NEGRO GIVES UP
FIGHT FOR ESTATE

Greeley, Colo, June 14.-The
unusual proceeding of a winning
plaintiff returning to the unsuc-
cessful defendant practically all
property recovered by the for
mer rather than take chances
of an appeal to the district
court, was witnessed today
when Isaac Brown, colored, re-
turned through an attorney for
the conservator of the Clara AL
ward estate all Of the horses, cat
tie, mortgages, jewelry, legal pa
pers, etc., in Browns possession,
obtained by suit from the estate.
The story of how Brown was en-
ployed by Mrs. Award on her
ranch near Hudson for twenty
years, of Mrs. Award s insanity,
her removal to the Pueblo asylum
and the startling claims of the Ne
gro, who declared he was Mrs. AL
ward s husband, were topics of in
terest here for months. The filing
of claims by the negro against the
estate and his success of winning
the suit because there We're no wit
nesses to appear for Mrs. Award,
caused much discussion. The Ne
gro obtained practically all the
personal property on the ranch,
showed a mortgage on the 160-acre
farm, claimed $2,50O due him for
work, and it was feared under the
conditions that all the insane wom-
ans property would pass into his
hands.
Attorney Ewing discovered that
Mrs. Award had a sister, Mrs. EN-
ma Eastman of San Diego, Cal,
and when the latter was Informed
of conditions here, she sold her
property that she might aid her sis
ter. Brown, alarmed by her vigor
and persistence, voluntarily offered
to restore the property and the
mortgage and withdrew all pro-
ceedings in court, thus leaving the
Award farm, valued at So, 900, un-
incumbered Mrs. Award was a
member of one of the most aristo-
cratic families in Evans in the ear
ly '70s. Her father was repre-
sentative in the territorial legisla-
ture from Weld county and she
and her sister were then considered
the most beautiful girls in this To-
cality.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

The world has been preaching
the dignity of labor ever since Cain
got sore at Abel. 1t will continue
to talk about it until Father Time
rings up the Curtains of Eternity.
Everyone feels that they are bet
ter than their job, and treat it in
a patronizing way. This element
of discomfort, sometimes called am
bition, more often becomes the ba-
sis of useless and idle lives. The
doctrine 81 don't Odnt my child
d0in' What 1 haze to do" is contin-
ually on the minds of many of the
fond parents of our race, and they
come to cherish this fetish to the
ruination of the child This is
done honestly. The parents labor
in season and out of season that
their boys and girls through the re-
filming influences Of education may
be prepared for higher things. 1t
is very poetic to see the daughters

DISBANDING THE ARMY.

A few days ago mighty army
was disbanded in Denver. There
was no screaming fife, nor beating
drum by which the brave soldiers
marched in to stack their arms, and
be resolved to common citizenship.
All the population stood still,
awaiting the thrilling scenes and
ceremonies. No furled flags of this
great army have place in our mill
tary archives. The disbanded ar
my is the army of tomorrow.
School closed last week and a
mighty host of children sat down
by the roadside of life to rest, to
think, to plan for tomorrow. What
is to be done with them? How will
they spend their time? In this
vast army some juvenile Sons and
Daughters of Ham are seen. Here
is the ever-ubiquitous race prob
lem. This race problem is a COM
plexity. 1t is lot of small prob
lens, each of which must be solved.
The problem of the colored child
is a serious one, whether it be the
school child or the one out of
school. The Negro boy and girl
must be trained for their places in
the army of tomorrow The train
ing of a child is serious and its ev-
olution from babyhood to years of
discretion forms an interesting
study. Especially is this true of
the Negro child. Now that the chill
dren of our race are released from
school, what are YOU going to do
for them'

NEGRO TO ENVOY BEQUEST

James Edward johnson, who
fell heir to the estate of Bridget
Topy, an Irish cook, several days
ago, has been informed by his at
torneys that there is nothing to
keep him from enjoying the $50,
600 bequest left him by the exc
cutrix.
Bridget Torpy was for twenty
seven years cook in the family of
Mrs. N. B. Taft, 46 w. Twenty.
fifth street. She died at the age
of 10 years of cancer. At her
death she was living with Negroes
at 221 W. Eighteenth street.
When the will was filed for pro-
bate last week the document was
attested by the testatrix's mark,
she being unable to write her own
name. According to the petition
accompanying the will, the value
of the estate is worth more than
$4,000. The testatrix's former
employer says the total value of
ihe estate is about $4,000.
James Edward johnson, the
sesiduary legatee in the will, was
assistant cook to Bridget Torpy,
and succeeded her when she was
forced a few months ago to quit
work on account of ill health.
In speaking of her former cook,
Mrs. Taft said:
Il employed Bridget Torpy for
twenty-seven years. 1 understood
that her birthplace was Galway,
Ireland, and l think she told me
she had cousins living there. l
believe she left at least $4,000, as
I paid her more than $11, 900 in
wages during her service with me,
and | understand she had quite a
fortune when she came to me.
"She was what you might call
miser, | suppose. She never spent
a cent of her earnings, so fas as |
know, and l believe she had mon
es in almost every savings bank in
the city.
Some time ago | learned the
nature of her illness and prevailed
upon her to go away for time.
She grew discontented, however,
and later asked me to get her a
room in this neighborhood. l did
so, and she remained there for
some time, but the next thing l
knew she was living among the
Negroes in the house where she
died. AT her funeral were three
white people-the others were Ne
groes.-New York Age.

EXTRACTS FROM BOOKER
WASHINGTON'S
SPEECH

In an address delivered to rep
resentative audience in New York
few days ago, DR.. Booker 7.
Washington told the members of
the race the following facts:
Commerce" he said, sis bring
ing the people together, making
them forget parties, race and col
or. 1t is making it so that the
southern white man does not know
he lives in the South and the
Northern white does not know he
lives in the North. So these two
sections of the great white race are
getting together on the dollar, and
if we do not get together they will
drive us to the wall. If the Negro
thinks the two sections are going
to continue to fight over him he is
greatly mistaken.
Commerce the dollar-draws
no color line" DR.. Washington as
serted earnestly. "The man who
produces what somebody else wants
will get the trade. If a Negro goes
into the poultry business, for ex-
ample, and ships eggs to New York,
nobody will draw the color line on
those eggs the cashier in the bank
will receive the producers deposit
just as cheerfully as he would if
that producer were the whitest man
in New York"
In speaking of the qualities of
confidence and pluck DR.. Washing
ton remarked:
"You remember when certain
man of our race started for Aus
tralia the question was showered
upon him, Aren't you afraid of
race prejudice in that white mans
country?' Warnings were sounded
that the color line would be drawn
sharply. r.'.,
"He held himself erect" con-
tinued the speaker. "He brushed
away others fears and advised his
friends never to mind about that
color line, but put your dollars on
me- Somebody telegraphed by
wireless from Boston asking him if
he were not afraid his color would
defeat him, and he wired back,
Send me no kilograms about that
color line, but put your dollars on
me-
"Suppose he had gone to Aus
tralia crestfallen, shouting he was
much opposed and the whites
would not give him a square deal,
would he have won? All, it is a
godsend he did win. 1t shows the
Negro race what determination will
do. What the world wants is sue
cess. Hold up your successes;
don't herald your gloom. What
the German, the italian and the
American has accomplished it is
possible for the Negro to do"
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-26

Suppose it would take all of
your fingers and toes and then
some more to count the black mil
iOnaires in the United States,
don't you think that the color of a
mans skin would not be barrier?
Then, n,suppose a combination of
these men with all their black
brethren behind them demanded
certain rights or restrictions, don't
you know it would be Immediate
ly granted. Why capital has
made America what it is today
and unless we get good strong
hold on more of this worlds goods
we cannot hope to demand and
then back up that demand.-Okla-
homa Tribune.

For the first time in the history
of Ohio an Ohio city has named a
prominent street for a Negro.
Baxter street has by enactment of
the city council been changed
name to Dunbar avenue, in hon
or of Dayton's distinguished de-
ceased poet, Paul Lawrence Dun
bar. The movement to change
the name of the street from Bax-
ter street to Dunbar avenue was
put forward by Edward L, Banks,
manager OF the colored Y M. G.
A. In doing this, Mr.. Banks has
made it possible for the name of
Dunbar to be called thousands of
times each day while Dayton ex-
lists and business is transacted
within her borders.

ADMIRAL sIasBEE's LECTURE.
Final Arrangements for Talk Abou
the Maine on Sunday.

Final arrangements have been made by
the Maine Monument Association for Ad-
miral Sigsbee's lecture on the sinking OF
the Maine, to be delivered at the National
Theater next Sunday night.
The admiral has prepared large num-
Der Of new lantern slides to illustrate the
lecture. The Marine Band Orchestra will
give sacred concert before the lecture
begins. The theater will be decorated
with the national colors by the Isabel
Worrell Ball Flag Association.
Many prominent persons are expected
and President Taft will probably occupy
a pox. There will also be in attendance
a large number of sailors and marines
from the navy yard and the Washington
barracks.
The proceeds of the lecture are to 90
toward the erection of a memorial mon
ument to the men who went down with
the battleship Maine In Havana harbor
in 1893.
Some very prominent people I'm social,
official and business life are behind the
movement for the erection Of the me-
mortal monument, and an appeal to the
country at large is to be made for sup
port and cooperation.
1t is said the monument is to be erect
ed within the city limits of Washington,
instead of at Arlington, as heretofore er-
roneously reported.
