VALAUREZ B. SPRATIN 3. A.,
LEAVES DENVER FOR POSITION
ON FACULTY OF coLoRED IN
STITUTE, WEST VIRGINIA.

A Denverite born and bred, with n
most remarkable scholastic career, our
own Denver product and young friend,
Valaurez b. Spratlin, son of DIR. and
Mrs. Paul Il. Spratlin prominent resi-
dents of several years in the city, left
his home last Monday, August 25th TO
take up position with the faculty of
the Bluefields State Colored Institute.
Bluefields, w. Va. as tutor in the
French and Spanish languages and the
divine art of music. Mr.. Spratlin's
career needs no elaborate commenda-
ton from us in Denver, as we have
followed him from infancy, through
youth to manhood, but for the benefit
of residents of recent years as well as
expressing our appreciation for Vir-
ginia's gain. we give in brief sketch
of his career. Born in Denver, educat-
ed first in the public schools (graded)
then the East Denver High School,
where at the end of his four-year term
he won a scholarship which placed
him in the Denver University, where
he scored class honors, and graduated
last June with the degree Bachelor of
Arts. For maintaining high scholar
ship during his university career he
was elected a member of the Greek
Letter Society, also to the fraternity
of Romance Languages. He was the
pipe organist and pianist of the Chapel
and class and gave the best services
at all times and under all circum-
stances. He is one of the leading
musicians of Denver and is leaving a
large class of pupils who sincerely re-
gret his departure. He leaves us with
every good wish for very successful
career as his genial disposition, true
gentlemanly qualities, and special edu-
cational attainments will commend him
TO his associates, TO the trustees, and
principal of the institute, and we join
all Denver in wishing our young, rep
resentative and highly esteemed mem
Der of our community, Gods speed and
Heavens richest blessings for a bril-
| liant future

HIGHLY WITH DENVER CRIT
IcAL AUDIENCE.

A very appreciative audience had
the pleasurable opportunity of listen
ing to Miss Frances Galloway, Bache-
lor of Music, Chicago Musical College,
last Thursday evening at the Scott NJ.
f. Church, and so pleased were they
with her rendition that already an
invitation has been extended to her
to return during next spring. Her
technique is in the order of the real
artist, and her left hand work is spe-
cially attractive and captivating. Her
Interpretation of the masters was Civ
en- with the ability of a genius and
the expressions were very effective.
The variety of her program shows that
this young artist is conversant with
the requirements of present day musi-
cal patrons, and therefore quite treat
was served when compositions, the
most difficult, from List, Chopin, Mo-
zart, Rubenstein, Schubert, greeted the
ear and satisfied the taste of the crit
ical auditors. Miss Galloway gave re-
citals in Pueblo and Colorado Springs
also, and received the highest COM
mendation, playing to very large audi
ences. After few weeks rest she
will tour the large eastern cities where
we know she will be successful in rep
resenting the divine art from the Mid
die West

THE DEARFIELD COLONY.

The DearfieId coIonists will soon be
rewarded for their self-denyine actions
and their sacrificial efforts by perma-
nent and extensive advertisement of
their progress of few years. This will
be the means of outsiders becoming
conversant with the facts pertaining to
the Colony, and intending investors
will have an opportunity Of getting
first-hand information as to the won-
derful possibilities and the great sue
cess to be achieved from a little brain,
a little Drawn, helping hand, all
working in harmony for a permanent

visiting Denver, would do we'll to take
a trip up at this time and see the won-
derful production of the earth under
the guidance of the skilled hand of the
farmer. The fare is cheap, there being
two entrances to the colony and two
branches of the Government railroad

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

A committee of earnest workers met
last week to consider plans looking
towards the beginning of the religious
work for the fall. 1t was deemed
necessary that the plans should be
made as early as possible so as to
enable the committee to get them well
under way in time to make the work
success.
Letters received from our chairman,
Mr.. l.. III. Lightner, from time to time
indicate that he is having "A profitable
trip through the far East. He is eX-
pected to return in about ten days.
The first Fall meeting of the Com
mittee of Management will be held
next Wednesday evening at Z :45
o'clock. 1t is hoped that every mem
ber will be present.
News comes to us that Mr.. Parks,
our committeeman who has been in
"Y' work overseas, is in the States,
and is expected home within few
days. We shall be glad TO welcome
him.
Plans are now being made for the
beginning of the work of the "Hi-Y"
club, which will open shortly after the
beginning of the school session.
The members of the croquet club
have begun IA tournament to decide
the championship of the club for the
present season. The contest was be-
gun early this week, and up to now
about twenty of the thirty-three games
have been played. 1t is altogether too
early in the stage of the contest to
determine who shall win. We hope
however to be able to publish the re-
port of the singels in the Notes next
week. Great interest is being dis
played by the members and the friends
of the game, large numbers coming out
each evening to watch the games
which usually begin about five-thirty
o'clock.

OUR BOYS IN BASEBALLDoM.

Bolden Brothers came back and We
scribe was fOrcibly reminded of the
old theme-"the cat came back" when
they were victorious over the hardy
White Elephants in the score of to
6, last Sunday. Unfortunately a series
of arguments over umpire's decisions
on both sides delayed the game and
interfered with the public interest, and
our baseball players and enthusiasts
must learn to be GOOD LOSERS as
well as winners. We hope there will
not be a recurrence of this action that
disgusts and which will surely inter
fere with public support for next sea-
son if it continues.

Dear Sir:
After spending two very pleasant
weeks in your beautiful hOme-like city,
/ cannot help from endorsing the gen
eral opinion that everything that hap
piness calls for, also opportunity for
efficient service is to be found in Den
yer, and it is very probable that / may
give you turn again within a short
time. After carefully reviewing the
Colorado Statesman, a broad, consery-
ative, newsy organ for the people, |
am convinced that the Western peo-
pie are in touch with everything of in
terest pertaining to the country, its
people and times, and can offer sound
advice and suggestions on how to ad-
just the troublesome period we are
passing through, as well as measuring
up to the problems that now confront
us. / found things in Chicago back
to normal and the unfortunate Incl
dent among the races has resulted in
a combined action to blot out lawleSs-
ness from Chicago and the State of
Illinois, by adopting the motto of 1.-The
ounce of prevention" Wishing for you
and yours more of success and that the
PEOPLES PAPER may have many
years more of usefulness and service
to our United States.
