TALENTi Yes, talent we say and
have always said, is right here in Den
YER, only if our people would resolve
to maintain same, by engaging a little
sacrifice and having more pride in
themselves and their ability to do
things. 1.-THE Modern Girls of '76'' did
justice to our thoughts about the Den
yer youths, when a number of our
young matrOns and spinsters presented
at Fern hall last Wednesday evening,
''Decembers May" in character. About
fourteen of our young people, assisted
by Prof. Geo. AIorrison's Orchestra,
with a good stage-setting and pleasing
scenery, delighted the capacity house,
the audience from their applause and
general remarks expressing entire sat
iSfaction. For amateurs we compare
them very favorably with some foreign
talent that we have paid high prices

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD.
(By Geo. r. Brushwood.)

Over eighty persons assembled last
Tuesday evening in the meeting rooms
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association in response TO an invita-
tion for heart-tO-heart talk on the inn
pressions made from the recent visit
of the Hon. James d. Brooks of New
York, General of the above
association.
1t has been Il long time that such Il
spirit for united action and desire
for organized efforts have been dis
played among our people in this city,
and mt the close of the meeting the
prevailing sentiment resolved itself to
an anxiety to band ourselves in one
common brotherhood to win recogni-
tion from the other peoples and races
of the world.
Youth and old age co-mingled, and
the freedom in which they gave vent
to their expressions of cheer, good will
and encoura cement to their own cause
furnished proof that the present eco
nomic conditions were forcing the get
together spirit among our people, and
they are determined to work out their
own salvation.
Inspiring talks from men and women
who We're the victims of prejudice ana
determinations brought forth an uni
son of action, and emphatic statements
We're made that we do not intend to be
parasites, but throwing ourselves on
the strength of Almighty God and the
help of ourselves, we will go forward
to maintain righteous cause.
Members re-dedicated themselves to
the cause of the Redemption of Africa,
and one member filled his application
blank for transportation to Monrovia,
Liberia.
Next meeting will be held April 9th,
when we hope to entertain twice our
numbers Invitation cordially extend
