Visits Thomas Jefferson — Dinner Party at Mr. Jefferson's of Which He was a Guest—Interesting Conversation. After I had completed my settlement with the executor of Mr. Melbourne I made preparations for a northern tour and in July, 1815, I commenced my journey. I had heard Mr. Jefferson so much talked of, had read so much about him in the newspapers and so much of his own writings, of which I was a great admirer, that my curiosity was intense to see and converse with that great man. At my request Mr. Pendleton, a member of the North Carolina bar, gave me a letter of introduction to him which was the only letter I took with me. Mr. Pendleton, according to my express desire in his communication to Mr. Jefferson, stated briefly my history, or so much of it as was necessary to appraise him that I was born a slave and was partially of African I traveled by stage-coach on the old route to Norfolk in Virginia. In this city I saw Mr. St. John; he had become corpulent, and was almost incapable of locomotion, stupid and brutally senseless. He was a loathsome monument of intemperance and a lamentable specimen of those wretched creatures who ought to serve as beacons to warn young men against indulgence in idleness, intemperance and vice. St. John, I understood, was supported by a small allowance paid to him quarterly by a brother of his father. He was sunk so low as to ask me to lend him 25 cents. I gave hi ma dollar. Note.—St. Jonn married the only daughter of Mrs. Melbourne (white). It was not a happy marriage for St. John proved to be a drunkard, a gambler and a fortune hunter. When Mrs. Melbourne died, Maria, who became the wife of Julius Melbourne, fell into the hands of St. John, who because of her beauty, looked upon her with lustful eyes. He refused to respect Mrs. Melbourne's dying wish that she be set at liberty. Only a day or two before her death she had spoken to her lawyer about giving Maria the companion and friend of her daughter, her freedom. Julius married her in spite of the fact that she was still a slave and in spite of St. John. The miserable creature who had begged him for the loan of 25 cents and to whom he gave a dollar.—J. E. B. From Norfolk I went to Monticello and on my arrival there was much gratified to learn that Mr. Jefferson was at home. I was conducted to his study, or reading room, where I found him sitting at a table covered with books and papers. He rose when I entered and received me with great politeness and apparent cordiality. I instantly found myself at perfect ease in his presence. Thought he was not and, I presume, never had been, a handsome man, there was such strong evidence of high intellectual power in his high fore-head and in the form of his face and head that I could not fall of admiring him. A philosophical calmness and glow of benevolence were so visibly expressed in his countenance, and so distinctly marked every feature of his face, that while he was reading Mr. Pendleton's letter and before he had uttered a word, I was charmed with him and loved him as an old and familiar friend. I suppose that part of Mr. Pendleton's letter which stated that I was born a slave and was of African descent excited his curiosity, for he immediately commenced a conversation evidently with a view to ascertain the strength of my mind and to what degree it had been cultivated. He enquired of me whether I had seen the building there lately credited for the University of Virginia and said he intended it should be free for the instruction of all sects and colors. He expressed his deep anxiety for the improvement of the minds and the elevation of the character of, as he was pleased to call them, "Our colored brethren." He then spoke of the state of English and The people of Denver extend to the National Negro Educational Congress a most cordial welcome. Our homes as well as our hopes are theirs. In this great meeting, may there be that communion of souls as well as exchange of thought which will give impetus to the progress of the race.

Society—(a) As It Is; (b) As American literature and of some of the most eminent authors, whose books generally constitute the private libraries of gentlemen in England and the United States; pausing at such points as were calculated to call out a reply from me—no doubt for the purpose of ascertaining what I had read and what reflections I had made. I recollect of expressing in the course of our conversation a very high opinion of Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws and of Hume as an historian. He said he thought "Montesquieu's was too partial to the British constitution, it was his beau ideal gave perfect government in which," said he "It is well known I differ widely from him. Montesquieu, however," he said, "ought to be excused for the British constitution, if that may be called a constitution which is unwritten and which concedes unrestricted and our impotent power to the executive and legislative departments, when combined, was unquestionably the freest and best in the world when Montesquieu wrot. There is less excuse for the eulogy pronounced by my old friend, Mr. John Adams, on the British constitution, in his defense of the American government, because Mr. Adam wrote after the elaborate discussions respecting human rights and the principles of government, which occurred during the American revolution. Mr. Hume said Mr. Jefferson was—(To be continued.) DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12. 1911 On page 3 of this paper will be found a list of merchants whose services are yours to command.

Those who will look after that left yesterday morning and were J. H. Kigh, Dr. Harper, Mesdames Alice Webb, Lizzie Froman and J. R. Contee. Dr. A. A. Cosey of Mound Bayou, miss, is here attending the Negro National Educational Congress. Mound PETER H. Bayou is the Mississippi Negro town, and Dr. Cosey is the special representative from that place. He is a man of standing and means. Delegates to the Educational Congress are pouring in as we go to press. A Virginia delegation has been the last to arrive. Dr. Cosey, the special representative from Mound Bayou, Miss, has come. Wm. McDonald is here. Mr. McDonald besides the reputation he has as the most efficient grand secretary of the 6,000 Masons of Texas, and as a business man whose income is large, and whose interests are many, is the famous McDonald whose political activity has turned the tide hither and thither in Texas for many years. He is whose activity has so far frustrated the activity of the "Lily white" Republicans of that state, that the vote of the Republican party in that state which in the old days used to be nearly 200,000, is far below 50,000 now. Among the visitors who will arrive from Kansas City this week are Drs. Snannon and Tompkins. The former use dto live here and visit with Mr. and Mrs. Dishman. A WESTERN POETESS The muse sits sweetly beside Miss Geraidine Marshbanks and sings in her ear and she tells what she hears in language that makes her "Rainbows of the Western Slope" well worth reading. It is a book well gotten up and neatly printed. Miss Marshbanks is canvassing Denver selling the book now and those who meet her can hear her with profit. I. H. Harper has bought at 2870 Acoma street. He sold his home at Berkley. Mrs. J. W. Coleman of Dallas, Tex., arrives in the city today to be the guest of Mrs. Clinkscale. The Iadies' Usher Club made a hit Tuesday night with their presentation of the "Follies of 1910." They played to a crowded house. Persons who saw the original show, say it had nothing on this one. Bert Williams will have to hump himself to keep ahead of the rival comedians furnished by the ladies. Every feature of the show was an audience pleaser, and the individual merit was much higher than the usual productions of home talent. The Lady Ushers have made the men jealous and they are considering putting on a play to be called "Mr. Hamlet of Arapahoe Street," a Shakepeerean production with a cast of all-stars. Ernest Howard is arranging his shop at 1023 Twenty-first street so that he can engage in the coal business. His stand is a handy one and he means to make a specialty of quick deliveries.

THE LINCOLN-DOUGLASS ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETS. Following the annual meeting of the Association of the Board of Directors of the National Lincoln-Douglass Sanitorium and Hospital Association, the Board of Directors met to outline the year's work. The outlook is encouraging; the financial agent, Mrs. Ensley, reported $8.00 collected since the annual meeting, some of it manual membership dues and a part from donations. Among the individual contributors are Mr. Wm. Sprague, $2.00, and last week Madame Perkins made a cash contribution of $10.00. Besides these cash donations the following persons subscribed to the institution: Dr. E. L. Faultkner, $5.00; Dr. J. A. Harper, $2.50; Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, $5.00; Dr. S. A. Huff, $5.00; Rev. Jno. E. Ford, $50.00; total, $67.50. There will appear, soon, other subscribers who have not yet had an opportunity to put down their names. The spirit of co-operation in this movement, now that we have a most excellent location and buildf, is encouraging to the officers. The Board of Directors are planning to bring out some very important advertising matter that will interest you and will give your friends in the East and will make a good opinion of Colorado and the West when you mail them one. The active staff and consulting specialists will soon be completed and announced. You are invited to visit the sanitarium and hospital and you will be shown about the building with pleasure by the amiable head nurse, Mrs. Clara Osada. The building is reached by going four blocks west from the end of Larimer street car line (on West Colfax). The building is now marked "The Mountview Hospital" but soon will appear in the association's name. See Mrs. E. P.

With Welcome Addresses by Governor Tener, Mayor McGee and Other Notables the Opening Session of the Great Baptist Convention Will Be an Auspicious Occasion. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Pittsburg.-The local committee having charge of arrangements for the entertainment of the national Baptist convention, which convenes in this city on Wednesday, Sept. 13, is right up to the minute with its work. Chairman T. H. C. Messer and Secretary Patterson with Dr. J. H. Dwelle and other members give the following forecast of the program for the opening session which will be largely devoted to addresses of welcome: Governor John K. Tener will make the address in behalf of the state, Mayor William McGee for the city, Rev. R. French Hurley, D. D., in behalf of sister denominations, Rev. W. W. Brown in behalf of the Baptists of the city, Attorney R. L. Vann for the young Baptists of Pittsburg and vicinity, Rev. J. H. Holder will speak for the ministers' conference, and Rev. E. W. Johnson, president of the state Baptist convention, will welcome the national body in behalf of that organization. The auditorium where the men's convention will be held will seat 3,000 comfortably. The women's auditorium has a capacity of 2,000. A special souvenir magazine is in process of publication which will contain pictures and short sketches of the lives of Baptist pioneers and pastors of Pittsburg and vicinity. A special chorus of 1,000 voices is being trained to render a musical concert on the night preceding the opening of the convention, Sept. 12. The national chorist of the M. B. C. will arrive ten days in advance of the other delegates to put the finishing touches on this great chorus. President Morris' Admirable Record. The election of Dr. E. C. Morris is sure. His wise leadership, worldwide influence and long experience make this doubly sure. The greatest denominational publishing house in the world has grown up under his wise leadership—the National Baptist Publishing house in Nashville, Tenn., R. H. Boyd, D. D., manager, where seven-eighths of all the Sunday school literature used among Negro Baptists is published. This alone is a remarkable performance of real work. Dr. J. W. Webb, who deserves special mention, is one of the oldest Negro Baptist pastors in the state and the oldest in western Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Wayland seminary and has been successful in building up one of the most influential churches in Pittsburg. He will be elected vice president from the state of Pennsylvania. Rev. T. H. C. Messer, D. D., has been a member of the national Baptist convention from its beginning and has been no unimportant factor in its wonderful development. To him by right of long service belonged the honor of chairman of the local committee, and his work thus far has sustained the wisdom of the choice. The women's department of the convention is being well attended to by Mrs. Fanny Morton, Mrs. T. H. C. Messer and the local presidents of missionary circles, who are making arrangements for the entertainment of their Baptist sisters. Miss N. H. Burroughs has already twice visited the city and dropped words of information from her wonderful experiences, which have proved helpful to the women locally and which they have not been slow to accept. Generous Aid For Children's Benefit. Through the generosity of the Church Federation of Laymen and the Parks and Playground association in New York the committee having charge of arrangements for fresh air homes for colored children has been able to accommodate a larger number this year than ever before. The camp is located on a farm at Manorville, N. Y. The committee hopes to give a large number of children at least two weeks at the camp this year. They go in parties of twenty-five to forty at a time. Optimistic View Concerning Africa. Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, Africa's grand old man, who is now an associate editor of the African World, published in Liverpool, in a recent letter to a friend in America, says: "Africa is all right. The social and economic conditions as they now exist will have to be imitated by Europe if the masses are to have rest from perplexing days and sleepless nights." The Little Rock (Ark.) Daily Review. The National Negro Press association takes off its hat with a courteous bow of exuberation to E. M. Woods, editor of the Little Rock Review. Mr. Woods has decided to issue the Review daily during the sessions of the business league in Little Rock, Aug. 16 to 28. inclusive. Success of Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis' Trip to Bermuda. MAKES LASTING IMPRESSION Vivid Story of the Career and Effective Work of the Foremost Exponent of Legitimate Drama Among Afro-Americans — Noted Reader Back Home — Plans International Tour. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington.-Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, regarded by competent critics as the foremost exponent of the legitimate drama, as far as the Negro race is concerned, recently returned from a tour of Bermuda, where she achieved an artistic and social triumph, under the direction of Miss Alberta L. Burgess of Kent Lodge, St. George's, who is a young woman of rare musical talent and executive ability. While in Bermuda Miss Davis appeared in all of the principal cities and towns and at every point was received with marked cordiality. Delightful receptions were tendered her by the people throughout her itinerary, and beautiful and valuable presents were literally showered upon her. Queenly in bearing, broad in her conception of the possibilities of the dramatic art, possessing a resonant voice and an engaging personality, Miss Davis easily made an impression that will not soon be forgotten. The repertoire used covered a wide range of dramatic literature, running the gamut from Shakespeare's "Lady Macbeth" and the trial scene from "The Merchant of Venice," Partenia in "Ingomar," Zingarella, the gypsy queen, and the typical "folk lore" of Paul Laurence Dunbar's selections, which attracted special attention. While abroad Miss Davis staged "East Lynne," appearing in the dual role of Lady Isabel and Mme. Vine, supported by local talent. Arrangements were made for the early production of W. Edgar Easton's "Dessalines," repeating her successes as Clarisse, in which part she displays her rich attainments as an emotional actress. Her wonderful versatility is A MISS HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS. evidenced by her lifelike impersonation of characters, male and female. As Dominique Dessalines and Prince Elon in "The Jewish Ruler" she has appeared to excellent advantage, a rather difficult undertaking for a woman. Miss Davis has a history full of striking incidents. She is a native of Baltimore, but has made her home for the most part in Washington. She was the first colored clerk to be employed in the office of the recorder of deeds. She evinced at an early age an aptitude for a stage career and was trained under Miss Marguerite E. Saxton. She made her debut auspiciously in Washington in 1883, being introduced to an immense audience by the Hon. Frederick Douglass. Success has crowned her efforts to develop in the race a taste for the standard creations of the dramatic art. Miss Davis has perhaps done more than any other woman of color to exemplify the capacity of the Negro for the higher realm of the drama. She has been one of the few to remain loyal to the loftier ideals of her profession, and the advanced position occupied by the race in the dramatic world today is due in no small measure to the effective pioneer work of this energetic pathfinder. Miss Davis has published an attractive "Book of Recitations," which presents a varied array of standard selections for the stage, the schoolroom and the home. Her plans for the future include a brief series of engagements in America, a return to Bermuda and a visit to the West Indies, a tour of Europe. Egypt. Liberia, the Gold Const of Africa and Cape Town. Generous Sum For Palmer Institute, G. Cleveland Buchanan, who is spending the summer in New York in the interest of the Palmer Memorial institute at Sedalia, N. O., of which he is the financial agent and agricul- tural director, is meeting with gratify success. Through the influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington an in- fluential and wealthy friend of the school recently contributed through Mr. Buchanan $1,000 for the work of Palmer institute. THE STATESMAN—2 READY FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE Little Rock Meeting Will Be Largest In Organization's History. The local business league in Little Rock, Ark., has completed arrangements for handling the large delegations which will be in attendance at the twelfth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, which will convene in that city on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Reports from many sections of the country indicate that the session will be the most largely attended in the history of the organization. President Booker T. Washington, Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott and General Transportation Agent Cyrus Field Adams are putting the finishing touches on their end of the arrangements so that the whole machinery is in fine condition to start off the moment Dr. Washington, or whomsoever he may designate, calls the great assemblage to order. The local state leagues have been unusually active during the year and the results of their efforts will be awaited with keen interest as they answer to their names by states. The program will also show many new features and varieties of endeavor along commercial lines. Mystic Shriners Plan Big Parade.

National Organization to Hear Noted Speakers at Annual Meeting. Pittsburg, Pa.—The national Baptist convention, which includes in its terri- tory outside of the United States Af- rica, the important isles of the sea and South America and which supports ‘one missionary in Russia, will bold its next annual meeting in this city for one week, beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The Rev. J. H. Dwelle, pas- tor of the New Hope Baptist church in Braddock and also secretary of the Pennsylvania Baptist state convention. 1s co-operating heartily with the local committee, of which the Rev. T. H. Messer, D. D.. is chairman, in putting the finishing touches on every detail of the arrangements for the successful working of the convention. The committee has secured Luna park, corner of Craig and Center streets, for the convention. This in- sures ample room for the large delega- tions of between 8,000 and 10,000 per- sons who will be in attendance as such, besides the thousands of visitors from all parts of the country and many from abroad who are expected to be Present. President B. C. Morris is very much pleased at the acceptance of President William H. Taft to speak on Wednes- day, Sept. 13, and Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington, who will speak on Friday. the 15th. Rev. Dr. C. D. Patterson, secre- tary of the committee, urges all per- sons who desire accommodations se- cured in advance to address either himself at 409 West Jefferson street. N.S, Pittsburg. or Rev. Dr. T. H. C. Messer, 5109 Broad street, at their earliest convenience. Mrs. Fanny Mor- ton has charge of arrangements for ladies. Requests for accommodations should be sent to her at 248 Lombard akeeaah IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. True Reformers Look Forward With Interest to Next Annual Meeting. Members of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers the country over are manifesting great in- terest in the forthcoming thirty-first annual session of the organization which convenes in Richmond, Va. Tuesday morning, Sept. 12. Those who are financial and who bave stood loyally by the order through all of its difficulties and varying changes will no doubt have something to say about its future management. Much credit is due to the present officers for the able manner in which they have kept the organization in- tact since the failure of the savings banks which also involved the entire organization. The manhood and courage which they have exhibited have called forth tany expressions of commendation from the public as well as through the columns of the press. No concern founded and operated by and solely for the race has filled such a large place in the estimation of the white people of this country as the Grand Fountain has done for over a quarter of a century. With its pres- ent difficulties adjusted and the cut- ting loose from former obligations of a financial nature and a clean bill of Inding given it, the principles in its Present management should place the order upon a new foundation. | Extent of Colored Soldiers’ Record. | The war record of the colored sol | @ier extends from Bunker Hill to Cu- ba and up to the ramparts to the top of San Juan bill.

As we go to press the jury in the Harris case in La Junta wherein the defendant is on trial for murder of two officers who broke their way into his house, is still deliberating. Last night after the case had been placed in their hands and up until midnight the jail was surrounded by a crowd which was unfriendly to Harris, and which made threats against him if he was not found guilty of first degree murder. The refusal of Judge Essex, who presided over the trial, to permit a change of venue has given to Rocky Ford and La Junta people this opportunity to impress the jury while still deliberating, with the feelings which they entertain toward the prisoner, and they will be far above the average if their judgment is not affected by such a demonstration. This case has gotten far beyond the life or the liberty of a single prisoner. Colorado is really on trial. If it will permit trials to be like the old-time sessions of Judge Lynch when those conducting the trial had to do so with the mob's cries in its ears, our civilization will be held in contempt. it is useless for correspondents to the daily press from La Junta to report that no feeling exists against the prisoner which would prevent a fair trial. Should Harris be convicted, we believe it to be the indispensable duty of the defense to seek justice in a higher court. If it has not the means to do so, the Negroes of the state should raise the money. The hospital for the care of consumptive patients has passed the stage where it is only a hope. It now is a realized fact. The need of such a place needs no emphasizing at our hands. Hardly a home but has been importuned at some time to take care of persons afflicted with the white plague. Since for hygienic reasons this is seldom done, a place should be provided. Now that such a place has been found through the enterprise of the doctors and public-spirited helpers, it deserves public support—not mere praise, but hard cash given to a worthy cause. Just as the Jews have attained an enviable reputation for philanthropy by their national sanitarium, so can we. Then, too, the hope is well founded that this beginning can be built upon until Negroes will have a general hospital. It is no secret that we are only tolerated now in Denver hospitals. It is generally known that long since colored physicians have been barred from the operating rooms of all the hospitals, operating being confined to the staff surgeons. Both for the good it will accomplish at once and for the future it will lead to, the new hospital is a most welcome addition to our public endeavor and should be supported. The entertainment given Saturday evening, at Stanley Hall, Estes Park, Colo.. August 5th, proved to be a grand success. Madam Lillian Jones and Miss Eva Carter were the headliners, their singing was pleasing to all. Those taking part were: Mr. John Curtis Harris, Mr. Beasley of Boulder, Howard Hickman, and the bright canine "Bevis." The trio, Thomas, Harris and Bevis, made a big hit and had the house laughing from start to finish. We are confident of having the same success next season. HARRIETT TUBMAN NOT IN DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES New York State Federation of Women's Clubs Makes Investigation. In view of the overdrawn statements concerning the condition of Harriett Tubman, her dire needs, etc., the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, which met recently in Yonkers, N. Y., appointed the president, Mrs. M. S. Talbert of Buffalo, to visit the home at Auburn in which Mrs. Tubman is confined for the purpose of ascertaining her real condition and report the same to the executive committee. Accordingly Mrs. Talbert has made her visit and submitted findings to the committee. At a subsequent meeting held at the residence of Mrs. M. C. Lawton in Brooklyn it was learned that, while Mrs. Tubman is far from absolute want, she is not as comfortable as she might be. To this end the committee is arranging to perfect a plan whereby the closing years of her life may be spent as pleasantly as possible and at the same time with no expense to her. It was the opinion of all present that the services of Harriett Tubman dur- --- --- Office 1026 Nineteenth Street. INTIMIDATING THE JURY.

ONE WORD ENGLISH FOR A WISE MAN Dear Mr. Editor: Permit me to use a portion of your valuable space in offering a word to your readers on behalf of the Educational Congress which convenes here this month. Says the Poet Milton:—"Not to know at large of things remote from use obscure and subtle, but to know that which before us lies in daily life, is the prime Wisdom." Did you stop to think of what will result from the Educational Congress to be held here in August? If you are following the present events of the world you must conclude that at the Congress of the Races in London, beginning July 26, there will be clearly demonstrated that there are no organic differences among men as there are among the lower animals, that the different races of men are only varieties of a single stock, differing from one another in color, features, habits and in character, but in their organic structure and in the union of physical and moral elements of life they are essentially one. This proof being given by the great exhibition of talent and representatives of every nation, race class, creed and color. It therefore devolves upon us to rise to the present occasion and with the union of hand and heart to cater to the success of the convention; unflinchingly and unhesitatingly, irrespective of the peculiar formalities that seem to guide us in our daily life. The cause in good and worthy of the citizens of Denver. That which actuated the promoters to secure this congress for our city must have originated in otherwise than sinister motives and reasons, so that there is really no necessity for withholding any help, (the smallest) that will contribute to the success of this venture. That it will have the support of the best people in our community is already in evidence, as expressions of good will and subscriptions toward entertaining the visitors are coming in, and we feel assured that this event will mark an epoch in the city and county of Denver, yea, in the state of Colorado, that will redound to posterity. "Let all the good thou almost at, be they country's, the God's and truth's." THIRTY YEARS TOGETHER. Thirty years of association—think or it. How the merit of a good thing stands out in that time—or the worthlessness of a bad one. So there's no guesswork in this evidence of Thos. Arliss, Concord, Mich., who writes: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for 30 years, and it is the best cough and cold cure I ever used." Once it finds entrance in a home you can't pry it out.

There will be a the Life Line Club ing. Aug. 17 at the The congregation of Zion is very fortunate in the fact that two of the leading ministers of the country have been secured to speak at the church next Sunday. At the morning service Rev. Dr. E. J. Fisher of the great Olivet Baptist church, Chicago, will deliver the morning sermon. Dr. Fisher is one of the really great preachers of our denomination, and is one of the leaders of the National Baptist Convention. At the evening service we will have an opportunity to hear the Rev. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson of Kansas City. Dr. Wilson is also famous throughout the country as one of the greatest pulpit orators among us. Both these gentlemen are in attendance at the Educational Congress, and their service with us on Sunday will be a great delight and benefit to the entire congregation. Our full choir will be present and a program of special interest will be tendered. In the morning solos will be sung by Miss Eva Carter and Deacon J. W. Russell while Miss Carter and Mrs. Lillian Jones will sing "The Gates of Gold," and Mrs. Lillie Pinn will render a solo at the evening service. Our plans for the rally, on the second Sunday in September, are now fully matured and the clubs are at work to roll up the largest total ever known in the history of the church. Everybody is using Zion postcards, everybody will be tagged with a Zion button, while a large handsomely framed picture of our new home will be presented to the captain of the winning club. Both our picnic and carnival proved to be great successes financially as well as socially. This is the beginning of the work which is to make the coming rally a record breaker. Our young people who were in charge of these entertainments worked with a zeal that is contageous and are to be commended. The first of a series of lawn socfals, preparatory to the coming rally, was given last Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Waller. It was a most delightful affair and a pleasant evening was enjoyed. Dr. Ford left Tuesday for Navajo Cottage accompanied by Rev. Ford, Mrs. Libbie Clifton and Mrs. Helen Carter. Ho!

A representative of the state land board and of the immigration board will accompany the excursion and will furnish all information desired to those who wish to purchase state land.

FOR KIDNEY, LIVER AND STOMACH TROUBLE it is the best medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter. ALLEN AND MORTON. Arthur Allen and Leroy Morton, late stars of the Kongo King Co. for the past three years, have closed with the show and are now in vaudeville, with a singing and dancing act that is said to be very classy. They are on the Pantages circuit. SYLVESTER BUSSELL. There has been a large number of requests for Mr. Sylvester Russel to appear at the New Grand Theater, Chicago. It is understood that Mr. Russell and the manager, Duke Brenen, have had a talk concerning the matter and Brenen is to see him again as Mr. Russell is not only the most famous male classical singer of the Negro race, but highest salaried next to Harry Burleigh. FUTURE OF THE PEKIN THEATER CHICAGO Since the death of the late Robt. in the city of Chicago, the doors have F. Motts, owner of the Pekin theater been closed. At the present writing there are so many conflicting rumors at large, there is a hint about mortgages and legal entanglements, possibly more or less without foundation. It is also rumored that relatives of Mr. Motts, especially a woman, have much to say as to the welfare of the theater and the most delicate portion of the subject is that if Mr. Motts's estate is to be controlled by a woman, there is no remedy except the word failure, unless the property could be leased or the business management so contracted as to be entirely out of the hands of female jurisdiction. It is the future of the first colored theater of America historically that is to be determined upon and the race loyalty to which so many colored people speak so highly of by theory rather than by practice. And this of itself will be a most difficult problem to solve if the theater ever opens again. What the theater needs most is a man that knows the act of managing a theater of that kind, and good Negro managers are few and far apart. But I am sure that were such men as Jessie A. Shipp, Salem Tutt Whitney, or William McCabe of McCabe's Troubadours, at the head of the house that it could open the doors and run forever with nothing but success. Mrs. Thompkins of Mexico City, Mex., is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Carter, 2148 Curtis street. Mrs. Thompkins is one of the social leaders of Mexico, visiting Denver for a month. ORA DUNLAY JOINS COMPANY. Miss Ora Dunlap, the beautiful song bird of much note, is one of the principals in Aida Overton Walkin's new act which embraces Mrs. Walker and taat clever comedian Boby Kemp and eight clever dancing girls. If the act makes good in New York it will be booked for a long season on big time. WASHINGTON, D. C. AND ITS THEATERS Washington is fast becoming a great show town for the Negro. In fact, it is rivalling New York and Chicago. There are already seven first-class colored theaters, and another one going up. The houses are constantly in operation, and the top liners of the business are being produced and good salaries being paid—prosperity. SAM LUCAS IN WASHINGTON. Old Sam Lucas, the dean of the Negro stage, is playing in vaudeville and is going big with a neat little monologue and a few catchy songs. Mr. Lucas is known to most every man and woman in the country; he is the first Negro to make it possible for many of the Negro top liners today. Mr. Lucas will retire from the stage at the end of this season having been before the public 30 years and more. He has been a great old war horse at that. TRIBBLE AND DUMOUNT Andrew Tribble and Jeff Dumount are to double up in a vaudeville act for the coming season, with plenty of dope to kill you with. 1909 CHAMPION TENNIC PLAYER. I heard from Robt. Elmore the other day, a former all-around athlete of this city and champion lawn tennis player of 1909. Mr. Elmore also states that he is contemplating a trip abroad this fall as valet for some very prominent cattle men of the West, and says if he does go that he will be in contact with Jack Johnson and will give me all of the real dope concerning Jack.

Since athletics have become such great benefit to the human body and mind, we all are seeking this one great remedy. The R. M. A. club is going to make it possible for all of the members and their sons to get the proper training that is much needed by all. The club will open the doors of the gymnasium about the middle of September and it is hoped that all of the members will take advantage. Prof. Bud Thomas, instructor. THE SKYDOME, MEMPHIS, TENN. In vaudeville and stock the great Sol, buck and wing dancer, Floyd and Floyd and Floyd, Buckner and Buckner, are all holding the crowds with great success. ACCUSED OF STEALING. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me. boldly accuses Bucklen's Arnica Salve of stealing—the sting from burns or scalds—the pain from sores of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles. "It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their terror," he says, "as a healing remedy its equal don't exist." Only 25c at all druggists. BASEBALL. When winter comes then you hear great stories of the national game—baseball—and in summer most every body is either a football player or a crack ice skater. And I find that the athletics in general talk so much of games that are not in season; that they find very little time for the games that are in season. Baseball is a game that interests most everybody, but here in Denver we have as poor baseball games among the Negroes as any place in the country. But we expect to do better next season. THE STATESMAN----8 at the Rocky Mountain Athletic OTTO FLOTO A SNAKE. Probably one of the worst writers in the country—that is sporting writers against the colored athlete—is Mr. Otto Flota, sporting editor of the Denver Post. Floto has always been opposed to the Negro's advancement in the sporting world and will come out and frankly say that he don't think that the Negro has any business being a champion of anything, and every time he can publish a knock, he will be only to willing to do so. Well, we can make it without Mr. Floto, eh The Englishmen are just waking up to the fact that their pride, Bombardier Wells, is no match for the big champion, Jack Johnson. The odds at present are 5 to 1 and some of the dopsters are of the opinion that if the match should go, that Johnson would lay down to Wells for a large amount of money. Well, Jack may have his faults and all of that, but I am of the opinion that Jack has altogether too much principle to stoop so low as to dishonor himself in such a manner. JOLLY JOHN LARKINS & CO. IN ROYAL SAM. Probably one of the best companies on the road for this coming season will be that of Mr. John Larkins, late star comedian to Mme. Black Pattie Company. Larkins has a show, from all reports, that will excel any colored show that has ever been produced in the past two or three years. The company consists of 40 all-stars with Miss Jennie Pearl Larkins, leading lady to her husband, Jolly John Larkins in "Royal Sam." KID BELL AND GANS. Two clever young colored boxers, ONED!! TIL JACK JOHNSON WILL Association Kid Bell and Gans, formerly of this city, but at present fighting in the West, will be in Denver the middle of September. They are coming this way to try and cop some of the easy money that is floating among some of the state's local white boxers. Bell and Gans, both were well liked in Denver and there is no doubt but what they will be well received by friends. When you attend the Pantages theater don't forget to purchase the popularity voting ticket, and don't forget to vote for little Freda Carson, Denver's most versatile child actress and daughter of Prof. Edward Carson. Don't forget that you are cordially invited to be in attendance at the fifteenth anniversary of the Statesman's picnic. Plenty of pleasure and amusement; good music and floor managing.

Colored Race Existed Before Birth of Christ, Says Bishop Eason. Scientific scholars of both sacred and profane history had better put on their research caps and gowns if they expect to be able to confirm or deny the statements of Bishop M. F Eason of the A. M. E. church, who, before sailing for Egypt and Abyssinia recently, said: "When I return I expect to lay before the scientific world some data of the first importance regarding the origin of the colored race, which is the oldest of all races and. I firmly believe, the progenitor of the Greeks. "The colored race was in existence more than 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. The Greek race sprang from this colored race in Africa and lost their dark color through intermarriage in later ages with white races." Timely Advice For Afro-Americans. The Pittsburg Courier very wisely calls the attention of Afro-Americans to the necessity for technical education and points to the Carnegie technical schools of Pittsburg, which afford equal advantages to all alike. Now is the time to register for the fall term. It says, and there should be any number of our boys and girls knocking at the door for admission. This kind of advice has the right ring and ought to be heeded by all who desire to better their condition. Breakfast from 6 a. m. to 9 a. m. Dinner from 5 p. m. to 8 p. m. Luncheon at Noon. MRS.
