PLEASANT BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The rolling years have added one
by one their tally in the life of Mrs.
Matilda Ewing, but they have been
far more generous in the friendships
she has made. On last Friday night
an the hfenus who could comfortably
be cared for in the spacious home OF
Mrs. Frazier on East Twenty-sixth
avenue gathered to make Mrs. Ewing
feel some measure of the regard they
had for her. A social evening that
was unique was passed The birth
day cake, always the center of at
traction on such occasions, was there
in illuminated splendor, center of
attraction around which cavorted all
kinds of toothsome dainties, going to
make up very appetizing luncheon.
At the close, when all had done what
they could by words to make the oc-
casion a gladstone one for their hos
tess, they left multitude of valuable
and pleasing gifts, fit reminders of
the day.

ANNOUNCEME EMIT.

The Young Mems Christian Broth
erhood has definitely decided upon
the football game Thanksgiving day
with the Ninth cavalry boys and are
going ahead with the arrangements
for the game. There is also tenta-
tive proposition on foot to bring the
famous band of the regiment to Den
yer at the same time and feature It
in concert. Plans have not fully
developed. but it is expected that this
latter will be attempted if conditions
at Fort Russell warrant an excursion
from that point here on that day. The
soldier tram is from Troop l, which is
commanded by Captain Young. Foot
ball is more or less of a familiar
sight to the many, but should the
commanding officer come, Denver peo-
pie will have a chance to see the
races representative with shoulder
straps who is West Pointer.

GREAT SUCCESS

Chicago. Ill.-(SpeciaD- E.
Azalia Hackley was greeted by
packed house of music lovers on last
Thursday. night at Orchestra hall,
Michigan avenue and Jackson boule-
ward. The occasion was the retiring
recital of this noted singer, and it
proved to be the greatest event in the
history of Chicago people. 1t was a
success from every angle, notably in
point of art, attendance and appreci-
alton.
1t was largely through the efforts
of Mr.. Cary B. Lewis, editor of the IL
linois Chronicle, who was manager
and press agent, that the Orchestra
hall was packed from pit to dome
Visitors were here from several states
and the society people were out in
great style, leaders occupying the 23
boxes.
1t is safe to state that it was the
grandest and most brilliant musical
and social affair that has ever taken
place in this city. 1t was the first
time that colored people have ever
had Orchestra hall and they turned
out in taxis and autos, the ladies
wearing beautiful Paris creations and
the men in full dress.
Madam Hackley rendered her pro-
gram in a most pleasing manner. In
every number she showed the highest
of training, the most wonderful range
of voice and gave a series of vocal
demonstrations that carried the house
by storm. Her songs were sung with
all artistry of the finished singer. The
recital was highly entertaining and
was of great value to all who heard
her. The Tribune and Record Herald
critics spoke of her work in a most
complimentary manner. kilograms
were read from all parts of the coun-
try by Mr.. Cary B. Lewis and she re-
ceived many handsome boquets.
Madam Hackley is being urged to
return next spring and train a big
chorus for public musical.

Los Angeles. Cal.-The recent ap-
in this city of Miss Bessie Burlington
as a teacher in the public schools Is
regarded by Afro-Americans as a long
step forward toward the realization Of
their fondest hopes in regard to a
square deal in the recognition Of the
services of capable young men and
women as teachers in the public
schools.
Miss Burlington is comely and at
tractirc young woman of twenty one.
Che will be assigned to work with the
colored children. Of course. She grad
uated from Polytechnic high school
three years ago, with special recon-
mendation to Stanford university. As
her purpose in life Is to work for the
educational uplift of our people she
elected to attend the State Normal
school of this city, from which she
graduated with high honors and was
recommended to Superintendent Fran
cis A. a teacher specially qualified to
teach In city schools.
During last year Miss Burlington did
cadet work at Tifty-arst street school,
where q large number Of colored chill

young Gross won several prizes for ex-

years of experience at the trade before
entering business on his own hook gave
Mr.. Gross n prestige which meant sue

met obstacles. some prejudice and diff
nculties. but he persistently overcame
them.
Mr. Gross has been associated in al
most all good movements for the bet
terment of the race for many years. In
secret and benevolent organizations he
is perhaps better knowH first as past
officer in the Grand United Order Of
Odd Fellows When the Society Of the
Sons of New York was n potent fac

Americans Mr.. Gross was one of its
most active and influential members.
He served the society in the capacity
OF president for three years
OF the many public movements in
which Mr.. Cross has taken part and
which he has aided with his money
and personal effort it was not until the
heated discussion of n decade or two
ago TO decide the question of mixed
schools in New York that his real race
pride asserted itself. 1t was largely
through Mr.. Gross influence with Gro
yer Cleveland. who was then governor
OF New York state. that the governor
quickly concluded TO sign the mixed
school bill.

to create an awakening among colored
musicians and artists Realizing the
advance the race II making along

organization was formed to bring to-
gether the musicians and artists Of the

among them for mutual betterment and
to find out what is possible to ac-
complish along the lines OF music, art
and painting.
The National association In planning
this campaign hopes to reach every
musical and art club In the country
and thus maintain a strong national
organization. Since the organization Of
this National association among the
colored musicians and artists much
good has been done in stimulating

members of the profession Some of
the best known members of the pro-
fession are working enthusiastically
for the success of the movement
