ANNIVERSARY.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Wimms, old resi-
dents of Denver, celebrated their for
ty-fourth wedding anniversary last
Sunday by inviting just few of their
friends to partake of a ha dsomely
appointed dinner. AS ulinary

and no superiors. The menu Offered
consisted of all those palatable viands
calculated to tickle the palate and
satisfy the longings of the most fas-
tidious epicure. Those who partook
of the hospitality of the host and hos
tess were: Rev. A. c. Williams, Rev.

Mrs. David Turner, d. Letcher and
wife, Mrs. Harry Polk, Mrs. e. T.
Price, F. d. Mcpherson and wife, Roy

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The boys work committee, which
met last Saturday evening, consid-
cred some matters which Will re-
dound greatly to the welfare of that
department of our work and the eff1-
cheney of the branch. A thorough re-
organization of the work of the de-
partment is planned, and will soon be
carried through, especially the ath-
letic department.
Weather conditions spoiled an
otherwise splendid and attractive pro-
gram last Sunday afternoon, the oc-
casion being the first annual celebra-
ton of Lincoln and Douglass by the
association. The addresses were OF
very high order, and remarkably
well rendered. Mr.. Thomas Camp
bell spoke on the subject, zone Hun
dred Years Ago. pointing out the
fact that at that time the Negro in
this country was not only slave, but
it was a crime to teach him to read
and write; and even if he escaped in
to a free state, he could, if caught,
be returned to his master. Fred
erick Douglas" was the subject of a
very interesting paper by DIR. West
brook, in which he pointed out the
fact that no one was ever born whose
outlook seemed darker and whose fu-
ture seemed more hopeless, but few
ever rose to higher fame. The ora
ton of Mr.. George w. Gross on "Abra-
ham Lincoln was in keeping with his
reputation as an orator. He said that
Lincoln not only proved the hope OF
the Negro and of the nation, but he
has also been enshrined in the hearts
of mankind everywhere; for even in
the European trenches today men of
all nations were praying to God that
a second Lincoln might arise to lead
them out of distress and sorrow.
Miss Nelsine Howard read Longfel-
lows "Slave In the Dismal Swamp"
while Mrs. Florence Smith recited
Walt Whitman's tragic poem, 30
Captain, My Captain!" accompanied
by Miss Dimple Gatewood. Old time
slave songs were rendered by a
mixed quartet; also Mr.: Yacob Reid
sang, accompanied by Mrs. De F'rantz.
A beautiful flag professional by four
young boys elected great applause.
The Revs. Ward, Reynolds and Saw
yer also participated, and Mr.. L. H.
Lightner presided.
Instead of the meeting next Sunday
afternoon, the Y NJ and the Y. w. G.
A., will join the churches and other
organizations in the great mass meet
ing to be held in the afternoon at the

scHoLTz DRUG COMPANY.

The main store and central office
of the Scholtz Drug Co., situated at
the corner of Sixteenth and Curtis
streets, are open to the public once
more in a new attire on the first floor
of the America Theater building.
Fresh drugs, the latest toilet articles,
stationery of the finest manufacture,
and a soda fountain of the latest de-
sign Denver made) with fixtures al
so local, present a spectacle that can
not help to magnetic the attention
of the passer-by. This firm, one of
the oldest in business in our city,
needs no introduction, as their testi-
goods they offer for sale. The heads,
Messrs. E. l.. and w. E. Scholtz, who
have been with the business since its
inception, and have labored hard to
bring it to it's present standard, will
be well repaid for their efforts by the
cheerful response of the public, who
have heartily supported them all
these years, and who, in giving them
credit for being among the real build,
ers of the city of Denver, will increase
their patronage so as to further in
sure the stability of the drug business
in the West and a perpetual memory
of the Scholtz Drug Company.

NURSERY at 1857 Clarkson street on
Thursday last and to our pleasurable
and agreeable surprise saw fourteen
tots under the capable and motherly
guidance of Mrs. Clara Franklin, ma

greater effort, nor better meritorious
service, than lending a helping hand
to this most worthy cause, and our
ministers of religion, advocates of
race pride, sisters of mercy can find
some little corner in this institution
for serviceable action. The Colorado

ture among our people and hopes a
large and substantial backing from the
entire members of our race, who will
be served sooner or later by this nee
sary and valuable addition to our in
stitutions in Denver.

full of vanity, was too poor TO par

his foible and inclined to rally him,
one day said:

Sire" said the man, drawing the
bullet from his fob, "my watch marks
neither five nor six o'clock; but tells
me every moment that it is my duty to
die for your majesty
The king was much affected. Here,
my man," ssdd he, take this watch of
mine. that you may be able to tell the
