STARTED IN SCHOOLHOUSE. Interesting Historical Sketch of an Incorporated Organization Which Came Into Being Long Before the Dawn of Freedom - Legislative Acts and Names of First Officers. New York.-The New York African Society For Mutual Relief was organized in 1808 and chartered by the legislature of New York in 1810, the bill granting it a charter being presented by Assemblyman Brower. The society was organized June 6, 1808, in the schoolhouse for colored children on Rose street, a constitution was adopted and the following roster of officers elected for its government: William Hamilton, John Teasman, Henry Sipkins, Adam Carman, Daniel Berry, Adam Ray, Daniel Brownhill, James McEwan, Henry Rouse, Samuel Charley, Richard Tankard, Samuel Clause, Benjamin Slighter and Peter Vogelsang. A permanent organization having thus been perfected, these gentlemen proceeded to petition the legislature, praying for an act of incorporation. Their petition was read and referred to a select committee consisting of the following members of the assembly representing New York city: Thomas Farmar, Solomon Townsend, Augustus Wright, Samuel L. Mitchell, Abraham E. Brower, Caleb Pell, Samuel Torker, John P. Anthony, Ichabod Proll, B. M. Van Buren and Adrian Hegeman. This committee reported favorably upon the bill, entitled "An act to incorporate the New York African Society For Mutual Relief," which had been ordered to a second reading. On March 23, 1810, a message from the honorable the council of revision, delivered by its secretary, was read, to the effect that it did not appear improper to the council that the bill entitled "An act to incorporate the New York African Society For Mutual Relief" (and others mentioned, including the Mechanic bank) should severally become laws of the state. The late John J. Zuille in his historical sketch of this society says: Thus began the corporate existence of our ancient and honorable institution—ancient because the first society of its class organized among us to receive legislative aid, honorable because for a period of move that eighty years elapsed, we public scrutiny and today stands unsullied in its reputation, bearing aloft all its honors, challenging the admiration of the community, carrying with it the esteem of young and old of the present generation, increasing in strength, advancing in the accumulation of property and in all the elements that constitute our best respectability and highest of its class. Our incorporation was far in advance of the spirit of the age. It was six years before the legislature had passed the act to make New York a free state and about seventeen years before such act should take effect. It was to usher in an incorporated society before the manhood of its membership was acknowledged by the community at large, but it was the law. March 22 was made a memorable day. To celebrate it in an appropriate manner, to appear on the public streets with flying colors and a band of music for the first time would surely attract a mob, and the consequences were feared among our own members and to some extent our friends. One friend remarked, and his remark was echoed by others, "Your society has a perfect right to every immunity which every other society has under its act of incorporation, and the city is bound by its obligation to preserve the peace, to protect and defend you, but such is the malignity of public prejudice that the authorities would be entirely powerless to protect you on the streets, and you would be torn in pieces by howling mobs. New Yorkers, by howling mobs, oppose and the society, headed by a full band composed of Negroes, marched through the streets of the city. "We will go though death stares us in the face," said Hamilton Latham Teasman and the rest of them, and they did go with hearts of true men. By their daring they compelled the monster public prejudice to falter in its step. So the men grasped him by the throat, hurling him to the earth, trampled under foot his prostrate body, proclaiming themselves victor over him with the right secured to march through the public streets of the city at will then and thereafter forever. At this celebration, memorable in the history of the Negroes of New York city and state, the constitution and dispatches of a congratulatory nature were rend. An ode composed and set to music by James Latham, one of the founders of the society, was sung. The procession marched past the homes of the gentry in the fashionable and aristocratic sections and was greeted with cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs. Being thus recognized by the best people in the city, the rowdy element feared the consequences of any interference with them. These celebrations were kept up for a number of years and were the principal features of the social life of the colored people. The example set by the African society was followed by other benevolent societies. But after a few years the African Society For Mutual Relief abandoned this form of celebration and substituted one more suitable. On March 12, 1840, on motion of the Hon. A. H. Livingstone, a state senator, a bill granting a renewal of the charter of the society or to extend the act of incorporating the New York African Society For Mutual Relief was read a third time in the senate and passed, receiving the necessary two-thirds votes of all the members present. Those voting for the bill were Senators Clark, A. B. Dickinson, Dixon, D. S. Dickinson, Edwards, Ely, Furman, Hawkins, Hopkins, Hull, Hunt, Johnson, Lee, H. A. Livingstone, Moseley, Nichols, Peck, Skinner, Tallimage, Van Dyck, Wager, Works, Young - 23 nays, 0. It was thereupon ordered that the clerk deliver said bill to the assembly and inform that body that the senate had passed the same without amendment. A message was received from the senate informing the house of its action and a later message from the governor stating that he had signed the bill to extend the act incorporating the New York African Society For Mutual Relief. Mr. Zullie adds, "Referring back to the first organization of our society in 1808, we find that it was formed one year after the organization of the Society of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, that we were incorporated six years after the American Bible society was formed and thirty-two years before the introduction of Croton water into the city of New York, eighteen years before the American institute was founded, forty-two years before the founding of the Young Men's Christian association, forty-seven years before Central park was set apart as a place of popular resort." The society got right down to business after it had acquired its charter in 1820 and began buying property. It owned a house at 42 Baxter street valued at $20,000, one on Greenwich avenue valued at $17,000 and other real estate in sections of New York city where the prices are now almost prohibitive, valued at $40,000 (big values for those days). One of its treasurers with an itching palm decamped with over $1,100 of the society's funds, but it kept right on doing and achieving to its everlasting credit.

The members of the African society were a type of Negroes all too scarce at the present day. They were real men, men with a purpose, and they accomplished their purpose. They vindicated the character and proved the capacity of black men for business. New York's Negro business men at that early day occupied a conspicuous place in the business and commercial life of the city, as the following roster will show: William Hamilton, Sr., William Hamilton, Jr., James Latham, Edward Latham, house carpenters; Henry Brynes, Richard Augustus, Alexander Elston, Prince Loveridge, Isaac Goslah, William Brooks bootmakers; George DeGrasse, Thomas L.

Louisiana Supreme Court Upholds Rights of Colored Citizens. New Orleans.-The recent decision of the supreme court of Louisiana in respect to jimcrow car laws should gladden the heart of every American citizen who believes in law and order and fair and equal treatment according to law for every American citizen and who believes in legal rights and law enforcement as against mob law. The decision of the court is to the effect that a colored person has a vested right to a seat in a street car, despite the jimcrow law in effect in New Orleans and other Louisiana cities, and that he cannot move from a seat in the white compartment of a car, provided there is no seat in the Negro section. The appeal was that of Joseph Anderson against the New Orleans Railways and Light company. The tribunal affirms the verdict for damages awarded Mr. Anderson and increases the amount from $50 to $250. The partitions on the street cars in this city are movable. The opinion holds that a conductor has a right to move the partitions, but continues: "Where a passenger has found a seat in the compartment assigned to his race the officer has no right by moving the partition to put him in the wrong compartment when there is no seat to be found in the compartment thus newly established for his race." A number of other cases based upon the Jimcrow law are also pending in the courts. CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE.

Among the special committees appointed was the civil rights committee, whose duty it shall be to confer with the president, senators, governors and congressmen with a view of having the law enforced against lynching, disfranchisement, discrimination in public places and on common carriers, such as railroads, street cars and other public convenances. "Wherever there are jimcrow laws separating the races on railroads and in public places," says President A. J. Smithherman, "the colored people are invariably accorded inferior accommodation. In many instances they are forced to ride for hundreds of miles in insanitary apartments not much better than cattle cars. If we must have separate cars the railroad companies should be compelled to give the colored people accommodation equal in comfort in every way to that given other people. "Think of a colored man or woman riding twenty-four or forty-eight hours in a straight back seat in an apartment where both men and women use the same accommodations and often without a smoking compartment for men and for this accommodation forced to pay the same fare as the white man or woman who are given all the comforts of chairs and on Pullman cars. "A colored man or woman gets just as tired and 'worn out' when travelling as a white man or woman and would appreciate the comforts of a reclining chair and the berth of a Pullman car to the same extent as any other person. The colored people are entitled to a part of the chair cars and a part of the Pullman cars in every state where the juncrow law is in force, and it is my opinion that they will eventually get it because the best class of white people in the country, people who are not afraid to espouse the cause of human rights, will assist us in the fight. There are enough good people in America to see that right dominates. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. Mrs. Ella Ellis has been quite ill for the past week. Mrs. Carson and little daughter, Louise, formerly of Colorado Springs, are late arrivals to our city. The Ladies' Aid society will give a quilting this week at the residence of Mrs. M. Brookins. Last Saturday Mrs. Walker fell and sprained an ankle. We hope she will soon be able to be out again. Services at the Baptist church last Sunday were as follows: Morning, subject, "A Sure Foundation, Heb. 6:8; evening, subject, "Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits, Matt. 3:8. Brother Russel will officiate. both sermons were delivered to an attentive congregation. We feel sure our beloved brother has not mistaken his calling, for in his sermons he makes us feel and to know he understands thoroughly that about which he is speaking. Another fact we wish to mention is his illustrations are not of the "warmed over" variety—they are original. He is the right man in the right place. The church is improving under his leadership. Mr. W. Adams is somewhat indisposed with an attack of la gripe. MRS. J. C. CLARK. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Pages Two, Four, and Five Y. M. C. A. Those who failed to attend the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday at Zion Baptist church missed a great meeting, as well as the opportunity to meet young men who are striving to make the Young Men's Christian Association a great and noble factor in the lives of our young men of Denver. The interest of the Y. M. C. A. work is growing. Men are opening their eyes to facts of the necessity of making it possible for meeting the needs of our young men. Don't fail to be to these Sunday afternoon men's meetings. All are welcome. We meet at Shorter Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 sharp. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, Brother Gus Thomas, formerly superintendent of the Central Baptist Sunday school, and Whereas, He was a good and faithful worker in his duties in trying to build up the Sunday school, a zealous worker, a hard student, a great lover of humanity, and discontinued his services with us to our regret to enter the gospel ministry. The sad intelligence came to us that it pleased our Heavenly Parent to remove from our side the companionship of our beloved brother, therefore be it Resolved, First, That we the S. S. C. B. C. deplore the sudden taking away of our brother; second. Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in this hour of affliction; third. That we all bow ourselves in humble submission to the unerring Providence of Him who is too wise to make a mistake and too good to do wrong; fourth. Resolved. That while we deplore the taking away of our brother that our loss is Heaven's gain; fifth, be it Resolved. That we will ever cherish a fond memory in our hearts of our departed friend and brother.

Dear Brethren: Pursuant to a conference of some of the ministers of the city with regards to the Afro-American Ministerial Association of the city of Denver, a summons is hereby issued to all members of the above society and all other accredited ministers of the gospel now in the city to attend a "Getting-to-Gether" convention next Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock in the pastor's study of The People's Presbyterian church. J. A. THOS-HAZELL. President. LEAVES THE CITY. Madam Hunter, who opened the beauty parlors at Five Points and has been conducting them for several months, left the city yesterday for her former home, Los Angeles. While here she showed herself an enterprising business woman, with confidence in her ability to succeed and confident of the patronage of the public when rightly served. She made many friends who are glad that her health is improved though sorry to lose her. Mrs. DeShatto will continue the business beginning at once. BRADSHAW AND BRUCE WILL ENTERTAIN AT WEST BROTHERS SUNDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4. MUSIC AT WEST BROTHERS FRIDAY EVENING OF EACH WEEK. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five ANNOUNCEMENT. The Alliance wishes to put emphasis upon the announcement that on Feb. 4th will occur a joint debate which carries much weight and is of importance to the people of this community and the whole race. The debaters are both speaking from conviction and upon a subject which they believe of vital importance: Resolved, "That the lack of political liberty is a more fundamental evil than industrial inefficiency of our economic needs." Affirmative, C. W. Buford; negative, C. A. Franklin. The subject matter is certainly timely and vital, the speakers are both of them well known in the community for public activity and platform ability. Each in his own way commands attention and each usually gets a hearing and convinces someone of the righteousness of their pleadings. What they will have to say will be worth your while. Each speaker will be allowed thirty minutes in which to present his side, divided as they may mutually agree, and when it is over—well, come and hear and see for yourself. GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THE WEST- MINSTER GUILD OF THE PEOP- LE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. To the astonishment of the audience last Tuesday night in the chapel of the Presbyterian church was a program rendered. The occasion was "A Haphazard Leap Year Festival." Everything about it was "Haphazard." The attendance was "haphazard," on account of its unusual large size for a church festival. The participants were "haphazard," since they were unknown to the public until they appeared. The renditions by Mesdames Lily Pinn, Lillian Jones, Maude Kerr, Barracks, Stella Maddox; Misses Susie Hall, Cleo Hobson, Lottie Coleman-Ballard. The DeNeals and Master Atwel Rose were "haphazard" in as much as they outshine anything of its kind ever given in the past by the guild of its kind. The orchestra of which the Misses DeNeals are the responsible parties, and composed of some fine looking gentlemen, whose names "haphazardly" are unobtainable as we go to press, was a "haphazard affair" for the music was "classy" as only a "haphazard" orchestra could provide. The menu was "haphazard," the items being varied, cheap, yet fine. The beginning of the program and ending of the same including the serving of the refreshments was "haphazard" for the whole business was concluded a little after 10 o'clock. The president, Mrs. Laura Hill, with her uniring corps of workers must be congratulated for their haphazard Leap Year Festival. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. On Sunday, Feb. 4th, at 11 o'clock, Holy Communion will be celebrated and the sermon preached by the Rev. H. B. Brown, B. A., Cam., Eng., who is coming by appointment of the bishop to take charge of the pastoral work of the Church of the Redeemer. Father Brown has been highly successful in his previous charges, and is in every way well qualified to carry forward the work committed to his care. The bishop earnestly desires that the members and friends of the mission will rally to Father Brown's support and justify the confidence which he has always felt in their loyalty and enthusiasm. Evensong at 7:45 p. m., at which service Father Brown will again preach. --- Mrs. M. C. Lawton Tells How It Is Being Carried On. GROUPS OF CAPABLE WOMEN. Organization Which Started Two Years Ago With Six Members Has Steadily Grown In Membership and Usefulness—Army of Honest Teilers For Material Betterment. By Mrs. M. C. LAWTON. Brooklyn.—The colored race, like all others, has race workers and race talkers, but in Greater New York there is a splendid force of women who are not only talking, but doing. They feel that in a measure they are their sisters' keepers; that they themselves may be instrumental in removing many of the proscriptions in evidence against them. They realize first, that in union there is strength; secondly, that the glitter and gleam of society, fine clothes, sumptuous tables and social functions are but fleeting joys and that an entire life thus spent is but a tale that is told. They further realize that the race They further require cannot rise in sections, but must rise as a whole; that inevitable doom and destruction await them unless they constitute themselves intemoral, mental and intellectual derricks for the uplift of womanhood. The arms of these women form the sides cannot rise in sections, but must rise as a whole; that inevitable doom and destruction await them unless they constitute themselves intemoral, mental and intellectual dericks for the uplift of womanhood. The arms of these women form the sides of a racial ladder, while their hands clasped in friendship and love constitute the rounds. For the first time in the history of Brooklyn what is called the "colored section" can boast of a well organized neighborhood club, a club composed of honest, hardworking women, women whose hearts are as true as steel and whose sense of honor and integrity far transcends that of some women who live in a higher atmosphere and who would scorn being classified among the mediocre women. This organization, which had its origin with about six women two years ago, now numbers between fifty and seventy-five substantial members. Not only are they interested in everything that pertains to their own improvement and development, but are eager to become factors in the uplift of those less fortunate in life. Besides contributing to the maintenance of the Settlement House in this city, they have cheerfully assumed their quota of financial responsibility for the support of Harriett Tubman. They are learning that well kept homes, and neat and tidy personal appearance, together with refined, cultured department, are an index to worth and character. They have learned that there is a vast difference between poverty and immorality; that the one may exist absolutely without disgrace and dishonor, while the other cannot. Mrs. E. L. Young has been working not only constantly, but effectively, for the past three years among delinquent girls. In Manhattan Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose Home For Working Girls; Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, president of the Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. George Haynes, Mrs. J. Wesley Johnson of St. Cyprian's P. E. church, Mrs. Umsette Gregory of St John's Home, Mrs. James L. Curtis, Mrs. S. W. Layton, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier, Miss Grace Campbell, Mrs. M Girls; Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, president of the Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. George Haynes, Mrs. J. Wesley Johnson of St. Cyprian's P. E. church, Mrs. Musette Gregory of St. John's Home, Mrs James L. Curtis, Mrs. S. W. Layton, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier, Miss Grace Campbell, Mrs. M. J. Stuart, Mrs. G. M. De Baptist Faulkner and Miss Edith Leonard have done yeoman service for the betterment of conditions among women. In Brooklyn Mrs. Addie W. Hunton. Dr. V. Morton Jones, Mrs. Alice Wiley- Seay, Mrs. Albert S. Reed, Mrs. N. B. Dodson and others have given unstintingly of their time, energy and ability for the uplift of the race generally and women particularly. Their latest move is an organization known as the Conference of Workers Among Girls. This club meets the fourth Tuesday in each month. Mrs. M. C. Lawton is chairman of the Conference of Workers Among Girls and president of the Lincoln Neighborhood club. Savannah In Need of Leadership. Once again the call comes from Georgia via Savannah for leadership among the Afro-Americans in that particular city. It is said that at least two well known men of the race in Savannah are eligible, either of whom would be acceptable to the colored citizens, but they are either too bashful or not interested in the race enough to undertake the task. Now, who said the race had too many leaders? Hampton Institute Helps Farmers. The term for the short course in agriculture at the Hampton (Va.) institute began on Wednesday, Jan. 3, to hold for four weeks. The course is offered to meet the needs of farmers. WHAT THE NEGRO PROBLEM IS NOT Subject Considered From an Impersonal Point of View. FACTS ABOUT ILLITERACY. Professor R. R. Wright In Sociological Treatment of the Great Question Says It Is Not a Negro Problem if the Maladjustment Is Not Common to the Whole Group. Philadelphia. - Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., has recently issued in book form extracts from his two lectures on the sociological attitude in the study of Negro problems, which he prepared for and delivered to the social study class at the university of Pennsylvania. The first part tells of the attitude which social students ought to have in the study of race problems and the difficulties involved. The second part consists of an analysis of the Negro problem. The lectures attracted considerable attention, being regarded as among the most philosophic and logical ever delivered on the subject at any of the leading colleges. Under the caption the "Study of Race Problems" Professor Wright says: "In the study of the facts in human activity the very condition of scientific value must be the accuracy and impartiality of the observation of students. For accurate observation the student must be tolerant and open minded. He must be widely acquainted with the history and condition of peoples in different parts of the world in order to be entirely rid of national, sectional, racial, religious and political bias. "In spite of his race, religion and early education, he ought to be able to look at the facts of society entirely from an impersonal point of view. This is especially necessary in the study of nationalities and races different from our own. We are very liable to underrate these peoples—to consider their mental and physical differences and mental and physical inferiorities; to call their religion heathen; to look upon their racial tendencies as downward if they are not as ours. This will give us a provincial philosophy, but nothing of real scientific value. "In what consists the particular and peculiar Negro race problem of which we hear so much? A social problem may be said to exist with reference to any particular group when there is in any way maladjustment of that group with respect to its environment. Then the Negro problem must be a social problem of maladjustment between the Negro group and its American environment. A social problem is a Negro problem in so far as the social maladjustment is, first, common to the great mass of the Negro group and, second, peculiar to it. It is not a Negro problem if the maladjustment is not common to the entire Negro group—that is, only Negroes suffer it. This we must get clearly in our minds if we are to understand the problem of the Negro. What the Negro Problem Is Not. "Much confusion already exists as to just what this maladjustment is, and to avoid further confusion careful analysis is necessary. The average person with whom I have come in contact identifies in some way the Negro problem with the problem of ignorance and vice, or with poverty and immorality, or with industrial inefficiency, unemployment or some other pathological social condition. One says if it were not for the ignorance of the Negro there would be no problem. But let us examine this and we will see that the Negro problem is not a problem of illiteracy or ignorance. In the first place, illiteracy is not common to the Negro race, for the majority of them can read and write. "In the second place, illiteracy is not peculiar to them as a race, for there are more white illiterates in this country than Negro illiterates. In 1900 the census gave 3,200,069 as the number of white illiterates and 2,853,194 as the number of Negro illiterates in the United States. There are, according to the same census, fourteen times as many white illiterates in the state of Pennsylvania as Negro illiterates. "By the same authority in proportion to population there is less illiteracy among the younger generation of Negroes living in the north than in the same class of whites living in the south. The throngs which come to our great cities have a great deal more ignorance among the foreign white element than among the Negroes. It is plain, therefore, that ignorance and illiteracy are not the Negro problem, although many Negroes as well as whites are involved in the general problem of ignorance, which has no color whatever." The New York Vigilance Committee. Disregard for the laws of the state which guarantee to all citizens equal rights and equal protection has given rise to a new organization in New York known as the New York vigilance committee, which is a branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. The committee will not take up cases involving claims for wages, damages for accidents or any other cases except those which involve an infringement of legal rights because of race or color.

If the progress of a race is to be in any wise judged by the capacity of its members to grasp intellectual knowledge, retain it and use it for the common welfare of the masses of its own people as well to benefit the public generally, then the following list of twenty eminent colored men (selected by the Negro Society For Historic Research, Yonkers, N. C.) have won their spurs as authors, scientists, philosophers, statesmen and warriors is a refutation of the charge made by some person that the colored race is incapable of higher culture. The list includes: Francis Williams, born 1700, poet, graduate University Cambridge. Anthony William Amo, doctor philosophy. University Wittenberg. 1720. Richard Allen, founder first Negro church in America. J. E. J. Capitain, Latin poet, linguist, University Leyden, 1720. Geoffrey L'islet, botanist, member French Academy Sciences, 1760. Prince Hall, founder Negro Massachusetts, Boston Crispus Attucks, patrol and soldier, 1773. Boston. Eustace, philanthropist, winner Monthyn prize of virtue, Santo Domingo. Benjamin Bannaker, astronomer, born 1732, Baltimore. Toussaint L'Overture, soldier and statesman, Dumas, novelist. Alexander Poushkin, poet, Russia's "black Byron." Frederick Douglass, orator, diplomat and statesman. Brindis de Sala, violinist, decorated by crowned heads of Europe (Cuban). Sir Conrad Reeves, chief justice of Barbados, Knights of St. Michael's and St. George, Barbados, British West Indies. Alexander Petion, civil engineer, Halft. Paul L. Dunbar, lyric poet. John B.

DEPARTURE OF REV. WILLIAMS. After a pastorate entering upon the fourth year, Rev. W. C. Williams of Campbell A. M. E. church, left the city this week for Kansas City where he has been assigned by Bishop Parks to take charge of Ebenezer church. ‘This charge is a large one, and one which has both material opportuni- ties and a sentimental interest for Rey. Williams since it was in it that he was married, converted and in which he served as Sunday school su- perintendent before he entered the ministry. The news that he was leaving the city while forecasted in the States- man several weeks ago was officially announced only last Sunday and created a profound regret in the minds of his congregation and the friends he has made since coming here. Both for his personality and for the work he has done, his leaving is regretted. Up to the time that he took Campbell church in charge, it had a limited congregation which had its hands full maintaining itself. With his pastorate, it began to grow and became strong financially so that it has gone on with improvements at a rate unforseen and greater than its best wishers would have imagined possible. It has been redecorated in- side and out, new stained glass win- dows of Biblical design put in, ce- ment walks laid, property fenced in with iron fencing, carpeted, choir loft built, and in fact, every detail that could lend to the beauty or dignity of tue church looked after with consum- ate skill, Praise in words is easily bestowed, but words are empty in praise of the pastorate of Rev. Wil- liams when compared with the reju- venated and glorified church which he leaves. He carries with him to Kansas City the best wishes of Den- ver. Mrs. William and the boys will remain in Denver a few months until school is over. ‘The successor iS nat yet named, and further than an intimation that it will be a man from outside the Colo- rado Conference, nothing can be said.

The cause of his death is not given. ‘The German American Indemnity Company is depending upon its meth- ods to recommend it. Prompt pay- ment of claims is its first principle. ‘This week it has paid among others the following persons: Dora Young of 1820 24th street, J. W.

There are about six quarter sec- tions for homesteads in the Dearfield Settlement which is located in one of the best farming districts in Colorado, It is only about sixty miles from Den- ver on an air line, and seventy-one miles by rail. All conditions are fa- yorable to good crops for the dry farmer this year. If any one desires to acquire a homestead in this com- munity, I will point him to a location free of charge. My only interest is that I would like to see this fine land im the hands of some of our worthy people. There are now twenty-one families located in the settlement. The total cost of filing on a home- stead is as follows: R, R, fare to see the ground....$ 4.00 Livery hire to drive out to locate 2.00 bunch iseomepasccnesese cess) 160 Making out papers ............ 1.50 Filing with land office......... 16.00 Total weswacetreereraes+ 724.4240 If you have some one locate you, there will be an additional cost_of $30.00—$25.00 for locating and $5.00 for the locater’s expenses.

Success of the Houston Literary and Industrial College Under the Leadership of Professor F. W. Gross, Who Believes In Efficiency Rather Than In Large Numbers. Houston, Tex.-To build up a great school of agriculture and mechanic arts as well as great in literary training is the dream of Professor F. W. Gross, principal of the Houston Literary and Normal school of this place. It is Professor Gross' desire to build up a school great in effectiveness and accomplishment rather than great in size and the number of students. That he is well on the way to attaining his desire, in so far as the Houston Literary and Industrial school is concerned, is attested by the great success of the institution within the four years that he has been at its head. It is located in a section rich in possibilities. The fame of Houston is as well earned as it is well known. The possibilities for the future are greater than that of any other southern city save New Orleans. With the completion and extension of the north and south trunk lines running through Houston from the lakes to the gulf and the completion of the Panama canal, Houston's present greatness will be only a scrap of history to be compared with the rapid strides and tremendous importance of the Texas metropolis. Professor Gross is simply taking time by the forelock in maintaining that the colored people should be prepared to accept and appreciate all the good things that will come to them as a pretty big portion of the population of that rich section. To understand thoroughly all that comes to them for these reasons it is the purpose of Mr. Gross to train a small number of young men and women of that section to know and to do, and who is there that will find fault with this plan? Outlining his own plan. Professor Gross declares it his intention to have only a school in the future that can well accommodate 200 or 300 students at the time, but to do such good with them and for them that they will come out well prepared as teachers and artisans. He points out the innumerable opportunities in Texas and in the vicinity of Houston, where intensive farming on a small scale, where the raising of chickens, the care of pigs, the culture of bees and of flowers will reap rich rewards for the young man or woman who can take up either of these callings with an eye single to catering to that immense and cosmopolitan population. A visit to Mr. Gross' work in Houston situated just beyond the city limits, strikes the observant at once with the wealth of opportunity that is before him and of the bright future that awaits his institution. Its growth in the four years of his administration bespeaks a more brilliant future, and so well has the institution grown that now he can well afford to pay more attention to the matter of efficiency than beforefore. From three small buildings to six of various sizes, with a well equipped trades building and an academic building well suited to the needs of the institution, the Houston Literary and Industrial college can very well take care of the number of students for which it bids and to which number it is satisfied in catering. The principal has selected his faculty with more than ordinary care and is to be congratulated on the amount of work he is able to get out of his teachers. Himself the possessor of a well earned reputation as an educator and a man of large ambition, he has in Texas a large number of supporters and is regarded by the colored people of the commonwealth as a man of more than the usual requisites of leadership. He makes annual visits to a large number of institutions doing the same kind of work, particularly the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, and incorporates many of the ideas gained during these visits in his own work in Texas. All things being equal, the Houston Literary and Industrial college will in the years to come exert even a greater influence upon the people of the state, due in a large measure to the farsightedness and unusual common sense exhibited by its principal. CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM. Governor Donaghey of Arkansas Would Athelish Barbargous Custom. Abertain Barbarous Custom The state of Arkansas is indeed fortunate in having at its head a governor whose convictions and courage are such that he will not tolerate inhuman treatment to the convicts of his state, says the New Citizen, Yonkers, N. Y. It is indeed refreshing to find a real man in authority who does not hesitate to condemn nor threaten to destroy a system that is both miserly and barbarous. The convict lease system is one of the curses of the south. If the people of Arkansas are wise they will abandon this savage custom.

MANAGER Denver, Colo. THE STATESMAN—6 OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN TRADE New Opening Afforded Through New York Barber School. OPERATES ON LARGE SCALE. Organized Two Years Ago For the Purpose of Training Men For Higher Efficiency In Business—The Institution Has Steadily Grown In Usefulness and Influence. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—Situated in the heart of one of the busy sections of the city, at 2 Irvington street, is the New York Barber school, which has for its object the training of men for the barbers' trade. It was started two years ago and has had a steady growth. During this short period it has trained upward of 300 students, who have entered the business either as proprietors or as employees. The school term is six weeks. The course of study embraces every phase of the trade. Particular attention is given to honing and strapping of razors, the different styles of hair cutting in relation to facial appearance, beard trimming, singelag, massage and scalp treatment. Regular examinations are held for students who finish the prescribed course. Those who pass satisfactory examinations are given diplomas. The roster of the school includes the names of men from almost all sections of the country. They are generally ambitious and anxious to prepare themselves thoroughly for the trade which they are to follow. Both white and colored men pursue the same studies. Regret has been expressed that a larger number of colored men do not take advantage of the excellent opportunities open to them through this school to better their condition along business lines. J. B. Wise, who is a member of the faculty of the school, is one of the THE FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD TO HAVE A MAN IN A WOODEN CASE most prominent young colored men in New York, which is his native home. He is a product of the public schools of the city. As a tonsorial artist Mr. Wise long ago hung his hat on a peg at the head of the profession. He wants men of the race to enroll in large numbers this winter, as the field for trained barbers becomes more inviting year by year. Mr. R. D. Costello, a native of Iowa, but who chose New York as a residence many years ago, is a man of broad ideas in his work as a member of the faculty of the school. He harbors no prejudice or ill will toward the colored men of the school. He has taught the trade in many of the barber schools of the country with marked success. The students are given plenty of practice work in the department of the school which is maintained for that purpose. In the actual work which leads to graduation the student is assigned to the last chair and is promoted step by step as he shows skill and competency until he reaches the first chair in line. He is then put in the pay department, where he is allowed half of the proceeds from his work. Many students earn good salaries in this department, which helps much toward their tuition and also aids them after graduation while selecting a place of employment or starting business for themselves as the case may be. As a man of experience in the business the secretary-treasurer of the school ranks among the most progressive young colored men in New York. Messrs. Costello and Wise have entire supervision of the course of instruction, and when a man leaves the school with a diploma given over their signatures, unless he is willfully negligent, he will have no trouble in finding employment or in starting a business of his own. Good Work of Women's Clubs in Texas. The Mothers' club of San Antonio, Tex., conducts a kindergarten in connection with its regular work. The Charity club in Houston is interested in the Working Girls' home, and the Nurses' club in the same town sustains a nursery for the care of children whose mothers have to work out by the day. These organizations have come about largely through the influence of the State Federation of Women's Clubs.

The champion, Jack Johnson, is certainly making things hum in and around the big eastern cities, that is, by his big loud business talk, all of which may be very good. Jack is a little smarter than people give him credit for being, and there are a whole lot of things said by him that have plenty of meaning, but the public just fails to grasp the ideas. Jack is one of the smartest prize fighters the world has ever known. He knows just how to get plenty of free advertising and notoriety. A few days ago he made the statement that he would pay Al Palzer $2,000 for every round he stayed with him after the third. Can you beat that for getting into the mouths of the people, and I haven't the slightest doubt but what Jack could beat this Palzer in two or three rounds, which would make the world stop and wonder at Jack. Mr. Mack Smart, the little man who has become so popular in this city in the last year, will be the general manager of the big Rockies Ball. He will endeavor to produce same great features in the way of novelty arts, and everybody in Denver should be in attendance to witness the most spectacular ball ever given in this city. I was up to the Eureka hall the other day and it can't be beat; the floor is the best in the city with all its springs, and the hall has the best of accommodations, so don't miss the Big Rockies Second Annual Dancing Party. LOTTIE GRADY Miss Lottie Grady, the clever little singing and dancing comedienne, it is reported, will leave Chicago this spring to erect a play house in Baltimore where she will then reside. AIDA WALKER'S SINGING GIRLS. One of the biggest vaudeville hits in New York City is that of the Aida Overton Walker's Singing Girls. The act is said to be without a doubt the classiest colored act ever produced in vaudeville, and much credit is due Mrs. Walker, as she designed all of the dances, and helped to compose two of her leading songs. The act will play New York for a run of six months at a salary of $1,000 per week. The costumes for her company are said to have cost $6,000, which makes it the most costly Negro company in vaudeville. FRANK MONTGOMERY & CO. What is said to be the second George Walker in way of classy straights, Mr. Frank Montgomery, the clever comedian who was such a hit in the East last season, is said to be as clever and as fantastic as Walker and even makes as good an appearance. And his company is said to be one of the best colored companies on the road. Mr. Harold Franklin, a young colored boy of Denver, who lately joined the 25th Infantry at Seattle, has already done much in the way of outdoor sports. In a contest among the best athletes of his post a few days ago he was awarded a medal for being the best sprinter and hurdler of the entire regiment. Young Franklin states that he is going in for everything in the way of out-door sports, and that by the time he comes out he will be an all around field athlete as well as indoors. OLIVER, THE COLORED AUTOIST. One of our prominent young men of the city, who is making quite a success in his auto service, is that of Oliver, just Oliver. His machine is one of the latest and his service is the best, and cheapest, so why not help this boy along. He is thankful for all work received. Call main 2275. MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CLUB.
