Quincy, Ill.—After masque-rading as a man for sixty years and serving as a soldier in General U. S. Grant's army during the Civil War "Albert" Cashier, whose sex was discovered at the Soldiers' Home recently has been committed to an insane asylum. The woman was born in Ireland 73 oears ago. She came to America as a stowaway, clad in boy's clothes. When the war between the states broke out, she having continued to represent herself as a male, enlisted in Company G, 95th Illinois Infantry. She participated in some of the bloodiest battles of the war and behaved with gallantry. When the war closed she resumed civil life as a workman until age and the results of exposure during the war made her helpless to support herself. She then entered the Soldiers Home, where her sex was discovered while she was under the care of a surgeon. She refused to tell her family history. Negro Principal for Alantic City School. Atlantic City, N. J.—The Atlantic Avenue School, the only school in the city attended exclusively by Negro children, will have a Negro for principal, is the wishes of the Negroes of the city are considered favorably by the Board of Education. The ministers of the city churches, members of the Ministers' Union, at their meeting last week, passed a set of resolutions requesting the board to appoint a Negro as principal of this school, and the resolutions were signed by practically all the ministers. It is reported that the board has under advisement the carrying out of this idea. Prof. W. Bruce Evans, former principal of the Armstrong Manuel Trainingschool Washington, D. C., was in Atlantic City a few days looking over the situation, making the visit by invitation of a prominent official of the board. If the change is made it is probable that Mr. Evans will be appointed. This school was originally presided over by a Negro principal, but because of certain conditions the board dismissed him and appointed him and appointed a white man as principal. Several of the ministers preached special sermons to their congregations in the effort to generate a city-wide interest in the movement. State historian & Natural History Society Drew Equals Best Record New York City.—James E. Sullivan, secretary of the Amateur Athletic union, on Saturday made public a letter from William Unmack, vice president of the Pacific coast association, in regard to the record recently made by Howard Drew, the little Afro-American sprinter who formerly ran for Springfield, Mass., high school. Drew is now a student at the university of Southern California. In a dual meet at Berkeley, Cal., on March 28, he won a 100-yard dash and was timed in 9 3-5s. Mr Unmack says that Drew beat Bradley, who is a consistent 10 1-5 man, by six yards, that there was no wind to hinder him and that the start was perfectly equal according to the rules. The record committee will undoubtedly allow it as a new mark. Drew's new record eqnals that made by Dan Kelley.—Gazette The Mayor of Boston has ordered that all discrimination against Negroes in municipal gymnasiums, baths, etc., must be stopped.—The Crisis As indicating that the Negroes of Washington, D. C. are awaking to the necessity of establishing business enterprises, and patronizing race establishments, it is estimated that in the last two years $20,000 have been invested in business establishments in U Street alone, from 9th to 14th Street. Printing shops, cafe, tailor shops, drug stores, barber shops, cleaning and dyeing, haberdashery, picture framing, shoe store, jewelry store, millinery store, cigar stand and photographic establishments are some of the Negro enterprises which now line U street. The Industrial Saving bank, the new banking institution recently established in Washington, was lately examined by the government Bank Examiner and complimented by him on its excellent condition. The receipts of the Post Office at Mound Bayou, Miss., over which a colored woman presides as postmistress, and which town is an exclusive Negro town, indicates the progress of the town. From March 1912 to March 1913, the receipts were as follows: Money orders issued, $67.776.22; Fees $539.40; On Postal Account, $3,607.44; Sale of Stamps, $3,337.51; From Newspapers, $41.88; Box Rents, $227.50. In the Postal Savings Department certificates to the amount of $343 were issued. The Postoffice receipts of a city or town indicate how live it is. This being accepted as a criterion, the Negro town of Mound Bayou is very much alive. Fought Like A Hero. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1914 Five Points Ablaze With Easter Fashions and Splendor. The observance of this day of peace, sunshine, life and happiness by the Denver folk was more noticeable this year than ever before. The day was beautiful; not a threatening cloud and the air was warm and inviting. The day ushered into our bodies, tired of the wintry blasts, a springtime of new hopes. new ambition and ardent fires for future success and achievement. To the careworn if brought flowers, ferns and Easter lillies of happiness and life and to the spiritual minded the faultless day offered a time for encouragement and spiritual enlargement of the soul of the believers in Him, who has and gives everlasting lite. The observance and honoring of this day with its attending festivals and powerful suggestions of good has filled and blessed the hungry souls of men for over 1900 years. So great has been its influence that the Easter spirit in the churches touches and shapes all phases of humanity in due recognition of our beloved Saviour. It is a gala day in fashions, splendor and merriment among those who express their silent reverence through those manifestations. Five Points in Denver, our Broadway where the colored promenade and stroll, was the scene of much displaying of the latest fashions Sunday afternoon. Young misses, married ladies and old maids with their escorts and some without escorts, were on dress parade. Many of the latest beautiful gowns with the New York creations and Parisian effect and gracefully exhibited themselves in the Barnes Hotel, Little Savoy, Rice & Rice and Oklahoma Cafe, taking in all the places where the hungry crowd feasted galore with their inquiring eyes. The significance of the Easter day should show itself in the beauty of the Christ idea in our deeds and daily thoughts, lifting our dead bodies to higher, nobler and better planes as we journey through the year. All the churches of the city observed the day most fittingly. Annapolis, Md., April 10. A plea by the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes for the uplift of the colored of Southern Maryland, a strong stand for the abolition of the saloon and a protest against race discriminatory legislation are among the features of the fifty-first annual session of the Washington M. E. conference, which opened at Asbury M. E. church last week, Bishop Earl Cranston is presiding. Rev. Hughes pointed out that the Negroes of Southern Maryland are largely of Catholic persuasion, that the denomination "Jim Crow" them at religious service, and that practically nothing is done for their moral and mental uplift He also scored the poor school facilities and the existence of the saloon in that section. The conference was attended by ministers and laymen from the Western Shore of Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, along with a number of general officers. Financial Board Holds Session. Washington, D. C., April 11 The annual meeting of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. church was held Wednesday, at which time Secretary John R. Hawkins made his second annual report. Bishop H. B. Parks presided. $80,000 For Negroes. St. Louis, Mo.—Gov, Major of this state recently appointed an entire new board of managers for the industrial home for Negro girls near Tipton, Mo. The board is compose altogether of white person. The old board appointed by Gov. Hadley, was composed altogether of white persons. Plans have been adopted for a new building, which when equipped will cost the State $80,000. Was Founded by Peter Paul Brown Forty-seven Years Ago. Brooklyn.—One of the most interesting events among the secret societies in Brooklyn recently was the annual thanksgiving sermon to the Order of Moses held in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church. The sermon was delivered by the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole. The members of the various departments of the order were out in large numbers and in full regalia which added charm and beauty to their appearance as they filed into the aisles of the spacious edifice. The exercises of the order were conducted by Joseph E. Matthews, who was master of ceremonies. The program was highly interesting especially to those persons who had never before seen such a program carried out by a large secret organization in a public place of religious worship. The statement giving the purpose of the order was read by Arthur Q. Martin, one of Brooklyn's successful business men. Mr. Martin said that the order of Moses was founded forty-seven years ago by Peter Paul Brown in Morristown, Pa. He also gave the figures showing the benefits derived from the organization by a financial member. The sermon by Dr. Cole dealt largely with the history of Moses and revealed much helpful information to the members of the order and also to the public. Dr. Cole said that the order occupied a different position from that of many of the secret societies because it was founded by a colored American and had been successfully conducted by members of the colored race in America for forty-seven years. The Student Volunteer Movement. The various educational institutions among Afro-Americans generally and those in Atlanta, Ga., in particular are showing much interest in the coming convention of the student volunteer movement, to be held on the campus of Clark university in Atlanta, beginning Monday, May 18. The program will be conducted by Dr. John L. Mott. Special Announcement On account of the illness of Mr. Hutton, Mr. Moorland could not get to Denver in time to open the Y. M. C. A. campaign on Sunday, April 19th. For this reason the committee has decided to postpone the campaign until his arrival, which they think will be during the coming week. ORIGIN OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES Result of Measure Passed by Congress In 1862. KNOWN AS THE MORBILL ACT Growth of Educational Institutions Organized Under Name of Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. Senator Morrill's Good Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The Negro Land Grant college is the outgrowth of the congressional land grant act of 1862. This measure was introduced into the United States congress by the late Senator Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont in 1857 and finally passed in 1862. The bill granted public lands for the founding of state colleges to teach agriculture and the mechanic arts and allied subjects and is known as the Morrill act. An additional grant was made by an act introduced by Senator Morrill in 1890, which provided that in each state and territory in which separate schools were maintained for white and colored youth an equitable distribution of the fund be made between the two races. The act carried with it an appropriation of $25,000 a year from the federal P. government. In 1907 a similar act was passed by the national congress, appropriating an additional $25,000 yearly to each state and territory. The act requires that the states receiving the benefit of this appropriation provide ground and buildings and keep up the repairs of the institutions. The money appropriated by the federal government may be used to pay teachers of mathematics, science, English, agriculture, the various mechanic arts, commercial subjects and domestic science and arts, but no part of the appropriation may be used to keep up repairs. The spirit of the act is to require the states to do their part in the interest of agricultural education. Potent Factor In Work of Education. It has done more than any other agency to awaken a general interest in agricultural education, throughout the United States and to stimulate the southern states to provide scientific education for the Negro youth. According to the report of the commissioner of education for 1912, these schools received from the federal government $245,518 and from their states $270,650, a total of $516,168. They had a total enrollment of 5,099. The land grant colleges are organized under the name of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. This organization meets annually in various portions of the country. The membership is open to all the land grant schools of the country. In the last few years representatives of the Negro schools have attended in good numbers. In 1911 these Negro representatives organized a special conference among themselves at the meeting held in Columbus, O., at which time they were addressed by Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, and Hon. W. O. Thompson, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. The meeting of this special conference was held on the campus of the Ohio State university. In 1912 the Afro-American representatives met with the association in the Piedmont hotel, Atlanta, Ga. They held a special conference at the Atlanta university, where they were addressed by such distinguished educators as J. E. Stockbridge, editor of the Southern Ruralst, and President Kenyon L. Butterfield of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. In 1913 the Association of American Agricultural Colleges met in the New Willard hotel, in Washington. There were present representatives from nine states. The special conference of the Negro representatives was held in the Young Men's Christian association building. Among the distinguished speakers at this special conference were Hon. P. P. Claxton. United States commissioner of education; President W. O. Thompson, chairman of the executive committee of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes fund board; Bradford Knapp of the United States department of agriculture; President J. S. Wilkinson of South Carolina, President N. B. Young of Florida and President G. P. Russell of Kentucky. President Byrd Prillerman of the West Virginia Colored institute presided at this meeting. Professor Prillerman has shown great interest in the work of the land grant schools, and his fellow educators have shown their appreciation of his ability and worth by electing him to preside over their deliberations. He is doing a fine work at his school in West Virginia, which has a large enrollment of students in every department of the institution. The name of Justin Smith Morrill should be honored and revered by all members of the Negro race in this country. Few other men have done so much to benefit the race as he. He was born at Strafford, Vt., April 14, 1810, and died in Washington in 1898. His birthday should be celebrated by every school among our people in the United States. Virginia Baptist State Convention. The Virginia Baptist State Convention will hold its annual convention in Roanoke, Va., from Wednesday, May 13, to Sunday, May 17, inclusive. The convention aims to raise at the coming session $10,300 for education and home and foreign missions. The Rev. Alexander A. Galvin of Danville, Va., president of the convention, is keeping in close touch with the pastors of the churches belonging to the organization throughout the state. The president is urging each church to do its full duty in raising the amount mentioned above, which is the amount of the budget agreed upon at the last annual meeting of the convention. Want National Political Congress. Excluding the states which have disfranchisement laws, the number of colored voters in the north, east and middle west according to the most recent estimate, is about $50,000. For the purpose of discussing the political situation as it relates to members of the race it has been suggested that a national congress be called to meet in Washington May 5. The suggestion is a good one and should be put into action without delay. Remember every dollar you spend in Dearfield, Colorado, you may spend it again Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E.

The ‘exercises by the Primary de partment of the Sunday school at 3 P. m, were brilliant and are the sub- ject of flattering comment on all sides. Mrs. Fannie Brown and her associ: ates enjoy the distinction of operating one of the best primary departments west of the Mississippi. Our Easter celebration culminated in the rendition of the sacred cantata, "From Manger to the Cross” by our senior choir, The announcement of this exercise drew a large congreza ‘tion of representative church goers, the ushers being forced to throw open the gallery to accommodate the crowd ‘The recital captivated the audience and is generally pronounced the most complete cantata that has been ren dered in a colored church in the city Representatives of fashionable white congregations who heard it are equal- ly loud in its praise.

There is a busy bunch of knockers, white and black, that always have a lot of empty advice to give a man or woman who starts out to do something of credit. Just remember that the advisor won't fence your land; neither will thunder plow your ground or lightning cultivate your crops. Use common sense, some fence posts, hard wire, and a team of horses; in your land, make a confident of your soil and the Almighty and you will put those busy, know-nothing advisors to shame. There are many good worthy people who are sorry now that the Government land is all gone adjoining Deerfield, and that they listened to the knockers. There has been enough done by those who have been there for three years to prove the possibilities of the soil if the settlers do their duty toward it. Every man and woman in Deerfield is on his and her own responsibility, and the degree of success attained depends wholly on the effort put forth. Whatever the other fellow does, will not have any bearing whatever on the success you have, but you must plan for yourself and keep within in your means; study your soil and crops and cultivate your land. We now have prospects for a very successful season so let's get busy. Deerfield is the coming community for colored people in Colorado. After ten years of hard struggle we have gotten the colony on a firm footing, and many who had an opportunity to settle on land some time ago are now sorry that they did not take advantage of the opportunity. To prove that a Negro settlement is a benefit to us, we will take as an example "Five Points" in Denver, Colo. Three years ago there was not a Negro engaged in business at Five Points. Today there are two grocery stores, two barber shops, four restaurants, two pool rooms, two club houses, Y. M. C. A. headquarters, Patrick Realty Co., Smith Teaming Co., and the Dearfield Agency, 13 business places in all. There are any number of rooming houses and five churches within a few blocks, three doctors, one fire department and two lodge rooms. The Dearfield mercantile store will be ready for business by May 1st, in time to supply the beet workers. Dearfield Agency, 2516 Washington street, Denver, Colo. DEARFIELD. Rev.

Harvey Page and family will arrive in Dearfield Sunday, April 19th. Mrs. J. F. Bruce and daughter left the past week for permanent residence on their homestead in Dearfield. Mr. Joseph J. Gardner of Omaha, Neb., bought 10 acres—tract No. 3—and Mrs. L. Smith and Mrs. Monroe of Denver, widow of C. C. Monroe, deceased, bought 10-acre tract No. 2 adjoining Dr. W. A. Jones. A party of four wealthy New York Negroes are negotiating for 2500 acres of state land adjoining the town of Dearfield to go into the stock raising business. There is no better health resort than Dearfield. The altitude is only 3800 feet. Most people who come to Colorado for their health come from the sea level or an altitude not more than 1000 feet above sea level. The mountain towns, at an altitude from 5000 to 7000 feet are too sudden changes, but Dearfield is at a good altitude to become acclimated and get used to the high altitude before venturing the mountain climbs. There is good fishing and hunting around Dearfield and one who is seeking health would do well to investigate Dearfield before locating for health. Buy a lot in Dearfield; pitch a tent; get next to Mother Earth, breathe the pure air and enjoy the scenery, as well as the growth of vegetation and stock on the 55 Negro farms surrounding Dearfield, the only place to live and get well. O. T. Jackson is spending a week at Dearfield. The price of lots and tracts will advance as soon as the post office is established.

CHURCH MEETS PEOPLE'S NEEDS Baptists In Jacksonville, Fla. Own Fine Edifice. MODERN IN APPOINTMENT. Description and Work of the First Institutional Meeting House Erected by Afro-Americans In the South—Qualifications of the Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., as Pastor. Jacksonville, Fla.—Bethel Institutional Baptist church is the largest and most aggressive church of its kind in the United States operated by the race. Indeed, it is all that is implied in the words "institutional church." It is the first institutional church in the south erected by our people. The first church was built of red pressed brick, trimmed with Georgia marble. The building contained a main auditorium, with a seating capacity of 1,150, and nine classrooms. It cost $26,000. The workmanship was that of colored mechanics and under the direction of colored contractors. During the big fire in Jacksonville a few years ago the building was destroyed, and for a long time the congregation worshiped in the "shack," and the then pastor, Dr. J. Milton Waldron, was busy looking for a still better location on which to rebuild. It was in 1903 that the Rivers square site was purchased. It contained a whole block and is one of the most desirable blocks in the city. The congregation, under the direction of Pastor Waldron, proceeded at once to erect a new modern and commodious church building. The present pastor, the Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., is one of the most aggressive Baptist ministers in the country. He spent much time in preparing for his work before entering the active ministry. He was born in Owensboro, Ky., and at an early age his parents moved to Chicago, where he had the S. REV. JOHN E. FORD, D. D. benefit of the Chicago public and high schools, graduating from the latter with high honors. Dr. Ford took a course in shortland and afterward entered Beloit college, and from Beloit he took a course at Fisk university, in Nashville, Teen. From Fisk university Dr. Ford found his way to the University of Chicago, where he pursued his theological studies. He remained at the Chicago university until he had finished his course and graduated with honors. During his school days in Chicago he was pastor of one of the leading churches in the city—Bethesda Baptist church. In this work he gained considerable experience and was successful in adding many to the church. From Bethesda he was called to a large congregation in Los Angeles. Cal., where he accomplished great work and made a reputation as an aggressive pastor. He accepted a call to Denver, where he remained several years, putting the church work there on a high standard. It was while in Los Angeles that he toured the old world, being one of the delegates to the world's Sunday school convention. His travels through Europe and the Holy Land better prepared him for his ministerial work. On his return to America he found that the Rev. J. Milton Waldron had decided to go to Washington. Being anxious that the congregation should have an able man as pastor, Dr. Waldron recommended Dr. Ford. He accepted the call and at once entered upon his duties. Many have been added to the church during the past three years. Dr. Ford is active in everything that means the advancement of the race. The motto of the church is, "Not Institutional In Name Only. But In Fact." "Our object is to 'save the whole man,' body, mind, soul and spirit," says the pastor. The educational work consists of night school, business college and an auxiliary to Florida Baptist college. There are also a Women's Christian Temperance union. Men's Temperance union. Mothers' union. Health and improvement association and kindergarten. all of which are under the direction of a company of able men and women.

GOODS DELIVERED TO ALL PARTS OF THE CITY NEW ORDINANCE BREEDS STRIFE Measure Passed In Norfolk, Va., Called Unjust. DENIES MANHOOD RIGHTS. What an Influential Weekly Paper Says of Renewed Attempt to Stultify Ambition and Check the Progress of the Colored Citizens—Race Must Contend For Justice. The recent adoption of a new segregation ordinance in Norfolk, Va., is causing no little unrest among the colored citizens against whose interest the measure is aimed. The first segregation law adopted by the city was declared invalid, unreasonable and unjust by Police Justice James S. Barron and ruled out by Judge McLemore of the city circuit court. The Journal and Guide, an influential weekly edited by P. B. Young in Norfolk, Va., commenting at length on the new ordinance in an able editorial, in part says: "The new ordinance as adopted by both bodies of the city council with only one dissenting vote differs from the old ordinance in one or two essential parts. It establishes the right of the city to appeal by eliminating the jail sentence from the penalty for its violation and under its provisions—whether intended so to be or not—operative in only such city blocks as are already 'white' or 'black' as defined by the ordinance. "The old ordinance defined a block as 'white' or 'black' in proportion to the number of white or colored residents in the block. Strange to say, the new law takes no cognizance of blocks occupied by both races. From a layman's point of view the ordinance merely anticipates a condition that may never exist. Still in its final analysis it is as objectionable as the old ordinance inasmuch as in its legal aspects it abrogates the right of one citizen to contract with another and is a serious menace to the economic advancement and even existence of the Negro. Quick Service "In order to conform to a legislative statute it is framed to 'prevent conflict and ill feeling between the white and colored races in the city of Norfolk and to preserve the public peace and promote the general welfare by making reasonable provision requiring the use of separate blocks for residents for white and colored people respectively." "In this particular it is a misnomer. No arbitrary law, no manner of class legislation can prevent ill feeling between the races. On the other hand, it can only serve to accentuate race prejudice and is of itself a practical demonstration of ill feeling between the races. As Dr. James B, Dudley has wisely said, 'That government is best that governs least—that places no unnecessary restrictions and handicaps upon the activities of the people.' "The vote in the common council was almost unanimous, only one member, John J. Pitt of Washington ward voting against it. Mr. Pitt made a statement before casting his vote to the effect that he 'did not think the measure was just to the colored residents of the city. I cannot get the consent of my conscience to vote for it, and for that reason make this statement before voting.' Mr. Pitt also said that he 'did not subscribe to the doctrine that "might makes right" and that he regarded human rights above property rights.' Those were lofty sentiments. It requires great courage for a young southern white man to take that stand. He stood alone, which was not a rare thing. But it gives him more honorable distinction because of having stood alone. The colored citizens of Norfolk, who have long suffered as the result of unjust restrictions, have written the name of John J. Pitt upon a roll of honor, which is headed by the names of those princely Virginia gentlemen, Tazewell Taylor and James S. Barron. "We fail to recognize the necessity of a segregation ordinance in Norfolk. The Negro does not want to encroach upon the precincts which the white man has set aside for himself. He does not want to invade the white man's exclusive reservations. The Negro does want room for expansion, however. He cannot be restricted to an area inadequate to meet the demands of natural growth and survive the pressure of economic competition. The Negro's fight against segregation is not a fight to live with the white man, but a fight to live by himself. "We have been asked why the Negro objects to segregation. We do not object to segregation as voluntarily practiced by both races because of the natural law of selection which leads members of separate races to group together, which is a good and desirable thing in our situation, but we do object to segregation by legislation, because "it stigmatizes us as legal undesirables; consigns us to undesirable localities; denies us participation in public improvements; subjects us to unsanitary conditions; increases our inconveniences; diminishes our accommodations; deprives us of police protection; restricts property values; exposes us to crushing business competition, and intensifies race prejudice."

Carey Excepts to Statement In Newspaper Editorial Chicago.-The following is in part the reply of the Rev. A. J. Carey. D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church in this city, to an editorial which appeared in the Inter Ocean. The speech which caused the writing of the editorial was delivered by Judge Orrin N. Carter, and the paragraph in the said editorial which stirred the Rev. Mr. Carey's race pride was this: "The future is largely in your own hands and must be provided for by education. It depends upon both the white and colored races if the emancipation proclamation is fully carried out." The article was evidently written in a friendly spirit, and some of your statements and conclusions are correct, but as there are many incorrect statements, probably caused by your lack of accurate information. I feel constrained to furnish a little data on the subject. Standing on the outside, you cannot, of course, get the viewpoint of one within. In the first place, there is no fundamental difference between the races. The Bible tells us that of one blood God made all nations. The colored man has his joys and his sorrows, his loves and his hates just the same as those of other races. There is nothing which individuals of the white race have accomplished which cannot be duplicated by individuals of the black race. Your picture of the supereducated colored man is not true to nature. Right here in Chicago there are hundreds of Afro-Americans who have been highly educated. There are graduates from nearly every American institution for higher education and some from the great universities of Europe. It is not true that the highly educated colored man has a contempt for the ordinary activities of his race any more than it is true of the white race. The colored graduate of Harvard would not seek menial labor any more than the white graduate would, although the infamous American color prejudice often compels him to accept an inferior job in order to earn an honest living. As a matter of fact, there is more democracy among the colored people than among the whites. People of good character and intelligence who may be serving in some ordinary capacity are more generally received by their well to do colored brothers and sisters than among the whites. The highly educated colored person is not nearly so unhappy as you picture him, and he does not lack for desirable associates. In the best circles are people who are the intellectual equals of any other race. In these circles may be found retired capitalists, ministers, lawyers, doctors, business men, professors, editors, teachers, etc.-men and women who have had the best training America and Europe could give. There are so many of them that there are several "sets." That the higher education has not been a failure in furnishing opportunities for success may be fully illustrated by three concrete examples in this city. First there is a brown skinned lawyer, with a clientele almost exclusively white, who stands at the head of his profession. He began life a poor boy, worked his way through college and when he was examined for admission to the bar was obliged to button his shabby overcoat close to his person in order to hide the ragged and tattered suit he wore. Today he is said to be worth $1,000,000 in real estate, stocks and bonds and has an income of $30,000 per annum from his practice alone. He has recently returned from a tour around the world and states that only in his native land has he ever suffered any indignity on account of his color. A colored dentist who is considered one of the leaders in his profession has an income of from $12,000 to $15,000 per year. He numbers among his patrons some of the most exclusive white families in the city. He is the only colored member of the Illinois State Dental association and was at one time elected president of the organization. The most famous colored surgeon in the world lives in Chicago. His greatest fame rests upon the fact that he was the first surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the living human heart. BUSINESS MEN SCORE SUCCESS Number of Enterprises In Jackson, Miss., Increases. LARGE RESULTS OBTAINED. Wonderful Achievements In Wealth, Education and Religious Culture Wrought by Afro-Americans Who Have Learned How to Master Their Difficulties. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Jackson, Miss.—On account of the highly colored reports sent north regarding lynchings in this state many of the people of the north regard Mississippi as a hopeless area for the colored race. If you should come to the state and especially to this city, see the wonderful progress being made by the race, note the feeling existing between the two races and observe the fine residences and splendid business establishments owned and controlled by colored people you would at once conclude that the traditional bark of those persons who aim to hinder our progress is not taken so seriously by the colored people in this section. There are twelve colored lawyers in this city, and each one is doing excellently well. Wherever a colored lawyer can succeed it is a fair advertisement for a locality as offering opportunities to the race. Wherever you find an even dozen Negro lawyers registering a high water mark of success you have the proof of opportunities for race development. These men are not professional race solvers; they are quiet, consistent, earnest solvers of the problem. Of the 22,600 population of this city 13,560—more than half—are Afro-Americans, who have $350,000 invested in business enterprises and who pay taxes on $1,000,000 worth of real estate. Men like L. K. Atwood and W. A. Scott, who have developed respectively a successful bank and a successful insurance company, and able attorneys, second to none, like Perry W. Howard, W. J. Latham and S. A. Beadle, who are constantly engaged in every line of thought and action to improve the race, and a successful physician, drugst and lawyer like S. D. Redmond, whose holdings exceed the half hundred thousand mark, and a virile editor like E. H. Topp are alone sufficient to develop an oasis in any desert. I have been to but few places where I was so much impressed with the helpful activity, wealth producing ability and intelligence on the part of our race as here in Jackson. I predict that, at the rate they are progressing, the Negroes in the next quarter of a century will own more than 75 per cent of the farm acreage in this state and more than 40 per cent of the city property and will more than split even with the white man in the control of business. Race prejudice in this state is now more largely because of the wonderfully rapid material and educational advancement of the race than because of inborn race hatred. The success which the colored people have achieved in the face of the most active and virulent race discrimination in itself argues for the ultimate disenthronement of race discrimination. This city is the headquarters of one old line insurance company operated by the race and several mutual companies, all of which are successful. Pharmacy, bakeries, groceries, contracting, banking, printing and tailoring are a few of the business activities in which the race is engaged. There are two public schools, with a corps of twenty-five teachers, and Campbell college, of which Dr. W. T. Vernon is president, and twelve churches give some indication that the moral and spiritual man is not at all neglected. The churches as a rule are splendid edifices, well attended and have well educated ministers. It is estimated—and I investigated to make sure—that the Negroes in this city have $300,000 on deposit in the banks. This, with the value of their real estate and personal property, gives the race in Jackson a per capita wealth of $129. As a Frenchman would say. "That is magnificent!" and especially so when you stop to reflect that Mississippi as a state has perhaps done more to stop Negro progress than any other state. Really there is nothing but progress here, encouraging, inspiring progress, and such men and women as W. A. Scott, L. K. Atwood, S. D. Redmond, Perry W. Howard, D. W. Turner, R. J. Johnson, G. F. Frazier, E. R. Topp, W. J. Latham, S. A. Bendle, H. T. Risher, James Boyd. Mrs. Lucile Miller, Cora McClain, Mrs. W. J. Wade, V. L. Reuben and others are the ones who are leading in this upbuilding of a race in this city and I was much impressed with the orderly manner in which all Negro business enterprises are conducted here and the amount of energy, intelligence and personal service injected in each and all of them. The Negroes of the north need not lose any sleep over the future of the race in this section if the progress shown in this city is typical of the progress being made throughout the south. Jackson is a regular beehive, filled with working bees, no drones. Here you find the Negro pushing, not whining. ORGANIZER OF BUSINESS LEAGUES ON TRIP SOUTH. Ralph W. Tyler's Fine Work in Florida and Texas. Tampa, Fla.—A business league with seventy-nine charter members was organized here the first week in April by Ralph W. Tyler, national organizer for the National Negro Business league. Mr. Tyler also organized large local leagues at Ocala, Orlando and St. Augustine, Fla. Following the large meeting which he addressed here Mr. Tyler was tendered a typical Spanish supper at which 100 of the town's business and professional men were present. While in Tampa Mr. Tyler was also entertained by the Dunbar club and at breakfast at the Clara Fry hospital. He was kept continually on the go while in Tampa and greatly honored. Mr. Tyler made a tour of Florida, starting in at Jacksonville and closing at St. Augustine. Everywhere he was greeted by large audiences and tendered fine banquets. The white press of the state was especially kind to him, giving him extended notices and praising the work of the National Negro Business league. After finishing his tour of Florida the national organizer left for Texas, which state he will tour until about May 4 in the interest of the National league. Mr. Tyler's principal speaking dates for the rest of April in Texas includes Dallas, April 16 and 17; Palestine, April 18 and 19; Tyler, April 20; Marshall, April 21 and 22, and Texarkana, April 23 and 24. ODD FELLOWS ARE ACTIVE. Members of the Order Preparing For Great Convention In Boston. Odd Fellows in all sections of the country are getting ready for the session of the biennial movable committee of the order, which will be held in Boston next September. Delegates will be present from all parts of the country in large numbers. Interest centers chiefly in the selection of a grand master. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, who is completing his second four years in that office, is a candidate for re-election. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia and present deputy grand master of the order, is a candidate for the position. Mr. Johnson, it is said, has received assurances of support from many influential sources, especially from those who are opposed to long tenure in one office. A number of changes in other important offices are expected. Alabama State Business League. The sixth annual meeting of the Alabama State Negro Business league, of which E. T. Atwell of the Tuskegee institute is president, will be held in Montgomery, Ala., on Tuesday, April 21. The Hon. W. A. Gunter, mayor of Montgomery, will deliver the address of welcome, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, will be the chief speaker. RURAL EDUCATION SOUTH. How Miss Emma J. Wilson Built Up the Maysville (S. C.) School. Perhaps none among the younger industrial schools in the south is doing a greater work for the education of the masses than the Maysville (S. C.) Industrial institute. The school was started about ten years ago in an old abandoned cotton gin building, with little financial aid and no equipment. The district in which the institution is located is thickly settled, and the country public schools are few and situated at a great distance apart. Therefore the people were glad to rally to the support of this new enterprise among them. Miss Emma J. Wilson, principal of the school, worked almost single handed as teacher, missionary and superintendent for three years after the school was organized. She made the blackboards out of old pine planks, painted them and nailed them to the side of the classrooms, constructed benches out of castoff lumber and built tables and desks for classroom use. After a short while she bought ten acres of land on which to cultivate corn, peas, cabbages, beans and potatoes. The institution has at the present time 143 acres of farm land, 150 boarding students, forty-three orphan children under its care and a total enrollment of 500 students. Miss Wilson is making a brief tour of several northern cities in the financial interest of the school. She delivered a most instructive address at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, where she made many friends. Among those who heard Miss Wilson's story were several South Carolinians who are living north. They became so much interested in the school that they are going to form a South Carolina club through which to raise funds for the Maysville school. Miss Wilson will return to the school in time for the annual commencement the latter part of May. Texas State Congress of Mothers. Texas State Congress of Mothers.

Dear Editor: Please allow us space to say a few words about our little charge at Grand Junction. We have just closed a glorious Easter and quarterly conference, presided over by our much beloved presiding elder, Rev. A. M. Ward. It was a great day in Grand Junction, the spirit of the Lord was with us, and souls were made happy as the elder fed us from the heavenly manna. The Easter exercises were the grandest ever held on this charge, and was so ably conducted by Mr. L. A. Morris, our superintendent. Rev. Ward seemed to be at his best when he arose to speak at both services he kindled a fire that will burn in the hearts of the people of this city for some time. Members and friends traveled 90 miles from Glenwood Springs to be with us on Sunday, something that I never witnessed before, and I have lived here for 15 years. Our pastor, Rev. Samuel R. McGinnis, a young man of much ability, is the right man in the right place, always vigilant and on the alert HAVE YOU SEEN OUR EASTER PERFUMES We have just arranged a beautiful Easter Lily window display of perfumes. Lilies fill the window, interposed here and there with the choiceest Easter perfumes. It is with emipent pride that we call your attention to our line of perfumes, containing as it does the latest odors, among them ROYAL CHERRY BUDS, the great California perfume.

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

Amid all of this continuous excite: ment and joy, so expressive of the |/Eastertide, bets were being made, challenges were being made and also such expressions as “Put your mouth ‘where your money is,” “Let your con- selence be your guide,” women smiled, men laughed and the officers of the law looked on with complacent ylec and satisfaction. ‘The moving picture caught the local celebrities, such as J. Albert Dorsey, announcer and assistant referee; J W. Carrie, Sr. official timekeeper; Blind Birdlegs, big Bob Watkins, Jack Thompson, the champion of the Wes Kid Bell, Knockout Brown and many ‘more too numerous to mention, When Syl Stewart entered the ring and was ‘introduced as the promoter of this fistic bout, the house went wild with enthusiasm. Mr. Stewart fittingly bowed a modest recognition of the honor conferred. The tension of the large concourse of the people was so sharp that excitement and intense in- terest of the boosters provoked wit, mirth, repartee and laughter.

In second and third rounds Scottle ral- lied and Bruce pounded on him heav- ily and Scottie in turn brought the red from Bruce's mouth and nose. The change of sentiment was appar- ent and Scottie’s rooters became bold and enthusiastic. In the fourth, fifth jana sixth rounds the fighting was fast and furious, each trying for a |knockout, with a shade in Scottie’s fa- lvor. Bruce seemed weak and groggy jat times. In the seventh, eighth and |ninth, Bruce rallied and gave Scottie some terrible punishment, Scottie scoring one good punch which nearly closed Bruce's right eye. Scottie |tried with all his force for a knockout but Bruce was too much for him. Yet \Bruce was weak and groggy and was holding in the clinches, Bruce did ex- cellent not to receive a knockout when his right eye was closed. He is quick and a clever fighter, but Scottie ‘Williams, Denver's fighting machine, with a putme-to-sleep wallop, is too game and tough for Bruce. Referee Leo Ring (white) of Chicago, and spe- ‘cial referee of the Colorado Athletic association, announced Scottie Wil: \liams winners and for ten minutes [the applause and demonstration was ‘deafening, especially when Bruce left [his corner and warmly congratulated Scottie. Thus ended one of the big- gest, best and liveliest exhibitions. ever staged in Denver. Not a cross [word nor any unpleasantness was wit nessed, Eee : Speaking of the tight, the News said: “Beforea large crowd atEureka hall last night ‘Scotty” Williams of Denver was given a well-earned de- cision over Otis Bruce of Triniddd at the end of ten rounds of the fastest milling ever witnessed in this part of country. The fight almost terminated in the first round when .the local boy caught Bruce with a hard right on the point of the chin, dropping him for acount of four. Again in the fourth round, Williams dropped the Trinidad welter- weight with a terrific right upper cut to the jaw. The seventh round was all Will- iams' ashe backed the boy from,the southern part of the state from one corner of the ring to the other. Bruce made a great uphill fight from the opening round and, although Scotty had him groggy at times, the former demonstrat - ed that he is one of the gam- est boys that has been seen in alocal ring for some time. Bruce was the cleverest of the two, but his blows lacked the stream of the Denverite, who carried his opponent off his feet with his terrific punches from all angles, The semi-windup between Dinge McCarthy of Salt Lake, and Wiilie Williams of Colo- A WIR GS rr | POMADE FOR THE HAIR |, : We wish to advise our friends and customers that we have a full J) line of Toilet Preparations, Perfumes, Manicure Supplies, Brushes «| gt every description, Toilet Soaps, Cutlery, etc. ;| The Denver Barber Supply Go. | 1527 Glenarm{Street ¢|MPhone Main 7225 Denver, Colorado |» 2 POMADE FOR THE HAIR | POMADE FOR THE HAIR [5 s WHY BE BALD ? aby ».sing my special treatmen I promise to grow air cn every persons head who has been bald twenty-five years.

CITY FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS WINS SIGNAL VICTORY Petition Honored by City Council and Shorter Chapel to Have Beautiful Park. For a number of years the beauty of Shorter chapel's property has been marred by fronting an unsightly building located on the triangular plot at the junction of Washington, Twentieth and Park avenues. Again and again efforts had been made to have this undesirable structure moved, but without success. During the summer of 1913, the attention of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was drawn to this much needed improvement, and by a unanimous vote the federation agreed to undertake the task. A steering committee, of which Mrs. Josephine Cassell was made chairman, was appointed to act in co-operation with the pastor and officers of said church in securing the desired end. Led on by Mrs. Cassell and her committee, the ball was set in motion immediately and within a short time a petition, signed by the adjacent property owners, members of this congregation and members of the several clubs was presented to the Park Board, asking that the city buy said property and convert it into a park. a committee of ladies also appeared before this board and in brief speeches emphasized the justice of their request. But after giving a respectful hearing, the Park Board, as it was wont to do, passed up the petition labeled with the ingenious excuse, "lack of funds." Deunted by this defeat, the matter was allowed to rest for a time, but with Mrs. Cassell in charge, it could not remain thus long. Finally the petition was taken up with the city council and again a committee, representing the several clubs, along with the pastor and trustees, appeared before the city council and there urged that favorable action be taken on the petition. As a result of the wise and persistent action on the part of this committee, the city council on Monday afternoon last, voted to purchase the property and to convert it into a Through this achievement, our women have rendered a great service for Shorter's congregation and for the entire colored citizenry of Denver as well. This is but another illustration justifying woman suffrage. Give our women a chance and they will demonstrate their ability to bring things to pass. As pastor of Shorter Chapel A. M. E. church, I desire to publicly express my deep appreciation and gratitude for this remarkable service rendered my congregation by the city federation of colored women's clubs. ROBERT L. POPE. FOR AFRICA'S REDEMPTION. What a New York Society Does For Foreign Missions. New York.—One of the most potent movements in this city for the uplift of the race and which also has for its object the evangelization of Africa is the African Redemption society, of which Mrs. Lelia Walters is president. The organization is ten years old, and during its decade of existence it has done much to carry light and inspiration to the dark continent of Africa. The organization hopes to awaken a new interest in Africa and to bring about a nationalism on the part of the natives. Some of the most prominent women of the race are identified with the movement and are enthusiastic over the new awakening that is being manifested in the affairs of Africa. The tenth anniversary of the organization was celebrated with a public meeting, which was held at Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion church. A historical review of the organization was made, and various phases of the organization's work were discussed by well known men and women of the race. Among the prominent speakers were Hon. J. Edmestone Barnes of London, who was secretary of the legation at Liberia under Dr. Ernest Lyons. Mr. Barnes spoke on "The Economic Value of the Native Races In African Redemption." Mrs. Lelia Walters presided, and there was an opening chorus by the church choir. Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke, A. At the conclusion of the program the annual reception to the members and friends, which is an interesting feature of the annual meetings, was held. The officers of the organization are: President, Mrs. Lelia Walters; first vice president, Mrs. E. A. Johnson; second vice president, Mrs. J. W. Johnson; secretary, Mrs. Anna Harper, and treasurer, Mrs. A. Jackson. Among the patronesses of the organization are Mrs. W. D. Crum of Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington; Mrs. J. S. Jackson of Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Lelia Walker of Indianapolis; Mrs. A. W. Blackwell and Mrs. G. W. Clinton of Charlotte, N.

To Mrs. Josephine Cassels and Mrs. Tenia Lyons, as well as to the Shorten trustees and friends, and the City Federation with its individual clubs, belong the credit, honor and praise for securing the consent of the city to have that unsightly building in front of Shorter church removed and supplanted with a beautiful park, surrounded with shade trees, for the comfort and pleasure of the neighborhood. Nobody can know, only those immediately concerned, how nobly and zealously the women worked and how discouraging the outlook was at times, yet they pressed on to final success. The thought was originally the women's and credit for the accomplishment belongs to them. Mrs. Josephine Allen McKeethen has left to make St. Louis her permanent home. She likes the place and her health there is fine. Mr. Wm. Jones has gone to Springfield, Mo., to live. W. S. S. CLUB SHINES AT HOUSTON HALL.

When Mr. Lindsey took the management of the "Little Savoy" just a few days before Easter, little did anyone who happened to be present Sunday night and saw the crowded tables and the peaceful and attractive crowd of young, beautiful and winsome damsels, think that this place in so short a time could regain its one time popularity and "come back." And since that Easter opening crowds flock there to be refreshed. Mr. Lindsey is to be congratulated on his great achievement and we hope his success will continue. THE BARNES OPENING.
