss Zipporah Joseph at her residence, 773 Franklin street on last Monday afternoon. The young ladies brought a number of pretty, useful articles. The bride-to-be was blindfolded and placed in the center of the room and showered with the numerous gifts. An interesting short love story was read. Music and choice refreshments was the order of entertaining. Miss Joseph was the recipient of a linen shower by friends in Kansas City previous to her departure from that place. FIRST ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT National Religious Training School Scores Big Success. FEATURES OF THE EXERCISES Men of National Repute Attend Closing Exercises of Wall Governed Institution Founded by Dr. J. E. Shepard—Every Race Must Have Its Own Leadera, Says Judge Stafford. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Durham, N. C.—The first annual commencement of the National Religious Training school recently held in Durham was one of the greatest educational events among the race ever held in this city. The standard and scope of this institution were evidenced by the men of national reputation in attendance. The growth of the school was a startling feature to the many prominent visitors of both races from many sections of the country. The exercises began with the annual musical, which was attended by a large number of music lovers from all parts of the state and was conceded by musical critics to have been a high class affair. The baccalaureate address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Augustus P. Record, pastor of the Church of the Unity, Springfield, Mass. Dr. Record's subject was the "Unfinished Task." Many people, conspicuous in educational and religious spheres, attending the oratorical contest of the institution said that for the first year's work of the school the contestants showed a training that was remarkable and that the proper conception of the possibilities for the great and farreaching success of the plans of the founder and president of the institution were evidenced in the work of the contestants. The address to the undergraduates by President James E. Shepard was also a pertinent feature of the exercises. The address to the literary societies was delivered by Dr. P. W. Few, president of Trinity college in Durham. He spoke in part as follows: I am always glad to come into contact with single individuals or a whole people who have great tasks before them, especially if they are willing fairly and fearlessly to confront their great tasks. Circumstances have set before you the high task of building in a short time and under surroundings of a well developed society a worthy civilization of your own. There are features of the case that make your case unique. We never anything else just for the world. Then, too, you in Durham are making unusual efforts, with extraordinary success, to work out the problems of your destiny. And you are working out your destiny here under peculiarly favorable conditions, for I am sure that the relations existing between the white and colored races in Durham are better than I have observed elsewhere in America. To help your race forward and to improve these good relations between the two races is an opportunity for which this institution ought to be most grateful. In thoughtful minds one misgiving. As an American, I feel the feeling that in our system of public education too little direct effort is being made to produce soundness of character. This is the fruit of right education that is most difficult to set about cultivating. It is, I think, the immense difficulty of the task that has caused it to be neglected and a failure to appreciate the importance of it, for I take it that everybody regards character as the supreme thing in men. Yet this supreme thing in men is still treated as only an accidental byproduct of American public education. To give this supreme thing the ascendant place in education is the work yet to be done in America, and it can only be done by the combined efforts of teachers who know the true meaning of education and of training of their children the first thing should be put first, and those two forces must be backed by a courageous public opinion that can estimate moral as justly as it estimates material values. I feel especial interest in your school because, as I understand it, you are here really setting the fruits of character high above every other consideration and because you seem to see clearly that personal and national character must rest upon a religious basis. The fundamental committal of this institution to the Christian religion and to the moral causes to mankind constitutes its main source of power and gives it its chief opportunity for service to the American people. The annual commencement address was delivered by Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, associate justice supreme court of Columbia, at which time three young ladies received their diplomas from the commercial department. His address was one of the most inspiring ever heard in this city. He said in part: This school was born of the realization of this deep truth, that every race must have its leaders. It is not enough to provide for the average man. You must provide likewise for the exceptional man. You must encourage leadership. You must see that those who by nature and ambition are calculated to lead shall be by education and discipline fitted to lead wisely. Every race will have its leaders. The male will have leaders. We cannot prevent it. But we can see to it that they are well trained. We can see to it that they shall be filled with true ideals of service. The time has gone by when you could put the human mind into a dungeon. The instinct for something better is unconquerable. Men will have light. They will have their share in the fruits of the world's progress. No dead weight of opposition can ever keep down the mighty instinct of growth. Vendell Phillips and the landlord, "The American luxuriant Italian summer upheave the colossal foundations of the Caesar's palaces and leave them a mass of ruins." Where there is life there will be growth. If you plant an acorn in a vase the acorn will die or else the vase will crack. Of all the follies that ever took possession of the human mind the supreme folly is to suppose that you can keep a man in ignorance if he wants to learn. ing the class day exercises of the academy came the following exercises: Thursday, May 5 - School of Theology, annual alumni conference, 11:30 a. m. annual intern and luncheon, 1:30 p. m. 2:30 p. m.; graduation exercises.

It will be occupied by the School of Manual Arts and Applied Sciences. This is a three story brick building, 100 by 40 feet. The university printing press and engineering laboratories will occupy the basement, the second floor will be occupied by the woodworking department, two lecture rooms and the department of domestic arts, and a drafting room will occupy the third floor.

THE STATESMAN—2 FOUNDER'S DAY DULY OBSERVED SPEECH BY ROBERT C. OGDEN Nineteenth Anniversary of the Institution Directs Attention to Its Benefactors—What It Has Accomplished Under the Effective Leadership of President Collier and His Co-officials. Jacksonville, Fla.—Founder's day of the Florida Baptist academy was observed recently for the first time since the school was founded. It was an auspicious event among Afro-Americans in this section of Florida. Becoming cognizant of the great work being done at this institution, a number of the country's ablest educators and well known philanthropists accepted the opportunity to visit the college and make a thorough inspection of the work. Nineteen years ago this institution was started for the purpose of meeting one phase of the educational exigencies of the race in Florida: The scope of the work is now beyond the sanguine expectation of Professor N. W. Collier and Miss Sarah Blocker, the great servitors of the cause, who have been with the institution since its inception. The work of these faithful pedagogues was praised by a number of the prominent visitors. Mr. Robert C. Ogden, one of the race's greatest benefactors, was present and evidently was inspired by the thoroughness of the preparation of the students. His speech was full of optimism and proved exclusively that he was allied with the element working to develop the Negro for a mission contributing to the success of all movements for the comfort of man. He emphasized the necessity of allowing silent fidelity to the highest ideals to be a potent factor in the student's life and that ultimately the proscription so evident against the ambitious Negro would succumb to that which is just and uplifting. In his characteristic manner Rev. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard university, addressed the large, cultured audience, eloquently spoke of the institution and elicited applause by his manly stand for the principles that make for a well rounded person. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of the First Baptist church, Knoxville, Tenn., sustained his reputation as a forceful speaker, and, being identified with the school in its incipiency, his narration of the early struggles of the school and its final achievements was enlightening and interesting. The man who is now in the limelight because of his energies being largely used for certain necessary reforms for the good of the inhabitants in the south, Dr. B. F.

The personality of Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hampton institute, and the atmosphere produced by this noted educator and Christian gentleman were wholesome, and the institution and community were benefited by his presence. Rev. George Sales, superintendent of the education work of the American Baptist Home Mission society of New York, with a number of the other speakers, commended Professor Collier for the ennobling work that he was doing. Demonstrations in cooking and sewing and excellent papers by a number of the students showing the high literary work of the school as the industrial feature were among the other attractions of the week. Miss Mary Berthune, the founder of the Girl's industrial school, Daytona, Fla., was present and was conspicuous at the various exercises. A number of the leading white pastors of the city were present and evidenced a keen interest in the work. Dr. J. E.

Ia at sre J Enc tarda’, Wh “nt Lose His Services. ‘The trustees of the Corey Memorial institute, Portsmouth, Va., in accept- ing the resignation of Principal B. F. McWilliams, which becomes effective at the close of the present school year. ‘spoke of hilin as follows: His removal from the head of our educational insti- tution takes from us one who bas proved himself more than worthy of our confidence. one who has shown himself to be an educator of the fore- most rank and one who has developed our work so wonderfully. We have for him only feelings of profound grati- tude and words of loudest praise. Professor McWilliams is ‘a man of deep learning, practical experience and perfect dequaintance with the problem of education. He fs a man of great moral force and character and a per- fect example of the possibilities of Christian education. He is equally at home at the editor's desk, in the classroom and in the pulpit. He finds his perfect complement In his accomplished wife, who is to bim a helpmeet indeed and in truth and who figures prominently in all of bis achievements. They have erected a monument in orr hearts and affertions which will perpetuate thelr memory while time and being last. While we are loath to give them lp, yet our prayers and best wishes go with them wherever the Lond shall lead them. [They are leaving all the doors In tide “water open behind them.

Entered as second class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. There is a growing disposition in Denver to deny to colored people ac commodations at soda fountains and the like. It happens to be a fact that the growth of prejudice has been an incentive to Negroes to make the most of their opportunities so that it has not been an unmitigated evil. In the recent cases of additional proscrip. tion, as is usual, the improper act of members of our race is the cause as- signed. In one case it was. the ten- dency of colored customers to “visit” after they have purchased what they wish. Colored people should remember that they are a race apart. Where a white customer can “visit and it go unnoticed a colored visitor is easily distinguished and there is a percent. age of people sufficiently prejudiced to shun the store that permits it. The whole proposition of loitering around places of business is wrong. Whether it be a colored business or a white ‘one, spend your money and go about your business, if your time {s not worth anything, the other person's is. At any rate, it looks shiftless to waste the most yaluable asset there is in life. Whether restrictions grow greater or less, regardless of preju- dices, our own good sense tells us to make the best use we can of our strength, our brains and our time. Persons who idle about us and inter- fere with us, are trespassers. THE TROTTER POUND PARTY. So far down in the scale of pros- perity has the Boston Guardian fallen that friends of Editor Trotter are so- liciting funds to recompense him for “the heroic sacrifices which have been made by him and his family and to keep the Guardian going to champion the cause of our race and humanity in general.” Pride goeth before a fall and in the appeal for charity it is easy to read the downfall of the high hopes that Trotter had that his doc- trines and his paper would find ample financial support. It is not our pur- pose to discuss the Trotter principles, but whether one agrees with him or not, it seems to us to be a clear con- fession of inadequacy when they do not find support enough to live. The raising of funds for the Guardian, out- side of the legitimate channels through which a newspaper can be supported convicts him of poor business quall- tles, or convicts the race of lack of appreciation of its worth. It seems to us to be a first requisite of busi- ness, whether newspaper, restaurant, lodge or even church, that it be self- sustaining. It is commercial incom- petency which is our most serious hanideap. Even though we were to grant that Trotter was right, we should still doubt his usefulness to the race so long as his business {s a fail- ure and his prominence in fighting for manhood rights, only serve to bring out the more clearly his inabil- ity to measure up to the standards set for success. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION. Professor Joiner’s Efforts Double State ‘Aid For: Noted Gohool, ‘Wilberforce. O.—The seventy-nintb assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institu: tions which usually receive financial aid from the state. Wilberforce uni: versity wax the only school whose ap- propriation for 1911-12 was not cut be- Jow that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twen- ty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years. On taking churge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Joiner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a ebange in the method of submitting es- timates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. There are four educational institu- tiuns ip the state for which the legin- Jature appropriates. Wilberforce | is ne of these institutions. The three white colleges had their appropriatiqns more than cut in half, while the mount asked for Wilberforce was al- Jowed to the last cent ‘The special appropriations amount to $01,220.00; the pro rata of the general Jevy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46,500. This added to the spe- ial appropriations makes for Wilber- force $137,720.80 for 1911 and 1912. Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000. for 1911. $12,600; appro- priation for industries for 2910 was $4000, for 1911 it wae 84,617.85, but ‘probably the most important incredse, both as to amount and significauce to the plant at this time is the incrense in the amount obtained for repairs and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. ‘The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1.800; the amount carried by the present ap- propriation for such purposes is $18.- 000, or just “ten times the amount which was available for the past two years.

The Negro business men of Omaha have organized a big co-operation that consists of some of the best men in that city; they are contemplating a big Negro theater with a seating capacity of 1,200, theater building to cost something like $30,000. BERT WILLIAMS TO CONTINUE IN FOLLIES. At the beginning of last season some of the prominent theatrical men of our race tried to do everything in their power to keep Bert Williams, the world wide famous Negro comedian from playing with the big white aggregation. Follies of 1910. And in a way, Williams made a half way promise that he would only play the one season with that company, but from late reports, it is rumored that Williams has signed a contract for another season with the Follies, greatly against the will of a race of people who need him much more so than do that of the whites. ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ON A VACATION No doubt this is the performers' long yearned for season of the year. This is the time that the theatrical man or woman can sit down for a day or two and rest their weary bones. Of course, the work on the stage looks easy and in some cases it is easy, but nine cases out of ten it is harder than it looks to be. All totaled among the colored performers, there are something like 2,200 in the business and during the past year they were all kept very busy, and at this time some of them are able to realize some very neat bank accounts for their services before the public. BAT THOMPSON AND KID BERRY One of Denver's local bantams, James (Kid) Berry, is now hovering under the little brown wings of Battling Thompson, the champion Negro middle-weight fighter of the United States army. The Battler is very much impressed with Kid Berry and his work, and says with the right training Berry could be made a world's wonder in the bantam class. SPECIAL NOTICE.

Johnson, late partner of Bole Sole, will devote his time this coming season in producing female acts in vaudeville.

Readable! this globe is great literature, As a warrior, it holds its own And it's a mighty man, a fighting man That can conquer it all by his lone. This circle is inhabited with many people, Some are strong and others weak And there are many languages That very few of us can speak. Our colors are like mixed flowers; Black and white, red and brown and yellow, too. So why hot make the best of flowers This world belongs to you, too. —Leon Pryor. The scarcity of good athletes is due to the lack of competition. Field meets, foot ball games and other events are so rare that a young man does not care to properly train; hence we have inferior exhibitions most of the time. When the young men become enthused and are encouraged by the community, boy's will be spending the leisure hours in obtaining physical perfection instead of seeking some place of amusement which will destroy their health.
