THE DENVER STAR TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. Number 36 Interesting News Concerning the Race. PAID THE PENALTY. Hanged in Alabama. One of the few times in the history of the state a white man has paid the extreme penalty of the law for the murder of a negro. Possibly for the first time in the history of the south have two white men been hanged for the killing of a single member of the African race. Yesterday morning between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock Arthur Jones and Will Watson, charged, convicted and condemned for the murder of John Holland, were executed in the yard of the jail of Jefferson county, and each man met his fate bravely. And both men confessed complicity in the crime for which they were hanged. Curious Crowds Gathered Early. Crowds of morbidly curious began gathering around the railing of the court house grounds as early as 8 o'clock, and by 9:30 it was necessary to stretch a rope across the alleyway leading to the jail entrance. As the hour of execution drew near, the crowd became more dense, and it was with difficulty that the street was kept open for traffic. It was a crowd of high and low degree. Attracted by the tragedy being enacted within the grim walls of the jail the prosperous business men rubbed elbows with a messenger boy on one side and a negro on the other. There was very little noise, a breathless interest seeming to hold the spectators enthralled as the hour of the clock in the court house dome slowly ticked off the minutes of two lives. Only the relatives of the condemned men, police officers detailed for special duty, deputy sheriffs and those who had definite business were allowed in the warden's office of the jail. There was a low hum of conversation, no laughter and no loud talking. The same air of constraint was noted in the warden's office as in the crowd in the street. The news that Governor O'Neal had refused to extend exclusive clemency was broken to Watson and Jones about 7 o'clock yesterday morning by James McAdory, a son of Warden McAdory. Neither man showed noticeable emotion. Well, Will, said McAdory, "It's all over. There is no chance." Watson called across to Arthur Jones, "It's all over." "Is that so?" was the only response. Watson Makes Statemet. "I have prayed over this thing. I have spent many a moment on my knees and wept many a tear. I have done my best. I decided when my only chance was gone to come clean and let my friends know how this occurred. Everything is all right. I'll be in a better world in a few minutes. I ask the Lord to forgive me. I feel that the Lord will receive me in that heavenly home. "My advice to you boys, in this the saddest hour of my life," (he broke off abruptly, stepping slightly to the front and raising his voice). "is don't never get in a place like this. I don't feel like I had ought to be hung. I have taken no life. I guess that is about all. The crime for which the two white men paid the extreme penalty yesterday was one of the blackest in the history of Jefferson county. The story of the killing as told to the juries that made the first investigation was grusome in the extreme. It showed a conspiracy on the part of four white men to inveigle their victim into the woods and there shot him down like a dog. The crime was committed near Coalburg in the western part of the county on June 18, 1911, but was not brought to light until the spring of the following year. Special corner's juries were appointed to investigate the murder with the result that Walter and Arthur Jones and Will Watson were indicted for the murder of the negro. John Wade was the fourth man implicated but turned state's evidence and is still in the county jail. Arthur Jones was tried first and given the death penalty; Walter Jones received life imprisonment, but a few weeks later was sentenced to hang for the murder of Lawrence B. Evans, and Will Watson was tried and found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung. Strenuous efforts were made to save Watson from the gallows, many believing that the punishment was too severe and the governor was urged to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. But the pardon board and the governor refused to interfere and the law was fully carried out. HARDLY POSSIBLE. (From the Syracuse Post-Standard.) Picture the governor of a great Southern State, sitting on the platform with a negro, addressing an audience of 200 whites and 1,500 negroes and pledging himself to give more help to the colored folks than to the white folks in his state. It doesn't seem possible, does it? Exactly that happened in Montgomery a few days ago. The governor of Alabama, Mr. O'Neal, a man of uncommon force and statesmanship, and Booker T. Washington, the most eminant private citizen of his state, stood side by side and told just such an audience as we have described what needs to be done to improve the condition of Mr. Washington's people and further decrease the lawlessness that has heretofore characterized the relations between the races; and the two were in common agreement. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1913. An Appeal From Omaha Sufferers Through the courtesy of Rev. R. L. Pope, The Star publishes the following letter from Rev. W. T. Osborne, pastor of St. John's Methodist church at Omaha. It is understood that the pastors of the several local churches will make an appeal Sunday at both services for the cyclone sufferer's, and will send the amount received through the Red Cross Agency. This is as it should be. And it is earnestly hoped that the Negro population of Denver will go on record as being interested in all that makes for the weal of this commonwealth, and then we can be depended upon to take an active hand in every movement that tends to relieve suffering and make the world better and brighter. Our contribution will not be as large as that of others, yet we can and should exhibit the same magnanimous spirit. 613 N. 18th St., Omaha, Nebraska. March 25, 1913. Rev. R. L. Pope, D.

Thanking you in advance for kind consideration that may be given us, I am yours in christian love, praised the fidelity of the colored men who were left in charge of the families and property of their masters who were fighting under Lee. He insisted that the white people of his state could be depended upon to extend help to the colored people. The opportunity for the Alabama negro, Mr. Washington said, is in Alabama. There he can find plenty of work every day in the year. The native white man of Montgomery does not discriminate against the negro. It is often said that the Southern white man knows the negro better than any other white man does. Mr. Washington amends that by saying that the Southern negro understands the Southern white man. The duty of the negro in the South, he says, is to make the Southern white man understand that it pays to educate the colored folk; that education does not mean merely a tendency to wear red socks and patent leather shoes, but that it means converting a useless person into a producer. In one of the epigrams which distinguish Mr. Washington as a public speaker he said: "There is no more danger in giving the negro an opportunity to get education so that he may be a good citizen than there is in furnishing him opportunities to degrade himself so that he may be a worthless citizen." Such conferences as this cannot fail to be of great use to the South. They cannot OR DONBURTON W. T. OSBORNE. fail to be a tremendous example to the North. Under the leadership of men like O'Neal and Washington the two races would get on much better in the South, and they get on now much better than Northerners suspect. MAJOR YOUNG SHOT. Mrs. Lowry, of near Wilberforce, has received word that her son, Major Charles Young, U. S. A., detailed at Liberia, Africa, was shot through one of his arms on the 20th of January, while engaged in surpressing the rebellion along the coast of Liberia. The wound is not thought to be dangerous. Major Young's wife is in New York City and she is very anxious about his safety. WHITE WOMAN SHOOTS NEGRO MAN In the cafe of Levy's saloon at 2100 Larimer street, Clarence Sears was shot and mortally wounded by a white woman by the name of Rose O'Grady, Monday night, March 24. From the testimony given by eye witnesses, both white and colored, it seems that the O'Grady woman deliberately shot Sears without cause. The woman was in the cafe drinking in company with two other white women and a man. Sears went into the cafe, exchanged a few words Washington, D. C., March 14, 1913.—The smoldering flames of indignation, indeed, a most intense indignation, which can at a moment's notice break forth into a wild conflagration of protest, became the subject of conversation in the forum today. The indignation is caused by a report which has become rife in this city within the past few hours and by what is being referred to as the "indecent haste" with which the resignation of Mon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, has been accepted by McReynolds, the Tennessean, whom President Wilson has made Attorney General of the United States. The report referred to runs about like this: Bishop Walters, either by himself or in company with other negro democrats (upon this point the report is not quite dehnite), called upon Postmaster General Burleson for the purpose of furthering the interests of certain of the faithful who had the endorsement of the National Colored Democratic League. Mr. Burleson, who is a Texan, is reported to have informed the Bishop and his calleagues that he was opposed to the appointment of any negro, regardless of who he might be or what his fitness was, to any position where white men and white women would come under the direction of such appointee. "This is not a matter over which I have complete control," Mr. Burleson is reported to have said. "The matter is entirely within the control of the President, and if President Wilson makes up his mind to appoint a negro to office I can't stop him. But I tell you men quite frankly that I shall never give my consent to the appointment of any negro where conditions such as I have just mentioned exist." Efforts to see Bishop Walters and get from him a confirmation or a denial of the report referred to have been unavailing, and other democratic leaders among the colored people who are still lingering, with vague hopes of seeing which way the lightning is going to strike, are extremely reticent. It is only fair to say, however, that the rumored rebuff at the hands of Postmaster General Burleson has had a decidedly depressing effect on the spirits of the pie-hunters. The Lewis incident, far from helping the situation with the piano player and went down stairs; no words of any kind were passed between the two, and as Sears came up from the basement, the woman fired four or five shots at him, only one taking effect. The bullet struck in the throat, turned downard and passed through his left lung. Sears remained conscious until he reached the county hospital. On being asked who shot him, he said, FIVE CENTS A COPY any, has added to its sombreness. The story goes that Attorney General Wickersham called all of the assistant attorney generals to his office a few days before the inauguration and informed them that it was the practice, which had been followed heretofore in all cases, for the assistants to the Attorney General to tender their resignations just before a change of administration took place. The objects of this custom is to give the incumbent a free hand in the choice of his chief assistants as well as to relieve those tendering their resignations from the unpleasantness of being fired." At the close of the conference all the assistant attorneys general, including Mr. Lewis, tendered their resignations. The documents were filed for the time being and became the very first papers to receive the consideration of the new Attorney General. Although the report of Mr. Lewis' resignation was not made public for several days, it is understood that it was accepted on March 6, just forty-eight hours after the new democratic administration had started upon its career. The death of Judge John Q. Thompson, which took place a short time ago in Chicago, created one vacancy in the office of assistant attorney general. Those still in office on March 4th, but whose resignations had already been tendered, were assistant attorneys general Fowler, Harr, Dennison, Knaebel and Lewis. It is said that Attorney General McReynolds called Mr. Lewis to his office on the 6th day of March and told him that he was compelled to accept his resignation at once. Just what reasons were assigned for the urgent necessity for accepting Mr. Lewis' resignation at once have not been divulged, though numerous rumors, as is to be expected, are afloat. The suggestion is made that the presence of a colored man in such close proximity to cabinet rank and dignity, has been a terrific thorn in the side of the southern wing of the democratic party ever since the Lewis appointment was made by President Taft and confirmed by the Senate. The southern democratic wolf, it is said, regarded Mr. Lewis as a particularly toothsome bit and determined long ago to make him the first piece of prey to be devoured with the advent of the new regime. "the woman." On being asked why, he said he didn't know. Sears died at 1:45 from in internal hemorrage caused by the pearcing of a blood vessel by the bullet. The woman claims that she shot him by mistake, but is credited with saying in the patrol that she certainly made the trigger hum, or words to that effect. It is reported that Sears and the woman had been intimate. FOR RENT FOR RENT FOR RENT—When you want particular rooms for particular people, call up York 1633, at 260, Clarkson street.

M. Marquess—Wireless Telegraphy and Music Given Special Attention. Kansas City, Kan.-One of the best high schools in the country for the training of the boys and girls of the race is the Sumner high school, located in this city. This splendid institution is attended by 247 boys and girls, who are preparing for usefulness in life. It has been the aim of the school board, headed by the superintendent, to secure the best trained men and women as instructors. At the head of the school is one of the leading educators of the country. Professor J. M. Marquess, a native of Helena, Ark., where he got his foundation at the Helena normal school, and from there to Fisk university, where he graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1902; thence to Dartmouth college, where he pursued a higher course. From the schoolroom the young man was then fitted to start life. So right into the schoolroom he went again, not as a student, but as an instructor. There is always a place for a well prepared man or woman. Professor Marquess' first work was at Shorter college, North Little Rock, the same year he completed his work at Dartmouth. Two years he worked at this school, rendering good service and making his mark as a teacher. A man must get a foothold somewhere, so Professor Marquess did not overlook the little things in life, but each opportunity was used to render service for his people. It was in 1906 that he heard the call from Kittrell college and packed up and moved there to continue work, remaining there but two years, when he was extended the call to the Sum- P. A. PROFESSOR J. M. MARQUESS. new high school. Feeling that it was an opportunity to do some real work for his people, Professor Marquess accepted. Taking hold of the school in 1908, he found 178 pupils and eight teachers. "Advancement" was his motto, and soon there was an increase in pupils and teachers. The school now has 247 pupils and twelve teachers, with the prospect of an increase in the number in 1914 and another building. The Sumner high school work has been steadily on the increase from every viewpoint until today it is well equipped. doing work like that of some of the colleges elsewhere. A graduate of this school is accepted by the University of Kansas without examination, also by other schools in Iowa and Nebraska, and it is now in line for such recognition by the University of Chicago. The domestic science department is second to none, and in connection with it is a lunch room seating 120. One of the best teachers in domestic science in the country has full charge, and the girls are rendering good service. Professor Marquess has reorganized the departments of English and physical sciences, bringing about better results, and the department of manual training has been enlarged. One of the features emphasized is the department of music, vocal and instrumental. It is an entertainment at any time to hear the children sing. There are some fine voices in the school. It is the only school in the country for the training of the race with a wireless station, and this is taught the young people, thereby preparing them for a new field. They are kept busy receiving and sending wireless messages. Teachers are trained in the normal trained department, and those who graduate are given the first choice of positions in the schools, starting them in on a salary of $60 a month and working up to the higher position. Thus far every graduate has been given a position. So Kansas is providing for its citizens, and the young men and women through the example of Professor J. M. Marquess and others are inspired to study and prepare for usefulness in life. HOW TO RETAIN PHYSICAL ENERGY MOST IMPORTANT. Summer Solatice In Life Comes at Thirty, Says Dr. C. V. Roman. In an address to the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee not long ago Dr. C. V. Roman, the "sage" of Nashville, Tenn., said in part as follows: "Physical energy is the basis of worldly success, and the primary need of our people today is to conserve their physical force. Our educated people must live long enough to pay back with interest the price of their education. "The college bred man who dies at graduation or soon after dies in debt to society. If he dies through his own ignorance or carelessness he absconds without paying his board bill. He throws away other people's money." "Our successful men must live until their successors are qualified if we are to hold our own and advance. The thirtieth birthday marks the summer solstice of the average man's career. He should have at least thirty active years from that date to make and reap his rewards. "A high birth rate is not a full compensation for a high death rate. The energies of the race are exhausted in merely trying to live, and no strength is left for improvement. How much land could a farmer till if he broke fresh horses every morning? "He could make no headway even if the horses were given him, and a race that loses its prepared men and women prematurely cannot find compensation for the loss in a high birth rate. The drain must be stopped. How? By teaching our people to utilize all available opportunities to improve their physical condition. One illustration will suffice. "Davidson county. Tenn., has built a modern tuberculosis hospital, equal accommodations for colored and white. Although there are more deaths among the colored than among the whites from tuberculosis, there are fewer colored patients at the hospital than whites. "The average colored person stricken with tuberculosis would rather remain a burden to his relatives and finally die than go to the hospital and get well. "To enlighten our people along these lines is a great opportunity. Let us hope that our fraternal leaders may see that 'the good of the order' consists in embracing promptly this opportunity."

Washington, March 17—No more can the American fighting man in Manila walk hand in hand in the moonlight with his brown-skinned, starry-eyed sweetheart, for the war department learned today that Colonel George K. Hunter of the Seventh cavalry has issued an order prohibiting the men of the Manila garrison from appearing in public with native women. The order was imperative and read: "Members of this command are hereby forbidden to be seen in public in the company of native women, except those men who are married to such women." Prejudice, caste and discrimination has, not only, so inoculated and percolated through the white man in America that it's baneful effects can be seen throughout the various American legislatures, but that even in far-off Manila, a selfish, narrow and biased American colonel has seen fit and felt the need to promulgate a vicious order against women of color and attempt to regulate the society of his inferiors by forcing them to crystallize and perpetuate his petty prejudices and caprices. No matter how much character these maidens may have, how worthy or respectable and what their social position or influence may be, yet these soldiers "must not be seen in public in company with these native women." The right of a man to choose his associates is thus abridged and the treatment offered puts a premium upon the white man's rascality, lowers and disgraces the dignity and virtue of the brown and black women, creating a caste which causes enmity to form in the hearts of the natives against the American white man. Such seeds planted in the breasts of these natives, who think, understand and know, can only bring forth a harvest of spite, grudge, rancor and growing hatred against America. Is America sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind? Has not Spain's experience been a lesson to her? Such an order ought to be recalled forthwith. WHAT WILL COLORADO DO? In Alabama recently two white men were hanged for the murder of a colored man. Right here in our midst a colored man is shot down without cause or provocation by a white woman. Regardless of their relation or circumstance it was murder and nothing else. We do not attempt to defend Sears nor uphold him in the least in his reported relations with the woman, but we do want to see the law take its course. It is very noticeable how little the daily papers mentioned it, some even stated that Rose O'Grady was a Negress. Was there ever a Negress or a Negro named O'Grady? No. We saw Rose, and to our vision was presented a white woman of low type, with an evil look, a square forehead and a crooked nose. Sometimes a "Jim Crow" law would do some good, especially if it did not permit the mixing of the races in such dives as this one, and no doubt it would of prevented Sears from meeting so foul a death. Had he been the murderer, an angry mob of respectable white citizens would have stormed the jail and hung him by the neck. As it is everybody seems to pity the woman and no doubt plans and schemes are being made daily to get her free. When the trial comes up the daily papers will no doubt be full of sympathetic stories of a downfallen woman or that a beautiful white woman is on trial for killing a Negro brute. Intermarriage laws will not keep them apart. They will get together legally or illegally and if the legislatures of these United States were to build high board fences in each city, putting one race on one side and one on the other, we venture to say that knot-holes would sell at a premium. The incident should be a lesson to all, and if there is any young Negro that has started on that path we advise him to turn back. C. E. L. Colorado, and Denver especially, needs new men and women, new ideas, new efforts which will make our agricultural, industrial and business thrive.

With this idea in view I have consented to take the editorship of this paper. I have no stones to throw and no ax to grind. I shall tell facts and things as I see them, and if I err, it will be of the head and not of the heart, and I hope I will not be held responsible for that which the good Lord has failed in giving me. I will not play the part of a Judas on a defenseless public through the columns of this paper, and then wonder why the people do not care to take or in any way support the paper. I shall not become a tool in the hands of some political trickster, nor betray the interest of my race for a paltry sum of money and a great promise that will never materialize. I shall at least play the part of a man, and stand up for that which is right. I shall deal fair and square with all, without fear or favor, and draw the line between right and wrong, good and bad, with fairness to it and special privileges to none. Independent in politics, precise and upright in all my dealings, I ask for your earnest co-operation, that I may be as a light that standeth upon a hill, to assist in guiding my race have been oppressed, without their consent, since the days of the first landing of our forefathers on American soil.

Deeds, not words, is a paper's best asset. IT MATTERS MUCH. It matters little where I was born, or whether my parents were rich or poor; whether they shrank at the cold world's scorn, or walked in the pride of wealth secure. But whether I live an honest man and hold my integrity firm in my clutch, I tell you brother plain as I am, it matters much. It matters little how long I stay in the world of sorrow, sin and care; whether in youth I am called away or live, till my bonest and pate are bare. But whether I do the best I can to soften the weight of adversity's touch on the fated cheek of my fellow man, it matters much. It matters little where be my grave, or on the land or on the sea; by purling brook or 'neath stormy wave, it matters little or naught to me but whether the angel, death, comes down and marks my brow with his living touch, as one that shall wear the victor's crown, it matters much.

Dr. Pearl came to Butte with his parents at the age of three years and received his early training in the public schools of this city, after which he took a course in the business college of Butte, but still in search of knowledge, decided to return to his native state, Kansas (having been born in Atchison, Kans.), so he entered the Industrial and Educational Institute at Topeka, Kans. After graduating from there he entered the medical department of Howard university, from which he graduated in the 1912 class. Dr. Pearl has many friends in Butte, who are exceedingly proud of his success, and while we realize that in a great measure success was due to the determination of Frank Pearl, as the doctor is familiarly known at home, yet it would be unjust not to take into consideration the equal determination of Mrs. Davis, his mother, and Mr. Davis, his step-father, to help him through to success, for he was never lost sight of for a moment by them. The Silver Bow Industrial Association, an incorporation composed of colored men, with the following gentlemen as officers and directors: President, L. S. Sheets; vice president, Wm. Birthwright; secretary, H. D. Fagan; treasurer, W. J. Tolliver; directors, L. S. Sheets, H. D. Fagan, Wm. Birthwright, W. J. Tolliver, Jerry Larkins, J. T. Bullette, and John S. Saunders, has begun negotiations for a piece of property at a cost of several thousand dollars, near the business center of the city. There are four houses on the property at present, which the company expects to replace at some future time with a good brick building. L. S. Sheets was summoned Feb. 4, 1913, to serve as a juror in department No. 2 of the district court and has so far broken all records for the number of cases of any colored man that has ever served as a juror in Silver Bow county, having served on eleven cases out of fifteen. But we will have to admit that the venire is smaller than they usually have been, yet there is not a white juror in the bunch that has equaled it.

F. & M. City News We have received during the week many congratulations on our newly adopted form of new service. We are delighted to know that the public is pleased with our efforts and lends encouragement to double our energy. We mean to have the Star a member of each family and to have the old and the young to look forward to its coming. It will contain news of the race at home and abroad and will strive to keep its readers in touch with the North, South, East and West. There are two classes of readers, one that subscribes and reads and the one that borrows and reads. We highly appreciate the former, and to the latter, just ask yourself what kind of paper would that paper be if every reader was just like me. The fact that the paper was late last week, was no fault of ours, the postoffice held it back to let the heavy Easter mails out first. All second class matter was delayed. Roy Nelson put one over on the gang last week by slipping off to Nebraska with Miss Leona Yochum, where they were quietly married. They are well known and well liked and their many friends wish a happy journey over that rough and rugged road. Mr. Graves of Cripple Creek spent Saturday and Sunday in our city with his daughter, Miss Marguerite Graves. He returned Sunday evening. Father Brown, priest, of the Church of the Redeemer, entertained the choir and the Altar Guild at the rectory Tuesday evening. The evening was spent in guessing contests. Prizes were won by Misses Anna and Minnie Gaines, Miss Rosa Bell, Mrs. Langston, Mrs. M. Abernathy, Miss Janice Harris and Mr. Dorrie. Delightful refreshments were served. At a late hour all departed highly pleased. Shirt waist ball May 30. Keep off the date. THE CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM. Stomach trouble, lazy liver and deranged kidneys are the cause of rheumatism. Get your stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels in healthy condition by taking Electric Bitters, and you will not be troubled with the pains of rheumatism. Charles B. Allen, a school principal, of Sylvania, Ga., who suffered indescribable torture from rheumatism, liver and stomach trouble and diseased kidneys, writes: "All remedies failed until I used Electric Bitters, but four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me completely." Maybe your rheumatic pains come from stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Electric Bitters will give you prompt relief. 50c and $1.00. Recommended by all drummers. POND LILY ART CLUB.

Easter Monday the Alpha Kappa gave the most select formal dance that has been given in Denver for years. All of Denver's pretty buds and misses were present. The hall was artistically decorated with one hundred pennants, college pillows and palms, which together with the fragrant flowers and gorgeous gowns of the ladies presented the acme of decorations. Much praise is due these young men who by their efforts are striving to establish a social standing, and particularly to Messrs. Hamlet, Browning, Coleson, Austin and Stamps, who ably assisted Mr. Holmes, the president and organizer of the club. The grand march was led by Miss Edith Baker and the president, Mr. Clarence F. Holmes. The melodious strains were rendered by the Ideal orchestra and were punctured by the shuffling of youthful feet. Mr. J. E. Coleson was floor manager. The chaperones were Dr. and Mrs. T. E. McClain, Mr. and Mrs. Q. Hanks, Mr. and Mrs. I. G. Adams, Mrs. Holder. At 1:00 a. m. machines were called and everybody departed declaring it was the most agreeable evening of her career.

Denver, Colo., March 26, 1913. Editor Denver Star: Allow me to thank you for the kindly notice that you made in your excellent paper last week of my candidacy for the position of auditor in the election May 20th. I appreciate the splendid boost that you gave me. Under the new conditions governing the city elections any person who so desires may stand for election. No more are we compelled to "crook the cringing knee" to party bosses and thank them for the crumbs that they may or may not throw to us. I have entered the race to emphasize the freedom and the independence that the new order of things gives to all classes of our citizens. Whether I am elected or not the record I may make will be of value to the colored aspirants who hereafter may desire to hold an elective office. The coming election will be run on individual worth and personality. Any other Negro in Denver has the same privilege to enter this race or this contest without asking the consent of any person. Negroes in other cities and states have been elected in similar contests and they may be elected in Denver. Please announce that a meeting will be held next Monday night at 1832 Arapahoe street and I would be pleased to see there all who are friendly to my campaign and election. P. E. SPRATLIN. A. M., M.

CHURCH NEWS. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Easter was a great day in Campbell; the attendance was great, the programs were great, and the collection was greater. A good day for God and missions. $52.80 was received during the day. The pastor is about to launch a financial campaign for the indebtedness of the church and for the encouragement of the friends and members desires to state that at no time in recent years has the Lord so wonderfully blessed us in the winter as he has this. The first quarter of last year the trustees reported as received and paid out $75.93; the first quarter in this year, received and paid out more than $538.99. Old debts dating back for years have been paid and the credit of the church re-established in the business world. All this in spite of the fact that the labor conditions are worse than for years. A comparative statement of all the departments of the church will be made soon. Our many sick are in many instances no better than last week. The church prays earnestly for their full and speedy recovery. The pastor will preach all day to tomorrow. Morning subject, "Buy the Truth." In the evening the subject is "Sell It Not." Eight persons were baptized last Sunday. Mrs. White came from Boulder to see her son immersed. There is a great deal of anxiety on the part of the pastor and many members of the church concerning the welfare of loved ones in the cyclone and flood districts. Fervent prayers are ascending for the unfortunate people of these sections. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH The Easter service surpassed in interest any similar celebration in recent years. Our building could not accommodate the audience which greatly enjoyed the program rendered by the Sunday school. As a result of the service the sum of $80,000 was raised for the foreign mission work. At the evening service Mrs. Josephine Straghn, of South America, delivered the missionary address, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Straghn is herself a product of our missionary effort in South America, and is now one of our most successful field workers. The special meeting of the Men's Bible class was a great success. The paper of Dr. Jones was of rare interest and got a grip on the men which will be to their profit. The paper was ably discussed by Dr. Thos-Hazell, Dr. Westbrook, Dr. Bray, Dr. Pope and Mr. Chester Franklin. After the program the men enjoyed refreshment. The morning subject for tomorrow is "Sowing and Reaping." At the evening service the topic is "The Right Use of Our Talents." The pastor will give a series of prayer meeting talks during the month of April at each Wednesday night's service. The topics are as follows: "I Am the Door"—the Entrance to Life. "I Am the Vine"—the Strength of Life. "I Am the Light"—the Guide of Life. "I Am the Bread"—the Sustenance of Life. "I Am the Way"—the Path of Life. These practical talks on life are intended to help settle some of life's daily problems. The public is invited to be present. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBY TERIAN CHURCH 11 a. m. "Food for Thought," or "The Week's Calamities" 5 p. m. "Prayer and Meditation." 5:30 p. m. "Confirmation and Communion Services." The musical program for Easter, which was unquestionably the best ever rendered in the People's auditorium before so large and appreciative an audience, will be repeated in part at both of the services tomorrow. The audiences of white and colored that worshipped at the People's last Sabbath went away perfectly satisfied. The testimony of the white representative of the decorating company was that possibly there was one church (white) whose decoration excelled ours. Unstinted praise must be accorded Mrs. Vera Finney, the originator of the decorating plan, along with her corps of workers, Mesdames Jas. Clarke, Chas. West, Nellie Marchbanks, Sarah McDowell, Misses Arula Cole, Jennie Harris, Messrs. C. A. Clarke, W. Evans, W. T. Fields and J. I. Butler, as well as the board of deaconesses, of which Mrs. Maria Cowan is president, with Mesdames Lucy Hall, Julia Cole and Clara Davis her standpatters. The music, consisting of the Easter carols, solos, choruses and anthems, was faultlessly sung by the choir. The decorations will be displayed until the first Sunday of April. Everybody will have an opportunity to see and judge for himself. The papers read and addresses delivered by Mrs. Jas. Clarke. Misses Alice Morgan and Ethel Burns have been the talk since Easter by those who heard them. The children of the junior choir must be complimented and encouraged for the perfect way they performed their assignments of carols, choruses and recitations from the Scriptures. Tomorrow being the last Sabbath of the Presbyterian year, everybody is asked to be present to enter into the sacred spirit of the confirmation services, also to participate in the com- munion of the Lord's supper, and thus wind up our fourth year's work most successfully. ARE YOU CONSTIPATED? If so, get a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills, take the irregularly and your trouble will quickly disappear. They will stimulate the liver, improve your digestion and get rid of all the poisons from your system. They will surely get you well again. 25c at all drummers. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES Easter festival was observed at Shorter chapel Sunday with the rendition of brilliant Easter music and appropriate exercises at each service. Large crowds filled the auditorium, one person professed a saving faith in Christ and united with the church, and a splendid offering was made for home and foreign missions. The exercise rendered by the primary department of the Sunday school in the afternoon evoked many flattering comments. Many regard it the best in the history of the school. Good for Mrs. Rebecca Glenn and Mrs. Fannie Brown, the two superintendents. The ordnance of holy baptism was administered at both the morning and evening services. Those who received this rite were Brothers Wm. A. Spivey, J. N. Batts, Sisters Zoetta Hodge, Josephine Lowe and Alberta Tolbert. Little Levonia Amy, Helen Spratlin, and Dorothy Elizabeth Jones were also presented for baptism by Dr. and Mrs. P. E. Spratlin and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones, respectively. The membership of Shorter is exultant over the steady progress the church is making, and especially over the growing congregation. This condition has been brought about in part by the splendid service our choir has rendered. This fact was clearly demonstrated in the captivating music rendered both at the morning service and in the grand musical recital at the evening hour. Our spring campaign was launched last Sabbath; 25 clubs made their first partial report. The outlook is bright. The second report will be due April 11th. A report is expected from every club at this time. The Sewing Circle is preparing for a grand bazaar in the near future. The contest for a Negro doll will be a leading feature.

Easter Sunday was fittingly observed at the Central Baptist church, the junior choir of the Sunday school having full charge of the morning services. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. hardy, Mrs. Jackson, Miss Field, Miss Hall, organist, and others on the committee for the beautiful decorations and united effort to eclipse all previous records. And to use the words of some of the old timers, it was the best program ever rendered in Central. Sabbath school took up at the usual time, all teachers and officers being present. The attendance was over 100. The collection was good, nearly $4.00 being raised. The lesson was reviewed by Mrs. Josephine Straugh, field secretary of the Northern Baptist convention, who was a welcome guest. All present enjoyed the review very much. W. A. Moore, superintendent. Central has holsted her flag and is once more in line and with such a leader as Rev. P. D. Price, success will surely follow her efforts. The first missionary program will be given next Sunday, March 30th, at 3 o'clock p. m. Don't fail to hear Rev. Price, and also the Livingstone program given by the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society. Miss N. J. Tyler, president. Remember the union meeting between Bethlehem church and Central this week. Come and help save souls for Christ. Subject, morning sermon, Sunday morning, 11 a. m., "The Fall of Baylon," Isa. 47:1.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary method, 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.

IMPORTANCE OF DOMESTIC ART Hampton Offers Lessons In Many Home Subjects. FEATURES OF THE COURSE. Booklet Containing Valuable Instruction For the Masses In Rural Communities Prepared by Miss Amelia A. Cooke, Issued Free—Demonstrations and Exhibits Given at the Institute. Hampton, Va.—A thirty-nine page bulletin on "Housekeeping and Cooking Lessons For Rural Communities" has been prepared for general distribution in the Hampton leaflets series by Miss Amelia A. Cooke, who is in charge of the domestic science department at Hampton (Va.) institute. "A class in housekeeping and cooking gives the teacher a splendid opportunity to offer suggestions about the personal cleanliness and clothing of the pupil," says Miss Cooke in her suggestions to teachers. The housekeeping lessons cover sweeping and dusting, caring for table tops, lamps, the cooking stove, dish- C MISS AMELIA A. COOKE. washing and soapmaking. General rules for cooking are given in clear cut English. Miss Cooke's bulletin for rural teachers and homemakers contains an excellent collection of recipes that are suitable for families having moderate incomes. Beverages, vegetables, soups, cereals, batters and doughs, eggs, oysters and fish, meats and dishes from leftovers, ples, candies. These are the classes into which the recipes fall. General rules for table setting, rules for waiting on table and dining room etiquette are also given. The final section is devoted to cookery for the sick. An index is printed with the pamphlet and makes possible the finding of all the useful material which Miss Cooke has carefully assembled. The Hampton leaflets are now issued by Hampton institute four times a year. Any twelve may be obtained free of charge by any southern teacher or superintendent. The domestic science department of Hampton institute from time to time arranges interesting exhibits in glass cases so situated as to attract the attention of both students and visitors. The most recent exhibit is designed to present graphically to the students the evolution of foods, and to show visitors the methods and results of the work at Hampton. One case shows raw materials, such as tea, cocon, coffee, pepper and spices. Another case shows oils and lyes used in making soaps of different kinds and many other useful household necessities. A third case contains dried, preserved and canned fruits and vegetables. The last case is filled with the results of class work in the housekeeping and cooking courses and exhibits soap, orange and lemon extracts; baking powder, dry yeast, bread, custard and samples of biscuits shortened with the various shortenings, such as butter, lard, etc. NOTES ON BEN BANNEKER. Southern Colored Man Who Invented Clock Became Well Known Scientist. Benjamin Banneker was born Nov. 9, 1731, near Elliott Mills, Md. In 1770 he constructed a clock to strike the hours, the first to be made in America. From 1792 to 1806 he calculated and published annually Banneker's Almanac. He also assisted Major L'Enfant to lay out the streets of Washington, being quite proficient in knowledge of civil engineering. Banneker was also a member of the French Academy of Sciences, being made a member on the recommendation of Thomas Jefferson, who esteemed him highly for his scientific knowledge and who said in a letter to him askknowledging the receipt of a copy of his almanac that "his race should have an opportunity to vindicate its color." Jefferson was a Democrat of high character. Beaker T. Washington Shows How to Do It Most Effectively. In large sections of the south the parents of most of our rural children are ex-slave folk, whose lives have been spent wholly on the farm, says Booker T. Washington. They know little about proper cooking or proper housekeeping and not much about rules of health. They have no idea as to how a home should be kept. Broken chairs, floors with holes in them, broken windows, leaky roofs, soiled dishes and table linen—all these are about the child from infancy. Seeing this, it early became clear to us at Tuskegee that if we really wished to dovetail school work into the real life and for the uplift of the people something more than the abstract teaching of cube root and the conjugation of verbs must be imparted in the classroom. To solve the problem we hit upon this plan in Macon county, Ala. We determined that to be of the greatest service to the child, to combat his environment, we must not simply provide a special classroom, but must make everything surrounding the child serve as school. As an experiment we constructed a building on the order of our southern cottages, containing rooms for a family and in addition a large assembly room. We then secured a family, in which both parents were teachers, to live in the building. Following this, we made the understanding that every room in that house and everything about the house should be a schoolroom; that the front yard, the back yard, the stable, the horse, the cow, the garden and the little farm adjoining should have their place in the day's schedule of teaching. The dining room, the kitchen, the bedroom, are all open daily to these children, who are shown how to clean and keep them, actually doing the work. The girls of a certain grade take turns in doing the cooking. They leave home in time to prepare the morning meal for the teachers and family. This is served properly in the dining room, which has been set in order by another group of little girls, the aim being that all shall learn the best methods of doing things. All this is done under the vigilant eye of the mother teacher, who is thoroughly competent, having been trained at Tuskegee institute, mastering trades as well as academic work. The girls in the higher classes are taught cooking, but all the girls do gardening, housecleaning and sewing. The boys come more directly under the eye of the man of the house and care for the small farm and do in addition a certain amount of farm carpentry. CARLTON YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Brooklyn Institution's Good Work For Men and Boys. The Carleton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn, recently held a three nights' entertainment from which it realized over $750. The literary program the first night included renditions by the well known Academy quartet and the Y. M. C. A. Guitar and Mandolin club and a magnificent clown drill by boys of troop No. 55, Boy Scouts of America. The program for the second night was given by the Spartan Girls' Athletic club, which has earned a city wide reputation for the high character of the literary entertainments provided by it. The last night was given over to the high school boys of the Y. M. C. A. Spanish club, which produced an amusing farce comedy entitled "Balm For a Wounded Heart." The play was produced in English and was accompanied by superb minstrel features. This institution is striving to meet a situation which exists and is being developed to meet this situation more completely. The branch has a membership of 221 men and is doing an organized work for seventy-five boys. Religious, educational and physical work is conducted successfully for men and boys. Musical clubs, physical clubs, a Bible class, etc., are maintained. Open house is kept every day and evening for men, especially for those who need companionship or encouragement. A fine troop of boy scouts is attached to the branch, and a room is provided for boys in the building. During the first nine months of the present fiscal year thirty-eight meetings for men have been held, with addresses by men who could instruct and inspire. For boys thirty-six meetings, each allowed by a social, have been held. The employment department has furnished positions for 135 men and seventy-eight boys. A handsome new building costing $100,000 is in sight. The committee of management is putting to the fullest use the present building and equipment and asks from the general public support for the maintenance and development of the work. Mr. Rufus M. Meroney of Texas is secretary of the association and Mr. Arthur L. Comither of Brooklyn is his assistant. Sons of Veterans' Annual Reception. The first annual reception of the General Robert Avery camp. No. 145. Sons of Veterans. New York division United States army, will be held at Summer hall, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, April 3. The occasion will afford a merry gathering of military men from many points in Greater New York. Don't Forget to Order a Case of COLUMBINE Telephone Gallup 395 for a trial case LAWRENCE STEPHENS E.

Denver, Colo. CITY NEWS PROF. ALEXANDER'S DUNBAR AT SHORTER. What Shakespeare is to English literature, Dunbar is to American literature. The depths, the subtlety, the profound and philosophical thoughts used by Dunbar in his original poems and poetry make him stand out prominent as a sweet singer of Ethiopia. His "Dirge" is tender, dainty, intense and beautiful, but his masterpiece is "Ere sleep comes down to soothe the weary eyes." When one considers the youthfulness of the heart and hand that penned the poem one is filled with wonder and amaze. The fifth verse is perfect from every literary angle and it is as profound as "hanatopsis" and as musical as "Hiawatha," or any of the standard poems of the world. All of this and more, too. Prof. Alexander showed Monday night in his excellent lecture on "Dunbar" at Shorter church. Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems will never be thoroughly appreciated by this generation. His peculiar style, original character, pure and dialect English, tender and sympathetic regard for humanity as well as forbearance under broken health make him easy the superior of many American writers. He gave his dialect a dignity, a charm and a personality, informing the world what souls and tender feelings even slaves have and how their thoughts and feelings were expressed. The lecture was fine and Rev. Pope ought to be heartily congratulated for having such a benefit for Denver folk. More Negroes will study Dunbar how like they study Shakespeare in order to get the real scenes, the story and the motives that prompted the author to write. His life's struggles are strained through nearly all his 680 poems and when read they move your heart to say, Alas! Poor Dunbar. Come again, Prof. Alexander, we need you often. If you want employment, list your name with Mrs. C. E. Jones, who is conducting an Employment Bureau for experienced cooks, maids and yard men. No charges unless employment is secured.

Hills, 201 California Bldg. STINGERS. The "solid South" is a menace to the political health of this country, and to have a one-party section is to destroy political equality. The equilibrium of practical popular government has been destroyed in the South since the civil war. Yet there are preachers and political wiseacres who say the salvation of the South lies in Democracy. "Lies" is an appropriate word. The Kansas gazook that swore he wouldn't cut his hair and whiskers until a Scrat was elected president and who says he expects to chop 'em off now' that Woodrow has slipped in, had better let 'em grow. He will need them for clothes after the Scrats have rur the country against a snag and busted business all to thunderation. The Kansas City woman who says women ought to be allowed to tend bar would make a hit with the Suffs in England. Over there they're demonstrating their fitness for the bailot by tampering with railroad switches and smashing the government mailboxes. When the horrors of black slavery dawned on America in '60, the patriots raised such a howl that it rang the world. But the South is today enslaved by tyrannical Democracy and the people seem to take it as a matter of course. BEST FOR SKIN DISEASES.
