The Star is always glad to report the progress and show the high esteem in which our boys and girls who do something worth while are held by others and for that reason we give prominent space to the mention of the grand success of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in their concerts in which our own Mrs. Jennie Hicks LeNoir has won such an enviable reputation as a singer. We print herewith an excerpt from the Pittsburg Courier.
"The famous Fisk Jubilee Singers have spent the month of January in Pittsburgh and all of this time has been tak
SUPREME COURT, WON'T ACT
Austin, Tex.-The supreme court refused a writ of error in the case of the State of Texas against the Galveston & San Antonio railway. Suit was instituted by the state against the railroad companies for penalties for violation of the Texas Jim Crow law by permitting Colored passengers to ride in the same sleeping car with white people, the court holding that the state had no care, decided in favor of the railroad companies.
Color No Barrier Here.
St. Louis, Mo.—Julius A. Stevenson of 4215 West Belle has been promoted to the position of assistant chemist for the Sanital Chemical Laboratory Co. at Boyle and Laclede avenues, St. Louis. Mr. Stevenson is a graduate of Sumner High school and has been in the company's employ nearly ten years.
H. W. Malone, the superintendent, stated to an Argus reporter that Stevenson's appointment was due to honest and efficient service. He also stated that there are several Negroes employed in this and the shipping department, and it is the policy of the company to promote efficient employees without regard to creed, color or natiolality. The firm is one of the largest manufacturers of toilet articles in the United States.
Race Barbers put 'One Over.'
Omaha, Neb.—Recently all union barber shops raised the prices for haircuts and shaves The Colored barbers, not being allowed membership in the unions, did not raise their prices. The result has been that much white patronage is now seeking the strictly Colored shop. The union is much worried over the matter and delegates are visiting the Colored barbers who justly refuse. The union has no right to make such a demand upon them. They owe the union nothing, and the barbers have decided to stand pat.
Vicent Astor at Funeral of Colored Janitor
New York,—Vincent Astor, the world's richest young man and his beautiful young wife each scored once for democracy the other day.
Mrs. Astor is trying to link Fifth and First avenues in a neighborhood betterment plan Vincent was one of the chief mourners at the funeral of the Colored Janitor in the offices of the Astor estate.

blood for America's freedom and liberty denied his ancestry now: why the Negro troops of the Fighting Tenth U S. Army who were ambushed and some died noble deaths fighting for their country which denied them even simple justice, and why now Richard Wallace, an American Negro naval tar, out of all the Americans on board of the Earestone, was picked out and killed, the only American especially during these critical times, are questions which fate and time alone must give reasons for and answer. Why was the Negro in the dark continent brought in the war anyway? Why did the war effect suppressed and submerged Southern Negroes whose plight in Christian America was pitiful, have the mills of the Gods beginning to grind for America? Why are these things? Why?
Ethiopia's record in warfare stands out as bold and brilliant as any episode in the world's history. Whenever the flow of red blood was needed to dissolve disputes between men, the Ethiop has willingly made his contribution. In his wars to maintain his dynasties, in the campaigns of conquest of the Medieval age, in whatever cause, he has ever willingly made his sacrifice for right as he saw it. He fought with the explorers; he fought with the settlers; he fought for the independence of the nation. He fought for his own liberation; he fought for the liberation of others. Now, he is at his post in the Orient. Now, he is enduring and dying for American integrity in Mexico. Somewhere in France, amid all the horrors of modern warfare, he is battling beside his brother for principle.
We are told that this "Battle of Nations" has served as nothing heretofore to bring mankind to a better appreciation of the teachings of the Prince of Peace that the course of every shell is directed at the barrier that separates man from man. When the eventide of this awful day of carnage arrives—when the battling hosts have sheathed their rapiers and joined hands again in the true embrace of fellowship, what will be Ethiopia's reward for her contribution of faithful service and allegiance? Will it be "hired assassin"? "killer of men"? Will she watch the vanishing procession from amid broken armament and the mangled bodies of her sons, or will she stifle her sorrows in the consolation that that they died soldiers, and, joining that caravan of heritage, march to take her "place in the sun" along with the other races that will constitute that eternal alliance—the Brotherhood of Man?—Champion Mag.
How Can We Forget?
In speaking of the great slaughter of the noble black troupes who fought under Colonel Shaw at the battle of Fort Wagner, Mr. Frank C. Young, of Chicago, a colored newspaper man writes as follows: "As the last rays of the setting sun shone on Fort Wagner the Union troops formed more than a mile away, the famous Black Regiment (the 54th Massachusetts) in the lead, supported by the 6th Connecticut, 48th New York, 3d New Hampshire, 76th Pennsylvania and the 9th Maine. Not a sound was heard from the fort, the volleys of the Ironsides and the shells of the mortars were not answered. There was not a glimmer of light. Onward moved the troops. No sentinel challenged the oncoming foe, but all at once the silent walls of Wagner burst forth in a gleam of light and within its walls seemed to be a power unknown. The fearful hissing shot, the shrieking bombs, the deadly whisperng bullets spelt death to the invaders.
The column was demoralized for a moment, but the brave Putnam shouted "Forward! steady boys!" General Strong tried to encourage them as he was mowed down by the rain of deadly fire. They reached the ditch, they climbed the ramparts, they grappled and fought with the rebels, who yielded and fell back to the rear of the Fort. The black troops mounted the walls and cried "The day is ours!" But, alas! the concealed guns in the rear of the fort were brought into action and here our brave men fell like grain before the scythe. Here it was that the brave Colonel Robert Gould Shaw was found.

After the battle was over and the Union forces asked for
the body of the gallant Colonel, the rebel officers replied: "We have buried him in the ditch with his niggers." On the Boston Common is a monument to Colonel Shaw and his brave colored troops by St. Gaudens. There is a precious few left this day of that brave body of men who will march in line to fill up the fast thinning ranks of the G. A. R. in the State of Massachusetts.
They buried him with his niggers,
A wider grave it should be,
They buried more in that shallow
trench
Than human eyes could see.
Aye, all the shame and sorrow
Of more than an hundred years
Lie under the weight of that Southern
soil,
Despite those cruel sneers:
They buried him with his niggers,
Earth holds no prouder grave;
There is not a mausoleum
In the world beyond the wave,
That a nobler tale is hallowed,
Or a purer glory crowned
Than the nameless trench where they
buried
The brave so faithful found.
SMUTS LAUDS COLORED FOE
Native Forces used by Germans in East Africa Bravest Kind of Fighters, Boer General Declares.
London,—A telegram to Reuters from Pretoria, South Africa, under date of Friday states that General Jan Christian Smuts was accorded a magnificent public welcome upon his arrival in Pretoria on that day. The streets, which were decorated, were crowded with people from all parts of the Transvaal.
General Smuts, replying to said that he had been surprised beyond measure at the splendid co-operation of the mixed of his command and their wonderful work in the campaign, which "perhaps was the hardest in the history of the world." General Smuts said that the difficulties of the campaign were far greater than had been anticipated. The young South Africans, he said, at the outset thought they could easily conquer the German black troops, but they soon revised that opinion and his fellow officers declared that they never fought against better or braver troops.

FIVE CENTS A COPY.
WHITE YOUTH GETS 99 YEARS FOR ASSAULTING COLORED GIRL
Ashdown, Ark.—Fred Edwards, of Texarkana, is under a 99-year sentence for attacking a Colored girl. What will be done by the counsel of the young man, or what steps he will take to stay the sentence, it could not be learned after sentence had been imposed on young Edwards. There are those who see in the great exodus of Colored laborers to the North, East and West a great awakening of justice from the Southern whites of those whom they have so long oppressed. They see in this sentence of the Edwards boy and act of Governor Stanley in defying a Kentucky mob to save a Colored man from being lynched who had been accused of murdering a white man.

Sunday's congregation responded in splendid spirit to the call for volunteers in the "Soul-Winning Campaign" launched for the two months following. Nearly two hundred persons have definitely pledged themselves to give time in the work of personal evangelism and prayer. In the afternoon a large number was present at a call meeting-for organization. Twenty-five teams of workers are being organized, who will canvass the community and also arrange for neighborhood prayer meetings. Many names have already been offered to the church for prayer, but we expect to make up a large list containing the name of every unsaved person who is within reach of the forces. These will be visited and impressed to accept Christ, while prayers will be offered continually for their salvation.
At the evening meeting an unusually large attendance was present. A touching, helpful service was enjoyed. Three persons responded to the invitation: Sister Winnie Breckenridge, Sister Alice Hardwick and Brother Nathaniel Morton, the two latter for baptism.
During the "Campaign" Wednesday is set apart as a day of fasting and prayer. In the evening of that day the forces will meet for an united effort before the throne of Him who is the Lord of Salvation.

The vesper service of last Sunday afternoon was extremely well attended. Miss Harris presided and had prepared an excellent program. The High School Girl's club invites everyone to their candy, cake and pie sale Saturday, February the 10th, at 318 East Twenty-fifth street. The girls desire to contribute towards sending a delegate to the Colored Momen's conference of Y. W. C. A. workers in Indianapolis, Ind., and hope to realize the necessary money from this sale. We will also have a few dozen home-made rolls. All the goods are strictly fresh an dthe cakes and ples will be home-made. The sale opens at 1 p. m. and will last until 8: 30 p. m.
Instead of the regular vesper service Sunday afternoon we ask the members and friends to go to the Frederick Douglas memorial services at Zion Baptist church at 3 p.m. The City Federation of Colored Women's clubs will have charge of these services. At the close of the service tea will be served at the Phyllis Wheatley club room. Please extend your patronage to the High School Girls' club candy, cake and pie sale Saturday, Feb. 10. An abundance of clean, wholesome candy, cake and pies to be sold at bargain prices. The regular monthly business meeting was well attended. The reports show a large gain in the membership. The business meeting last Monday night was well attended. The girls prepared popcorn for the club after the meeting adjourned. We will have a talk on Italy next Monday night by a speaker from the Central association.
The membership committee is preparing for the recognition service which is to be held February 19th. If you are not a member of the Y. W. C. A. join now so that you can take part in that service.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
An important meeting of the committee on the boys' work department was held last Thursday evening to talk over plans for the reorganization of the department for the spring work, and to draft rules for some of the activities soon to be undertaken. The committee has in mind some important measures which it hopes to put into effect. Chairman Parks and his associates feel very enthusiastic over the outlook. A plan is on foot to hold a meeting with the fathers of the boys with a view to bringing about a more complete and effective co-operation between them and the workers of the association.
It is expected that the new billiard table will be installed at least by Saturday, the 10th, and all are looking forward to it with much pleasure.
The Rev. Henry Irving Kohler, pastor of the Broadway Congregational church, was the speaker at our meeting last Sunday afternoon, his subject being "The Art of Living Well." His address was very timely and helpful. Preparation is being made for a Douglas-Lincoln meeting on Sunday afternoon, the 18th. The meeting will be held at the Scott M. E. church.
The speaker for our men's meeting next Sunday afternoon, the 11th, will be the Rev. I. Sassamori, assistant pastor of the Japanese mission. His subject will be "An Interpretation of Shintoism, the National Religion of Japan." This will undoubtedly be an interesting and instructive address and all men are cordially invited to attend.
H. FRANKLIN BRAY EVANGELISTIC CO. STIRRING INDEPENDENCE, KAN.
Last Sunday marked the opening of what gives promise of being the greatest religious awakening this section of Bansas has ever witnessed. Dr. H. Franklin Bray and his corps of workers arrived last Thursday and rested till Sunday morning, at which time the lines of battle were formed and the battle begun. Four weeks of marching under the leadership of this wonderful general are before us and then the shout of complete victory will be heard from the mouths of the scores of redeemed and a mighty strengthened army. All pastors and their chucrres are co-operating and scores are being turned away each night for lack of room. A great chorus is singing at each service and young and old are organized, irrespective of race or denomination.
Dr. Bray's greatest need everywhere he goes is a tabernacle and we learn that he is having one built of canvass that will seat 1,500 people, and white and colored everywhere he goes are contributing liberally toward a fund to pay for it.
Will let you know the result when the smoke of battle dies away.

HIGH HONORS PAID LATE MRS. JONES
Devout Christian Woman Servied In Many Fields.
EXERTED WIDE INFLUENCE
Wife of Dr. Robert E. Jones Passes
Away at New Orleans After Six
Menthe' Illness—Was Notable Figure
In Religious, Educational and Civic
Life of City and State.
By V. P. THOMAS.
New Orleans. — Mrs. Valena Jones,
see MacArthur, wife of Dr. Robert E.
Jones, editor of the Southwestern
Christian Advocate, who died in this
city in January, was one of the most
widely known Christian women in New
Orleans and the south. Mrs. Jones had
been ill for the past six months. Although
she suffered greatly, she bore
it with noble Christian fortitude, ex-
emplifying exalted faith in Jesus
Christ.
In witness of the warm affection in which the deceased was held beautiful floral offerings in abundance were sent by individuals, churches, clubs and various societies. Mrs. Jones was a zealous church worker, capable as a public schoolteacher, a model and lovable wife, mother and friend. Funeral services were held at Trinity church. It was the largest gathering that has assembled to pay tribute to the memory of any person at New Orleans for many years.
Among the noted men who offered touching tributes of respect were Dr.
A.
THE LATE MRS. R. E. JONES.
J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological seminary, Dr. M. W. Dogan of Wiley university, Professor J. S. Clark of Southern university, Professor J. R. Reynolds of Gilbert academy, Dr. I. G. Penn, secretary, Freedmen's Aid society; Dr. W. H. Logan of Houston, Tex.; District Superintendent Valcour Chapman, and the Rev. Alfred Lawless. Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield of the Methodist Episcopal church made the principal address, which was a touching word picture of how Mrs. Jones had set the example of living for all who would live a right beautiful Christian life and deserve the reward of eternal happiness.
These testimonials of the place Mrs. Jones held in the hearts of the many people who knew her were tributes to the memory of one who really deserved the acknowledgements from those among whom she lived. Her achievements were of the character that meant more for the foundation of civic life with the home of love and duty to it as its inspiration than all the public achievements in the world without this foundation could deserve.
It would be a neglect of fine material and of a fitting opportunity for lessons on the beautiful in womanhood, motherhood and wifelliness if a book portraying the model character of this woman is not written and placed for study and contemplation in the homes of the many who need the inspiration that a study of such a life would give. She left in going to her reward two daughters, a son, a mother, a brother and a husband who had done all in his power to prolong her life, though she was sick unto death for months.
Without trying or thinking of doing so Mrs. Jones gave living proof that there is much in the Christian faith, much to live for in it, much to depend upon in it, much to draw courage from in it, much to bear and suffer pain in cheerfulness in it and, most of all, much to meet and face death without feeling the sting of it. She proved that with the Christian faith as staff and standard it was not so hard after all to bear the torturing clutches of palm night and day.
"My suffering is great, but Christ, my Redeemer, nailed to the cross and hanging from the nails in his hands and feet on Calvary for my redemption and salvation suffered much more than I suffer. I should not complain of my suffering or think that my lot is hard when I know that my Lord was crucified and died on the cross for me. My husband has loved and has helped me with a love that was tender and true from the day he first pledged me he'd love me till today, when with all his sympathy no more he can do for me."
URBAN LEAGUE'S BIG MEETING
Views of Prominent Leaders on Race Migration.
STUDY OF NEW CONDITIONS
National Organization Takes Initiative In Great Work of Social Service. Conference Discusses Method of Adjusting Migrants to New Environments—Exodus Still Continues. New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People held an important conference on the migration of colored people from the south at the Russell Sage foundation building in this city, Friday, Jan. 26. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, vice president of the league, presided at the afternoon session and L. Hollingsworth Wood,' president of the league, presided at the evening session.
Among the speakers were Frederic C. Howe, United States commissioner of immigration; George F. Haynes, executive secretary, National Urban league; John T. Emilen, secretary Armstrong association, Philadelphia; F. J. Triay, J.tri. special agent Erie railroad; Miss Helen B. Pendleton, assistant secretary Associated Charities, Newark; C. T. Erwin agent Negro Organization society, Virginia; Forrester B. Washington, director Detroit League on Urban Conditions; John J. Murphy, tenement house commissioner, representing Mayor Mitchel; Oswald Garrison Villard, William H. Baldwin, third, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal Hampton institute; J. H. Butler, assistant secretary Savannah League on Urban Conditions, and others.
In presenting a program of work for the Negro in cities Forrester B. Washington of Detroit in part said: "We are aware of the fact that the need for recreational centers is a hundredfold more important in a northern community than in the south, because of the shorter hours of labor in the north and the migrant's absence from the restraining influence of the community that is acquainted with him. With this in view we have organized a league of young men whose duty it is to get among the newcomers and invite them to one of the public school buildings each week to enjoy a pleasant evening with the very best class of people."
Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, speaking on "The Negro's Industrial Opportunity," said in part: "Booker Washington said the colored people were the only ones to come to this country by special invitation; that they were our guests. I think that this is true and that for this reason the white people of this country ought especially to look after the colored race. There is another reason for it. Every once in awhile we have commissioners coming from Italy to look after Italians, some one comes from Japan to look after the Japanese, but no one ever comes from the 'dark continent' to look after the representatives of the colored race."
On the subject of "The Futility of the 'Strong Arm' Methods to Stop Migration From the South" J. H. Butler of Savannah, Ga., said: "There is hardly a day that somebody does not write to us asking us how may they go north. The other day a woman whose husband is making $19 per week in the north came to our office for advice as how to get north. I tried to persuade her to return home because of her large family and to wait until spring. She replied that she would rather die than to return to the county in which she lived, one of the worst in Georgia."
L. Hollingsworth Wood read a letter from Governor Stanley and requested the body to pass the following resolution:
Whereas, Testimony offered at this conference has shown that lynching and fear of mob violence have led to a stimulation of migration, almost depopulating some communities, be it
Resolved, That Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky be heartily congratulated for his loyalty to his oath of office at great personal risk of saving a Negro prisoner from lynching, the administration of the law from disgrace and the federal court orders from threats of mob violence at Murray, Ky.
Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, official organ of the A. M. E. church, said in part:
"Colored people do not know their economic power, and the white people will not admit it. When they leave their very moving, although unorganized, proves both to the Negro and to the white man that the Negro is an essential factor in the development of the south. It further proves to the thoughtful Negro, if all of this stir can be made by an unorganized race movement, what can be done by an organized movement."
E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the Urban league, proposed a plan for organizing work in cities throughout the country, such movements to aid the migrating Negroes to adjust themselves to their new environment and in improving the conditions of Negroes in the south.

THE ANCIENT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM.
At last the grand old order has triumphed and reached the hearts of some of the people of Denver. Mr. Albert Hall of 4792 Claude court, already a man of distinction, has crowned himself with laurels in being able to organize the Ancient Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem amid such opposing opposition.
It is a lodge in which father and daughter, mother and son, husband and wife all meet together; whole sole aim is "Look up, lift up," by means of education and religion; with but one rule by which to sole all difficult problems which may arise, that is to "Do unto others as we would have them do to us." The right and just with its cause, it was, too, crushed to the ground, only to rise again. And only our Heavenly Father has in store sufficient blessings for such a man as Mr. Hall and his armour bearer, whose patience and energy was untiring and accomplished such a task. After an elaborate lunch was served by the ladies all left the hall saying, "It was good to be here."

DUNBAR'S MOTHER SPEAKS.
Tells Washington Audience of Strug
gles and Successes of Famous Poet.
Washington.—Mrs. Matilda S. Dunbar of Dayton, O., mother of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the famous colored poet was greeted at Lincoln Temple Congregational church, Eleventh and 12 streets, northwest, by an audience that packed that edifice to the doors. In simple language and a quiet eloquence and unaffected humor that held the interest of all to the end Mrs. Dunbar told the life story of her beloved boy reciting step by step his rise from the post of elevator conductor in a Dayton office building to the honored estate of poet, author, playwright and composer of lyrics for operas.
Young Dunbar made many stanch friends, but it appears that three of them, William Dean Howells, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, stood out prominently as the men who helped him most signally at critical stages of his struggle upward. The poet, still a young man, died of tuberculosis a few years ago at his home in Dayton. For quite a period he was a resident of Washington and was employed at the Congressional library. While on her present visit here Mrs. Dunbar attended the dedication ceremonies of the Dunbar High school, named in honor of her son, and of which fact she is pardonably proud. She goes from here for a visit to relatives in Chicago, and as a tribute of respect and courtesy the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, under the auspices of which she spoke Tuesday night, handed her a purse of $20 to help to defray the expense of the trip.
Mrs. Dunbar was felicitously introduced to the audience by Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the Colored Women's federation, who, mindful of the fact that many white persons were present, referred gracefully to the universality of Dunbar's productions. He was not a poet of the colored people nor of the white people. He was the poet of all the people, of all humanity, and his sentiments that built larger and nobler lives will endure for all eternity.
A notable feature of the meeting was the appearance and address of Sergeant Dally Farrior, a battle scarred veteran of the Tenth cavalry, United States army, one of the few survivors of the historic massacre at Carizal, where several troops of the cavalry, under the gallant Captain Boyd, met practical annihilation at the hands of ambushed Mexicans. Sergeant Farrior gave a graphic recital of the terrible story and how he and a few struggling comrades managed after days to reach their friends at the American line in Texas. His shattered wrist gave mute but convincing testimony of his active participation in that memorable fight. He has been appointed to a position in the war department in this city. This was his first public speech. He acquitted himself admirably.
Others who spoke were LaVant Dodge, professor emeritus of Greek and science, Berea college, Kentucky, junior vice commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of the District federation; George Topham, George Little, Mrs. Holland Powell, who presented the purse to Mrs. Dunbar in the name of the federation; Rev. Holland Powell and Rev. C. H. Stepteau Music, including the sextet from "Lucia," was rendered by the choir of Asbury M. E. church, led by R. W. Johnson, with Mrs. Essie Jarvis at the piano.
The meeting of the federation was held with the Bethel Literary and Historical association by courtesy of A. S. Pinkett, president of the literary association, who opened the proceedings and presented Miss Marie A. D. Madre as mistress of ceremonies for the

This highly unique observance was held at the beautiful home of the bride and groom of a quarter of a century, 1933 Thirteenth street, northwest, one of the stateliest of the modern homes now owned by members of the race in this city of magnificent edifices.
The hosts of friends of Dr. and Mrs. Norman turned out en masse. The Metropolitan Baptist church of 3,000 members, of which Dr. Norman is pastor, was invited as a unit, and cards were also sent to some of the other churches the doctor had formerly pastored. Besides this, 450 tickets were sent to friends outside of the church, bringing the total number of invited guests up to more than 5,000. No detail was lacking at the Norman mansion to make the affair all that the importance of the occasion demanded. The elegant and spacious salon parlor was tastefully decorated with palms and ferns, behind the embankment of which sat an orchestra, which made the hours merry with the enchanting strains of music. The color scheme was silver and blue, with touches of pink.
Mrs. Norman, radiant with happiness, was very becomingly attired in an exquisite gown of silver cloth, draped with heavy silver lace and with an ultra fashionable wide panel of silver lace insertion in back, reaching from the shoulder to the bottom of the skirt, the whole affair mounted over light blue chiffon satin. The ladies in waiting were costumed as follows: Misses Fannle and Amaza Hill, nieces of Mrs. Norman, were light blue and canary silks; Mrs. W. W. R. Richardson, light blue silk, butterfly style; Mrs. P. W. Moore, Elkabeth City, N. C., gray duchess satin, with silver trimmings; Mrs W. A. Sanford, pale pink satin, Dutch style, trimmed with gold lace; Mrs. L. O. Wingfield, medium pink chiffon satin, with border and handsome gold lace appliqued, made Louis XIV, style; Mrs. J. C. Fountain, black velvet, with metal trimmings; Mrs W. D. Jarvis, gray silk with chiffon; Mrs W. H. Mitchell, shell pink satin, trimmed with gold lace and ermine fur; Mrs. A. E. Peters, steel gray silk with gold lace trimmings, and Mrs. J. H. Randolph, light gray silk, draped with chiffon.
Dr. Norman, a perfect type of virile manhood, fitted admirably into the picture, dressed in the "conventional black," as did also his courtmen of gentlemen friends in line. They were E. G. Norman, brother of Dr. Norman; W. H. Mitchell, Rev. Holland Powell, Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Rev. R. V. Randolph, Rev. J. C. Fountain, Mr. A. E. Peters, Rev. L. D. Best and Rev. G. S. Wormley of Baltimore.
With queenly grace and dignity a coterie of charming ladies saw to the introduction of the guests and extended the freedom of the home in the name of Mrs. Norman. These ladies were Mrs. Susie P. Saunders, dressed in ivory white satin, corded and boned, made in butterfly style; Miss Marie A. D. Madre, LL B., LL M., dressed in a very rich Parisian model of costly-lace spangled with sapphires, and Mrs. Anna Clark Williams, dressed in white tulle, with pink rosebuds, made real Dutch style.
The Metropolitan Baptist church ushers served in both capacities as ushers and waiters under the skilled and painstaking management of Mr. Brown. The cloakroom, presided over by Mrs. Burden, Miss S. E., Miner and Mrs. Winslow, was handled without an error. The presents received by Dr. and Mrs. Norman made the display room look like the store of a first class silversmith.
This elaborate function was an illuminating testimonial to the popularity of Dr. and Mrs. Norman, not only in Washington, but in the country at large. In the decade or more that Dr. Norman has pastored Metropolitan Baptist church he has impressed himself as an earnest friend of humanity, a conserver of the highest standards of citizenship, a broad gauged man of affairs, a scholar and a Christian gentleman. As a lecturer and authority on the Bible he has no peer in this community. As an orator and pulpteer he is without a peer. In all of his work for the masses Dr. Norman is supported heartily by his wife and true helpmate, Mrs. Fannie Norman. The country bids them godsped.
Progress of a West Virginia School.
The West Virginia Collegiate institute at Institute. W. Va., has a larger enrollment of students than at any other time during its existence. It is believed that this increase in numbers is due principally to the raising of the grade of the school to college rank. Professor Byrd Prillerman is the president of the institution. He is one of the most capable and popular educators in the state. Under his administration the institute has made great progress.

A dose before retiring will assure you a full and easy movement in the morning. 25c at your Druggist.

JUDGE ROSALSKY'S NOTABLE RULING
Exhibitor of Race Prejudice Rebuked by Court.
VICTORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
Man on General Sessions Bench Orders
Name of John A. Magee Stricken
From Jury List—Most Remarkable
Occurrence Known to Jurisprudence
In New York.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—Public sentiment in favor of even handed legal justice and fair play to all citizens alike, without regard to race or color, is on the increase. Evidence that this statement is true has been shown recently by high authorities in several sections of our country, notably in South Carolina and Kentucky.
In Kentucky Governor A. O. Stanley not only says that he is against mob
JUDGE OTTO A. ROSALSKY.
violence, but backs up his words by action. When a mob of white men undertook to lynch a colored man at Murray, Ky., in January Governor Stanley, on being informed of the mob's intention, ordered a special train to convey him to the scene of the mob, and he let it be understood that as governor he would enforce the law. In this city and section of the country the most worthy and manly ruling in a court of justice occurred the third week in January in part five of the court of general sessions, presided over by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court was examining talesmen for jury duty in the case of the People against Nathaniel Motley, accused of the murder of John Press in this city in August, 1916. John A. Magee, one of the talesmen, on being questioned as to his fitness to serve as a juror in the case stated, so it is said, that the best reason he could give for not being competent to serve as a juror in this particular case was his prejudice against the Negro race and that as the defendant belonged to the Negro race he could not serve impartially.
Judge Rosalsky was so astonished at such a reply that he ordered Magee's name stricken from the jury list. The court told Magee that, while the white man sits in judgment today on the colored man, one cannot tell but what the colored man might sit in judgment on the white man tomorrow. "I shall order your name dropped from the list," said Judge Rosalsky. "Any man with such views should be disqualified from serving on a jury, for I do not think that any man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving his life or property who has such prejudice against a race."
Judge Rosalsky's ruling has caused wide comment in legal circles, and among the brightest minds at the New York bar the court's ruling is considered a fair and upright decision. Not only does the court's ruling disqualify John A. Magee from serving on jury, but it is one of the severest blows to race prejudice that has been struck by any judge here for many a day. Many communications lauding Judge Rosalsky for his fairness and strong manhood have been received by the court.
My attention was called to the importance to the Negro race of the court's ruling by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, an able and popular member of the New York bar. Mr. Wheaton says: "Judge Rosalsky's decision will not only go far to create favorable public sentiment for legal justice to my race, but for the members of other races throughout the country as well. Judge Rosalsky's ruling is a splendid sample of what many other fair minded judges in the courts of this city will do in such cases as they present themselves. Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the court of general sessions of the county of New York, was born in this city in 1873. He was appointed to the general sessions bench by Governor Higgins in October, 1905, at the age of thirty-three, being the youngest man ever appointed to the position. He is not only a man of fine physique, but of fine mental caliber and withal upright and just. He is a graduate of the law school of the New York university.
HAMPTON PRIZE WINNERS.
Miss Myrtle McLeod Leads Trio In Public Speaking Content.
Public Speaking Contest
Myrtle Eloise McLeod of Cocoanut Grove, Fla., won the first prize in the recent public speaking contest which was held at Hampton institute under the auspices of Miss Mary W. Nettleton and Professor W. T. B. Williams, who for several years have offered prizes to encourage students in the art of effective public speaking. "The Fezziwig Ball," from Dickens, was the selection chosen by Myrtle McLeod.
The other winners were Fred D. Lawson of Roanoke, Va., and Columbus K. Simango of Mount Silinda Mission, Melsetter, Africa. For the first time a girl has won a prize in the Hampton speaking contest. It is therefore interesting to know more about this promising student.
Myrtle McLeod was born on Dec. 23, 1894, and at nineteen, after ten years of training in the ungraded public schools, entered Hampton institute. Since her arrival on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia in September, 1914,
COLUMBUS K. SIMANGO, MISS MYRTLE

this young woman has made an excellent record in all departments of the Hampton school.
Fred D. Lawson entered Hampton institute on Sept. 25, 1911, at the age of seventeen. He began in the lowest class of the night school and is now a member of the senior class. Lawson played on the Hampton institute football team of 1916.
Columbus K. Simango, a product of the Mount Silinda Mission school in southern Rhodesia, entered Hampton in May, 1915, and has been making a creditable record in his academic studies and in his industrial work. Simango recently spoke before the Congregational convention which met in Toldeo, O.
Dr. Churchman to Speak in Boston. The National Equal Rights league has done a work of farreaching importance in creating interest throughout the country in the one hundredth anniversary celebration of the birthday of Frederick Douglass. The Boston celebration will be held in Faneuil hall, and the Rev. Dr. James E. Churchman, noted orator of Orange, N. J., will deliver the anniversary oration. Dr. Churchman is the league's national organizer, and as such is doing a noteworthy service for our race.
Race Conference Held at Columbia. The southern race conference, held annually at Columbia, S. C., opened on Wednesday, Feb. 7, with a large attendance. Race migration from the south, its cause and how to check it, engaged the attention of the conference to the exclusion of many other important questions scheduled on the program for discussion.

Negroes Farming In Eastern Colorado.
5
IFTEEN years ago farming was dis
cussed among leading Negroes in Colo-
cussed among leading Negroes in Colorado as a new avenue for employment and self-help. May 5, 1910, a Settlement was started upon Government land in Weld County, where 20,000 acres in one body was open for homesteading. One settler filed on 320 acres as a desert claim, and one filed on 160 acres as a homestead claim. These men talked with their friends and got others in-
Building Dearfield Land Office
terested in the plan, and now there are sixty families occupying 15,000 acres of the 20,000 acres. The other 5,000 acres has since been taken up by a good class of white settlers. Within a radius of twenty miles around Dearfield Settlement there are as many more colored families and farmers. There are now in Eastern Colorado five hundred colored families on farms and two thousand Negro farmers and farm hands.
O. T. Jackson, founder of Colorado Town,
Dearfield, Colo.
The Dearfield Settlement has a Townsite platted on state land consisting of 480 acres. There are eight blocks of town lots for business and residence, and unplatted blocks of 5 and 10 acres (less streets) surrounding the Town adapted to dairying, poultry raising, and truck farming.
In the Town there is a city well, a cement block factory, a blacksmith shop, telephone, and a church building. The Town is now building up and all kinds of business is wanted to supply the farmers, as they are prosperous and are spending from $20,000 to $25,000 per annum in the towns around
Making Cement Blocks
which are from 10 to 20 miles away, besides their mail orders and shipments from Denver and other places.
The products of the farms are increasing and there is now a marketable crop in this community of $250,000 per year produced by the Negro and white settlers in and around Dearfield. There is also a great demand for mechanics and farm laborers.
The opportunities offered in Dearfield for location and investment are unsurpassed in the United States for Negroes of business ability and small capital. There is an opening in Dearfield for every branch of business that is conducted in any established community. Now is the time for the young man to start in and grow up with the prosperity of Dearfield. The farmers have had five years the start of the town, and anyone establishing a business in Dearfield has the prosperous farmers, colored and white, as a guarantee of support to his business. No class of people is more welcome in Colorado than the good farmer or business man or woman. Colorado needs 150,000 farmers and farm hands, business men and women, to grow and handle the products we are now importing from other states for our own use.
Colorado has an area of 66,000,000 acres of land with a population of only 800,000, and only one-eighth of the land occupied, and two-thirds of her population in the cities and towns, thus leaving open the greatest opportunity for good farmers and for the building of thousands of new communities by white and colored settlers. The white settlers are here and are yet coming by the thousands. The Negro will have to hurry if he expects to partake of the golden opportunities of Colorado, which no other state in the Union offers. At the rate the lands and resources of Colorado are being gobbled up by foreigners and southerners the last call will soon be heard. Shall we as a race nut off until at last too late?
Dearfield Town Settlement has laid a great foundation for the building of the wealthiest Negro community in the world because of its productive soil, its climatic conditions, its close proximity to water, fuel, railroads, and the best market in the world which always has a demand for your product. Now is the time for the young Negro to become interested in the Town of Dearfield and be counted in its history as one of Dearfield's progressive pioneers in business. To those many lots or tracts within the next six months (beginning February 1, 1917) for business purposes we will give
every inducement possible, for WE NEED YOUR BUSINESS NOW to furnish the farm

A Thousand Feet High
And a Drop Into Matrimony
LUCY BURROWS was a farmer's daughter, and she had had a hard time of it since she was sixteen years old. At that time her mother died, and her father made her his housekeeper. He did it because it would save expense and because he felt that he could find fault with his own flesh and blood.
When other girls were looking ahead to matrimony Lucy was looking ahead to old maiddom. If any of the young farmers came to the house in the evening or Sundays to get acquainted with her, her father gave them such a hot reception that they were glad to hustle out of the house.
One evening the father announced that next day he must go to a distant part of the county as a witness in a lawsuit.

It set forth that Professor Skyhigh would give a balloon ascension at Skinnerville at 2 o'clock and that there would be no charge for the exhibition.
The farmer was off before sunrise, and about two hours after he had gone Farmer Goodue came over to borrow a hoe. He got the hoe and then gave Lucy a handbill telling about a big show to be held in the village that day. Lucy read the handbill. It got forth.
"I am goin' to be there," said Lucy in a determined tone. "I never saw a balloon in my life, but I am goin' to be right there when this one goes up." So she put on her best clothes and went to the village and joined the crowd. Her curiosity was immense. She walked around the balloon and viewed it from every point and, with others, crowded close to it so as not to lose a detail.
The professor was prompt in appearing at the hour named, and when ready to start he gave the men holding the balloon captive with ropes a signal to let go their bait and jump clear, but there was one who did not get away quick enough. That person was Lucy Burrows. One of the ropes made two or three coils around her body, and before any one could yell out she was fifty feet high and going higher every second. The professor

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
Several changes were made this week in our Sunday school teaching force. Miss Edson and Mrs. Brown have been assigned to the primary department, Miss Baldwin to the junior department, and Mr. Madison to the intermediate department. For the present Mrs. Branford is acting in the capacity of junior superintendent. Miss Darline Rease has been appointed organist and Miss Georgia Johnson will take charge of the Sunday school records. Other changes contemplated include the organization of two additional senior classes, one each for boys and girls. This will necessitate other changes in the teaching force. There was a full attendance this week at teacher meeting, excepting Mr. Gash, who is yet kept at home by the illness of his wife, and Miss Thrashley. There was noted improvement last Sunday in the attendance, though we have not yet quite reached the normal for this season of the year. We are praying and expecting that during the "Campalgn" every child of responsible age will be led to make a decision for Christ. To this end the teachers are energetically working. We look to see a great baptizing on Easter day.
A great Sunday school institute will be held during the week of February 18, under the direction of five of the world's greatest Sunday school leaders. We expect our teachers to attend in a body. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
AMONG THE AUXILIARIES
The Willing Workers and the Pulpit Aid each held their weekly meeting on Monday night. The Pulpit Aid is planning an entertainment, the date of which will be given later. The meeting of the Men's Bible Class was postponed this week, but it is expected that every man will be present the coming Tuesday night. The Women's Bible Class will meet Thursday afternoon of each week. Especially is it desirable that those ladies who are becoming active in soul-winning be present. The lesson discussion will follow this line. The ladies of the Mission Circle held their business meeting last week, receiving a goodly sum for the prosecution of the work.
CONFERENCE ON MIGRATION.
Urban League in Resolutions Outlines
Plan to Meet New Conditions.
Resolutions on the Negro northward
migration of 1916-17 passed at the
conference on Negro migration held
under the auspices of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Negroes at the Russell Sage Foundation
building, New York, Jan. 26. were
the following:
This conference on Negro migration, assem-
bled under the auspices of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing
(1) That this is the time of all times for
Negroes of the south and whites of the
south to arrive at a better understanding
of each other and of the value of the two
races to each other.
(2) That the Negroes' industrial opportuni-
ties in the north are unusual; that
northern employers are securing and can
secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal
constraint. American land, and that this
thus should not be abused or exploited,
but should be cared for as well as any
other labor.
(3) That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the south since April, 1916, and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the southland; therefore, be it Resolved, first, in the south, That wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes:
(a) To foster good feeling between the two races.
(b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population.
(c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs.
(d) By training and health protection to increase the industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor, especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work and standard of wages.
(c) To increase the respect for law and the orderly administration of justice. Resolved, second, in the north. That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants;
(a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the northern climate.
(b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the north.
(c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable resorts.
(d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the north schools, hospitals, police protection and employment.
(e) As to the cities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations.
GOVERNOR STANLEY IS FIRM.
He Stands For Protection of Every Citizen Regardless of Color.
New York.-John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper man of New York, has received the following letter from Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky, which explains itself:
"John E. Bruce. New York City:
"Dear Sir—Your kind and valued favor of recent date to hand. The constitution and laws of this state were alike ordained for the protection of every citizen in his life, his liberty and his property. No man should be denied their complete enjoyment on account of his wealth or his poverty, his creed or his color. If the law makes no such distinction a mob should not be permitted to do so or to overthrow established institutions, trample the law under foot and to wreak its vengeance according to its prejudice or its wrath.
"As long as I am governor of Kentucky I shall continue in the future, as in the past, to see that, so far as it within me lies, the law is rigorously enforced and that no man shall suffer save for crime committed and then only after his guilt has been established by an impartial and authorized tribunal. Yours very truly,
"A. O. STANLEY."

ON A SAD MISSION
The body of Mr. J. W. Fluellen of Joplin, Mo., who was the brother of Mrs. S. R. Lewis of 2339 Gilpin street, was shipped to his old home in Missouri and was accompanied there by his sister to attend the funeral. Relatives from Independence, Kas., and all parts of Missouri including her father and the rest of her family, came to pay respects to the remains. While on the sad mission, yet Mrs. Lewis met many old friends and acquaintances she had not seen for years, after which she returned home, arriving Wednesday via St. Joseph and Kansas City, Mo.
THE SHRINERS PRESENT GOOD APPEARANCE AND HAVE NICE TIME.
Fern nall, the popular place of Five Points, was comfortably crowded Thursday night when our Shriners gave their annual entertainment. Jackson's orchestra played the popular dances to the delight of all present. Denver should see her Masons with the "Fez" caps, "the Wise men of the East looking for the Star," and then think how much an El Jebel in the
future can mean to Denver. The Shriners, by their entertainment thru Messrs. Frank Burnley, Eugene Nell, Tom Boyce and George Derry, have fastened themselves upon the hearts of the Denver folk. It is the social part of the Masonic higher branches.
Mrs. Bessie Jackson is reported very ill at her home on Humboldt St.
CONSTIPATION MAKES YOU DULL
That draggy, listless, oppressed feeling generally results from constipation. The intestines are clogged and the blood becomes poisoned. Relieve this condition at once with Dr. King's New Life Pills; this gentle, non-gripping laxative is quickly effective. A dose at bedtime will make you feel brighter in the morning. Get a bottle today at your druggist, 25c.

God took you home with Him to rest.
