The Negroes of Colorado Should Appeal the Harris Case
DISCRIMINATION CRUSHED IN SPOKANE
Twenty-Second Year DISCRIMIN CRUS IN S
SPOKANE CITIZENS RESENT COLOR DISCRIMINATION.
Mayer Hindley Takes Prompt Action.
Ne Color Line, He Says.
Spokane, Wash.—Race discrimination will not be tolerated in Spokane by the city commissioners, and restaurants and saloons where the "Colored Trade Not Sollicited" signs are displayed will be obliged to remove them immediately, according to the determination of Mayor Hindley and Commissioner of Public Safety Z. E. Hayden.
The commissioners have decided to visit all such places in person to quietly inform the proprietors that such signs must be taken down and that so long as they choose to do business in this city they must treat all men as free and equal.
The demand by the colored people that their constitutional rights be respected in this regard was laid before Mayor Hindley by John Adams, a local Afro-American attorney. Lawyer Adams points out that the situation is becoming such that a colored man can scarcely have an order filled in many of the local restaurants, and even the servers of drinks behind local bars often refuse to serve colored patrons. Unionism, according to the attorney, is at the bottom of the move, and he contends that proprietors of such places readily take up the sides of their union waiters and publicly expose cards as indicated. He cited an experience of his own where he entered a restaurant for a lunch and was at first ignored entirely by the waiter. Finally he was informed that the waiter was not allowed to serve him.
He immediately took the case before the mayor and asked that steps be taken to stop the practice. He was assured of the support of the mayor. Speaking of the conditions of affairs. Mayor Hindley said: "We are not going to tolerate any such discrimination. The colored people have their rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of the United States, and no union restaurant or saloon has any legal right to infringe upon them.
"Race trouble must not be allowed to brew in Spokane. Such actions as have come to my notice are the foragers of race war and threaten the whole legal fabric of the city and state. I do not anticipate any trouble, but the men who run public places in this city will not be permitted to practice such discrimination. So long as he behaves as well as any other person the colored man has just as much business in such places as any other citizen."
"The thing is absolutely contrary to the constitution," said Commissioner Hayden, "and that is all the authority we need to make them take down such signs. It is not necessary to have a city ordinance to regulate the matter."

---
to membership in this body of tons
fide Masons, which is divided into a
northern and a southern jurisdiction.
R. H. Hueles of New York is head of the northern jurisdiction, and Joseph L. T. Smith of Baltimore is head of the southern end. Temples are at present in all of the large cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Richmond, Va.; New Orleans, Atlanta, Ga.; Portland, Ore., and Jacksonville, Fla. Eugene Phillips of New York, the present potentate, will very likely be re-elected. J. H. Murphy of Baltimore, the present imperial recorder, has been urged by a number of Scottish Rite Masons to run for imperial potentate, but it is said that he entertains no ambitions in that direction. Jose E. Sherwood of St. Paul, Minn., the present chief rabban, is also mentioned for the office. A. T. Waller of Raitimore, the present imperial treasurer, will probably be re-elected. The session is expected to be largely attended. Among the social events is a parade of the nobles and a big reception at Fitzgerald's auditorium.

OBITUARY
James Harrison Baker, born in Middleton, Ky., Aug. 9, 1871. Moved to Shelbyville, Ind., in 1875. Accepted Christ in Seymore, Ind., n 1891. Came to Trinidad, Colo., Nov. 15, 1901. United with Grace chapel A. M. E. church under the pastorate of G. W. Tolson, Nov. 19, 1901. Was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Mrs. Fannie H. Handy July 5, 1906. He was a licentiate preacher under the rules of the A. M. E. church. Departed this life Saturday morning, Aug. 26, 1911. Age, 40 years, 2 weeks, 3 days. Being one of a family of nine children, he leaves to modrn his demise a wife, one son, Roy E. Handy, two brothers, Benjamin and Edward; two sisters, Amy and Jeanette Booker, and a legion of friends.
Our deceased brother will be greatly missed in the community, as he was a good man, a thorough Christian gentleman, and at all times manifested a keen interest in all the affairs that tended to uplift the community. One of the strongest elements of his character was that of peacemaker, in his church, among individuals and in the community. He was honored for his sterling qualities by all classes, and we feel that in his death the community has lost one of its most ardent leaders and well wishers. Truly, there is a spoke in the wheel missing in the home, in the church and in the community.
Rev. J. P. Watson of Pueblo officiated at the funeral services, Rev. Henry of St. Paul Baptist church, and Rev. J. H. Brown, pastor in charge, all paid loving tribute to the departed one.
"Servant of God, well done.
Rest from thy loved employ:
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Master's joy.
"Servant of Christ, well done.
Praise be thy new employ:
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Savior's joy."
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank the Masons, the church, and the many friends for their kindness during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father, Rev. J. H. Booker, and especially do we thank Simpson's Rest Lodge No. 10 A. F. and A. M., Grace Chapel, A. M. E. church, J. M.

Public Expression of Appreciation For Friendship of Abraham Abraham.
To show their appreciation of the late Abraham Abraham, head of the big dry goods firm of Abraham & Straus in Brooklyn, who employed a large number of colored persons in his establishment, a number of colored citizens recently met at the Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. and passed resolutions deploring his death. Mr. Frank Jackson, who was a confidential employee of Mr. Abraham for twenty-three years, and to whom he left an annuity of $400 for life, gave a vivid description of his experience with the firm during over a score of years. He laid much stress upon the fact that the first three colored men whom the firm employed were of the type that made a favorable impression. The number of Afro-Americans in the employ of the firm at the present time is seventy-five.
Mr. William Russell Johnson, the second colored man to enter the employ of the firm, also made a brief address in which he expressed his gratitude for the opening made for the race with this well known establishment and to the late Mr. Abraham for his generous consideration for the colored employees. Others who spoke were Dr. W. L. Hunter, Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett and Mr. M. P. Saunders.
Mr. John D. Nixon, chairman of the branch, presided, and Mr. Arthur L. Camilher acted as secretary. The committee on resolutions appointed by Chairman Nixon consisted of the following persons—viz. Dr. W. L. Hunter, William Russell Johnson, Frank Gilbert, N. B. Dodson, Dr. W. W. Beckett, Dr. William M. Moss, M. P. Saunders, R. I. Jackson, A. L. Comither and J. D. Nixon.

TRAGEDY ENACTED TUESDAY
Differences Arise from Family Affairs---Statement of Mrs. Edwards
REV. EDWARDS KILLED BY MANUEL.
Grim tragedy stalked abroad Tuesday night, when Rev. A. E. Edwards, pastor of Central Baptist church of this city, was killed in his home by James Jerrold Manuek. A revolver was used in the killing and repeated shots were fired, all hitting. After the shooting the assailant gave himself up. Various reasons are being assigned for the shooting.
The prominence of the victim and the long residence and wide acquaintance of the assailant make this case one of unusual interest and more than ordinary regret.
The pastorate of Rev. Edwards at Central church has been a little over one year. During that time he has had the support of the membership and has achieved a financial and numerical success that was gratifying to the Central's members and friends.
J. J. Manuel is one of Denver's old citizens. He is well known for the prominent part he has played in politics. He is a speaker of considerable ability and has often been heard on the platform during campaigns. He has been a member of Central for years and been an officer there. At no time has he been characterized by hasty actions and the surprise is general that he is involved in such a tragedy. He is a resident of North Denver, where he owns a home.
A STATEMENT OF CORRECTION FROM THE WIFE OF THE REV. A. E. EDWARDS.
The various papers have quoted me as having forced a confession from my husband and then forced him to go to the home of J. J. Manuel. This statement is false.
On last Tuesday morning my husband came into the room where I was and said he had heard me tell several people I did not intend to return to Denver and asked if I meant it. I told him I did and he asked me the reason. I then told him I could no longer stand his conduct as it was in Denver, but if he would leave Denver and do better I would live with him, but as everything I said to him and him alone he told the parties he had so prejudiced the people against me I could do no good and I could make no defense without exposing him, and couldn't afford to do that and stay with him. He said he knew he had done wrong and that his greatest accusation was my poor health, as he believed worry had done this, and from that morning in Denver or elsewhere he never intended to give me any more trouble. He then said he knew Mrs. Manuel had treated me wrong, but he felt that he was the cause, for while he had not told her I knew of the matter, he had told her I did not like her about him. He then said, "If you will go with me out there I will make a clean breast of it and the affair shall stop." I told him I did not care to go, as Mrs. Manuel was a peculiar and disagreeable woman. I did not think she was home the first of the week, and besides, as I wanted to finish up at the Moler college this week, I did not have the time to spare. He asked me if he found she was at home, would I go after school hours, and I congrented. He called at the Moler college for me and told me he had gone to the home of Mrs. Manuel's mother and she said she was not sure what days Mrs. Manuel was out and likely he would find

her at home. I have never been to the Manuel home on Decatur street, and as we went across the commons, I sald, "I ought not to have come out here with you alone, or at least without telling someone where I was going, for you might kill me."
When we reached the Manuel home no one was there. After waiting some time Mr. Manuel came and asked us to remain until his wife came. Someone called Mr. Manuel out to see about a chicken and I told Mr. Edwards we must go, as I would not talk over the matter before him. He said all right and left. We saw Mrs. Manuel over at Forty-fourth avenue and Decatur street, and when Mr. Edwards spoke of the matter to her, she said, "So you have told your wife this mess, then come and tell Mr. Manuel." I said, "He didn't have to tell me, for I saw for myself." I think Mrs. Manuel thought Mr. Edwards would deny the matter when he got to Mr. Manuel and then I would be alone in the accusation. Mr. Edwards and I both objected to going, but she insisted. Neither of us had any intention of seeing Mr. Manuel when we went to the home the first time.
It is with regret I make this statement, but as I am here defenseless and among strangers and have done no wrong, I will at least give my side of the question to the public.
Central church has risen nobly to the emergency in the death of its pastor. At a meeting of the membership Wednesday night it was decided that the church should bear the expense of the funeral and the shipping of the body back to eKntucky where it will be buried. Its officers have had a large part in the funeral arrangements. After a service in this city the remains will be shipped. The shipment will take place Wednesday.
Mr. Manuel has engaged the services of Lawyer Hilton. His friends are many and they are exerting every effort to set forth his standing with a view to putting him in the most favorable light before the public and the court.

Judge Butler's interpretation of Law.
‘That Judge Butler is living up to the
letter of the law in the Coatesville
(Pa. lynching may be seen from the
wise rulings which he bas made
in the eases of Clyde Woodward and
George Stahl. Judge Butler says in
the case of Woodward that any one
who was In the mob and knew for
what plrpose the mob was gathered is
guilty of murder. In the case of Stahl,
who is sald to be only sixteen years
of age, the court holds that one Is re-
sponsible for his actions if be associ
ates himself with a mob even if he
gives no physical assistance, but mere-
ly sanctions violence.”

ABUSE MAKES NO CONVERTS.
The intemperate and oftimes overdrawn statements of the men who are attempting to create a sentiment among negroes for what they term manhood rights, do their cause a world of harm. Bishop Walters, who is a leader in that movement, is reported to have said at a meeting in Boston this week, that President Taft was weak because he had paid no attention to the prevalence of lynching. The fact that the administration of law rests in the hands of the state rather than the national government, makes it certain that Bishop Walters is either playing petty politics or that his enthusiasm has blinded him to fact. Especially unfortunate is this class of utterance at this time when all parts of the country, even the southern states included, are waking up to the danger of lynch law.
It is characteristic of such men as Walters that they fail to recognize their impotence, but with whips of straw they try to drive the white people of this country into conformity with their ideas. They lack common sense. Much learning has made them mad. By the next generation they will be accounted mountebanks who for sordid advantage sowed strife when peace was the more logical and the easier way.
We fully agree with Bishop Walters in that we should strive for every right with all our might, but we unqualifiedly oppose the methods by which he seeks these rights. A blow for a blow and a curse for a curse might be proper where two contestants are on an equality; but with the white people of this country holding the whip hand, the negro is silly who takes recourse to abuse.
A NEGRO PATENT EXAMINER.
Henry E. Baker of Mississippi is the only representative of the colored race in the examining corps of the United States patent office. Mr. Baker is a second assistant examiner in the division of Principal Examiner Pond, who has the classes of bridges, hoisting, excavating, hydraulic engineering and metallic building structures, which includes, of course, structural iron working and all allied arts. Mr. Baker, in addition to his duties in the patent office, is engaged in the compilation of a work in which he will be absolutely unique. He is the only individual who has a complete list of all the patents issued to negroes, and it is his purpose to embody them into a work of some sort, probably a book, giving a brief history of each inventor, the nature of the invention and the amount of success in the field of invention achieved by members of his race. The compilation of these statistics has necessarily been an arduous one, and has required an exhaustive correspondence with applicants and inventors in all parts of the globe. Naturally, many colored inventors fail to offer any evidence as to the race to which they belong, as that is not a requirement made of an applicant for patent. But through the courtesy of attorneys and the aid of his fellow examiners, Mr. Baker has been able to gather together what he considers is practically a complete catalogue of inventions by colored persons.
Afro-Americans Honored In London.
On the evening of the second day's session of the universal races congress, recently held in London, Mrs. Alma Black, member of the American Peace Arbitration league of New York, entertained a large number of distinguished guests, among whom were Lord and Lady Weardale, William Phillips, secretary to the United States embassy; Admiral Houbridge, Professor Scarborough of Wilberforce university and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Britain. There were over a dozen other colored American present besides Professor Scarborough.
Needs of Virginia Union University. The past school year at Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va., was one of much value to both students and faculty. The high grade of work done in the various departments was one of the gratifying features. The institution needs more room, and to that end the trustees are bending their energies. Many of the graduates and ex-students are also assisting in a financial way in order that ample accommodations may be had for the large number of students already enrolled and for those who are now making application to enter in the fall
At the recent meeting in Pine Bluff, Ark., of the grand lodge, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Grand Chief Mentor C. S. Jordan of Little Rock stated that the number of tabernacles had reached 492. The woman's department is also in excellent condition, as is also the Taborian school.

Conference is Here
Next Wednesday the Colorado Conference of the African M. E. church will convene in this city with Shorter church as its host. Its sessions will be presided over by Bishop H. B Parks. Bishop Parks comes to the city from the West, where he has been holding the Puget Sound, the California and the Arizona conferences, and he has been successful far beyond what is usual. The sessions will be further lifted up by the presence of several of the general officers. Prof. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, is to be here, also Rev. Caldwell, who is head of the Sunday school union, and others are expected. Being the last meeting before the general conference, the attendance will be large.
A number of homes of Denver people are being thrown open to the entertainment of the ministers.
The presence here in Denver of the presiding elder of the district, Rev. J. C. C. Owens and Revs. Ward and Williams, pastors of two or the largest churches of the conference, makes its sessions the more interesting. Rev. Ward has completed his fourth year at Shorter. During his ministry there the church has had remarkable financial and numerical growth. He has been instrumental in getting much new timber into Shorter and has been a financier of unusual success. It is possible for him to pastor the church a fifth year and many of the influential members and church auxiliaries are working to that end.
Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor at Campbell, has completed his third year and it has been characteristic of the others in excellency. He is the man who was brought to Campbell church as an extreme measure to make of it what it could be, and so largely has it grown under his ministry that the charge is the second in the conference easily. The growth of the church has been made largely upon material gathered near it, so that its success has meant much for the moral uplift of the east end of Denver. While Rev. Williams has been such a spiritual success, his work as church financier and his activities for all the people in a public capacity have been even more signal. His return to the church is expected. The work of Presiding Elder Owens is spread over all the district, yet since he makes Denver his home, his many friends here are hoping he will continue to live among them.
SHORTER CHAPEL SUNDAY SERV:
ICES AND NOTES.
Sunday will be the closing day of Shorter's fourth year's work under the pastorate of Rev. A. M. Ward. He will preach his closing sermons, both morning and evening. All services Sunday will begin fifteen minutes earlier. Sunday school will begin at 9:45 a. m., preaching at 10:45 a. m., at which time the pastor will administer the monthly communion. Christian Endeavor at 6:45 p. m. and preaching at 7:45 p. m.
The last quarterly conference for the year will be held on Monday night, at which time all the auxiliaries will make their annual reports. The pastor will also make his report for the year.

Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Jackson, assisted by Miss Charlotte Ensley, once again demonstrated their unsurpassed ability to entertain.
Dania hall was the place and Miss Leota V. Wilson of Kansas City, Kansas., niece of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, the guest of honor.
The hall was superbly decorated with garlands of smilax. Hanging from the ceiling were baskets filled with flowers and trailing vines. Pumpkin blossoms brightened the green, while autumn's reminder, the stately golden glow, bowed a welcome from every nook and corner.
And who was there? I did not know all of the large number of society folk who attended, but I do know that Miss Carrie Joseph, the Grecian goddess, and Denver's undisputed queen of fair malds, was there, dressed in pink silk with embroidered trimmings.
Miss Eva Brown, the charming little school teacher from Washington, D. C., was there and wore a combination of blue and pink silk mull.
Mrs. C. E. Jackson, the hostess, wore an imported black and white batiste, trimmed with embroidered carnations.

Messrs. Lloyd Hall and Walter Marshall entertained Tuesday evening at an informal dancing party at Dania hall, one of the prettiest of the season. The color scheme was nile green and white, the lights being subdued by Japanese lanterns, which added a new tone of beauty to the many handsome gowns worn by equally beautiful and gracious ladies. Music by Webster's orchestra. The guests departed at a late hour, after declaring the "bachelors" ideal hosts, as a most enjoyable time was had by all.
After the dance Mr. Hall entertained a supper party of six at West Bros.' cafe in honor of Miss Newman, after which the guests went for a joy ride. Those present were Misses Newman, Hubbard and Porter, Messrs. Plummer, Marshall and Hall.
Miss Porter wore a gown of white Mexican drawn work, with a dash of red, which was very becoming to her chic style. Miss Hubbard's gown was of Alice blue messaline silk, trimmed with gold filt lace, which was very beautiful and becoming. Miss Newman wore a creation of pale blue chiffon over satin, with bands of iridescent trimmings in pink and gold. The gown was very becoming to Miss Newman's pale loveliness and golden hair.
Miss Newman left Wednesday evening for her home in Grand Junction, after promising her many friends to return for the Xmas holidays.

Dr. Shannon of Kansas City, after a pleasant visit here, returned to Kansas City Monday.
A number of Boulder people joined with their Denver friends in witnessing the marriage Monday evening of Miss Willa May of this city and George Morrison of Boulder.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Real Selling Argument Necessary
In the Construction of Copy.
Br ALBON J. HOUSEY
When the possibilities of consistent advertising dawn upon the mind of the average Afro-American in business we shall see a new era of commercial achievements. In the preparation of these articles the writer has a twofold purpose, the one being to direct the attention of the Afro-American advertiser to the lack of the progressive and modern in the construction of his advertising copy, the other being to educate the readers to the necessity of reading advertisements with the same interest they manifest in the other departments of their papers and demanding that the advertiser fulfill his promises in a fair price, an efficient service and courteous treatment.
The average advertisement of an Afro-American firm found in Afro-American papers is little more than a mere announcement that such and such a firm is in business. There is most always a lack of the real selling arguments we so much like to read, the real coming together, the real "personal touch." It is these points, backed by efficient service, that give the dependable organization.
I hope to see the time when colored firms in each locality will be clamoring for commanding space in their weeklies to tell their story to the public. Then we may be sure that the day of material progress is with us.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Lillian Carter, who resided at 2938 Welton street, was conducted from Scotts last Friday afternoon. Mrs. Carter leaves a devoted husband, a mother and two sisters. She was a member of the Baptist church in Atchison, Kansas, for a number of years.
Dr. R. A. Randolph will deliver the message Sunday morning and the Rev. J. D. Rice will preach in the evening. You are invited to hear these divines.
Scotts and the Presbyterian church united in having their annual outing for the Sunday school at Washington park. The young people had a great time. The tables fairly groomed under the many delicacies of the season. The district superintendent left for Colorado Springs Thursday, where he went to visit the Colorado annual conference which met there this week. He went from there to Pueblo, where he held the quarterly conference for the Rev. H. R. Gipson.
The Rev. W. C. Stephens, A. B. presided over the annual conference held in Colorado Springs during the Freedmen's Ald anniversary. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the peerless orator, delivered the principal address on this occasion. Dr. Mason will preach at the Peoples M. E. church Sunday morning.
The official board voted to begin immediately to shingle the church. The church roofing rally was a great success. The Rev. Ward delivered the rally sermon to a responsive audience, Zion and Shorter were represented by their pastors. We thank these brethren for their presence and help.
The funeral service of the late John Allen Swanger was held from the school house in Fort Logan. A great tribute was paid to the remains of this young man by the people of Fort Logan. A large audience of white and colored gathered to hear the funeral oration by the pastor of Scott. Mrs. Salina Allen, the grandmother, and other relatives wish to thank the many friends who helped them so liberally in putting away their dead. The young man was loved by both races in Fort Logan.
Mrs. Belle Freeman, who has been visiting friends in the city for the last four weeks, left Friday for Manhattan, Kansas, where she will be joined by her husband, who has been in Washington all the summer.

Dear Madam Perkins:—
I want to tell you how very pleased I am with the condition of my hair since your treatment. There is a wonderful change in it already. It is so soft and straight; and it has been since the very first day you treated it. I really cannot tell you how delighted I am with you. I am sorry that I did not know of you long before now. Your treatment has done me more good than anything I have ever used. Wishing you lots of success,

My Dear Madam Perkins:—
Your treatment has done all for me
that you said it would do. When I
paid my first visit to you when in
Philadelphia last January, my hair
was coming out by the combs full.
My scalp was full of dandruff or
scurf, as you explained it to me. Now
my scalp is clean and pliable, and
my hair has grown several inches
longer. It has so changed that I
scarcely recognize it as my own hair.
All of this is owing to having heard
of the wonderful Madam Perkins, and
I pray that God's blessing will ever
rest upon you and the good work
which you execute so justly and conscientiously to all. Kindly find enclosed order for another supply.
Thanking you and hoping you are
well, I am,
Very sincerely,

Dean Madam Horkins:
Dear Madam Perkins:
I really feel it my duty to write
and tell you just what your treatment
has done for my hair. When I started
using your treatment my scalp was
full of dandruff, and my hair was
breaking off very fast. I thought if
I did not get something for my hair
I would soon have no hair. My hair
is now grown four inches in length. I
am very proud to say, I feel as if I
can never praise your treatment
enough for what it has done for me.
After using it for twelve months it
has done all that you claimed it would
do. I recommend it to all my friends
and I recommend Madam Perkins as
a thoroughly reliable woman; and I
am proud to be a member of her
class.
Yours very respectfully,

Dear Madam Perkins:
You will find enclosed $5.00 for which please send me another six months' supply of your scalp treatment. I can safely say that your treatment has stopped my hair from falling out and has done all that it was recommended to do. I shall use it as long as I can.
Yours truly,

Wilmington, Del., Jan. 9th, 1911.
Dear Madam Perkins:
I have been using your scalp treatment for seven months now and I am glad to say that it has grown my hair wonderfully. When I first started to use your treatment I could hardly pinch my hair and the first time I used the treatment my hair was greatly improved. Before hearing of Madam Perkins I used everything to make the hair grow. I think every woman should use your scalp treatment, as it is the best in the world. I am proud of my hair and will recommend Madam Perkins and her wonderful scalp treatment to every woman. I expect to use Madam Perkins' preparation as long as I can buy it

BACKBONE VERSUS WISHBONE
While effort has been made through several channels to raise sufficient money to render possible the appeal of the Harris murder cases, up to this time there still remains a defi-liency. Believing that there are many persons who will be reached by a public entertainment who have given nothing, a committee has decided to give one and have set East Turner hall as the place and September 14 as the date. An effort will be made to interest all citizens in the movement, stress being placed upon the use to which the proceeds are to be put, rather than upon the return which will come to those who attend. The ladies are being importuned to organize and assist in the sale of tickets.
People will do well to bear in mind that in the case of Robert Harris and his father, more than their lives and liberty is at stake, for the prosecution sought to establish and did succeed in getting the judge and jury to agree with them in it, that a man's home was not his castle free from molestation by any one, unless he came armed with a warrant. They further succeeded in stripping Harris of the defense which he should have had, that he was attacked and the shooting came after a scuffle; in other words, he is found guilty of first degree murder, premeditated murder, though no evidence was adduced to show such premeditation. These features of the Harris cases are far reaching in their consequences if allowed to stand. The appeal means more than the satisfaction of a sentiment. Denver people need now to lay down the wishbone and take up their backbone. Let Harris have his appeal. If justice has been served, we should know it from the court of highest authority. If not—and there is every reason to think not—he should not be allowed to suffer injustice merely because he is a Negro.
SPORTS AND THE STAGE BY LEON PRYOR
McNEIL & McNEIL.
The refined and comedy sketch artists are still at the Belmont theatre, Pensacola, Fla., where they are to be for an indefinite time. They are scoring a big hit with their sensational buck and wing dancing.
JOHNSON'S THEATORIUM.
Another new playhouse, owend and operated by colored men, has been opened in Columbia, D. C., with Bert Houze as stage manager and leading comedian. Some of the present acts are being produced, such as James Nelson, high class soloist; George Thomas is doing clever straight work, Leon R. Lang, the famous boy majoran, Miss Viola Wallis, singing soubratte, and many others. The proprietor, Mr Arthur Johnson, is wearing a golten smile each night.
MME. BLACK PATTI.
Probably no colored singer of the present day has sung before as many of the nobility as has Madame Sissettta Jones, aptly styled the Patti of the black race. Under the management of Mr. R. Voclckel, her present manager, in the early nineteen Madame Jones made a tour of continental Europe and in most every country she was commanded to, and did appear before the reigning families, who expressed unqualified pleasure and admiration of the agreeable quality, sweetness an orange of her voices. This season Madame Patti is appearing in the leading theatres of the country in a musical comedy entitled "In the Jungles," supported by a company of clever artists who leave to be desired, and on a whole the Black Patti Co. for this season will be the strongest colored aggregation on the road, taking in Denver on their tour.
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR
FOOTBALL SEASON.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Football! Football! Ha! Ha! Ha! And there you are again, up against the same old story. The young bucks of Denver claim that they are going to play more football this season than ever before in the history of the game. Preparations are already being made and at least there are four organizations on foot, so we shall wait and see the results. The R. M. A. club will also have a strong eleven this year and expect to win everything in sight. Prof. Bud Thomas will be star coach for the Rockies, and it is also rumored that the Y. M. C. Bs are to have a strong team, so we are liable to see some fun.
A NEW COLORED LIGHTWEIGHT.
Kid White, the young Pittsburgh lightweight scraper, was in Indianapolis last week attending the K. P's encampment. Kid White is a slender boy with big broad shoulders, a winning smile and a glad hand shake. He is not a champion, but bars none of the kids, from Ad Wolgast on down, and is willing to meet Mr. Wolgast at any time. Following are a few of the bouts in which he has participated: Draw with Harry Trendell, St. Louis, six rounds; draw with Frank Mandole, Pittsburg, 12 rounds; won with Red Robinson, Pittsburg, six rounds; won with Skipper Manning, Pittsburg, six rounds; draw with Joe Phillips of Providence at Cleveland, ten rounds. The kid has fought numerous other battles and the most of them he won, and is predicted a new champion in the near future.
JOE JEANNETTE GETS DRAW
WITH ELYNN.
Is Joe Jeannette, the clever colored heavyweight boxer, going back? In the last year Joe has showed up bad in several of his bouts and it is only a matter of time before he will be considered a back number. Last Wednesday night in his bout with Porky Flynn he showed the lack of form and was a big disappointment to the large crowd that witnessed the bout.
as every one thought that he should have put Flynn out inside of the limited ten rounds, but instead of Joe coming out the victor of the affair, it is rumored that Flynn had a shade the better of the go, and that Joe was even lucky to get a draw, which will make it hard for him to get matched with Sam Longford.
FUNERAL OF ROBERT COLE.
The funeral of the late Robert Allen Cole took place at his late residence, 102 West 136th street, New York city. Rev.

Mr. Arthur Payne was the special soiist. The honorary pall bearers were Bert A. Williams, Jessie A. Shipp, Lester Walton, Shepard N. Edmonds and a son of Booker T. Washington. Mr. Cole's mother and sisters were prostrated with grief. The floral offerings were enormous. Interment was at Woodlawn cemetery.

And he is certain that he can beat any man in the state at his weight. This will be quite a chance for both of the boys to show their ability, as some of the biggest white sporting men of the West will attend this D. A. C. smoker.

only that, which he can't get. The man who deceives himself is always an easy mark for the ones who don't. While some men are fooling, other men are succeeding. And why? The laugh is always on the fellow who believes in his own excuses. An excuse is a devil of traitor to mankind. In its winsome winning it finds a welcome because it offers consolation in times of trouble and perplexity. It is the easiest way out and such ways all have to be trumped over again. So the easiest way is as a general rule the longest way.

Every year a large number of poor sufferers, whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson of Calamine, Ark. "when all else failed, and I gained 47 pounds in weight. It's surely the king of all cough and lung cures." Thousands owe their lives and health to it. It's positively guaranteed for coughs, colds, la gripe, asthma, croup-all throat and lung troubles. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free at all drugists.
THE COATESVILLE MURDER.
Southern White Man's Opinion of Lynching in the North.
At a meeting held recently in the Charles Street A. M. E. church in Boston the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Birmingham, Ala., referring to the Contesville (Pa.) lynching, said:
"What happened a week ago in a
"What happened quite recently in a burned to death a Negro manacled to a hospital cot after storming the hospital, may happen any day right here in Boston. The minds of the northern people have been inflamed by southern politicians until now they look on the Negro with the same feelings as the people of the south.
"While I am not trying to assign the president of the United States, I am sure if you had the organization the other races have he would pay attention to your demands that the wrongs of the colored people of the south be righted.
"Some time ago, when a delegation of colored men went to see the president to try to have him incorporate into his message to congress something concerning the conditions of the Negro, they were dismissed. But when a delegation of Jews went to see him in order to have an inquiry made into the alleged discrimination against a Hebrew in the United States army then he paid willing heed to their request. If you had the same organization and the same one mindedness the other races have you could get something done.
"The poor Negro at his cabin door, with his wife and baby by his side, has as much right to be protected as his white fellow citizen. And how can that protection be secured? Only through the ballot which has been taken away from him, only by the use of the vote which has been denied to him. There is nothing more cruel than the fact the southern Negro once had the vote and now has no voice in protecting his race.
"I am sure that just as soon as the American people are made aware of the true state of affairs in the south they will demand that the negro be returned his right to vote. At present it is in direct violation of the constitution of the United States and of the Declaration of Independence. It is taxation without representation and in direct contradiction of the principle that all men are created free and equal."
married the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P. Spang of Manville, Wyo., who said: "She told me Dr. King's New Life Pills had cured her of obstinate kidney trouble and made her feel like a new woman." Easy but sure remedy for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only 25c. at all drugista.

SOCIETY.
FOUNDED BY HON, JOHN E. BUSH
Treasurer of Organization For the Industrial and Intellectual Development of Afro-Americans Reports Cash Balance of Thousands of Dollars at Recent Meeting In Little Rock.
Little Rock, Ark.-The Mosaic Templars of America is one of the strongest factors in the country for the moral, intellectual and industrial development of the race. It had its inception in the thrift and industry of the Hon. John E. Bush, who is a recognized leader among our people in Little Rock.
At the close of the recent session, with all expenses paid and all death claims paid up to date, the order had
W. H.
MON. JOHN E. BUSH.
on hand over $25,000 to meet all claims that might come against it. While the founder is not a native of Arkansas, he has devoted most of his life in the state, becoming one of the foremost citizens. His parents moved to Little Rock when Bush was but a child, coming into the city from Moscow, Tenn. He was placed in the public schools of Little Rock, graduating therefrom. From the time of his graduation until now he has had a busy and useful career. He served as principal of public schools in Little Rock and Hot Springs.
For years he has been active in politics, entered as soon as he reached manhood and has been regarded as an honest politician.
There were two events which happened in the life of Mr. Bush in 1884 which have blended together and placed him in the front ranks. The first one was his nomination by the Greenback party for the position of county clerk of Pulaski county, and the second was the organization of the national Order of Mosaic Templars. While he declined the nomination and threw his strength to the Republican party, making him a stronger man, he continued the work of the Mosaics, making it the stronger until now it ranks with the great fraternal orders of the country, thus showing in a tangible way what the race has contributed to its own development.
"We will never have to go into court to fight for the name of the order with a white man," declared Mr. Bush in a recent interview. "Every man can feel proud that it is his own. Our men and women work side by side, sharing equally the privileges of the organization."
Mr. Bush gives the following general objects of the Order of Mosalcs: To unite fraternally all persons of Negro descent of good moral character, of every profession, business and occupation.
To give all possible moral and material aid to its members by holding instructive and scientific lectures, by encouraging each other in business and assisting each other to obtain employment, but not to interfere with the political or religious opinions of any of its members.
To establish and maintain a benefit fund, from which any sum, not to exceed $500 and not less than $50, shall be paid to the estate of, a financial member. Mr. Bush holds the position of national grand scribe in the order and has held it ever since its organization.
By industry, honesty and thrift John E. Bush has accumulated a fortune. He is said to be worth easily $100,000. This speaks well for a man who was practically born a slave and has had to dig out his own success. In addition to his position in the fraternal order he is a recognized leader of the Republican party in Arkansas and is at the head of the United States land office in this city.
One of Alabama's Prosperous Farmers.
Thomas W. Whitelow, who is now a prosperous and well to do farmer in Macon county, Ala., owns 1,137 acres of rich farm land, which he bought and paid for in three years from farm products raised in cultivation with one yoke of oxen.
BAILEY HEADS ODD FELLOWS.
Ohio Grand Lodge Holds Successful Meeting In Dayton.
The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Ohio made a splendid showing both in membership and finance at the recent meeting of the grand lodge, which was held in Dayton. Features of the public exercises were a monster street parade, led by the uniformed Patriarchs and a grand military carnival. Members of the Household of Ruth were present in large numbers. Grand officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows:
George H. Bailey, Cincinnati, grand master; J. J. Lee, Columbus, deputy grand master; Joseph L. Jones, Cincinnati, deputy grand secretary; Forest Speaks, Springfield, deputy grand treasurer; S. S. Cheeks, Oxford, deputy grand director.
People Realize Need of Newspaper.
The colored citizens of Montgomery City, Mo., and vicinity during the recent celebration of old settlers' reunion passed resolutions indorsing a plan to establish a newspaper in one or more towns in central and southwest Missouri. At the present time they have no adequate means of letting the world know of the conditions under which the race is laboring in that section of the state.
