large attendance greeted the func-

of the Elks who are super

member of the organization de-

their entertainments, the following

The Western Negro Undertakers as
sociation which has just been organized
by one of our hustling young men in the
person of Undertaken @. j. Gilmore, as
sisted by John w. Jones, one of tho lead
ing undertakers of Kansas City, Kaps.
The white undertakers of this country
refuse to recognize the colored under
takers in their association. The colored
undertakers spend several hundred
thousand dollars with the white casket
manufacturers of this country and still
we are not admitted to their conven-
tions. Through the tiresome efforts of
Mr.. Gilmore, he has succeeded in bring
ing the undertakers of Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, California, Texas, Colorado and
the Territories together in convention
to meet at Topeka, Kansas at the same
time that the National Negro Business
League meets next summer. Mr.. Gil
more thinks that this meeting will be
the greatest gathering of Negroes of
any one profession. 1t will be only a
question of short time that the color
ed undertakers will be manufacturing
their own goods and sold by men of
their own race which will result in cir
culating several thousand dollars with
the race which has been spent with
the white casket makers. There are
over $50 colored undertakers doing bus
mess to-day and commanding COM
bined wealth of several millions
of dollars. 1t Is time that Ne
groes of other professions should take
the same steps inaugurated by Mr..
Gilmore and Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Gilmore is
quite an interesting race man and
should be congratulated by the colored
people of Denver on the success he has
had in the forming of this new organi-
zation.

more men entombed, and doubtless

The bodies of eighteen men were
recovered from the mines as the re-

80 men constituting a rescue party
that worked incessantly through the
hours of the night and day. II was

victims, and gave vent to their grief
as the bodies, one by one, were
