of the United States declared at the close of the Civil War, could not have been preserved without the aid of black arms. Indeed, that the nation was so long rent asunder is due solely to the fact that the Confederate States enjoyed to the full the support of black arms out stretched in anxious longing toward the North which, bent on Union and not on freedom, contemptuously spurned the service of the Negro until dire neccessity drove the Washington Government to enlist Negro troops and promise the black people their freedom in exchange for their services.
The consideration which actuated Lincoln, as the chosen leader of all the American people—and at that time all the American people meant, as it means today in many quarters, some of the white people and none of the other peoples—were not altruistic, because a whole nation is seldom actuated by altruistic motives, if indeed there be any such thing as thoroughgoing unselfishness in human nature, either in the individual or the group. The meeting of the Negro and the white man in modern civilization was in the nature of a business agreement, according to which the former was to be baptized and to learn to wear clothes, in return for which favors he was to cultivate lands and do other service for the white man. This meeting and agreement did not take place where other white men or Indians could be obtained to do what was required of the Negro. The arrangement might have worked well and harmoniously for all, if in time the white man, as he grew rich from Negro labor, did not completely abrogate his obligations to the black man while he continued to exact from the latter tribute in excess of the stipulations in the contract, at the same time closing to the black man every possible avenue of escape from his condition. This breach of faith was wisest in the United States and, consequently, the remedy taken to close it was extremest in this country. But the chasm has not yet been completely filled and this because of the studied effort in some quarters to keep it open by cheating the Negro of his pay for his second great service to the white man, a service which would not have become necessary but for the white man's duplicity and deceit with regard to the original contract. Clearly, then, the solution of the problems arising from the presence of the black man in America, problems which in many respects have been rendered more acute and difficult since the Civil War, lies in giving due consideration to the demands of the Negro for a just reward for his services
Except from those who were not directly profit-sharers in this infamy, there was no hope for its abolition on humanitarian grounds. England was the first to abolish the institution itself in her dominions, because the mass of the English people received no benefits from slavery. Similarly, in the United States the sentiment against this evil was strongest in the northern states because the people thereof, being removed from this institution, were able to see more clearly its pernicious features than could those who were involved in the system. With the exception of the ports from which the slave traders made their clandestine sallies, the North received no benefit from slavery and various states had therefore abolished it. When, therefore, the attempt was made to introduce into the new states and territories an economic system which would have proved disastrous to the institutions of the free men of the North who desired to be the principal occupants of these new lands, the whole country was plunged into a war which resulted in the legal abolition of slavery in the United States. Without bloodshed slavery had been abolished in the French colonies in 1848 for reasons analogous to those which had led to its abolition in British possessions in 2834. In 1863 the Dutch emancipated their slaves, and a quarter of a century later the last vestiges of property in human beings had been removed from the Spanish and Portuguese countries in America.

It is altogether to the credit of those far-seeing patriot and humanitarians in the United States and the other slaveholding countries who insisted on keeping before the public mind the monstrous evil which the system of slavery was, not only to its evident victims, but as well to its temporary beneficiaries, that their vision was made more clear by reason of their comparative remoteness from the object of their disinterested service and often heroic self-sacrifice. Nor can the history of chattel slavery be closed without due consideration to the part that the Negroes themselves played in the destruction of this iniquity. The triumph of Toussaint L'Ouverture in Santo Domingo, the first American country to harbor the black bondsman as it had been the first to destroy the Indian, struck terror into the heart of slavery everywhere and gave hope and encouragement to men who looked to the Negro himself to break his chains. In this country the Negro was emancipated in anticipated payment for his past in preserving that Union which, as the great Commander-in-Chief of the military and naval forces

It is better now than at some future time for the American people to realize that if the white man is not bound to respect the right of the Negro to me, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the light of his growing intelligence the white man must himself be deprived of the privileges and opportunities of freedom. The idea that some human beings were created especially to be the slaves of others is comparatively new, except as regards the attitude of the victor toward the captive in war, and even this has disappeared from modern civilization. The effort to keep the Negro in practical slavery by means of infamous legislative enactments and by more infamous unworded acts, is often defended and abeited by those who know nothing of the history of the Negro on the ground that he has accomplished nothing of value in the thousands of years he has been known to exist. But there is no evidence to show that the people whom the Romans found in Britian were better able to cope with the forces of nature and provide for their wants than were the Negroes at that time or since in their own allotted portion of the earth. Nor is there any reason to suppose that the ancient peoples of Northern Europe whose descendants now dominate the world would have evolved out of their own consciousness a knowledge of the things which were unnecessary to their existence until Roman soldiers transformed the trackless forest into cultivated fields and roads that have stood the test of twenty centuries; replaced the boats of of skins and logs that occasionally crossed the Strait of Dover with galleys that could withstand the storms in the Bay of Biscay and, passing by the Pillars of Hercules, overcome the treachery of the Mediterranean. It is not necessary to inquire what made the peoples of Southern Europe and those on the opposite shores of the great inland sea the custodians and procreators of modern civilization. Suffice it to say that, had the legions of Caesar ascended the valley of the Nile to Omdurman and Knartoum and beyond, instead of crossing the Alps and the Vosges and the Strait of Dover, the Kaffirs of South Africa might now be sending stockholders to operate the coal mines of Britain and live in luxury by the sweat of the brows of the skin-clothed savage progenitors of the race which, mutatis mutandis, is the proud and self-styled Angle Saxon.
Contact with human beings of habits of life different from one's own, together with easy means of communication for such contact, is the basis of
progressive civilization. In this country there are today thousands of white people who, because of their isolation from their fellows, have remained in a condition of stagnant and sterile mentality. Slavery was not the best means which an enlightened civilization would have devised to bring to Negro in contact with his fellows, but it was the means most expedient in a semi-barbarous civilization which had not yet realized the iniquity of property in human beings. Perhaps it was no worse than the slavery to which these semi-barbarians had themselves been subjected to bring them out of worse than barbarism. But to a civilization which has set its face toward the light of truth, of justice, and of the common progress of a common humanity, the only basis of contact with the Negro must be that which recognizes without reservation the manhood of a man.
enver Glrl Wins Prize At Howard.
Miss Gladys Whitmier, the talented step-daughter of Mr. Franklin, of 4449 Cherokee street, of this city, has been attending the Howard University at Washington, D. D., this past winter. The commencement exercises have just been held there, and the many friends of Miss Whitmier will be pleased to learn that in the general map contest, she had the best map out of 250 and, therefore, her name was placed upon the Douglas Loving Cup.
Besides being the recipient of this honor, at the commencement exercises, the other evening amidst the applause of the large crowd present, her name was called and she was awarded the prize of $5.00 for having made the highest average for both semesters in Geometry out of a class of about 300 students.

PHYSICIAN AND BUSINESS MAN
How Dr. H. M. Green Solves Hard Problems.
Steady Advance of Man Who Worked His Way Through College, Founded Hospital and Became Foremost In His Profession — Great Organizer, Promoter and Devout Churchman.
Knoxville, Tenn.—From a farmer in a backwoods county in Georgia to one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the race is the record of Dr. Henry M. Green of this city, who enjoys a lucrative practice and is foremost in almost everything that is for the moral and intellectual development of his people. He was born in Barton county, La., Aug. 26, 1876. He received his early education in the public schools of his native county, after which he entered Knoxville college, where he prepared for his professional work. He graduated in 1805, having worked his way through college.
His parents were unable to give him any assistance in his school work, but he decided that an education was within his reach and declared that he was going to have it. He believed in the proverb, "Where there is a will there is a way." He had the will and found a way.
With his little learning from the Georgia public school he was prepared to do three things—be a Pullman porter, work in the coal mines or teach school. He used one of these during the vacations and did not have trouble in finding employment. He was a college graduate in bed making on a sleeping car and in digging in the coal mines, and every dollar earned in these places he invested in brains.
Finishing at Knoxville college, he decided to study medicine because he had made up his mind to be a physician and surgeon. He went to Chicago, and when the Northwestern university threw open its doors in September, 1896, he was among the first to enter. He made such rapid progress that he was appointed an interne in the postgraduate medical school in Chicago. In this he got both theory and practice. He served out his time and then returned to Knoxville and finished his work in the Knoxville Medical college in 1901.
Dr. Green decided to take a more thorough course in medicine and surgery and went to Edinburgh, where he pursued these subjects under the most competent instructors. While in Scotland he visited London, Vienna and Berlin. He gained much general knowledge by travel and observation. Having well qualified himself for his profession he returned to America and began the practice of medicine in Knoxville, Tenn.
In order to have the best facilities for doing real work, he established the first hospital among our people in this section of the country. He has been doing general surgical work ever since. He is now the surgeon in chief of the Wallace Memorial hospital in this city, where he performs many difficult operations during the year. It is putting it mildly to say that Dr. Green ranks with such surgeons as Drs. D. H. Williams and G. C. Hall of Chicago and Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington.
As a churchman he is very active, being a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church and is chairman of the trustee board. When it comes to the promotion of education he is always found in the front. At this time he is an active trustee of Roger Williams university, Nashville, Tenn., and Nelson Merry college, Jefferson City, Tenn. He is one of the surgeons for the Knoxville, Severville and Eastern Railroad company, the first member of his race in this city to hold such a position and the only one. For four years Dr. Green was a member of the Knoxville city council, and during his administration one of the best school buildings in the state was erected, and it now bears his name. As a member of the city council he had the respect of all the members and the personal friendship of the mayor of the city.
One year ago Dr. Green called together several men with money and told them that it was possible for the race to operate a coal yard in Knoxville. While many people said that it would not do, he convinced Dr. J. J. Johnson and C. H. Fisher, and they put down the money. Thus the Colored Coal company, with a capital stock of $5,000, all paid in, was begun. A coal yard was fitted up, and because of the business standing of Dr. Green there was no trouble in getting all the

ANNUAL MEETING OF PHYSICIANS
Medical Association to Hold Session In Raleigh.
FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM
Local Committee In North Carolina Capital Busy With Plans For Entertaining the Sixteenth Annual Session of the National Organization. Noted Men to Conduct Clinics.
The sixteenth annual session of the National Medical association will be held in Raleigh, N. C., from Aug. 25 to 27, inclusive. The invitation for this meeting was extended by the North Carolina Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical association and was supplemented by personal invitations from the mayor of Raleigh and the president of the board of trade. The physicians in the city of Raleigh have organized into an effective committee and, aided by an enthusiastic citizens' body, are making every preparation to insure the success of this session of the National Medical association.
The meeting which was held last year in the city of Nashville, Tenn., was without doubt the greatest in the history of the organization. The attendance was unusually large, and the sessions held in the various sections of surgery, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy were marked with interest and enthusiasm. The papers read on the various subjects were of the highest order and showed that the men are making great advances in personal research. The clinics were numerous and very interesting.
The men of North Carolina are determined that the session to be held in Raleigh shall surpass the one held in Nashville in 1913 and to that end are sparing no efforts to carry out their plans. Shaw hospital, which has been temporarily closed, will be opened during convention week for the holding of clinics. There will be a number of these in all the departments of medicine.
Some of those who have already indicated their intention to be present and to conduct clinics are: Drs. Curtis, Warfield and Carson of Washington; Hunter of Lexington, Ky.; Brown of Birmingham, Ala.; Williams and Daley of Chicago. With such an array of distinguished surgeons as these there is no doubt that every department of surgery will be thoroughly demonstrated.
The medical clinics will be conducted by Drs. Roberts of New York city, Williams of Chicago, Townsend of Nashville, Tenn; McCleary of Jacksonville, Fla., and Turner of St. Paul, Minn. The dental clinics will be conducted by Drs. Ferguson and Ramsey of Richmond, Va.; Chapman of Kansas City, Mo.; Landers of Tuskegee, Ala.; and Anderson of Jacksonville, Fla. There will be numerous demonstrations in the pharmaceutical section which will be under the charge of Dr. Marble of Yazoo City, Miss., and Dr. McCauley of Raleigh, N. C. There is every indication that the attendance will be very large, for the secretary of the association has been informed from all sections of the country that the profession is thoroughly awakened to the needs and benefits to be derived from the National Medical association. The general secretary, Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, N. J., is arranging a program that will include a variety of subjects in all the departments of medicine. The officers of the association are Dr. A. M. Brown, president; Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, vice president; Dr. E. J. La Branche, second vice president, and Dr. George E. Cannon, chairman executive board.
Mississippi Medical Association.
The fourteenth annual meeting of the Mississippi Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Surgical association, recently held in Jackson, Miss., was well attended. The meeting was held for two days, and the sessions were presided over by that eminent student of the medical profession, Dr. D. W. Sherrod of Meridian, Miss., president of the association.
The program was carried out by divisions, with a chairman of each from the different cities in the state, as follows:
Medicine, Dr. E. W. Moore, Jackson; surgery, Dr. L. T. Miller, Yazoo City; dentistry, Dr. C. L. Barnes, Jackson; pharmacy, Dr. William P. Harrison; Vicksburg; scientific research, Dr. R. L. Johnson, Jackson; necrology, Dr. J. M. May, Moss Point.

Weunded Man Refused Admission ,to
Pottsville (Pa.) Hospital Dies.
The evil effects of race prejudice
werp bronght prominently to pubilc
view in Pottsville, Pa. on May 20.
when an effort was made to have
George Baxter, who had been severe-
ly wounded in a mine explosion, ad-
Mitted to the Pottsville hospital. Mar-
tin Dolan, a contract miner for whom
George Baxter ‘worked, obtained a
mandamus which would have adwit-
ted the wounded man to the hospital,
but while the authorities of the inst!-
tution were wrangling in court over
Baxter's admission he died.
‘One of Baxter's eyes had been blown
out while at work and tho other #er!-
ously injured. which required « speedy
Operation, Mr. Dolan offered to pay
all the extrn expense of a priyate
ward, but the hoxpitn! offiefals refemed
to permit Buxter’s entrance until the

PIONEER AMONG BUSINESS MEN
Ability of J. W. Crockett to Master Obstacles.
BELIEVES IN ORGANIZATION.
Career of the Founder of a Large Business Concern In Charlotte, N. C., Who Knows How to Manage—Leader In Laymen's Movement of the A. M. E. Zion Church.
Charlotte, N. C.-Foremost among the business men of this city and section of the state is J. W. Crockett. He is a native of Lancaster, S. C., where he received the rudiments of his early education and afterward graduated from the Lancaster high school. Young Crockett was left fatherless at the age of fifteen, and upon him devolved largely the support of his mother, a sister and two brothers, but he shouldered the responsibility like a man. He has always been ambitious and self reliant.
Twenty years ago he married Miss Elizabeth Frazier and made Rock Hill, S. C., his home for four years. During his residence in the last named town he was employed by the firm of R. T. Fewell & Co. It was in 1895 that he decided to make this city his permanent home. He was employed by J. G. Hood & Co. for a short time and then became janitor for the Young Men's Christian association. He held this position until he became interested in the insurance business, taking the agency for a well known company in this city.
While holding the position of traveling agent, Mr. Crockett made a thorough study of the business. He toured the states of North and South Carolina for his employers and was successful in arousing great interest in the concern among the masses. After giving up the agency for this company Mr. Crockett in 1906 decided to engage in business for himself and subsequently organized the Afro-American
M.
Insurance company with the co-operation of Bishon T. H. Lomax, Dr. D. J. Sands and other well known and influential men.
The concern was started in a small way, the founder being the only person giving full time to the business, and the office consisted of one room and a table in the A. M. E. Zion publishing house in this city. As the business increased one clerk was employed, and after a short while other men of ambition, having a desire to assist in building up a large business concern among our people in this section, became interested in the work and joined with Mr. Crockett in a big business campaign. The result was the final establishing of the company on a paying basis, with a number of employees, all members of the race.

work was the purchase of a site on which has been erected a three story brick structure in which the company now has its headquarters. The first floor is occupied by a druggist and an undertaker. Part of the second floor is used by the company for offices, and the other part is rented to a land company and a practicing physician. The third floor is occupied by the People's Independent Order of True Reformers. The people in this section have caught the spirit of co-operation and there are many business establishments in this city and vicinity which are being successfully conducted by members of the race as the result. Seeing the need of an office in South Carolina for the accommodation of its patrons the company has purchased a site in Rock Hill, S. C., on which has been erected a two story brick structure, similar in design to its building in this city.
Besides his business interests Mr. Crockett is a zealous and widely known churchman. He is much interested in the laymen's movement of the A. M. E. Zion denomination, to which he is giving considerable time. He believes in organization for uplift among our people along all lines and says that the sooner the race learns to push its claims for justice and equality, as provided in our federal constitution, the sooner will such be recognized and accorded to the colored citizens throughout the nation.
OFFICIAL PLANS FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS.
Nashville, Tenn.-At a special meeting of the Sunday school congress official board and the National Baptist Publishing board recently held it was decided that the Nashville delegation to the ninth annual meeting of the Sunday school congress to be held in Beaumont, Tex., would leave Nashville on Monday night, June 8, or early Tuesday morning, June 9.
It was decided to go by way of the New Orleans gateway. The secretary of the Sunday school congress stated that an effort would be made to have a special train this year as heretofore and that in view of the fact that selections of delegations were coming in so fast the prospects were that a special train would be necessary. He also stated that he did not know how many of the northern and eastern delegates would come through Nashville, but that he had received several letters from points north and east asking if it were possible to go by way of Nashville. He has replied to each, saying that this information would have to be given to them by the various railroad representatives.
The committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors are the members of the executive committee, which is composed of Drs. Gibson, Bendy and Williamson and Professor J. P. Eugene. The chairmen of the various committees are: Arrangements, Dr. M. E. Robinson; reception, Dr. C. H. McDade; entertainment, Dr. M. Hurd; decoration, Dr. W. H. Holland; music, Professor L. L. Prater and Joseph D. Turner; homes, J. R. Jacobs assignment, Professor Thomas T. Pollard and J. P. Eugene; solicitation, John H. Rhone. With these active workers already in line the work of the congress is in safe hands.
Railroad Protest Days Announced.
Having received answers to his letters from the officials of the various railroads throughout the south with reference to better accommodations for colored people. Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued a call for railroad day and names Sunday and Monday. June 7 and 8. On the days named in the call Dr. Washington asks churches, secret societies, business leagues, women's clubs and all other agencies for uplift among our people to send representatives to the railroad companies which operate cars with unequal accommodations with a view of having this evil corrected. For an evil it is, and more. It is a direct violation of the law which requires railroads which operate separate coaches for white and colored passengers to provide equal accommodations.
Valuable Reforms Perfected In Short Space of Time. SCHOLARLY AND ENERGETIC
Pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church
In New York is One of the Most Active Uplifters of His Countrymen
Enlivened Life of His Church Wonderfully.
New York.—Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, one of the most scholarly and progressive of the younger school of preachers, celebrated his third anniversary as the pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist church with appropriate and special anniversary exercises, Sunday, May 17. The day was notable in the history of the church, and the exercises were the most brilliant seen in connection with its history. Dr. Hayes' anniversary was celebrated in connection with the thirty-sixth anniversary of the church, and during the long history of the congregation it has never been in better condition than at the present time.
During the three years' pastorate of Dr. Hayes he has brought about a complete reformation in the life of the church, until today the new features inaugurated by Dr. Hayes make Mount Olivet Baptist church one of the most thoroughly modern churches conducted by the race in this country. Dr. Hayes came to Olivet when it was passing through a crucial period and when
10
REV. W. P. HAYES, D. D. wise and executive leadership was needed to bring about harmony and good will. Among the new reforms that Dr. Hayes has perfected that have given the church a distinctive tone in the city is the carrying out of a system that has to do with the proper handling of the finances. This system is arranged after the most approved financial system now in vogue in the most progressive churches of the country.
The various departments of the church at the close of the year must submit their budgets to the prudential committee, this committee refers it to the joint board and the board passes it to the corporation for approval. This method is doubtless the most modern method of handling the finances of the church of any system in this city. All moneys raised in every one of the church departments are turned over to the trustees and can be drawn only on a written order from the trustees. This system enables the church to properly account for all money raised. Dr. Hayes' church has abolished the old custom of the table collection. Collection now is made in from eight to ten minutes and with less confusion. The winning power of Dr. Hayes as preacher is seen in the splendid manner in which in the short space of three years he has added over 700 members to the church and raised $32,156.80. He has conducted 152 funeral services, preached 466 sermons and delivered a number of lectures. Eighty-five couples have been united in matrimony by Dr. Hayes, and he has paid 785 sick calls. Many improvements have taken place since his pastorate, and the church today is thoroughly organized and united.
Dr. Hayes, since coming to this city, has won the confidence and esteem of the entire public, irrespective of denomination, and is one of the most forceful and highly respected clergymen in the uplift of the race.
The Rev. W. P. Hayes was born in Granville county, N. C., and is the son of the Rev. W. P. Hayes, one of the pioneer ministers of the M. E. church of the North Carolina conference. Dr. Hayes attended the public schools of Raleigh and Reidsville, N. C., and later entered Bennet college at Greensboro, N. C., from which he graduated in 1808. After teaching three years at the Boydton institute he entered the Virginia Union university and graduated from the theological department in 1907. After graduation he became instructor of elocution at the university, serving in this capacity for one year. He has held the pastorate of some of the best churches in Virginia with eminent success. In November, 1910, he married Miss Carolyn Amee, one of the most accomplished young women of the race. She is especially accomplished as a pianist and is of great assistance to her husband in his church work.
LIBERIAN LEADER VISITS AMERICA
Dr. Reed Here In the interest of Donovan Institute.
WILL EMULATE TUSKEGEE
School to Be Founded With Fund Left by Baltimore Woman, but More Money is Needed—Future President a Clergyman and Educator of Much Note in His Adopted Land.
That matters of great importance in the educational advance of the republic of Liberia are in contemplation is indicated by the visit to this country of Dr. John H. Reed, principal of the projected Caroline Donovan Normal and Industrial institute, which will be located in Great Bassa county, Liberia. The school has been made possible through the turning over to Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul to this country, of $65,000 of the accrued income left by the late Miss Caroline

DR. JOHN HAMILTON REED.
Donovan of Baltimore to the American Colonization society. It will be modeled along the lines of Tuskegee institute.
Dr. John Hamilton Reed is a native of the United States of America and received his full collegiate course at New Orleans university, New Orleans, being graduated from that institution June 2, 1891. Soon after graduation he went to Texas, where he taught for awhile in the normal and industrial institution under the supervision of the department of education of the state located at Prairie View. Tex. He was also for a number of years professor of mathematics at Wiley university, Marshall, Tex.
He was for a number of years connected with the Texas annual conference, being honored as secretary of the conference for nearly ten years. Leaving this conference, he was transferred to the Little Rock conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, where the city of Little Rock felt his leadership in the pastorate of Wesley chapel, the leading church in that conference, for four years. Here, under his leadership, a $30,000 brick church was built. It stands today as the best monument of his efforts in the ministry. In 1905 he was appointed by the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church to the foreign field. Africa, and with his wife, Mrs. Marguerite Louise Reed, and two children, Walter and Florence, began a career of great influence in connection with the work of the College of West Africa at Monrovia, Liberia.
In 1908 Dr. Reed was commissioned by the state department of the United States of America as vice consul general to Liberia and holds that commission still as a bonded officer, under bond sureties in the city of Baltimore. In the month of February, 1914, he was duly appointed and commissioned by his excellency, Daniel E. Howard, president of the Republic of Liberia, as principal of the Caroline Donovan Normal and Industrial Institute, which was established by an act of the national legislature under the trust fund known as the Donovan fund.
The site for the establishment of the educational plant has been duly selected in the county of Grund Bassa, republic of Liberia, upon a tract of land comprising 5,000 acres of land in one of the most productive and beautiful sections in the interior of the republic. Dr. Reed, as principal of the institute, has been duly, commissioned and empowered by the executive government of the Liberian republic to visit the United States for the purpose of interesting other organized financial agencies in this great educational movement.
His further mission is to procure all the necessary materials and equipment for the immediate establishment of the institute under the provisions of the act of incorporation through the Donovan fund made available for this purpose. The president of the board of trustees, with the executive committee, gave the principal full power of attorney in the administration of this fund during his trip to America, to confer with the depositaries of the fund and carry into effect everything necessary for the permanent founding of this important institute in Liberia.

Through the officers of Parker Association Mrs. W. L. Douglass, president; Mrs. A. M. Carriss, Secretary; Mrs. M. G. Patterson, Treasurer, and Mrs. C. L. Campbell, Manager, Lawyer W. B. Townsend is given much credit for his success in a recent case in the district court before Judge Allen. The former treasurer held the money and papers of the organization and refused to give them up only to the proper persons as designated by the court. After proper protection was assured by the court the papers and money were turned over to the clerk of the District court. Lawyer Townsend represented the organization.
The Skillern case was dismissed because the prosecution failed to allege Mrs. Skillern was a citizen of the United States. The district attorney's office did not draw a correct indictment, however, the case ought to be pushed and filed over again directly. The delay only means a better and stronger information next time, that is, if the district attorney's office wants to prosecute the case. We are wondering if they do?

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.

WORK OF TEACHERS' COLLEGE
Dean Moore's Department of Howard University Makes Good Showing.
The special teachers' college edition of the Howard University Record. a pamphlet of thirty-six pages illustrating the work of the Teachers' college from its foundation in 1893. is a magnificent setting forth of the results of the genius and energy of Dr. Lewis B. Moore, who organized and remains dean of the Teachers' college and who is one of the potent factors of that great university.
Dr. Moore was educated at Fisk university and the University of Pennsylvania. He has studied at Clark university under Dr. G. Stanley Hall and traveled in Europe to study school systems and methods in London, Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen. Although a preacher and lecturer and much in demand for pulpit and platform, he has devoted himself with singular zeal to the training of teachers for colored schools.
Since the foundation of the Teachers' college he has graduated 245 students, who are distributed through twenty-two states, the District of Columbia, Africa and the Philippine Islands. Table 1 of the pamphlet contains much interesting information of the occupation of the graduates and the distribution of those who are giving themselves to teaching.
The number of graduates listed in table 1 who have entered the teaching and other professions is 200; number prevented from teaching generally by personal illness or illness in their families, 10; pursuing further studies. 7; engaged in social service work. 3; employed in the government service. 3; in the gospel ministry. 2; practicing law. 2; dentistry. 1; engineering. 1; miscellaneous. 16. The total number of graduates of this first section is 245.
The distribution of teachers and the grade of schools in which they teach are colleges, 12; normal schools, 22; academies, 3; high schools, 17; industrial schools, 15; kindergartens, 20; public, city and rural schools, 105. The wide distribution of these graduates extends the influence of Howard university and also shows the good work which the Teachers' college is do-

Dean Moore has been fortunate in summoning to his aid graduates of some of the most famous institutions in this country and Europe. The colleges and universities represented in his faculty, not including the president of the university, are the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, Brown, Yale, Clark, Atlanta, Fisk and Oxford, England.
Dr. Moore is a specialist in education and psychology and a teacher of rare gifts. He believes in the influence of personal contact in the training of men and insists that the chief function of education is the building of character. Through the efforts of himself and those associated with him at Howard university, we believe this university will exert in the future a still more potent influence in the field of education for the uplift of the colored people all over the country. Howard university was founded in 1807 as the result of the labors of General O. O. Howard and others for the freedmen.

Colorado Athletic Club last Friday night, for the first time in its history, had a promoter of color comfortably fill the large stadium, which easily holds about two thousand people. It was a gigantic proposition to attempt to change the public's custom from a well-beaten path to Eureka hall to a new and untidied place on Broadway. Mr. Stewart was compelled to switch from Eureka hall to the Colorado Athletic Club and was overjoyed to embrace the opportunity to test his promoting ability in pulling success out of seeming defeat. Fully one thousand people responded and went away well pleased with the evening's entertainment. Had the moving picture man been there he would have caught Jack Dillon, champion heavyweight "White Hope;" Jack Thompson, Missouri's big boy heavyweight champion; J. Albert Dorsey, assistant referee and announcer; J. W. Currie, Sr., official timekeeper. The tension of the house grew intense, great hurled to and fro and excitement was soon keyed up to a high pitch. The rooters and boosters were provoking wit and laughter, also mirth with occasional repartees. Sorrow went home crestfallen, the blues became sick, tired, discouraged and took a brief vacation and unpleasantness and cross words were strangers to the joy and good time present. When the events commenced loud talking and all bolsterousness hung their unwelcome faces in shame and anneaked from the room. Battle is on between Dummy, the deaf and dumb athlete of Colorado Springs and Young Brown, Keystone's pride. Young Brown could not knock out Dummy, who was like a cat, here, there and everywhere. Dummy's licks lacked steam and in the fourth round Dummy broke his hand. Draw followed in the sixth.

Admission
Featherweight bantams, whose agility, awkwardness and at times cleverness, puzzled, amused and interested the crowd and gave all kinds of refreshing pleasure, were screams of fun. They fought like little demons; one fought his coat off, one his shoes, while the other two nearly lost their boxing trousers in the mix up. The gay crowd went wild with laughter, and the old Colorado Athletic Club shook with amusement
When Kid King from Colorado Springs squared himself and looked ferocious at Keyes and made one feint, Keyes got scared and shook like a leaf. The crowd yelled confidence in Keyes, who soon contained himself and put up a good fight, winning the decision over King, whom he had groggy several times. King disappointed the crowd.
Bell-Dinge Draw—Men Rematched.
It is hard to write up a fight and leave your opinion out of it altogether. It is much harder to correctly give an opinion when under the influence of both friends of the principals who are claiming victory, but to John W. Currie, Jr., the referee, great credit and honor must be given for his fair and just decision in declaring a draw amid confusion and complex fighting conditions. At times Bell was the aggressor and when he sprained his already broken hand, he stalled with his left hand. No kidney blows were allowed, Colorado Athletic rules barred them, men protected themselves in the breakaway. Dinge refused to shake hands and smacks Bell on left jaw. Bell tries left for jaw. Dinge blocked cleverly. Dinge slow, careful. Bell aggressive, clever and has good foot work. Dinge decides to weigh out man. In the other rounds Dinge takes punishment to get to Bell

with his terrible left jab in stomach. Dinge is clever fighting machine, can take all kinds of punishment to land his blows. He has a terrible kick. It is the opinion of the Star that Dinge could have put Bell out had his seconds sent him in to mix up in fast and furious fighting, especially after Bell had broken his hand. Bell stalled until 13th, 14th and 15th rounds after the 8th round, when fierce exchanges were given and taken by both. Dinge received one left swing from Bell which floored him. Both men were knocked down and often slipped down. We think Dinge did not take the offensive. Only when attacked would he stand up and fight. Most of the fighting up to the eighth was in Dinge's corner, brought there by Bell. After the eighth Bell's licks lacked steam and Dinge grew more aggressive. Yet his seconds seemed to hold him off for some reason. We think Bell can never knock out Dinge, unless he develops a stronger punch and Bell is too clever for Dinge unless Dinge takes the punishment to get a knockout. We will let Abe Pollock the sporting writer of the News, tell his story of the fight. The men have been rematched to fight as soon as Bell's hand will permit it. It is under the care of a doctor:
KID BELL DRAWS WITH KID DINGE IN 15-ROUND GO.
Colored Gladiators Put Up Fast Exhibition, Showing Both Speed and Science—Keyes Wins Over King—Jeff Clarke and Jack Thompson to Meet in Main Event Latter Part of Month.
Kid Bell of Denver and Kid Dinge of Salt Lake City boxed fifteen fast rounds to a draw decision last night before a large crowd at the Colorado Athletic Club. The bout was the main event of a boxing program staged by the Keystone Athletic Club, a colored organization of Denver, and the colored lightweight title of both Colorado and Utah was at stake.
By the ruling of Referee John Carey Bell must be satisfied with the honor of holding the Colorado title, while the other man retains the Utah honors.
The main event was as pretty and as scientific a battle as was ever staged in the Western country, with all the cleverness, sidestepping and blocking that goes among the big boys. While Bell was the cleverer of the two, using a jab and a straight left to the body, his blows lacked the steam to do any great damage. Dinge was the more aggressive during the bout, and his blows, when landed, carried a lot of force back of them.
It was a bout that pleased the large audience all the way, and the storm
bookane BoOK!
TIME!
of applause that greeted the two little gladiators made one think that the storm of the afternoon had been renewed.
In the eighth round Bell was at his best. He landed a hard right swing on Diagee's jaw in this period and the Utahan went to the mat. He was up in a second, however, and from then on Diagee forced Bell around the ring from corner to corner and had Bell on the run.
The semi-windup brought together Kid Keyes of Texas and Billy King of Colorado Springs. It was a good fight for the first three rounds, but after that the Texas man kept boring in and with right swings on King's jaw soon established a big lead. Keyes was given an earned decision by Retreee Dorsey at the end of the sixth round.
The preliminary was between Young Brown of Denver, a brother of K. O., and Kid Dinge, the dummy of Colorado Springs. They fought six fast rounds to a draw. Both had the audience in an uproar from the start as they acted like a pair of jumping jacks in the ring.
Jeff Clarke, the "Fighting Ghost" of Joplin, Mo., and Jack Thompson, who recently knocked out Bob Watkins in one round, have been matched by Promoter Stuart to meet at the C. A. C. for the Keystone club, the latter part of the month.

THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND COMMENTS.
At the monthly meeting of the People's Sunday Alliance, on the 31st ult., a most interesting discussion of the evidence of discrimination in the jury service, was introduced by Mr. Ed Fountain. Mr. Fountain, who has been associated with the court's customs in these matters for a number of years, gave facts from interviews and circular literature that aroused considerable interest and discussion. Summed up the results was the appointment of a committee who should draft suitable document to forward to the district judges who are responsible for the jury commissioner, and also to mail to the commissioner a list of suitable persons for the jury services to represent the race.
Mrs. Webb read a thought provoking article from "The Outlook," written by a Southern woman in a plea for common justice for the Negro. The numbers were both interesting and instructive to those present and of importance to the whole race in this community.

Can't go NOW! I must be at the great Usher's' contest at Shorter Thursday evening, June 18th. Besides the champion drills between Central and Shorter will be the world to me. All Denver will be there.
Coughs and Colds Weaken the System
Continued Coughs, Colds and Bronchial troubles are depressing and weaken the system. Loss of weight and appetite generally follow. Get a 50c bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery today. It will stop your cough. The first dose helps. The best medicine for Stubborn Coughs, Colds and all Throat and Lung Troubles. Mr. O. H. Brown, Muscatine, Ala., writes: "My wife was sick during the hot summer months and I honestly believe Dr. King's New Discovery saved her life." Good for children. 50c and $1.00, at your Druggist.
Mrs. Esther Morris scored a big success in every way when she was so fortunate as to secure the services of Mrs. Neary Threet as drill master of several blushing maidens as against Mrs. A. E. Reynolds, whose reputation as a champion driller is so widely known. The Carnival was replete with fun, amusement and inspiring entertainment presented by the young damels in the military arts. The contests were close and exciting and a neat sum was realized.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND SOCIAL CLUB.
In recognition of her devotion and loyalty to the interests and ideals of the Self-Improvement and Social Club, Mrs. Georgia Conte, president, received an appreciation at its meeting Saturday, in the form of a beautiful shower of roses. The club feels elated over the beneficial results of this year's work, and desires to express its appreciation to the public who have assisted in any form whatever to make its entertainments successful. The club specialized in study and literature this year and through the competent chairmanship of Miss Howard, great benefits have resulted. Interest in the art department has been maintained through the capable instruction of Mrs. Dishman, who keeps in touch with the leading artists of the city. Several of the ladies have branched out in painting. Through Mrs. Ida Holley, chairman of charity, many needy cases have been relieved in addition to the regular visits to the hospital. Financially much credit is due Mrs. Victoria Morris, who, in addition to raising her pledge, also raised a large amount in the contest for the lunch cloth, and a neat sum for ways and means. As is well known this club purposes to build a club home in Denver, and every cent which is raised publicly is deposited in the bank to that end. Funds for charity except in extreme cases are raised by a free-will offering. The instructor is paid from the weekly dues also the State Federation expenses are defrayed by this source, and for every social function, the members are taxed pro rata. The books and literature for study are procured from the library or borrowed from the members.
