FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN
A TOWN ENTIRELY NEGRO
Twenty-Second Year

A Denver Woman Oklahoma an
Observations.
Farmer, lumber merchant, builder and contractor, alderman, founder of the electric light and power company, organizer of the commercial club, president of the Boley Progress and Printing Co., owner of valuable lands, reality and personal properties, father of three interesting children, ages respectively 8, 11 and 14, and devoted husband to one of Boley's most tallented and charming women. This is an imperfect outline of the busy life . the Hon. J. H. McMiley of Boley, Okla., the one exclusive Negro town of Oklahoma. Captains of industry, giants of commerce, men who have created and built up by their strength of will and domineering perseverance gigantic enterprises, usually are described as having high foreheads, square jaws and eyes of cold steel.
I thought of all these things which we read of in connection with the white race as I sat on this man's veranda and listened while he talked of electric light plants, water systems, bridges, street paving, sanitary conditions, parks, in fact, all of the many problems that must be solved by every city, and, as I listened this thought came to me, those men who have made America great and whose names are household words have done and are not doing any more proportionally in their sphere than are these clear-sighted, heavy-jawed Afro-American leaders in laying the foundation of a great city for colored people. Associated with Mr. McRiley in this constructive work are a few of whom I wish to speak.
T. M. Haynes is credited with being the founder of Boley and is truly one of the most remarkable men in America. He has always had the setup and do-things in him. He is worth thousands and has placed members of his race in a position to dwell in peace and accumulate plenty of this world's goods. Mr. Haynes is a business mon whose word is as good as his bond and his judgment is sought and accepted by men of all races. D. J. Turner is the genial cashier of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank and is the owner of the largest and finest drug store in Oklahoma. This drug store is unique in that it has for its manager Miss C. M. Taylor, a very capable and charming woman. Her associate is another lady, Miss N. Georgia Jenkins. J. N. Burnett owns a department store carrying a stock of goods valued at $15,000.00.
J. R. Reynolds furnishes the brains that operate the Boley Light and Power Company. It is due to his efforts that Boley boasts of a splendid lighting service. Mr. Reynolds is the principal of the industrial and mechanical department of Wiley university at Marshall, Texas, and the young men who are operating the plant have received their training under his instructions.
W. Jones is the bright young postmaster who is looking after Uncle Sam's interest in Boley. H. C. McCantley is his assistant.
Professor Jordan Brewer teaches in the normal of the Boley high school building and is helping with a number of efficient teachers among them two of our Denver girls, Miss Mable Andrews and Miss Lola Jacobs to keep the intellectual standard of Boley on high ground.
T. L. Woods is the proprietor and owner of a dry goods house, stock valued at $20,000.00.
The Boley Progress is the official organ of Boley's inhabitants and is a neat little weekly edited by H. C. Gray.
The very unusual sight of a colored operator interested me. He wanted to send for me a message to Denver telling them that I was well and happy. His name is D. E. Pitgerald.
I could write all day and then could not tell about all the interesting people I met and visited in Boley. The city has 4,000 inhabitants, all colored, four churches, one large brick school house built at a cost of $15,000.00, several business houses of all kinds and a few pretentious dwelling houses. Most of the homes are neat frame structures with nicely kept gardens. Boley is surrounded on the east, west, north and south, for a distance of four or five miles by farms owned by colored people who spend their crop money there. Many of these farmers own city homes in Boley. The farms and the city. Like all the rest of Oklahoma, is suffering from the excessive heat and lack of water.
One other observation and I shall finish this letter. I failed to see and was told that there are no club rooms, pool halls and saloons in Boley. Every chance is given the boy to become a respectable man, thus in its beginning some of the features that lower the morals of some of the other Oklahoma cities are eliminated. If such conditions prevail and can continue Boley's progress is assured. Very respectfully, MRS. IDA C. DEPRIEST.

ASKS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR COLORED SOLDIERS
None Named In List For Promotion
In Regular Army.
The Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloah Baptist church in Washington and organizer for the National Independent Political league, recently addressed the following open letter to President William H. Taft; President William Howard Taft, Executive Director of the National Independent Baptist Church.
Dear Sir—Permit me on my own behalf and on behalf of the National Independent Political league to thank you for the stand you take against race prejudice in the army of the United States, of which you are commander in chief. Both myself and the league I represent stand for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens, and we feel it our duty to encourage the self of men who aid the same principle. We would beg to remind your excellency of the race prejudice which now exists and has existed for more than forty years against the colored men in the army and navy of the United States and to appeal to you as the commander of the land and naval forces of our country to use your influence and a good hand in upholding this hydra headed monster from the army and navy of our beloved country.
You will agree with me that the United States has no more loyal, brave, competent and self sacrificing soldiers than the colored men who have been and who are now enlisted in the army of this country, and yet feel a any iny of being in the regular army have been paid into the regular army as commissioned officers, and the examination of enlisted men for promotion to the position of second lieutenant in the regular army which you have ordered and which appeared in the public press June 9 does not contain the name of a single colored soldier, nor have any list for examination which has been ordered by you since your incumbency of the office of chief executive of the nation
We cannot believe that you mean to be a party to race prejudice in the United States army, nor do we believe that in the four regiments of colored soldiers in the United States army there are no enlisted men who are capable of passing the examination for second lieutenant. It must be that your failure to order such men before the examining board of the army for promotion is an oversight, and we believe you simply need to have this matter called to your attention; you will the future be colored soldiers as well as soldiers of Jewish or Hebrew extraction the same opportunity afforded white soldiers. Yours for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens. J. MILTON WALDRON, Pastor Shiloh Babist Church and National Organizer the National Independent Political League.
DR. B. B. WRIGHT HONORED.
Editor of Christian Recorder Elected a Delegate to Ecumenical Conference.
The bishops' council of the A. M. E. church, which recently closed its two days' session in Wilberforce, O., elected a representative to the ecumenical conference of Methodists which will meet in Toronto, Canada, next October.
The fortunate delegate is Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the youthful but successful editor of the Christian Recorder, which is the official organ of the A. M. E. church. This conference meets every ten years—its last meeting was in London in 1901—and it is one of the most important gatherings in Christendom.
Dr. Wright is a graduate of the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. He is one of the very few colored men who have won the Ph.D. degree from great American universities. His Ph.D. was conferred by the University of Pennsylvania, in which he had the distinction of holding the research fellowship in sociology for two years prior to his election as editor of the Christian Recorder.
Progress Noted in Journalism.
In order to keep pace with the latest developments in race journalism, Mr John H. Murphy, managing editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger has added a typesetting machine to the equipment of his newspaper plant Since moving to his new office at 625 North Eutaw street, Editor Murphy has added upward of $500 worth of improvements to his establishment.

NOTICE
Not because we wish to make odious comparison, but to prevent misunderstandings that arise when we keep silent. The Statesman wishes to give its rates for advertising entertainments and the reason for them. By the line, inserted in the local news advertising costs 5 cents. We have made a feature of entertainment advertisements, which are double column wide and six inches deep, and for these a uniform charge is made of $2.50 the first week and $2.00 for each week thereafter. These advertisements and all that are larger are given the best position in the paper, while smaller advertisements used for the same purpose, costing less in proportion, are given such other positions as remain when these have been placed. Therefore the six-inch double advertisement has been very profitable for entertainment givers and is almost universally used.
It is inevitable that some persons think this rate high and will draw that conclusion from rates given en by other papers. We have no desire to injure our competition, but in justification of our own rates, which have been unchanged for the last six years. The Statesman offers to any and all persons interested the opportunity to investigate its Denver circulation. Come any Friday at 5 o'clock and see for yourself that we are delivering the papers we claim. We have made our rate as low as we can and live. Papers sending two and three hundred and claiming two and three thousand undoubtedly can make rates with which we cannot compete. But just as the larger amount costs the most, so the most circulation brings the larger result and is worth the most. The Statesman offers its circulation at any time in proof of its claim that it has three times the circulation of any colored paper in Denver.
We hope this explanation of rates and conditions will set at rest the misrepresentations that have been used to confuse the public.
IMPORTANT COMING EVENT IN EDUCATIONAL CIRCLES.
State Teachers' Association to Hold Annual Session in Athens
Athena, Ga.—The twenty-ninth annual session of the Colored State Teachers' association will be held in this town for three days, beginning Monday, June 19. Unusual interest in the coming meeting has been awakened because of the hearty co-operation in the work by some of the leading white educators of the south, two of whom will deliver addresses. They are Mrs. Walter P. Hill and Professor E. C. Bronson, president of the State Normal school.
Everything is being done by the colored teachers to express the appreciation of the race for this timely assistance so willingly given by the white educators of the south. Much interest is also being manifested in the subject of agriculture, which will be presented in an attractive and helpful manner by Professor G. Crosby of the department of agriculture in Washington. Professor Crosby's views of the subject will be elaborated on by Dr H. F. Stockbridge of the Southern Ruralist.
Dr. Stockbridge has given much attention and study to the subject for years, especially in its relation to teachers. As a result of the work of Director P. O. Parks of the agricultural department of Clark university the colored teachers have been greatly helped and are giving more time and study to the many new features of this phase of industrial training. The meeting of the association at this particular time will do much in the way of bringing about a better understanding between the white and colored teachers as to the best methods and systems to adopt in literary and industrial training.

A CREDITABLE AFFAIR.
Miss Eva Jones, a recent graduate of Quindaro in music, entertained at a musical Wednesday evening complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Parks. The program was well rendered, showing that each performer had made careful study of their selection. Misses Jones and Grant opened the program with a piano duet, which was followed by a vocal solo by Miss Jennie Hicks, piano solo by Miss M. Jackson, vocal solo, Miss Carrie Joseph; solo, Miss Senora Finley. Miss Grant, a vocal instructor of Quindaro, rendered two choice selections which, like the rest of the program, was highly appreciated.
A toast was then given the bride and groom in which the speaker told in brief of some of their life's work, and wished them a pleasant journey through life's rugged way.
LIFE LINE CLUB LIVES UP TO ITS NAME.
A most remarkable charity which was begun some months ago by the Life Line club has just been brought to a close, when Mesdames Julia Hubbard and Florence Cooper, representing the club, presented to Mrs. Sophia E. Jones of 2857 South Sherman the release of the mortgage which had been hanging over her home. This club was inspired to extend the helping hand by seeing the heroic efforts which this widow was making for the care of her children and the saving of her home. Her serious illness which resulted from her nursing her husband in his last illness, together with the tasks above named, were more than the good women of the Life Line club could bear without extending aid. They began with monthly payments on the mortgage, and now that the summer vacation is at hand, raised the balance in bulk and paid it off.
Miss Clara Coleman of Denison, Texas, arrived in the city Tuesday, and, together with Mrs. C. Franklin, is spending the week at the Navajo cottage.
Mrs. Aggie Campbell, an old resident living near the depot, is dead and will be buried on Sunday if present plans hold.

Contee on Thursday night. They have been stopping with Mrs. A. R. Wilson.

RACE BENEFACTOR IN NEED.
Attention Called to Apparent Penniless
Condition of Harriet Tubman.
It Is reported that Harriet Tubman,
‘the veteran anti-slavery worker, un-
‘derground railroad promoter, clvil war
spy in the Union army and otherwise
benefactor of our race, is almost penni-
less in an institution at Auburn, N. Y.
Now. this condition ought not to exist
when we bave so many charitable and
benevolent organizations fully able to
financier a matter of this kind.
‘Where are two great organizations of
colored women in this country, besides
numerous smaller organizations, which
might investigate this matter and see
to it that this grand old heroine, path-
finder and precursor in many good
movements for the race should not in
her old age suffer for the necessities of
life.
Where is the National Association of
Colored Women's Clubs? Where is the
Northwestern Federation of Women's
Clubs? Either of them could provide
@ comfortable lving for Mrs. Tub-
man. This matter ought to be looked
into at once. It would be a disgrace
to our race if Mother Tubman were to
ie for want of proper attention In
the evenfng of her useful life.
RISING YOUNG MUSICAL
GENIUS’ BRIGHT FUTURE.
Brilliant Work of Miss Marie Burton
Praised by Mme. Hackley.
Young, handsome, ambitious, a star
at twenty, Miss Marie Burton of Chi-
cago has broken many records as a
songstress. She is perhaps the youngest
singer who has ever faced a New York
pre-Lenten audience. The celebrated
Herman de Vries was her instructor,
and she has sung before such critics
as Andreas Dippel and Signor Gatt!
Casazza of the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York. Even Mme. Aza-
Ma Hackley, known for years as the
leading singer of the race, graciously
yielded Miss Burton the palm—"'Sbe
will in time far surpass me.”
Marie Burton was born in Chicago
in 1890 and attended the public schools.
She studied music under a private tu-
tor and led the singing in Grace Pres-
byterian Sunday school. In 1906 she
entered the Chicago Musica! college
and graduated in 1909. Further study
was prevented by the death of ber
father. Williams and Walker wished to
engage her, but the young woman as-
pired to a greater Held than comedy.
In 1908, a year before she graduated.
Miss Burton represented Chicago at
Mme. Hackley's musical festival at the
Philadelpbia Academy of Music. In
1910 she went to New York and was
a star at the pre-Lenten. She spent
two months in New York, enhancing
her reputation. When Professor Harry
T. Burleigh was unable to keep an en-
Bagement to sing at the exclusive
Dutch Chapel church in Brooklyn he
asked Miss Burton to take his place.
She so captivated the audience that
a member of the Vanderbilt family
rushed up and pinned a bouquet of
orchids upon her corsage. In the col-
-ored social circles of New York Miss
Burton became a Honess and could not
‘keep half the engagements that were
thrust upon her.
Press comments on Miss Burton's
voice have been without exception lau-
dntory. The Chicago Evening News
praised her. ‘The Boston Guardian scid
that her voice was full of power and
promise. The Record-Herald called her
a dramatic soprano of unusual ability.
and the Amsterdam News was even
more complimentary. a
Race Prejudice in United States Army.
That race prejudice in America ts
not confined solely to Afro-Americans
is plainly seen in the case of Private
Frank Bloom, who is a Hebrew by
race, stationed. with his regiment, at
Fort Myer, Va. Bloom is seeking pro-
motion, and in considering his appll-
cation the commanding officer is said
to bave disapproved of it on the
ground that Bloom is a Hebrew and
therefore will not make a “desirable
social associate.”
Next Field Day to Be Held In Brooklyn
The uext annual field day of the fa
mous Third regiment of the Grand
Dnited Order of Odd Fellows will be
held in Brookign on Thursday. May
80, 1912. The lodges in Greater New
York will then have an opportunity to
show the fraternity such hospitality
as bas been their wont to do for « long
time.

HEROIC ACHIEVEMENTS BY COLORED AMERICANS NOTED
Physical Prowess Which Narrow Racial Bigots Cannot Gainsey.
While the mission of the Tuskegee (Ala.) student is primarily to record the progress and work of the students, graduates and friends of the Tuskegee institute, it nevertheless keeps a watchful eye, on the achievements of the race on the outside. It chronicles from the files of the Carnegie hero commission nine instances of daring and self forgetful devotion to others in peril which have won for colored men and women rewards given by the commission. In most of these cases the persons for whom death was braved were white. In six instances of heroism by colored persons at least one child was in danger of death when the effort to save life was made, nearly always with success. Two of the colored heroes perished in trying to rescue others.
It is well to keep such facts before the people of this country of mixed races and many nationalities. It tends to broaden the American outlook upon great national problems and to raise the average standard of justice and fair play. There is no denying the evidence of manhood and womanhood of the highest type which is furnished by self sacrificing heroism. A man who dies or braves death to save a child not in his care or related to him in any way is none the less a hero of the finest type because his skin is dark. Physical prowess is so truly at the bottom of the greater part of man's progress that it cannot be disregarded or lightly valued by the narrowest racial bigots. The evidence which the Carnegie hero fund records furnish that the noblest kind of courage and the most stalwart manhood are found among all races and classes is a wholesome influence in American life.
DR. COOPER'S FINE RECORD.
Made Presiding Elder After Successful Pastorate In Brooklyn.
In retiring from the pastorate of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church in Brooklyn, where he has pastored for the past five years, the Rev. Dr. A. R. Cooper made the following report of what he has accomplished during his administration:
Conversions, 179; accessions, 1,092; baptisms, 134; deaths, 106; missionary money, $652.45; total money raised from all purposes, $38,390.26. Beside this splendid record the church has been renovated, is free from debt, and over $2,000 has been paid on the parsonage.
Dr. Cooper is now presiding elder of the Albany (N. Y.) district of the New York conference of the A. M. E. demination.

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." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Governor Shafroth, at the earliest intimation that the killing of an officer in Rocky Ford, Colorado, by a Negro might result in the latter being lynched when caught, asked the assistance of the leading men of that community in preventing such a blot upon the state, and offered the sheriff the assistance of the militia if necessary. His telegram read:
Estes Park, Colo., July 5, 1911.
H. W. Potter, Sheriff, La Junta, Colo.
Understand there is danger of lynching negro. Protect at all hazard your prisoner. There is no excuse for mob law in Colorado. If guilty he is sure of punishment. Only one prisoner pardoned during my administration and he was innocent. Will call out National Guard if necessary. Colorado must not be disgraced
We congratulate Governor Shafroth on the promptness with which he acted. At the same time we recall other occasions when lynching was threatened, and cannot but compare his action with the indifference of other governors, to their disparagement. So long was murder by mob condoned where negroes were the offenders, that it will require some time for the hotspots to learn that mere numbers does not give them the right to kill.
Our comment upon this episode is incomplete were we not to mention the changed attitude of colored people. The fetish of the law which the white people of this country have raised for our adoration at all times, and for their own neglect when it suits their convenience, was sufficient for a long time to keep us in conformity. Certainly it received the moral support of Negroes who are considered good citizens. But so filmsy was the mantle of protection that law has thrown about us, even where we are not charged with crime, that it was no uncommon thing to hear sentiments expressed this week that Harris should run his course rather than submit to arrest and then be lynched. In other words, colored people have come to believe that white people have too little respect for the laws they make to forego the pleasure of a lynching. From a general respect for and obedience to the law, there has grown up a spirit among us that we must be sufficient unto ourselves at times. As the old Negro passes away and younger men come on, self sufficiency becomes more common. Moral support of self-sufficiency becomes more general. In no far distant day the whole crop of tares that has been sown by the indifference of officials to the upholding of the law, will be reaped unless strenuous efforts are made now to restore public opinion, black as well as white, to a healthy state.
The interest in Africa not merely from the standpoint of its civilization and evangelization, but as a future home for our race, gives a larger importance to the reports which we get first hand from travelers who have been there. For thirty years European nations have exploited the dark continent for gain. They have preempted the best portions of it. Yet its untold wealth is barely touched. The address of Dr. H. H. Jones at the missionary mass meeting tomorrow therefore possesses unusual interest and should be largely attended.
The report seems to be well founded that in a few days the Ninth Cavalry will once more be established in their old barracks at Ft. Russell, Wyo. The boys have been in maneuvering camp in Texas for four months and come away with records that are in the highest degree creditable.

TRUE REFORMERS MAKE A HIT.
The great excursion which the True Reformers take out of Denver next month will have one feature that brands the manager, A. C. Cash, as a hustler. It is one car set aside strictly for old people, members of the various churches who will be taken absolutely free. Since the number who would go might exceed the car capacity, application for a seat should be made to Mr. Cash at 2838 California or to Rev. W. C. Williams.
SCOTT M. E. CHURCH.
Mrs. Anna Dawson arrived from Independence Kansas, last Saturday. She will spend the summer in our city. Her health was undermined while in the Southeast.

A storm struck the parsonage last Wednesday night, led by Sister Pash, and when the debris had cleared away many eatable things were left for the pastor and his family. This was indeed acceptable on account of the high cost of living. Come aagin. The choir was reorganized last Friday evening. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Mary H. Mcks; secretary, Mrs. Lyles; treasurer, Mrs. Ada Castry; chorister, Mrs. Latrelle; librarian, Jessie Holmes. We expect great things from this organization. Miss Lelia Rice is the efficient organist. Mr. Cornellus Rice will leave for California next Monday. We regret much to see Mr. Rice leave at this time, as he is such an active and efficient member of Scott's. He goes on account of failing health.
the o%cial board voted a subscription rally for the last Sunday in August. The board alone subscribed $52.50. We will begin on the membership next week. The purpose of the rally is to chingle the church. Mrs, Jessie A. Burton departed this life last Sunday night at 10:10. She died triumphant in the faith. Her funeral was conducted from Scott's last Tuesday. She leaves a mother, two sisters, a brother, husband and son two years and four months, to mourn her loss. Her remains were laid to rest in Fairmount. Undertaker Law-horn was in charge.

IN MEMORIAM.
Sacred to the memory of my beloved wife who died one year ago, July 8, 1911.
Then mourn not death; 'tis but a stair
But with divinest art,
On which the deathless footsteps climb
Of loved ones who depart.
AUGUST ROBIEUX.
ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE.
"Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death," writes H. B. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. "Doctors said I had consumption and the dreadful cough and I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything, I could hear of, for my cough, and was under the treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C., for a year, but could no relief. A friend advised me to try Dr. King's New Discovery. I did so, and was completely cured. I feel that I owe my to this great throat and lung cure." It's positively guaranteed for coughs, colds, and all bronchial affections. 50c & $1.00. Trial bottle free at all druggists.

A merchant that believes in his goods will go lengths to prove their worth that is unusual. Such is the case with West brothers. They handle Baur's ice cream exclusively. They believe it to be the best, purest and most wholesome in the city. They therefore want you to know by actual trial how good it is. They want you to know also how high grade is the other food stuffs they carry. Their candies, their fountain drinks, their restaurant meals all will bear the most intimate knowledge. To induce you to make a closer acquaintance with Baur's cream, they are giving every purchaser of one quart of it, a check good for ten cents worth of trade. This is absolutely a free gift of ten cents, for everywhere Baur's cream retails for 50c per quart.

A. H. Handy who is well known to Denver as the president of the Volcano Cleaning Company has recently secured another patent, this one a device called a self-freezing refrigerator. It proposes to surround a containing compartment with coils, which, when filled with chemicals, will convert the compartment into an ice cold chamber. The cost of operating this device is estimated to be 60 cents for eight months. Its efficiency can be judged by the fact that it will create four inches of ice by mere contact with the coils. When put into general use, it will furnish the easiest, cleanest, best and cheapest refrigeration on the market.

Notwithstanding the rain of last Sunday the services at Zion were well attended. The pastor spoke at the morning hour, while Dr. H. H. Jones, of Liberia, Africa, preached at the evening service. Dr. John E. Ford, former pastor was among the visitors present.
At the close of the Sunday school the rite of baptism was administered to three of the scholars, Lenord and Genevieve Coby and Vivian Dunn. It is most refreshing to see so many of our children coming into the church from the Sunday school which is the best evidence of the good work being done by our teachers.
Great activity was shown in the B. Y. P. U. last Sunday evening. Bro. Walton's splendid control of this organization is becoming more apparent each week. The conduct of the lessons is intelligent and helpful, and the attendance and interest are on the increase. The subject discussed was "How Can I Best Serve My Country?" Young men and women who meet to study the Bible are serving their country in many ways of which they are not aware.
The excellent service rendered by our choir last Sunday deserves special mention. Few of us realize the worth of this organization to our church. The faithfulness of its members, their earnestness and loyalty are among the forces which make Zion progressive.
We are thankful that most of our sick are convalescent, the exceptions being Mrs. Fields, at St. Anthony's and Brother Andrews, who are both very ill.
A lady from Cheyenne, visiting our service Sunday evening, lost $30.00 in currency in the church. This is a very regrettable circumstance and we are making every effort to recover it. Any one who might have found the money will receive $5.00 by turning it over to the pastor or any of the officers.
Let us not forget the great carnival of all nations and midway to be held at the home of Brother L. H. Walton, 162 Fillmore street on July 26, 27 and 28. This is destined to be the greatest entertainment of its kind ever given in the city. Watch for fuller announcements.
At 3 o'clock Sunday a great missionary mass meeting will be held at the Shorter A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Ministers' Unio. Dr. H. H. Jones will address the meeting on the subject, "The Best Methods or Evangelizing Liberia." Dr. Jones will relate many of his experiences covering a period of more than four years, while many curious relics will be shown.
KILL MORE THAN WILD BEASTS.
The number of people killed yearly by wild beasts don't approach the vast number killed by disease germs. No life is safe from their attacks. They're in air, water, dust, even food. But grand protection is afforded by Electric Bitters, which destroy and expel these deadly disease germs from the system. That's why chills, fever and ague, all malarial and many blood diseases yield promptly to this wonderful blood purifier. Try them, and enjoy the glorious health and new strength they'll give you.

Benj. Holly and ye editor went fishing in Platte canon Saturday. What he thinks about fish he can best tell himself, but ye editor confesses with pride that he has discovered bushes and rocks by the score that were hitherto uncharted in those turbulent waters. Not a rock or bush from South Platte to Dome Rock escaped him. But the fish—why, they refused to eat the bait, raw, boiled, stewed or fried. We now understand why the singular and the plural of fish is the same—so that ambitious Isaac Waltons may draw the long bow and yet keep in sight of the truth. All persons thinking of going fishing may come to this office and get an avidaffit signed and witnessed, illuminated and framed, that so far as the editor is an authority, there is not a fish in all Platte canon. Yet such is the vanity that possesses our little souls, we shall he forth again, this time armed with rocks and a baseball bat, and we will bring home the bacon, if we have to get a diving suit to get it.

We desire to thank our many friends and acquaintances for the many kindnesses during the illness and death of our wife and sister. Through your kindness and consideration we were made to feel that we were not forgotten and the burden of immediate grief was made lighter. Yours in grief,
A light is from our household gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. We cannot tell who next may fall beneath thy chastening rod. One must be first but let us all prepare to meet our God.

THE ALLIANCE NOTES.
The July program of the People's Sunday Alliance was all that was expected of it. The name of Rev. Ford, founder of the organization, was the magnet that drew the people who comfortably filled the house. His address upon "Observations in the Southland," was instructive. But while the address of Rev. Ford was the feature of the occasion it was not the only number on the program for Dr. John Grass who spoke upon "The Need of Civic Virtue," was well received and highly approved by the audience. The music was furnished by Genevieve Coby, Muriel Henderson, Ora Warfield, Toussaint Dunn, Galena Andrews, Ruth Warfield, Andrew Kirk, Lena Lewis, Ethel Reese, burkle Harkie Harville, Darlene Reese, Louie Cates, McAlbert Banks, Ernest Harris, Willie Otis and Leonard Coby who composed Zion's Junior choir with Miss Beatrice Thrashily as pianist and Mr. Chas. A. Clark, choir-master.

For eight months I was unable to work. Death seemed close on my heils, when I began, three weeks ago, to use Dr. King's New Discovery. But it has helped me greatly. It is doing all that you claim."

ROBERT P. HAMLIN CALLED
TO INTERNATIONAL FIELD
eta of Carlton Avenue Branch,
¥.M.C. A, Suddenly Resigns.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
At the annual meeting of the com-
mittee of management of the Carlton
avenue branch of the ¥. M. ©. A. in
Brooklyn, held the last week in April,
Secretary Robert P. Hamiin’s report
showed an increase in the membership
ef the association and also that the
fiscal year closed without a deficit.
‘The election of officers, which was by
ballot, resulted as follows: Chairman,
‘Wyatt Eugene Tyler; vice chairman,
Richard 1, Jackson; recording secre
tary, Norman D. Johnson, Jr.
After remarks by different members
as to the bright outlook of the work
for the cusuing year Secretary Ham-
lin created a sensation by announcing
that he had partly decided to resign
the secretaryship for the purpose of
entering the international work of the
¥. M. C. A., as he had received a call
to that field. The members of the
committee at once gathered around
him for information as to why he had
acted so hastily in the matter without
informing either the officals of the
branch or the general secretary of the
centra! association of his intentions
to sever his connections with the Carl-
ton avenue branch.
Bat the only satisfaction Mr. Ham-
Min gave was that he thonght the mat-
ter between himself and the interna-
tional committee bad gone too far to
be withdrawn, “It 4s practically out
of my hands. I have decided to go,”
said Mr. Hamlin.
Robert P. Hamlin ts a native of
Northampton county, N. C., and re-
ceived his literary training at Shaw
university, where he graduated in the
class of 1900. During bis student days
at Shaw university Mr. Hamlin be
came interested in Y. M. C. A. work.
Soon after his graduation he returned
to Springfield, Mass., whither his peo-
ple had gone several years before. In
order to prepare himself for Y. M. C.
A. work Mr, Hamlin entered the In-
ternational ¥Y. M. C. A. Training
school. craduating with the class of
1904.
In December, 1904. Mr. Hamlin went
to Washington to superintend the or-
ganizetion of the ¥. M. C. A., which
has sine grown into a Qourishing as-
sociation. with a new $10,000 building.
After fourteen months’ work in Wash-
ington Mr. Hamlin was called to his
present position as secretary of the
Carlton avenue branch, ¥.M.C. A.. of
which he took charge In February,
1906. fle Is well qualified for his
work. fond of athletics, music, bowl-
ing and other attractive features of
the phrsicnl side of the Y. MC. A.
work
MRS. HANDY MAKES DENIAL
eee Trying to Absorb Southern Foreign
| Missionary Society.
Mrs. James A. Handy of Baltimore,
president of the Parent Women’s Mite
Missionary Society of the African
‘Methodist Episcopal Church, most em-
phatically denies the story published
in an Atlanta (Ga.) daily that her so-
clety was planning to absorb the Wom-
en's Home and Foreign society of the
denomination. which operates exclu-
sively im the south. The latter society
recently ended its quadrennial session
at St. John’s church, Birmingham, Ala.
| “I hardly know,” says Mrs. Handy
[in anifntersiew, April 20, “how such
a story could get afloat unless it was
‘circulated by some minister who Is
trying to advance his own fortunes by
ens elected to the next general con-
ference. Mrs, Laura L. Turner of At-
lanta. president of the Women's Home
and Foreign Missionary society, and I
have just exchanged fraternal greet-
ings, in which she invited me to at-
tend the session held in Birmingham.
The feebleness of Bishop Handy pre
vented my going. however.
“Out society pays $2,000 a year for
the carrying on of the work; for the
werk of the denomination In West Af-
rica, $800; South Africa, $160. This
represents about 40 per cent of our to-
tal collections. The remainder is used
to assist poor ministers in this country.
We send Rev. W. W. Beckett. secre-
tary of missions. a voucher for all the
money paid out by us.
“Our society was organized thirty-
five years ago. when Rev. Charles H.
Morsell of Bowie, Md., was sent to
Haiti to build a church. The other
branch was organized twelve years
ago. Half of the money it raises is
sent to Rev, W. W. Beckett for the
foreizn work. We. on our side, would
welcome a plan for the unification of
cour forees."”

at Tuskegee Institute
Booker T. Washington
Principal Tuskegee Institute
Tuskegee, Alabama
‘The enrollment at Tuskegee Insti-
tute for the school year just closed
was 1,702. Of this number 1,114 were
young men, 221 of whom took agri-
culture as a trade.
The advantages offered by the Agri-
cultural Department of Tuskegee In-
stitute are exceptional. The teaching
is excellent, the latest improved im-
plements are used and the very best
breeds of live stock are maintained.
The following industries are of.
fered: Farming, truck gardening,
fruit growing, care and management
of mules and horses, dairy husban-
ary, dairying, poultry raising, swine
raising, beef production and slaugh-
tering, canning and veterinary sci
ence,
It is impossible for the institution
to supply the demand for persons
trained in agriculture, Applications
come for persons to teach agriculture
in various schools, while others are
wanted to manage dairies, to oversee
the work of a large plantation, to
operate a truck farm. Good salaries
are offered.
The school farm consists of 2,400
acres; 1,000 acres of this land are un-
der cultivation. In the farming divi-
sion it is the plan to raise all food-
stuffs as nearly as possible for the
1,200 head of live stock owned by the
school. The young men in this divi-

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PICNIC,
SEPTEMBER 4TH.
The big picnic that was to have
been last Monday evening at Bloom-
field park under the auspices of the
Rocky Mountain Athletic club, was
postponed until Labor day on account
of the heavy rain July 3rd. So every-
body will keep off the date of Sept.
4th, Labor day, for the big R. M. A.

IN NEED OF NEGRO LIGHT-
WEIGHTS.
Since the days of old Joe Gans and
several other negro lightweight fight-
ers, it seems that there are very few
to aspire or even come near being a
negro lightweight champion. But at
the same time Gans was champion,
there were all kinds of clever colored
lightweights. Such men as Mississ-
ippi, Hack Bones and Jack Black-
burn, who should have made the top
had it not been for Gans, but they are
all back numbers now. What is much
wanted now at present is more negro
lightweights. Among the heavies
there are plenty, Jack Johnson, Joe
Jennette, Sam McVey, Sam Langford
and others, who can take care of all
the boys above 158 pounds. So a col-
ored lightweight at this time could
make barrels of chingle.
HARRY CRATON COMING.
the worlds unknown hoop roller
and company, Harry Craton and his
wife, a former Denver girl, Mrs. Ethel
Clark Craton, will appear at the Pan-
tages theater of this city in the near
future. Their act is said to be far
better than when they appeared here
the last time, some four or five years
ago.
ELKINS AND HICKMAN AT THE
TUILERIES.
The team of George Hlkins and
Mrs. Hickman, formerly Miss McDan-
fels, are certainly holding the boards
out at Tuileries park, Denver. Their
act consists of clever song and dance
work and their costumes are up to
the minute. They will close next
week to play the Pantages for ten
weeks.

hardest man alive. That man was
Jeftries, which you all know, and
iwth Jack never had a possible show.
It was a great event, that I'll admit,
But Jeff wasn’t there with that col-
ored gent.
Why, he fought like a kid that could-
n't hit,
And Jack whipped him with much
content.
But I know, the same as Wm. Gaul,
‘That Jack would win without a fall.
He weat his man and beat him much,
And now Jeff is afraid of a baby's
touch.
But now Jeff is all in, out and down,
While Jack, the champion, wears a
crown,
And Jack can never be put on the
ground
When there are so many bum white
hopes around.

Institute, W. Va.—The school year of
1910-11 at the West Virginia Colored
institute, in this town, which closed
recently with brilllant and inspiring
commencement exercises, was the
mos: successful since it started in
18¢2 with twelve students and two
teachers. It bas bad a steady growth.
‘The uumber of students enrolled this
year was 265. Its staff of employees
numbers twenty-five. Its teachers are
graduates of some of the best schools
im the United States.
Tliey are from Hompton institute.
Tuskegee institute, Knoxville college,
Talledega college. New England Con-
servatory of Music, Ohio’ State uni-
versity. Oberlin college, Columbia unt-
versity, Chicago university, Virginia

The school owns seventy-seven acres

are no saloons or other places of evi!

‘The sermon to the graduating clas:
‘this year was delivered by the Rev. Dr.
A, Clayton Powell. the able and suc
cessful pastor of the Abyssinian Bap-
tist church in New York. Unusual in-
terest was taken in the speaker and
his logical discourse from the fact that
he was reared In Kanawha county, in
which the school is located. Dr. Pow-
ell’s subject. was, “Despise Not the
Day of Small Things.” Graduation
orations, besides the salutatory, by
Jessie Fields, and the valedictory by
Roscoe Clarkson, were delivered by
Quiliian Jones. Harry Davis, Alonzo
Ellis, Boyer Lee and Linda Scott. The
address to the class was made by Pro-
fessor J. Frank Marsh, assistant super-
intendent of free schools.
‘The graduating class numbered fifty
members from eight states of the
Union and southeast Africa—twenty-
two normal, twenty-five academic and
three commercial. When the African
student, Robert Sisusa. received his
diploma from the hands of Professor
Marsh, there was great applause. Mr.
Sisusa has been in this country six
years, the last two of which were
spent at the West Virginia Colored
institute. He will study medicine and
then return to his native land.
President Byrd Prillerman is doing
a splendid work as head of the insti-
tute. He Is fully capable and has the
highest respect of both state officials
and the citizens of the community in
which the school is located. The above
statement {s verified in the growing
efficiency of the school as seen by the
number of applications constantly re-
ceived from the outside for teachers
and trained workers.
Applications for enrollment for the
next schoo! year are already coming in
and the prospects are that the school
is likely to be overcrowded another
year. It is not. however, the policy of
President Prillerman to build a large
school at Institute, Bur it is bis am
bition to bnild the best colored school
in the United Suites. To this end his
special effort is fundamentally to the
evelopment of character and effi
rleney in scholarship and trades. One
half of the time is devoted to literary
studies and the other half to trades
Thix makes the student not only pro- |
ficient as a scholar, but also a good |
artisan. The school was established |
by an act of-the West Virginia legisla- |
fure approved in March, 1891.
