The Negroes of Colorado Should Appeal the Harris Case MANHOOD KNOWS NO COLOR Twenty-Third Year MANHOO KNOW CAREER AND WORK OF W. E. GROSS How a New York Boy Rose to Prominence In Business. SERVED IN MANY CAPACITIES Brief Record of Man Who Served as a Cook In the Union Army, Wounded at Battle of Fair Oaks and Subsequently Enlisted In Twentieth New York Colored Regiment. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—William E. Gross, the subject of this sketch, was born, reared and educated in New York city. He is of Indian extraction on his father's side and is one of New York's oldest and most highly respected citizens. While attending the old Mulberry street public school, of which the Rev. John Peterson was the principal, young Gross won several prizes for excellence in his studies. p When the civil war broke out he secured the position of cook in the Army of the Potomac, in which position he witnessed some stirring scenes on the battlefield. While he was not an enlisted soldier, he nevertheless performed some difficult tasks for the soldiers in camp, warning them many times of the approach of the enemy. At the battle of Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, however, he was severely wounded in the performance of his duty. After returning to New York, where he recovered from his wound. Mr. Gross enlisted in the Twentieth New York colored regiment. Fearing that the physical strain would be too much for their son, Mr. and Mrs. Gross persuaded him to follow a more quiet life. Whereupon Mr. Gross secured a position as waiter in a restaurant and afterward became steward for one of New York's wealthy clubs. In this position he met men of national promi- M. B. race and wealth, whose friendship turned to good account in dollars and cents. By thrift and economy he saved enough of his earnings to secure a first class catering outfit and soon launched out into business for himself. He has been eminently successful in his line and numbers among his patrons some of the wealthiest families in the city. Being well known and having had years of experience at the trade before entering business on his own book gave Mr. Gross a prestige which meant success from the very start. Of course he met obstacles, some prejudice and difficulties, but he persistently overcame them. Mr. Gross has been associated in almost all good movements for the betterment of the race for many years. In secret and benevolent organizations he is perhaps better known first as a past officer in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. When the Society of the Sons of New York was a potent factor in the social club life among Afro-Americans Mr. Gross was one of its most active and influential members. He served the society in the capacity of president for three years. Of the many public movements in which Mr. Gross has taken part and which he has aided with his money and personal effort it was not until the heated discussion of a decade or two ago to decide the question of mixed schools in New York that his real race pride asserted itself. It was largely through Mr. Gross' influence with Grover Cleveland, who was then governor of New York state, that the governor quickly concluded to sign the mixed school bill.

IN EDUCATIONAL CIRCLES Miss Bruington Appointed Teacher In Los Angeles Public Schools. Los Angeles, Cal.-The recent appointment by the board of education in this city of Miss Bessie Bruington as a teacher in the public schools is regarded by Afro-Americans as a long step forward toward the realization of their fondest hopes in regard to a square deal in the recognition of the services of capable young men and women as teachers in the public schools. Miss Bruington is a comely and attractive young woman of twenty-one. She will be assigned to work with the colored children, of course. She graduated from Polytechnic high school three years ago, with special recommendation to Stanford university. As her purpose in life is to work for the educational uplift of our people she elected to attend the State Normal school of this city, from which she graduated with high honors and was recommended to Superintendent Francis as a teacher specially qualified to teach in city schools. During last year Miss Bruington did cadet work at Fifty-first street school, where a large number of colored children attend. She took charge of the first three grades. In speaking of Miss Bruington's special fitness Mr. Guinn, one of the members of the teachers' committee, says: "Miss Bruington is enthusiastic in regard to her work, bringing to it the physical and temperamental power of her race, added to the culture and thoroughness derived from the higher education which she has received. "The board has frequently been ask ed by the colored people of the city to appoint teachers of their own race for their children, and we consider that we have been fortunate in our choice of Miss Bruington." NEW INTEREST IN ART AND MUSIC National Association Seeks to Enlarge Membership. tary J. D.

Odd Fellows' District Conver- Florida Odd Fellows are pro for the next district convention WILL SOON START CAMPAIGN New York Selected as Starting Point For Active Work Among the Members of the Various Clubs Holding Membership In the National Organization. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—The National Association of Colored Musical and Arts Clubs, which was organized in Brooklyn in 1908, is planning a national campaign to create an awakening among colored musicians and artists. Realizing the advance the race is making along musical and artistic endeavors, this organization was formed to bring together the musicians and artists of the race in order to create greater interest among them for mutual betterment and to find out what is possible to accomplish along the lines of music, art and painting. The National association in planning this campaign hopes to reach every musical and art club in the country and thus maintain a strong national organization. Since the organization of this National association among the colored musicians and artists much good has been done in stimulating greater individual effort on the part of members of the profession. Some of the best known members of the profession are working enthusiastically for the success of the movement. The first fall meeting of the association will be held in New York early in October at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marsshall, 240 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, where applications for membership from musical and art clubs will be received. It is the desire of those interested to have a large number of clubs which have not joined the national body to do so at the coming meeting. A national convention will be held annually in various sections of the country, where subjects bearing upon the work of the musician and artist will be discussed. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, who was elected president of the National association, is one of the most accomplished artists of the race. She has attained an eminent place in the profession and has been constantly identified with musical endeavor. She received her musical training at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, which is one of the best in the country. Shortly after leaving the conservatory she started out on a musical career, finally going to Washington, where she became instructor of music in the public schools. While working in this capacity she saw the necessity of cultivating the artistic gifts of young men and women of the race and as a result established the Washington Conservatory of Music, which is the only school of its kind which seeks to give a purely musical and art education. The school has a national reputation, and some of the most noted men and women of the race constitute its faculty. Speaking of the need of the National association, Mrs. Marshall says: "The great need of this organization is paramount. The movement is in keeping with the general musical advance. In order that colored artists may keep up with this advance such an association is necessary." Western Negro Press Association Issues Call For Convention. Muskogee, Okla.—President Andrew J. Smitherman of this town and Secre- tary J. D. Cook of Milwaukee. Wis. have issued an urgent call for the fifteenth annual meeting of the Western Negro Press association, which is to be held in Topeka, Kan., for two days beginning on Thursday, Nov. 30. Nashville's New City Councilman. At the recent primary elections held in Nashville, Tenn., Dr. S. P. Harris defeated the Democratic nominee for city councilman. Dr. Harris' success is considered quite a victory, as he will be the only Afro-American to occupy a seat in the councilmanic chamber since 1886. Odd Fellows' District Convention.

Prof. Williams of the band is again in front. He has just published, with Gotham Attucks of New York, his new march song, "The Ninth at San Antonio." The libretto is built upon conditions and incidents surrounding our recent trip to Texas. Prof. Williams stands as a splendid example to younger musicians as to the possibilities attainable by hard work and perseverance. Copies of this production can be had of the author or publishers. And now the band—well, of course, a regiment must have a band to keep things going, but this time the band shows where its heart is. You can bet, too, 'tis in the right place.

OPENING FOR NURSES—COLORED HOSPITAL HOLDS CLINIC. Dr. De Frantz has returned to the city, thoroughly refreshed for his winter work. While in Kansas City he had an opportunity of visiting the hospital there which the city has set apart for colored patients. This one, with the private sanatarium of Dr. Perry and Douglass hospital of the A. M. E. connection, all of which have been recently improved, gives plenty of facilities, possibly the best Negroes have anywhere in this country. The City hospital is the old one, with two Negro coctors as interes and a staff composed of Drs. W. H. Thompkins, M. O. Bausfield, E. J. McCampbell and J. E. Perry. One feature of the hospital work will be the training of nurses. Nurses will draw a nominal salary, be housed and fed and uniformed. This opening for the training of young women is a rare one, and one that all who wish to engage in this class of work would do well to investigate. Dr. DeFrants speaks in high terms of the work of the hospital and was privileged to witness an operation while there.

PLEASANT BIRTHDAY PARTY. The rolling years have added one by one their tally in the life of Mrs. Matilda Ewing, but they have been far more generous in the friendships she has made. On last Friday night all the friends who could comfortably be cared for in the spacious home of Mrs. Frazier on East Twenty-sixth avenue gathered to make Mrs. Ewing feel some measure of the regard they had for her. A social evening that was unique was passed. The birthday cake, always the center of attraction on such occasions, was there in illuminated splendor, a center of attraction around which cavorted all kinds of toothsome dainties, going to make up a very appetizing luncheon. At the close, when all had done what they could by words to make the occasion a gladsome one for their hostess, they left a multitude of valuable and pleasing gifts, fit reminders of the day. ANNOUNCEMENT. The Young Men's Christian Brotherhood has definitely decided upon the football game Thanksgiving day with the Ninth cavalry boys and are going ahead with the arrangements for the game. There is also a tentative proposition on foot to bring the famous band of the regiment to Denver at the same time and feature it in a concert. Plans have not fully developed, but it is expected that this latter will be attempted if conditions at Fort Russell warrant an excursion from that point here on that day. The soldier tram is from Troop I, which is commanded by Captain Young. Football is more or less of a familiar sight to the many, but should the commanding officer come, Denver people will have a chance to see the race's representative with shoulder straps who is a West Pointer. NOTICE.

FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, e and Six GREAT SUCCESS Chicago, Ill.—(Special)—Madam E. Azalia Hackley was greeted by a packed house of music lovers on last Thursday night at Orchestra hall, Michigan avenue and Jackson boulevard. The occasion was the retiring recital of this noted singer, and it proved to be the greatest event in the history of Chicago people. It was a success from every angle, notably in point of art, attendance and appreciation. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Cary B. Lewis, editor of the Illinois Chronicle, who was manager and press agent, that the Orchestra hall was packed from pit to dome. Visitors were here from several states and the society people were out in great style, leaders occupying the 23 boxes. It is safe to state that it was the grandest and most brilliant musical and social affair that has ever taken place in this city. It was the first time that colored people have ever had Orchestra hall and they turned out in taxis and autos, the ladies wearing beautiful Paris creations and the men in full dress. Madam Hackley rendered her program in a most pleasing manner. In every number she showed the highest of training, the most wonderful range of voice and gave a series of vocal demonstrations that carried the house by storm. Her songs were sung with all artistry of the finished singer. The recital was highly entertaining and was of great value to all who heard her. The Tribune and Record Herald critics spoke of her work in a most complimentary manner. Telegrams were read from all parts of the country by Mr. Cary B. Lewis and she received many handsome bouquets. Madam Hackley is being urged to return next spring and train a big chorus for a public musical. THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND COM MENTS.

When the high cost of living and oth- er problems make it necessary for a Republican president to go into Iowa and Michigan and make peace, it is time for him and for the party to con- sider what is the attitude of the faith. ful black man. We commend the astuteness of the president in taking his cause to the people. They have commended him for his courageous presentation of his position. But only the election can tell how far they are persuaded. The few may be led by considerations of the future, by ab- stract justice and the like, but the full dinner pail has won the most votes and decided the most elections. Taft has traveled thousands of miles and addressed hundreds of aud- fences, explaining how his policies on conservation, tariff, recall and the like are really the shortest road to better conditions. But for colored citizens, who have all these and more perplexing prob- lems, he has said not a word, not even though we are Republicans of ap- proved standing. It is worse than stupid for the leaders of the Repub- lican party to assume that they may treat with colored voters any differ- ently than they do with white. The party has a right to our support and in return it owes us the obligation of properly representing our interests. If it is ashamed to represent us, if it is afraid, if it is unwilling, we can understand neglect. But 11 we are to do our share in holding the old ship in its course next year, it is most un- fortunate that President Taft is silent and takes for granted that we are al- ready lined up for the grand old party. When states always Republican are made doubtful by the increased dif- ficulty in getting bread, why would not the Negro be changed also, when his very life is the sport of mobs? Is bread more than life? The national administration cannot control crops, neither has it taken from the states their sovereignty over the lives and property of citizens. But many a time in the past hard times has been the rock that defeated otherwise good ad- ministrauons, and lynch law spells the desertion of the Negro from the Republican party unless action is taken. Democracy is the actual perpetrator of more injustice against Negroes than our own party, but when white people with their superior knowledge of government are led into changing control by bad conditions, Negroes will do no different. Republicans had just as well wake up now and once for all begin to consider Negroes as men, foolish sometimes perhaps, de spised generally, but human—so hu- man that they can be led but cannot be driven. The next few months will be the opportunity for the Republican party. If it neglects to show its bet ter side to our people, it will make doubly hard the rallying of its sup porters in the election, and will make comparatively easy the loss of a large per cent. of our voting strength when Democracy learns to quit fighting the war over at each election. INFLUENTIAL SOUTHERN PAPER ON RACE PROBLEM. Whites Should “Tote” Square, Says New Orleans Item. ‘The Item, New Orleans, recently had the following strong editorial regard- ing the rights of colored Americans, ‘The Item says: “We state unqualifiedly that there is every reason why, in decency, justice, humanity and good public policy, the better white people of this section should accord even handed justice and Proper consideration to the self re- specting, law abiding element of our Negro population. “In the first place. the man who as- sumes a cruel attitude toward another human being stultifies himself. In the next place the man’ who does another ‘A wrong or injustice unnecessarily dis- courages and imbitters that person. “There is such u thing as noblesse oblige in this world—a carrying out of the idea that one who has the advan- tage of race. color, birth or breeding ‘owes it to himself to treat others with kindness and consideration, “The misconceptions of reconstruc- tion times have passed aw. y. ‘he Ne- groes know their place in society. The white people know that there is no pos- sibility of any attempt being made on the part of the sane element of the Negro race to seek social equality or to strive for political power through the ballot. “The Negroes have been disfran- chised. They have no say in the goy- ernment of the country to which they pay taxes and whose laws they must obey. Fighting them is like shooting at tame birds. Making an issue of them in politics is demagogism pure and sim- ple. “The reason is thst this is fair and right, and strong men, just men, chiv- alrous men, stand for these, things in all cases and under all circumstances. “The Negroes are a valuable indus- trial element in the south. They cre- ate a large part of our wealth. They do a great deal of the work. It is idle and fatuous to argue the abstraction whether we would be better off even- tually if they were not here. They are here—a condition, not a theory. “They will be here while the rest of us live, an element for good or for evil. Fair treatment of them. humane treat- ment, will certainly not make ther. worse as a race or more difficult as a problem, nor will it hurt those who recognize the comparative helplessness of the Negroes and insist that each of them shall be treated in accordance with the merits of his established char- acter and personal. behavior.” Dark Races Flocking te America. Colored people are coming to the United States in great numbers from the Cape Verde islands, according to tecent reports. Within the past dec- ade about 10,000 have taken up resi- dence, in this country. They are gen- erally known as East Indians, but are in truth nothing less than natives of the Kongo, in Africa, who have drift- ed into the Cape Verde islands, inter- married with the native islanders and partaken of their civilization. The trend of the dark races is westward. It was started hundreds of years ago. Haiti's New Minister to United States.

Gregg of St. Joseph, pastor of the leading A. M. E. church there. He spoke at Shorter in the morning and at Zion in the evening. Rev. Gregg is one of the young ministers of his connection who is old already in achievements. He has been in Africa and the West Indies. He is a graduate of the University of Kansas, as well as of Wilberforce. Denver enjoyed a real treat in his eloquence. He is a splendid example of the educated minister, having all the advantages of learning in addition to his splendid natural equipment. In addition to being such an excellent speaker, he is a singer of reputation and for that alone he would have been a welcome visitor to Denver. On Thursday, the day before he left, he spoke to the Shorter Mite Missionary society, a goodly audience hearing him. He was especially apt in his remarks, as he had been on the field of missionary endeavor in foreign lands. Rev. Gregg was a member of the Kansas volunteer regiment that was in the Spanish American war. That fact, together with his Kansas schooling, made him well known to many here. He was entertained at several homes. Rev. Over entertained at dinner for him and Rev. Ward on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Reynolds are the happy parents of a baby girl, born Thursday. R. W.

Endeavoring to correct some false impressions that still seem to exist concerning my bill for divorce, I make the following statements: I regret that the daily press exploited the matter and consequently gave out impressions which were not incorporated in my application for divorce. Court records will show mine to be one among the many such cases withdrawn from file and a reconciliation reached on the part of husband and wife. After eleven years of wedded life and with the interest of little children at heart, I could see no wrong in accepting of what would seem to avert the dissolution of home ties and the destruction of home joys and happiness of our children.

Forty-fourth Annual Meeting of Progressive North Carolina Organization Brings Together Many Trained and Experienced Workers—Mrs. Shepard's Paper Creates Lively Discussion BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Fayetteville, N. C.—A concrete evidence of the Afro-American folk in this state being in the forward rank of movements for the awakening of the masses for their material good was plainly seen at the forty-fourth annual session of the Baptist educational and missionary convention of North Carolina, which was held in this city Oct. 24 to 27, inclusive. A pertinent sign that our people in North Carolina are becoming deeply interested in the educational and missionary movements and evincing a sincere desire for co-operation along this especial phase of racial endeavors made the convention one of vital import. The program was varied and pregnant with live topics discussed by scholars and people with "native abl- [Name] REV. DR. C. S. BROWN. ity" to make the program helpful to the large delegations from every section of the state. Enthusiasm, divorced from that peculiar emotionalism which is not spontaneous and not material, was another healthy factor of this meeting. Dr. N. F. Roberts, vice president of Shaw university, a man possessing every characteristic of a seer, touched upon some vital facts concerning the exigencies of the race requiring an educated ministry. The subject of this masterly address was, "Ministerial Education." Never before in the history of the organization has there been such a manifestation for the conserving of interest of the missionary and educational advancement through this organization as was evidenced by the women of the convention. "Work Among Our Women" was the subject of a paper by Mrs. P. G. Shepard that set the convention aglow with the spirit of self help. Mrs. C. S. Brown, the wife of Dr. C. S. Brown, and a number of other educated and tireless female workers in the convention helped to kindle this enthusiasm, which greatly enhanced the work. the learned Dr. A. W. Pegues, the head of the State Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution For Afro-Americans, which is conceded to be the best for the race in the country, gave impetus to the occasion by his masterly presentation of the subject, "Why Are We Called Missionary Baptist?" "Christian Literature and Foreign Missions," by Dr. S. N. Vass, elicited pronounced enthusiasm and favorable comment. By his native eloquence Dr. C. S. Morris of Norfolk, Va., contributed his share to the enhancing of the best interest of the body. He was followed by Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, who accentuated the principles making for racial uplift through educational and missionary channels. Colonel James H. Young, a national character and a forceful speaker, and Dr. A. M. Moore, treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, the greatest Negro insurance company in the world, brought before the convention the movement of the laymen by discussing the subject. "Our Laymen and the Forward Movement." With an ease and peculiar power to reach men and bring things to pass for the good of society in general and foremost in educational, religious, civic and fraternal, as well as enhancing economic activities of the race, Dr. C. S. Brown, president Waters Normal institute, Winton, N. C., president Lott Carey Baptist foreign missionary convention and corresponding secretary of this convention, was one of the most potent factors. Colonel Young and other prominent delegates indorsed the ministers' conference. Another prominent layman was Mr. C. C. Spaulding, one of the leading business men of this section. Mr. Spaulding is the general manager of the N. C. M. and P. association, Durham, N. C. UNIVERSITY FOR HIGHER CULTURE Enrollment at Atlanta May Break All Former Records. OLDEST OF ITS KIND IN SOUTH. With Students From Five States and Twenty-two Cities and Towns Atlanta University Begins its Forty-third School Year With Enlarged Facilities For Doing Greater Work. Atlanta, Ga.—The forty-third school year at Atlanta university opened recently under very favorable circumstances. The enrollment of the first few days gives promise of an unusually large attendance. The boarding department has almost reached its full capacity of 160, and the number of day students fill the seats in the study rooms. The total number will probably be something over 400. All of these students are above the grades in classification. In the preparatory classes there are 300, in the normal school sixty-five, and in the college something over fifty. The largest number come from Savannah. Athens sends the next largest delegation, and the remainder come from Rome and Augusta, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Charleston, S.C., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Altogether they represent five different states and twenty-two different towns and cities. This institution is one of the oldest in the south for the higher education of Negro youth and, beyond the payments of students, is supported by voluntary contributions of friends throughout the country. There are thirty-three on the force of teachers and officers, among them graduates of Harvard, Yale and Chicago universities, Smith, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, Dartmouth and Beloit colleges. The students' charges for board and tuition amount to $120 a year in the college and normal school, but every student has the privilege of reducing this amount appreciably by extra work about the grounds and buildings. There are also scholarship funds available for needy students who show ability and earnestness of purpose. Through the generosity of friends in New York city the institution offers this year chance for special work in kindergarten training. There is also opportunity for individual training in instrumental music and vocal music. The university is beautifully located upon a hill in the western part of the city of Atlanta. There are seven substantial brick buildings, some of them beautifully overgrown with ivy and surrounded by a campus of sixty acres. In the Knowles industrial building boys receive instruction in manual training, and there are facilities for an extended course in mechanic arts. The girls are given instruction in domestic science, and it is expected that each one before graduating shall spend at least four months in the Furber cottage or domestic science home, where all the work is carried on by the girls under the supervision of the house mother, thus giving excellent training and experience. The work is earnestly Christian, but undenominational. It is governed by an independent board of sixteen trustees and from its founding in 1867 has stood unequivocally for the best opportunities of liberal education for colored boys and girls. In line with this purpose the trustees have recently authorized an enlargement in the courses of study. Hereafter the normal preparatory course will be four years instead of three, as heretofore, and students desiring to accept the provision of teaching may elect a two years' normal course on the completion of the preparatory course or a four years' teachers' college course parallel to the classical course. In order that those who are expecting to be teachers may have an opportunity to observe the best methods, the Oglethorpe practice school was erected on the campus five years ago. In this building are gathered about 150 little children for kindergarten and grade work, and here the normal girls observe and practice under the supervision of the principal. Atlanta university has for some sixteen years specialized in the department of sociology and economics, which under Professor W. E. B. Du Bois was brought to a high state of excellence. Under the auspices of this department there have been published fourteen annual studies on the Negro problems. These studies are in the form of reports of a conference which is held each May at the university. The last to be issued from the Atlanta University Press was the report on "The College Bred Negro." This study has received extended and flattering notice in the papers and periodicals of the nation. Though Dr. Du Bois is no longer professor of sociology at Atlanta university, he still retains the directorship of the conference and the editorship of the report. The study above referred to was issued by Dr. Du Bois working in conjunction with Associate Professor Dill at Atlanta university. The recognition which Atlanta university has received both in this country and abroad for the excellence of the sociological department and the conference reports should be a cause of gratification to all colored people and their friends.

Public Sentiment Aroused In the North by Mr. Manning. Public opinion in the north is being aroused by Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama to the startling conditions of the suppressed white and black south. He shows, for example, that in Alabama the crop mortgage system, by which the poor man must mortgage his household effects and his growing crops at ruinous rates of interest to obtain living supplies, puts him in the power of the mortgagee and leads directly to serfdom and peonage. Out of 700,000 children of school age but 200,000 white children, or about one-half, attend school. And of the 300,000 colored children only 80,000 attend school, and the school term in the country districts and towns is only three months in the year. "This is not a race or black man's question," points out a committee which has taken up this subject. "It is a menace to the safety of republican government. It is futtle to leave this matter to the south, where the only discussion of it tolerated is that PRINTING Envelopes, Letters of all kinds, Posters, Cards, Programs in Printing, and on the line of...

The way to reach the root of the wrong is through public opinion in the country at large. And it is to stir up public opinion that we appeal to you for a hearing for Mr. Manning, who is well known in New England for his capability, earnestness and fearlessness and many years of devoted service for all the people of the south. His aim here is to place the facts, which have hitherto been studiously suppressed, before the country and leave it to apply proper remedies. For the safety of the whole country we ask you to share this work with us." The committee that makes this appeal follows: Butler R. Wilson, Boston; Clement G. Morgan, Boston; Edgar P.

Perhaps there is no team in the country doing a neater or cleverer work. They do an act that gets the hand constantly. Mr. Washington is of Jubilee fame, having been formerly the manager of Carter's Jubilee Warbler, and of several other companies. His wife, Mrs. Jones, is a graduate from the school of music, Cleveland, O., and the team know the ins and outs. They are playing on the Orpheum and are booked solid for 20 weeks. GEORGE BAILEY'S FEMALE BAND. One of the most creditable collections of ladies anywhere has been found in Chicago. When it comes to making up a band, Mr. Bailey's band of colored female musicians is one that is in a class by themselves, as they are playing everything there is in the land of harmony. A BOXER'S BEGINNING. What makes a prize fighter? Some say that they are born and others say they are made. And if we will stop and think I am quite certain that we will find that there are very few born prize fighters. A prize fighter is made out of all classes and nations. If a man has aspirations of being a prize fighter the first thing he will do is to start hanging around with that class of people and will in time show that he has intentions that would point in the pugilistic direction. And if there is any class to him he will be given a chance to spar with those that are better than he himself. He will box at smokers and try his hand in battles royal, and if he can get his name in the paper just once, why it is almost settled that he is on his way. And he in time acquires large following, all of them his friends. They tell him how great he is and that he should be the next champion, all of which is either the making of him or the downfall of his ambition. There are always 99 per cent. more downfalls than there are get-theme men, and such are the trials of the beginner. That famous lecturer and scholar, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, will deliver his famous lecture, "Africa in America and Africa Beyond the Seas," for the benefit of the church renovation.

Last Saturday night the big Rocky Mountain Athletic club quintette made the hit of their whole career at the D. A. Club. There was plenty of everything to be had in the way of entertainment and the quintette did not fail to put on everything but quit. And they are open for all engagements. KID ORGAN Big Ira Organ, the boxer, who has been out of the game for some time, has gone into quiet training with Jack Morris and it is expected that they will soon be to the front with some clever stunts. Organ is a big husky kid and with the right kind of training, I don't see why he shouldn't make good. He has a dreamland punch in either mitt and it is hoped that we will see him in action in the near future. Woman, what are you like, And what do you crave? To tell a whole lot of lies, And deceive to your grave. They like a good time, you bet, With fine clothes and all; And the dear men they get Are suckers after all. —By Leon Pryor. some of the important subjects discussed at the opening session of the conference of church workers which convened in the Church of the Epiphany in this town on Tuesday evening, Oct. 3, to last for four days. Addresses of welcome were delivered by the Right Rev. E. S. Lines, bishop of Newark, and Rev. Charles T. Walk- P. ley, rector of Grace church, Orange, which were responded to by the Rev. Henry L. Phillips of Philadelphia, president of the conference. The annual sermon was preached by the venerable Henry D. Delaney, archdeacon of North Carolina. Holy communion, organization and the president's annual address were the principal features of the morning session on Wednesday. Among the speakers at the evening session were the Rev. H. C. Bishop, Dr. Conwell Bantum, Rev. G. F. Miller and the Hon. William F. Powell. Two excellent papers were also read, one on "The Adaptability of the Protestant Episcopal Church to the Colored People," by the Rev. M. F. Duty of Wiltington, Del., and the other on "The Church and Her Mission in the Present Day Advancement of Society," by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York. Morning prayer on Thursday was conducted by the Rev. Charles Wesley Brooks of Birmingham, Ala., and Rev. R. H. Tabb Rev. Owen M. Walter of Brooklyn read an able and inquisitive paper on the subject. "For the Furtherance of PRIEST the Work of the Church Among the Colored People Where Should Be the Point of Contact—In the Diocesan or General Convention?" Other speakers on Thursday were the Rev. James N. Deaner, Atlantic City, N. J.; Rev C. L. Somers, Richmond, Va.; Rev D. L. Ferguson, Louisville, Ky., and Rev J. D. Lykes of Charleston, S. C. Friday was woman's auxiliary day. The closing session of the conference was held on Friday evening and was attended by a large number of persons of both races. Speakers for this session were Rev James E. Ising, Ratigh, N. C.; Rev G. A. McGinn, New York; Mr J. W. Stewart, New Haven County; E. Robert Bennett, an aide SPECIAL All Steaks, any cut any amount 10c lb Are you willing to let us reduce your living expenses?

DENVER BOYS BACK. Cruelson Edwards, the clever young comedian of note, and George Spike Mennis have returned to the city after being away for two months with the J. W. Isham Octoroons Co. Son Edwards was the star comedian and gained much note as a clever comedy man, with Spike a close second. They will be in the city for a few weeks and then they leave for the coast, where they are going to join a newly orized comedy company. FOOTBALL BOYS HANGING OUT. There is a rumor out that the star players of the Y. M. C. B. football team last year are not going to play football this season with the Y. M. C. B.'s unless they are paid for their services, which in m syight is quite right, because if you will notice last year the boys that played the hardest and made the most star plays were not members of the Y. M. C. B. and did not get the credit that was due them, owing to the fact that they were not in a social class with the Y. M. C. B.'s. So why should they play if they are not to be paid for what they do? THE BIG TRIO Miss Lena Marshall, Charles Woody and Bertha Grant, known all through the east as the three kids, have just closed eight successful weeks on the Griffin circuit. They are now being booked for the Shea circuit. COPELAND & PAYTON The clever team of Copeanld & Payton seem to make an impression wherever they play. Their act is one that is fast and snappy and takes well everywhere. They are playing return dates at the Lincoln theatre, New York city, this week. REMEMBER SKATING RINK EVERY FRIDAY AT LUNA PARK Heated and Enclosed THE BIG SMOKER AT EL JEBEL. This past Thursday night at El Jebel Temple some of the fastest colored boys in the city participated in the clever bouts that were pulled off. The first big bout was between Scotty Williams and Joe Madison for five rounds. Williams was cheated out of a knockout in the very first round, making Joe take the count of ten, but owing to the rule of the house, a knockout was prohibited and Scotty had to finish the bout with Joe, which ended in a draw. This boy Scotty, with the right kind of a trainer, will be a world beater in the course of time, as he is a hard hitter and fast and clever. BATTLING THOMPSON BEATS BROWN. Owing to the fact that Battling Thompson has had more ring experience than the fast coming Denver boy, Roy Brown, is greatly the cause of him winning over Brown in their six-round bout, and it must be truly said that Brown has improved wonderfully since his last meeting with the Battler and in time will show Battling Thompson where to head in. Of course, Thompson is faster than Brown and knows more about the game. But Brown is very confident that in a longer bout he could take the Battler's measure. And it is probable that both men will be matched again in a longer bout. Knockout Brown won the battle royal over Kid Dorsey, Williams, Arapahoe Red and another participant unknown. It was one of the best battles royal witnessed in a long time and the whole show in fact was one to keep everybody awake.

E. B. Du Bois. Speaking of the work of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis Magazine, the Pittsburgh Sunday Press says: "His many scholarly attainments, tireless efforts and unflinching loyalty are known and appreciated. His ceaseless warfare against everything that tends to interfere with the free and full exercise of all the rights and privileges guaranteed to Afro-Americans under the constitution and the laws has stamped him as a leader guided by intelligence, experience and sagacity." Damaging Effect of Segregation. Miss Grace Campbell, probation officer at the criminal courts building in New York, is the first young woman of the race to hold such a position. Her work among the unfortunate of both races has been most effective and satisfactory. Of her experience with the various nationalities in her work in the Tombs Miss Campbell says: "Personally I cannot see any inherent difference between one race and another. We are all human, but environment has changed us. Opportunity has developed one race, while segregation and oppression have prevented the highest development of another." RATLEY BROS.
