CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE
TO GIVE VIOLIN RECITAL
The people of Omaha are soon to
have the privilege of hearing Clar
ence Cameron White, the famous vio
•-r'—■—-——■-1
linist and composer, of Boston, Mass.
Mr. White ranks high in the musical
world and wherever he gives a re
cital he is greeted by large and en
thusiastic audiences. He will give a
recital Monday, October 30th, in the
Auditorium of Grove M. E. Church,
under the auspices and for the bene
fit of the Church of St. Philip the
Deacon.
This will be Mr. W’hite’s first ap
pearance in Omaha and a good au
dience will greet him. Several peo
ple have engaged tickets for friends
whom they will have as their guests
at this, the musical event of the
season.

reached the reviewing platform. Our
boys finished the song and then, turn
ing and facing the President, they
played “The Patriotic Melody,” as ar
ranged by their leader, Mr. Desdunes.
The President removed his silk hat,
extended the palm of his left hand,
and beat time upon it with his hat as
the boys played. The crowd went wild.
It was a proud moment for our boys!
These may seem little things, but
the little things in life are the things
that count. They suggest that per
haps the world is not so dark after
all. Merit wins out some way, and
genius will tear down the walls of
prejudice and use the remnants to
keep her fires. Omaha and Nebraska
and the West are ours to help build, to
help keep, and to love. Sometime the
way may seem dark, but it sometimes
looks dark to all, both white and
black together. All we need to re
member is the sum and substance of
all human philisophy: Work, Wait
and Hope.

NOT long ago Harry Leon Wilson, the novelist, and
Charles E. Van Loan, the short story writer, were mak
ing a trip together on a western road. Wilson, who
looks more like a rancher in comfortable circumstances than a
literary man. fell into conversation with a hay grower from
the coast, and they spent some time discussing crops and con
ditions. Presently Wilson had occasion to go into the sleeper,
leaving Van Loan and the hay grower in the smoker.
“That’s a mighty sensible talkin' feller,” said the man from
the coast to Von Loan, Indicating the vanishing figure of Wil
son. “Wbut does he do fur a livin’?”
“He’s a writer,” said Van Loan.
“He's a which?”
"He’s a writer,” repeated Van Loan. “He writes books,
novels, stories."

AMONG RAILROAD MEN
By J. William Shields
—
It is pleasing to note that the Col
ored waiters are coming more in de
mand every day. The famous Mut
tonough hotel of Portland, which has
been closed for several months, will
be opened shortly with an entire Col
ored crew. This hotel was formerly
conducted with all white help. The
San Francisco clubs and cafes are also
opening up to Colored boys. Also
the hotels and cafes in Kansas City
will soon be run with Colored help.
These boys should make good, as they
stand at the head of that profession.
W. E. Anderson, of Portland, the
popular townsman and well known lit
erary man, is now in charge of cafe
ar on the Oregon Electric road from
Portland to Eugene, Oregon, and is
much thought of by his superior of
ficers for his strict business tact.
W. H. Whitener is on the president’s
private car of the North Bank road
out of Portland. Lewis Hatch, thr
famous swingman from Pocatello.
Idaho, to Pendleton, Oregon, paid a
visit to Portland recently and burnt
up $80 in gasoline. Some sport.
Nothing else.
Among the guests at the famous
Golden West hotel, Portland, were:
R. E. Watkins, Chicago; S. E. Bux
ton, Seattle; E. V. Galloway, Seattle;
H. B. Moore, San Francisco, and Sea
bron Miller, of Denver, Colo.
Clarence Smith of Omaha is now
running on the O. W. from Portland
to Seattle in the dining car service.
Robert B. Scott, one of the old men
in the Union Pacific dining car serv
ice, is running from Omaha to Los
Angeles.
The popular steward, Mr. W. H.
Smith, of car 363, has won many
friends by his kind and genial dispo
sition from the travelling public and
is much thought of by an appreciative
crew.
The sooner that some of the would
be stewards of the U. P. learn that it
is not the proper thing to unload a
waiter en route, as they call it, the
better it will be for all concerned.
However, it will prevent many black
eyes and smashed faces. .
Mr. F. W. Smith, of Denver, one
of the U. P. popular stewards, is now
running to Los Angeles, Cal.
William Robertson is very much
pleased with the run from Omaha to
Los Angeles, as his home is in the
latter place.
We regret to learn that the red
caps have been removed from the
Union station, Omaha, and white boys
filling their places as heretofore.
FORMER HARVARD STARS
TO DEFEND ACCUSED MAN
Camden, N. J.—William H. Lewis
and William Clarence Matthews, both
former football stars at Harvard Uni
versity and later assistant United
District Attorneys at Boston, have
been engaged to defend George E.
Thompson, alias McCormick, who is
in jail here for alleged participation
in the killing of a keeper and the
wounding of another at jail, when
they effected an escape.
CLEVELAND’S FIRST COLORED
MAIL CARRIER DEAD
Cleveland, 0.—John W. Stanley, one

years. He was the first letter car
