Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 39 St. James, La., May 15.—Friday Sylvester Washington was shot to death for the alleged slaying of Deputy Sheriff P. C. Simon, but before he died riddled by a hundred bullets he gave a good account of himself, wounding four of his pursuers. One, Charles Bahn, wounded in the abdomen, died shortly afterward. The killing of Washington came after a hunt of twenty-four hours in which the bloodthirsty mob mistook a white man for him, shot and severely wounded him. The mob cornered Washington in the afternoon. They found him in a sugar shed and set it on fire. He hurled himself from the doorway, firing desperately as he did so. John C. Mellist was wounded fatally and a Mr. Harding was shot in the calf of the leg, the bullet penetrating the limb and killing Harding's horse, while another Muskogee, Okla.—Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored section of the city Sunday night and mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagoner county jail for safe keeping. She was taken out by a masked mob and hanged to a telephone pole. The mob got into the jail by strategy. The mob pulled the screaming woman from her cell, tied a rope about her neck and dragged her some distance through the streets before reaching the telephone pole. Minneapolis Appeal. Memphis, Tenn., May 15. The Southern Sociological Congress which met in this city last week, the one body that should be exempt, split up over the trace question. The local committee agreed that if Afro-Americans were permitted to use a certain section of the floor, only delegates would be allowed to occupy seats. This agreement, they assert, was disregarded and Afro-Americans were given seats generally. Friday night, when a joint session was held with the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, scores of white delegates could not obtain seats, they declare, hence the dissatisfaction. As a result the closing session Saturday night was held at the First Methodist Church, instead of at the theater formerly used. Robt. Harris Writes Thanks To Public and Masonic Brethern. Canon City, Col. May 14, 1914 I wish you through the columns of your paper to convey our thanks and gratitude to the persons, organizations, and yourself and others connected with your paper, who have so kindly assisted us by their generous contributions to help defray expenses in aiding me to present my case before the Supreme Court and also assisting me at present to have my case properly presented to the court, which is set for hearing next month. I could state that I expect to be fully exonerated and duly discharged from any further imprisonment, as I am conscious I have not done any more than any other man would have done under the circumstances, who was trying I am sure all fair minded people will be with me. I am confident that prejudices and race hatred was the dominant facto in me being found guilty and capital punishment imposed at former trial, and now aware that it will be to a certain degree, be in evidence next month. As justice and truth cannot at all times be smothered, I confidently expect for justice to assert itself and rule triumphantly over all, giving me a speedy and honorable acquittal and then I shall make it my duty to call on you and thank you in person for the interest you have taken in helping us. I would take it as a great favor of you to personally give my thanks to Mr. Rector, Grand Master, for his call to the craft and the public for their aid in assisting and also last but least the Hon. Townsend, both of your city. Thanking you again for your kindness to us, I close, Yours in Masonry, Robert Harris Colorado State Penitentary. In Holy Russia. Berlin.—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths hauoutraged and crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the Volga. After outraging the young girl, the special dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through her eyes. The three murderers were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted.—Minneapolis Appeal. KILLED WRONG MAN. In Christian U. S. Brains Has No Color Lines DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1914 Important Changes The principal of the Caroline Donovan Normal and Industrial Institute, located in Grand Bassa County, Liberia, Africa, the Rev. J. H. Reed, accompanied by his wife, is visiting the United States for the purpose of securing plans for school buildings and equipment for the fitting up of same. The school has been made possible by a fund left by the late Caroline Donovan of Baltimore, who devised the income from her estate to a board of trustees to be used in the emigration of worthy persons to Liberia and for the establishment and maintenance of an industrial school. The Republic of Liberia has accepted the terms of the bequest and the legislature of that country has passed an act incorporating the school, and appointing a board of trustees to serve in conjunction with the American trustees of the fund in administering the affairs of the school. Sixty-five thousand dollars accrued interest has already been turned over by the trustees to the American Colonization Society, and through the Liberian Consul General, Dr. Lyon, been transmitted to the trustees in Liberia. A site for the institute has been selected in the County of Grand Bassa, comprising a tract of rich, alluvial land at the headwaters of the Benson and Savage rivers, covering about eight square miles, or more than 5,000 acres. The act of incorporation provides that teachers for the institute are to be procured from the United States or elsewhere, the appointments to be made by the President of Liberia on recommendation of a teacher's bureau, which is to co-operate with the trustees of the Donovan Fund in America of which Gen. Latrobe, a former mayor of Baltimore, is the head. The Liberian government has named Dr. Lyon as a financial agent in this country to act in connection with the trustees of the fund. The Rev. Mr. Reed will consult architects as to buildings, equipment, etc. His headquarters will be at the Liberian Consulate, 141 West Hill street, Baltimore. Md. Mr. Reed is an American and went to Liberia nine years ago from Arkansas, and was connected with the College of West Africa at Monrovia. He is connected with the M. E. church. He will remain in this country until his plans are consummated. Bishop I. B. Scott has lately returned from an extensive visit to his African field o In Liberia. mission labor. He gives the most optimistic expressions as to the future of the work and especially hopeful is he of the progress and development of the Republic of Liberia. What Bishop Scott has to say about Liberia is of special interest just at this time in view of the presence in this country of the Liberian Secretary of the treasury in connection with the financial plan recently inaugurated to take care of the Liberian finances. As to the political life of the Republic, he says the administration of President D. E. Howard, who is serving his first term, is considered a pronounced success. President Howard is the third son of the soil to be elected to that high honor, all others having been born either in the United States or in the West Indies. While Mr. Howard is acknowledged a shrewd and capable politician, he also bears the reputation of being thoroughly honest in public affairs and a man who is fully devoted to the highest interests of his country. President Howard is in perfect accord with the present financial plan, which has been inaugurated through the good offices of the United States and Liberia is enjoying a degree of financial prosperity hitherto unknown. Not only is more cash money being collected from the import duties, but all government officials and employees are being paid their salaries, and so is the recent loan and all other national obligations. Bishop Scott commends most highly the American officials now serving in Liberia, and gives unqualified praise to the military men, who have gone from this country, naming especially Major Chas. Young, who though connected with the American Legation, is an advisor to the War Department of the Republic, Major Wilson Ballard, commanding the Liberian frontier force; and Captain H. Newton who is in special charge of the great valley of the Cavalla River, which constitutes the boundary between Liberia and French territory. These men, he says, are soldiers, and a credit to their race and country. The Bishop speaks highly, also, of the young American officers who have gone out within the past few months. At first considerable fighting was necessary before the natives were convinced that these men could outgeneral them. But now they are in the strictest sense of the word peace officials, and have almost unlimited influence among the native people who Professor J. B. La Fargue's Method of Safeguarding Young Lives. Alexandria, La.—A new method of extending the influence of the colored school as a benefactor to both the colored and the white people in a community has been evolved by J. B. La Fargue, principal of the Peabody public school for colored people in Alexandria, La. Professor La Fargue's idea is to get his boys, in competing for prizes, to take interest in work which will make for the betterment of sanitation and neatness in the city. The school contest idea is not a new one by any means, nor is the idea that the ideal school makes its influence felt for twelve instead of nine months new, but it remained for the Alexandria principal to combine the two and give us a new school contest to be listed along with the corn club, the canning club and the home garden contests. The Peabody school enrolled 513 in 1913, about half of whom were boys. In addition to a school garden and some work in domestic science, a home garden contest was organized, in which some sixty were enrolled. This, however, was not enough. Principal La Fargue felt that his pupils should be influenced by the school to stay out of the gutter during the demoralizing summer months. He proposed to accomplish this by getting them to work. Professor La Fargue therefore interested some of the white merchants of the town to the extent of offering first, second and third prizes for the boys giving the best evidence of industry during the summer months of 1914, the contest beginning in January and ending in September. The boys are to solicit odd jobs from the white people of the town and to receive upon the completion of each job certificates signed by their employers stating the date and the amount paid for the work. The boy who holds the have been troublesome to the Republic during the past two years. Regarding his work, the bishop says his missionaries have met with unusual success during the past three years, in their work among the heathen, and thousands have been brought under the influence of the christian religion. When he first assumed charge of the work about ten years ago, the entire membership of his church was 3,301, now it is only a little short of 10,000. He has in the day schools of his church 2,300 pupils all except about 400 being the children gathered from the heathen tribes. One of the needs of his work for the proper development of Liberia is a well equipped industrial school. When the bishop reached New York, reporters of the daily papers wanted to know about Chief Sam and what he claims to be prepared to do for the Negroes he is endeavoring to carry from this country to Africa. Bishop Scott knows nothing whatever of Chief Sam, or what he is prepared to do for the people who follow him into English territory. Liberia could accommodate a goodly number of of "newcomers," as they are called over there, if they energetic, wideawake people and have something to begin life with. Mechanics are especially desirable, but those going to Liberia ought to keep in mind the fact that it is a new country, and they should be prepared to rough it, if necessary, until they are so situated as to make themselves comfortable. Bishop Scott expects to remain in this country until some time next fall.—New York Age. S S S largest number of these certificates by the opening of the school year next September will receive first prize. When this contest was about a month old, according to Professor La Fargue, one boy whom he had considered rather lazy had unassessed twenty-two certificates, stating that he had mowed lawns, cut weeds and drained mud puddles and had received from 10 to 25 cents for each job. This stimulus may mean a turning point in the boy's life. It may mean the inculcation of industrious habits in one who would have otherwise grown up without any ambition or self reliance. It teaches them to grow up with the proper ideals of neatness and cleanliness of property, and the lesson is impressed by the fact that they themselves are to look for the defects as well as apply the remedies. It centers the interest of the southern white people, who receive the benefit of the labor, on the school and arouses their interest in an institution which raises the standard of living in their community. La Fargue's contest, therefore, deserves a good rank among the many activities outside of the classroom of the modern schools. Raped the girl. Clovis, N. M.—The brother of the girl who was lynched by a mob of white brutes near Muskogee, Okla., a few weeks ago, passed through this town recently on his way to Mexico. He gave a pathetic account of the lynching His sister was but 17 years old and of respectable parents. Two half-drunken white men walked into their home during the absence of the mother and found the girl dressing, locked themselves in her room and criminally assaulted her. Her screams for help was heard by her brother, who, kicking down the door, went to her rescue. In defending his sister one of the brutes was killed and the other escaped. Later in the evening the local authorities, failing to find brother arrested the sister, who was taken from jail by a mob at 4 o'clock in the morning and lynched. From his hiding place the brother, who is 21 years old, could hear his sister's cries for help, but he was powerless to aid her. The young man is anxious to learn the fate of his parents. Oklahoma is in this country; not in Mexico, or Russia or Turkey. It is in the section of this country that Joe Brown and Tom Heflin of Georgia, Tillman and Blease of South Carolina, Vardaman and Williams of Mississippi, blow so much about. Good Lord!—Gazette. Boonville, Mo., May 4. While making excavation for the new Victor Building, work-men struck a bag of gold and silver money in an old cellar under a building torn down for the new one. The workmen, who are Afro-Americans, got about $1200 from the find. Henry Williams got $400 and others various amounts ranging from $45 to $85. It is supposed the money was buried during the civil war, as all the coins, mostly $20 gold pieces, bore dates from 1850 to 1861. Young Lawyers Pass Bar Examination.

BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT. J. W. WILLIAMS MAKES FINAL PROOF. Mr. J. W. Williams was down from Dearfield to make his final proof on his homestead, S. W. ¼ Sec. 31, T. 4, N. 61 W. P. M. Mr. Williams is the second one to prove up. One other has given notice for proof and five others are eligible to prove up. Mr. Williams has been offered $4,000 for his homestead and says if it is worth that much to the man who has never lived on the place it is worth $10,000 to him as a home. He was one of the first settlers in Dearfield and went through hardships and made sacrifices that no other settler will have to undergo, as conditions are growing better each day for the people in Dearfield. Now that we have a town at our door, it will not be long before a homestead in Dearfield will be as comfortable and convenient and accessible as one within five miles of Denver. It is hoped that all settlers will make good and secure their homesteads by rigidly following the law and doing just what the law says in making their homesteads their permanent homes. Dearfield has some five and ten-acre tracts which can and will produce as much as $4,000, the amount offered Mr. Williams for his home with such a large lake upon it. We cannot afford for any Dearfield settler to fall or lose his "homeestead," or land, by or through carelessness, ignorance or shiftlessness. We are again warning them to stay on their lands the required time because the government has its spotters out and the inspectors who check up the little local land men.

Progress Noted In Municipality Inhabited Soley by Afro-Americans. Taft, Okla., is one of the most thrifty towns of its size in the far southwest. It is inhabited by not much over 500 persons, all Afro-Americans, ambitious and energetic. There are several stores in the town, one cotton gin, one hotel and many fine residences. The railroad station agent and the telegraph operator perform efficient service and are recognized by the state officials the same as white men serving in like capacity. Sarah Rector, reputed to be the wealthiest young miss of the colored race, attends the public school in Taft. Squire Jones is justice of the peace and also president of the local business league. The citizens of the town are greatly interested in the coming meeting of the National Negro Business league, which will be held in Muskogee the third week in August.

Morton is pastor. As Bridgeport is in easy reach of the majority of the schools belonging to the organization an unusually large attendance is expected. FOR SALE. BIG MEETINGS IN MEMPHIS. Tennessee Metropolis Host of Noted Workers For Human Settlement Memphis, Tenn.-The national conference of charities and correction and the southern sociological congress held largely attended and interesting meetings in this city, week ending May 9. The race question was freely discussed by both colored and white speakers at each of these two national organizations. Following the meeting of the above named bodies on Monday evening, May 11, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held a large mass meeting in Avery chapel. The more advanced doctrines of the association on the race question were outlined by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of the Talladega (Ala.) college. This meeting was freely advertised in the white papers of Memphis. Large display notices appeared in the News-Sclimitar and Commercial Appeal stating that "all persons who love the truth and dare to hear it were cordially invited." An enormous audience packed Avery chapel and great enthusiasm prevailed. Dr. Spingarn urged all colored men and women of all shades of opinion or schools of thought to forget faction and to stand together in battling for their rights as men and citizens. He declared that the Negro problem could never be solved aright until every black man exercised the full rights of the franchise and had an active share in the administration of justice. White men could never vote properly for black men, and black men should never rest satisfied until they occupied positions of trust and responsibility in legislatures and courts of justice, said Dr. Spingarn. Then, and only then, could both races work together on equal terms for the best interest of their common country. UPLIFTING THE HEATHEN. Notable Progress Made by Baptist Missionaries in Central Africa. At the national convention, held in Ebenezer church, Boston, in 1897, an Englishman, Joseph Booth, who had been trading and laboring as a lay missionary in central Africa, visited the convention. He brought with him to the United States an African youth, who looked frail and not very promising for long life. Disappointed and disheartened by his failures to get the co-operation of the Baptists (white or colored) in the United States, Mr. Booth abandoned CARLISLE NEW BAPTIST CHURCH, CHIRADZULU, CENTRAL AFRICA. NEW BAPTIST CHURCH, CHIRADZULU, CENTRAL AFRICA. his plans and gave the African youth to the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board of the national convention. Dr. Jordan put the boy in charge of Professor G. W. Hayes, president of the Virginia seminary and college, at Lynchburg, Va. After three years an attending physician informed the board that unless the youth was returned to his native land he would die. At the close of his third year at the seminary he was set apart to the work of the ministry, and during December, 1900, he returned to his native country as Rev. John Schilembue. Rev. Mr. Cheek joined the young man, spending seven years at the same mission station in Africa. Miss Delaney soon followed, spending five years, so today Negro Baptists, have their best mission station at Chiridzulu, British Central Africa. The ultimate aim of all foreign boards is a prepared native ministry. The foreign mission board can boast of Rev. Schilbembe of central Africa, Rev. Koti and Rev. Menzle of South Africa as some of the best equipped native missionaries in all Africa. These, with the twenty young people in the schools of America, preparing for their life work, three of whom are pursuing courses for medical missionaries, speak volumes for Africa's future uplift. They make the Negro Baptists' contribution to Africa beyond computation. All loyal members of the denomination should feel encouraged over the splendid outlook of their work in foreign fields. Important Meeting For Educators The annual meeting of the North Carolina colored teachers' assembly will be held at Shaw university, Raleigh, N.

PROMOTER OF GOOD WORKS. Oswald G. Villard Concludes Western Tour with Speech in Cleveland Tour With Speech in Cleveland. The new south's growing spirit of friendliness toward the Negro is the theme of Oswald Garrison Villard of New York, president of the New York Evening Post company and treasurer of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, who is making a brief speaking tour of important cities of the middle west in a campaign in the interest of the association's work. Mr. Villard is a prominent champion of the cause of the Negro, and his attacks on the reactionary forces which are seeking to check the Negro's progress in the south have occasioned much recent interest, Mr. Villard spoke at Kansas City, Kan., on Wednesday, May 13, making two addresses and being entertained at lunch by the City club. His next speech was made in Topeka, Kan., on Thursday, May 14, and on Saturday, May 16. Mr. Villard spoke in Indianapolis, Ind. His final talk of the tour was made in Cleveland on Monday, May 18.

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.

Greatest and Most Exciting Scenes Ever Witnessed at Five Points—Page and Al Rivers Tickled Over Great Triumph—Scottie Williams, Kid Dinge and Kid Bell Victors. Whether a smoker given by the Reo Club, an exclusive residential club at Five Points, would be a success or not was the perplexing question to be solved by Page and Al Rivers, the pleasing promoters. To their credit it can be truly said that Five Points was thoroughly awakened by the boxing event. Men who had never witnessed a prize boxing contest before, crowded into the hall. Women led on by the curiosity of seeing how a contest was conducted, what and how things looked and were done, were there in goodly numbers and furnished much enthusiasm and spirit throughout the contest. The boxing headquarters were at the Reo Club and consisted of reading and writing rooms, private dining and leisure rooms with a small cafe kitchen in the rear. Even this inviting place was alive with boxing fans, each expressing his opinion of the outcome of the fight. And shortly after 9 p.m. the exhibition of clever boxing between Scottie Williams, Denver's clever and champion welterweight, and Young Pebo of New York City. This event merely went to demonstrate the skillfulness and agility used in the doings" and then came the Dinge-Brown contest. Promoter the Al Rivers announced the participants and a large round of applause greeted him as he spoke of the Club and its prospective bouts. While the seconds and the contestants were conferring, Promoter the Al Rivers presented Thunderbolt Smith. "Big Jack Thompson, Missouri's show-me heavyweight; Billy King of Colorado Springs and Smiling Jim Johnson, the Texas Kid, and Unknown Shubert (white), who fights Gilbert at Colorado Athletic Club soon, and many other fisticible celebrities. Kid Dinge and Brown began the mill with favors slightly in favor of Brown. It took but a few seconds to change the sentiment. Brown led off with a stiff right swing. Dinge blocked. Brown feinted with left and swung right uppercut to stomach. Dinge defends gracefully. The crowd begins to cheer Dinge because of his coolness and perfect ease and clever defense. Brown seemed more anxious to demonstrate his superiority and rushes Dinge, who now takes the offensive Geo. D. Hall. Grand Musu Tuesday Two W One Ladies Solid Gold over $10.00.

Brown gets in two good blows just as round closes. In the second and third rounds Brown and Dinge mix fiercely. Severe blows are given and taken with Dinge bringing the crimson from Brown's nose and mouth. Everything is Dinge now, the eager crowd is on its feet yelling, excitement is at fever heat, bets are readily exchanged while the men are resting for the next round. Brown's punishment is beginning to tell on him. Dinge, confident at his success, takes the aggressive. In the fourth and fifth rounds the battle is fierce and Brown is receiving a terrible beating but is game to the core. Dinge takes many hard blows to deaden Brown, who is weakening, and with left jab in the stomach, Dinge knocks Brown off of his feet and Brown falls on his back wiggling, trying to get up, while the count is on, and cannot rise. Dinge was carried from the ring as winner. Battle Royal. Five Five Points bantams entered the ring and the odds were on the "big" boy. The gong sounded and all the "little" boys went for the big boy hammer and tongs and finally three were pushed out, or knocked out, and one walked out of the ring and the battle royal was declared a draw. Kid Bell vs. Pie Davis. This bout was a sort of a disappointment to the fight fans as there was very little fighting and that was mostly forced on by Bell. In the first round Bell, who had previously knocked out and won another decision over Pie Davis, started the fight with Pie Davis crouching and covering his face and body. Bell forced the fighting in every round and while he tried in the third and fourth rounds to knock out Davis, he could not. But to Davis' credit, in the third round he, with a terrible left swing, caught Bell and knocked him down about three feet distance. Davis rooters went wild. Bell closed in and was more careful, but Davis never took the offensive but stood and always covered. Now and then he would strike back. Bell was given the decision upon the ground that he led the fight all the way through. If Bell had acted like Pie Davis, who never took the offensive, the men would have been looking at each other yet. Bell tried to force the fight but Pie was evidently afraid to mix with Bell. The Reo Club went after the people, reached them and they responded in large number. Never has so much enthusiasm and spirit been created by the Reo Club. Everybody is talking about the successful event and praising Al. Rivers for his nerve in attempting to find pleasure for the Five Points sport enthusiasts. The Reo Club is the attractive point in Five Points. Mr. Rivers announced that he will pull another big event off in the near future. Watch for announcement. MIZPAH ART CLUB MAKES GRAND SUCCESS. The Presentation of the McDaniel Sisters Complete—Miss Dietta Williams Makes "Hit"—Five Hundred People Present. Never has any club produced such a constant, uninterrupted series of hearty laughter, pleasant ebullitions of joy and pleasure in such a ludicrous manner as did the Mizpah Art Club last Tuesday night at Fern hall. The hall was crowded by the city club ladies and their friends. Every club in the city had its representative there to assist and encourage the young club of this city to get its delegates' fare to the State Federation. But the female minstrel alone, exclusive of the worthy object which caused the entertainment, was enough to pay over and over again the price of admission. As minor characters Mrs. Herman Fields sweetly sang the song "Last Night Was the End of the World," while a great ovation was visited upon Miss Etta McDaniel-Goff when she sang Mr. Paul Caldwell's latest composition, "Love Is the Tenderest Flower." In the afterpiece, "Stepchildren," the maid, Mrs. A. Rice, Mrs. Herman Fields, as stepmother; Mrs. Adrian Mackey, Mrs. Robert Robinson, Mr. Jasper Splivens, and McDaniels, as assistants, deserve more than passing mention. The recurring laughing scenes of the minstrel from the opening to the close were replete with clean, witty jokes, filled with funny suggestions, so ludicrously delivered. Mrs. Hattie McDaniel-Hickman acted as a veteran of the burn stageded. She knew how to dress, act and say things to keep the house in a complete uproar of laughter all the time. "Don't Toot," "The Bald Head Moon" and her song of "San Francisco Bound," and her graceful and artistic tango with her brilliant trimmings plunged the large audience into the deepest and heartiest laughter. Imagine a person with cactus hair, each hair sticking out independently to itself, fix in your mind a disfigured, clumsy, blackened 200-pound woman whose color was a deeper black than ten midnight without a sun, then observe a misfit dress whose colors were those of the rainbow with the tango bloomers made of white sheeting, which effect completely harmonized with her big awkward feet full of corns. When she batted her eyes it looked as if two white marbles were placed in a bucket of soot and when she opened her mouth it looked like the bottomless pit. Such was the role played by the comedian, Mrs. Hattie Hickman. Her very appearance as she stared at you would cause you "to crack your sides laughing." And then her funny manner of delivery, assisted by her partner, Miss Dletta Williams, made a sight never to be forgotten. In the quarrel and the love scene the following expressions were coined by the comedians: "Marshmellow pong pong with candied peaches." "Midnight brunette with the gummy-fuggy smile," "smokestack blonde with the tango and chocolate yum yum ears," "sweet dreams with the banana nose" and an "ice cream Sunday with a oochy-coochy gooos." "Don't Toot." The female minstrels made an exceptional good effort to please and were successful in every degree and the Mizpah Art Club should feel proud of its success in every way. Don't toot. UPLIFT WORK IN LIBERIA Little West African Republic Needs Better Educational Facilities. Better Educational Facilities. Dr. J. Edenstone Barnes of Liberia, ex-minister of public works, now president and director of the Society For the Establishment and Maintenance of the Liberian Industrial Training Institution and Schools, gave a twenty minute talk Monday night, May 11, in Cleveland hall chapel at the Hampton (Va.) institute. Dr. Barnes dwelt briefly upon the history of Liberia and very forcibly brought to the attention of his audience the condition of the aborigines, who comprise 70 per cent of the population of over 1,500,000. Owing to lack of funds no provision has been made for taking civilization back in the hinterland to the tribes there who are anxious to be educated. Dr. Barnes expects when he returns to Liberia to establish elementary schools in suitable centers and also a higher industrial school at some healthful location in the hinterland. osters! W. H.
