ENTERTAINED BY
HELEN M. GOULD

Tarrytown, N. Y, August IA
Lyndhurst, the beautiful and spac-
ious country place of Miss Helen
M. Gould, the noted philanthro-
pist, and member of the wealthy
Gould family, was the scene of
much merriment last Saturday,
and the attendants and attaches
claim there was more laughter and
jollifcation to the square inch than
ON any previous occasion at Lynd-
hurst. The merrymakers were
members of Mother A. M. E. Zion
Church New York City.
The Rev. R M. Bolden, pastor
of Mother Zion Church, was for
merly pastor of the A. M. E. Zion
Church in Tarrytown 1t was
while here that he formed the ac-
auaintance of Miss Gould, who
was among the wealthy residence
who aided him financially in his
church work. A short time ago
Miss Gould, through the Rev. DIR,
Bolden, extended an invitation to
the members of the Sunday School
to spend a day az Lyndhurst,
which was promptly accepted.
Men, women and children, num-
bering over three hundred, left
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-24

New York on special train over
the New York Central Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock for Lynd-
hurst. Miss Gould personally
chartered the special train and the
visitors did not have to pay cent.
The party arrived at Tarrytown at
9:45 and was at once taken to
Lyndhurst where every arrange
ment had been made for the en-
tertainment of the guests. The
well known philanthropist also
saw to it that an appetizing lunch
con was served to the visitors, and
not one of the three hundred left
Lyndhurst craving for something
to eat.
The party returned to New York
on the special train at 6 o'lock, af-
ter enjoying the hospitality OF
Miss Gould for over seven hours

TAFT COMMITTEES SENTENCE.
Colored Woman, III. Her Life Is
Spared.

Washington.-With the seven
fold example of legalized murder
before him and following a deter
mined campaign of leading women
of the national capital, President
Taft this afternoon announced that
he would commute to life impris-
onment the death sentence i'm
posed on Matte Lomax. Colcred
woman, convicted of numbering
her husband, and the first woman
held in the District of Columbia
under the death sentence since
Mrs. Surratt, one of the Lincoln
conspirators. The Lomax woman
is said to be dying of tuberculosis.

DEMOCRATS HOLD
UP NOMINATION

Washington, D. G. Aug. 13-
General Robert Smalls, whose
name was sent to the senate some
months ago for reappointment as
internal revenue collector at
Beaufort, S. O., is being held up
by the Democratic Senators from
that state, and thus far the Re-
pnhsican Senators have failed to
get it reported out of the committee
to which it was referred. General
Smalls was appointed collector
under President Mckinley, reap
pointed under President Roosevelt
and again reappointed by Presi-
dent Taft. There has been no
criticism of his administration of
the office, in fact his several reap.
pointments is the proof that he has
made capable and efficient Off
cial. 1t is not at all probable that
President Taft will withdraw the
appointment. He will leave it to
the Senate to confirm or reject.
This is the second colored official
in the South President Taft has
reappo inted this year.

nation for postmaster at Fort Eth
an Allen, Vermont and was ap-
pointed July 25th at a salary of
$4,000 per month. There were
three candidates for the place; two
white men and Mrs. Hamilton.
She is the first woman of her race
to land like position over the civ
il service route, the appointment
of Mrs. Cox and others having been
recommended by the President.

WHITES KNOW LITTLE
OF NEGRO PROGRESS

The following editorial appeared
in the New York World, August g.:
"Only one valid objection can
be urged against the bill of Con-
gresham Fitzgerald appropriating
$25O,OO0 for an exposition to cele-
brete the fiftieth anniversary of
Negro emancipation in this coun-
try. The sum asked is to small for
the occasion The exposition
should not be a paltry one. 1t
should be male as near as possible
complete in every line of labor and
all-coniprehensive in its scope; ;
ample in extent to show both what
the Negro has been able to achieve
in his fifty years of freedom and
what guarantees he gives of in
dustry and of art for the years to
come.
"If the exposition be undertak-
en- in the right spirit and carried
out on broad lines, it can hardly
fail to augment the credit of the
black race and go far toward re-
moving many prejudices that now
hold their place in the minds of
people both North and South.
The world knows little of what the
Negroes have done and are doing
with their freedom. The output
of their activity, the fruits of their
advancing culture, are mixed with
the overwhelming mass of the pro-
ducts of the white race and can
not be measured and appraised to
the credit of the black. Conse-
quently, what we hear of the Ne
gro as a Negro is mostly a record
of his blunders or his vices or his
crimes.
IAN exposition of his industry
would be surely worth while if done
on a scale commensurate with its
Importance, and only on such a
scale should the Government give
aid to it."

EXPLOSION KILLS NINE
TEEN COLORED MINERS.
Seventeen Bodies Recovered a
Abernant, Ala.

Nineteen Negro miners were
killed by an explosion in the Aber-
nant Coal Company's mine at
Abernant, Alabama, Tuesday
morning. Forty-six white men and
eighteen Negroes got safely out of
the workings after the blast. Sew
enteen bodies had been recovered
Tuesday night. The explosion oc-
Cured in entry 25, about 100 feet

the workmen were engaged at a

greater life loss.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is
now at Skibo, Scotland, sent to
Wilberforce University a few days
ago, $4,000 in part payment of his
pledge of funds to complete the
girls Dormitory. This building
will be furnished in September at
the cost of something over $43, 900.
Toward this amount Mr.. Carnegie

New York, Aug. 19.-The ques-
ton whether Negro attorneys shall
be admitted to membership in the
American Bar association will be
submitted for decision to the an
nual meeting of the organization
next week at Milwaukee. The ex-
ecutive committee last night made
a special report regarding its ac-
ton in resembling the election OF
three Negroes as members. This
question first became promi-
nent last January when the execu-
tive committee reconsidered its
action in electing to membership

Chicago, Aug. Jack johnson
champion pugilist, showed yester-
day that he could fight as fairly in
court as in the prize ring. He ap-
peared as complaining witness
against colored youth whom he
had arrested for stealing tire
from his racing machine. The ev-
idence was against the prisoner
and the Judge was about to hold
him to the Criminal Court when
johnson spoke: Your honor he
said, 81 know this boy is guilty,
but sending him to Jail won't get

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Aug.
13.-Mrs John A. Kenney, wife
of Tuskegee Institute, Friday,
August 9, at II o'clock, from can
Ger of the kidney, from which she
had long suffered. In an effort to
prolong her life and ease her suff-
erings DR.. Kenney had her spend
the month of July at the Battle
Creek Sanitarium, Michigan. Not
securing relief, Mrs. Kinney re-
quested that her husbands friends
and associates in practice, DR.. Dan
iel FL. Williams of Chicago and
DIR. F. A. Stewart of Nashville, be
asked to come to Tuskegee in or
der to perform an operation. Ev-
en- the skill of such renowned
practitioners, however, as DR.. Will
Jams and DR.. Stewart availed
nothing against the malignant
maiady which mad fastened itself
upon her. DR.. Kenney's thous-
apds of friends throughout the
country, and especially such as
are members of the National Med
| ical Association, Of which he is the
secretary, will sorrow with him in
his bereavement The remains
were carried to Forest Depot, Va,
Mrs. Kenney's old home, and in
TERED Sunday afternoon.
Julius Rosenwald, the Jewish
philanthropist of Chicago, has
again shown his splendid charit-
able spirit through his great gift
of above 100000 to various insti-
tutions and charitable concerns.
Tuskegee is among the benefciar-
les, receiving $4,000, to be used
in furthering the work at DR..
Washington's well known school.
DIR. Rosenwald, has just reached
his fiftieth year, and in celebrat-
ing it concluded to make the
princely donations. He gives on
the theory that money is made to
be spent, and presumably on the
theory that he should show mercy
as it has been shown unto him.
AS we view it, he does the reason
able thing. His talent has been
for money getting, while that of
the inventor, the scholar, the mu-
sician or whatsoever, has been for
that for which they stand. These
give back freely of their ''stores,"
feeling that it is their duty to do
so. The very wares in MIR. Rosen-
wald's stores, and by which it has
been possible for him to make so
fortund, were the sesult of the
genius of other kinds. So it is fit
ting when the Carnegies, the
Rockefellers, the Resenwalds also
conclude to contribute to the world
of their genius and for the same
end-the happiness and advance
ment of mankind.-Freeman.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-24

The meeting of this body of ag-
gressive and progressive men and
women held its thirteenth annual
session in Chicago, ILL.,, this week,
In point of numbers, enthusiasm
and zeal it easily eclipsed any ses-
sion of the League since its organ
ization in Boston.
The progress reported in COM
mercial affairs from every section
of the country was inspiring in
deed, several representatives from
other countries being in attend
ance. Mr.. Washington, the presi-
dent, was at his best and every
note sounded by him rang true to
progress
The object of the meeting was
not to count wealth or measure fl
nance amid such Overwhelming
odds as found in the white race,
but simply to put forth an hum
bic and determined effort to collect
our scattered forces in business
and put confidence in its possibili
ties, unity in its resources and turn
the attention of the race to money
getting, money saving and invest
ment in enterprises that offer good
returns and to emphasize that,
these things are a necessity in this
commercial age.
There was no discordant notes
in the audience, scholars, teachers,
professors, lawyers, doctors, drug
gists, wholesale and retail, business
men and women in every line,
farmers, artisans, mechanics, work
ers in social reform, editors and
those in every way engaged in
building up the race.
There was no discordant notes
against any other organizati IN or
class of men engaged in other lines
of endeavor. 1t was found that
the race is now engaged in almost
every money producing enterprise
in the nation. The one dominant
note was "work, struggle, invest"
Without labor and economy and
its fruit-money-we cannot rise
above being hewers of wood and
drawers of water. "What we have
lost in politics, like the Jews, let
us gain in wealth." and it was in
deed encouraging to see how this
advise has been accepted for many
years.
