Denver Has an Organization to Send
Coiored People to Africa.

Denver, July 27-The Colorado-Afri-
can Colonization Company is the name
Of corporation composed exclusively
of colored men and women who meet
from time to time in Bourne hall, cor

with the avowed purpose of spreading
the belief that the place for Africans
is Africa.
This is the idea," explains Jerry n.
Walker, a leader in the movement. in
this country my people can never
thrive; they're always down. Now, If
we go back to Liberia we can really
amount to something. Somehow or
other, though, the colored people do
not seem to like the notion; but we're
gaining ground"
Every member pledges himself to
start for Africa May 1, 1903. The COM
pany has arranged for a rate from
Denver to Monrovia of $50. Forty
five members have signed the roll, and
1t is said the promoters expect to take
5000 to Liberia next May. 1t is said
that the Liberian government has Of
fered a large tract of land for colOni-
zation.
Last night the prospective Liberians
held a celebration in Bourne hall, the

With Enthusiasm.

Cape Town. July 20.-General DeWet
proved that he could evade friends as
successfully as he did enemies. by ar
rlving here Unexpectedly yesterday af-
ternOon and upsettlng all the elaborate
preparations prepared for his reception.
He strolled through the streets casual
ly noddlng to acquaintances and occa-
sionnlly to n former opponent.
Arrangements were quickly made by
Afrikanders to entertain the famous
leader at semi-prlvate dinner. tickets
to which already stand ut S26.25 pre-
MUM.
A striking contrast to DeWets return
was the scene Sunday when General
Botha and General De In Rey attended
church. The building was packed,
mainly with women, and the services
were scarcely concluded when these
Cape Town admirers stormed the pew
In which the generals sat. With diff
Guilty they retreated to the vestry. The
congregation followed and Generals
Botha and Della Ray were lifted to the
vestry table. The pastor of the church
warmly demonstrated, whereupon a
number of those present seized the gen.
erals and carried them to carriages,
where another demonstration ensued.
