On Sunday evening, October 3rd,
Mr.. John Y. Carlisle died very sudden
ly at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Simon
Mason, 763 S. 10th street. Mr..
Carlisle was making call, and in less
tnan ten minutes after ms arrival he

ed was a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Cordelia
Gordon Carlisle, anu a member of the
Crucifxion P. E. Church He was
buried in Vineland, n. J., on Wednes-

Rev. Mcguire began a series of ser
mons on the Ten Commandments, on

On last Friday evening the Paul
Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum of Zion
Baptist Church, rendered a reception

who has just returned to the city from

it's graduates to teach cotton growing
in an English-African colony. The
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
at Greensboro, North Carolina, is
quite a credit to the civilization of the
western world, and an incentive 70
greater Americanism.
The existence of that a. and M.
College is due, and largely so, to the
untiring efforts of Prof. Charles Henry
Moore, of the chair of English at the
A and NJ. College. If we understand
correctly, it appears of record that
when the State Normal and Industrial
College for white girls in North Car
olina, was being sought, and its erec-
ton at Greensboro subscribed for,
Prof. Moore persuaded the colored
people of the free holder class Of
Greensboro, to subscribe for the build
ing of the State Normal College, at
Greensboro. and vote a tax on their
property, if necessary, in order that
greensboro might be the seat of learn
ing for white girls in North Carolina.
Immediately after the State Normal
had been declared founded, Prof.
-noore took steps to secure the Color
ed A. and NJ. College, now at Green's
borO, North Carolina. Prof. Moore is
true patriot and a loyal citizen, and
one who speaks of the South in pri-
vate as in public. He is not the man
| to make grand stand plays to the
white people of the South for selfish
gain, and then get off into the North
and "cuss OUT the Southern white
people, in order to appear brave" a
hundred miles from the firing line.
Prof. Charles Henry Moore deserves
the support and confidence of all the
people of Greensboro, North Carolina
as we'll as of the State in general.

FRIEND, THIS MEANS YOU.

A great many friends in this paper
have an idea that they help it by send
ing news and elaborate accounts of en-

never so mistaken. The way TO help
The Colored American is to pay your
subscription bill, if you are a subscriber,
and If you are not a subscriber send in
your subscription
The paper contains a great amount Of
live and interesting news each week Any
practical newspaper man can tell you
that It takes money and great deal of
It to run paper like The Colored Amer
lean. Do not flatter yourself that you
are helping the paper by sending it news.
Send the cash-a money order, an ex-
press order, a draft or a check When
these little evidences of appreciation
come along there is no doubt about the

The above suggestion will not only ap-
ply to the people who send in long news
letters, but will apply equally as we'll to
the many intelligent, well-to-do subscrib-
ers who get the paper each week and
who receive occasional notices, but who

FOR CHURCH EXTENSION.
Pantomime and Living Pictures
at 66e Cherry Street Baptist
Church-WaIIerC Concert Com
pany Scores es-PeFsonal Gossip.

Philadelphia, Pa, Special.-Concert
season seems to be at hand, and as
there is a time for everything we
virtually believe this is a concert
season. On last Thursday evening
at Equity Hall, the Utopian Circle, Of
the Cherry Street Church, gave a
grand entertainment. The programme
consisted of an entire pantomine per-
formance. Living PICTURES were dls-
played, among which were "Clinging
on the Cross" by Mrs. Padilla; Maud
Muller by Mrs. Shriner; Rush and
Noami," by Mrs. Dungee and Miss
Walker; Might" by Mrs. Credit;
"Pocahontas," by Mrs. Phillips, and

many otner beautiful pictures. The
pictures were perfect and were ap-
preciated by the audience. Although
living pictures display no great task
Wuen shown, yet there is a great deal
of artistic ability behind the display
ing and such was proven when the
young people were on the stage. The
remaining part of the programme was
a Japanese wedding, when Miss Ella
HopSon and Mr.. Wade ReduS united
by the "gO between" Mrs. Saunders.
This part of the programme created
quite a deal of laughter as the con-
tinual "salaam" was very amusing.
This entertainment was given for the
benefit of the extension fund of the
Cherry Street Church and there being
quite a large crowd, the proceeds were
very large Mrs Marie Curtis de-
serves great credit for the success of
this entertainment. After the pro-
gramme was rendered the audience re-
paired to the basement where the
committee served refreshments. Every
member was cOStumed in Japanese
gowns, and a Japanese tea followed.
Not often in the history Of concert
work are white audiences well pleased
with high class colored work. Last
Thursday evening at the Diamond
Street Baptist Church (white,) H.
NJ Walkers Concert Company, gave a
very fine concert. The church, which
seats some twelve hundred, was well
filed, and precisely at SIS the piano
was touched by Mr. Carol DitOn, who
rendered the first selection, after
whicn Mr.. MahOny, the silver toned
tenor appeared. Miss Ida Burrell, rem
dered several very beautiful selections
ana Miss Leila Walker did the recitine
of the evening, being encOred in both
numbers. Mr.. Alfonso Jackson and
wife played a Happy Pair" and won
the applause of the house. The tower
scene, from I'll Trovatore," sung by
Miss Burrell and Mr.. Mahony was
rendered beautifully. The audience
was we'll pleased with the perform
ance and congratulated Mr.. Walker
upon having such a corps Of high-clas!
workers. showing the better or higher
side Of the performers Of today.
On Monday evening last a testi
monial reception and presentation
was given at the Allen Chapel, A. NJ e

Chasing Shadows.

One morning last week young bird
dog created some amusement near
Hotel Belnap by chasing bird shadows.
A dozen or more sparrows we're flying
around tree in front OF Centennial
hall and the dog chased their shadows
on the ground as they flew from one
branch to another or flew away. A
sparrow alighted on telephone wire,
making a perfect shadow on ground,
and the dog jumped on shadow with
both front feet and began scratching
the ground, but the bird was not there.
II bird flew away the dog would chase
the shadow as long as 1t was visible,
but paid no attention to the bird itself.
II looked foolish to see a bird dog
chase little shadow, but how much
more foolish it is to see men and
women-young and old-ohasing the
shadows in life and ignoring the real
things. Are you chasing shadows?

Natural History.

One feature OF circus that is given
least consideration and which is entitled
TO more than passing notice, Is the
educational value thereof besides Its
glorious amusing features. A child Is
sent TO school, and the average youth
or youngster finds as most interesting
the study OF natural history. 1t dotes
on the savage lion, 1t is amused by the
"happy family" Of monkeys, 1t marvels
at the elephants and worries over the
only "Philippino" bull and the rare
lion slayers, black tigers, leopards,
hyenas, boars and animals OF all descrip-
tions. A teacher will vouch for the
statement that one object lesson Is
worth hundred book Lessons. The big
menagerie Of the Walter L. Main Shows
affords the only possible opportunity TO
study in life the animals whose pictures
they are won't TO see in their school
books. Consequently the great educa-
tional value OF this travelling institution
