A majority of the Supreme Court, Nov. 30, joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma 'Jim Crow,' law proviso permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining, and chair car accommodations only to the white race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decree because of imprefections in the petition on which the case reached the courts. The case was one in which five Afro-Americans, claiming that the entire law was unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma Federal courts dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional. The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the Afro-Americans had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodation under the law, or that the railroads had notified them that they would be refused certain accommodations. The majority of the court, through Justice Hughes, stated, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the proviso as to sleeping, dining, and chair cars was constitutional. A minority, consisting of Chief Justice White and Justices Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds, concurred merely in the order of affirmance, but expressed no views on the constitutional question. In the opinion of the majority, Justice Hughes stated previous decisions that laws for separate coaches for the two races was constitutional were not to be questioned. He then set forth the reasons for the opinion that the lower court was wrong in holding the proviso constitutional. The reasoning is "that there may not be enough persons of African descent seeking these accommodations to warrant the outlay in providing them." This argument with respect to the value of the traffic seems to be without merit. It makes the constitutional right depend upon the number of persons who may be discriminated against, whereas the essence of the constitutional right is that it is a personal one. The Justice then pointed out that defects in the petition presented an insuperable obstacle to the granting of the injunction. The court gave no intimation as to whether in a proper case it would merely hold the "luxury" car section unconstitutional, or whether it would decide that this section being unconstitutional, the entire law must fall. The five railroads in the case asked the court, when the case decided was argued to hold the entire law unconstitutional if the "luxury" proviso was annulled. Washington (D. C.) Sun. When will our people, es- The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 pecially our lawyers learn the necessity of going into the U. S. Supreme court, in such cases, with legal representatives of U. S. Supreme court caliber? Case after case of vital importance to the race because they affect our citizen rights, have been lost in that court as a direct result of the failure to do this very thing. It is high time to stop permitting our personl, professional or race pride to result in the loss of such very important cases. When in this city, this week, Dr. Du Bois of the N. A. A. C. P., told the writer that Boston's great lawyer, Mr. Moorfield Story, called Attorney William Harrison's attention to the weakness in his petition on which the U. S. Supreme court based its refusal to grant the injunction asked and thus pass favorably upon the unconstitutionality of the Oklahoma "Jim-Crow" car law. But a small "crumb of comfort and satisfaction" can be extracted from this case.—Cleveland Gazette. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the Nation's Charming Singer and Musical Educator.

Hilliard, who will address the People's Sunday Alliance, Emancipation Day, June 1st at the People's Presbyterian church. Let everyone come out and hear what we may expect of our newly elected Congressman. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 2, 1915 Balancing The Ledger. Watchman What of the Night. "Fifty years is not a long span of time measured by the history of the world, but all the more for that reason does the phenomenal success of the Negro in the United States give us the right to form another and this time a wholly favorable expectency." "Since the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1861, the Negro has proved to the world what he can do by doing. Whereas 70 per cent of your race were illiterate, now 70 per cent are literate, far surpassing the countries of Russia, Portugal and Southeastern Europe. You have accumulated property to a total of $700,000,000, $5,000,000 of it being in rural property. Nearly a fourth of the Negro farmers of the South own their farms. During this last census period, the percentage of farm ownership increased 17 per cent for Negroes against 12 per cent for Whites. The Negro has accomplished much, and much of his work has been steadily uphill. The largest and most important part of the Negro's tasks are ahead of him. The mass of our race must be fitted for the practical pursuits which are before them. This year more so than last, more education into the sanitary and hygienic living should be given our people, so that prevalent diseases which are sapping our strength might be checked. This year we must instill into our race more respect for contractual and moral obligations, now woefully lacking. We must persuade our people the exact and intrinsic worth of humble beginnings, in which too many of our people are now negligent. We must be more active and alert in discouraging and scourging vice and dissipation from our ranks this year. This year has demonstrated that the young blood of the Negro race is fastly coming forward and asserting its manhood. He is refusing to bow, scrape, apologize and beg his way through life, but has begun a determined, systematic course of firmly and impressively demanding exact justice and consideration and contending for his own until he receives his just due. Color and race segregation have awakened his race consciousness, for he has learned of the uujst operation and the arrogancy exhibited in the baneful ultimate effects upon the humil ated class or race. Color and race prejudice is each an iniquity in itself. It has shown itself to be destitute of all reason and human consideration and in its operation this year among Negro men, women and even little children. It has actually refused to countence fair play, human tenderness, and filial love as an appeal from its unreasoning and vicious tendencies. Let us speak with the june Crisis of 1912, when it says for a New Year's resolution: "I am Resolved." in this New Year to play the man to stand straight, look the world squarely in the eye, and walk to my work with no shuffle or slink. "I am, Resolved" to be satisfied with no treatment which ignores my manhood and my right be counted as one among men. "I am Resolved" to be quiet and law-abiding, but to refuse to cringe in body or in soul, to resent deliberate insult and to assert my just rights in the face of wanton aggression. "I am Resolved" to defend and assert the absolute equality of the Negro race with any and all other human races and its divine right to equal and just treatment. "I am Resolved" to be ready at all times and in all places to bear witness with per, voice, money and deed against the horrible crime of lynching, the shame of the "Jim Crow" legislation, the injustice of all color discrimination., the wrong of disfranchisement for race or sex the iniquity of war under any circumstances and the deep damnation of present methods, of distributing the world's work and wealth. "I am Resolved" to defend the poor and the weak of every race and hue, and to especially guard my wife, my mother, my daughter and all my darker sisters from the insults and aggressions of white men and black, with the last strength of my body and the last suffering of my soul. For all these things, "I am Resolved" unflinchingly to stand, and if this resolve cost pain, poverty, slander and even life itself, I will remember the words of the Prophet when he sang: "Though Love repine and Reason chafe, there came a Voice, without reply, it is man's Perdition to be safe when for the Truth he ought to die!" Strong Man Saves Woman as Auto Stalls on Track. Brnnswick, Ga., Dec. 27 William Houston, a colored man, saved the lives of four Brunswick women when, seeing the peril of the 'mobile party he rushed up to the machine and shoved it across the railroad track just as a fast moving freight train went past. In crossing the railroad track the machine was slowed down, and just as it mounted the rails the engine went dead. The freight train was only a hundred yards distant. Honston, who was standing by, rushed to the car, gave it one hard push and it crossed the track by only a few feet as the train went by. Du Bois Speaks in Behalf of Woman Suffrage. The S. R. O. sign hung out yesterday afternoon at the Tremont Theatre where the suffragists held a big mass meeting, with Dr. W. E. B. DR. W. E. B. Du Bois. Who pleased a large audience at a Boston theatre. Du Bois, director of publicity and research of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, as the principal speaker. Miss Maud Wood Park introduced Dr. Du Bois as "a leader of a race that has tasted—and still tastes—the injustice of race discrimination." Dr. Du Bois said in part: 'When opposers of suffrage say that women suffrage brings in an ignorant vote the answer properly is: 'Then why shut out any intelligent woman?' In a question of property, it is fairly answered that many women hold property. If a question of fitness that women today perform much work of far greater roughness and do men's work. If a question of color, that white women should not be deprived of the vote. "Here in New England, they used to—and I fear they do now, sometimes—tell the workingman what he ought to do—how he ought not get drunk on Saturday night, and how he ought to save and become a millionaire. But we know better today. After the shameful things that organized industry has been doing to the laboring man, we have come to the realization that we can't tell the workingman what to do. Two men have got to sit down—the employer and the employee—and talk things over. "Europe today is not fighting one race with another There are greater race animosities in each country itself than between for two. They are fighting any the spoils of the Colored race for the ivory, the diamonds, the grains, the gold, the jewels and the trade of the domains of the Colored peoples. "Many say that when this war is over, there won't be an other. When five dogs fight the Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. for a bone, and they are all through, the bone is still there. They'e going to fight for it until somebody gets it. The only way to keep them from fighting for the bone is to put teeth on it. "This bone—the spoils of the Colored race—is still there, and until some means is devised to eliminate the 'dogs after a bone' situation, the wars will continue." Dr. Du Bois spoke of the natural sympathy which drew women and the Colored people—still disenfranchised—together in a fight for the rights of Americans, without respect to sex or color or creed. A large sum of money was collected by the Colored girl ushers.—Boston Post. True Love Knows no Race Line, Southerner Remembers Common Law Wife. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 25—CoI. A. H. Jennings, of Pearl, Shelby County, wills his entire estate, estimated at $80,000, to Mr. Bettie Hicks and her seven children. He had no white men for his associates. He was well known, but never made any attempt to seek the association of those of his own race. Nearly fifty years ago he came here from Tippah County, Miss., bringing his brothers and sisters. His brothers and sisters married and moved away. He remained with his mother. Fortune prospered them. The farm was extended and a nice home built. Mrs. Jennings died. After his mother died he left his home and went to a small cabin in a far corner of the farm. Mrs. Bettie Hicks was there. He acknowledged in his will that he was the father of her children. For more than 20 years he lived in that cabin. Jennings was never on good terms with the remainder of his family, but about two years ago, it is said, when his brother, D.C. Jennings, was in trouble with the courts in what Judge J. P. Young described as one of the worst cases that had ever been tried before him, he came forward with a check for $10,-ooo scribbled on a piece of old bag, to help his brother save his land from being sold to satisfy a court judgement.

Beginning with the Christmas Tree Thursday evening right straight through the Watch night service, the exercises were skillfully rendered and greatly enjoyed by the big audiences which flocked out to witness them. Perhaps the most talked-about service was the early Xmas morning program when the choir thrilled its audience through and through with the latest Christmas music. So sweetly were strains of music sent forth through the stillness of morning that persons passing the streets were captivated and drawn contrary to their plan, into the auditorium. From all sides comes a word of praise for our choir. Our service Sunday was also a splendid one, the offering ran up to $60.00. Our pastor desires to thank most heartily, the members of his congregation for remembering him and Mrs. Pope so generously during the Xmas season. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH.

E. church, in this city, so designated because it is the oldest church of that denomination in the connection, began in its new house of worship on West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street Sunday. Dec. 20, and will continue until Sunday, Jan. 3. Mother Zion church was founded in 1796. The first church was built on the corner of Church and Leonard streets in 1800 and rebuilt in 1820. The first annual conference was organized in 1821. In 1830 the church was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in 1840. The Sabbath school was organized in 1845. In 1850 the membership had so completely outgrown its quarters that the congregation moved its home to the corner of Bleecker and Tenth streets. Here it prospered until the business interests in the downtown section made another change necessary. As rents downtown were so exorbitant it soon became evident that the congregation must move uptown, which it did in 1904, at which time it built a magnificent structure at a cost of $90,000. When our people began to settle so thickly in the section known as Harlem the church soon discovered that if it would hold what it had gained, if it would keep in touch with its large membership, another change in its location would be necessary; hence the congregation set out to find a suitable site nearer the majority of its membership. To the present pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, D. D., is due the credit for the completion of what at first seemed a complicated undertaking—moving to Harlem. The new church is a splendid stone structure with all modern improvements and is beautifully situated. FARMERS' ANNUAL MEETING. Features of Conference to Be Held at Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 20. Tuskegee, Ala.—The annual Tuskegee Negro conference will be held at Tuskegee institute, in this town, beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 20. In addition to the meeting in the institute chapel an agricultural parade, to start from Millbank Agricultural building at 10 o'clock, will feature possibilities of agriculture as carried on by the Tuskegee institute, and the farm demonstration work of the national government. A series of contrasts will indicate the agriculture of the past with the present. A beginning in this direction was made last year, but the parade for 1915 promises to be more thoroughly instructive and will include many features not included in last year's parade. The conference program has been arranged with special reference to assisting the Negro farmers to get in a position so that they can best co-operate with the agencies which are working to improve farming and financial conditions in the south. The morning session of the conference will be held at 11 o'clock, in the chapel, and the subject decided upon for discussion is "How I Am Meeting the Present Hard Times." SAVE JONES' LIFE.

THE NEW WAV WHILE YOU WAIT SEWED SOLES 50£ £65£ 1855CHAMPA PHONE MAIN 3737 VIEWS ON RACE PROBLEM. George W. Wickerham Replies to Remarks of John S. Williams. The progress of the Negro race in America since the civil war, which resulted in its freedom, has been marvelous. It has increased in numbers, advanced in education, made commendable headway in business, finance and the Christian religion as exemplified in the life and teachings of Christ. It has endured great hardships, exercised extreme patience with those who execute the laws under which it lives as American citizens, proved its worthy of a place in the body politic to live, serve the state and federal government in humble and exalted positions and exerted a mighty power for good in the midst of its friends and has. Scripturally speaking, heaped coals of fire upon the heads of its enemies at all times, says N. Barnett Dodson. Few great events transpire or public functions of state or national significance held in which the Negro's influence and power as a factor in the nation's struggles, aspirations or achievements are not felt. But—"whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Upon the great fundamental principles of American citizenship as vouchsafed by the federal constitution to all citizens of the United States, native born or naturalized, there still exists a difference of opinion among some of our fellow citizens in the various sections of our common country as was made plainly evident at the twenty-ninth annual dinner of the Southern Society of New York, held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, Wednesday night, Dec. 9. In the course of his address the comptroller of the United States currency, John S. Williams, is reported as having given utterance to the following: "All other issues have appeared to us light and negligible when white supremacy was threatened. Happily such fears are now no more to be regarded than as a frightful dream. Our constitutional conventions in the different states have so limited and safeguarded the right of suffrage in an effort to secure an enlightened electorate that negro rule has ceased to be a menace. "Long ago we determined that the Negro should never be our master; that we would work with him and help him and let him help and work with us, but that as a social and political equal the best interests of both races and of the country demanded stern, final and definite prohibition. The dignity, welfare and prosperity of the two races and of the entire country are and will be promoted by the policy of strict segregation." To the above remarks of Mr. Williams former United States Attorney General George W. Wickersham replied with great dignity. This is what he said: "I do not believe that this problem will ever be solved by the total disfranchement for all time of 10,000,000 of our citizens. No people can thrive and advance if, side by side and working with them, are 10,000,000 who are disfranchised from all voice in government. "God knows that this is a difficult problem, and God knows how it will be solved, but it cannot be solved by denying to any, be he black or yellow or red, the right of a voice in making the laws by which he shall be governed and in the choice of the men who shall govern him. Believe me, this problem is not solved by the method you offer." Success of the Rev. G. B. Howard. The recent financial rally at the Central Baptist church in Pittsburgh, of which the Rev. Dr. George B. Howard is the pastor, resulted in raising the sum of $1,748.17. The church is succeeding admirably under Dr. Howard's leadership, and great increases in its membership and finance are noted. The speakers for the closing exercises of the rally were Rev. Dr. J.

MORRIS IS OPTIMISTIC. President of National Baptist Convention Says Situation Is Satisfactory. By WILLIAM L. BANKLIN By WILLIAM J. FRANKLIN. Helena, Ark.—One of the busiest and most able officials of any religious body in this section of the country is the Rev. Dr. Elias C. Morris of this city. His duties as president of the National Baptist convention are large and exacting. Besides the great bulk of work which he has to look after personally, it takes three secretaries to do the clerical work in connection with the various branches of the convention. In a recent statement regarding the outcome of the recent session of the convention held in Philadelphia Dr. Morris says: "I was very much gratified at the outcome of the recent session of the national Baptist convention and believe when the sober afterthought of the leaders, even those who appeared to be in opposition to the will of the majority, has had time to fully assert itself that much of the criminations and recriminations now going the rounds will cease. "I think that the meeting was by far one of the greatest held and a complete vindication of the president from the charge that he had animus against the publishing board for alleged wrongs perpetrated against him. Even the secretary of the board clearly stated that the $2,600 about which so much had been written and spoken went to pay the printers and writers and was not paid as salary to the editor. "Personally I have no ill will against any man. Dr. Boyd and myself have not fully agreed as to the manner of conducting the co-operative missionary work, and the same might be said in bygone years of the foreign mission work, but the difference seems to be this, that Dr. Jordan, the corresponding secretary, is willing to be advised by his brethren and submit to the will of the convention. "There are matters connected with the affairs of our boards that I do not care to discuss at this time, especially such things that have been transacted since the meeting of the convention. I believe all will be adjusted in due time, and there will be nothing but peace and harmony in the ranks of the national Baptist convention. "One need not expect everything to move along smoothly in a convention representing 2,500,000, where every man has free speech and many of them are contending for the mastery. I am glad that it is as it is, and we are going to show to the world that the Negro Baptists of this country are united, although we may at times differ." FUNDS FOR SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NEEDED In Strong Appeal Miss Elizabeth Walton Explains the Situation. Miss Elizabeth Walton, the well known philanthropist and head of the Walton kindergarten in New York, has issued a most earnest appeal for contributions to the social service work among our people. Miss Walton says: "Nearly all the social service organizations for the colored people are almost paralyzed financially right at the beginning of the winter season. "We have been building up certain works for their education and for their relief for the past half century. Have we a right to take from these organizations our contributions and give them to war sufferers in Europe? Let me in no way be misunderstood. "Let no one think that I am not in the deepest sympathy with every effort to alleviate the distress in Europe, whether among the wounded or the noncombatants. I have recently returned from abroad, and I am so deeply horrified by the awful tragedy that there is no moment when it is not in my mind, and I am asking myself the question. What can, what ought I to do? Let us give all we can to suffering Europe. But let us give it, and do not let us take it from the colored people. "You who have given your contribution each year, but who have not come in contact with the individuals needing help or the worker giving his life to the work, cannot realize what the withdrawing of your contribution this year means." "Just for an example: In one organization that I know of it means, instead of employing sixteen workers, it can support but four—and that means cutting off educational work, uplift work among hundreds of boys and girls, employment work and relief work. "To cut off the last two this winter is absolutely cruel, when there will be hundreds out of employment. And what about these faithful workers who, after years of experience, have arrived at doing the finest kind of social service work? Where are they to find new positions this winter? Or, to cite another case, a home for colored women, it is thought, will have to close." In view of the foregoing statement of conditions, Miss Walton closes her appeal by saying that she hopes every contributor will give as much and more, if possible, to the work for colored people, for the need will be greater than ever this winter. W. P. Burrell Conducts Novel Campaign W. P. Burrell of East Orange, N. J., national secretary of the National Negro Insurance league, an affiliated body of the National Negro Business league, is conducting a national educational campaign for the purpose of securing sounder insurance protection for the race and a higher degree of efficiency among the colored insurance agents. M'RARY ELECTED HEAD OF MASONS Order In North Carolina Holds Lively Session. MANY NOTABLES PRESENT. Craftmen From All Sections of the State Attend Forty-fifth Annual Communication In Wilmington—Endowment Secretary Young Makes Glowing Report. By GEORGE F. KING. Wilmington, N. C.—That the worldwide reputation gained by the Afro-American Masons of North Carolina as being the leading jurisdiction of the order among our people is recognized was strongly evidenced at the forty-fifth annual communication of the F. and A. M. Aasons of this state recently held in this city. This representative body, composed of nearly 700 delegates, representing the many professions and businesses engaged in by our people and some of the leading educators of the south, was welcomed to the city by Mayor P. Q. Moore, who represents the new element of white people in the south. He paid a fine tribute to the craft and its able officers. Colonel James H. Young, the recognized leader of his race in North Carolina, who has gained a nation wide reputation as a financier, who has given the race among Masonic circles the strongest and best conducted endowment department and who is deputy grand master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of this state, responded to the mayor's splendid address. Dr. R. B. McRary, most worshipful grand master, presided, and harmony prevailed throughout the sessions. Since he has been the eminent head of the craft in this state he has never COL. J. H. YOUNG. DR. B. B. M'BARY. had to rap his gavel for order. He is regarded as one of the ablest M. W. G. M. in the country. His annual addresses are masterpieces of literature, and, as usual, when he delivered his annual message this year he was given a significant ovation. He in part said: "The order is not only maintaining its high morale, but is attracting to itself in considerable numbers the most desirable elements of our citizenship. While it may be and probably has been suggested that this phenomenal growth is attributable in no small measure to the fact that our supplementary method of distributing the grand charity offers an inducement which thoughtful providers for their dependents and beneficiaries find it hard to resist, it seems to me that this is rather complimentary than otherwise to the state of the order, viewed from the standpoint of our financial policy. In my opinion that aspect of our work does not adequately account for the frequent alarms upon our outer doors. "It is not, of course, a negligible quantity, but be assured that the formal declaration which each applicant is required to make, to the effect that he is not influenced by mercenary motives, that he is prompted to this solicitation by a favorable opinion conceived of the institution, a desire for knowledge and a sincere purpose of being serviceable to his fellow creatures, and, I may add, associated with the very flower of all the secular societies and the churches in this good state in the praiseworthy undertakings to which they are giving their best thought and energy, is the appropriate cause. "Thus history, experience and observation confirm us in the opinion that the state of the order is one for mutual congratulations. However, the goal has not been reached. The success that has crowned our efforts along all the various lines of our endeavor as a fraternity should inspire us all with more zeal and greater energy. Success even has its dangers. It has not infrequently produced intoxication, which converted success into failure. Reaching out in too many directions, hammering too many irons instead of striking those that are at a welding heat may endanger the strength of the whole fabric. "By this I mean the legitimate functions of Masonry do not necessarily include all phases of political and civic activity. It is, indeed, a fatuous philosophy which assumes the responsibility of attempting to exploit Free Masonry for the solution of every sociological and economic problem that confronts society and the race. While our moral support as individual Masons should be and I take will be always arrayed with the friends and promoters of every good cause, we must beware of making of every question of public utility or personal exaltation a fraternity issue. We cannot lead in all things. We must be content to let others lead in some, just as we aspire to lead." He paid an excellent tribute to Bishop Hood, the first grand master of this jurisdiction, declaring, "I ask no higher encomium upon the work which I have tried to do as the servant of this jurisdiction than this—He strove to emulate the example of the first grand master. Bishop James W. Hood." Colonel James H. Young, who is doing a great constructive work as the head of the endowment department, made his report, which was also a strong feature, arousing the whole grand lodge and eliciting for this remarkable character his usual ovation. He in part said: "During these twelve years we have paid in full 1,379 death claims, amounting to the enormous sum of $335,288. This great and useful department today is the pride of Masons, who know of its beneficent work, but it will not long remain so if you take any steps which will weaken and destroy it. As long as you have a surplus and can pay your claims promptly there is no danger of any calamity." He reported a surplus of $10,000, of which $7,500 is in North Carolina 4 per cent bonds. Continued, he said: "Last year we collected $56,826.38 and paid out $22,504, leaving a balance of $17,214.63, while this year we have collected $69,480.75 and paid out $63,724.50, leaving a balance of $20,970.88. It will be observed that there is an increase of about $12,000 in our collections this year over that of last year." Dr. C. S. Brown, R. W. G. secretary, an able pulpiteer, scholar, founder and principal of Waters Normal institute, Winston, N. C., and president of Lott Carey Baptist foreign missionary convention, made an excellent report, and he also received a large share of the liberal praise given to all the general officers. Hon. A. R. Middleton, R. W. G. treasurer, of Keenansville, known as "Honest Abe," made his report, which was also well received. M. W. G. M. R. B. McRay received 1.257 votes against 230 polled by Dr. J. B. Dudley, following which his election was made unanimous. The other officers re-elected are: R. W. G. S., Dr. C. S. Brown, Winston; R. W. G. T., A. R. Middleton, Keenansville; R. W. G. S., W., W. E. Purvis, Greensboro; R. W. G. J. W., W. S. Simmons, Bayboro. Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh will continue as grand endowment secretary, this being an appointive office. The grand lodge will meet next year at Winston Salem, in this state. NEW BUSINESS MOVEMENT. How the Steno School Is Helping Young Men and Women. New York. - The Steno Business school in this city is proving its worth to those for whom it is established. Its aim is to provide a thorough business education for the young men and women of our race and to acquaint them with the latest and most approved methods of the commercial world. The school was established about six months ago, since which time it has done a great work. A thorough course is given in shortband, typewriting, office methods and multigraphing. The Isaac Pitman system of shorthand is taught. The school has several students, and judging from the enthusiasm that is being manifested among them it will not be long before the faculty will have to be enlarged. The movement is a blessing to the young men and women of this city. The founders and instructors of the school are capable young men who have a wide experience and preparation for their life's work. The director of the school is O. M. Thompson, himself an efficient stenographer. He is an honor graduate of the Ontario Business college and for five years has been the capable secretary and bookkeeper for the manager of the Knickerbocker theater. This is one of the most responsible positions of its kind held by a young man of our race in New York. The assistant director is I. N. Braithwaite, another expert stenographer who is a certificated student of the Incorporated Phonographic Institute of London. For eight years Mr. Braithwaite has been one of the foremost stenographers of this section. For three years he was stenographer to Ernest Flagg, one of the most prominent white architects of this city. He has done much to inspire young men and women to enter the commercial field, and for some time he has conducted experimental tests for the colored stenographers of this city. These young men believe that they are fine possibilities for the young people of the race in the commercial field and the success they have attained in this direction attests the fact that thorough preparation along business lines is a fine investment. The institution marks a new advance for the educational uplift of the race and offers splendid field for the bright and ambitious young men and women who are striving to better their condition. Purpose of the Fraternal Congress. The fraternal congress is an organization composed of representatives from fourteen fraternal orders. A meeting of this congress was recently held in Houston, Tex., for the purpose of unifying and simplifying the rules and methods of assessment of the various societies under its jurisdiction.

M. C. A. at 2800 Glenarm Place, the bringing together and sticking together the public and charitable organizations of the city and the perfecting and cementing into a closer fraternal union of the ministers of this city, as well as the establishment of a physician's conference composed wholly of the colored doctors who can and will discuss their difficult cases round some dinner festive board—all of these things Denver could accomplish this year. Will she take advantage of her opportunity and do it? Who will start the formation of the National Association for the advancement of Colored people in Denver? Who will make it their year's business to do only organization work among the kindred organizations. Let the Slogan be "Get Closer Together," and organize the organizations and next December will find more complete and positive harmony, real progress and happiness than words can foretell. The Kansas City Sun had this to say in a recent issue; Negro women need a great many things worse than they need the ballot. They need to be inspired with a deeper sense of domesticity and a more sacred regard for maternity. These are the virtues that make for sound citizenship and guarantee real happiness. Let others spend their time upon fads and folbles. We are yet in our infancy and should first solve the elementary problems about us. We need better home life, better trained children, better refined tastes, and a higher appreciation of such virtues as punctuality, economy and sincerity. The same argument is always made when injustice and impartiality want to gain or delay an advantage. This procrastination "Manana" (tomorrow) is the tyrant's argument. It is not a question whether a woman needs this, that or the other things, but does that right lawfully belong to her. Is it right then that she have it? If so, why not grant it? It is not for the Kansas City Sun or any other paper to arbitrarily fix a woman's needs any more than it is for the South to limit the Negro (or women, if you please) to industrial education. The same argument against higher education for women and Negroes was made so the Sun has not emitted any new light on "the right of woman's suffrage" especially where the Negro women are breadwinners. Who should fix and regulate their hours of work; who should regulate their sanitary and working conditions better than themselves? The Western man knows it is unjust to keep women out of their chance to better their conditions through politics and therefore has given them the right to protect and preserve themselves. We venture to say that there are as many women pay taxes in Missouri on realty holdings as do men. The Negro man is the last person, who even by his pen, should encourage the denial of anything of betterment to anybody. The Star hopes the Sun will see its mistake. PASSING OF A LAND-MARK. WAS A PIONEER IN DENVER. The passing of Mr. Charles Hall on the 9th of this month, whose remains were laid to rest in Fairmont Cemetery, Tuesday last, took from our midst one of our most widely and best known citizens and deprived us of one whose family, for twenty-five years, has been one of the potent factors for good in the life of our people in Denver. He was born in Franklin county, Missouri. Early in the seventies his parents moved to White Cloud, Kan., where he grew up, being one of fifteen children. The permanent value of Christian home influence was manifested early in his life, leading to his conversion to the Christian faith, when he joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the above named city. It was here he met Miss Unity White, who in 1883 became Mrs. Union Hall with whom he lived happily until the time of his death. About twenty-five years ago, he moved to Denver and united with Shorter Chapel Methodist Church, of which he has since been a faithful member, having served as Steward and Class Leader for twelve years and as janitor for fourteen years. Not only was he interested in the church, but he took a hand in things temporal as well. He believed that the preparation needed to live well hereafter was to live well here.Hence, shortly after coming to Denver, he began to purchase property and at the $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid ation.

At the postoffice in the city of Denver. time of his passing he was a representative tax payer of whom the race is proud. Mr. Hall was the father of two sons, both of whom were very popular in Denver. Mr. Chas. R. Hall of Chicago, Ill., and Mr. Lloyd Hall of Salt Lake City, Utah. Mrs. Unity Hall, who survives her husband, is widely known for her relief work in the city. Having been for a number of years, President of the Deaconess Board of Shorter Chapel; she has done a telling service in reaching the unreached and rescuing the fallen among our people. Her health having failed, some months ago, she was advised by her physician to go East to regain it. It was while she was thus away visiting relatives in Cincinnati, O., that Mr. Hall took down with pneumonia and ere she had reached his bedside he entered the land of the blessed. His closing hours were so peaceful and beautiful that scarcely will those scene. The funeral service, held Sunday the 13th, was beautiful, impressive and largely attended. In the eulogy, Rev. Robert L. Pope, his pastor, portrayed most vividly his splendid life and labors and paid him a high tribute for his greatness of soul and richness of character, stressing the fact that while he kept his feet firmly planted upon the earth, at the same time he kept his soul in heaven. "He stood but with his starry pin- Stripped for the flight and ready to be gone." With the pastor were associated, who were witnesses ever forget the Revs. D. E. Over of Zion Baptist Church; Jas. Washington of Campbell Chapel and A. E. Reynolds of Bethlehem Baptist Church. The choir was out in full and the music was consoling, reassuring and sweet. Mrs. Olive Elliott, a life-long friend of the family, also sang very tenderly. The officers and a number of the auxiliaries of the church made floral offerings and read suitable resolutions. Mr. Geo. C. King read for the Official Board; Mr. J. C. Porter, Usher's Club; Mrs. Frances A. Early, Women's Mte Missionary Society; Mrs. Mary E. Wade, Class No. 6; and Mrs. Lillie Lewis, Deaconess Board. Messrs. F. T. Bruce, Chas. A. Burton, H. F. Smith, Harry Jones, E. C. Snadon and Anthony Lowe served as pall bearers. Owing to the inability of his sons to reach the city earlier, the remains were deposited in a vault until Tuesday when interment was made at Fairmont Cemetery; the Douglass Undertakers being in charge. Thus ended the earthly career of one of Denver's most beautiful and useful characters. "WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND NOT /. WOMAN." This book, which is just from the press, is the third book by Mr. Tapp, inw hich he interprets the Sex-Law of the Bible. His first book on the subject, "The Truth About the Bible" came from the press about two years ago. About a year after that, his second book, "Sexology Of The Bible" followed. In these books, Mr. Tapp contends that all sin of the Flesh is in the Sex-Senses and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. He is a lawyer and has done a great work for the inspiration of the Bible and the Divinity of the Christ. He has answered all the school of the Ingersol's, etc. He shows that the fall of man was a matter of the Flesh and the Sex and that the Christ had to be conceived without a natural father in order to be the perfect man and Redeemer of the world. His idea is, The Law of Sex is the Key of the Bible. The idea is arresting the attention of the great thinkers of the world. The books may be secured by addressing Sidney C. Tapp, Kansas City, Mo. They should be in every home and library of the world. The Denver Star is indebted to Mr. Monroe N. Work of Tuskogec, Ala., for the Negro Year Book for 1914-1915.

KEEP IT HANDY FOR RHEUMA-TISM. No use to squirm and wince and try to wear out your rheumatism. It will wear you out instead. Apply some Sloan's Liniment. Need not rub it in—just let it penetrate all through the affected parts, relieve the soreness and draw the pain. You get ease at once and feel so much better you want to go right out and tell other sufferers about Sloan's. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Buy a bottle today. Everybody who heard Shorter's 5 o'clock Xmas Song Service was profuse in their praises.

Brown & Hughes, Coal Men UNIVERSITY OF WEST TENNESSEE Thrifty School In Memphis Exerts Wide Influence. Students From Fourteen States and Three Foreign Countries Are Enrolled at Institution Founded in 1900 by Dr. M. V. Lynk, Whose Scholarly Attainments Are Well Known. Memphis, Tenn.—Among the educational institutions of the country that are rendering valuable service in the development of the Negro race is the University of West Tennessee, located in this city, which has made a splendid record in the educational work of the race. This institution was founded by Dr. M. V. Lynk in 1900. The various departments include medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, nurse training and engineering. Students in these departments are doing excellent work. Each year finds the school's elevating influences embracing a larger sphere of usefulness and a larger number of ambitions young men and women. This year's student body numbers persons from fourteen different states in the Union and some from Jamaica, Central America and Africa. There are five commodious buildings on the campus. The Negro Baptist hospital, with capacity for a hundred [Name] PRESIDENT M. V. LYNK patients, is situated two blocks north and furnishes clinics for the medical department. The school has a well equipped faculty of twenty-five instructors. Dr. M. V. Lynk, the founder and president of the institution, is a man of rare scholarly attainments and executive ability. He is the author of "The Afro-American School Speaker and Gems of Literature" and "Black Troopers, or Daring Deeds of the Negro Soldiers In the Spanish-American War." Both of these books are in great demand and are widely read, having run through several editions. In 1892 Dr. Lynk began the publication of the Medical and Surgical Observer. This was perhaps the first medical journal published by a member of the race in this section of the country. He is one of the founders of the National Medical association, which was organized at Atlanta during the cotton states and international exposition in 1896. The University of West Tennessee is deservingly fortunate in having at its head such an able man as Dr. Lynk. He is recognized by both educators and physicians as one of the best qualified men in these professions among us. Although young in the management of a school which takes such high rank in the different grades of higher education, Dr. Lynk has thoroughly demonstrated his capacity for mastering the wide scope of interests covered by the institution. Over 200 graduates of this school are scattered in various parts of the state and country and are doing fine work as leaders among our people in business and the professions. Mme. V. E. Scott Aids Southern Church. Under the leadership of Mme. V. E. Scott quite a snug sum was raised in December through the medium of a benefit concert given in New York for the building fund of the Tabernacle Institutional Baptist church at Augusta, Ga., of which the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker is pastor. Dr. Walker enjoys an international reputation as a preacher and leader of our people. His friends in New York were glad of the opportunity to contribute to a fund toward the completion of the new church clifice. USEFUL LIFE OF DR. E. A. WILSON LEADER AMONG BAPTISTS. Scholarly Attainments of the Secretary of Large Western Religious Body and His Success as Pastor, Author and Organizer—Twice Honored With Degree by Kansas City University. Muskogee, Okla.-The Rev. Elisha Arlington Wilson, D. D., orator, journalist, organizer of men and modern evangelist, a typical example of the doctrine that "the character impressed on a man at home follows him abroad." was born in Garland City, Ark., Oct. 22, 1876, of Virginia parents and was early taught the Scriptures. Dr. Wilson's early life was spent in Texasana, Tex., and in Arkansas. He was educated at Bishop college, Marshall, Tex.; Christian university, Canton Mo., and Kansas City university, Kansas City, Kan. He was the second member of his race to receive a college degree from the latter institution and the first of his race to receive the degree of bachelor of philosophy from the same college. The degree of master of ancient literature was conferred upon him by Christian university and that of doctor M. R. S. REV. DR. E. A. WILSON. of divinity from Eckstein-Norton university, Cane Springs, Ky. Dr. Wilson was united in marriage to Miss Leurlean Snadon, a native of Kentucky, in July, 1899. He entered the ministry early and for some time traveled as the "boy preacher." While thus traveling many persons were added to the various churches. He accepted a call from the Metropolitan Baptist church, Kansas City, Kan., in December, 1897, where he remained for sixteen years, when he accepted a call to the First Baptist church, Muskogee, Okla. For a number of years he served as president of the Kansas Baptist convention and is at present the recording secretary of the western convention and one of the assistant secretaries of the national Baptist convention. Dr. Wilson is active in the Masonic fraternity and is a thirty-third degree Mason and a worker in the United Brothers of Friendship, one of the strongest fraternal societies in this country. He has also made some contributions to the literature of the race, being the author of "The Burning Message For the Young Men." "The Heavenly Vision." "Armageddon." "The King's Business" and "Higher Ground." He has also been active and successful along business lines and owns some valuable real estate. The rapid rise of Dr. Wilson has been phenomenal. For nine years he was the leader of the 25,000 Baptists in Kansas and made a good record as such. While pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church in Kansas City the Sunday Forum, the annual Chautauqua and the Religious Congress were organized. With the young people he is a favorite and is greatly respected in the community. As a speaker he is persuasive, logical and fervid, and as a word painter few men can excel him. A still brighter future awaits this eminent and much loved divine, whose eloquence weaves in one golden web of divine oratory similes and symbols in setting forth the divine glory of Christ's transcendent excellence and mission. At the meeting of the Oklahoma Baptist state convention held in McAlester, Okla., Dr. Wilson was elected to the position of corresponding secretary, and the Ministerial Voice, of which he is editor, was selected as the official organ of the convention.

SOFT DRINKS MESSAGE FOR THE NEW YEAR Well Known and Consistent Advocate of Full Constitutional Rights For Colored American Citizens Would Have Them Emulate Example of Patrick Henry—A New Modern Diogenes. By RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O.—On down the corridor of time has come that bold, defiant, fearless declaration of Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me death!" and it has aroused from inaction to militancy thousands of men who before had been reconciled to the futility of fighting the world; who now, thrilled by this defiant declaration, believe and say one had best be dead than live shorn of constitutional rights and privileges. Back from a period of 2,000 years, freighted with the fragrance of peace, something divine-like whispers to us, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." And as these divinely inspired words seize, hold and envelop us we hesitate between aggressive force and patient submission, wondering all the while if the promise will be fulfilled, doubting if the red corpuscles of courageousness should be permitted to crystallize into the shrinking spirit of a slave. "We have met the enemy and they are ours!" sent over the blue waters of Lake Erie in 1812, has ever inspired brave men to battle in blood and to death midst the boom of cannon and the shriek of shells for the honor that comes to those who dare to fight against flight for the right. We fear neither the legions of earth nor the minions of hell when our rights are assailed and our liberties curtailed. Timorously, from out between the covers of that Book of Books, shrinking behind "the word of God," there comes to us, "If any one smites you on the right cheek turn him also the left," commanding us to suffer, but not strike back. But what monumental courage, what a wonderful spirit of forbearance it requires to give heed to such a command even from him, when inspiring martial music, the buzzas and the crowns and the honors await those who dare to fight with their blood and their lives injustice that strips them of citizens' rights and privileges! "The survival of the fittest" arouses within the manly man all that fighting spirit needed to sail his bark over the tempest tossed sea to the quiet harbor yonder where sets the glorious sun, or to make one's way through an unyielding (in their prejudices) throng of arbitrary, bitter foes who insist, in spite of every achievement recorded, that we are but a little higher than the patient, burden bearing ox—no better than a dog. When one has girded up his loins, grasped the battling ax firmly and with grim determination prepared to hurt himself against the hated foe, determined on "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," determined to conquer or perish, how the hard hands clutching the battle ax relax and the hot blood cools and the spirit of Christ-like humility charges anger from its throne when from out the long gone past, serenely down through the ages, comes "Do unto others as you would that men should do unto you." Torn by dissensions, distracted by the babble of voices, the militant and the submissive; urged on by the craving for the honors and glory that are the reward of the returned blood stained, conquering hero and dissuaded by the siren song of peace in a faroff future, we pause to ask. Which road must we take to reap the largest mead of praise and the most lasting and comforting peace? Which? Who can surely point the way? AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY. Holds Annual Meeting In Washington. Noted Men Among Speakers.

Edge Hill (Pa.) Congregation Thrives Under Rev. Brandon's Leadership. Edge Hill, Pa.-The growth of the Antioch Baptist church in this town, a suburb of Philadelphia, is attracting the attention of the Baptists of the state. Its membership is small, but very active and ambitious in its efforts to sustain in this part of the community a place of worship to meet the growing demands of the population of our people, which is constantly increasing. The members have contributed liberally of their means for the maintenance of the church and are now planning to raise funds for a new church edifice. The Rev. J. B. Brandon, pastor of this church, is one of the most industrious men in the ministry to be found anywhere in the state. He was born in Halifax county, Va. in 1870. His early education was obtained in the public schools of his native county—namely, Oak Grove, Mountain View and South Boston. After advancing far enough to receive a teacher's certificate the Rev. Mr. Brandon taught for a time a private school in Norfolk, Va. In 1896 he became a resident of Philadelphia and worked at his trade ```markdown ``` REV. J. B. BRANDON. as an upholsterer and cabinet maker. Feeling called to the ministry and being licensed to preach, he succeeded in building a small church at Sharon Hill, Pa., at the same time improving his mind by private study under Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia. In order to devote more time to study he resigned from his church and entered a school in Germantown. The following summer he attended the Downingtown school at Downingtown, Pa., working on the school farm by day and studying evenings in order to secure his schooling in the winter. The following winter he secured the position of mail carrier for the school, which greatly helped him, as he had a wife and child to support. He served the Tabernacle Baptist church of Ocean City, N. J., for two years, during which time a beautiful church edifice was purchased for the congregation. He was ordained by the Mount Carmel Baptist church of Philadelphia, studying while pastoring his church in the seminary department of Lincoln university, from which he graduated in 1910, having made an average of 80 and 90 in Hebrew. He afterward served the Seybert institute at Meadowbrook, Pa., as an instructor and two years ago accepted the call to the Antioch Baptist church in this town. When the Rev. Mr. Brandon was called to his present field the church had but seven members. It had no property and was in debt for rent. Now it has sixty members, owns a valuable piece of property and is preparing to build a church edifice costing between $3,000 and $5,000. The Rev. Mr. Brandon recently gained fame by protecting one of the women members of his church from the insults of a white man of a depraved character. DODSON CHOSEN PRESIDENT. Society of Sons of Virginia Elects Editor at Annual Meeting. Brooklyn.-The Society of the Sons of Virginia, a large and influential mutual benefit organization in Brooklyn, held its annual meeting the third week in December and cleared up all business for 1914. The society is composed of native born Virginians of the Sons of Virginia parentage. It was organized Nov. 22, 1897, and has had a most successful career. Besides meeting its membership obligations it has contributed from time to time liberally to charitable institutions or civic organizations conducted for the benefit of the race. After paying off all obligations for the year, the treasurer's report shows a balance of considerably over $4,500 on hand and in bank. The annual election of officers for 1015 resulted as follows: President, N. Barnett Dodson; vice president, Eleaza Jackson; financial secretary, Peter H. Fisher; recording secretary, A. R. Nash; corresponding secretary, J. F. Flippin, treasurer, G. H. Carter; chapman, R. L. Powell, and sergeant-at-arms, J. S. Watkins. Members of the board of directors elected for three years were P. B. Swan, C. H. Turner and Charles Twyne. The annual installation of the newly elected officers will be held on Thursday evening, Jan. 7. The Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole, pastor of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, has been invited to deliver the installation address on this occasion. MILESTONES IN OUR HISTORY Progress Made by the Race In Fifty Years. SOME HISTORICAL FACTS. How the Colored People Regard Day on Which Lincoln Issued Emancipation Proclamation — Importance of the Coming Exposition to Be Held In Richmond, Va., In July. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Since Jan. 1, 1863, the day on which Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation which had for its object the abolition of slavery in the United States, the colored people have held celebrations on the first day of each succeeding year in honor of the event. It was not, however, until after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox Court House, Va., on April 9, 1865, that the act of Jan. 1, 1863, became truly effective and a general freeing of the slaves throughout the country took place. The first slaves were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, said to be twenty in number. At the close of the civil war this number had increased to 4,000,000, and fifty years later, or reckoning from Jan. 1, 1863, to the present time, the colored race in America is variously estimated at from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000. It is therefore of historical interest to note that between Jamestown, where the first slaves were landed, and Appomattox Court House, where Lee surrendered, a great exposition is to be held this year near Richmond to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the colored people and to show what progress the race has made along different lines since 1865. The exposition will be held under the auspices of the Negro Historical Association of Richmond, of which the Hon. Glies B. Jackson is the president and who is also the recognized head of the commission appointed by the governor of Virginia to arrange for and carry out the celebration. Mr. Jackson is a man of wide experience and is known throughout the country as a man of ability and great capacity to handle successfully such large undertakings as the coming exposition. The progress of the race has been quite phenomenal considering the circumstances under which this progress has been made. A glance at the success of the race in agricultural pursuits which follows here will give the reader a very clear idea of what the Negro has accomplished as a farmer and the circumstances under which he has labored to bring about such marvelous results. From 1865 to 1872 there was a very large emigration of Negro workers from the country into towns. The movement did not cease when normal conditions were re-established in the south, though it is now in the nature of a natural current toward the towns, about equal in degree to the parallel movement on the part of the white population and due to analogous causes. But while the number of Negro agricultural laborers has been diminishing relatively by comparison both with the number of Negroes employed in other occupations the opposite is true of the other classes of Negroes engaged in agriculture. Relatively the share croppers, tenants and proprietors are increasing. This is a reassuring circumstance, as it shows that the tendency is for the Negro to improve his position. He rises slowly and gradually from the lowest form of share tenancy, which is really only a method of hiring labor, the laborer being kept on the land by retaining until the crop is harvested that part of his salary which is paid in kind, up to the more developed forms of share tenancy and finally to tenancy with complete responsibility. Whereas in 1861 the few free Negroes living in the United States owned but an insignificant amount of the total farm land, the census of 1900 gives the value of the property owned by Negro cultivators as about $230,000,000, and the following census in 1910 places the value of the agricultural property (land and buildings) belonging to colored farmers in the southern states alone at $272,900,000 as against $106,600,000 in 1900. This result must be considered remarkable when it is remembered that fifty years ago the Negroes possessed nothing, neither inherited land nor the money to acquire land for themselves. To reach the point at which they are today the Negro farmers have had to exhibit powers of working and of saving which might in some cases with justice be called heroic. The various agricultural associations which exist, uniting as they do the scattered efforts of the worthiest representatives of the race, have contributed much to the progress of the Negro in agriculture. Equally admirable has been the work of the federal government and of the separate states, of universities, of religious institutions and of individual patrols and philanthropists. With the help of all these forces the Negro farmer is making rapid progress not only economically, but intellectually and socially as well. He is becoming a better farmer and a more valuable citizen.

SHARON BAPTIST CHURCH. Baltimore Congregation Holds Series of Exercises in New Edifice. Baltimore.—Six weeks' exercises incident to the removal of Sharon Baptist church into its new home at Stricker and Presstman streets are in progress and will end with the festivities incident to Christmas. The new house of worship, which fronts on Stricker street, contains two auditoriums and has a large Sunday school room in the rear of the Presstman street side. A handsome three story parsonage adjoins the church on Stricker street. Sharon church is the outgrowth of a Sunday school started on a vacant lot by the late Rev. W. C. Lawson. Twenty-nine years ago the present pastor of the church, the Rev. W. M. Alexander, D. D., organized the congregation with nine members. The membership grew so rapidly that the church secured the property at Laurens and Calhoun streets in order to accommodate the members. It afterward moved into the SALMER SHARON BAPTIST CHURCH. building vacated at Carey and Presstman streets. The congregation now numbers 1,500. Those active with Dr. Alexander in securing the present home of the church were F. A. Gaines and George Gallery, deacons; David Penn, C. H. Jones, W. T. Robinson and Vincent E. Toney, trustees. The pastor is a native of Virginia, but has resided here for many years. He was educated at the old Wayland seminary in Washington, graduating in 1882. He served for several years as a state missionary. He has long been active in civic matters and as president of the Maryland Suffrage league led three successful fights against disfranchise in Maryland. He has been corresponding secretary of the Lott Carey foreign mission convention since its inception. Shaw university honored him with the degree of doctor of divinity a few years ago. He is the editor of the Maryland Voice, a local publication. Achievements of Dr. Matilda A. Evans Dr. Matilda A. Evans of Columbia, S. C., who probably has the largest practice of any colored physician in the state, has recently erected a hospital in that city. The opening of the hospital celebrated her seventeenth anniversary as a practicing physician. The Curry Institute's New Building.
