This bondedness is secured by property ed away to the top of reservoir hill and that they were denied the same conveniences of a place to eat and enjoy themselves that had been extended all the other excursionists notwithstanding they had been invited here and arrangements had been made with them by the same parties that had made the other arrangements. At the same time these arrangements were made it was known that it was a colored church and if the management considered them undesirable visitors, they should not have been invited. If it subsequently considered them undesirable visitors it should have notified them sometime ago that their excursion was not desired here. These excursion dates were published in the Sifting-News and Gazette four weeks ago. Mayor McCelland was called shortly before the excursion train arrived and requested by the management to move the benches and tables to the top of the hill. He politely informed the management that it was through their instrumentality that these excursions were coming here and that each one would be extended the same courtesies regardless of nationally, race or color. While he had not arranged for these excursions to come here yet as far as in his power it lay, he would see that all were treated alike and that he would see that all were treated alike and that he would not remove the tables and benches. He was obliged to go to Georgetown on the morning train and when he returned on the first afternoon train, was very much surprised and incensed to hear that the Hot Springs management had taken snap judgement and had these hauled away. This excursion was composed of as orderly, well behaved and considerate a crowd as has come here and after being invited to come here and then treated in the manner in which they were. was nothing less than inexcusable discourtesy. A large number of these people are employed and have been employed for years by many of the prominent and wealthy families of Denver and no one can doubt for a moment that these influential employers will relish this ignoring of their faithful employees. The railroad company issued them a special train and rates the same as it did all the others. It is certain that a large proportion of the people of this community do not uphold such treatment. The visitors were courteous and they were entitled to the return of the same courtesy. The city authorities had nothing whatever to do with this treatment and do not sanction or endorse it in the slightest degree." It is with the deepest regret and chagrin that we silently listened to the stories of the attempted restrictions and color discriminations against the picnicers of Central Baptist church, who had one days outing in the mountains of Idaho Springs Thursday July 23. We could hardly believe that here in Colorado such a mean and flagrant violation of moral ethics and common decency could have been perverted against innocent, lawabiding and representative citizens and church people, without any cause whatsoever, on the account of the color of the man's skin or his race than that. But the happiest and most inspiring part of it all, is the article from Idaho Springs Sifting-News, which clearly sets the blame upon a few pesty prejudiced persons. The city official nor the railroad company nor anyone responsible for the excursion is responsible for the attempted humiliation. We glory in Mayor Geo. E. McClelland's courage and brave words of defense and we especially thank the weekly Siftings-News for publishing the following article: "On June 16, Mayor George E. McCelland received a letter from Mr. J. F. Sylvester Jr., a representative of the Hot Springs Hotel Co., in Denver, and who was very earnest and successful in booking excursions for this city. In his letter he stated that "We have signed up eight different picnics, which will be in Idaho Springs within the next six weeks." In this letter he stated that "I would suggest that if the various improvements on the grounds which you suggested sometime ago had not been completed' they be hastened along so these folks will have adequate accommodations." The Mayor and council had benches and tables made and two ovens built near the hot springs for these accommodations and they have been used by all the excursions that have been solicited to come here by the representacives of the Springs Co., except the one that was here on Thursday, namely the Central Baptist church. In the letter that the Mayor received specifying the parties with whom Mr. Sylvester had arranged to hold their picnics here and with whom he had "signed up" is enumerated "On Thursday, July 23d, the Central Baptist church (colored) will take up 300 people." In accordance with the agreement "signed up" the members of that denomination came here on Thursday in nine cars and numbering about 375 men women and children. When they went to the picnic ground they found that the benches and tables had all been haul- newspaper. He finds he can get his own papers in London. He finds there are restaurants kept by his compatriots. He eats there. A French play is being acted, he goes to it. And for-conversation with Englishmen he chooses such friends as can talk to him in his own tongue. After such a sojourn he goes back to France under the impression that he has seen a large uncomfortable place where a number of French things are done oddly." In some such way the average investigations are made of the actual conditions among colored people. The Northern white philanthropist goes South under the very best of intentions; but when he gets there, he is rushed into a vortex of Southern social entertainments, is shown the superficialities and none of the solidarity of race life; and returns to his Northern home with no just information upon which to base an intelligent opinion. Yet it has happened and is happening every day, that so called investigators make "authoritative statements based on personal knowledge," when the only information they have goaten was that given them by their prejudiced, unscrupulous and diplomatic Southern host.

Boley, Okla., Owned Entirely by Afro-Americans. FOUNDED BY T. M. HAYNES National Negro Business League's Representative Gives Facts and Figures Which Show Remarkable Achievements and Capacity of Our People For Self Government. By RALPH W. TYLER. Boley, Okla.-To prove that the Negro, as a race, is incapable of self government such proud Caucasians as would arbitrarily assume to serve as accusers, judge and jury for the race are wont to point to that revolution torn black republic, Haiti. If such would but turn their eyes to the southwest they would behold the existence in one state alone-Oklahoma-of eight exclusively Negro towns that are conclusively demonstrating the Negro's capacity for self government and as a town builder, Boley, Taft, Red Bird, Langston, Tatums, Brooksville, Vernon and Rentiesville, all in the state of Oklahoma, testify to the innate peacefulness and the acquired constructiveness of the American Negro. Boley, with its 2,500 exclusively Negro population within the corporate limits of the town and its 10,000 Negro population within a radius of ten miles, which population is a direct contributor to the municipality, is the largest of the eight exclusively Negro towns in Oklahoma and the largest exclusively Negro town on the western hemisphere, being three times the size of Mound Bayou, Miss., the much exploited Negro settlement. I spent several days here in the interest of that wonderfully constructive organization which Dr. Booker T. Washington inspired into existence—the National Negro Business league—carefully investigating this exclusively Negro town, whose stability and orderly government, carefully and conservatively administered, present the conclusive proof that the American Negro is capable of self government. In Haiti a standing army, whose maintenance imposes a burdensome tax upon the country's limited resources, preserves the life of the republic and at the same time contributes to continual disastrous and bloody revolutions. In Boley no soldiers patrol its borders, its streets, or guard its regularly elected officials. Boley is governed not by force of arms, but by the minions of peace. Boley has orderly conducted elections for the selection of governing officials, but no armed revolutions to enthrone an executive. Boley's taxes are assessed by and with the consent of the governed and not by arbitrary officials who "assume" office and power through might. Boley typifies the constructive propaganda of Booker T. Washington rather than the destructive intrigues which foment in the black republic just beyond America's southern sea kissed border. Boley represents Negro advancement. Boley at first was but a mere camp of Negro railroad construction hands, whose foreman was a white man named Boley, from whom it took its name. It was founded by T. M. Haynes, a Negro, who is still living—and a valued citizen of the town—to witness the fruition of his altruistic plans. It was incorporated and chartered as a municipality in 1904. The town, compris- FIVE CENTS A COPY ing 260 acres, laid out with broad streets crossing at right angles, has a bonded indebtedness of but $32,000 and a school district bonded indebtedness of $17,000. This bonded indebtedness is secured by property within Boley whose taxable value is $450,000 and by property within the county whose taxable value is $300,000, making a total of $1,250,000 in property to secure the payment of $49,000 bonded indebtedness. This little town here in the far south west has been called the "Million Dollar Black City" because the volume of business transacted here in 1913 reached $1,000,000 and because the value of the city's realty and the amount its citizens have invested in business tota $1,000,000. In 1913 the Negro merchants of Boley handled $192,000 worth of business, her Negro farmers had bled $250,000 worth of foodstuff and live stock, her Negro cotton buyer bought $325,000 worth of cotton, and her local postoffice did $252,300 worth of business, $250,000 of which represented money passing through the mony order department. The one bank—capitalized, controlled and conducted by Negroes—had individual deposits at the close of business Dec. 31, 1913, amounting to $55,000. This financial showing for a community composed exclusively of people but half a century removed from slavery—from a period when the right to acquire and hold property was denied them both by public sentiment and law—is a splendid attestation to the thrift and industry of our race. The residences, public buildings and stores of Boley compare most favorably with those of any town of like size whose controlling population is made up of the dominant race. In fact, there are many white older towns throughout the west of this and greater size whose residences, public buildings and stores do not compare with Boley's. HAMPTON ALUMNI REUNION Several hundred graduates assembled at the Hampton, (Va.) institute recently for the purpose of celebrating the twelfth triennial reunion of the Alumni association. The program for "alumni day" follows: Business session, luncheon, outing at Bay Shore, Va., and a banquet at Virginia hall. The following officers were elected: William M. Beld, '77, president; Ferdinand D. Lee, '79, vice president; William H. Harrison, '03, recording secretary; Don A. Davis, '09, corresponding secretary; Allen Washington, '91, financial secretary; George J. Davis, '74, treasurer. The executive committee is composed of Fred D. Wheelock, '88, chairman; George J.

Segregation by Legislation a Failure Speaking editorially of the recent segregation ordinance in Norfolk, Va. the Journal and Guide, an influential weekly of the above named city, askr and answers this question: Was the discrimination made because the Negro is not an economic factor in the Ninth ward or because he is not a taxpayer in the ward? No! The Negro pays taxes directly on over half a million dollars' worth of property in the Ninth ward. The discrimination was made because the Negro had no voice at the seat of power. Segregation by legislation will not help this situation, but will intensify it. Church News PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN E. 23RD AVE. AND WASHINGTON ST. PASTOR, J. A. THOS- HAZELL S. T. B.

AUGUST 1st, 1914 OUR 32ND ANNIVERSARY GIFT SALE MASTER OF HIS PROFESSION Great Interest Shown In Painting by Former Pittsburgh Boy, Whose Recent Picture, "Jesus at the House of Lazarus," Created Big Sensation In World's Art Metropolis. Of the American artists who are seeking fame at the world's art metropolis, Paris, it has remained for an American Negro to carry off the prize, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He is a son of a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church. His name is Henry O. Tanner. His salon picture, over which the European critics are enthusiastic, is called "Jesus at the House of Lazarus." The old Biblical saw that a prophet is not without honor but in his own country has been well borne out in the case of Henry O. Tanner. To mention his name in any assemblage of American connoisseurs is to receive a frank stare of ignorance. To mention his name in an assemblage of European artists is to encounter at once frank acknowledgment that you are speaking of a present day master. He was born in 1859. For more than a quarter of a century he has been painting industriously, and many of his best canvases are hung in leading museums both here and abroad. Yet none of the recent books on American artists more than mention him. One work of this kind refers to him incidentally in these words: "A picture by H. O. Tanner, painted with all the oriental surroundings, but with strong religious feeling." This writer says: "His work is curious technically. We stand before a knowledge, solid and sure of itself. The weighty strokes, which, when seen from near by, resemble a veneer of mahogany, evidently come from a flowing and unctuous brush. Through the thick paint there plays a soft light which models the outlines in chiaroscuro." Another critic said of him: "Mr. Tanner is a dreamer and a worker. He works diligently and with a good will, but he produces only two or three canvases a year. 'Because I paint laboriously, he said with a charming modesty. I should rather say 'scrupulously.' He reflects long upon a subject until he is permeated with the spirit of it. He searches out its intimate poetry, at the same time carefully studying its psychological aspect, and even after the general effect has been established he returns to it again and again, tirelessly seeking to improve upon it. I find in his talent something of the genius of Rembrandt." In striking contrast to the judgment of this critic who can liken Tanner only to the great Rembrandt are the things written about the artist by American critics. Unable to gainssay that his "Jesus at the House of Lazarus" is by far the premier among all the exhibitions of American artists at the Paris salon this year one of them can find little more to say of the picture than that the Mary in the picture only expresses irritability in her face and that Martha seems to be bringing in a dish of ice cream. This critic pretends to find many other "anachronisms."

One afternoon he was walking with the bishop in a Philadelphia park when he saw an artist at work painting a hillside. He was then five years old. That night he took a piece of awning from the back of a kitchen door for a canvas and the back of an old geography, with a hole jabbed through it for his thumb, as a palette. He tried to mix some colors on the geography back with but indifferent success. He made the acquaintance of C. H. Shear, a prominent Philadelphia artist, through which tipped to the influence he was an FI. Philadelphia School of Fine Arts. nally, in 1891, after many vicissitudes and much living on starvation rations, he had accumulated enough money to take him to Europe. He started for Paris Jan. 4, 1891. He lived very frugally in the French capital, studying at the Academie Julian. He struggled along unnoticed until a sketch, very much to his own surprise, won him a prize in an annual competition. For many years he was confronted by the most disheartening obstacles. He lived on even less than had marked the "starvation time" in the United States. He got typhoid fever and almost died. After a brief visit to Philadelphia he returned to Paris. Then he painted his first great picture, "Daniel in the Lions' Den." His next great picture was "The Resurrection of Lamur," his first to be purchased for the Luxembourg collection. This made him. He decided then upon a visit to the Holy Land to study the original settings of Bible themes. The Denver Star CHAS. S. MUSE, Editor.

CHAS MUSE HONORS BRIDE AND GROOM, MR. AND MRS. WILLIS W. BARBER, OF OAKLAND. Social Denver Out; Autos Line Street As a compliment to Mr. and Mrs Willis W. Barber of Oakland, Calif., the welcome house guests and recent newly-weds, Mrs. Chas. S. Muse, at her lovely residence at 1221 Gaylord St., in exclusive Capitol hill, gave a charming reception Monday night, in their honor. The veranda and all the rooms of her spacious and conveniently arranged house were tastefully and elaborately decorated apropos of the occasion. The inspirational features of this enjoyable social event were the renditions of the classic musical program with such perfect ease and grace by the Misses Jennie Hicks and Beatrice Thrasheley and Mrs. Phenix Hernon, also Mr. Jacob S. Reid. These young members of social Denver, were especially interesting and full of enthusiasm, as well as an elevating influence for the continuous round of cheerful and happy suggestions, intellectually, musically and emotionally. To harmonize the green and white color scheme and for each particular item to play its part, the numerous and majestic palms with their branching limbs were massed here and there on the veranda and throughout the house and their appearance was only emphasized by the beautiful ferns, bowers of white sweet peas and other cut flowers, which also added new lustre in color. The whole house looked as if a great mass of huge boquets had transformed the Muse residence into a veritable flower garden. On the center table at each corner, cut glass candilabras with three extending lights were placed upon a beautiful piece of Mexican drawwork, artistically draped with chiffon, caught in each corner, forming a "W. B.", meaning "Welcome Barbers." Just inside the hall, leading from the front door the newly wedded couple were surrounded in latticed enclosure of banks of fragrantly smelling white sweet peas, verdant ferns and large palms, and with just sufficient opening, so that the many guests could comfortably and pleasantly greet the bride and groom. This social invasion was a distinct feature of itself. Ladies in beautiful evening gowns, so becomingly and delicately dressed for summer time, and the gallant young men uniformly attired, converted the evening into one of joy and refreshing entertainment and pleasure. The distinguished out-of-town guests were principally Miss Mayme E. Gilliam, Mrs. W. B. Cloman of Pine Bluff, Ark., Mrs. Samuel La Rue and Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Hayes of Elizabeth, Kentucky, and Mrs. Robert Turner, Pueblo, Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Mason of Washington, D. C. The hostess was handsomely gowned and with her characteristically cheerful disposition, assisted greatly in making the social function a most hospitable one. The young bride and groom made a deep impression upon social Denver and no honor too exalted was considered too great or expensive for Denver's former friend and citizen, Mr. Barber. He had always helped in the Y M.C.B. football, Glee Club and Sunday School work and it delighted Denver to thus honor him and his blushing bride. At the table, all lighted up and resplendent with the glistening cut glass, were the smiling ladies of welcome; Mesdames J. B. Moore and Anna Baptiste, gowned in their fascinating costumes. But the picture would not be complete if we failed to direct your attention to those prepossessing young maidens and mesdames busying themselves here and there looking after the comfort and happiness of the 200 guests, such as were, Mrs. Jack Demsey, Mrs. Virginia Webster-Gash, Mrs. Kizzie Jamison, Mrs. Harry Johnson, Mrs. S. G. Turner, and the Misses Oma and Katie White also Miss Margaret Willis. Miss Thelma Thomas dispensed the delicious thirst quenching nectar at the punch bowl. All through this social harmony of passing events one seemed as if he or she were in a long midsummer dream of estacy and complacent gladness.

MISS GOLDEN SMITH GREETS FRIENDS WITH DANCING PARTY. The Informal Dance at Old Colony Hall, Tuesday evening, given by Miss Golden Smith, one of Denver's most charming young ladies, was a notable event in this week's social calendar. From 9 p. m. to 1 a. m., to the sweet strains of music from Morrison's Orchestra, the happy guests indulged in the dreamy waltz, the fascinating schittische and one step, all unmindful of the past day's tasks and the coming tomorrow's worries and cares. The spirit of congeniality was manifest among the guests and mingled with the charming personality of the hostess, made the evening one long sweet dream. The ladies were costumed in pretty, cool summer attire, the beautiful colors blending so as to form an admirable picture, while the gentlemen enjoying the inconventionality of the occasion wore neat silk shirt-waists and light trousers. Miss Smith has a host of friends in Denver, whom she has won by her lovable disposition and unassuming manner. She is a Colorado girl by birth and her social functions are looked forward to by her many friends, who know her to be a charming hostess. There were many out-of-town guests, who enjoyed Miss Smith's hospitality. Among them were Miss Mame Gilliam, Mrs. Dorman, Mrs. Ish, of Pine Bluff, Ark. SYL STEWART GETS WIDE MEN- TION IN NEWS. SYL STEWART, matchmaker for the Keystone Athletic club, announced his card for next month, which will bring together two of the best colored heavyweights in the Western country. He has matched Jack Thompson with Rufus Cameron, for 15 rounds, to take place August 10th, at Colorado Athletic Club. This will be a humdinger. Thompson is well known in this part of the country, as he easily defeated Bob Watkins, Kid Keyes and several local scrappers and has a large following. Cameron comes here well recommended from Los Angeles, where his brother, Jim Cameron, lives, and who is one of the best colored heavyweights on the coast. Rufus has fought such tough ones as Jack Geyer, Charlie Miller, Jack Herrick and Jeff Clark the fighting ghost of Joplin, Mo., and has always given a good account of himself. The main event will be backed by a semi-windup, a preliminary, and a battle royal. Syls says "there will be a hot time in the old town" when these two gladiators meet. This club has put up some of the ing that have been staged in Denver during the last season, and the management states this coming battle will be up to the usual standard of his popular club.

Morrison's Orchestra MEETING OF INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE SEPT. National Organization of Race Leaders Will Meet In New York. Plans for the seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillborn, N. Y., president, are maturing. New York city, the home of the league's present national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, has been selected as the place of meeting for this national convention. The league will hold it as a national conference of colored Americans to confer upon and devise ways and means upon the question of denial of citizenship rights and equal opportunity because of race and color. The fine new Bethel church will be the meeting place and the second week in September the time, probably the 7th and 8th, just prior to the national Baptist convention in Philadelphia, as many of the clergy are expected to attend. The appeal is to every citizen of color, to churches and literary, civic or equal rights societies. Its sentiment is thus expressed: "Out of the world's history of the struggle of races, nationalities and classes of mankind for freedom and equality have come the classic epigram, 'Who would be free themselves first must strike the blow' and 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.' Who in all the world need beed these slogans more than colored Americans, with disfranchisement, Jim Crowism and lynching in the south and denial of civil rights to a greater or less degree even in the north on the increase? "Surely organization of colored Americans for self defense and protection of their lives, liberties and rights is needed, and for this the National Independent Political league, formed in 1908 stands. Come one, come all, to the national conference, at Bethel church, New York city, Sept. 7 and 8, and let churches, literary, civic and equal rights societies send delegates. For particulars address William Monroe Trotter, corresponding secretary, 49 Cornhill, Boston." MYSTIC SHRINERS TO MEET. Delegates From Many Sections Will Attend Sixteenth Annual Session.

Second Annual Meeting to Be Held In St. Louis Aug. 6. Houston, Tex.—Hon. Henry L. Mims of this city, national president of the National Alliance of Railway Postal Employees, has sent official notices to the various locals of the alliance calling their attention to the forthcoming session of the alliance to be held at St. Louis Aug. 6-8. Originally this the second session was to have been held at Savannah, Ga. The St. Louis clerks are highly elated over the compliment paid them, and the local entertainment in honor of the visiting clerks is said to include several new innovations. St. Louis is credited with having perhaps the most representative number of colored clerks in the railway mail service, including among the number the clerk who is said to hold the best examination record of any clerk, white or colored, in the service. Of late years the white mail clerks' organizations have been excluding the colored clerks, and it has been apparent that the colored clerks must be R. & SALLEY come more closely allied. Insurance at cost in the white organizations belag denied the colored clerks, this created one of the most urgent reasons for the alliance. But the problem of organization of a national character doing business throughout the Union was a big one. Henry L. Mims after correspondence with a representative group of clerks evolved a plan which met with immediate approval. Accordingly last October at Chattanooga, Tenn., the clerks from various sections met and organized the alliance for the "betterment of the service," the "promotion of social intercourse" and for "insurance at cost of operation." Upon organization it was found absolutely necessary that some capable person be found to look after the details of the organization and the inauguration of the insurance provisions. Happily, almost as an especial dispensation of Providence. Hon. R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis was prevailed upon to accept the secretaryship of the new organization. Mr. Bailey is one of the most promising younger attorneys in his section of the country and was formerly a postal clerk. In fact, while he devotes all of his time to his practice he is still carried on the rolls of the postoffice department as a clerk, because he is the principal witness in some cases the government is prosecuting, and, though unusual, he has been granted an indefinite leave of absence. Mr. Bailey is an authority on insurance matters. He attended to all the legal preliminaries in chartering the National alliance and has written the charters for several of the state organizations. The alliance today is a healthy youngster with every evidence of a long life. The rank and file of its membership declare that the officers are the most sacrificing and efficient set that ever piloted a similar movement through the treacherous waters of new organization.

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 disease, for it is a fact that hair in an unanesthetic condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Alliance, O.—One of the most highly esteemed colored men in this city is Presley Dunwood, whose life story is a most interesting bit of information. His memory is intimately linked with the daring dash of John Brown of Harpers Ferry, which gave the tocosin of the bloody civil war. Presley Dunwood was the servant of Judge Richard Parker, the noted jurist, who presided at the trial of John Brown. In giving brief bits of information concerning his early career Mr. Dunwood says: "I was born in Clark county, Va., in 1838 and taken from my mother when one year old. At the age of seven I was 'hired out,' in 1851-2 being with a man named Isaac Gantz. In 1853-4 I was 'hired' to Henry Hose of Perrysville, Va. In 1855 I was with John Shumetz and in 1856-7 was 'hired' with a man named Henry Hess in Loudoun county, Va. In 1857 there was a division of the men in some way, and I fell to the ownership of Judge Richard Parker of Winchester. Judge Parker had judicial charge of the courts of both Jefferson and Frederick counties. "John Brown with his handful of men came to the neighborhood of Harpers Ferry on Sunday, Oct. 16, 1859, and on Monday morning at 1 o'clock made his charge and by morning gained possession of the arsenal. There was fighting with much excitement up to 3 o'clock, when a company of Washington marines came up and captured Brown and his men. Brown had with him but eighteen men. "I believe he expected many more, but was betrayed. They did not show up as promised or anticipated. Hayward Shepherd was the first man to be shot in that day of turmoli. He was the toll keeper of the Maryland bridge, as it was called. Brown and his men coming up to Harpers Ferry from the Maryland side. Shepherd would not give up the keys to the bridge to Brown and his men, and he was shot. "The trial of Brown and the men captured with him was held at Charlestown, in Jefferson county. I had charge of Judge Parker's carriage and drove him to and from the courthouse to his home every day during the trial. I often saw John Brown during this time, but did not hear any of the evidence in the trial, as colored people were not allowed in the courthouse. We were given to understand that Brown and his men had attacked the government. I was told the life of the judge was threatened, but I never saw any trouble while driving to and from the courthouse. The trial of Brown alone lasted a period of three weeks and the trial of those with him about three weeks more—six weeks in all. "The men were condemned to death, and Brown was the first to be hanged. Seven men in all were hanged, the hanging having taken place on Dec. 2, 1850. John Brown's wife came and received his body. Parker was not in sympathy with the south in the matter of slavery, but had to do his duty as a judge. "Following the hanging of Brown and his men, slaves were sold rapidly, many owners realizing the probabilities the future held in store. After the election of Lincoln as president there was no sale for slaves at all." "At the beginning of the war I was pressed into the Confederate army and was with that army in the first battle of Bull Run. Following a big fight about Winchester, I was captured by a company of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania volunteers under command of Captain Benjamin W. Morgan, and from that time on I was in the Union army, however, not an enlisted man. I was in the battle at Cedar Mountain, the second Bull Run fight, and saw much of the fight at Antietam. "After the war I accompanied Captain Morgan to Pittsburgh and worked for him for several years, he being engaged in business there, conducting a confectionery store. In 1808, knowing where my mother was, I brought her to Pittsburgh and was with her and cared for her until her death in 1901. A pension had been obtained for mother. My brother Jim was a soldier in the Union army, he being killed in the battle at Petersburg. "After mother's death I left Pittsburgh, coming to Lisbon, and for some years worked at the Hostetter House. Two years ago I came to Alliance from Lisbon with Claud Hasbrouck, and I have since remained here. I never went to school a day in my life, but can read and write, a good old Presbyterian lady at Winchester in about 1600 teaching me to read from the Bible and also to write. I have seen Abraham Lincoln, Johnston, Lee, Grant and others of the noted generals of that day. I have seen President Wilson's father and heard him preach, be having lived and preached in Virginia in that region where my younger years were named." RISE OF DR. D. A. FERGUSON. Marked His Way Through School. Standed Foremost in His Profession. Richmond, Va.—Foremost among the men of his profession in this city is David Arthur Ferguson, doctor of surgical dentistry. He is a native of Portsmouth O., where he was born a little less than forty years ago. His parents are also natives of Ohio, but in 1865 went to Bowling Green, Ky., at which time Mr. Willim B. Ferguson, father of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, became principal of one of the public schools. Young, Mr. Ferguson after completing the public school course at Bowling Green became an apprentice in the dental office of Dr. E. T. Barr, in which capacity he served for three years. His pay in the beginning was $1.50 per month. Having the desire for a higher education, Mr. Ferguson returned to his native home, Portsmouth, in 1902 and entered the high school, from which he was graduated with honors in the class of 1896. During his high school course his spare time was employed in the office of Dr. C. P. Dennis, where he earned money enough to pay his expenses in school. Upon the completion of his high school course Dr. Ferguson matriculated for Howard university, dental department, from which he was graduated in 1890. Having had seven years' experience in practical dentistry, Dr. Ferguson was permitted to do operative work in the dental infirmary with the members of the senior class and also acted as assistant to the demonstrators in the dental laboratory. So proficient was he in prosthetic work that he was kept working in the laboratories of seven dentists. In this manner he earned more than enough P. DAVID A. PERGUSON, D. D. B. to delay all of his expenses. Thus with what he earned during the summer months doing hotel work at various summer resorts he was enabled to send money to his father during school vacation. His father having been unable to render him any financial assistance. Dr. Ferguson was married Nov. 20, 1897, to Miss Antoinette V. Carter of Washington. They are the proud possessors of two children, a boy and a girl, aged fifteen and ten respectively. In 1898 Dr. Ferguson began the practice of his profession in Richmond, Va., being the first colored applicant to appear before the Virginia state board of dental examiners. He also had the distinction of making one of the highest averages ever made before that board. For several years Dr. Ferguson has been a very active member of the National Medical association, attending every session. At the meeting held at Tuskegee in 1912 he was elected vice president of the National association. In 1913 he was unanimously elected president of the Tristate Dental association of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. This was the first meeting of this association, and it was held at Buckroe Beach, Va. Dr. Ferguson is well and favorably known for his liberality. He is unselfish and takes great interest and pride in assisting and advising the younger members of the profession. While he devotes strict attention to his very large practice, he ever holds in mind the old adage that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Dr. Ferguson, accompanied by Mrs. Ferguson, will be at the next session of the National Medical association to be held in Raleigh, N. C., beginning Tuesday, Aug. 25. The Alabama Dixie Line Railroad. The progress of the colored people of Alabama is attracting a deal of attention since the news of the Dixie Line railroad was given to the public. This railroad runs from Kowalaga, a thrifty town in the state, to Alexander City in the eastern part of the state, and is the first to be built and operated by our race in America. The Dixie Line connects with the Central Georgia railroad at Alexander City, Ala. Knights of Pythias Start New Lodge. The Knights of Pythias of Georgia are steadily increasing in numbers, influence and usefulness as a secret order. Grand Chancellor Bolen recently set apart a new lodge in Arcadia, Ga. with twenty-one members. Endowment Secretary F. M. Cohen and other members of the order from Savannah assisted the grand chancellor in setting up the new lodge, which bears the name Dorchester. Fined For Violation of Its Contract. The latest report on discrimination by a railroad against its passengers on account of color comes from Hopkinsville, Ky., where it is said a fine of $500 was charged up to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company for not providing equal accommodations for white and colored passengers, as stipulated in its contract.
