ly refused to give him up. AS she said
this morning: Il just could not bear
to be separated from him. he was such
good boy and | wanted TO keep him
and educate him, and oh, l don't know
what l shall do without him" Tears
filled her eyes as she thought Of his
being absent.
Mrs. West said she was confident her
daughter knew that to come and ask
for the child would be useless, for Mrs.
West had determined to cling to the
boy always, If possible. This then,
she says, was the reason why the
mother used the stealthy means she
employed to regain her SON.
Mrs. Augustus evidently arrived in
the city Wednesday afternoon and laid
her plans to get the child. She was
seen on the street late Wednesday af-
ternoon, but stopped at hotel over
night.

Two Negro ExpOsitiOns.

James j. Manuel, recently. ap-
pointed by Governor Mcdonald as
commissioner from Colorado for
the Friedrich Douglas Memorial
exposition, has been informed by
John G.. Jones of Chicago, presi-
dent of the exposition, that the
project has been consolidated with
the Negro Development and Ex-
position company of America, and
that these united interests will
make an exhibit of work and pro-
gress of the race at the exposition
to be held in Jamestown, Va, next
year commemorative of the land
ing of the English at that place
in 1907.
The Legislature of Virginia has
made an appropriation of $780,
100000 for this exposition. The
Negroes of that state felt it would
be a better opportunity for the
presentation of an exhibit showing
the advancement of their race than
the holding of the Fred1ick Doug
las Memorial exposition, which
was planned to take place in
Washington, May [ to July 6,
1906. They have enlisted the in
terest of their brethren throughout
the country and all will work to-
gether to have a representative
showing.
The Virginia Negroes have pc
titioned the Legislature to grant
them separate appropriation of
$4,000. The jamestown Expo
sition company has invited the
Negro Development and Exposi-
ton company to make its exhibit
upon its grounds and at the same
time in states where there are a
a sufficient number of Negroes to
warrant it, the legisture will be
asked to make appropriations to
aid in making a creditable dis
play.
The Jamestown exposition will
be held the summer of 1907, be-
ginning in June.
Mr.. Manuel will continue in the
same position as commissioner
from Colorado for the new expo
sition. He has under him a large
committee working who will see
that Colorado is properly repre-
sented.-News. .

several personal mention. Mrs.

private boarding house, she is an
intelligent young widow, gradu-
ate of Wilberforce, wide awake
and progressive. She also owns
the finest home of any among us.
Her mother, Mrs. Rena Ridley

and composer of no mean ability.
The Elks of Arizona gave an en-
tertainment, March 9th and 10th.
Mr.. Baker arranged the music and
composed specially for the occas-
ion several pieces of great merit
and rehearsed all the vocalists for
the part they took in the concert.
He is regarded here as one of the
great musicians of the race. Born
in Buffalo n. Y. some 30 years ago.
He has not robust constitution
but we hope to see him live long
to utilize his wonderful talent for
the uplift of the race.

Eugene Smith, the 6-year-old-
son of a colored couple, George
and Alice Smith, residing at 1929
Lambdin avenue, st. Louis, has
been giving the school board a
problem to solve. He has out
grown the kindergarten depart
ment, but because of his tender
age he cannot be advanced. The
law requires that those who enter
the grades must be 7 or more
years old. When application for
advancement was made he was
told that he must wait year. He
was given a special examination
by the superintendent, who says
he is remarkable child, far in
advance of his age in intelligence.
Eugene is native of Tennessee,
his parents having moved to st.
Louis from Nashville three years
ago. After consultation it has
been decided that he may remain
in school until vacation, as, before
the next session opens, he will
have passed the required age for
admission.
