TOWN TOPICS

Cayton's Weekly joins with hundreds Of
others who have known DR.. F. B. Cooper
since he has lived in Seattle, in regretting
that he will leave us for the front" next
Monday Since coming to Seattle he has
identified himself with all of the movements
for the uplift and has been one Of the most
active in pushing them along. He has
built up splendid dental practice, all of
which he will leave to scatter as it will or
may. Like the most Of the successful col
ored men in the West, Dr. Cooper has as
large white as black trade. He will be
member of the medical corps at the front
and in all probability will sail for France
as soon as he reports for duty. A number
of social courtesies have been extended to
him within the past week, which will con-
tinue until the hour Of his departure
At the bimOnthly meeting Of the Nation
al Association for the Advancement Of Col
ored People, which was held nj the Grace
Presbyterian Church last Monday evening,
some forty odd members were present and
considerable routine business was transacted.
President Stone stated in the outset that it
was not only a meeting for the purpose of
the new members getting acquainted with
each other, but to also enlighten the new
members of what the organization was actu-
ally doing for the advancement Of colored
people all over the United States, and to
that end he read at length from the annual
statement issued by the general secretary.
Twenty-seven dollars, the proceeds of ball
given by Mrs. J. A. Vrooman, were turned
over to the treasurer and the organization
by rising vote extended thanks to her.
After the adjournment a magnificent cola
ton which had been prepared and arranged
by the refreshment committee served.
Rev. Barber was one of the new members
and spoke briefly.
l.. II. Hart, lieutenant governor OF the
state. was Seattle visitor last Tuesday
and in the course of conversation with the

that Lecturer Miller is one and the same
person as Kelly Miller, the writer of the
open letter to President Wilson, entitled

nesday evening Mayor Hanson said things
pleased the throngs of colored men and
women who listened to him. Yes, he said
things that, if he as mayor Of Seattle lives
up to will greatly endear him to them.
When first talked of for mayor no one was
more objectional to the colored voters for
that office than Obey Hanson, but he and
one other were nominated and the colored
voters, as they then saw it, choose between
two evils and supported Hanson. He prom
ised to be fair and impartial if elected and
thus far he has kept his word and it is the
hope of every colored person he will so con-
tinue.
Fifty members of the Harmony LODGE A.
F. and M. of Seattle, chartered car and
proceeded to Everett last Sunday to be
present at the annual services Of the Ever
EFT lodge. The Rev. S. J. Collins preached
the annual sermon, which, by all present
was pronounced par excellent. 1t will be
remembered that many Of the Masons of Ev-
erett visited Seattle few weeks ago when
the annual sermon for Harmony was
preached. These are splendid get together
meetings and it is to be regretted that
more of the fraternities do not follow in
the wake of the Masons
Washington Hall was never filled with a
more enthusiastic audience than the one
assembled there last Wednesday evening
to greet Prof. Kelly Miller Mr.. Tut in
troduced the Rev. W. D. Carter as chair
man of the evening, who after brief talk
introduced or presented Mayor Hanson. 1t
fell to the lot Of Andrew r. Black, an at
torney at law, and himself graduate of
Howard University, Of which Prof Miller
is dean, to present the professor to the au-
dlence. Mr.. Blacks remarks were brief,
but interpersed with apt illustration, which
put the audience in happy frame of mind
to receive the speaker of the evening. The
band interspersed the program with splen-
did musical selections.

Despite the fact that Seattle men were
solely responsible for Prof. Kelly Miller's
tour of the Northwest, yet he had less Op-
portunity to meet the general public in Sc
attic than in any other large city of the
Northwest. In Spokane he spoke before the
Chamber of COmemrce at it's regular noon
day lunch and to the general public in the
evening. In Tacoma he spoke to the Cham
ber of Commerce at noon and to the public
in the evening, while here he eonly had an
opportunity to speak in the evening. If at
any place public function aside from his
regular lecture were given for him, it should
have been in Seattle. So far as the commit
tee in charge of the arrangements is con-
cerned it may have been unavoidable, but
it was So which is very regrettable.
There was still another colored delegate
from King county to the Republican State
Convention besides Rev. w. d. Carter in the
person of DR.. David T. Cardwell and, be
it said to his credit, he is one of the most
active Republicans of Seattle. He was more
or less disappointed that more colored men
did not interest themselves in the caucausses
that a larger colored delegation be named
by the county convention to attend the state
convention. At Tacoma the two colOred
delegates stepped just as spry, carried their
heads just as high and looked just as wise
from their allotted seats as the white dele
gates

Savannah, Jan. 3 H e Iverson
has returned to Savannah after a
seventeen months stay in the lands
of Russia. He tells thrilling stories
of the days of the overthrow of Rus

the Republic of Russia. He was in

messed all the events leading up to

ARCTURUS

We are indebted to the Albany Her
aid for this little bit of Information
which it takes from the Vancouver
Sun, far to the north, and nearest to
full Appreciation of the Information
contained:
When you look up on a clear night
you see one star flashing brighter than
the rest in the northern sky In a
sky powdered with stars, Areturus is
conspicuous by his size. Arcturus
was of the stars meitioned on the first
treatise on astronomy, The earliest
star maps featured him. To the hui
man eye he has never moved in the
sky; lie is what we call a fixed star
He was one Of the early planets nav
igators steered by when they adven-
tured out CT sight of land The first
human wanderers on land used him
as a guiding star, The first men on
the. earth crept from their, caves on
clear nights to worship Arcturus. To
us he looks the same as he did to them.
II is of interest to reflect, however,
that fartlashing Arcturus, back from
the beginning through Unreasonable
time to the present day has been trav-
