J. P. Morgan left written instructions as to how his funeral services should be conducted. In accordance with these instructions, simple ceremonies will be held over his body at St. George's church, of which he was senior warden, next Monday. They will consist of the Episcopal services without any eulogistic address. Three hymns selected by Mr. Morgan—"Asleep in Jesus," "Lead Kindly Light" and the recessional "For All the Saints Who From Their Labors Rest"—will be sung by the combined choirs of the church, and Harry Burleight, a Negro baritone, of whose singing the financier was especially fond, will sing "Calvary."

Mex.—The colored people of this city, by their own request, have a separate school with one of their race as teacher. Some several days ago the regular teacher resigned and a young lady was appointed to fill the vacancy. A large number of the colored citizens protested, claiming that the young lady was one of questionable reputation. The school board did not at once remove her and the parents refused to send their children. The school board threatened to have the compulsory attendance law enforced but the Negroes stood "pat" and claimed that as the school had no legal existence, they could not be compelled to send the children. The matter has been finally adjusted though. Oklahoma City—In the regular session of the legislature which recently adjourned, a bill was introduced providing for a school for incorrigible Negro youth, carrying with it an appropriation of $35,000 for buildings and maintenance. The bill went before the proper committee and was returned with a recommendation that it be sent to the printer. Boley, Muskogee and Brooksville were candidates for the location of the school, but the bill died with the close of the legislature. FOR RENT—Rooms in modern house strictly at reasonable rates.

He realizes that he must always be a live, unknown factor in the state's politics. Judging from the discriminating way he cast his vote at the last fall and spring elections, he plainly demonstrated that he is fully capable and thoroughly competent of best judging his vital interests, economically, politically, socially and industrially. The commission form of government and its results, the problems of the grave and economical questions involved in the selection of the right men for the right places at city hall, the social evil and its attending conditions; all these and lesser questions affecting the general welfare, the negro has been investigating, deliberating and discussing. Long ago he realized that the people's bread and butter is at stake; that the sanctity of their homes had been threatened and the purification of the conditions recently created and discovered in the police and highway departments, must now have his immediate attention. He knows that he can assist by his vote to change these conditions, and is cognizant of the fact that it is the duty of every voter and taxpayer to draw the line between the man who will recognize representative and lawabiding citizens and those who will not, and that he must vote for good men, regardless of their party affiliations. They must be men who will discourage and frown upon strife, suspension, envy, turmoil and dissention and who will turn their efforts and energies to build up Denver first and look eternally to Denver's best interest. He must vote for the man who will encourage capital to make and build industries for Denver and Colorado, because, whatever affects the financial success of our business men affects the living conditions of labor. Standing upon the threshold of an eletuion where there are over a hundred candidates for offices, never has the Denver negro had such a flattering opportunity for the right choice and to act wise, he must think deeply, investigate slowly and carefully, and get acquainted with the candidates, their aims and intentions and future purposes, if elected. From time to time the Star hopes to keep the people informed. NEGRO TOWN The latest census from Boley.

M. C. A. on so short a notice. Only a struggle of three days and the victory was won. Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary, arrived in the city last week, and after a consultation with the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A., the Board announced that a campaign for 200 members and $1700 would be put on. Two armies of workers were organized, the Reds under Capt. S. A. Bondurant, and the Blues under Capt. P. J. Porter. A free supper was tendered the workers Friday night at which there was a line of work planned and the opposing teams started out. All went well until Sunday at the big mass meeting when Mr. Wm. E. Sweet, president of the board of directors of the Central Y. M. C. A., threw down a challenge in which he stated that if the colored men meant business and would raise $4000, he would give $1000 so as to enable them to buy a suitable site for cash and have permanent headquarters and clear of debt. These things happened, Mr. Sweet was duly thanked and assured that his check was gone. Monday night at the temporary headquarters, 2721 Welton St. a supper was tendered the workers and reports made. Mr. Bilheimer, general secretary of the Central Association, delivered a very able and interesting speech and read a letter from Mr. Sweet in which his offer was made final. Mr. Semple, a member of the board of directors spoke very encouragingly to the men and pledged his support. A vote was taken to extend the campaign until Wednesday and put forth a strenuous effort to raise $4000 to meet Mr. Sweet's conditions. Everybody got the spirit, pocketbooks that had been closed since the battle of Waterloo were opened. Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and all laid aside their religious beliefs and dug in, and when the final count was made there was a total of $4838.20 and a membership of 330, with more come. Denver men and Denver women did something; they saw the need of such work, and aided it most liberally, and it wont be long until we will see a trained secretary among us, a handsome building and a place where the stranger that is within our gates may find shelter.

This organization without any question ranks among the world's great musical artists and have sung themselves into the hearts of the people as no troup of this character has ever done. On their previous visits it has been impossible to accommodate the immense crowds who desire to hear them and for this reason the Zion Church will present them to the Denver public at the Auditorium. A vigorous campaign of advertising which is being carried on by the church will no doubt tax the theatre section of the City's largest hall. The admission fee is within reach of all so that no one will be compelled to forego this rareest of all musical treats. Tickets will be on sale next week at the following prices: Box seats, $1.00; Parquet, 50 cents; Balcony, 35 cents. Each box will accommodate a party of eight. As there are only 204 box seats, those who desire boxes should send in for reservations at once, as many have already been engaged. For information, telephone Rev. D. E. Over, York 6007. DIFFER IN OPINION Recently the Atlanta Constitution published an article under the caption "The Truth About the Negro." Edward T. Ware, president of the Atlanta University, answered the article in which he agreed with it in parts, and in well chosen language Mr. Ware pointed out those parts which were faulty. We publish herewith a short paragraph from the answer; Editor Constitution: I have read with extreme interest your editorial, "The Truth About the Negro," in last Sunday's Constitution. Your estimate of the worth of the work of the Negro colleges is peculiarly gratifying to me and accords with a recent testimonial received from a group of influential citizens regarding the work and influence of Atlanta university. There is room for a difference of opinion regarding the comparison which you make of the condition of the Negroes under slavery and now after fifty years of freedom. One unquestionable good result of the combined efforts of north and south in education is the reduction of illiteracy to about 30 per cent among them. Whatever obstacles they may have to meet under freedom as tillers of the soil, it is a significant fact that the Negroes own farm lands and buildings in the United States worth $273,000,000, and that in Georgia they own 15,698 farms, valued at $20,540,910. If in the days of slavery there were better trained and more capable servants, and even if in the better families there material and moral welfare was assured, still it was at best under a system of benevolence, and we all must agree with President Wilson when he says, "Benevolence never developed a man or a nation. We do not want a benevolent government. We want a free and a just government. Every one of the great schemes of social uplift which are now so much debated by a noble people amongst us is based, when rightly conceived, upon justice, not upon benevolence." In defense of the editorial The Constitution of Sunday says in part: President Ware's suggestion regarding the equipment of schools with domestic training and manual arts adjuncts is excellent. The domestic work of the world, and of the South, must and will be done. If the Negroes continue their present indifference in that direction, the work will be done by white people. That they are growing less and less competent in this field needs no argument. Put an "ad" in the Atlanta papers for domestic help, and the response is actually pitiful. Few of those responding can cook, sew or perform any household work with ability, or fidelity. This condition cannot last. Even now white domestics are replacing the negroes. Unless a change comes quickly the day will be on us when negroes formerly discharging these services will be absolutely without means of employment. It is useless to dwell on the significance of that development. If proper equipment could be supplied in the training of this class, not only the negro but the white man would himself be a material gainer. Owing to the length of the two articles, we cannot reproduce in full. Both are very interesting, one stating the conditions and the other offering a remedy. The articles in full can be found at this office. MOORE RESIGNS Hon. Fred R. Moore of New York has tendered his resignation as American minister to Liberia. He was appointed and confirmed during the closing days of President Taft's administration. That statesman is alleged to have remarked that Mr. Moore would no doubt be required to take the next steamer and return home after reaching his post of duty. President Woodrow Wilson has accepted the resignation and we understand that Attorney Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., is there ready to discharge the duties of that office and to take the next steamer outbound for the Liberian republic. A nice furnished room for rent in a modern house.

WHITE INDORSED FOR HIGH POST Keystone State Choice For Minister to Haiti. MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE Friends of Spanish-American War Veteran Strongly Urge His Claims For Party Recognition Upon Grounds of Merit and Qualification—Able Lawyer and Brilliant Scholar. Philadelphia.—Many of the organization Democrats of Pennsylvania have of their own motion selected the versatile and well known Charles F. White of this city as their candidate for the Haitian mission. They are strenuously pressing his claim upon the basis of ability and efficient work done in the interest of the party. Mr. White was born Aug. 5, 1876, in Humboldt, Tenn., where he lived until he was six years of age, when his parents emigrated to Salem, Ill., the birthplace of Hon. William Jennings Bryan. During the six years that his family lived in Salem he attended the public school, and he was also a member of the Presbyterian Sunday school there. It is interesting to note that the pastor of the Salem Presbyterian church at that time was the father of our present secretary of state. Moving from Salem about 1888, his parents settled in Springfield, Ill., where they have since lived and where CHARLES FRED WHITE. young White was graduated from the grammar school. But, eager for training and service, Mr. White attended the Business college in Chicago, where he also joined the famous Ninth bat tailion, Illinois national guard, and later went to Cuba as a corporal in the equally renowned Eighth Illinois volunteer regiment in the Spanish-American war. He is also an alumnus of Phillips Exeter academy, Exeter, N. H.; Williston seminary, Eastampton, Mass., and the University of Pennsylvania, being a graduate of the law department of that university. Mr. White takes a peculiar interest in politics. He has always been imbued with the undying principles of true democracy. His active espousal of the cause in the last two presidential campaigns was the result of a logical development rather than a radical change from any other political party. During the last campaign he was one of the active instruments in the organization of the colored contingent of the Woodrow Wilson Democratic league. This was one of the most efficient organizations in the state, and it was Mr. White's good fortune to be its president. The party leaders who are pressing his claims for appointment know that it took monumental courage and fearlessness for a colored man in Philadelphia to openly advocate Democratic principles and the election of a Democratic president.

Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, in "The Phases of Progress Toward Peace," published by the Maryland Peace society, makes some interesting statements concerning racial adjustment. Dr. Mitchell makes use of the following Biblical incident to illustrate his meaning: "When the disciples came upon the man born blind they, in a speculative mood, asked, 'Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?'—a question typical of the view we once took of the presence of the African in America. "Who did sin—the slave catcher, the slave trader, the planter, the abolitionist or the fire eater—who did sin? How contrary to the disciples' was Jesus' attitude of practical helpfulness toward the blind man! 'Neither did this man sin nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.' "The south is coming to embrace the view that the African is not the Achilles' heel of American destiny and that his presence here is not an accident but an integral part of the purpose of God in bringing that race to share in the common inheritance of mankind If so, the south today in its heroic struggle is tugging at a task of world significance. "This view strings with energy the arm of every man who is striving for a nobler social order here, founded upon justice and the spirit of mutual helpfulness. "There is no doubt as to the crucial nature of this struggle. On St. Helena's island, in South Carolina, there are 6,000 colored and fifty white people "I can point you to a single county in Mississippi which I have known from boyhood where there are 45,000 colored and 5,000 white people. And, more, those 5,000 white people are congregated chiefly at the county seat. In some of the outlying country districts there are only five white men to ninety-five colored. Does any one hold a harder post of duty in Christendom than these few white people, blood of my blood and bone of my bone, who have to officer the labor, to man schools and churches, to carry on government, to project social ideals, to furnish initiative in civilization, and to conserve the gains which it has cost millenniums of human effort to achieve, and which we Anglo-Saxons have inherited? "If the attempt to enable two peoples so unlike in color and character as the Anglo-Saxon and the African to live together on the same soil in the spirit of mutual helpfulness, proves to be the means of developing in both races such moral qualities as forbearance, faith in one's fellows, however lowly, the sense of human brotherhood and steadfast loyalty to justice, even in the case of the weakest, and an unconquerable faith in the capacity of men to grow under the influence of light, social order, and right ideals, the effort is worth all it costs." INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS. How Papers Published by Afre-Amricanns Are Reaching the Masses Teams Are reaching the masses. In reference to the good results obtained by those who advertise in periodicals published by Afro-Americans it is worthy of note that the papers and magazines published by members of the race have maintained their integrity in spite of the wild clamor of race prejudice. They are developing a unique field of exclusiveness in that they are reaching the homes of our people in business and in the professions and uplifting the masses in the rural districts all over the country. It is estimated that fully 320,000 of our people are engaged in the various professions and trades which require training and skill. Over 97,000 are conducting commercial enterprises requiring large capital, and upward of a million farmers live in prosperous rural districts. The weekly race publications reach all of these people, who, during their leisure moments, read thoroughly the doings of the race in every walk of life; hence advertising in papers published by the race is profitable. WORK OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Provides For Two Classes of Social Service Executives. In order to enable promising candidates, who wish to make social service a life work, to secure good training and practical experience for such work, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has made provision for two classes of fellowships—first, for executive supervision, and, second, for training in institutional management. These fellowships are open to those who have made a definite declaration to engage in social work of some form approved by the executive board of the league. Such workers include secretaries of industrial betterment organizations, recreation and playground supervisors, superintendents and managers of orphan asylums, day nurseries, probation secretaries and executives in similar lines of social betterment Candidates are limited to those who have been graduated from a college of standing or have had an equivalent. The fellows get their study and experience in New York city, studying at the New York School of Philanthropy with privileges of some courses at Columbia university and engaging in practical social service activities under the auspices of the National league and in connection with the several agencies of the city. The fellowships in executive supervision afford a cash stipend sufficient to cover for a period of ten months the necessary living expenses in New York city. Tuition is made as a loan. The fellowships in institutional management have been in co-operation with the New York Colored Orphan asylum, where the fellow resides and in which he spends that part of his time given to practical experience. The course of training at the asylum is so arranged that he gets practical experience in the management of all parts of the institution, from the kitchen and laundry to the office and in the receiving and placing out of children. These fellowships furnish tuition, one-half of which is made as a loan without interest or time limit, and one-half paid outright, with sufficient cash to pay car fares incident to study and work. For applications and further conditions of the fellowships those interested should write at once to Dr. George E. Haynes, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 281 Fourth avenue, New York city. LITERARY EFFORTS OF MINISTER AND AUTHOR. Rev. W. N. Holt Completes New Volume of Religious Songs. The Rev. William N. Holt, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Rockville, Md., has completed a small volume containing hymns for use in churches and Sunday schools. It is a compilation of compositions made by the author, along with other hallelujah songs. Mr. Holt has also in preparation a book on the jubilee songs of the race, [Name] REV. WILLIAM N. HOLT. which he will publish as a feature for the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the race. The Rev. Mr. Holt is a believer in race ideals and says the aspirations and achievements of a people should be kept constantly in mind. "The colored people have a rich heritage in their own music," says the Rev. Mr. Holt. "In fact, along this and other lines many members of the race have too little conception of what the race has done and is doing. All of our ideals seem to be centered in other races and their works. The best way, to my mind, to arouse race pride is to show results. "Most all the music used in our churches was written by another race, and the ideals are all of that race. There is no more reason why the musical compositions of our race should not be the chief music of our churches than that our pastors should be white men, as many have been. Race pride may best be cultivated by cherishing that which is distinctly race productions, whether in song, story or history." The Rev. Mr. Holt is a native of Calvert county, Md. He was educated at Zion academy, Anne Arundel county, Md., and Morgan college. Baltimore. He is now pursuing a course of study at Howard university in Washington. He has been a member of the Washington Methodist Episcopal conference for the past ten years and at one time pastored in Baltimore.

CALIFORNIA CLUBS by Miss Matilda Randolph "In reference to Sojourner Truth Industrial Club of Los Angeles, California, I can say I never saw a more enthusiastic club of women working so earnestly, quietly and faithfully for the love and protection and upbuilding of our young women. The object work of the club has been to build a home for working girls and it is meeting with liberal consideration from both races. After several years of hard work, the club realizes that their labor has not been in vain, for this month the contractor turns over to Sojourner Truth Industrial Club the keys to an institution which is equal to that of any white institution of its kind in the city of Los Angeles and which is indeed a credit to any race of people. This institution represents a grand and noble work accomplished by the faithful work of a broad-minded and strongly-united club of women under the most able leadership of Mrs. M. D. Scott." What 'is the purpose of this home and its functions? queried the Star reporter. "The home is rather attractive in appearance and has sixteen (16) rooms, up-to-date and modern, nice light, airy bedrooms, a large, cheerful living room and dining-room; a very convenient kitchen and a very attractive library with the built-in bookcases. This building is well finished, stationery laundry tubs, beautiful hardwood floors and the best of plumbing is used throughout the building. The home is in a good location and convenient to all car service. Single women coming to Los Angeles without relatives or friends will find very comfortable accommodations at the home for reasonable charges. As a club-work, this institution offers to our young women a home undeniational, but with the best Christian influence and educational advantages. The social life of the home will be made attractive with the club teas and entertainments given by the club to be enjoyed by all the friends. This line of work taken up by the Sojourner Truth Industrial Club has been an uplift to our women because when we are doing something for some one else we are helping ourselves. We cannot work together for good and be benefited ourselves without some one else being benefited also. By the means of this club there is now a place where young women can meet and have a social chat and a cup of tea or have a quiet, restful hour in the Library. They will find the different educational classes into which they may enter according to their fancy, and to the young woman without money she can and will find a home of love and protection with the advantages the same as the other young women, all working together, helping each other." Do you teach work, if so, what kind, and with what idea in mind? interrupted the interviewer. "Work! No matter what line of work we are doing, all work is honorable and any idleness is dishonorable. As a race of people we are working people. If we have nothing we must work, and if he have something we must work to keep it. In work there is the constant development of character and womanhood. Work is never a disgrace, but the disgrace comes in the attitude toward the work. What the world needs and our race most needs is womanhood, real, genuine womanhood, and not the young women who are ashamed to make an upright, honest living. Encourage her rather than discourage her for the true, upright, honest, virtuous women are needed on earth today more than angels are neged in Heaven. Woman is a mighty power, "God's noblest work!" It is woman who must help and exalt woman in the likeness of her Maker, lifting as we climb, "as is being manifested in the spirit, action and occasion of the Los Angeles Sojourner's Truth Industrial Home.

Rollins by School Board at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College—Bank Cashier and Devoted Churchman. Prairie View, Tex.—Texas is full of opportunities for the young colored men, and they are taking hold of them, and one by one, step by step, they are going to the front and are making good use of them. From the institutions of Texas some able men and women have graduated, and the state is recognizing the ability of its boys and girls by pushing them to the front. Foremost in this is the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial college in this town. Among the prominent men turned out and filling a prominent place right in the institution is Professor Wade C. Rollins, who is an example of the possibilities of the young men of today. Professor Rollins was born in Richmond, Va., but has spent most of his life in Texas. He attended the public schools of Galveston, where he got the foundation on which he has erected his manhood. With a good foundation and well prepared he entered the schoolroom as a teacher. He taught for five years in the public schools of Texas and then was elected to a position in Prairie View, where he remained for five years. In this position his ability was recognized by the members of the board, so that when it was decided to appoint a member of the race to the position of treasurer of the college to represent the state Professor Rollins was selected. During the past five years in his present position Professor Rollins has given entire satisfaction, and he is from time to time offered other impor- J. B. PROFESSOR W. C. HOLLINS. tant positions. He is connected with many enterprises for the advancement of his race. He is one of the directors of the Farmers' Improvement bank, located at Waco. He is the cashier of the College Bank and Trust company, Prairie View, handling large sums of money for the community, students and teachers. In this connection he is also agent for the Wells Fargo Express company and is one of the few members of the race holding such position of trust. He is devoted to his church and is a lay reader in St. Augustine Episcopal church, Galveston, Tex. He is also connected with the Odd Fellows and Masons of the state of Texas, and is a life member of the Texas Negro Business league, also a life member of the National Negro Business league. Among the young people of the state Professor Rollins is a favorite. He believes in the possibility of his race, and is constantly doing something to encourage the young men and women. No man has ever appealed to him for help while trying to get an education and was turned away unaided. Surrounded by his wife and five children, when he is not on duty he spends his time at home. He shows what a man with ambition, industry, honesty and reliability can do in this section of the country, and that a man who has push and ambition is likely to win success. To Our Correspondents. Owing to our want of space in both the advertising and news columns, we are asking that only society and other important news be sent hereafter. We trust that strict compliance with this request will be given.—Editor. From Out of Town. LARAMIE BRIEFS. Rev. Hill underwent an operation for fatty tumor last week.

The executive board of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction held a most interesting and profitable meeting at the residence of Mrs. S. B. Jones, 319 E. Cimarron street, Friday, beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning. Two new clubs were accepted and a number of recommendations made. The meeting was very harmonious and well attended. A splendid dinner was served at the home of Mrs. A. L. Whittaker by the City Federation, of which Mrs. Mattle Fox is president. Mesdames Macon, Gudgell and Douglass, who had charge of the dinner, deserves much credit for their excellent service. The DuBois Club met with Mrs. A. L. Whittaker Thursday afternoon. A series of new thought lectures are being given by Rev. Tillman at the close of each meeting. They are arousing much interest among the club members. "The 20th Century" held its meeting with Mrs. Rose Moore Thursday afternoon. "Gertrude Wheeler, M. D." was creditably presented by the Girls' Club at Payne Chapel last Tuesday night.

Cincinnati. One of the greatest agencies now at work for the development of the Afro-American folk is the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church. This great denomination gives a fair opportunity to Afro-Americans. It stimulates ambitious men of the race who have the ability to become leaders in the affairs of the general organization and its work. The Freedmen's Aid society of this church is controlled by the board of managers, a representative body, consisting of five bishops, twelve minis- P. A. PROFESSOR R. B. M'RARY. ters and twelve laymen. They are elected quadrennially by the general conference. The broadness of this church is also exhibited in having two Afro-Americans as members of the board of managers, one minister and one layman. One of the co-ordinate corresponding secretaries, of whom there are two, is also an Afro-American. The Hon. R. B. McRary of Lexington, N. C., a scholar, capitalist and the grand master of the Free and Accepted Masons of the jurisdiction of North Carolina and a man of great strength of character and exceptional executive ability, is the lay member of this important board. The strong attestation of the church's appreciation of the worth of this splendid character was the re-election by the general conference in Minneapolis in 1912 to the present office he so creditably fills. Professor McRary was first elected at the general conference in 1908 and has created a greater interest in behalf of the race in the church's educational activities. The appropriations for education among Afro-Americans has been increased, and the sentiment created by the Hon. R. B. McRary means much in the general advancement of the race. The importance of the position held by Professor McRary and the far-reaching effect of his character are felt for good in many ways. There are twenty-one schools for the race in the south carried on under the auspices of the Freedmen's Aid society-viz. one theological, three medical, ten collegiate and seven academic. Among these are the following institutions with nation wide reputation and thousands of graduates working for the uplift of the race: Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, which is the largest theological institution for colored men in the world; Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn.; Clariflun university, Orangeburg, S. C.; New Orleans university, New Orleans; Sam Houston college, Austin, Tex.; Morristown Normal and Industrial college, Morristown, Tenn.; Morgan college, Baltimore, and other well known institutions in various parts of the south. This powerful system of schools was started the year of 1860, when the race had just seen the light of freedom in every part of this country. Today there are enrolled in these schools an aggregate of 6,610 students and 465 teachers. FREE! FREE FREE We are the largest manufacturers of colored people's hair.

Owing to the discrepancies found in the business transactions of the Denver Independent Pub. Co. and the books kept by the retiring management while acting as editor and manager, we are compelled to appeal to all patrons holding receipts for job work during the years of 1911-12, and until March 15, 1913, for their immediate return. All subscribers, both foreign and local (especially the foreign) in appeal to send said company ALL old receipts given by or under the retiring management. In order that no future attempts to collect receipted bills and paid accounts may be made, and to save all further complaints, embarrassments and business entanglements, we will issue duplicate receipts in their stead promptly, giving full credit and acknowledging the same.

Hazell is making a special effort to satisfy some unsatisfied literary lights, as was evidenced in his audience Sunday morning when he gave the first of his series of sermons, namely, "Rise of Slave Traffic," "In the Gall of Bitterness and in the Bond of Iniquity" and the "Aftermath." The reverend has taken peculiar grounds, judging from his unique argument he made Sunday. One who hears his sermons wonders if his logic, facts and illustrations are true. Go and be your own judge. Owing to the increase in the cost of producing this paper, the Star on June 1st will charge 50c for three months or $2.00 a year or $1.50 cash paid in advance for a year.

Phone Main 7702 608 14th St. DENVER, COLG The celebration of the emanctpation proclamation by the Afro-Americans at Rocky Mount, N. C., recently was the greatest event in the history of that section of the state for some time. The orator of the occasion was Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh, N. C., one of the leading public spirited citizens in the country and one who has spent much of his life for civic, political, eco- nic, social and spiritual uplift of his people. Hundreds of successful farmers were present, and many other workers in the rural districts who could not procure conveyances walked to town and celebrated in true style the greatest event in the history of the American Negro. Colonel Young is regarded as one of the most practical and forceful speakers in the south. He accepted the opportunity to touch upon the everyday affairs of the people to whom he was speaking, and the ovation tendered him was significant. Throughout this county since the emancipation celebration there is in evidence a desire among the people to better their condition. The farmers that have not improved their methods of doing business and those who have always kept a mortgage on their farms are striving to better their condition in this particular respect. In all there is a general revival of pronounced interest in the real phases of racial unfit. Residence 517 26th St. Phone Main 8482 DENVER, COLD.

The “Poro” preparations used in con- nection 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 com- position that bears that name, Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of *“P ORO,” it will continue to do so if only thescalp and hair be keot clean. This san- itary method o. 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, For treatment, call on or address: MRS.

Influence of Hampton Institute Upon Natives on Dark Continent. “For Unkuluniculu’s Sake” ts the title of a little four act play which presents vividly und sympathetically present conditions in Africa and outlines the possibilities of improving African life. ‘This sketch of African life has been worked out with considerable skill by Allen H. Gates and has been received heartily by white and colored people alike who recently saw it presented at Hampton institute by some native Af- ricans and American Negroes. ‘The first act shows the home lffe of an African chief in Liberia, surround- ed by his five wives, An announce- tent of the approach of Europeans is the signal for a war dance by the sud- Genly assembled warriors. , The second act pictures the witch trial of one of the chief's wives for theft, in which the witch doctor by a smelling out process discovers the gullty person to be a warrior. to whom he {s about to administer poison when two European traders enter. ‘The traders exchange rum, clothing and firearms for ivory and Gnally succeed in getting away with considerable of the chief's property while he is in a drunken stupor. ‘Act three shows the same kraal in a state of semi-civilization. The witch doctor announces that one of the chief's warriors, who les ill. will die unless the chief will cousent to sacrifice to the gods his son and heir. The boy is led forth to be slain, but a mission- ‘ary enters and cures the warrior through the aid and power of the great god, Unkulunkulu, and the young prince ‘is spared. | The missionary teaches the Africans about the character of Unkulunkuln. showing them that he is « god of love and not of hate and anger. The chief decides to send his son away with the missionary to America to study at Hampton institute that he may come back and teach his people more of the American's God and of Christian ivi lization. Act four shows a little Hampton to Liberia, where different tradex are be ing taught the boys and gitlx by sous and daughters of Hampton.

Political offices, the pro- fessions. mercantile enterprises and the Ike furnish the most profitable kinds of employment for the majority of them. ‘The vast majority of the colored peo- ple are farmers. For a great many years they used old and crude meth- ods. This was due to a low degree of intellizence, and, like all illiterate peo- ple, they did not possess the necessary insig' for initiative along new and progressive lines. Imitation rather than vught was at the basis or their farm ‘methods, and the model was a heritaze of antebellum days. How Shallow Plowing Hinders Growth. Asi\le from the evil effects of shallow plowins, there was left at the bottom in the middle of the seed bed a bard. unbroken strip of soil. This worked evil the growing plant at the time when | needed loose, pulverized ground In Which to perfect its fruitage. ‘This was especially true in the case of Aaron: These evils, coupled with that of planting the same crop on the same plot of ground year after year. made the soll very unproductive. Twenty-one years later, in 1912, -many «and conspicuous were the chanzes which had taken place. A new generation had grown up. This new ceneration was better dressed. somewhat better housed. better fed and possessed a higher dezree of in- telligence, as evidenced by facial ex- préskion and deportment, than that of twenty-one years aco. | The chanze was even more marked. however. in their farm conditions, Many of the old hillsides which bad formerly grown a stalk of cotton with only three or four bolls were covered with a rank growth of cotton. Large ears of corn were hanging from strong. healthy cornstalks. Influence of a Mississinpi School. The Mississippi Agricultural college, at Starkville. was the cause of this upward trend. The college employs a number of colored men to work on the college farm. Working as they must unig the direction of a trained agri- culturigt, these men learn through do- ing many vital principles of effective farming. They eventually start up farms of their own and thus carry with them the experience gained un- der trained teachers. Their success in the community where they live be- comes an object lesson to the neigh- bors around. Many progressive colored persons | have Wearned from this college the |-valoe and the method of raising their ov work animals. cows and hogs. | One farmer makes a specialty of rais- ine fast horses. blooded cattle and a fine breed of hoses. He ships Poland China pigs to all parts of the south at |n handsome price. His horses bring ] hicher prices than most others in the county, He also raises and sells in | small quantities and by the carload alfeifa and Jobnson hay grass and | tine varieties of seed corn. \ college for white boys has inspir- ed ond positively helped this county. | A spirit of sympathy and good will | has shown itself in conduct. Who | csn foretell the good that would re sult from similar efforts by the me- jority of the southern colleges for white boys? | let us hope that this will come |aeot through the recent beginning of | the Seelal study of the colored race by two of our greatest southern unl- versitfes and throngh the zeaious ef- forts of men like Dr. Weatherford to Jaw aken the consciousness of the southern white students to the needs of thé colored. people. This would hasten the moral, social, economic and physical regeneration of the masses to the advantage of both races. Ee aS 8 a ieee Le Pa eee LAWRENCE STEPHENS E. T. HOGAN Tole.

Denver, Colo. CITY NEWS DENVER'S STARS SHINE BRILLIANTLY AT FEST. Amid the Air of Congeniality and Beautiful Costumes, Miss Jennie Hicks and Mesdames A. A. Waller and Lillian Jones Triumphed. Society Turned Out En Masse. Thursday night at Shorter church happened a potpourri of memorable literary and musical incidents, the like of which had not been produced in the past ten years in this city. Our own Denver girls whom we know and love and for whose future we have the greatest hopes and brightest wishes, were heartily greeted with a crowded house almost to standing room. Enthusiasm, good feeling and a keen interest were perceptibly noticed by all present. The music fest, initiated and planned by Mrs. A. A. Waller, the artistic painter, was designed to call especial attention of the public to our Denver talent which was laying dormant and needed support and encouragement; also to further show Denver folk that we have unknown pearls and opportunities within arm's reach, not only in painting and art, but also in music as well. And that we need not, at all times, in our ardent desire to get the best, go to distant cities for bright gems, as we may at times overlook our own. Miss Hicks, pleasing and so birdlike and true in her higher registers, clearly proved that her three years of musical training at Fisk University had been effective, and while Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Waller were in a class to themselves, as they had practically no musical training except what the Denver choirs and musical clubs afforded them, yet in the contrast they showed up well. All of them developed a quality of voice upon which, if future training is followed, the much building can be the staceato polka, as sung by Miss Jennie Hicks, demonstrated accuracy, clearness and flexibility of her voice, while in Burleigh's "You Ask Me If I Love You" and "The Rose and the Bird" were romantically sung and well interpreted by her. Mrs. Lillian Jones was her best in "Anna Bolena" and "Will of Wisp" and her deep contralto voice was shown up to perfection, but the audience nearly went wild with the rendition of the Negro folk song, "For Your Mammy Loves You Jest de Same," as shown by her repeated encores in response. The duet by Miss Hicks and Mrs. Jones, "Love Shall Guide," was charmingly rendered and heartily enced. "Cupid and I," sung by Mrs. A. A. Waller under difficult circumstances, exhibited her emotional trend with a full resonant tone of sweetness, rythm and harmony. Mr. Geo. Morrison's solos, one of which was 17 mastered pages rendered from memory, "Beethoven Minuet," a court scene, was so plainly illustrated in the mind's eye that one almost saw the English ladies with their staffs doing the fancy dances with the greatest grace and ease. Mrs. Mae Hinkle's reading was up to her own standard and was ludicrously rendered and enthusiastically received. "O Hear Me" by the trio, Messrs. W. A. Jones and Waller and Mrs. Waller, was a distinct feature and very acceptable in its rendition. Miss Vera Ward, the accompanist, deserves much credit for the success of the musical tenor, very materially assisted the Azalia Hackley Choral club in the Azalia Hackley "Miserere." The choral club felt proud to receive the services of Mr. Jackson, which added to the occasion. The choral club acquitted itself admirably, bringing to a close one of the best musical recitals ever given in this city. A crowded house was assured weeks before the entertainment because of the great advance sale of the tickets, which entitled the purchaser to a lovely picture painted by Mrs. A. A. Waller. Over 300 were painted and given away. The Star feels proud of the success, of the generous response in accordance with its request, and of the general good impressions, which it will leave behind for others to go and do likewise. The financial feature was very encouraging to all. The public has generously responded to their first call and now their future success depends alone on their own efforts.

Neglect may lead to dropsy, kidney trouble, diabetes or Bright's disease. Thousands recommend Electric Bitters as the very best stomach and kidney medicine made. H. T. Alston, of Raleigh, N. C., who suffered with pain in the stomach and back, writes: "My kidneys were deranged and my liver did not work right. I suffered much, but Electric Bitters was recommended and I improved from the first dose. I now feel like a new man." It will improve you too. Only 50c and $1.00. Recommended by all druggists. Rev.

COUGHS AND CONSUMPTION. Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she would not be living today." Known for 43 years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and $1.00. Recommended by all druggists. ```markdown ``` Merrigan Associations Parlors 1830 G. M. HAMPSON, Vice-Pres.
