When the "Choo-Choo" Ttrain Leaves for Tolland, Monday, July 14, Get on Board. The Trip Will Be a Treat
THE DENVER STAR
TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. Number 47
The Negroes at the North, if they had used their opportunities, could have been a mighty force for the uplift of the race. Not only were educational facilities at their doors, but all sorts of assistance could have been secured for their education. There were friendly and generous people who were willing to help every aspiring Negro. But the Northern Negro has taken his freedom in which to have a good time and caring little about the serious situation that faces the race; he has gone forward with his eyes closed to opportunity until his day of grace is passing, if it has not already passed.
We are not unmindful of the cry that may be raised against this statement and the exceptions to this rule that may be pointed out. But the fact, nevertheless, remains, to the shame and the discredit of the Negroes who live at the North that they have not used and are not to this day, using the privileges that are open to them in the best universities and colleges of the land. If we search the records of Harvard, Yale, Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Amherst, Columbia, Princeton and other leading educational centres we shall find that in a large number of cases the Negroes who have taken advantage of the opportunity offered by these institutions have been Negroes who have gone from the South in many instances, green and lacking entirely the finer culture of life, but nevertheless afire with determination and zeal to make good and establish a record for the race.
The Negro at the North needs to awaken and that right early. - Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, Louisiana.
FROM OTHER
In the annual inter collegiate debates this year Fisk University won from Atlanta University for the fifth consecutive time. In the spirited contest with Wilberforce Fisk was defeated. This is the second debate between the latter two colleges, Fisk winning the first, last year at Wilberforce.
'Furlong Tract, a four block Negro section of Los Angeles, Cal., has a property value of $375,000. The personal property valuation is $75,000, making a total valuation of $450,000, worth of property owned by Negroes in this section of the city. The tract has four stores, two churches, a bakery and boasts of many Negro machinists, laborers and contractors.
How He Shows Up in Comparison with His Southern Brother.
Dr. R. E. Jones Surveys the Situation.
The failure of the Negro living in Northern communities to take advantage of the educational opportunities within his easy reach has been commented upon frequently. As a matter of fact the majority of the Negroes who graduate from Northern and Eastern colleges are natives of the South. Dr. Booker T. Washington in his recent observation of conditions in the Northwest remarked also upon this fact, and among other things said:
"For one reason or another the colored people in Washington and Oregon do not seem to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the institutions of higher learning. They are reasonably well represented in the public schools, but one rarely hears of a case where colored persons enter any of the classical colleges, agricultural and mechanical or state universities. After careful inquiry I could discover only nine colored people who have ever graduated from any of the high schools in the state of Oregon. None it seems has ever graduated from any of the colleges in the State of Washington. Here as elsewhere there is a good deal of talk about higher education but it does not seem
to go much farther than talk. It certainly is a mistake for for our people not to enter these higher institutions of learning when they can do so with so little cost. Speaking further of education in the West, in Utah I could discover only three colored persons who have ever graduated from the high school, and not a single one from any of the colleges or universities."
It is regretted that such is the attitude of the Negro in the Northwest. Doctor Washington remarks that one carefully hears of a colored person taking the classical course in that section. Not a single Negro, it seems, has ever graduated from any of the colleges in Washington and only three from the high schools in Utah and not a single one from a college or a university. The Northern Negro, especially the native, looks with condescension upon his brother in the South and boasts of his freedom, but he has not turned his freedom to good account, as the testimony of Doctor Washington shows and is a matter of record in other parts of the country.

Can Religion Eradicate Prejudice?
(Gread before the white Ministerial Alliance at Boulder.)
Gentlemen, Followers of that Christ who died for all, Disciples of an higher destiny than the world usually recognizes:
I have been assigned the pleasurable duty of presenting some thought, fact or copy that would bring forth discussion and be food for future thought: It was to be of my own selection. I deem it an honor, yet approach the subject with mingled feelings of regret and pride. Regret because someone more competent cannot present this important question. Pride because humble as I am, it is my privilege—may I apologize for inflicting upon you at this time a worn subject, one in which you are probably not interested to any great extent, yet, if any of you were requested to write, you would naturally select the subject lying nearest your heart and with which you were, or hoped to become most familiar. Hence my selection.
I wish to place before you for consideration, in the form of a Hypothetical—the relation sustained by Church and Ministry to this all prevailing monster, Prejudice—Racial if you will allow, although tis broader, for it comprises all peoples—The Crime of Caste. It rears its malignant head in every direction. It has grown and flourished as rapidly as Christianity. I ask why? What has been the attitude of the Church throughout the centuries with regards to this issue? Has the Gospel of Christ no power to curb the onward march of oppression and discrimination against a whole race of people? Every evil that creeps by the pulpit of America is at once alive with denunciation. Rigid reformers, strong defenders, in all but this one great evil, which is as broad as the universe, deeper than Hell, and is being flaunted even to the gates of high Heaven. American Christian—America heralded as the land of the free, the home of chivilary. What a farce! Brethren, there is a sore at the heart of this Nation. So infectious that its discharge is like the virus used in vaccination; it permeates the entire country. No section or class, sect nor denomination is free from its clinging folds, for it does entold man's highest and best thoughts. His God-like nature in which true Christ-like love for all God-created men should dwell is distorted. His spiritual eyes are blinded until he cannot see the damage to his own soul and sense by prejudice. A stranger to American institutions would be curiously impressed by the separate and distinct social areas which the two races occupy. Here are two people domiciled in the same territory, vested with equal civil and political rights, speaking the same language, loyal to the same causes and institutions, worshiping God after the same ritual and linked together in common destiny. And yet, in all purely personal and pleasurable intercourse they are as far apart as if separated by interstellar space. Social equality is the shibbolith which divides the races asunder. This slogan, like a savage war whoop, arouses the deepest venom of race, which slumbers only skin deep beneath a thin veneer of civilization. Whoever coined this expression possessed the genius for summarising the evil spirit. The term has no exact legal status but is surcharged with idiotic meaning. As the sight of old glory evokes the patriotic zeal of the loyal beholder, or as the soldier makes frantic response to the alarm "To Arms." So the Tocsin Social Equality arouses the pride of class and wrath of race. The Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule, The Sermon on the Mount, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the U. S. and the genius and tradition of American institutions are held in open defense by narrow, prejudice feeling. We know that every system of oppression seeks to justify itself. Has God decreed prejudice. Brethren? Was that the burden of Christ's message, "Go ye into ALL the world and preach my gospel, teaching ALL MEN what as ever I have commanded you," or was there to be two distinct redemptions. Is not Christian America like unto the Apostle Peter at Joppa? Oh, that the sheet was let down today; that the Christian Church, especially of America, might see that whatsoever God hath touched is no longer unclean. Ministers of Christ, are you seeking ills to cure, wrongs to right? Let down your nets where you are, a cancer is eating the heart of the nation.
And although a Negro, one who feels the sting most because oppressed, yet God gives me to see danger of death and distraction awaiting that people who disregard law and order, Justice and Equity, and in so doing they construct a pitfall for future generations. For as sure as day follows night, our nations are becoming more and more lawless, have less respect for time worn traditions of right living, thinking, and dealing with their fellowmen.
Now my question is, can or will the religion of Jesus Christ which you preach—can it dwell richly in the heart of those who hate their fellowmen? Or is it possible to love God supremely yet hate another man?
Black of skin yet having a soul as much in God's image as you. Susceptible to the divine in-breathing of the Holy Spirit which causes him to vibrate like a highly tuned instrument when touched by a master hand—the chord may not be so harmonious, yet the musical quality is there.
This soul capable of being inspired, transcended, lifted by God's divine power, I ask, is it possible, logical, consistent, to love God and hate him. If Christ hath opened your eyes? Brethren if you doubt my assertion that prejudice exists in every quarter, canvass your several Churches and congregations, see how many can or will say, I have no prejudice,
(To be continued)
Late last Monday night S. W. Green, Supreme Grand Chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias for the United States, was taken from a Pullman car on which he was riding through Florida, by a mob bent on lynching him for persisting in exercising his rights under the law. And but for the effective interference of the sheriff he would have been lynched. As it was he was lodged in jail over night for "safe keeping," and the next morning heavily fined for "violation" of the odious, unjust jim-crow law. Supreme Grand Chancellor Green was heavily fined, but the white law violators who forcibly took him from the Pullman, and who would have lynched him, went free.
In Florida Justice is dead.
As unjust as the jim-crow car laws are in the Southern States they provide for "equal" accommodations for the Negro passenger. In absence of a separate Pullman to accommodate Negro passengers any fair man or court would interpret the law sa to give them the right to occupy the Pullman attached to the train, especially as inter-state passengers, which Mr. Green no doubt wos. The law providing for "equal" accommodations is mandatory on the statute books, but it seems it is optional with the Negro-hating administers of the law.
The colored Knights is an organization with secret signs and pass word, and it is an organization with nearly three hundred thousand members, and with a plethotic purse. if this great organization does not exhaust every resource to have punishment inflicted upon the members of the mob which so roughly and unjustly treated their Supreme Grand Chancellor then that organization ought to abandon its secret signs, grip and pass word; consign its ritual to the flames, and content itself with being a benevolent organization pure and simple, and not pretend to be a "secret" fraternity.
When Negroes of the standing of Mr. Green cannot travel unmolested by a mob, and are fined because of having been molested almost to the point of being lynched by a mob, if the officers of the law will not pursue and prosecute the members of the mob, then it is high time for a Negro secret organization to act.

COLORED OFFICERS IN
HIGH SCHOOL PARADE
Boston's Annual Parade of High School Cadets. On Thursday, May 29th, the High School Cadets had their annual field day and parade. It started at 9.30 and proceeded through the principal streets of the city. There were over 3000 boys in the line.
Among the officers was Lieut. Colonel Malcolm C. Banks, who paraded on the Brigade Staff. He was the senior officer on the staff which was the first one in the parade. When the procession reached the Common a group of officers were supposed to go to Mason street to escort the School Committee to the common. The time for the group to leave for Mason street was past and all the escorts were not on hand. In order to avoid any delay in the parade Banks went to escort the committee with the three other officers, who were all introduced to the members of the committee and escorted them to the common. As soon as the members reached the Common, the "assembly" was blown and the cadets reformed their companies. As the officer who had been detailed as one of those to do this escort duty had now arrived, Lieut. Col. Banks was relieved of his escort and returned to the Brigade Staff. This staff received the School Committee and accompanied them in their inspection of the five regiments. It was an impressive sihgt to see the school committee in Prince Albert coats and silk hats.
After Banks returned from this inspection he stood on the right of the committee officer in arm-striped blue coats, white duck trotsers with glistening sword, beside each committee-man and watched the Cadets pass in review. He is the first Colored boy who ever paraded on the Brigade Staff, escorted the School Committee to the Common, or reviewed the Cadets, or escorted the committee as it inspected the Cadets; in fact he is the first one of our boys who ever held any rank higher than captain.
Through the generosity of Julius. Rosenwald, the Chicago merchant prince and philanthropist, Chambers Clayton, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed, at a handsome salary, to visit from time to time the smaller industrial schools of the South with a view of systemizing and making more uniform their system of bookkeeping.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH.
The visit of Dr. McDonald of St. Paul, secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was a very great blessing to our congregation. His sermon Sunday morning was a delight and a joy; the congregation was refreshed by a baptism of tears. Five persons were added to the church. The stereopticon service Sunday evening was a delightful success. The subject was "Joseph and His Brethren." A splendid audience was in attendance and greatly enjoyed the lecture. The subject for this Sunday evening is "The Parable of the Great Supper." The popular songs, "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," will be illustrated by stereopticon views. Everyone is welcome.
The Men's Bible class, together with Mrs. Over, arranged a very enjoyable birthday surprise party for the pastor at the close of the lesson last Tuesday evening. The pastor more than appreciates such courtesies and is under a weight of responsibility for such kindly response of his friends. The Baptist state meeting will convene at Colorado Springs next Wednesday, where a number of Zion workers will be in attendance. The Men's Bible class is preparing a special programme to close the season's work on the first day of July. Fuller announcement will be published later and it is hoped that all the men of the community will endeavor to be present.

The sermon of Dr. Campbell last Sabbath morning had a timely application both to the children and parents of the church. The Children's Day program in the evening excelled any of its kind rendered in this church. The large audience that listened to it was an inspiration to the participants. Everybody went away amply satisfied. A contribution of over $30 is an index of the interest manifested in the day's service.
The minister not being well recovered from the automobile accident, will not preach tomorrow. Dr. Smith, another of the ripe scholars of the church, will occupy the pulpit. The membership of the church is urged to hear the doctor.
The pastor's instruction class for candidates for membership meets every Wednesday night at o'clock in the study. Interested persons are urged to attend. The 5:30 services tomorrow evening, lasting but one hour, will be a repetition in part of the musical program of last Sabbath. Everybody is invited to attend.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and
Hair treatment is based on the la-
test scientific and sanitary methods,
effecting a healthy scalp thus promo-
ting 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.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MEETS
WIDESCOPE OF THE PROGRAM
Eighth Annual Meeting Held in Queen City of Oklahoma Attended by Thousands—Baptist Ministers' Conference Acts as Reception Committee—Exhibits Center of Attraction.
Muskogee, Okla.—White duck caps, congress pennants, with those of organized Sunday school classes, badges, buttons and flying banners, masked the auspicious opening of the eighth annual session of the Sunday school congress of the national Baptist convention which was called to order in this city at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, June 4.
The enthusiastic Sunday school workers, the hospitable and big hearted citizenship of Muskogee, with the teeming thousands that are joining in the Sunday school forward movement, made the eighth annual session more farreaching in its influence for good upon the Sunday school world than any of its predecessors. The delegates who could take advantage of the special rates for the occasion granted by the railroad companies came from every section of the United States. There were large delegations from Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri, the west and the middle western states. There were special parties, special coaches and in several instances special Sunday school congress trains.
Official Congress Special Train. Notable among those to arrive in Muskogee was the train bearing the officials of the Sunday school congress, with the Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, New York, Florida
A
and Mississippi delegates. It was known as the official Sunday school congress train, and was composed of standard sleepers and day coaches with all of their conveniences. The cars were decorated with long streamers bearing the words, "Sunday School Congress, Muskogee, June 4-9." When the train pulled into the station it was met by the most magnificent reception committee in the history of the new west. This committee, under the auspices of the Baptist ministers' conference, consisting of all of the leading pastors of the city, demonstrated the genuine big heartedness of the people of the west by their cordial reception. Arrayed in congress caps, a chorus consisting of 252 voices, with superb music, sang "Hail, the Baptist Congress," as the train pulled in.
Chairman Clark Opens Convention. The officials were greeted with cheers as they alighted from the train, the Metoka and Galedai yell was given by the organized classes, and then a line of march was formed, which led from the railroad station to the magnificent auditorium, where the first session was called to order. The march songs were "Onward, Metokas and Galedias," and "Christian Soldiers Marching." At the auditorium all-gremlinaries were dispensed with when Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman of the Sunday school congress, said, "It becomes my very pleasant duty to announce that the eighth annual session of the Sunday school congress of the national Baptist convention has been called to order."
After invocation and considerable music from the chorus the topics for discussion were opened. The first subject under discussion was "Interde nomination! Sunday School Organizations, National and International—Their Theoretical and Practical Value."
Many Interesting Topics Discussed.
"There were a balf dozen well prepared papers that were read before the body covering in detail the most important phase of Sunday school work "Why Should the Easter and Church Urge the Organization of Teacher Training Classes?" A more thorough exaltation of the subject could not have been had than was given this one which seemed to strike a new chord in
Sunday school history making. The program for night sessions showed elaborate work on the part of the committee. Demonstrations of the use of various Sunday school periodicals and requisites, with illustrated lectures from celebrated Sunday school experts, noted workers, authors and publishers, were given in the department of exhibits each day just before the opening of the general session, after the close of each general session and after various departmental meetings. Every delegate, visitor or Sunday school congress attendant was most cordially invited to attend these demonstrations and lectures, thus becoming more familiar with the needs, as well as use, of all of the improved Sunday school helps now being put before the Sunday school world.
Muskogee Gives Official Welcome.
The official welcome to the congress,
delegates and visitors by the citizens
of Muskogee was hospitable to a de-
gree which surpassed anything of the
kind on a similar occasion seen in this
section of the new southwest in the
memory of its oldest inhabitants. The
welcoming address on behalf of the city
was delivered by his honor the mayor
of Muskogee. It was broad and libe-
ral and left no doubt in the minds of
the great throng which heard it as to
the sincerity of its author.
There were addresses of welcome and cordial greetings from the Baptist Ministerial union, missionary Baptist state convention, state Sunday school convention, Metoka and Galeda classes. woman's state convention, state Baptist young people's convention, the Business league, the legal fraternity, the Industrial association, public schools, the various religious bodies and the Professional Men's league of Muskogee.
The congress was in session from Wednesday, June 4, to Monday, June 9. The unfinished business of the convention was referred to the executive committee for consideration Tuesday, the 10th, in order to give the delegates and visitors a chance to visit the many points of interest in and near the city before train time in the evening. Secretary Boyd has already received invitations from New York, Atlantic City, St. Louis and Memphis, Tenn., for the next annual meeting of the congress.
General Officers and Head Workers.
The general officers of the Sunday school congress are Dr. R. H. Boyd, director; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman; Dr. J. P. Robinson, vice chairman; W. S.

The Metoka class department is headed by C. W. Boyd, supervisor of schools, Charleston, W. Va.; J. B. Ridley of Nashville, Tenn.; assistant superintendent with Dr. W. H. Crawford and the Rev. A. T.

PHILLIPS ACTS AS MONITOR AT MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Young Physician Recognized For Ability by Tennessee State Board.
By appointment of the Tennessee state board of medical examiners Dr. Joseph Tappan Phillips, a young Afro-American, acted as monitor over the Afro-American applicants at the recent examination held by the board at Nashville, Tenn. This is the first time such a distinction has come to a colored physician.
The decorum maintained was highly commented upon by Dr. W. A. Walbert, vice president, and Dr. C. A. A. Abernathy, secretary of the board of examiners. Dr. Phillips is a Fisk university graduate and during his junior year passed the Tennessee medical examination with a high average, which brought him into medical prominence.
He graduated a short time ago from the Meharry Medical college and has served successfully as an interne in the G. W. Hubbard Memorial hospital at Nashville. Dr. Phillips is a younger son of Bishop Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville, who is also a physician.
Piney Woods Country Life School. The success of the Piney Woods Country Life school, near Braxton. Miss., under the leadership of Professor Lawrence C. Jones, for the past three years has been great in many ways. One reason is because it was started right in the woods, away from anything which would detract attention from the main object of the workers. Another reason is that out of this wilderness Mr. Braxton and his assistants have carved a community of thrift and intelligence. Immediately surrounding the school is one of the finest tracts of farm land to be found anywhere in the south. The school is well attended, and the students are bright, intelligent and industrious.

DENVER’S OPPORTUNITY TO NE.
GRO FARMER.
Colorado's land, vacant and unoc-
cupied, is silently offering opportu
nity to not only the Western Negro,
but the Southern, Northern and East-
ern Negro as well. Her dry climate,
cool nights and pleasant days, with
enough moisture in the air to make
it healthy, is an additional advantage
for Colorado, ‘Then when we are
astounded by the fact that we only
raise 10 per cent—think of it—of the
products we consume, is enough op-
portunity for the proper person to
get a hold of this 90 per cent, of pro-
duction used in Colorado alone. To
‘whom are we paying for this 90 per
cent. production? Could it not be
paid to you as well as to others? Veg-
etables, corn, rye, barley, potatoes,
fruits and other products know no
color line and the opportunity is in
and around Denver for the proper
people. To a man who loves the city
and his “job” for a life-time, these
opportunities mean nothing, but to
a man who means to have something
for himself and his posterity, these
bright outlooks spell success. Ten
years from today the city man will
still make this 6:30 time and have
“his job,” while the farmer is inde-
pendent and comes to town at will in
his new automobile. ,
Deerfield, Colorado, is one place
where the Negro labor will be
sought, and his money from that la-
bor will be spent there or in Denver.
Nickel shows, groceries and dry
goods stores and various other enter-
prises will be put in existence out
there. Who will get in on the ground
floor? There is another place where
one can get a suburban home within
reach of city people, and this is near
Littleton. .A new colony of colored
people just outside of Denyer, in
sight of the Capitol building.
Land bordering on the canal. Some
on creek. All below canal has water
rights, All above can be irrigated by
pumping with very. inexpensive out-
fits. Plenty of building material
near by for concrete work. Soil lays
fine and is highest quality. Plenty
of water (soft) anywhere at 30 feet
near canal or creek. Three miles east
of Littleton, one-half mile to school,
fiveacre blocks, $250 to $600, one-
third cash, long time on balance.
Good title with abstract, 6 per cent.
interest on future payments, 5 per
cent. off all cash deals.
Colorado is full of business oppor-
tunities. Take your choice. It is up
to you to make good and bring the
dollars out.
We notice in the daily papers of
June 3 that suit has been brought
against the railroad in Nevada for
working an engineer and brakeman
over 13 hours, We wonder if they
know how many hours a porter put
in on a shift.
SAFE IN NEW ORLEANS.
Sir S. W. Green, Supreme Chancel-
lor of the Knights of Pythias of North
America, South America, Europe,
‘Asia, Africa and Australia, had quite
‘an experience at Milton, Florida.
It does seem strange that we have
to be so humiliated on account of the
colo of our skin. We are human-be-
ings’ and should be treated as such.
But at that, all things work together
for good and I hope the day is not far
distant when we shall be able to as-
sert our rights in all things, and then
the prophecy will be fulfilled and Ethi-
copia shall stretch forth her hand unto
God.
COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN.
MENT.
Now that we have commission form
of government, it is up to the commis-
sioners to make good, and I hope they
will see their way clear to appoint
some of our people to positions other
than janitor jobs. Some of us are
capable to do anything in the gift of
the commissioners, and I do hope they
will at least give us a chance to make
good. We have done good work in
assisting them to success and one
good turn certainly deserves another.
‘We are only asking for that which we
honestly believe we are entitled to, a
equare deal.

THE PEERLESS TRIO WINS NEW
HONORS.
Messrs. Virgil N. Wolfskill, Morgan
+f. Jackson and Rankford G. Holley,
three singers whose good, classy sing-
ing and keen presentation have won
an enviable reputation for them not
only at the Shirley hostelry, where
they have been singing three years,
but in and out of Denver. In Colo:
rado Springs their announcement
‘meant a crowded audience at the
Antlers hotel and now they have
added Pueblo, Colorado, to their list,
with the opportunity to have gone to
Trinidad for Wednesday night, which,
because of present engagements they
were compelled to refuse. Pueblo
went wild over them and the Chief-
tain commented on them as being a
‘distinct feature, as follows:
“A trio of Negroes, brought here
from Denver ‘for the occasion, pro-
vided entertainment during the inter-
yals when the skit were being ar-
ranged. The trio was made up of
real singers and instrumentalists and
proved no small addition to the even-
ing’s entertainment.”

WALKER-O'BANION NUPTIALS.
Last Saturday night the residence of Mr. Victor Walker on Clarkson St. was the scene of a most beautiful wedding. Miss Irene Ruth became the bride of Mr. Ned O'Banion, formerly of Colorado Springs. The rooms were elaborately decorated, likewise the stairs, with an abundance of smilac, June roses and peonies. A large wedding cake formed the center piece for the dining room table. Before the mantle in the parlor were banked palms and ferns to form a background for the bridal party. Mrs. C. E. Langston, accompanied by Mrs. Westbrook, sang "Because." Immediately after, with the Italian harpist playing Mendelssohn's wedding march, the bridal party descended the stairs. Miss Harriet Russ and May Zelma Stell as ribbon bearers entered first, followed by Ernestine and Josephine McClain as flower girls, dressed in dainty white costumes, carrying baskets of sweet peas. Misses Nellie Eubanks, Marguerite Graves and Edith Baker, all befittingly gowned, bearing shepherd's crooks, acted as bridesmaids. Miss Grace Walker, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. She carried a bouquet to match her gown. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white satin with a tunic and Bertha of Dutchce lace, a sash of the same lace extended down over the long train and finished in a bow and caught at the side with a pearl ornament. She carried a beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley and bride's roses, the only ornament being a pair of diamond ear rings, the gift of the groom. Mrs. Walker wore a costume of ocean-wave blue trimmed in white lace and crystal. The bride's father gave her away and his present to the couple was the family chest of silver. The groom is a Kansas product and a worthy representative of the land of sunflowers.
Father Henry B. Brown performed the ceremony. John Moss acted as best man, Queen-a-Belle Webb carried the bride's train, Curtis Harris and Clarence Holmes were ushers. Many handsome presents were received.

In this positionerted a great influence over the people, who admired not only ty as a teacher and educator, the religious influence which led in the community.
It was Professor Matthews' active work in behalf of the young people of the community that attracted the attention of the superintendent of the public schools of Louisville. After making himself quite thoroughly informed as to Professor Matthews' ability as an educator and manager of school work the superintendent appointed him to the principalship of the Central high school in this city. The new principal has so conducted himself as to win the confidence of both family and students.
When Professor Matthews came to Louisville less than a year ago he was received with open arms. At the reception given in his honor the Rev. C. B. Allen acted as chairman of the committee. The public library was used for the reception. The program rendered consisted of prayer by Rev. E. G. Harris; "Reminiscences of Louisville," William H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist; "The Needs of School," Professor A. E. Meyzeek; "The High School in Relation to Life." Rev. J. C. Anderson; "Our New Principal," Professor J. E. Sinapson; "Our High School. Past. Present and Future," Dr. W. T. Merchant; "Educational Ideals," Professor W. B. Matthews. It was this address that carried him right into the hearts of the people.

THE ADAMS PRIZE DEBATE.

Foreign Immigration South. __
By Miss MARY L HASKELL. -
The second annunl Adams prize de
bate was recently beld at Hampton {n-
situte, the subject being “Hesolved,
That foreign immigration to the Unit-
ed Statés should be encdurnged toward
the south.” The contestants were rep-
presentatives of the Douglass Literary
society, and a decision was rendered
in favor of the affirmative, defended
by the Ddiuglass society.
The earnestness of the debaters, the
enthusiasm of the audience and the
general spirit of competition made the
debate an exciting one. While the au-
dience was gathering the cheering sec:
tions of both societies sang their club
songs and grected the entrance of va:
rious bonorury members and> the ap
pearance of the debaters with cheer#
and applause.
The affirmative speakers, after stipu:
Jating that in fairness the debate wust
take into consideration the welfare of
mankind rather than the welfare of a
single race, declired thut foreign im-
talgrgfion toward the south would! ge
velop agricultural aud indnstrial mter-
ests, would relieve congestion in north:
ern cities aud would improve the char-
acter und intellixence of the laboring
classes by bringing in thrifty laborers
of all races. -
It would decrease the demand for
child labor In the south, would ralse
wages, reduce the cost of living and
would introdnce a spirit of competi
tion and progress. The negative
spenkers in their deduction. of results
emphasized their Uelief that undue
haste in the development of the south
would be to the disadvantage of pos-
terity: that the character of the labor-
ing classes would be lowered and the
cost of living raised: that money
would be sent ont of the country; that
white and colored southerners’ would
be thrown out of work and that other
race problems wonld be forced upon
the already overburdened south,
The affirmative in rebuttal deciared
that immigration has raised wages in
the north and mizht be expected to do
the same In the sonth and pointed out
that the Immigration laws especially.

I have made a special study for three years of all kinds of Scalp Diseases. I first practised it in my own home as I was told to do, and I now find it a wonderful preparation. I cure all kinds of Scalp Diseases, matter what they are. I grow hair on Bald Heads and Bald Temples. I stop hair from Falling Out instantly and from all kinds of Fevers. I also cure Dandrufl, Eczema, Tetter, Pinhead Eczema, Sore and Itching Scalps and many other Diseases of the Scalp. I Grow Hair no matter what kind of ailment you may have. I can prove what I have done in four months' time for my sister, Lillie Page. This is her testimonial:
LADIES:—It is no more than fair and right to all concerned that I tell of this wonderful cure. I have been a sufferer from childhood of Pinhead Eczema. I have been to some of the best scalp specialists, and also some of the best physicians in Denver trying to get something to cure my scalp, and stop my hair from breaking off, but they all failed to do me any good. Mrs. Simpson had then completed her study of the scalp. I then began to take special scalp treatments from Mrs. Simpson, using her Vegetable Salve and Temple Ointment. Now my hair has stopped breaking off and my scalp is cured, and my hair is growing beautifully.
THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY
First Treatment $1.00. Subsequent treatments 50c when they are given ever two weeks for three months. 50c treatments given only at my residence by appointment. No 50c treatment over three months will be given. Children 50c. There will be many other testimonials after these three months.
