SATURDAY JAN 9, 1904. T h e Rancher’s New Yea.rV

Hold Memorial Services

^ FEW days before New Year's preparations are begun for the AwM big dance which inaugurates ^ ^ the season’s festivities. The ranch where the ball, or “fandango, is to be held is literally given over to the boys for the occasion, and they never fail to make the most of it. Invitations are sent out over the neighborhood within a radius of twenty miles, and nearly every one is accepted, for a ride of twenty miles to one accustomed to spending ten or twelve hours a day in the saddle is a mere nothing. Resides, this is the one opportunity of the year to speed money lavishly for the sake of a good time. An extra <-ook or two are hired and supplies enough laid in to feed a small army. It is the privilege of every cowboy on the place to make out a list of the eatables that he feels that his constitution demands, and several days beforehand the great wagon is hitched up and a trip taken to the nearest town to get provisions. As for the fandango, the preparations are few and simple. Beds and other space consuming pieces of furniture are removed from the rooms Intended for the dance. The Ijare floors are sand scoured and flecked with flue shavings of sperm <*andles, which soon, under the many gliding feet of the dancers, form a thin, slick coating, delightful and seductive to the feet. On two sides of the room, close up against the wall, a row of chairs is set for the accommodation of those not dancing. By G o’clock in the evening the guests begin to arrive, the boys having gone after the girls, on horseback generally, some of the “tony” couples comiug in buggies, the high seated “piano boxed’' vehicles of the west, with their general air of smartness. The girls have their party dresses tucked up under their black calico riding skirts, some of them bringing waists, gloves and white kid slippers done up in a bundle to be put on after they arrive. And a merry hearted, merry faced lot they are—cheeks glowing and eyes sparkling from the exhilaration of the ride in the wind and the expectation of the unwonted frolic. The music is furnished by negro fiddlers, whose repertory of old fashioned “breakdowns” is never improved upon and never falls ^hor*. of its early charm and infection upon its hearers. There is almost no distinction of classes or social grades in' the west. Years ago, in the formative time of cattle ranching, the cowboy was a sui generis. His father and grandfather were cowboys, “day wranglers,” “night hawks” and “cow punchers.” His language was “bloody” and his figure and mind uncouth. Today he may be a graduate of an eastern college, a theological student or the younger son of an English lord. Bad health, bad habits, the love of adventure or a thirst for gold may drive or drift him to the west. The western woman or “gal” is more typical. She may be the “boss’ ” daughter, educated “on east,” the “renter’s” daughter, with only a smattering of education from the free school, or the “hired girl.” plucky, independent and “good as her betters.” In the same “set” there may be one man with a “store” suit on. another in his regular suit, consisting of blue flannel overshirt and leather belt, buckskin leggings or cottonade overalls. These holiday dances last all night, ♦heir only breakfast being at 10 o’clock, when eggnog is served, and at 12, when the big supper is eaten. Then with renewed vigor and spirits they return to the floor. The fires burn low in the great chimneys. the kerosene lamps flicker and smoke, the fiddlers doze and play on mechanically, the girls languish; even the cowboy himself feels the force and strain of protracted time measured motion. But the dance goes ou.—Boston

Clarence Davis, colored, of New Al* banv. was a victim of the horrible dis aster in the Iroquois Theater. Chicago Dec. 30.

Memorial services in memory of (be Walden University fire, weie held a* Simpson Chapel, Qec. 27. The follow ing committee was in charge: E. P. Blakemore, an alumnus of the school; Porter W, Corley, A. C. Bybee Messrs. Cook and Fletcher. The following resolutions were adopted: In view of the tact**, that, whereas, on the 18th of Dec. 190*; the Lord our God, saw fit to. as in many and ali times and all cases, press the electric button that caused death to steal upon seven students of our welt-boown school, Walden University, Jas a result of the panic stricken females, who were trying to escape the heedless flames of fire, which were uot only attempting to consume Rust Hall— the dormitory (or girls—but even the

retidenrs therein.

Ami whereas:-Walden University (Central Tennessee college ) founded 1866, just after the great volume of smoke from battle field had cleared away, the old veteransot'Methodism stepped in among their enemies ot the South, fighting against fate and the sins of that section of the country; attempted and did eitablish there a school, now known as Walden Univer sity, which has sent forth men and women of our race, who are actively engaged in shaping the lives of many of our people, for better citizenship. And whereif:-This incident of Doc, | day 18, is one of shocking temperment, such as never before cited in the his

tory of the school. %

Wbereas:-We not only mourn over the deaths sad the sad fate, to the injured, but we bow in stacereness for the consoling power, to the souls of the many psrents or guardians of the victims;* andj for the comfort of those of the faculty and all those connected with the Instituticn. acd to the president ot the University, who has undergone such a strain. May the smiles of sunshine be over him, council him so that he may be able to continue the good work he is now engaged. Be it eesolvedt-ThatJwe as a body of Methodists, and a band of ebristiens bow in solemnity and in sincerely to God, and manifesting such, by using this, an hour of memorial, in praying and singing for the blessedness and the sunlight of thy countenance, into the hearts and souls of the bereaved ones of the dead of that institution, and the consoliag power with those injured and their friends and rclativo and for an especial kindness to President Hamilton and Miss Moore, the Desconess and preceptress of Young Ladies Dormitory, who left her home to take up mission work there.”

To the Editor of The Recorder-— I was present at Allen Chapel, Indianapolis, on New Year’s eve, wb»-n the pastor Rev. H. E. Stewart, had a roll-call to ascertain the real membership of the church, ana I was very mudb surprised to find that in that splendid church, with so many intelligent members, former pastors had such unbusinesslike metheds. No one knew the exact membership of the church, there was iMcorrect register ot names--some had left the city, others had tranafered and some had died. Women had married and tbe records failed to showGt. The church discipline directs each pastor to record all persons who joia She church, all births, deaths marriag e* and baptisms. Then it is a good ru<e to call tbe roll each month. If this is do*e, the pastor can keep in touch with his people co*rrect kisroll and assign all members to classes and leaders. At the Allen Ghapel rollcall it was|discovered that 2.50 members be longed to no class and had no leader. It is a fact that cannot be successfully disputed, that the average Negro preacher is too careless in bis methods and is a very poor business man— hence the many failures. Rev. K. E. Stewart is a business like pastor. He wants to get his forces well in hand before he begins his campaign. I write this letter because there are other churches in Indiana that need to nave their rolls called and their business put in proper form. “Seestb thou a man diligent in his business, be shall stand before Kings He shalrnot stand before mean men” OHA9.

One of the most brilliant receptions on New Year’s dsy, was that given at the Y. M. C. A. on Indiana avenue. The decorations were of evergreens, and the exhibit of beautiful and expensive calenders—something new as well as unique—was a success. Re freshments were served bj the Ladies Auxiliary, assisted by Mrs. W. A. Kersey and S. Yopp. Over 200 persons attended and they were shown shown through the various departments of the Association.
