ANTHONY FRANK BURNLEY, POP
ULAR DENVER CITIZEN, AN
SWERS FINAL ROLL-CALl.

II N the natural order of our creation
man seems to respond to an initial
= roll-call which ushers him into an
earthly possession and after an in
terval he answers a final which passes
him thru a transition state, to fu-
ture state of reward for the deeds
done during his soJourn on earth, and
so Anthony Frank Burnley, born in
Hartsville, Tenn, February, 1870, re-
moving afterwards to San Francisco,
Cal, and twenty years ago to Denver,
Colo, answered the last call when he
passed from this time to eternity's
on Sunday morning, December End at
the hour of one o'clock, after an ill
ness of three months of complica-
tion of maladies. He was manager OF
the Railroad Men and Walters Club,
an organization which for several
years provided healthy recreation for
railroad employes-music and litera-
ture being among the principal fea-
lures, and the respect and high es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
members, their friends and the gen
eral community are but small attri-
butes to the unselfish, unassuming
life he lived. Charitable in his dispo-
sition to more than an ordinary de-
gree, he relieved the distresses OF
many sufferers, and brought cheer to
the homes of many by his kind re-
membranes on periodical occasions.
His annual gift of Thanksgiving din
ner to the members of his asSocla-
ton for a number of years was proof
of his generosity, and his timely aid
and advices in securing employment
and ameliorating conditions of his fell
lowmen will leave permanent legacy
to his memory. He married the
daughter of Alfred Froman, an officer
of the Denver Fire Department, and is
survived by her and son five years
old A member of the Masonic frat
ernity, having achieved some of the
highest positions, his funeral was held
under the auspices of Centennial
| Lodge, No. 4, F. & A. NJ, from the
Church of the Holy Redeemer last
Thursday afternoon, Father H. b.
Brown officiating. attended by large
concourse of people who paid their
last respects to a man who was ad-
mired as citizen, faithful husband
and a true friend. The floral offer
| ings were beautiful and abundant. He
leaves to mourn his loss, wife, son,
sister and father-in-law, in Denver;
also a mother, two brothers and two
| sisters in Tennessee. The Colorado
| Statesman offers it's deepest SYM
pathy to the bereaved relatives, COM
mending them to the care of Him
Who will protect the fatherless and
widow In the very prime of life he
lifted the dark curtain and passed be-
yond. Because of what he was we
| know now that he has insured the re-
| ward for his good deeds on earth
and may his soul rest in peace

MAsoN'S ENTERTAINMENT HUGE
SUCCESS.

1t is not necessary to "gild refined
gold" or paint the lily" when COM
menting on the entertainments pro
vided by the Masons for the Denver
public, as their order of action seems
to please their guests and patrons,
who, with unfailing regularity follow
wherever they go. Thanksgiving
evening, at Manitou Hall, was the
most recent event and Nature lent her
Endorsement to a glorious success
when an ideal weather condition pre-
vailed, which caused the attendance
to fill the spacious hall to its capac-
ity Prof Morgan Jackson's orchestra
charmed the trippers as they glided
over the specially prepared floor and
a continuous round of pleasure was
afforded youth as well as advanced
years. VIM. Russ, chairman of the
committee, and his staff of assistants,
came in for much commendation for
the able management and the thor
ough success accompanying their eff
forts, and the consensus of opinion
was that they had not only maintained
the Masonic prestige, but that had set
a high standard in public entertain
ments. The public know the Masons
The Masons the public, so what's
the use of painting.

HARRY c. RADCLIFFE, COLORADO
PIONEER, OoEYS THE SUM-
MONS.
Found Dead Last Tuesday Morning in
His Shop.

A MOTHER link in the chain con-
n Meeting old and new Colorado,
snapped last Tuesday morning
when Harry G. Radcliff was discov-
cred dead in chair in his barber
shop at Eighteenth and Larimer
streets. Having passed the biblical
allotment of life, being aged "A years
and l month, his physical endurance
and spirit of contentment strength
ened him in having an appearnce OF
good health, and though at times a
falling of Natures mantle was percep-
tible, yet his indomitable pluck and
courage bore him steadily on, until
bent with the weight of years he had
to sever connection from the chain
which bound him to us. Living in this
state for more than forty years he
was thoroughly conversaht with its
growth, and his conversations of the
development of the west were thrill
ing and interesting. Generous to a
fault he fostered many individuals,
bore the brunt in the upkeep of needy
families, and supported every cause
in an especial manner that meant race
love and race progress. During his
career he was lured by his ambition
to learn, to travel to the Panama Canal
Zone, where, after acquiring a degree
of monetary success and experience,
he left, returning to Denver. Con-
tinuing in the BARRIERS profession he
brought the sartorial art to high
plane in the west, laboring in that
service to his death. A good counsel
lor, faithful religionist and noble citi-
zen he has seen the result of his SOW
ing by having lived to see the bril-
liant characters of his race that he
cared and helped, and now Death
beckons him to a temporary sleep, we
pay honor to his memory as a true
type of manhood that as stood for
something leaving footprints on the
sands of time" Funeral services will
be held tomorrow from the Douglass
Undertaking Chapel, 2745 Welton
street, at 80 p. m, under the aus
pices of Rocky Mountain Lodge No.
of Masons, the deceased having at
tanned many of the high positions in
the order and a staunch member OF
the fraternity. He leaves an only
daughter to mourn his loss. Rev. G.
A. Williams will be the officiating
clergyman and interment will be at
Riverside cemetery. The heartfelt
sympathy of the Colorado Statesman
goes out to the daughter in her be-
reavement, and we can only add that
Harry C. Radcliffe was a practical
supporter of his race, and possessor
of large humanitarian principles.

The membership campaign opened
last Monday, with thirty workers in
the field. They have started out for
two hundred and fifty men, and 1t
was agreed last Sunday that they
would remain on the job until they
had secured the required number.
Printed matter has"been sent to every
colored man in the city, so far as it
has been possible to secure their ad-
dresses. This advertising makes the
work of the canvaser easier. The re-
ports turned in Wednesday evening
showed Coleman in the lead. having
secured II units to Is for Lightner
and 13 for Bell Each of the three
claims that he is going to be in the
lead at the next report on Saturday
evening.
The meeting next Sunday afternoon
will be held at 4 o'clock as usual. The
Rev. j. A. Thomas-Hazell will be the
speaker, his subject being. "The Ne
gro Race in the Light of Biblical His

Home Sweet Home!"-the express
sion of David Strosier after his forty
days trip in the East and Southland
and his return to Denver, the city of
cities, on meeting our reporter. Mr..
Strosier, while not in the best of
health, spoke freely on his rejoicing
that his brother in the South is at
last awakening and is no longer think
ing but acting, as the scenes that con-
fronted him proved beyond doubt
that the time has come when from
his slumber the Negro is aroused and
he must be treated as a full-fledged
American citizen or greater menace
faces our Republic than the European
war. Plantations as far as the eye
can see left unplowed, crops not har-
vested, cattle by the thousands dying,
all for want of the usual Negro labor
the fact of better wages to meet
the advanced cost of living being the
bone of contention coupled with the
continuous ill-treatment of his people,
and now the light has dawned. Those
that can't find the wherewithal for
paying their fares have even resorted
to WALKING AND WALKING until
they arrive at better habitations. "Oh
what a glorious THANKSGIVING and
a happy CHRISTMAS will fill the
hearts of our people when they behold
the glorious freedom by migrating to
other parts of this country" said he.

A GOOD XMAS GIFT.

N Investment in Oil Stocks. 1t
n brings good cheer, as when the
D dividends are declared and you
become the recipient of permanent
income which enables you to live and
that joyously, you can never forget
the giver and the most beautiful rem
iniscences will fill your thoughts. In
the numerous advertisements in this
paper and succeeding issues are to
be seen Oil Companies whose shares
are at very low rates, and wise invest
ors can profit immensely by either
treating themselves or their friends
to a gift that is as strong and sound
as an Egyptian pyramid, therefore a
little diversion from the usual form.
by sending a few shares of some Oil
Stock will be more than appreciated,
and the receiver will find as much
if not more happiness as the giver.

GETTING RID OF RABBITS.

In the State of New York 1t is a
violation of the law to put out poison
bats to kill rabbits. Writing to the
Rural New-Yorker. one farmer Of
that state becomes very indignant
because he is not permitted to kill
rabbits in this manner. II it were
not for the habit of gnawing young
fruit trees, rabbits would immedi-
ately pass into the class of being the
most harmless creatures that live on
the farm. But when It becames nee
essary to kill these otherwise harm
less animals, the states by law should
insist that It be done in humane
manney. To take the life of any
animal by poison bats is very I'M
proper az well as cruel way to do
1t. Dogs are often killed by poison
bats, and this is especially true OF
those that are kept in the city. A
person'who deliberately poisons dogt

deserves very severe punishment.
Those who poison rabbits deserve the
same. Man is super-being COM
pared to dogs and rabbits, but he
often is guilty of committing ten
times over the depredations of these
two kinds of animals. With all his
superiority, II is ten to one that his
life would not be as free from acts
which are charged as depreciation to
these lower animals. This statement
is made simply that the ready who
has not already done so. should put
himself in the other animals place.
II Is annoying to have young trees
gnawed by rabbits. but there are tree
protectors, and other methods of pre-
venting this.

passes a law and then enforces II
