BENEFIT sMokELEss SMOKER
AND MUSICAL A BIG HIT AT
FERN HALL LAST WEEK.

The Hi-Y Club staged one of the
best entertainments ever seen in Fern
hall in many day. Too much credit
cannot be given the boys for the live
wire pragram they furnished, keeuing
most of the crowd on their toes most
all the evening. Some of our good
white sporting friends said it had the
Stockyard shows beat mile.
All of the bouts were Interesting
and the willingness of those in the
contests to mix with each other was
the thing that made the hit with the
crowd Some of the boys showed that
they were well versed in the art of
self-defense and could take care of
themselves very well in an emergency
The aSpirants for the Junior basket
ball title of the city were presented
to the audience at the close of, the
regular program and we must say they
looked very neat in their uniforms,
and looked like real champions. Keep
up the good work.
In the boxing contests Alvin Rivers
won with n technical knockout-the
only one of the evening-from Chester
Steele; Wade Waller and Elwood Col
lins fought to draw as did Frank
Watkins and Ulysses Smith Donald
Brown and John Tracy; Reuben Ceph-
us and Joe Kigh; Joseph Miller and
Paul Hicks; and the midgets Hofford
Hackley and Walter Marshall. In the
wrestling match George Lee pinned
Charles Clark's shoulders to the mat
twice for a clean victory. The main
attraction of the evening was the eX-
hibition bout staged by Irish Cohen
and Warren Williams of Denver Uni
versity, two heavyweights. Mr.. Town
end acted as referee, DR.. Holmes and
Huff, judges, Bob Davis, timekeeper,
and Ulysses Andrews, announcer.
1t is the plan of the Hi-Y Club to
buy sweaters for the basketball team
with the proceeds taken in.

MR.. AND MRS. ROBERT RUSS EN-
TERTAIN FOR DISTINGUISHED
AFRICAN PRINCE.

PRINCE WYXZEZIIXARD S. j.
OUGHLEZfhCZISE of the roy
al house of ETHIOPIA and bishop of the
Reformed COptic Church of East At
rica, who has been in the city the past
week and created such profound i'm
preston by his scholarly addresses be-
fore both white and colored audiences,
was the guest of honor at a reception
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Russ at
their beautiful suburban home last
Sunday afternoon from 2 until D
o'clock. Many prominent social lead
ers, business and professional men and
women called, notably among whom
was Nine. Patti Brown and her ac-
companist, Mrs. Doxey.
The PRINCE was a most-intereSting
and congenial guest and seemed never
to tire of the volley of questions put
to him by those eager to learn of the
habits, state of civilization and prog
ress of the inhabitants of Africa. He
is Il much Travelled man and manifestly
a close student of customs and various
conditions in the different countries
he has visited.
1t was a profitable afternoon and
Mr.. and Mrs. Russ are to be compli-
mented for giving Denver folk an op-
portunity to come into social contact
with such noted Race leader, scholar
and diplomat.

DEATH OF MRS ELIZA plsHmAN
Noted Woman in Business, Club,
Church and Social Life of Denver
Passes Away After Long Illness.

Mrs. Eliza Dishman, wife of Octave
Dishman, one of Denver's pioneer citi-
zens, passed away Monday noon at the
family home at 2439 Gilpin street, af-
ter an illness extending over year
The end was most peaceful and Mrs
Dishman entered into eternal rest with
the same calm and sweetly smile that
characterized her all through life. With
her at the last was her faithful sister,
Mrs. Young, and Madame DeNeal,
tered to her wants through the long
months of her illness In the death
of Mrs. Dishman Denver indeed loses
one of her truly womanly characters.
Not only was she a woman of rare
talent and culture that carried her well
through every avenue of life, but she
possessed that sublimist of all human
blessings, the aptitude of acquiring
and holding friends. No woman val
ued friends more, none looked with
greater charity upon their faults nor
treasured their virtues more sacredly.
Mrs. Dishman's executive ability
was amply demonstrated five years ago
when as head of the committee in
charge of he National Federation of
Woman's Clubs convention every de-
tail was carried out without hrtch,
and every item of expense cared for
with neat surplus instead of the
usual deficit following such affairs.
1t was perhaps in the musical world
that her talents shone the more
brightly. In this she was generosity
itself and hardly church choir in the
city or musical club but what has
called upon and received the benefits
of her wisdom and counsels. She
leaves to mourn her loss a loving, sor
rowing husband and brother in Den
yer, many relatives in the east and
of the country. OF these none were
more so than Madame DeNeale, busi-
ness associate and lifelong friend, who
came to Denver some months ago and
remained with patience and loving de-
votion at the bedside of Mrs. Dishman
until the end.
The COLORADO STATESMAN joins
in earnest sympathy to the bereaved
ones.
Funeral services were held from the
Church of the Holy Redeemer Thurs
day morning, Father II. f. Rahming
officiating. The large and beautiful
floral offerings from friends and nu-
merous organizations gave ample tes-
timoRy of the love and esteem in which
Mrs. Dishman was held by all who
knew her.

were prowling around the

could find you some pigs feet"

I asked. Its too hot for pigs

Bunny thought this was good

So we trudged along and I re.

and kept on the lookout for any

Bunny, as usual, bounded
ahead of us and after returning
from one of his excursions off

lean down.
I did and he whispered in my
ear:
Now, II you ever walked quiet

I'll show you a sight worth re-

people ever see. I've found their

Among the guests came Rose

time he had seen her since the
night Of her birthday dance. he
had rather avoided her. Once or
twice he had caught himself Won
dering what she thought ABOUT
his engagement. He had all out
forgotten the episode OF the KISS
but the feeling remained that IN
til Marjorie had come along to
bewitch him with her gypsy
beauty, Rosemary had been his
closest girl friend.
He was unconsciously relieved
when she greeted him with her
old friendly manner. and delighted
when she shook Marjorie's two
hands warmly. Later he observed
his brother Harry with her a
good part Of the evening. and this
seemed to lift the last shadow Of
obligation from his shoulders.
Invitations Declined.
But as he had foreseen, the
dance was not success. After
the first hour, during which Mar
torie enjoyed the effect her pink
satin "ball" gown had produced
upon the girls Of the valley, she
grew FESTIVE and bored. She
liked to dance and Philip was a
poor dancer; other men were shy
about asking her, and she spent
most Of the evening talking to
older people, who asked polite
questions with fixed smiles upon
their faces, cycling the pink bow
on her black, bobbed hair, the
1.-the round neck, brown bare arms,
small daintily slippered feet, and
the details Of her pink satin
costume. Harry, with whom
Marjorie would have liked to
dance more, was in attendance
upon Rosemary, and Marjorie hurt
Philips feelings by asking him,
who the little "stuck-up country
pumpkin was. He informed her
with a good deal of stiffness
that Rosemary was an old and
close friend, but at this Marjorie
threw terror into his heart by
declaring her intention to return
to San Francisco in the morning.
But the next day he prevailed
upon her to stay. They agreed

the depth of her feeling. The
child disappeared Immediately
after dessert, but Philip did not
miss her until his mother whis-
pered to him later in the even

Lucy" He found her in her
room, her small face blotched
with red from angry tears, her
dress creased and rumpled, her
hair a tumbled mass. What
slight impatience he had felt to-

at once gave place to deep con-

tried to comfort her, but she
