Captain l.. @. Vaile, colored,
chief of the Negro Catholic bureau
of Chicago, was in Quincy, Illinois,
lately and visited the grave of Rev.
August Tolton at st. Peters GEM
etery. He went back to Chicago
to raise a fund which a suitable
monument will be erected over the
last resting place of the first Cath
olic Negro priest in the United
States. Father Tolton was born
in Brush Creek, Rails county,
Missouri, Apr. l 1854 He labored
with heoric zeal until Nov. 28,
1889, when he went to Chicago and
held service in st, Mary's Church,
later in Church of his own which
he dedicated to St. Monica. He
was in charge of this Church when
he died, July 9, 1897, in conse-
quence of sunstroke. The body
was taken to Quincy and buried at
st. Peters cemetery. His grave
is unmarked and Captain Vale
feels that there should be a stone
on it. His memory is revered by
a large number of Negro Catholics
in Chicrgo and Captain Vale
wants the stone to be paid entirely
by Negro contributions.

woull be disclosed to the scientists
that there is no dirt, to the botan-
list; no poison to the United States;
no color problem. In all probabil-
ity, this prophecy will be early
realized, if Professor Waterman
succeeds in gathering a goodly
number of recruits beneath his
banner, because it is reported that
Professor Waterman asserts that
anthropologists have found that
there are no really black men; that
the skin of the darkest Negro is
only chocolate brown, when guag-
ed by color cards He also points
out that there are no normal hu.
man beings that are truly white
except albinos. So called white
men are really a saffron brown.
The greater pigmentation of the
darker skins is in reality an alb
vantage, as it means that the indi-
vidual is less subject to skin di-
seeases, and is practically immune
to tropical diseases.

Why Animals Change Color.

AS has long been known, the chame-
leon and several other cold-blooded
creatures are able to change color at
will. Science ascribes this ability to
minute cells situated in the cults and
called chromatophores.. They are filled
with the pigments of the various col
ors, and capable of contraction or en-
largement while the process of color
change is going on.

Isaac Fisher, the nationally famous
prize essay writer, winner of the $40O
Trust Regulation Prize; the 800
Good Roads Prize, the $1O0 Prize for
the "Ten Best Reasons Why Persons
Should Live in Missouri" the $500
Prize for the best essay on What
We've Learned About Rum" and
more than score of other prizes, has
been asked by the officers of the Ma
-tional Negro Business League to sum-
marize the important reasons why
Colored Business Men, Colored Busi-
ness Women, Professional Persons
and others interested, should attend
the next meeting of the league which
is to be held in Boston, Massachu-
sets, August 1S, 10 and 20, 1915.
In his keenly analytic way, Mr..
Fisher has digested these reasons;
and they are given in his own words
below:
There are some emotions which you
cannot analyze nor explain. To walk
the streets of Boston pays no grocery
bills, begins no bank accounts, pur-
chases neither comforts nor luxuries;
and yet l know that am a different
and a happier man because | have,
once in my life, not only Travelled all
over the states of historic old New
England, but have walked the streets
of in w a
had felt and dreamed of in the spirit,
that is, the place where men and
women in the midst of plenty, sur
rounded by culture and refinement,
to the realization that almost four
millions of colored people in the
United States were unhappy because
they were not free; and that it was
weak.
Therefore, to me, the reason of rea-
sons, which towers high above every
thing is the one which follows and
which is given first place:
L. To see-and what colored per-
son does not want to see-the city in
which were the headquarters of those
who labored to give freedom to the
American slave There is no use to
pretend that this is not one of the
main reasons why every Negro should
visit Boston.
If colored person has already Wis
tied Boston, he will find the follow
ing reasons compelling, nevertheless:
q Because anyone deeply enough
interested in the Business League to
try to follow it because it helps him,
is an individual who has worked faith
fully enough to deserve such vaca-
ton and pleasure trip as only jour
ney to Boston can give.
g. To see business done by real
business city. Boston is
(a) The commercial and financial
center of New England.
(b) The American seaport having
the largest foreign commerce, except
ing New York.
(c) The greatest wool market in
the United States and the second

(e) The home of the Boston and
Maine railroad-the most remarkable
consolidation of railroads in the
world, comprising 125 different roads.
(f) The largest city market for
fresh and salt fish in the United
States.
In Boston, one will see business
done by men who know all about the
subject and will see some of the
