CITY OFFICERS BLUNDER

A short time ago part of the purity
squad on Denver's police force, either
through dense ignorance or as means
of wilful aggression, presumed to fol-
low I'D an anonymous "tip" and pro-
ceeded to annoy Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
F. Holmes, Sr., 2139 Curtis street, two
of the most worthy citizens and mem
bers of our race to be found in Den
yer.
The standing of Mr.. and Mrs.
Holmes in the community is of such
high merit that no possible excuse can
he offered for such blunder and the
natural presumption is that political
iobbery was back of the move. There
should be no hesitancy on the part OF
self-respecting Negro citizens In re-
senting any such insult to our group
even though it may come from the city
hall. for if the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Holmes may be entered with
impunity and upon faxed letters of
anonymous import, then no Negro in
Denver is safe.

Henry J. Brown passed away after an
illness of twelve years, at his late res
idence, 213S Lafayette street. The

coTERIE CLUB ENTERTAINs

A MUSICAL tea of beautiful ap-
pointments was given at the residence
of Mrs. L. H. Lightner, 1884 Marion
street, last Saturday afternoon by the
Coterie Club, to which fifty ladies re-
sponded. All club members and many
invited guests gave quotations. The
musical program rendered was OF rich
variety and afforded an afternoon of
delightful entertainment. The beauti-
full Lightner home was decorated in
club colors and the color scheme was
carried out in the refreshments
served.
Many smart gowns were in evidence,
giving the occasion a distinctive soci-
ETY. air.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

'"The Hyenas" is the latest group of
Pioneers to be organized. They are
the boys of the Mount Pleasant Bap-
tist church. The club at present is
composed of twelve members, all
bright and lively fellows, meeting on
Wednesday afternoons at o'clock.
They will meet the Campbell Giants
in game of baseball on the play
Ogden street this (Saturday) after
noon at 4 o'clock.
'Have you seen the new Y. NJ. G. A.
buildingp This is a question which
nearly every person asks another if
he stops to talk with him for two
minutes. Honestly, though, it is a
beauty, and is going up very rapidly.
And for this very reason we wish to
sound a warning just here. There are
many who doubtless feel that the fact
that the building is going up very rap
idly is an indication that their sub
scription which is still unpaid is not
needed. There was never such a mis-
take. And we further take the public
into our confidence by saying that
those pledges were never more needed
than now. The simple truth is that
the building is now needing every dol
lar that can be gotten. Those who
are delaying the paying of their
pledges may seriously handicap the
work by further Withholding the pay
ment of their pledges. Don't wait for
someone to "come by and see you"
Call by the office and pay up, or pay
something on it.

HELEN TAYLOR AT ESTES PARK

True to the prediction made by the
COLORADO STATESMAN last week,
Miss Helen Taylor as representative
of the Race more than made good be-
fore the Y. NJ. G. A. student confer
