The Charity Bali

The grand entertainment and charity
ball given on Nov. 18th was a success
financially 1t was given by the United
West Indians in Oaklaed's 81 ,000, 600
auditorium. The early part of the
evening was devoted to short pro-
gramme, which was made up Of few
selections from the Filipino orchestra.
q selection by Miss Rutherford on her
one-stringed instrument, vocal solo
by Miss Maggie Parker and piano solo.
The hall is so large that all who were
not near the stage heard little OF the
programme. After the programme the
grand march took place. 1t was led by
Mr.. Bowman and Miss Ramsey. A
picture was taken during the march.
Dancing was then INDUCED in until l
O'Clock. Music was furnished by the
Filipino orchestra of about fifty pieces.
The music was grand, but little too
soft for such an immense structure, and
il kept ones ears on a strain to hear 1t
i'm the rear end Of the hail. j. Bowman
acted az floor manager.
We will not attempt to describe this
auditorium, as We can hardly find words
90. but will say it is one block in length
and half block in width. 1t is COM
plete in every Observation-Disclosures,
boxes and maple floor. 1t was the first
time it had been used by members of
our race, and this, of course, was a big
drawing card. We eztimated that from
500 to 600 were present. There were
several strangers from nearby cities.
The ladies in costume certainly looked
handsome, and many of the gentlemen
wore evening dress 1t can truthfully
be said that the whole affair was very
credi.able, and the biggest event of the
season. Mr.. T. Henry was the moving
spirit in the whole affair, and certainly
is deserving OF praise for the success.
Others interested and who assisted in
the hat rooms and as doorkeepers were
3. Moore, William Allen, l. Thompson,
Mesdames G. Dowell, T. and Y. Henry.
l.. Thompson, Mics j. Ramsey, and
Miss Maud Moore.

THIRD CHURCH ITEMS.

When it comes to pulling off big
things, the Third Baptist church must
be counted for special mention. During
the exposition season the San Francisco
public has enjoyed programmes OF un-
usual merit, through the efforts of our
pastor. We try to see to it that the
best is secured in every sense OF the
word in the midweek, as we'll as on
Sunday.
Seldom has there gathered in any
church a more appreciative audience
ing and evening services. The memorial
service was of that sort that sends one
away thinking about things that prove
The worth and create the destiny of
man. Among those who took part were
Chaplain GLADDEN. OF the Twenfy-fourth
infantry, Lieut.. Green Of the Twenty
fifth infantry, T. s. Grasty, and Rev.
Newman.
Thanksgiving services were specially
and fttlng'y rendered in the evening.
Rev. Sheafe Of Los Angeles delivered
the sermon ami nobody was anxious to
have him quit.
Monday night was in class by itself
and the church was so filled that stand
ing room was at premium. Close to
$50 people came to hear Captain w. d..
Loving and his picked company OF
artists. THIS was the first appearance
made by Captain Loving and his men
IN a specially arranged programme, and
long before 8 o'clock the auditorium
was filed.
our pastor will be absent on Sunday,
Nov. 2Sth, and two brilliant speakers
have promised to fill the pulpit-Rey.
Sheale in the morning, and Chaplain
GLADDEN. in the evening, which viii be
known as Soldiers service"
Rev. Newman left the city Tuesday
to hunt up marriage license in Sacra-
nento, and will return November 80.
The young lady who lives in the 1900
block on Bush street has voice toe
good to be kept at home, and we were
all much pleased to hear her Sunday
morning. Chaplain GLADDEN. has asked
her to sing on sunday evening.
Our employment bureau is a greater
success than we had even hoped tol
and through the efforts of our pastor
many mem ers of our race are securing
decent employment. Rev. Newman
does not accept. anything for his service
but your good will, neither does he asi

work Tor yea. If you think that suci
a spirit deserves your encouragement
just let Us hear lrom you.

BETHEL NOTES.

To say that Bethel had high day
last Sunday is expressing truth mildly.
At IL O'Clock Presiding Elder Wilson
preached to large audience. and ad-
ministered the sacrament OF the Lords
.Snpper.
The Endeavor at $50 was more than
usually valuable to all present. The
sunday school still increases. Mrs.
Hughes. who was absent two Sundays
from her class on account OF sickness,
nas present to the joy Of her excellent
Young people.
The evening service consisted OF a
memorial 10 the late DR.. Booker L.
Washington. The same was solemn
and superIatively interesting. The
speakers-Mrs. Annie Hughes. |. A.
Dennis, 0. f. McKaine, E. II. Holmes
and Rev. Harbert-treated different
phases of his eminent life and charac-
tel. The solo by Mrs. Mason, the solo
by j. w. Dean, anG the male quartet
derson-besides the choir numbers,
were pathetically rendered. and will be
jong remem bered. The large audience
went away with resolves for the future
on account of the inspiration received.
Monday night Elder Wilson held bis
quarterly conference. Reports were
encou, aging. both as to the members
received since the new pastor came-l4
in numbt rand financially. Following

Old, Tried and Trued

Inasmuch as we have previously
mentioned something of the under
taking establishment of G. Anderson in
San Francisco and Hudson & Butler in
Oaklann. it will not be out of place to
say a word of j. F.. HeDderson's under
taking parlors at Telegraph avenue and
Twenty-third street. Mr.. Henderson
entered the business several years ago
under the irm ma ne of Leach & Hender-
son. Later he branched out for HIM
self, and leased the residence at his
present location from William Ewing.
He is the right man for the business
and has been tried and not fonnd want
ing. We know of several cases where
there were not sufficient funds on hand
to carry ont the burial and Mr.. Hender-
son has personally assumed the respon-
sibilitv and in many cases he VAS never
repaid He is very accommodating,
always agreeable and meets you with a
smile. He has q lady attendant, Miss
Shaw, who is an able assistant. affable
and courteous and always sees to every
care and comfort Of every one. The
esta blishment is located close to the
church, handy to the street cars, and is
well equipped for the business, and the
service is first class.
