COLORED INSURANCE
" COMPANY.
A Worthy Race Enterprise About
to be incorporated in Chicago.

Colored business men of Chicago are
about to incorporate IN insurance com
pany exclusively for colored people.
The reason offered for the drawing OF
this particular kind of color line is that
the insurance companies Of the country,
it is declared persist in holding out
discriminative rates to those colored
people who wish to partake Of the
benefits sccruing from life insurance.
1t is said by those who profess to
know that this is one of many move
ments to broaden the business life OF
the country's colored population. Col.
ored meu If means see good chance
to make paving investments by estab-
fishing race business concerns. In the
instance Of the Chicago insurance com.
pany scheme the plan appears to be
we'll outlined.
Ministers in the pulpit have called
their congregations to sustain the com.
pany, and the lawyers and small bus.
ness men-grocerymen, butchers, res.
taurant.keepers, coal dealers and the
like-have Joined with them in q con.
certed movement to make the plan
succeed from the start. DR.. Daniel H..
Williams, County Commissioner Ed.
ward H. Wright, s. Laing Williams
and Edward H. Morris OF Chicago, are
among the substantial colored men in
terested.
With these are associated Alexander
Miles of Duluth, Minn., reputed to b.
the wealthiest colored man In the
northwest; J. Frank Wheaton, the only
colored member Of the Minnesota state
legislature. and the Rev. w. Ii. Weaver

MEMORY OF THE DYING CENTUR

MEMORY OF THE DYING CENTURY
It was just 100 years ago
Since the dawn Of the 18th century morn.
1t budded like rose as we all we'll know.
But the 10Th century has faded and gone.
Oh to think of those years Of long long
ago
When our dear grand parents were born;
1t makes my heart shudder. but than We
all know
That the 10Th century has faded and gone.
Sacred to my memory are those days Of
100 years ago. ,'-
Many change has come since the dawn
OF that mourn.
But alas it is true! as we al we'll know
That the 10Th century has faded and gone.
The 10Th century which budded years ago
Is hidden and lost to the grave 1t has
flown,
Nevermore to be recalled. as we all truly
For the 10Th century has faded and gone
Down the stream OF time we all gently 60
Gliding by swiftly with faces core worn,
But lit Us not sigh at the thought, tha, we
That the 10th century has faded and gone.
Oh Goth century you too soon will 60
But we welcome you with hearts true and
warm,
Though we can never bid you adieu since
we all know
That the 18th century has faded and gone.
'Tis only one by one that the years gently
As o, BY one comes each centuries dawn
Though time is tleeting ~ we all know
For the 10th century has faded and gone
To the depths of the grave we all mrst g.
With burdens and sorrows that must be
borne
With brave heroes we'll bow for We al

That the 10Th century has faded and gone.

Gen. woodbury. Gives Out some Interest
ing Facts About His Company.
Gen. r. ". Woodbury., OF Denver, pres
ident OF the Coehiti Reduction and Im.
provement company, who has been In the
city for q few days, will return to Wood
bury TO morrow. This Is the name Of the
new postofice where his company Is
erecting its mill, near what was formerly
Allerton. The mill Ia now nearly ready
for operations, aud will be Of a capacity
OF from twenty-five to forty tons per day,
designed for the sampling and reduction
OF custom ores. The Cochiti district
Is fortunate In having a place
where Its low grade ores car
be sold, for nothing can contri-
butte so much as this to It's prosperity.
Heretofore, the great part of the ores Of
that district have not been available be-
cause OF too low a grade to be shipped
out, and because the mills OF the district
have operated exclusively on ores be-
longing to the mill owners. The mill
about TO be started up will give every
mine owner al opportunity to
dispose Of his low grade ores and thus
pursue development with the proceeds.
The Woodbury. mill Is about lao feet In
length by about afty feet, and Is very
substantially built. ", G. Wynkoop. for
merly the publisher OF a mining Journal
In Denver, and n OF the best mining
metallurgical men In the west, will be
In charge OF the operations, for which his
long theoretical and aeld work 30 en-
inently ats him. The construction OF
the mill has been done by Leonard Cut
shaw. for six years the building inspector
OF the city of Denver. The plans Of the
Cochiti Reduction and improvement COM
pany are very comprehensive and far
reaching. and as soon as the mill shall
be Ia operation. they will begin TO fur
Their develop.
