q race what we can do for ourselves"
They gave $1,000, thus enabling the
men to raise a great deal more than
the required amount.
DR.. Jesse e. Moorland, senior inter
national Y. NJ. G. A. secretary, who
had charge Of the canvass, had on
previous occasions, when conducting
campaigns for other associations, said
that he should not be satisfied until he
found a member Of the race who was
able and would give $1,000 to the
work Of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation. There have been several
gifts Of $1,000 to the Y. M. G. A. in
the twelve or more campaigns which
DR.. Moorland has conducted, and this,
no doubt, led Dr. Moorland to believe
that the limit had not been reached.
Professor and Mrs. Malone have al
ways shown great interest in racial
enterprises, as this gift of $4,000 clear
ly demonstrates.
Mrs. Malone is the founder and pres
ident Of the Poro college in this city,
which is doubtless the only institution
of it's kind in the United States con-
Quoted by members Of our race. Mrs.
Annie M. POpe-Turner-M Malone is ma
tive of Metropolis, Ill. She was born
of humble parents and was left an Or
phan at an early age. Being OF a
thrifty and ambitious disposition she
managed to care for herself by diligent
work. She finished the grammar
school course and then took course
of study in the high school at Peoria.
III.
When but a young girl Mrs. Malone
studied the art of caring for and dress
ing hair until she became an expert In
this line of business. She began bus1-
ness for herself at Lovejoy. ILL.,. where
she was located for year and half
From Lovejoy she changed her resi-
dence to this city. From the expert
ence already gained she believed that
there was a great future for her as a
business woman. That she had the
right idea of the matter may be seen
from her present status In business.
Her establishment consists of a twenty
room building, and she employs from
1000 to 1.5OO women and girls of our
race in the conduct of the PorO college
kn this city.
Professor Aaron e. Malone Is a ma
tive Of Graves county, Ky. Like Mrs.
Malone, he was left an orphan at the
age of three. He was looked after by
an elder sister. He received his early
education in the public schools. At
Mayfield, KY, he worked during the
day and went to school at night In
1900 he went to Paducah, KY, to fur
ther pursue his studies, which he did

z. B. FAIRWEATHER'S PLUCK.

How q New York Business Man Con.
quered His Difficulties.
Mr.. Elwyn B. Fairweather, vice pres
ident of the Pan-American Products
company Of New York, is young man
Of ideas and is credit to the Negro
race. About year or two ago he
and one or two other men undertook to
launch a company in New York-in
fact did launch it-for the purpose Of
conducting an import and export bust
ness with South America, the West In
dies and Africa. The scheme failed
because the brethren had little faith
and less cash.
Mr.. Fairweather struggled along for
some months, hoping against hope, and
finally decided to take his eggs to an
other market He did and sold them at
good price. White business men lis
tened to his story and were convinced
Of the practicability and feasibility Of
his plans for making money out Of the
raw material of which there is an
abundance all over South America, the
West Indies and Africa.
His plan is the identical plan he sub
mitted to "colored" men In New York
city, but their dull minds could not
grasp it-they hesitated, they dallied.
forgetting that he who dallies is q das-
tard and he who doubts is damned.
The American aluminium Company
Of New York city, q concern with un.
limited capital has become interested
in the Pan-American Products corpora
tion's properties in South America, and
the president Of this company is now
en- route to British Guiana to inspect
them and to confer with Mr.. D. Il.
Headley, the corporations local agent
at PernambucO, who is man of color,
practical mining and civil engineer,
who has acquired quite considerable
tract Of land in Guiana, on which
bauxite is to be found in great guam
titles.
Now, bauxite is the mineral from
which aluminium is made, and it COM
mands good prices.
The American Aluminium company will
invest generous sum at the start
with the Pan-American corporation,
which is developing these properties.
Mr.. Fairweather is the only colored
man connected in an official capacity
with the Pan-American corporation in
this country.
Mr.. Headley is the agent and engi-
neer of the corporation in the Guianas.
The concern is going to do big business
in the next year, for it will get all the
capital 1t requires. "COlored' men,
united, could do just as big business in
this line If they only had little more
faith in each other and would loosen
up their purse strings.

LACK OF HUMAN KINDNESS.
Sad Experience Of Dorothy L. NJ
Armstrong at Yonkers, N. Y.

Dorothy L. NJ. Armstrong, aged TWEEN
ty-one, cOlOred, sought shelter at the
Young Women's Christian association
in YOnkers, N. Y, recently. She had
no money and wanted to pawn a watch
to enable her. with the proceeds, to
go to her sisters home in Virginia. She
was turned over to police officer, who
took her to the White Rose cottage, 3
School street. Later she went away
from there. and the police were asked
to take care Of her If found, says the
Yonkers Statesman.
The above situation seems very
strange. The Young Women's Chris
tian association Of Yonkers recently
celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and
kept open house for q week or ten
days. One Of the features Of the jol-
lification was a night devoted to the
colored women of the city who belong
to the association. They gave a mu-
sical and literary program, and the
white ladies looked on as spectators
and sometimes applauded particu-
larly interesting number.
But why should this white Women's
Christian association treat this colOred
girl SO un-Christianlike and turn her
over to the police? Are there mo
rooms in the inn" for cOlored women? :?
What a travesty OH the name Chris
tian! Would the Christ have turned
away this stranger seeking shelter,
hospitality and word of comfort and
encouragement? What must have been
the feelings Of this dark hued sister as
she reflected on the heartless and frig
Id reception accorded her by these
Christian white ladies! God save the
markl

Fighting Segregation In st. Louis.
The st. Louis segregation ordinances
are causing no small amount Of trou-
BILE. Injunctions to prevent their en-
f0rcement by the mayor and other city
officials have been filed in the United
States district court by both white
and colored property owners. The
complainants declare that the ordi-
nances are a violation Of the consti-
tuition of Missouri and the constitu-
ton Of the United States. 1t is be-
lieved that any attempt to enforce the
new law before it receives the sane
ton Of the state supreme court will be
stubbornly fought and that If the state
supreme court upholds the ordinance
an appeal will be taken to the United
States supreme court
