What the Cudahy Packing Company of Omaha is doing in securing and as sisting Colored laborers should be a particular interest to the readers of The Monitor. Many firms around Omaha are in need of labor and arc willing to use Colored labor, but Cud ahy is the only firm that has so fai shown a disposition to trust the southern laborer and to help him to leave the south if he wants to come. This firm is now advancing hundreds of dollars for fares of men whom they have never seen simply upon the assurances of The Monitor. To its southern Colored help this firm al ready advanced money to bring their wives and children from the south and advanced it upon the men’s words. How does this appeal to you as business confidence and business philanthropy? We believe that there is but one j way that our people can show their j real appreciation of this kindness upon the part of Cudahy and Company and that is by their demand for Cud ahy products at all times. When a f;rm is willing to place faith in out people we should be willing to place faith in them. Let us do it. ST. JOHN’S A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES The revival meetings will continue this week.

Having recently opened a studio, I solicit your patronage, and with your help, I hope in time to make this a school of music on as large a scale as possible. 1 have arranged a course in Piano forte for children from the age oi eight to fifteen years inclusive. Special prices are offered for chil dren of this age, in which they will be given one private lesson a week for one half hour, and one class les son, which will last one hour. This class lesson is given to teach the Pianoforte pupils notation, rhythm, ear training, hand culture, transposition, etc. There will be a class demonstra tion, and recital by the pupils ol these classes every six weeks, which will be open to the parents of the pupils and their friends. These classes will be arranged into first, second and third grades, ac cording to the musical knowledge ol the pupil. The price oi a lesson in this course will be, Seventy-five cents for one half hour private lesson, including one class lesson a week. Having had the experience of teaching in the Normal Department of The New England Conservatory of Music during my Junior and Sen ior year, I hope to make this course quite a success, realizing that suc cess depends on tve progress of the pupil.
