On Friday evening, June 14th, a ball was given at Eagles' hall. Everyone present had an enjoyable time from the opening until the closing. There was an immense crowd in attendance.
Little Dorothy Flippin, who is attending school at Tacoma, Washington, has successfully passed the seventh and eighth grades in one year. She now, at the age of 12, enters the Tacoma high school. This unusually bright little girl is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Flippin.
The Coleridge Taylor Musical club met last week at the residence of Mrs. M. H. Hamler.
Stewardess Board No. 1 gave a palatable chicken supper Friday evening at Allen A. M. E. church that was a success in every way. The supper commenced at 5:30.
Little Nettie Munsey, after having been very sick with a serious case of pneumonia, is now very much improved.
Rev. Taylor preached at Calvary Baptist church Sunday. He seemed to have left a very pleasing impression upon his congregation.
Chaplain Stain preached a heart-rending sermon at the A. M. E. church Sunday morning. The chaplain is not a sensational preacher, but he seems to be so earnest in his sermons that almost any sinner's soul is likely to become softened if in the presence of the major while he is delivering the holy word.
Rev. McGinnis filled the same pulpit in the evening. Here is a man who, it is believed, could certainly help the Christian cause if assigned to his proper place. He is well liked and always preaches a pleasing sermon. He has an easy way of making people feel what he means.
Mr. F. W. Burnside received the sad news that his brother in Baltimore, Md., had passed away. The many friends of Mr. Burnside extend to him their heartfelt sympathy. Rev. Henry Mitchell and wife have gone to Los Angeles, Calif. His numerous friends regret to see him leave and hope that he will not remain long. As a religious worker he was esteemed as one of the city's greatest assets. In his songs they say that he is simply a heart bender. What are the Cheyenne Giants doing these days? Some of the troop teams at the fort would like to get a match with them.
DOINGS OF THE "FIGHTING K."
In 1890 this troop displayed such heroism and bravery in the great Sioux campaign that it became known thereafter as the "Fighting K." In token of this great gallantry, in 1891 the organization was sent to Washington, D. C., so that the world could look upon it and comment upon its admirable record. The outfit arrived there on the 25th of May, '91, and remained until the 2nd of June, '94. First Sergt. Thomas Shelton and Corp. Dewey Davis are the only members of the present troop that were in it during the great hot time, all others of the old guard having either gone to other outfits, retired or passed from the stage of action.
Aside from its great reputation as Indian fighters, the organization has the name of being one of the best feeding troop in the army. Sergt Griffin is in charge of the mess, and he puts all his time in looking after it. He even milks the several cows that the troop has.
Private Colton, the troop's champion pool player, will roll anybody in the regiment a hundred points for the only
That fellow Bell is the champion scratch pool player—and he is some canner, too. Corp. Ephram Colton, Clark and Henderson make up the pool team, Sergt. McCathy being substitute.
Reed is champion checker player and will accept a challenge from anybody.
The gentlemen who compose the baseball aggregation are: Bryant,
catcher; Pollinger, pitcher; Yunker first base; Colley, short stop; Clark, third base; Colton, left field; Brown, center field; Johnson, right field; Henderson, second base; Carter, substitute; Harold, umpire, and Elves Reed, manager. As the team has had only a minimum amount of practice, it will be about three weeks before it is open to accept a challenge.
Sergt. Hicks, who was discharged last week, is going to re-enlist for Troop I and take a furlough to visit relatives and friends in Balticore, Md.
Said Private Sims of the troop: "I am weared now, but I will not be so long."
Horseshoer Dickerson is comedian and champion buck and wing dancer of the outfit. He is making a great hit with all the latest songs. The comedian will appear at Eagles' hall on July 4th. 'Everybody is invited to come down and hear him.
Sergt. Hill can seldom be found around quarters since he got married. The stable sergeant is always around early in the morning with his hands rammed down into his pockets up to his elbows.
Private Peters is some laboratory man, too.
Farrier Alexander is the lonesomest fellow you ever saw without his bottle.
The troop wishes someone to give it a remedy that will wake up Early, the famous stable orderly, and stop him from walking on his heels.
Every time anyone asks Wagoner Covington a question he always answers that he is a "chino."
Ladies of the city desire to know where Private Willie Colton goes after pay day that they do not see him for so long.
Saturday evening Troop E gave a ball in honor of Sergt. Craig, who has just gone into retirement. It was one of the most successful entertainments that has ever been held in the post. The absence of rowdyism and drunkenness made it more like the great balls given in the East by the secret orders than any other social gathering the writer has ever seen.
The leading feature of the ball was a speech by Chaplain Geo. W. Prioleau commenting favorably upon the record of Sergt. Craig. The chaplain also extolled Sergt. Hipahire's determination in trying so faithfully to secure an education after entering the army. After telling what a struggle Sergt. Hipshire had undergone, he spoke of the unparalleled example set by Post Quartermaster Sergt. Thomas in securing an appointment to the staff at such an early age.
Delicious refreshments were served. Places were set for 100 at a time. The ampleness of the supper was shown by the great amount left to be cleared away from the tables after each hundred had finished. Its deliciousness can better be explained by noting the time that all sat at the tables. This was about an hour for each hundred. Friday the Ninth Cavalry baseball team returned from Fort Robinson, where it had played a series of games with the Twelfth Cavalry bunch. The home boys were beaten two out of three over in Nebraska, but they got even last Sunday with the Twelfth aggregation by walloping the visitors to the tune of 6 to 2. The Ninth Cavalry is fortunate in having secured about 50 of the most intelligent recruits that the regiment has ever had before.
Monday evening Chaplain Prioleau held a successful moving picture show in the barracks of Troop A. The chaplain will use the proceeds from the show to purchase a graphophone for field amusement.
When the regiment was in Texas the Y. E. C. A. furnished checkers, checker boards, chairs, writing material, reading tables, graphophone, ice water and other things to make camp life pleasant for the regiment, but it will not have bd to do so. Chaplain Prioleau has raised money to purchase them so that the regiment can have them to keep it company whenever it takes the field.

Disfranchisement is Bringing forth its Legitimate Fruit of Injustice and National Shame
The thorough-going hypocrisy which enables the white press to clamor for popular rule as advocated by Roosevelt, and in the same breath to condemn the power of colored delegates in the Republican national convention, finds a counterpart only in the ante-bellium sanctity of Christian people who talked Christianity and at the same time denied the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" by holding slaves. Much is said of the injustice of a Negro delegate representing no voters having as much power as a white northern delegate who represents 100,000 voters. Comparisons are made between such Negro supporters of Taft and the Roosevelt delegates who have been chosen by direct primaries.
If it is a crime for Negroes to participate in Republican national conventions, with their numbers based upon the Congressional representation of their states, with their election coming under the letter and spirit of the rules laid down by the national committee, what shall be said of the Congressional representation which the southern states have, who are holding office in violation of the letter of the federal constitution? The Democratic press and the Roosevelt press and people have participated in and acquiesced in the theft of the franchise from black men, and have never discovered it a crime against good government, until now when the unusual power the South wields in proportion to its enfranchised voting strength, is turned against them.
If it is right that only a part of the people shall vote in the South, the whole principle of popular government is wrong!
Brazen hypocrisy alone can enable a man or a party to condemn the legitimate outgrowth of a system which it itself has instituted and profited by. We too say, "let the people rule." But it is an outrage upon justice and truth to make much ado over the power of 66 colored delegates to the national Republican convention from southern states, and at the same time find in southern disfranchisement the ideal system for perpetuating the Godgiven dominance of one race over another. If it is fair that the southern Congressmen have power out of proportion to northern Congressmen, then it is also fair that the Negro delegate to the Republican national convention be equally fortunate.
The State Federation
By Correspondent
About 26 women from Denver attended the ninth annual convention of colored Women's clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction. Mrs. Bodenheimer, Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Elgin of the XX C. A. C.; Mrs. Jackson, Miss Howard, Mrs. Dishman and Mrs. Grey of Self Improvement and Social; Mrs. Hubbard, Miss Wilson and Miss Cole of Life Line; Mrs. Burnett and Mrs. Hardy of Carnation Art; Mrs. Mackey, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Lyons of Sunshine; Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Ross of Taka; Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Franklin and Miss Gwinn of Pond Lily; Mrs. Hill, City Federation; Mrs. Goens, chairman of executive board; Mrs. Cassells, state treasurer, and Mrs. Gertrude Ross, state historian.
The session which closed June 14 was not a most brilliant affair. The programs were carried out and they compare favorably with the programs of other years, but one could not say they show a marked distinction.
The idea of the Federation, we take it, is to uplift the women of this section. Its departments look into their special line and the reports in almost every instance were satisfactory to the assemblage.
The welcome accorded the ladies was hearty, and the visitors appreciative. Much credit is due the president of the Pueblo City Federation, Mrs. J. B. Holmes, and her assistants.
Each club responded to the financial portion, which is one of the most important if not the most important feature of any convention. This shows a marked gain over last year's amount.
Mrs. E. B. Butler, the president of the organization, presided at most of the sessions. Mrs. Butler is a woman both educated and refined, and as such filled her position gracefully. Her address was the principal feature of the convention. It shone with enviable lustre.
All committees, officers and special appointees did the duty assigned to them to the best of their ability. The business may not have been thoroughly businesslike, mistakes might have been made, but next year each woman will see to it that she has profited by her mistakes.
Mrs. Mackey and Mrs. Laura Hill of Denver and Mrs. J. B. Holmes of Pueblo were elected as delegates to the National Federation, which meets at Hampton, Va., in July.( Mrs. Butler will go by virtue of her office.
The convention meets next June in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The Carnation Art club of this city
received first prize for its display of

U. Bray, secretary, Pueblo, Colo., not later than June 2b, 1912. We would urge organization of clubs in every locality, even should there be no more than five Negroes residing there.

SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES.
Sunday the new district superintendent, Rev. Dudley Smith, preached three soul-stirring sermons. In spite of the inclement weather the full claim was raised. Rev. Smith complimented the pastor and officials for the work done during the three months. He was very much pleased with the reports coming from all departments. He left for Colorado Springs Tuesday.
On Monday evening a reception was given to the district superintendent by the stewards. Each department was represented very ably by the following speakers: Prof. L. H Lightner, Rev. J. D. Rice, John F. Thomas, Mrs. Anna McPherson, Mrs. Ada Castry, Mrs. Florstein Dooley, Geo. B. Pash, Miss Lela Rice, Mrs. Claudie Pash, Mrs. Anna Rice, F. D. McPherson. The district superintendent responded in a happy vein. There was much enthusiasm generated by this splendid social function.
Friends of the Rev. J. D. Rice are cordially invited to hear him deliver his graduating sermon Sunday evening. Rev. Rice is very popular in this city among the churches because of his broad minded spirit. The choir will sing special music for the occasion.
We begin a new quarter with our sails filled with the breeze of prosperity. We call upon the faithful and tried to still be loyal to their church. Our reports must exceed the first quarter's reports. The district superintendent said that from all indications this will be the greatest year in the short history of the church.
The following have cast their lot with us: Wm. Murdock, Hot Springs, Ark., Miss Hattie Richardson, Shreveport, La.; Mrs. Amanda Bell, Covington Tenn.
The choir was entertained Friday evening by its newly elected president, Mrs. Mary L. Hicks, who has served very faithfully for one year. The following are her co-workers: Miss Alberta Middlebrooks, secretary; Chas. L. Smith, treasurer; Cornelius Rice, librarian. Words of praise were spoken concerning their singing Sunday. The junior choir under the leadership of Mrs. Dooley and Miss Rice, is singing better than ever. Miss Rice has held the position of organist for the past four years.

CAMPBELL CHAPEL
The Rocky Mountain District Conference and Sunday school convention, embracing Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, will be held next week, June 25-27, at Campbell A. M. E. church, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder. A splendid program has been arranged, and doubtless the sessions will be largely attended. The promoters of this gathering are sparing no pains to make this one of the best sessions in the history of the district.
A reception attended by more than the usual ostentation, was given last week by the congregation of Campbell in honor of the pastor and his family, Rev. and Mrs. Pope and daughter. The auditorium, which had been beautifully decorated, was comfortably filled and a spicy program was rendered. On the program were the names of Revs. J. C. C. Owens, A. M. Ward, J. N. Wallace, A. E. Reynolds, Wallace, R. L. Pope. Mrs. Lillian Jones sang a beautiful solo and the Queen City chorus, under the direction of Prof. Watson, rendered several choice selections.

President James A. Bray Removed by Bishop Stewart. ALLEGED CAUSE OF CHANGE.
Well Known Educator, Who Made Big Birmingham School Great Seat of Learning, Succeeded by Mr. C. A. Bell—Business Methods Not So Pleasing to Presiding Bishop.
Birmingham, Ala. — Bishop C. W. Stewart has removed James A. Bray from the presidency of Miles Memorial college. Bishop Stewart is the treasurer of the institution, and as such President Bray requested that he should account for the money raised for the work of the school.
This seemed to displease the bishop and is the cause, so it is alleged, of his removing Dr. Bray from the head of the college. The action took place at a recent meeting of the executive board. Professor Bray is one of the best known educators of the race in this section of the south. C. A. Bell is his successor.
Miles Memorial college is maintained by the Alabama conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church and has been brought up by Dr. Bray to a commanding position as an educational institution. It is one of the best known of the denominational schools in the south and is supported largely by members of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church.
Much indignation is felt and expressed throughout the state and particularly in the Birmingham district over the removal of Dr. Bray. He is highly respected and of much influence in the community. Many people feel that in this particular period of the school's history the effort should have been made to retain at the head of the school a man of known ability and experience, who could continue
THE
MUSIC
MAN
PROFESSOR JAMES A. BRAY. the influential and constructive policy that has characterized Dr. Bray's administration. It is also charged that Bishop Stewart used the power of his office to remove Dr. Bray, forcing his self appointed and packed board of trustees to do his bidding. Practically all of the men are presiding elders whom he has appointed to office. To make assurance doubly sure two board members who were said to favor Dr. Bray's retention were transferred to other conferences in the midst of the conference year and their positions on the board of trustees declared vacant.
The commencement marked the close of a most successful year, twenty-five young people finishing from the various departments. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. J. A. Whitted, pastor of the First Baptist church, Birmingham, and the annual address was delivered by Dr. J. D. Simpson, president of Birmingham college, a local institution maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
In a statement which he has made public Dr. Bray declares that Bishop Stewart took offense because he insisted on an accounting of money used in the erection of the new dormitory now in course of erection, suggesting that, inasmuch as the general education board had given $5,000 of the amount and that a goodly portion of it had been secured from the white and colored business men of the community, it would be well to make a report that would show the disposition of the funds. This position, Dr. Bray declares, was made rather emphatic by reason of a statement from Dr. Buttrick that further donations to this and other institutions of similar character would be predicated upon the disposition and handling of this particular donation.
"I have always tried to recognize my responsibility to the public as head of an institution," says Dr. Bray. "Many people contribute to the institution through my solicitation, and I have always made a faithful report of all monies passing through my hands. It was no more than meeting my responsibility squarely to insist that as long as I was president of the institution the treasurer should make faithful reports. The fact that he was a bishop made him none the less responsible as a treasurer."
WORK OF ZION CHURCH NOTED
Aftermath of Recent General Conference In Charlotte.
ON FIRM FINANCIAL BASIS.
Progress of the Denomination Shown
In Reports of the Field Workers at Home and In Foreign Lands—Bishop J. W. Hood's Long Record on the Bench.
By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN.
Charlotte, N. C.—The twenty-fourth quadrennial session of the A. M. E. Zion church conference recently held in this city for three weeks was in many respects the most notable in the history of the denomination. The sessions were all well attended and the public showed great interest in every phase of the work.
All departments of the church were gone over with care and were found to be on a solid basis, especially the financial department, which is said to be further in advance in actual achievements, according to receipts, than was expected by the general officials. While there were no new bishops elected at this session there were several changes made in the general officers' staff. The conference was attended of upward of 360 delegates, who came from every section of the country, as well as from Africa and the West Indies.
These delegates told of the progress the connection was making the world over. It was the first time in four years that an opportunity was afforded to see the great Zion church in a body and to study the personnel of the gathering. The conference made a great impression upon the white citizens of Charlotte, and at the close of the conference an editorial in the Evening Chronicle, a leading daily, spoke in glowing terms of the session.
When Bishop Hood called the conference to order on the opening day in Clinton chapel he stood in the same place as he did forty years ago when a young man, he was ordained bishop. Among the new changes are the election of the Hon. J. C. Dancy of Washington as secretary of the Church Extension society, Rev. G. W. Wood of the Missionary society, Rev. M. D. Lee general secretary and Rev. J. W. Kyles editor of the Quarterly Review.
Among the general officers re-elected were Dr. J. S. Jackson financial secretary, G. C. Clement editor of the Star of Zion, F. K. Bird manager publication house, S. G. Atkins secretary of education and Dr. W. H. Goler president of Livingstone college.
During the past four years the church has raised over a quarter of a million dollars. This was done independent of the amount raised for the 3,300 churches in the connection. The bishop's quadrennial address was especially interesting and called special attention to the splendid condition of the following departments: Educational department, which has under its control eleven institutions; the extension department, missionary department, Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, Varick Christian Endeavor union, the publication house, Star of Zion, Harriet Tubman home. Sunday school department, the Varick memorial temple and the brotherhood.
The great good that is being done in Africa by the Zion church was encouraging. Many prominent visitors, among whom were Dr. Booker T. Washington, addressed the conference during the session.
The prominent women of the church figured largely at the conference. Among those present were Mrs. Anna Blackwell, Mrs. K. P. Hood, Mrs. J. S. Jackson, Mrs. Lella Walters, Mrs. C. R. Harris, Mrs. George W. Clinton and Mrs. Mary Small.
THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Militant Race Journal Makes Strong Plea For Justice.
Ever since the Cuban government has been organized and since the United States troops were withdrawn there have been race difficulties. It will be remembered that Maceo and the blacks were some of the most active and resolute rebels against Spanish rule and the most effective allies of the United States in securing Cuban freedom, says the Denver Statesman.
However, when it came to the election of the officials American interests and race prejudice reduced the blacks to an inferior position. This they resented; hence the recent revolt. While we do not know the specific occasion of their rebellion nor the justice of their cause, we are human enough to be interested in them and to desire that they be given fair treatment.
It does not follow that they are wrong because they are black nor because they are in an inferior position. If American control of Cuba is to mean to the Cuban Negro what has happened to the American Negro in the south, it is no improvement of his condition that Spanish rule is gone. In neither case is he a citizen with opportunity to say what the law shall be or how it shall be enforced. The dark cloud of race hate is spreading and our hope is the good sense of the world will destroy it like it did slavery.

Blaine, Presidents Garfield, Hayes and Harrison and the late Carter Harrison. He at one time worked for Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. He became acquainted with many notabilities as messenger or usher for large conventions.

STUDENT RULE AT TUSKEGEE
Dignity of Labor and Military Discipline Prevail.
THE GREAT AIM OF THE SCHOOL
Inside View of the Government of the Student Body of an Institution In Which Work Is Never Prescribed as a Punishment For Disobedience. How the System Works.
The series of articles by Arthur M. Evans on the work of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute which appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald last spring were highly instructive. To persons who are interested in helping the school in a financial way the success of the institution is indeed gratifying. Industry, as every one knows, is the spirit of Tuskegee, and military discipline is its system of government. From the moment the rising whistle blows at 5 o'clock until the "lights go out" at night every moment of the time is occupied. Work is in the atmosphere; industry is made a habit—the great aim of the school.
At Tuskegee refractory students are punished, not by setting them at extra tasks, but by giving them no work to do. The great idea of the institute is to drill into the students the principle that labor is a privilege; hence work is never prescribed as a punishment, for that would be an inconsistency.
Enforced idleness / proves penalty enough, and after less than a day of lounging, a misfit in a busy community, a drone among the workers, the disobedient student generally goes to the commandant and begs to be put to work like the rest of his comrades.
The discipline is admirable. Ever since the opening of the school the students have been on a military system of some sort. The first day the student body assembled thirty years ago it marched to chapel, and it has been doing so ever since.
It is a sight never to be forgotten to see 1,700 students march into the great dining hall at noon, said to be the largest dining room in the country, and stand at attention until grace is sung.
Then the silence is broken, chairs are pulled out, and conversation starts up with such a roar that the band is kept playing in the balcony to drown the noise. There is nothing bolsterous, but 1,700 voices engaged in simultaneous talk make rather a cataract of sound.
Visitors rarely fail to comment upon the table manners of the students. At Tuskegee table manners are as much a part of the curriculum as is work in the shops or recitations in the classrooms. The man at the head of the table does the serving, assisted by a student on each side. The students are served, and the rule of the school is that each shall eat everything that is placed upon his plate without passing remarks upon the cooking, if, indeed, such remarks could be made. The food comes fresh from the institute farm, raised by the students, cooked by the students, served by the students and eaten by the students, and the variety of edibles placed on the table serves as another object lesson of the benefits derived from skillful labor on the soil.
The student who goes out from Tuskegee is so accustomed to an excellent table that, if a farmer, he at once prepares to raise all the vegetables in their season, his farm becomes an object lesson for the surrounding community and gradually leads to a higher standard of living.
Bishop Coppin Dedicates New Church.
The handsome new Ebenezer A. M.
E. church, located on Bethel street,
Hagerstown, Md., was recently dedicated with imposing services. The dedication sermon was preached by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia. The church is one of the handsomest in western Maryland, and its completion is a credit to the efforts of its pastor, Rev. David Johnson. The Rev.
Mr. Johnson is one of the most energetic of the younger ministers of the Baltimore conference. Through his efforts the conference will hold its next annual session in the above named church in Hagerstown.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE
PRES. OF THE LINCOLN-DOUG
LASS SANITORIUM AND HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION.
Mr. Cairman, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Association: We have come to the close of the second year of our organization. It has been an eventful year and upon the face of financial comparison with last year it has been a disastrous one. We closed our fiscal year in 1911 with a cash balance of about 75 dollars, we close it in 1912 with a debt of about 32 dollars, bearing interest at 2 per cent, per month. And to add to the dilemma, most of you who are hear tonight as officers are perhaps seeking to be released from y our official responsibilities, it bringing to you neither money nor honor. You have contributed, you are persuaded, more than your share of time and money to this unappreciated effort to serve humanity brings you. This feeling is natural under the conditions. But with it all, we ought to face the facts frankly, and weigh all of the conditions honestly and then decide what is our duty.
As president of the organization, I am willing to assume my responsibility for our failure. I will not seek to escape a single charge of incompetency that is founded upon good evidence. But in order that information may be given to those who have trusted us as officers and too, that no injustice may be done in our conclusions; let us look into the conditions under which we labored during the past year. At our last annual meeting while we had accumulated a small fund through various public and private efforts, the spirit of endeavor and sacrafice for a sanitarium where Negroes could be treated, had almost entirely gone out of the general public. Many persons who had been fired to undertake great things by the campaign o. the anti-tuberculosis association, had lost their enthusiasm and a reaction of almost obstinate indifference was rapidly setting in. The main result of the campaign was to make it harder for the afflicted ones to secure accommodations.
And not only did this condition prevail in the general public and the membership of this organization but on account of inability of the officers to secure proper place and equipment for a sanitarium they, the officers, seemed willing to give up the ghost. So while we had a little money, the conditions that we faced resolved itself into the questions of whether we should undertake something definite and if necessary go down in the struggle or whether we should die o inanition? I was one that cast my lot on the side of undertaking something definite, try honestly and to the best of our ability and if the worst came, we would at least have the consolation of having tried. We did try and our present condition is the result. An opportunity came and we tried and failed. The opportunity was that of a large well built, conveniently located house, fairly well equipped and with an experienced woman in charge. We were offered one-half interest in the equipment and the influence that the institution had already gained, for $500. The terms were $100 down and the balance on monthly payments of any amount that we could raise. We almost dictated our own terms and by gathering together what we could from all sources, collected about $85, and then to raise the balance and to meet our share or the rent, which also came due immediately, we borrowed $75. In all of this we had in mind that if we really secured a place the people would support and maintain it. But the time of our closing this otherwise excellent deal was inopportune. Just as we got the yoke of responsibility comfortably fixed upon our necks, we realized that a financial depression was upon us. Persons of means who had intimated that support would be forthcoming, pointedly refused to help us under the financial conditions and others whose hearts were with us on account of the financial stringency lost opportunity to earn sufficient to be able to give any substantial support. But be it said to great credit and courage of a few, that they bravely rallied to the cause in the face of almost certain defeat.
But to add to our chagrin, the first month the institution ran behind about $80 in current expenses. And with another $40 due from us as our share of another month's rent, all in addition to the $75 interest-bearing note, made it necessary for us to withdraw while we could without an actual disgrace. And ever since that time a few men and women of the board of directors have been paying interest on that note and assessing themselves to pay on the principal. They have reduced it to about $31. By their courage and sacrifice these officers have shunn themselves men and women of honor and honesty. For although hampered with limited incomes and with their own personal responsibilities in the stringent times pressing them, they did not flinch,

nor whine, but "quit themselves like men." Officers of the association, there is no need to feel absolutely cast down because this undertaking to which you gave your time and money from your small means did not succeed. Nor should we desert the field of broad endeavor because we were defeated in the first skirmish. Have the great in situtions and successful undertakings that we now behold flourishing, been founded and built upon continuous success? Or do their histories show reverses and years of struggle to turn defeat into victory? Ladies and Gentlemen, I take for granted that our action in this crisis will prove whether we are men of metal or not. We cannot in justice to ourselves or the cause desert this fight. We may need to halt, reform our broken lines, fortify our position, hold a council of war and then attack or besiege the enemy as wisdom may suggest. I have just been sketching the life of a courageous man who undertook great things and who in the light of contemporaneous men endured foolhardy trials. Who spent years of his best endeavor against seemingly insummountable odds, who sacrificed friends and culture, and money, and home, and wife, and children, and even life itself that he might fulfill his great mission, a man whose struggles were prodigious, whose courage was indomitable.
The result of it all was that the world was given knowledge of a great unexplored continent, the way was blazed for the onward march of civilization and Christianity, a people who knew not God nor civilization got a glimpse of the immensity of creation and the Creator, and we in our day almost revere the name of David Livingston. The world is full of examples of how great movements have suffered defeat and even scorn by those for whom they were undertaken but wisdom, bought oftimes from dear experience, and courage to try again have overcome and triumphed. shall WE fight against our discouragements or shall we quit? I for one am willing to try again and to the best of my ability endeavor to accomplish something in this line or at least to lay a foundation, if only by an example of sacrifice and failure that some one may build upon the ruins an edifice dedicated to humanity and to our people.
W. A. JONES, M.D., Pres.
P. S.—We hope, next week, to publish a full account of all monies collected and expended during the fiscal year.

MAN COUGHS AND BREAKS RIBS
After a frightful coughing spell a man in Neenah, Wis., felt terrible pains in his side and his face or found two ribs had been broken. What agony Dr. King's New Discovery would have saved him. A few teaspoonful ends a late cough, while persistent use routs obstinate coughs, expels stubborn colds or heals weak, sore lungs. "I feel sure it's a God-send to humanity," writes Mrs. Effe Morton, Columbia, Mo., "for I believe I would have consumption today if I had not used this great remedy." It's guaranteed to satisfy, and you can get a free trial bottle or 50-cent or $1.00 size at all drummers.

2310 Dearborn, Chicago, Ill.
For several years I suffered with rheumatism and took several kinds of medicines and seemed to get worse. At night I could not turn myself over without assistance and suffered untold misery in my arms, shoulders and back, and one of my legs grew stiff and I feared I would become a cripple, but thanks to Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder, after taking three bottles I am able to do my work with ease and comfort, can rest at night as though nothing had ever troubled me. So to every one troubled with rheumatism I recommend Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder to the highest.

‘All of these things created an urgen
need for a leader like Mr. Pace, wh:

Pace as grand exalted ruler are to bi
considered as a helpful leaven in thi

‘The selection of a new president for
Howard university in Washington will

dearth of candidates, but to discover
from tle array of material the man of
Intellectual breadth, moral strength,
winning personality, constructive gen-
ius and executive ability, such as Dr.
‘'Thirkield 1s and what his successor
must be, will tax the wisdom of the
board of trustees, to which body this
duty will fall.
It is evident that there will be no
undue haste in filling the vacancy, and
the fitness of every candidate will be
fully tested before a cholce Is decided
upon. Since the financial future of
the university 1s practically secure be-
cause of the federal appropriations
that will come year after year the ar-
gument that a white man must head
the school in order to influence con-
gressional fayor becomes less forceful.
‘There is a general feeling that the
time is ripe for the election of a com-
petent colored man for a school that
is essentially a Negro institution,
though not officially styled as such.
Many of the white members of the
board and of congress have expressed
themselves in sympathy with this {dea
and will lend their support to the right
colored man brought forward for the
position, Friends of the school are
raking the country with a fine tooth
comb in their effort to pick out a Ne-
gro educator who is likely to fill the
bill.

CHCAGO BALL TEAMS.
Te baseball fans of Chicago are hav-
ing the times of their lives these
balmy days. The Chicago Giants and
the Leland Giants are playing some
fast ball and the city flag looks very
favorable to both teams. The attend.
ances are very large and the Chicago
fans are loyal supporters, which
makes the home teams feel that they
are after all a much looked upon fac-
tor to the pleasure-seekers of that
city.
MIKE GIBBONS VS. DIXIE KID.
For the past two or three months a
fast coming boxer and at present
claimant of the welterweight cham-
pionship, Mr. Mike Gibbons, the boy
from St. Paul, it seems, is taking too
much upon himself, or in other words,
is claiming a title that does not be-
long to him. A year ago Dixie Kid,
the prominent Negro boxer, was sup-
posed to have been the champ of that
division and is today, only Gibbons is
claiming it, and since there seems to
be so many trying to claim the tile
Why can’t some promoter induce Gib-
bons to box Dixie Kid and see who is
the best man. There is no doubt but
what the bout would be a good card
and it would mean the settlement of a
very tangled dispute.
CONSUMPTION ©
I had suffered with bronchitis, loss
of appetite and lost flesh for almost
a year until I started taking the
Twentieth Century Wonder Tea. I
immediately saw a change and began
gaining flesh and could eat almost
anything with a relish. I soon got 80
that a cold did not effect me. I had
‘en confined to the bed from ten to
twelve days before taking the Twen-
tieth Century Wonder Tea, and I be-
leve too much cannot be said in its
praise. I cheerfully recommend it to
anyone suffering from bronchitis and
lung trouble.
