THE CARNEGIE GROUNDS
TO BE MADE BEAUTIFUL
Plans on Foot to Make it a Rival of
the Capitol Park.


The hitherto unsightly grounds
about the Carnegie library building
are to be beautified. Wort. has been
going on there for some time undar
the general supervision of Mr.. q. H..
Smith in charge of the capitol isrourds
and the grounds have been laid out
in symmetrical shape. A great many
new trees, some of them rare and
beautiful, have been planted this
spring and now there has been order
ed enough box hedge to surround the
grounds entirely The hedge is the
same as that which ornaments the
entrance to the capitol grounds on
the south.
\ proposal has been made TO secure
the assistance of Mr.. Smith in an
advisory capacity, in further beautify-
ing the grounds and sentiment is al
most universally in favor of any ex-
penditure that might be involved on
that account.
There is no reason why the Carne-
gle grounds. under proper supervision,
might not be made as beautiful as the
grounds of the scapitol which, under
the direction of Mr.. Smith, within the
last twenty years have been made the
most beautiful in the southwest.
There is little doubt that those
grounds have been more valuable 10

An Honest Opinion.

Among the interesting anecdotes IL
Illustrative of Mr.. Cleveland's refusal to
give pledges of any sort is that which
describes an incident of the campaign
of 1892. and is printed in the New York
Evening Post. A literary friend of Mr..
Cleveland brought together. as if by
chance, the democratic nominee and a
prominent Irish American contractor
who was supposed to have much influ-
ence with the coveted Irish vote.
The interview was so managed that
the two men were left alone in the lit
erary mans library for an hour. At

Kindness 70 Animals.

There is great difference between
farm life and city life when it comes
to humanity and consideration of ami
mails. The dependence of a helpless
animal appeals to the youth on the
farm and helps to make good-hearted
men and women of them. Boys who
are brought up on the streets of large
cities without personal interest in do
mestic animals and accustomed to
seeing horses whipped and abused
have little regard for the suferings of
animals. But the farm boy vino has
a personal interest in seeing them
grow and develop, receives a lesson
in kindness that is never forgotten.-

The Best Feed for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply rourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ticn, and yet il is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it aI ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed
plentifuliy on Quaker Oats Will work
better and with less fatigue than if
led on almost any other kind OF food.
All Of these facts we're proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered BY Pro
lessor Fisher Of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
nlar size packages, and hermetically
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. 8

A NEGRO ARTIST

Chicago, ILL.,, August 17.-In a
recent issue of the Chicago Tri-
bune appeared painting, the
work of a young Negro artist whose
name is William E. Scott. The
subject of the painting is Com
merce," and is regarded as a re-
markao exhibition of artistic
gifts. The young artist has been
student in the Lane Technical
High School, and also of the Art
Institute of Chicago for several
years. He will shortly leave for
Paris to enter the studio of III. o.
Tanner and VIM. Harper, who are
both well known in the best art
circles. Mr.. Scott cam9 from In
dianapolis and has worked his way
through school by hard work.
Twice during his course of study
he has won third prize, and this
year he was given the Frederick
Magnus Brand" prize for pictorial
composition. His pictures may
be found in several high schools
of this city. His teachers and in
structors are very proud of him,
and predict for him splendid

in the edge of Cheyenne. nature
lavishly displayed extraordinary
scenic beauty. TO this the hand Of
man has added and embellishcG un-
til the scene beggars description.
Long rows of tastfully designed
barracks afford ample and comodi-
Gus accommodations for the soldier
boys. These barracks are modern in
every respect. To the courtesy and
kindness of commissary Sergeant
Richard Porter of the Ninth, we
were shown through the substan-
TALLY and elegantly equipped bill
lard rooms, library and reading
rooms, mess rooms and sleeping
rooms. Here neatness and cleanli-
ness reigned supreme. Sergeant
Porter is very capable soldier en-
joying the confidence and esteem of
all his superiors as well as fellow
privates. The discipline of this fa-
nous regiment of Negro soldiers
shows marked change for the bet
ter. Here are encamped companies
A to M, and the comings and goings
of the soldiers has caused nothing
but praise. Much of this is due to
the high standard of intelligence of
the private soldier as well as the
ever watchful care of Captain
Young and Chaplain G. w. Prio-
leau. Both are soldiers, splendidly
equipped for their work, and their
unselfish interest in the men upder
their charge has worked wonders.
Through them their men enjoy a
larger latitude of freedom with less
infraction of military and civil
laws. This regiment has just re-
turned from service in the Philip
pine Islands where their gallant
conduct won for them merited
praise. Their location at Fort Rus
sell is due to the labors and influ-
ence of Senator Warren of Wyom-
ing, a strong and sleepless friend
of our people. Long may the boys
live to protect this land of the free.

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

Atlanta, Ga, August 16.-Gov'
Browns pet measure advocating
compulsory education in Georgia
was defeated in the Legislature
last week, due to the speech made
by a member who stated that such
a law would mean the increased
usefulness of the Negro in this
state. The view was expressed
by the speaker that the passage of
a compulsory law would affect Ne
gro children as much as the whites,
and that theresult would be bene-
fetal to the Negro population and
and more to the detriment of the
whites.

Montgomery, Ala, August 16.-
The first proposed constitutional
amendment to be turned down by
the Legislature was that of Colonel
Sam Will John, providing that Ne
groes shall not hold office in Ala
bama. Colonel John declared that
he would thus cut off the day when
Negroes would become too impor-
tunate in their desise to hold office.
He explained to the House Com
mittee on Constitutional Amend
ment that his amendment did not
infringe in any way upon the Fed
eral Constitution of the Bill of
Rights. 1t would not, he said,
prevent the Negro from holding
on office of trust, but only a pub
lie office. The committee, how
ever, refused to report the bill to
submit the constitutional amend
ment to the people, and will report
it adversely.

FRONTIER DAY.

After an absence of four years
the Colorado Statesman representa-
{tive visited Cheyenne, Wyo. Years
fago when we were there the town
was lrsty infant, up TO the brlm
with promises of future growth and
importance. The lapse of time has
fulfilled our expectations and we
found a city full of the western
spirit and energy. Miles of paved
streets, thousands of beautiful pri-
vate residences set on handsomely
kept lawns. solid blocks of modern
business buildings bear testimony
of the commercial greatness OF the
city and the prosperity OF its cltl-
zens. In the days long gone very
few Negroes tempted Fate in the
Wyoming metropolis, but times
have changed and herewith human
iotsam from the remote corners OF
the world, the increasing number OF
the sons and daughters of Ham are
finding something to do and are do
ing it with hearty good Will.
Cheyenne citizens were wild last
week. 1t was frontier day and the
town turned back to the days when
the wild west, with its broncho bus
ters. steer roping, and the many
things now memory. There was
an immense crowd to see the dolngs
of the soldiers, the cowboys and
women, who put on riding and
roping features calculated to raise
the hair of the uninitiated. 1t was
enough to swell every Negroe S
heart with pride to note the appre-
citation and admiration of the vast
thronp for the soldier boys OF the
Ninth cavalry. They rode with the
finished ease and grace OF the
trained soldier, performing feats OF
horsemanship with their horses go
ing at a mad gallop, unequalled by
the much advertised Cossack. The
riding of the colored boys and the
cowboys presented lively contest
and a sharp contrast. The latter
rode with the slaven recklessness OF
the unframed rider, allowing his
horse to stand on his head or heels.
The press and the public were
alike generous in their praises OF
the various events.
