Fort Russell and Cheyenne Happenings Twenty-Third Year Fort Rus and Ch Ha Cheyenne, Wyo. The educational services at Allen Chapel Sunday evening were a success. An immense crowd was out, and all admitted that the program was highly entertaining and instructive. All the papers were good, but it was conceded that the papers of Sergeant McGinnis and Mr. William Ashford, Jr., were the better ones of the list. Many beautiful and entertaining vocal and piano solos were rendered. Mrs. Blakeney sang a very beautiful solo, entitled, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." A very beautiful piano solo by Mrs. J. A. Baker, rendered in her usual sweet way, almost brought the church to its feet. Miss Ruth Robinson read a very interesting descriptive paper on Quindero College. Lieutenant B. O. Davis and wife were among the more prominent personalities in attendance. Rev. Mendenhall, who was supposed to preach at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday morning, did not arrive on account of having been taken seriously ill at his home in Buxon, Iowa. Rev. Lucia officiatetd t in his stend. Sunday afternoon Sergeant and Mrs. Bell gave a beautiful dinner party in honor of Mrs. G. L. Flippin and Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Hamler. Mrs. Flippin left our city Tuesday for Lincoln, Neb., where she will arrange for her daughter from Tacoma, Wash., to enter high school. Mrs. Keggal, wife of Sergeant Keggal, is very sick. Mrs. Thomas is recovering speedily from the polsonous mishap she sustained three weeks ago. Fort Russell, Wyo. Sunday afternoon one of the most interesting ball games of the season was played between the Ninth Cavalry team and the Cheyenne Indians. The Indians, who claim the championship of the Rocky Mountain region, boasted that they would see what the Ninth Cavalry could do. Although red-skins, by putting in three of the best players of the Eleventh Infantry with the six best players of their own team, won, they have nothing to brag about. The Ninth boys, who had not played a game for over a month, gave them such a hard tussel that it is thought that the red-necks will try to borrow either some of the best of the Denver Grizzlies or some of the best of McGraw's bunch the next time they invite the Ninth bunch down to play. Nearly everybody is asking about pay day, and everybody seems to have heard that payment would either be on one date or another. But all speculation on the subject have so far failed. It has been so long since the ghost walked here, and as information is so unreliable as to when he will walk again, that some people are beginning to discredit the belief that the army is haunted. During the past week there has been a great deal of discussion concerning the discontinuance of the 11 D. m. inspection. Nearly all of the enlisted men are of the opinion that this roll call is useless in time of peace. Some organization commanders have practically excused their men from this inspection already. All the men have to do is to write their names on a piece of paper and then go on about their business. It make sno difference how greasy their mitts are, the hand-shaker, the bone-polisher and everybody else, except the staff and cooks, have to drill now. The war department order recently issued requires everybody to dangle each day except Sunday. On this day everybody takes it easy with father and catches the 6 o'clock car for revellie. The Second Squadron was very glad to see the First and Third Squadrons return to the post. The men of the post squadrons were getting only three nights off guard. The Second Squadron men admit that the meat books were not much good to them, as the ghost had not walked. Cook Wingfield's club are the champion whist players of the regiment. The club won the championship in Poll Mountains after many nights of hard playing against tall comers. Army bands at this post will not be permitted to play outside of the reservation any more, unless a regiment is with them. Last Sunday the Ninth Cavalry band had been designated to play just before and during the ball game, but a union band man sent a telegram to the war department Sunday morning requesting that the army band be hindered from playing. Captain Moyer of the I troop football eleven, has his team out practising every afternoon. The team looks now like it could put up a good game. Monday evenning Mrs. Mallory entertained at cards. A gleeful bunch of friends were present and enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Taylor of Topeka, Kan., was the week-end guest of Chaplain and Mrs. Prisleaut. MISS SIMMONS' ESTATE. Relatives and Many Institutions Benefit by Will of Wealthy Woman. It has been learned upon good authority that the late Miss Catherine Simmons of Middletown, Conn., in her will left $500 to St. Monica's Home For Sick Colored Women and Children, $500 to the Home For Aged Colored Women, $500 to St. Augustine's church and $500 to Woodlawn cemetery, in Everett, Mass. The three institutions above mentioned are in Boston. Near relatives of the deceased were also remembered. Miss Simmons was cared for by friends in Boston, with whom she spent her last days. The first report concerning the will of the deceased was to the effect that all of her estate, valued at $10,000, had been left to ex Governor Frank B. Weeks of Connecticut, to be disposed of as he saw fit. Holy Trinity Episcopal church, in Middletown, Conn., where Miss Simmons lived for many years, was given $500. The rest of the estate is left in trust with the Hon. Frank B. Weeks of Middletown, with the request that the income be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Growth and Achievements of the Race Since the Negroes were freed they have increased from 4,000,000 to 11, 000,000. It would be nearer the truth to say 20,000,000 if we include that large body of persons with African re enforcement who are successfully pass ing for white persons. Negroes own today $600,000,000. They have 135 prl ivate high schools, 30,000 teachers, 82 banks, about 500 newspapers and per periodicals. They have decreased illiter acy 47 per cent. They have 1,500 law yers, 2,500 physicians, several thousand clergymen, 149 wholesale houses, 9,008 retail merchants, 1,186 manufac turers and 2,000,000 children in the schools. Secretaryship For I. Garland Penn. Professor I. Garland Penn, who has achieved success in many fields of endeavor for the religious and intellectual advancement of the race, succeeds the Rev. Dr. M. C. B. Mason as secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church. Hope for continued success in his new field is expressed by his large circle of friends. CANON CITY. Professor Allen of Pueblo preached two soul-stirring sermons for us Sun- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG. 17. 1912. THE NEW PRIMARY LAW. Conditions have made it possible for only two parties, the Republican and Democratic, to participate in the primaries which occur September 10. Adherents to the new Third Party will not participate at all. All factions of the two old parties will present their candidates for the various offices from the United States Senator down. Each voter will have to choose the ticket of one party or the other, and on it express his preference, but he cannot pick candidates from both. The primaries are held under State control the same as the November election. Colored citizens need to recognize their importance. It is highly probable that the vote cast then will be only a fraction of that cast in November. Therefore the primary voter will be the more influential in eliminating undesirable candidates. As an aid to colored voters whom we urge to participate in these primaries whatever their politics may be. We shall devote space from time to time to the merits of candidates and principles for which they stand. day, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. We're always glad to have the professor in our midst. The Misses Dovle and Grace Wells entertained a few friends Sunday with a southern luncheon. Mr. W. H. C. Stell of the Rio Grande was a visitor Monday. Misses Bedell, Russell and Bates of Pueblo motored over Sky Line drive in company with Canon's Booster, and report the drive a wonder. Robert Brooks is on the sick list. Progress Literary Club has been called to meet on August 20th by the president, Nep Truety.

Near Rochelle, Ill., an Indian went to sleep on a railroad track and was killed by the fast express. He paid for his carelessness with his life. Often its that way when people neglect coughs and colds. Don't risk your life when prompt use of Dr. King's New Discovery will cure them and so prevent dangerous throat or lung trouble.

Denver News Especially of the Churches We are delighted to report a good Sunday school, both financially and spiritually. We are delighted with the attendance, the school is still increasing under the leadership of Brother W. A. Moore.

All the teachers were present and through their united efforts succeeded in making it a joyous day for the children, as wel las a financial success. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. 26th and Clarkson Sts. Mrs. R. E. Peterson, national secretary of the W. C. T. U., spoke to a large and enthusiastic audience last Sunday evening. Mrs. Peterson is a very inuent speaker and has a message which commands attention and reflection. Dr. Maud Saunders and mother, Mrs. L. H. Froman, who are members of the Colorado W. C. T. U., accompanied Mrs. Peterson. The pastor, James N. Wallace, B. D. D. D., former district superintendent of the Colorado District, received a night letter from Dr. I. Garland Penn, the new secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of Cincinnati, Ohio, requesting him to speak upon the anniversary of this society during the session of the Colorado annual conference, which meets at Canon City August 28th. This position was formerly held for twenty years by Dr. M. C. B. Mason. The Ladies' Aid Society, under the competent leadership of Mrs. Anna McPherson, served a delightful dinner last Thursday and at night under the management of Mrs. Claudie Pash an Old Folks' concert was given. Mrs. Ella Carter and Mrs. M. J. Kirkpatrick gave a birthday dinner to Mrs. Brown last Sunday, who had reached her sixty-sixth mile-stone in life. Dr. John F. Thomas, the pastor, and his family were present to enjoy the repast and to congratulate Mrs. Brown. She will soon leave for Silverton to join her grand-daughter Messrs. Hicks, McPherson and Thomas, carpenters of no mean ability, built the new pulpit and choir platform last week. Miss Roselee Rice and her faithful committee will try to have the carpet laid this week. The carpet was delayed because there was not enough of the desired pattern in the city. The Epworth League is trying to work up sentiment enough to raise funds to paint and frescoe the interior of the church. Mesdames I. Scott and Muton of Galveston, Texas, who have been pleasant visitors with Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Williams, left last week for Los Angeles, Cal.

MASONIC GRAND LODGE Several Denverites attended the Masonic Grand Lodge in Pueblo on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. They were William Sprague, J. R. Contee, T. S. Rector, L. J. Little, C. B. Hill, T. J. Riley, William Russ, George A. Derry and C. A. Franklin. The session was marked by the adoption of a new constitution. The next place of meeting will be Grand Junction. The newly elected officers are S. P. Douglas of Pueblo, Grand Master; G. W. Cotwell of Victor, Deputy Grand Master; R. E. Young of Pueblo, Grand Senior Warden; W. F. Lee of Colorado Springs, Grand Junior Warden; Wm. Sprague of Denver, Grand Secretary; J. R. Contee of Denver, Grand Treasurer; S. N. Nelson of Pueblo, Grand Trustee. The appointive officers are C. B.

A. Randolph will preach. 5:30 p. m.—"Woman's Missionary Program." Sunday, August 25, the pastor will resume pulpit work. His subject for discussion will be "Roosevelt and the Negro in National Politics." Every Negro, whether he belongs to the "Bull Moose" party or otherwise, is invited to worship with us at that occasion. The members and friends, including the out-of-town worshippers, are to be congratulated for their regular and punctual attendance on the services. Since Easter there has not been a poorly attended service. In many instances the afternoon services are wonderfully patronized. --- Last Sunday, the Rev. Rice excelled all efforts of his in the past in his pulpit effort. The young man bids fair as an analytical and convincing preacher. The people were glad to hear him. The duets of Mr. McVey and Miss Reid, also that of Mrs. Pearl Rose and Miss Lottie Coleman, soprano and alto singers of this church, was above the ordinary. The Jubilee Singers have come and done what they were advertised to do. We will not attempt to comment on the ability of the singers. One thing we feel sure of is on their return to Denver the people will not fail to hear them. We want, however, to thank the crowded house that listened with so much interest to the program. Both whites and blacks were enchanted beyond measure by the performances of the company. Nor must we forget to express our appreciation to the ticket sellers for their immediate settlement of accounts, and in a general way all who contributed to make the night's venture the summer's musical treat. Everybody is now asked to look forward to the coming of the Byron's Troubadours, who will discuss music on 20 different pieces of instruments at the anniversary and formal reopening of this church September 23. The whole activities related to the anniversary will last for eight days, beginning Wednesday night, the 18th, to the following Wednesday night, when the Troubadours will climax the anniversary in their last recital at the city Auditorium. Success of the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass as Lecturer. What the Head of American Baptist Publication Society For Religious Instruction Among Afro-Americans Is Doing For His Race-Vastness of His Work Noted. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.-The problem of how to hold the young people in the church and Sunday school is one which cannot be solved by any one method. The reason for this broad statement is apparent from the fact that the home training and community environment of persons differ widely. Another essential point to be considered is the moral and intellectual bent of the person to be taught. The problem is progressive, continuous and incapable of final solution because of the variability of the subjects to which the solution of it is applicable. No one method has so far M. B. been found which will suit all classes or conditions in the same manner. It is the consensus of opinion, however, among experienced workers in church, Sunday schools and other departments of religious education that the nearest approach to any one method by which to bind the young people to the church and the Sunday school is proper instruction in Bible knowledge. First the blade, then the ear and next the full corn in the ear-conversion, induction into the church and a proper conception of the will of God concerning himself will do the Sunday school scholar more good than all the man invented methods possible. The most effective agency for securing such results as above referred to of which we know is found in the work of the American Baptist Publication society, conducted especially for our people by the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass. The benefits derived from Dr. Vass' Bible lectures have been felt for good in all sections of the country by the churches, schools, Young Men's Christian associations and missionary organizations to which he has lectured. Dr. Vass recently delivered a series of Bible lectures for the Young Men's Christian association in Kansas City, Mo. The results of the instruction given to the men through the lecture system of Bible study have been phenomenal. Secretary R. B. De Frantz is highly elated because of the impetus given the association in individual effort on the part of the men. It has meant more interest, more regular attendance and greater energy upon the part of members to push the work forward. The Alabama Baptist state Sunday school convention, the National Religious Training school, the state conventions of North and South Carolina, the training school for girls and young women in Washington, the national Baptist young people's congress, the Concord and Abyssinian churches in Brooklyn and New York respectively and scores of other religious and educational bodies have engaged Dr. Vass for lecture work. He maintains headquarters in Raleigh, N. C. It would no doubt be a wise thing for each Y. M. C. A. among us to arrange with Dr. Vass for a series of lectures once a year. He is acknowledged by pastors, educators and theologians to be the foremost Biblicalist of the race. He has traveled and lectured extensively for nearly twenty years. He is rich in experience, scholarly in attainment, forceful and modest in presenting the truth. Young People's Union Runs Newspaper The Young People's union of the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York publishes a splendid four page monthly bulletin, which gives the doings of the church, the Sunday school and the other auxiliaries of the church. It is neatly got up, well printed and reflects the intelligence of the members of the organization. CONVENTION OF BUSINESS MEN National Body Will Meet In Chicago Aug. 21. GUEST OF THE LOCAL LEAGUE.

BISHOP SHAFFER MADE WELCOME Reception In His Honor Held In Pittsburgh. FEATURES OF THE OCCASION Officials of North and South Pittsburgh Districts, City Pastors and Their Congregations Acclaim Advent of Right Rev. Cornelius T. Shaffer. Rev. Dr. P. A. Scott Presides. Pittsburgh.—The most notable event in religious circles in this city and vicinity recently was the magnificent welcome reception tendered Bishop Cornelius T. Shaffer, head of the Third Episcopal district of the A. M. E. church. Wylie Avenue church was the scene of this great assemblage of many brilliant features. The meeting was called to order by Dr. D. S. Bentley of Euclid Avenue A. M. E. church and chairman of the committee of arrangements, who conducted the devotional services. The opening hymn was read by Dr. R. H. Morris of Brown chapel, the treasurer of the committee of arrangements. The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. P. E. Paul of Meadville, and Rev. C. P. Herrington of Franklin led in prayer. Dr. Bentley then arose and said: "We are gathered here tonight to welcome to our conference and our great city a most distinguished churchman, behind whom there is a long and illustrious history. I am sorry to announce the absence of Dr. T. J. Askew. 29 REV DR. P. A. SCOTT. the presiding elder of the East Pittsburgh district, who was expected to preside at this meeting, but is kept from us by pressing work more than 300 miles away. Master of Ceremonies Lauds Speakers. "In his absence, however, I have the pleasure of presenting another young man of sterling worth to act as master of ceremonies, a man who is entertaining in thought and expression and who is in every way fitted for the occasion, in the person of Dr. P. A. Scott, the pastor of Wylie Avenue A. M. E. church." In his usual happy manner Rev. Scott accepted the honor conferred upon him and expressed his joy in the privilege of bidding welcome to the distinguished guest of honor and, in announcing the program, paid a pleasing and appropriate tribute to each of the speakers. --- Most scholarly and eloquent welcome addresses were delivered by Dr. N. D. Temple, presiding elder of the North Pittsburgh district, and Dr. R. H. Bumry, presiding elder of the South Pittsburgh district, both of whom gave lavish and fluent expression of the great joy with which the pastors and people of this conference and community hall the coming of the eminent Bishop Shaffer and the readiness of all to follow his wise and godly leading. Rev. C. P. Herrington sang very sweetly, "I'm Here on Business For My King." Rev. Scott then introduced the bishop, and in his usual dignified manner he arose and in the choicest fiction accepted the words of welcome and expressed his pleasure in the cordiality with which his coming here was being met. Among other things of especial worth, the bishop said in part: Bishop Shaffer's Timely Address. "I am traveling over the Third Episcopal district to get personally acquainted with the work and needs of the various sections, so that I will have some first hand knowledge to guide me in the matter of making appointments at the annual conferences. This district is especially dear to me, for here I was born, and also my parents. Within this district I was converted, licensed to preach, ordained a deacon, an elder and to the office of bishop. "Forty-two years ago my elder brother presented me to the conference in Ohio; later he presented me at the general conference to be secretary of the Church Extension Society, and later he presented me at the general conference to be elected bishop. I am the only bishop in the history of the A. M. E. church whose mother was present at his ordination to that office.

For Shame! fore Agia ie ate en Ca On Trent Chief of Police O'Neil has caused 4 colored citizen to be subjected to the third degree not only of his de- partment, but of all the people, by his emphatic statement that he be- lieved Featherstone guilty of the mur- der of the Harman music teacher. He did this before he had made full in- quiry into the alibi set up by Feath- erstine. We find no fault with the chief for his desperate efforts to ap- yrehend the murderer, but of the thirty suspects arrested this negro alone has had to suffer the public humiliation of being branded as a de generate, an evident criminal, an un- desirable citizen with a bad record and the like. O'Neil owes it to the dignity of his office to refrain from brandirgs men as guilty until his de- partment has ample evidence to prove them so, even though the accused are Negroes. It sayors largely of preju- dice that this one man alone has un- dergone this experience. It is the more shameless that he was so treat- ed because the very facts he set up in his defense were easily capable of Investigation, NOTABLE GATHERING OF ANCIENT SECRET ORDER.

Governor Wilson declared that in the°event of his election to the exalted position of president of the United States he would observe the law not only in letter and spirit, but in the spirit of the Christian religion, and endeavor to treat all the people alike as a Christian gentleman.

THOS-HAZELL’S POSITION ON POLITICS Seen ee Apparently one of the most dificult things to make some people under- stand is that I am not a politician Some time ago I had occasion to ex- press myself relative to my position on all public questions. Politics is a public issue. Whenever I make a deliverance on politics, like my ex- pressed sentiments last fall on the comthission form of government, the Arnold. manifesto for the mayoralty last spring and the Bull Moose party and the Negro Sunday week, it is to inform the hearers of thy race and especially the members of the Peo: ple’s Presbyterian Church that they may act. intelligently at the polls. Whenever the minister of the Gospel fails to do his whole duty to all of ‘the people committed to his trust as he sees that duty he is a misfit to his profession and a false prophet of God. I was very much surprised te observe in the columns of the ‘Times last Saturday that I was nom- inated by Mr. Charles Pitschke as a candidate for the legislature on the state and county ‘ticket as proposed by the Platform or Arnold Democrats that held their convention at the Adam's hotel. It was not at the con- vention. I authorized no one to nom- inate me for the legislature or any other political berth. Neither am I an aspirant for a political office. ‘The Christian ministry as a profession provides for me a greater fleld for usefulness for mankind than anythin else. I intend to remain in the pulpit and fight politics and everything else that is crooked and unrighteous, It is for this very reason why I relin- quished the study of law and turned my back on medicine some years ago. Whilst I am willing and ready to help a cause for righteousness’ sake, yet I want to be understood by the people at large that I am a minister of the Gospel, consecrated to the exalted profession of the Christian ministry and not a politician. In consequence of which I cannot under any circum- stances accept any nomination for the legislature or anything else that will divorce my activities from the work of the ministry, J. A. THOS-HAZELT. THE STATESMAN—4 | PLAIN TALK TO WORKMEN. | _ pe we Say Dee and Churches, Says Washington. Newport News, Va.—With rare tact and force Dr. Booker ‘Tr, Washington. who is a master in handling men and solying difficult problems, recently spoke to a large group of colesea men and boys who are employed ut good wages by the Newport News Shipbuild- ing and Dry Dock compang. Dr. Wash- ington spoke very plainly on the sub- Ject of colored men and boys attending more strictly to their work. ‘There is a distinct need of haying the 2,250 colored men und boys co-operate with the general manager, Homer 1. Ferguson, and other officers of the great shipbuilding plant, who have clearly shown, even under the most trying conditions, their desire to sive the colored workers a square deal. ‘The question to be settled has not been one of hours and wages, but of geting them to work regularly. ‘A group of colored men from New- port News, headed by Walter K. Jones, who has the respect and confidence of white gnd colored people alike, brousht the matter before Major R. R. Moton of Hampton institute, and he tn turn secured the good offices of Dr. Wash- ington in bringing the problem fairly and squarely before the colored work- ers in the shipyard and those who could bring unusual influence to bear upon them. Dr. Washington outlined the condi- tion of workingmen in southern Eu- ‘rope. He told graphically the story of his trip through Europe and his ex- ‘perience with men and women who “were poorly fed, poorly clothed, poorly housed and poorly paid for their Ia- borious services. He showed by con- trast how much better off are the Ne- groes of America, who do not have to ‘seek work and who with thrift can im- prove their economic condition. The Newport News shipyard pays weekly to colored workers $25,000. This fact shows the important eco- nomic reason for Dr, Washington en- couraging the colored workers to stick to thelr jobs and, instead of recklessly and foolishly spending their good wages, bulld better homes and churches. An eloquent appeal was made by Dr. Washington, who through actual experience knows the hardships of an uphill struggle. He urged the colored people to do their full duty and more than they were being paid for, to keep: their word, to put heart and conscience into thelr work, to co-operate heartily with those in authority and to cultivate civic pride. He called upon the white people to exercise more patience with the colored people with whom they deal. for after all the American Negro 1s a loyal. Christian American eltizen "He asked that the colored men and boys of the shipyard be given the op- portunity of making a new start, The eyes of the colored people fieippi the United States are turned upon the men and boys who have in thelr grasp the success or failnre of many of thelr fellows in industrial life.

RHEUMATISM Gentlemen: I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. {n July, 1909, I noticed that I had Sn- flammatory rheumatism. In health 1 had weighed 152 pounds; I dropped to 120 pounds. After being canfined to the bed for two and a halt months a friend recommended Bates’ Twen: eth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight {s 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to re- fer anyone to me I will gladly ex- press the merits of this medicine. Yours truly, A. J. LYLES, Sold by J. J, Bates, manuracturer, 2910 Glenarm place. Denver.

The choice of some 40 trades are offered young men and young women.

The academic work is vital and real; it is close to realities. The school seeks soundness and efficiency; the academic and industrial work are closely correlated.

RESULT OF RACES CONGRESS. Militant Journal: Edited In London by Duse Mohamed Makes Significant Call to Colored Americans For Mutual Affiliation—Affords Channel For International Exchange of Ideas. The African Times and Orient Review, which is an outgrowth of the universal races congress which met in London in 1911, is a monthly journal devoted to the colored races of the world. It is a thirty-five page magazine, edited with great ability. Duse Mohamed, a Negro born in Egypt and educated in England, is its editor. The Review is to be the mouthpiece of the dark and colored races throughout the world. In the foreword it says, "We feel that for lack of understanding the African and oriental have produced nonappreciation, and nonappreciation has unleashed the hydra headed monster of derision, contempt and repression." Laudable ambitions have but to be voiced to be appreciated, and that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin has only to be brought into operation to establish that bond of universal brotherhood among white, yellow, brown and black. In a "Word to Our Brothers" it says: "As for you, the black race, the brown race and the yellow race, this is your own journal. The more humble you are the more need you have of us and the more readily shall we extend our sympathy and advice. We want to hear from you, the young and budding Sun Yet Sens. "We call on men like Blyden, the Conrad Reeveses, the embryo Frederick Douglasses and Paul Laurence Dunbars. If you have anything to say for the good of your race let us hear it. * * * Your day is coming. Your place in the sun has been and will come again. As darkness overtook you for a space, it must also overtake Europe. The future of Africa, the future of India, will not be decided in the chanceries of Europe, but upon the hills of India and the plains of Africa. "See that your loins are well girded and that you have your staff firmly in your hand when you once more take your place in the sun." The Review is a decided revelation editorially and typographically, while its contributed articles are of a highly meritorious character. It is to be hoped that American Negroes who want to know what is taking place in the darker world and what progress their race is making will subscribe to this excellent magazine. The significance of the Review need not be stated. It must be apparent that the necessity which called it into being is vital to the interests of those whose spokesman it is and that the darker races are beginning to louse from their lethargy and to draw nearer to one another. Sample copies of the review may be had by addressing the publication office, 131 Finsbury pavement, London, E. C. Our poets and writers have here an opportunity to win international fame, and we hope that many will accept the Review's generous invitation to let it hear from them.

MARY E. "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Story of an Ambitious Woman Who Trod Difficult Path From Obscurity to Important Place In Professional Life—Thrown Upon Own Resources. Helped by Sympathetic Friend. Memphis, Tenn.--For genuine, sterling success of the variety that is attained only by hard work and thoroughness in every detail is in every way applicable to Dr. Sadie F. Porter of this city. She is a native of St. Louis, Mo., and was left an orphan at an early age. Through the kind benevolence of a white woman who adopted her she was reared to womanhood. Dr. Porter is in many respects what the world is pleased to call a self made woman. Deprived of parental care and advice in early life, she learned the lesson of self help and individual effort up through many hard struggles. The friend by whom she was adopted was a physician, so that it W. E. H. was quite natural that Dr. Porter's trend of mind would lean toward the medical profession. The success which Dr. Porter is having now is nothing like as interesting to those who are familiar with her even tenor of life as the fact of how, almost single handed, she made her way up from ecurity to prominence in a profession in which not so many women of the race are represented. Within ten years she has built up a large clientele. There are few cities or towns in Tennessee of any considerable size in which Dr. Porter is not known. For a time she was located in Nashville, but as her practice grew she found that Memphis would be a more convenient center from which to reach the larger number of those who desired her services. In religious circles she is well known and bears the reputation of a woman of strong integrity and devotion to racial advancement. Always generous, sympathetic and kind, she has a host of friends, who lavish upon her their confidence and esteem. Perhaps no other factor is more necessary in the struggles of a race than individual effort. On this no doubt depend in a large measure the solidarity and hope of the masses. The achievements of the race thus far have been remarkable. The interest which the women have taken has been a potent factor in every movement for betterment. Their clubs, mutual benefit societies and religious organizations have been the leaven in the lump by which our home life has been kept active and secure. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. New York Historical and Literary Society Issues the Presbyterian. The August issue of the Presbyterian, a monthly journal of some twenty pages, published under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary society of the St. James' Presbyterian church in New York, is a souvenir number.

The leading article gives a brief account of the conference of Workers Among Girls, of which Mrs. Lawton is chairman. The Presbyterian is the organ of the church and society. It contains a summary of the past year's achievements of the literary society, its present plans and future aspirations. It is illustrated from photographs of the many men and women who have taken part in the work during the year. Odd Fellows to Meet In Atlanta, Ga.

DR. SADIE F. PORTER: YOUNG'S LATEST VENTURE. Former Kentuckian Erects Magnificent $100,000 Casino in New York. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. New York.—With the opening of the $100,000 Young's casino in West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, the largest and most costly building of its kind owned by the race in the east, our people are rejoicing. For years it has been sadly told of New York that there was not a hall owned by the colored people in Greater New York where a convention or other large gatherings could be conveniently held. The actual placing at the hands of the colored people of this city of the much needed hall for the accommodation of their various gatherings is due to the foresight and enterprise of Gibeon L. Young. Gibbeon L. Young is a native of Kentucky, but has been in the east for the past seventeen years. He has conducted business places in several New England cities and for the past seven years has conducted a restaurant at 130 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, this city. He has a large circle of friends in various sections of the country. The structure is of colonial design, built of brick with Indiana limestone trimmings. It runs eighty-five feet along Park avenue and 125 feet along One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. It is fireproof, heated by steam and lighted by electricity. A banquet hall to seat 1,200 persons takes up the basement. The main floor, with gallery, will seat 2,500 persons. A roof garden, on which light vaudeville will be a feature, is also one of the attractions. Two fifteen feet courts are at the northern and western ends of the structure. Though the casino was only formally opened the latter part of July, the various organizations have already booked dates that will keep the hall open nightly until late in the winter. Alexander Rogers, the manager, is well known in the theatrical world, having spent ten years with the old Williams and Walker company. He has written a number of the most popular songs of the day. NEW YORK PHILANTHROPIST LEAVES MANY BEQUESTS Afro-Americans Share Generously by Will of Mrs. Ellen Collins. In her will, which was filed for probate in the surrogate's court in New York, Mrs. Ellen Collins left to Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., $5,000 each. The estate is said to be valued at $185,000. Mrs. Collins was much interested in the education of Afro-Americans. Her death occurred in New York the latter part of July. Among the institutions remembered in the will of the deceased are the New York Colored mission, $5,000; the New York yearly meeting of the Society of Friends, over $10,000, and several thousand to the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala. The other institutions which receive legacies are the Lincoln hospital and home and New York Bible society, $1,000 each; American Seamen's Friend society and Peace Society of New York, $1,500 each, and American endowment fund of Lebanon Hospital For the Insane, Syria, Asia, the sum of $5,000. Virginia Sunday School Convention. The attention of Sunday school workers throughout the state of Virginia is for the time being directly centered in the Baptist State Sunday school convention, which is to hold its annual meeting in Alexandria, beginning on Wednesday Aug. 21. EVER HEAR OF PICKLED FEET? SOUNDS FUNNY, DOESN'T IT? BUT IT'S SERIOUS-DANGEROUS-DIS- ASTROUS! YOURS MAY BE "Pickled Feet!" That's a NEW one—on YOU. Pickled feet means DANGER—life-long misery for their poor, suffering owners. They are now being soaked and washed with various foot remedies and reliefs. Reader—you with the blistered, tired, over-worked feet—do you know that the so-called medicated foot-washes you are "pickling" your feet. Then for your own sake, STOP IT! Stop it at ONCE! Those remedies, tired, over-worked feet, wear out your poor feet ten times worse each time. Your feet feel fine for a few hours after bathing, then they wear off and, Oh, my! but your feet go burn, ache, suffer your p each t for then t Oh, M ache, The harm are is only one really safe, sure relief for sufferers, and that ONE relief is SANATITE. Ever hear of it? SANATITE is often from all other foot reliefs-it's in a dry form, in a powder puff. Simply relax, and the day will be happy and bright for you. Bear this in mind: There's no fussing or mussing with water and foot bathing with SANATITE. It's an instant's work—just DUST it on. SANATITE—through its wondrous antiseptic healing qualities—takes the sting out of sore, itchy, itchy skin and bumps that have been overworked. And, Reader, it never harms them. It also helps to blight their perspire, dust them with SANATITE—it deodorizes—refreshes—but DOES NOT stop perspiration. It gives the same pleasing results when it is applied to the skin, which is used constantly by refined men and women. SANATITE is the greatest healer and pain destroyer ever. It is the recommendation of physicians and nurses—it will do likewise with YOU. Always remember this. Reader: If your feet suffer, the pain will be relieved. It causes bodily injuries that may ruin your health for life. Now go to your DRUGGIST and get a 250 for it. Now go to ATTITUDE, and dust it on it. OK. At 05:00.
