WHITES HANDED HIM BACK TO
US AND WE DON'T WANT HIM.

Some years ago Cyrus Field Adams,
the versatile limb jumper who is as
sistant to Prof. Vernon, the Register
of the Treasury worked us as he may
have worked other journalists for
service on the promise of payment
that has not yet materialized. At that
time we put him down on the black
list as n. G.. Four years ago we re-
ceived letter from supposed to be
Chicago newspaper requesting that
we give up some real money to buy
a watch for this fellow as a thank Of
fering from the Negro press for his
wonderful service to the Repub-
lican party in the campaign then just
closed. Again we said fake We
have never seen the newspaper in
question nor even heard of it, and the
letter sounded suspiciously like the
same Adams, who had bombarded us
with chunks of his editorial insanity
from time to time at the expense of
the party and thereby contributed to
the hilarity of the Negro publishers.
OF recent days some colored papers
lauded Adams in the same breath,
seemingly trying to supplant the man
wifi The manikin. 1t is to laugh.
President Taft must be from Hayseed
Corners to be imposed upon by any
such fimsy bunco game as this.
Adams is one of the nearly white
Negroes who thinks his color suf-
ficient merit on his part. Visitors to
the department of which he is para
site say that he has not sense enough
to extend common courtesy to Jnem.
We have no use for the Negro any
way who despises his own raie, seek
ing to fatten On his claim that he rep
resents them. If Adams waits 10
pass for white, it his privilege and
maybe if he kept away from us we
would get along better. He has trie
to do so, and his gall actually caused
him to get away with it for while
We hope his folly will lead him to
try again, and then good riddance to
bad rubbish,

HELP OUR OWN.

When the Denver Choral Society
presented "Tannhauser," assisted by
the other talent. we are safe in say
ing that all of Denver turned out to
hear them. There were many rea.
sons for the gathering of that vast
concourse of people at the Auditor
ium for period of three or four days
successfully. Denver felt proud of
her own and wanted to create ambi-
ton, interest and class that few cities
Denver's size seldom reaches. The
lesson we ought to learn from that
incident is that the Negro in Denver
has but to let down his bucket
where he is" and he can produce and
be proud of the productions of the
musical young men and ladies of this
city Mr.. Clyde Andrews. the com
poser; Mr. Garfield Wilson, who
brought Denver Negroes fame: Mr..
Clarence Clark, who is now on two
years itinerary through the United
States, and Mr.. Morgan Jackson, the
violinist. Why don't the Choral Club
and other organizations see this op-
portunity and help materially and
morally these struggling young men
by giving periodical concerts and
thus benefit everybody? When out.
side talent comes to town we always
use our local talent, and why not per-
feet 1t when the outsiders don't ap-
pear? We have singers, players. re-
citers whose development depends
upon us. This can include the |. G..
A. also. Why cannot" Mr. Morgan
Jackson of the West" be a Clarence
White of the East and the same
thing can apply to our si.gers. re-
citers and jianists. Already outside
towns have made propositions to Mr..
Jackson and others for this same thing
about which we are now writing. Let
Denver do her duty to her young and
the results will inspire hundreds Of
young to become proficient to get the
reward of their labor Miss Virginia
Moore of Oakland, hitherto unknown
until Nine. Hackley brought her east.
Now she is known nationally. Think
of it. Denver has only one pipe or.
ganist. We trust these few remarks
will be used as stimulus to the diff
ferent societies to be of some real ben
eff in the concrete and not wholly on
paper.

AT BROADWAY THEATER.
cIara Turner and Company.


 There was a fair sized audience at the Broadway theater on Friday eve- ming to see Clara Turner and her com- pany play A Merry Widows Romance, which was one of the several pleas ing bills of the week. It pleased the audience as the applause signified and during the action a well rendered song was the speciality given by MT. Walsh. It was heartily received and the audience would have liked more.
 It was also amateur night and a number of old relables were seen again on the stage. Eileen Greiner in her song, I'm Not That Kind of a Girl, made a big hit, and carried off first prize, while Connell and Thresh- CT in their buck and wing duet got second money. J. Carberry did buck and wing and a Dutch clog to the de- light of the crowd and received third money. The comedy number was by Joe Straub, who sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and Pony Boy, but the prizes had run out before he was reached.
 This afternoon the company will play Oh, You Kid! in which Billy Barry has an important role, while tonight the attraction is The Beggar and Millionaire.

 Pleasing Affair.

A novel and very pretty affair took place in the parlOrs of Trinity Metho- dist church Froday evening, known as a Thanksgiving party For this there had been issued some three hundred invitations, each accompanied with little sack, for use in bringing or send ing back a Thanksgiving offering for the maintenance of the vested choir. The response was most satisfactory, and the evening was delightful in ev- cry way. MT. Elmer D. Kinsman was master of ceremonies, at which he is certainly an adept. The party being given by the Philathea class, they were in smiling evidence throughout the evening Two of their number stood at the door with baskets to re- ceive the mysterious little silk bags Mrs. George E.. Geer, the secretary, and Mrs. George E Robinson. the treasu- Ter A cordial reception committee in cluded Mrs. A. H. Nichols, Mrs. Albin Hagstrom. Mrs. Frank E. R. Leete, and Evelyn Mecan.

Burlingame from an artistical- ly spread table with candelabra. The ushers for the evening were the Bara- ca men, MeSSTS. tTeOTSc T.. INODillSOIi, president of the class, and William J. McNeely. A piano solo was finely rem dered by Frank E. R. Leete
 The programme was of an intermit- ent character. The Chelsea orchestra Robert w. Otis, leader; Mir. and Mrs. E. LaRue Bliven. cornetist and pianist; A. E. Cherry and Miss Minnie May Townsend, violinists-rendered several numbers. much to the delight of all. In addition to these two readings were given by Mrs. A. E. Park in her usual accpetable manner. both calling forth most pleasing encores. Two solos by Miss Elsie D. Brand were also much enjoyed These were beautifully sung, as testified to by the applause, so per- sistent that Miss Brand was compelled to gratify her listeners with two addi- tional songs.
 An entertaining feature of the even ing was half hour of fancy march, ing, conducted by Miss Bidwell and participated in by large number. Miss Alice L. Woodward was the &C., companist.
 The Philathea class has recently been organized under the direction of Mir. Kaufman.
