MANLY MEN IN THE 25TH INFANTRY PROTEST AGAINST RACE INSULTS Interesting News Concerning the Race. Schofield Barrack, Honolulu, H. T. -The soldiers of the 25th Infantry, United States Army, stationed at this point, will not stand for the presentation of any play or picture film in the barrack's amusement hall which reflects upon the Negro race. This was shown on the night of June 8 when a picture play called "James Kirby" was put upon the screen. Advertised as one of the best pictures ever on the island, the play drew a large audience of officers and enlisted men. But with the flashing of the first scene trouble began. The film was staged in the south and the theme harked back to slavery days. It showed the young Negro girls being handled by the slave owners and traders, and when the soldiers saw that the house was thrown in an uproar. From every section came the cry, "Cut it out!" There are several officers in the regiment who do not share in the southerner's prejudice against the Negro, and they showed their objections to the photo play by leaving the hall as soon as the character of the picture was discovered. Their leaving was taken as a cue and half of the audience filed out also. As soon as the men reached the outside the rocks began to fly. The roof of the hall was bombarded to such an extent that the officers had to order the stopping of the play. This is the third incident of the kind in the past six months. Recently a local show came out to the barracks from Honolulu and put on a play called "Down in Dixie." Only the most strenuous efforts on the part of the officers prevented a riot and the mobbing of the players. The actors were glad to get back to Honolulu. The men have let it be known to the officers on a number of occasions that while amusements are desired, nothing will be tolerated that reflects in the slighest degree on the Negro race. Some of the officers make the claim that the trouble is caused by some of the recruits, but this is not borne out by the facts Every member of the 25th infantry resents such pictures and plays.—Age. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 15. Within the last 24 hours, nine Afro-Americans were hanged, seven legally and two lynched in Southern states, and today a lynching party is pursuing a tenth member of the race near Liberty, Mo. There were four legal hangings in Alabama, Robert Watkins and John Salter were executed for the murder of Mrs. Mary Lassiter at Evergreen. A militia guard prevented a mob from burning the dead bodies. The other executions in Alabama were white men. At Fresno, Miss., Peter Bolen and Jim Seales, who killed another man, while 5,000 persons sang, "There is a Land of Pure Delight." Bunyan Walters was executed at Fayetteville, Miss. A dispatch from Shawnee, Okla., relating the story of the lynching of Ed. Berry stated that the affair was "one of the most orderly lynchings in the history of the state." In Trilby, Fla., a crowd of citizens lynched William Leach, accused of attacking a 13-year-old girl. Early today a report from Liberry, Mo., stated that a lynching was almost certain if a mob caught a supposed member of the race dressed as a laborer, who attacked a farmers wife near there. Chicago Defender. Oakland Puts Ban On Birth Of a Nation. Oakland, Cal.-The citizen's vigilance committee of Oakland, Cal., headed by Rev. S. W. Hawkins, D. R. Wallace, Dumar Jones, E. Marshall, B. H. Godfrey and Atty. Lawrence Sledge, have succeeded in having The Clansman or Birth of a Nation stopped from showing in the city of Oakland. Roscoe Conkling Bruce in Dangerous Condition. Washington, D.

He is still suffering from brain concussion growing out of the recent automobile accident and his physicians and family are greatly concerned over the outlook, Mrs. B. K Bruce, mother of the educator, is hurrying home from the San Francisco exposition to be at his bedside. The flag of the Kansas State House was put at half mast on the death of the colored janitor, Tolliver Bird, who had served for thirty years. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG. 21, 1915 Colored Odd Fellows Endorse Woman Suffrage. At the Sixth Biennial meeting of the District Grand Lodge No. 2, of the United Order of Odd Fellows of New York, held August 3rd, 4th and 5th at Ebenezer Baptist church, in Poughkeepsie, a resolution was adopted endorsing woman suffrage. Grand Master, W. David Brown in his address said in part:- "Again we approach the threshold of another Grand Lodge session, we have assembled in this magnificent city along the Nile of America, where we have an opportunity to see and to feel the influence of one of the greatest institutions of learning for women in this country, Vassar College. This city has produced some remarkable women, who have contributed their share in making our Race and Order the better for their having lived. I can conscientiously say from long experience that this city has produced one woman, who has walked side by side with the speaker for lo these many years. (and has grown accordingly) who, by her mildness of spirit and her well-balanced disposition, has greatly aided in bringing about the prosperity now enjoyed." As your Grand Master I have been interviewed on several occasions by representatives from the Woman Suffrage League, requesting me to give an expression upon the right of women to vote. I believe the women should have the right to vote and have a voice in the selection of the ones to conduct the affairs of our government. We do not believe that anyone should be taxed without having representation. This is the foundation of a free and independent government. therefore it is our candid belief if the right to vote is beneficial to our Caucasian sister, it will be of greater help to our women and we should cast our ballot in the November election in favor of giving our women the right to vote." Among the formal recommendations passed by the Lodge was the following: "We recommend that it will be the sense and duty of every Odd Fellow who has the right of suffrage, to cast his ballot at the election to be held in November, 1915, for women to have the right to vote in this Commonwealth. In politics, as in Odd-fellowship, woman's worth will be felt." The woman's auxiliary, the Household of Ruth, which was also in executive session at the same time as Lodge No. 2, passed a similar resolution, endorsing woman suffrage. The American Woodmen Win Favor. Crowd Zion Baptist Church to the Doors. The Queen City Band Makes a Great Hit. The American Woodmen anniversary celebration held at the Zion Baptist church on the night of the 12th was the was the most pleasing and successful event of its kind ever held in Denver. The large and spacious auditorium was filled to overflowing till the doors for the Sunday School apartment were opened to accommodate the throng. The very best citizenship of Denver was there gathered from every part of the city. Every number on the program was so well received that it called for an encore. The Peerless trio, consisting of Messers Holley, Wolfskill and Jackson rendered with their usual excellence and were called back three times. The harp solo by Rev. Fuller was not on the program, but proved a happy surprise to all present. The artists Valurez Spratlin and Prof. George Morrison were at their best and received hearty encores. The Denver Nightingale Miss Jennie Mae Hicks opened the program with one of her superb solos that fairly took the house off its feet as it were. Mr. Yacob Reid did himself handsome and was compelled to respond to the encore. The Zion and Bethlehem choirs sang at their best and everybody knows what that means. In an address of more than an hour long the Supreme Commander, Mr. C. M. White set before the immense audience the salient features of the order and the general need of protection. His message was well received and more than fifty new recruits were added to the camp here and have shouldered their ax to fell the giant trees in the American Woodmen forest. With nearly a hundred members and $150.00 in the local treasury the success of the camp is assured. A dispensation for $2.50 lasting for sixty days is still on. Every good man and woman who wishes real protection should align themselves with this order. Dr. DelFrantz at 2734 Welton St., is the examining physician, see him. The Queen City Band played as never before- So well did they do that personal congratulations were given the manager, Mr. C. A. Holly, J. H. Thomas, mayor of Brooklyn, Ill., Anthony Speed chief of police, George Campbell, George Rowe, Joseph Doss and Emmet Dorman were found guilty of murder by a jury in the Circuit Court in Belleville last week, and all were sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. Oscar Bletson, William McCoy and Geo. Park, indicted with the convicted men were acquitted. On the night of April 27th last Robert Jackson and Louis Perryman were killed in a riot in Brooklyn. The dead men and Thomas Costley, who was chief of police under Mayor Cole, who is contesting Thomas' election were stopped by Thomas and his squad of policemen and a shooting bee, in which more than fifty shots were fired. followed. The case had been on trial since Thursday of last week. All the convicted men are in jail, except Mayor Thomas, who is at liberty under bond of $10.000 pending the disposition of a motion for a new trial for all the dependents. Brooklyn is an incorporated town inhabited almost entirely by Negroes, who hold all of the public offices.—Broadax. Mrs. Paul Laurence Dunbar Talks on Suffrage. Mrs. Paul Laurence Dunbar spoke at Zion Baptist church, Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday. The meeting was not held for the purpose of considering woman's suffrage, but her presence was respected. Mrs. Dunbar spoke briefly and said: "I am here asking the men of Pennsylvannia for a square deal. We women claim that the women of the colored race have built up the wealth of the race. We claim we women are doing our share toward the building up of the race. We do not claim we are angels and will start the millenium right away. Every man who amounts to anything is proud of his vote, proud of his citizenship. The ballot is an excellent thing. No man in this country ever asked for the privilege. The women are asking for it. No one asks for a thing without looking into it. The women are studying politics, looking into things and are asking for the vote. She is interested in all civic affairs. When it comes to voting the women are going to look up the records of the men attending to these things. I ask the colored men of Pennsylvania to think. There is not a colored man in the the leader, Mr. Hardy and the director, Mr. Rankford G. Holley. Denver is proud of their showing. Many band members became Woodmen on that occasion.

Mrs. Dunbar is a state organizer of the Woman Suffrage League, and is talking in the interest of the suffrage amendment to be brought before the voters November 2nd. Are Our Girls Trained Wrong? Some Say Yes. Kansas City. Old-fashioned playthin g s for "little sister," rag dolls, toy dishes—even a baby brother—these Prof. William A. McKeever prescribes as the first steps in correcting the divorce evil. He would teach human nature and elementary psychology to the girl of 16 instead of forcing her to take higher mathematics and foreign languages. "While the divorce mill grinds on six days in the week" said Prof. McKeever in his lecture to the Kansas City School of Social Service, "we continue to increase its grist in the future by useless and unnatural forms of training for our growing girls. Many of our young women are being led to the marriage altar without any knowledge as to what constitutes a good man. "We force the high school and college girls to take long courses in higher algebra, geometry and foreign languages and other such stuff, while we slowly starve out of their nature those beautiful feminine activities for which their hearts are so hungry. "A homemade rag doll is ten times more valuable as a plaything for a little girl than the highest priced Teddy Bear on the market! Toy dishes, make-believe housekeeping and taking care of baby brothers or sisters are naturally dearer to the heart of the 18 year old girl than the frills and furbelows with which so many wish to be deck her. "When a girl is sixteen, cut out the higher mathematics and the other abstractions until after she has completed a thorough course in elementary psychology and human nature and in what constitutes preparedness for marriage. Teach her how to jugde men. Take her into the merits of a thousand successful and a thousand unsuccessful marriages and teach her to know what to accept and what to shun in the personality of the young men who come to court her. Since the establishment of the Catholic Board for Colored Missions, forty new missions have been started and over five thousand children received in school. The work which has been done mainly in the South suffers from a lack of priest and sisters. Church News BETHLEHEM BAPSTIST CHURCH. 3148 Lafayette. Phone Y 7647. REV. A. E. REYNOLDS. PASTOR.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. It is needless to inform the public that the Williams concert given last week at the Auditorium, under the auspices of Zion church, was, from every point of view, the most successful of any similar undertaking Denver has ever known. There were nearly twenty-five hundred persons present, among whom were many of the most wealthy and influential people in the state. To say that this was a "sentiment maker" for the race is to express it mildly. The applause was so hearty and persistent that the stage manager was forced to plead for permission to continue the program as published. Next Wednesday and Thursday nights the church will conclude its summer entertainment activities by holding a season-end fair. Special attention is called to Wednesday's programme, in which will be presented Prof. Fuller, the most remarkable and versatile musical in the race. Mr. Fuller is an Aeolian harpist of unusual ability, using also a number of other instruments, performing on three at the same time. He will be supported by the best talent in the city. This programme will be greatly enjoyed. Sunday evening the pastor will give a stereopticon lecture from the "Life of St. Paul." These beautiful views with interesting narrative will prove an inspiration and delight to all. The public is welcome. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH, CORNER 23RD AND LAWRENCE STS. REV.

Albritton, the greatest lyric soprano of the Pacific coast, will be the star performer for the occasion. Miss Albritton, though personally unknown to the Denver public, bears the reputation of a great singer by distinguished Denverites who heard her in Los Angeles and other centers. She completes her course this fall at the Conservatory of Music at Boston, to which place she is now repairing. The choir of the church and other experts will efficiently sustain Miss Albritton in the rendering of her program. That our desire is to present artists of the highest repute cannot be denied. We therefore appeal to the public for their patronage on this occasion. The program begins promptly at 8:30 o'clock. SHILOH BAPTIST MISSION 2720 Larimer St. Rev. T. E. Henderson, Pastor.

The venture has been very successful, notwithstanding in the beginning the owners of the paper had to employ a New York printer to do the work in New York city each week. Many other difficulties confronted the Messrs. Webster, but they exercised great patience and used good judgment. In about nine months they had gained considerable experience and mastered most of the difficult problems which confronted them at the beginning. In relating his early experience with the paper E. M. Webster says: "Seeing the expenses going up and the profits beginning to dwindle, type, press and everything necessary to print the paper was purchased from a New York printers' supply house on the 5th of October, 1914. This enabled us to do jobwork and insert 'last minute' news, which was another stride forward. Since that time the Recorder has steadily forged ahead, slowly but surely. "There were times when things looked dark and discouragement loomed high, but we had only to turn to a little card which we had tacked upon the wall which reads, 'Heaven is not gained by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise,' etc. This gave us new hope and greater courage. On this, the Recorder's first birthday, we find in summing up that we have made a great stride toward the coveted goal, and with the same good fortune that has attended us in the past we shall ultimately reach the desired end. We extend today our best wishes to our readers and supporters, and we wish them the greatest success. "The Recorder has passed the infant stage. From an expensive experiment it has partly reached the happy realization of our fondest dreams. Our endeavors have been crowned with a success that has won the patronage and esteem of many subscribers and advertisers in a field of more than 400 colored publications. "We take this opportunity to thank our many hundreds of subscribers, advertisers, voluntary contributors and well wishers. The encouraging letters received have been many, and they generally came at a time when they were most welcome. Our appreciation is evident by our efforts to please. In the installation of interesting features which we are able to get from time to time we hope to cover a wider field. "We invite suggestions and criticisms from subscribers and readers. They are always welcome. The Recorder is for the benefit of our people as a race, and we respectfully invite the public to make it their home companion." ACTIVITY AMONG FARMERS.

We, as a race, have been and are continually complaining about the lack of opportunity to show our great est efficiency. While it is true that many of our opportunities are limited, yet there is a great responsibility resting heavily upon us and we fear that our race does not make the full est out of our opportunities. An opportunity to do a service carries with it a chance to create another opportunity. We fail to advantage ourselves of these little chances from which greater ones come. Besides, opportunities are worthless to a man who is not prepared to meet them. Preparation is the key which unlocks any door of opportunity, and is as necessary as the opportunity itself. If today the fire or police department would care to increase its ranks with five additional colored men, pray tell me how many would be prepared. Yet we complain about unequal representation. Suppose a detective was to be appointed; who would be eligible? Now my dear boys who work at the clubs of this city, why not prepare yourselves for better work and higher pay? Take the examinations. Let our young men who are now working in the lower walks of life study constantly and diligently and take the civil service examinations; be in a position to get something when it chances to fall. We can and will have more policemen only when more men take and pass the examination. We need park policemen, Auditorium guards, and custodians, and all kinds of positions. Get ye up and be ready, for you know not the hour when a big opportunity will knock at your door. ET TU, DOCTOR SHARPLEY. If an indignation meeting was called and every Negro was called upon to speak their present opinion about our Mayor, Dr. Sharpley, what good could be said about him in regard to him keeping his word and his pre-election promises to the Negro? Dr. Sharpley has certainly surprised all his strong friends in whom we believed and trusted. We wonder if the doctor ever thinks of his promises to us and how he feels when he thinks, and thinks, and in fact knows that he has not tried to appoint one single Negro to office during his time in office. He has found reason and excuse to appoint Swedes, Italians and other races, but nothing for Mr. Negro. And you, Doctor Sharpley, have joined our enemies? Well, if you have, doctor, we hate to see you go over to them. IS THE GOVERNOR A REPUB LICAN? Have the Republicans Failed? Several prominent Republican papers have raised a very interesting issue, as to whether or not Governor Carlson is now, or was at the time of his election, a Republican. We did not know then, nor do we know any more now, about his previous political affiliations, but we do know, whatever he was or is now, he has absolutely done nothing to recognize the Negroes of his supposed political faith. What have the state officials, H. Mulnix and Allison Stocker, done toward recognizing the Negro? Mr. Negro, these men can do something if they want to, for you, as some of them have already appointed Democrats to fill places which you worked for. It seems to the Star, when they get through appointing Democrats and Republicans to office, whatever little is left, it might be split and given to the Negro. The Star has almost lost all faith in party politics. We can say this because we have never begged for a job and offered a job to hoe and cut weeds in the park, nor is anyone connected with this paper asking for anything. We earnestly ask, since nothing real has been done by the state administration, are they Republicans. If so, of what type? Would you vote for them again, knowing them as you do now? Mr. Simon Smith has been appointed to a park position by L. C. Greenlee, our city commissioner. The Star appreciates this appointment and yet hopes that Mr. Greenlee can and will see his way clear to make a Negro clerical appointment soon.

Brilliantly arrayed with palms and beautiful flowers at the parlors of the Hotel Washington, on the evening of Aug. 12th, last Thursday, happened one of the prettiest weddings of this year. Mrs. Winslow, noted for her aesthetic ideas and floral fantasias, completely surprised everyone in point of decorations. The wedding was staged among a throng of the aristocratic white friends of the bride, Mrs. Cora Butler. Promptly at 8:56 p. m. Mr. Willis Bragg met his bride, Mrs. Cora Butler, at the altar and there in the presence of their many colored and white friends, the matrimonial tie was made by the Rev. Robert L. Pope, pastor of Shorter's A. M. E. church. After the ceremony the bride was the recipient of many hearty congratulations and valuable presents. Their "at home" announcement will appear in the Star later. "P. A." ODD FELLOWS PAY TWO CLAIMS.

CITY NEWS STORY OF HAITI AND ITS PEOPLE Little Island Republic Is Rich In Historic Data. PARADISE OF THE ANTILLES inhabitants of Country Made Famous by the Heroic Deeds of Toussaint L'Ouverture Indicate Desire to Establish More Friendly Relations With the Race In America. By THEODOR STEPHENS. CAPE Haltien, Haiti—Situated between the two Americas, at the entrance of the gulf of Mexico, stands the well known island of Quisqueya, which was discovered by Columbus on Dec. 6, 1492. It is a land of rivers and high mountains, a land of plenty, a land where nature is lavish in her generosity, a land that accommodates itself to all classes—from the peasant to the bourgeoisie—where the beggar in his hotel could be made quite as contented with his lot as a Caesar on his throne. It is a land which the Creator has in mercy given to the race of Ham in a patrimony, to have and to hold from the year A. D. 1804 and henceforward, as was Canaan of old to the twelve tribes of Israel; a land where all sons of Ethiopia are monarchs of all they survey and their rights to self government there is none to dispute. This small but independent republic, whose sons on certain occasions have shown themselves the worthy descendants of that astute statesman, that irreproachable knight, that Napoleonic warrior, Toussaint l'Ouverture, of whom his biographer said, "Cet homme fait une ouverture partout ou il passe" ("This man makes an opening wherever he passes." -Vie de Toussaint l'Ouverture). These scions of a worthy ancestor, who, it should be remembered to their THE GARDEN OF THE TEMPLE TEMPLE ERECTED BY THE BLACKS OF HAITI TO COMMEMORATE THEIR INDEPENDENCE. credit, notwithstanding the debit side of the ledger of their national life, have given proof of their valor in helping to liberate Venezuela from the yoke of Castilian bondage, have a parcel of ground allotted them, which from its geographical position, its temperate climate, its well watered plains and its natural resources could be converted into a veritable "Paradise of the Antilles." It can be made to yield proportionately to its owners and masters all that the state of California yields to the United States of America—gold in abundance—by the establishment of various industries all over har domains. Like Luzon, Haiti is capable of yielding large crops of sugar, which would find a ready export market. Like certain tributary dependencies, this land of the "blacks" is well qualified to produce immense quantities of fax and hemp, and to all the world Haiti could contribute substantially from her mercury and other mines, from her dyewoods, from her forests of building timbers, for architectural purposes as well as for railroad ties, ship building and cabinet work. In this way or along these and other lines Haiti could be worked up into a country of usefulness and abundance, where the sons of toll would under their own vine and fig tree find a veritable refugium peccatorum from the sodium of the "all white" peril. But Haiti has not yet arrived at this point. She will, however, develop along the same human lines as did Albion before she could become the England of the twentieth century. Her civil wars will end just as surely as terminated those of the old Picts and Scots, and her development will in time grow and progress, as have those of the sturdy Anglo-Saxon of today compared with his heathen ancestor, the druld of yore. Haiti is a land with which the Negro-Americans should in the interest of the race, in the interest of their history, become acquainted. They should become acquainted with its people, the Haitians, their brethren; with their customs and habits, with the salubrious climate of this fruittful land and above all with its exports of coffee, cocoa, sisal, mahogany, cedar, dye woods, etc. This can easily be done by communicating with the writer, who is a member of the race and has lived on the island for twenty-two years. MAN OF GREAT INFLUENCE. Success of the Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C. BY GEORGE F. KING. Columbia, S. C.—Thousands of people of both races throughout Texas and Arkansas taxed the large auditoriums of churches in those states to hear what hundreds of the most representative people of these states said were the ablest and most instructive lectures to men and women that have been delivered in Texas and Arkansas for many years during the recent tour of that great South Carolinian, the Rev. Richard Carroll. He gave lectures of vital importance to the race in his characteristic manner, brimful of practical advice and inspiration, which have made him a man of national import. For twenty years he has been known as a gifted lecturer and preacher and has by his remarkable ability and style reached thousands of his race and turned their activities into channels of higher usefulness. During his recent tour, which closed with unprecedented success, it was proved, as it has been wherever he labored, that he is a born leader. This fact looms up largely in South Carolina, where even Ben Tillman is in the saddle and says: "No colored man in the state has the influence with all classes of white people that Carroll has. He has the influence and co-operation of the best people in the state." United States Minister W. E. Gonzales, in Cuba, is among the many white men who pay tribute to his character. In his common sense way he takes a stand for right and does not once compromise with the enemies of his race. There are very few Afro-Americans in any part of the country who can register their opinion in no uncertain tones before an audience in the south as this remarkable character, who is often invited to address audiences of the most influential southern white people. His experiences in trying to bring about an amicable relationship between the races, especially in this state, are strikingly interesting. His peculiar frankness in dealing with this all important race subject and dynamic force of personality and sincerity have placed him high in the estimation of the best people of both races, and there is no man in South Carolina who can command the co-operation on the part of every element of Afro-Americans as can the Rev, Mr. Carroll. His life has been devoted to philanthropic movements, and his charitable endeavors are signally evidenced by giving his life for destitute children and contributing his finances for the education of a large number of them. Another phase of his activities is the finding of homes for the homeless. The colored farmers of South Carolina have found in him every quality of a leader, and as an attestation of this fact is the most excellent support given him in every movement he has launched, especially the South Carolina state fair, of which he was the organizer and first president, and the Batesburg fair, Batesburg, S. C. These fairs are reparkable evidences of the Negro's achievements and aspirations and have elicited nation wide comment. The Rev. Mr. Carroll was educated at Benedict college, and spent one year in study at Shaw university. He was highly successful in the postgate in Greenville, Alken and other rural charges in this state. For eleven years he labored assiduously as Sunday school missionary in South Carolina and Florida for the American Baptist Publication society, and the Baptist denomination work was made more effective in these states by him. When the Hispano-American war was declared Senator Tillman made Mr. Carroll chaplain of the Tenth United States volunteers, and since that time the public demanded that he should labor among them in various sections of the south. The Rev. Mr. Carroll married Miss Mary Simms, the first graduate of Benedict college. By this marriage he has four children—Dr. Ruth Carroll, Professor Barnabas R. Carroll, Seymour and Mary Crozier Carroll. Carroll labored with hfm until her death. In 1914 Mr. Carroll married Miss Corie J. McDaniel of Laureus, S.C., who is also a graduate of Benedict college. Business Woman Aids Noted School. Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone of St. Louis recently contributed to Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tenn.. the necessary funds for the completion of the laundry department of the school. Mrs. Malone is the founder and president of the Povo college, at St. Louis, for the scientific and sanitary treatment of human hair. Many young women and girls have been given a start in business through the efforts of this noble-woman. She contributes liberally each year to several worthy institutions for the education and uplift of our people. Baptist Young People's Convention. The annual meeting of the State Baptist Young People's union convention of North Carolina was held at Washington, N. C., Tuesday, Aug. 3. W. H. Knuckles, president, and Miss Mattle L. Garrett, secretary, made encouraging reports, as did also the delegates from the various unions. The attendance was large. Good Words From a Southern Paper. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle in concluding an editorial with reference to the recent heroic deed of John E. Stoner in rescuing a Miss Donovan from the sea at Atlantic City, N. J., says: "When you read of the next 'Negro outrage' just remember Stoner. A race is to be judged by its best representatives rather than by its worst." What Shall I Do to Have Long, Fluffy Hair?

HARDWICK, Mgr.] Service by Trip or Hour and, at Atlas Drug Store 2701 Welton Street MISS HUDSON GOES SOUTH. Young Alabama Girl an Honor Graduate of Pratt Institute. Brooklyn. - Success has apparently already come to Miss E. Leola Hudson, who graduated several weeks ago with high honors from Pratt institute of this city. Miss Hudson entered the institution after having graduated from the university course of the Atlanta Baptist college, now better known as Morehouse college, for the purpose of completing a course in house economic and domestic scientific arts. 75 Days A Big Subscription Campaign The regular prescribed course covers a period of three years, but because of her exceptional ability Miss Hudson was able to take one year off the course, much to the delight and satisfaction of the entire faculty. As soon as it was learned that Miss Hudson was to graduate invitations began to pour in upon her to accept position in some of the numerous educational institutions. Perhaps one of the first offers that came to her was from the school of her own home city, Selma, Ala.. where she has spent all of her life. Following close on the beels of this was an A. E. A Startling Opportunity To Save Money. MISS R. LEOLA HUDSON. offer from Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tenn., and then from Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., of which school she is an alumna. Another came from the state school at Tallahassee, Fla. To Our Readers and Friends:-- This offer made in the "Star" is especially for you. In order to supply a greater number of people and keep them abreast with the latest news during vacation time and the long winter months, Other institutions have also offered the accomplished young Miss Hudson a position, but it was not known up to the time of her leaving this city recently just which of the offers she would accept. While in Brooklyn she spent the entire time at the home of Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Timms on Chaucey street and was an active worker in the religious affairs of the Holy Trinity church. The Star offers One Years' Subscription from June 15th,1915,to June 15th,1916,for ONE DOLLAR. The career of Miss Hudson as a scholar began at an early age when she finished with honors from the Clark high school at Selma, then the normal course at Selma university, where she won two medals. She then entered Spellman seminary and finished the teachers' course, winning another medal that had not been captured for a number of years. Provided: Those persons desiring to take the paper enclose $1.00 with each and every name. Provided: That those who desire to take advantage of this offer, and happen to be in arrears in subscription, pay up to June 15, 1915. Provided: Those persons previously indebted to the Star in subscriptions, pay up their old accounts. And to all the foregoing this of $1.00 a year is good. Miss Hudson then entered the college department of Morehouse college and headed the class, finishing with honors and capturing the highest prize in the gift of the college. It was then that she came to Pratt of this city, from which institution she finished, sustaining her former brilliant reputation as a student. Fill in this Blank and return same with $1.00, and we will mail the Star to any address in the United States. NOTED VISITOR AT SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH This Offer Ends Sept. 1st,1915 Miss L.
