Moten of Tucson, Arizona, in Oakland Sun Shine. "Is the Negro as a Race, Doing the Pos-ma-la?" VOL. XI. Some three years ago, while in conversation with a prominent colored gentleman of Oakland, Cal., I was surprised to hear him say: "The Negro as a race is doing the Pos-ma-la," and as he spoke this, he crouched himself in a contorted position, and by a sort of backward sortie, quite unknown in the science of calisthenics, he proceeded to illustrate. The ever viobrating sound of that expression, has constantly goared me, because existing evidence proves the assertion to be untrue. It takes but one glance behind us to bring positive proof that the Negro, both as an individual and as a race is not retrogressing but progressing—Progressing at a pace so hitherto unknown to a people, that the civilized world hesitates not to marvel. From an intelligent standpoint of view the assertion needs no consideration, but from the financial status, whereas the Negro of fifty years ago had nothing, nor knew anything save obedience and servitude, many of them are to-day in ownership, as a genius and in the intellectual sphere, a compeer to the Caucasian on any plane in life. There are but few trades known to man in which the Negro race has not a representative co-worker. Aside from treading these avenues of life, corporations are being formed by them and successfully operated under a corporate partnership. Drugs seems to be the leading business under this head. Drug stores at present are being successfully run by him in New York, Boston. Richmond, Va., Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and many other places. Saving banks are established and maintained by the monies of the Negro in fully as many cities as above named. Street car lines are owed and operated by him in Jacksonville, Fla., and Pine Bluff, Ark. Aside from these innovations (industrial) just mentioned, space allotted will not allow me to enumerate the great budget of commercial enterprises now in evidence under sole control of Negro management. What does this show? It shows that the progressive spirit of the age is an omnipresent factor in the life of the Negro of to-day, and his success is significant of his acquired ability. After viewing these few of the many proofs of his advancement, who agrees with the gentleman in question? Conner, K R, 34 State Hs Objects proofs are abundant enough to give us undoubted facts of the progressiveness of the American Negro, but the cause of our course has many hidden attributes, each of which has been exerted for or against us in such a way that in reality all he raised us to stand on our present plane. Industrial training, character-building, companionship and self-assertiveness has been the main current in aiding the Negro to rise while provincial-social pressure together with political limitation have also been aiding him-by way of the under current. The first assertion is obviously plain because people of high civic moral and religious character feel no mistrust in putting together their minds, moneys and energy in corporate form, for the great strength in their unity must push them on toward their goal, but it is not so easy to see how pressure and limitation are indirectly aiding the colored American in his progressive march. Pressure is a force exerted upon a person or thing, the tendency of which is to unify or solidify it. Social pressure upon the Negro in the business arena has ousted him from liberate participation at store, hall and restaurant, etc., to such an extent that he has begun to unite his affinate forces for love of liberty, sought others of same calibre, started stores, erected halls, formed business enterprises, catered to the needs of his people and have so fraternalized in commercial pursuits that it takes but one glance ahead to reveal a day, unless our progress is intercepted when the Negro will be so well equipped with the requisites of an independent people that he may if he will segregate into a nation within, from and by itself. One of the safeguards to feeble life in the doctor's prescription is in its limitation, and one whose good can easily be seen, but the result of the Negro suffrage and the political office-holding limitation must be looked for in the flowing under-current. Since the disfranchisement movement began in the South (to illustrate in short) more of the illiterate of our race have studied their books, searching for knowledge and sought to be unable to construe intelligently our constitutional laws than ever was known before. They have put their children in school, increased the length of the short school term and deprived themselves of undue pleasures that they may be able Electrizing Merci COUNTRY 60 SH DENVER, COLORADO, SAT DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1904. to comply with the suffrage limitation. I do not sanction this pressure but I do not see in it a reaction which is advancing the Negro and leaving the illiterate whites to their fate. One has only to visit the interior of Southland and talk with one of the many Negro ex-officials there, then review their present or past work to sanction an equitable limitation act where ignorance or worthlessness forms the basis of the cause, yet it is among the sons and daughters of ex-slaves, South of Mason-Dixon's line that furnish us the super-abundance of evidence that the Negro as a race is not going backward or standing, but is gradually climbing the ladder whose bottom was placed in the nadir of degradation, during slavery, but whose top today reaches to the zenith of prosperity.

Gathered From Our Exchanges. L. W. Baker, of Wilberforce, O. has been appointed superintendent of construction of woodwork at Washington, D. C., at a salary of $2,000 per year. Jackson, Miss., December 27.—According to sensus figures compiled by Secretary of State Power, it is found that there are today about 300,000 more Negroes in the state than whites. It has been announced that H. T. Velor, postmaster of Brinton, Pa., has received an offer of the position of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia at a $5,000 annual salary. Wheeling, W. Va., December 21. —Moses Tiddings, a Negro white-washer, who came to Wheeling in 1872, has fallen heir to a share in an estate in Baltimore. Mayor Sweeney received a letter from W. F. Tiddings, of 1125 Hamilton street. Baltimore asking him to look up Moses Tiddings. The writer stated he was under bond of $7.500 as executor of the estate of the late John H. Tiddings, who was an uncle of both the writer and the Wheeling man. When Moses was brought before the mayor to hear the letter read he feared he was going to get a jail sentence, but when he gathered the import of the message Moses yelled with joy. In a recent lecture Booker T. Washington said that one twenty-sixth of the soil of Virginia was owned by Negroes, according to official records. The Negro race develeped more rapidly in the thirty years of its froedom than the Latin race in 1000 years of freedom. About 65 per cent. of Italians, 85 per cent. of Spaniards, 70 per cent. of Russians, and 80 per cent. of South Americans were illiterate. "In Georgia," said Mr. Washington, "$16, 700,000 is the taxable value of Negro property. Probably the colored man has learned the lesson of hiding its real value from his white brother; the figures ought to be over $30,000,000." New Orleans, Dec. 27th.—Governor James K. Vardaman of Mississippi declares that he will rid the state of the whitecappers who make Negroes their victims. It developed today that the Governor had retained the services of a squad of detectives to go to Franklin county, and secure evidence against whitecappers has been instituted in Mississippi. The district court has just cleared out Lincoln county, where about 300 cases were tried, while men being convicted right and left, and sent to the penitentiary, for one life, five for fifty years each, and a number for twenty years. The same thing will be done in Franklin county, so Governor Vardaman declared to-day. The McCall creek neighborhood will be cleared out by Pinkerton men first. The following from London shows what they think of Jackson, "The great American boxer, who has been the leading figure in English boxing for the past few months, has been accorded a farewell benefit. During his short stay in England, Young Peter Jackson has had a triumphal march and has made many friends. Ample testimony of this was seen at the Coach and Horses, Stonebridge Park, the well appointed establishment of 'Jolly Jumbo' where a farewell concert was held. At an interval in the proceedings Mr. Howard presented the champion with a handsome gold scarf pin and a silver mounted ebony walking stick from 'Joly Jumbo' (Mr. Ecclestone) a pair of hair brushes from Mrs. Ecclestone, and a silver cigar case from a few friends at Stonebridge Park. In handing over the gifts to Young Peter Jackson, Mr. Howard said that since the champion had come to our shores, he had made many friends. He had proved his undoubted claim to the welter-weight championship by beating the best of our countrymen. The large hall at the back of the hotel was beautifully decorated with Chinese lanterns, and here a high-class musical entertainment was held." Letter From Arfica. Cholo. B. C. A.

The trials of this life are hard to bear, and it requires no small amount of philosophy and moral courage to meet the demands of the world. Too much must not be expected in return. We must not look constantly for tenderest sympathy, immortal friendship, undying constancy and continuel praise from those about us. The bitter must be taken with the sweet, and discouragement need not follow disappointment. Few will be found who look more to the interests of others than to their own. Care and disapointment are indigenous to this earthly life, and we must expect them, meeting them bravely when they come, and not suffering the canker of discouragement to eat into our hearts. Every talent should be cultivated, every energy bent in the direction of truth and right, that the world may be better for our presence, and our example followed by those who come after us. In occupation we forget our troubles and get respite from sorrow. Work is the best panacea known for discontent and worry. The man whose mind and hands are busy has no time to wail over his discouragements. A cheerful acceptance of our daily trail sand cares, and a confident trust that "As the day is, so shall the strength be," is more than half the battle in gaining a victory over them. Courage and a strong determination to conquer, can accomplish almost anything. The life of every housekeeper is beset with difficulties and petty annoyances with only a cheerful courage can carry her through. Let her determine to surmount the obstacles, and attack them with vigor and she will find that a burden borne with patience and amiability not only becomes light in itself, but gives strength for the bearing of those that follow it. Cheerfulness is more profitable than sadness, and one who earnestly tries to preserve an appearance of cheerfulness will find that he will soon have the spirit of it.—Selected. F. M.

STATEHOOD BILL STATEHOOD BILL IS DISCUSSED IN THE SENATE Senator Bate Pleads Against Undue Haste.—Only reason for Consolidation is to Keep Down Number of Senators. Washington, Jan. 5.—Upon reconvening yesterday after the holiday recess the Senate plunged directly into consideration of the bill for the admission of two states to be composed of Arizona and New Mexico, and Oklahoma and Indian Territory. A motion by Mr. Beveridge to take up the bill prevailed by a two-thirds majority. The reading of the statehood bill being concluded, Mr. Bate moved to recommit that measure because the testimony taken before the committee on territories had not been reported, rendering it difficult to make a minority report. Many of the sittings of the committee, Mr. Bate said, had been held when the Senate was in session and this with other circumstances had prevented the attendance of Democratic senators. He pleaded against undue haste in the matter and entered upon an argument against the consolidation of the four territories into two states. Referring to the proposed union of Arizona and New Mexico, he said they would make a state of greater area than is comprised in all the New England states, with New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania added. The only reason for the consolidation was found, he said, in the desire to prevent an increase of United States senators. Mr. Beveridge said all the members of the committee on territories had been notified of the committee meetings and that failure to attend was with the members. He also said the fact that the House had made a full report of testimony rendered a similar report by the Senate unnecessary. Mr. Bate admitted that due notice of meetings had been given. "They wanted us to help make a quorum," he said, "but we did not come up with the ante." The reference of the venerable senator to a popular game caused a smile around the chamber. His motion was voted down, Mr. Heyburn voting with the Democrats for re-committal. Mr. Nelson supported the bill as reported by the committee. Referring especially to the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, he said they were so constituted as to be the complement each of the other. Explaining the grant of land for school purposes, Mr. Nelson said that the entire state would get the benefit of the grant to Oklahoma. He also spoke of the grant of $5,000,000 for schools, but said this was not a gratuity, as was suggested by Mr. Bailey. Mr. Foraker and Mr. Bailey united in asking questions concerning the provision referring to the Oklahoma school lands which had already been granted, and Mr. Bailey suggested that it might lead to further trouble. Mr. Nelson said the reiteration was merely for the purpose of making assurance doubly sure. In considering the provisions of the bill relative to New Mexico and Arizona, he quoted statistics to show that the growth of both territories had been slow and the population was still meager. The present population of the two territories was 400,000 or less. He admitted that a large percentage of the people of Arizona were Americans, while many of those in New Mexico were Mexicans. He did not admit, however, that a majority of the New Mexico people were Mexicans, and he also contended that there was no real enmity between the two nationalities. Blow at Prohibition Laws. Washington, Jan. 5.—The Supreme Court of the United States has reversed the decision of the Supreme Court of Iowa in two cases involving the construction of the Iowa prohibitory law, the opinion in each case being handed down by Justice White. In the first case, that of the American Express Company vs. the State of Iowa, the state authorities seized certain packages of liquor sent C. O. D. from Rock Island, Illinois, to Tama, Iowa, and their destruction was ordered. The Supreme Court of Iowa sustained this proceeding but the judgment is reversed on the ground that it is in contravention of the interstate commerce clause of the federal constitution. Justice White added that if such a practice were carried to its legitimate conclusion and the various states given authority to control C. O. D. shipments of merchandise from one state to another, much of the interstate business of the country would be placed at the mercy of the states. Squadron Will Back Out. St. Petersburg, Jan. 5—It seems now to be definitely settled that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron will not attempt at present to reach Vladivostok. The decision has been reached that he will await the third Pacific squadron, on which work is proceeding night and day and several ships of which are expected to be ready for service by the end of January. It is by no means certain that Rojestvensky will return with his ships to European waters; he may await the third squadron off the coast of Madagascar, and seize and make his base one of the uninhabited coral islands of Polynesia. In view of the report that the Japanese intend to invest Vladivostok, General Batilavoff, who has been interviewed, has expressed the opinion that if Vladivostok should be blockaded Rojestvensy would be compelled to return. Will Use Pike's Peak. Kenosha, Wls. Jan. 5.—The American De Forest wireless telegraph system is to be given a supreme test. Z. G. Simmons of this city this morning granted the company the right to use a steel tower owned by him on top of Pike's Peak, Colorado, as a station. President Abraham White this morning characterized the station as the supreme test of the utility of the wireless telegraphy. REPORT SHOWS ESTATE INTACT Executors of W. S. Stratton's Will Show Immense Receipts and Expenditures. Colorado Springs, Colo., Jan. 4.—The executors of the Stratton estate, Tyson H. Dines, D. H. Rice and Carl S. Chamberlin, have filed their report for the year just ended with Judge James A. Orr of the County Court. It contains a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures and shows that $351,345.59 has been received and $310,700.86 paid out during the year, leaving a balance on hand at the close of business December 31, 1904, of $40,644.73. The report was accompanied by a letter to the court, which shows that, including the claim of I. Harry Stratton, the heir-at-law, for $6,000,000, exactly $23,359,945 has been filed in suits and claims against the estate since the death of Mr. Stratton. As is well known, the will contest of L. Harry Stratton was compromised for $350,000. Debts of Mr. Stratton aggregating $119,485 have been paid by the executors. It is a remarkable fact that the other disbursements, including attorneys' fees, money paid experts on insanity during the trial of the will contest, mining engineers, court costs and expenses, administrators' fees and the premiums on administrators' and executors' bonds, and all other expenses, did not exceed the maximum amount which the statutes allow for administrators' fees alone. In other words, the expenses of managing the estate since Mr. Stratton's death have not been equal to six per cent. of its value, and the estate itself has been kept intact, the expenses being paid by earnings. The report for the year shows many interesting items. For example, it shows that the estate received $30,000 in the form of two six per cent. dividends on $50,000 worth of preferred stock of the street car company. During the year $109,995.60 was received in dividends for the real estate holdings in Colorado Springs and Denver. Three of these were in the form of profit dividends of $24,999 each, and one for $34,998.60 accrued from the sale of the property at Pike's Peak and Nevada avenues in Colorado Springs to the government for a federal building site. Four dividends of $30,259.98 each on 504,333 shares of Portland gold mining stock for the year amounted to $121,039.22. Among the big disbursements of the year were the following, all of which were paid on claims approved by the court: Annie Hellmark (housekeeper to Mr. Stratton) $5,000 Attorneys (account of will contest) $82,000. T. S. Dines, $27,500. D. H. Rice, $27,500. A. C. Sharp, $27,500. C. S. Chamberlin (account fees as executor) $4,500. Premiums on executors' bonds, $20, 000. C. W. Kurie (settlement two claims) $5,000. Tyson S. Dines (balance of fees as administrator, with interest, $34, 235.89. D. H. Rice (balance of fees as administrator, with interest, $34, 235.89. A. G. Sharp (balance of fees as administrator, with interest, $34, 235.89. Terms of Surrender. Tokio, Jan. 4.—The Japanese have occupied several of the Port Arthur forts. Originally the Russian army in Port Arthur numbered 35,000. Eleven thousand have been killed, 16,000 are wounded or sick, while 8,000 remained in the forts, of whom, however, 2,000 were unable to fight. When General Stoessel wrote to General Nogi regarding the surrender of the fortress, he said: "I have 8,000 men in the forts, and 6,000 of these are able to fight. If you do not accept my proposal, these men will die fighting, but it will cost you three times their number to kill them." During the siege 265 per cent, of the garrison were put out of action. This remarkable fact was due to wounded men returning to the front. Cases have been recorded where men have gone to hospitals seven times, returning convalescent to the forts. The number of officers was proportionately greater than in any battle known to history. This was due to the frequent lethargic condition of the men who, without food and without sleep, moved only when led by their officers. The Russians estimate that the taking of the fortress has cost Japan $100,000,000. The Russian losses in supplies, buildings and warships at Port Arthur and Dalny will exceed half a billion dollars. The terms of capitulation allow Russian army and navy officers to leave on parole with their swords. The rest are prisoners of war. The Russians must furnish the Japanese complete descriptions and maps of all fortifications, underground and submarine mines. C. F. and I. Improvements Postponed. Denver, Jan. 4.—The Republican this morning says: The long drawn out litigation with the state of Kansas concerning the use of the waters of the Arkansas river, and the feeling of uncertainty regarding the final decision as to ownership, may be held primarily responsible for the abandonment of plans by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company to spend in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 for improvements during 1905. It was stated, yesterday, by one of the high officials of the company, that no money would be expended for improvements during the coming year, beyond the necessary repairs and small additions contingent upon the running of the various plants. One of the most extensive and expensive improvements formerly contemplated by the officers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company was the construction of a monster ditch to take water out of the Arkansas river near the Royal Gorge and convey it to Pueblo.

Mr. Murray, who was at the Colum- bia hotel last night, has lived in close proximity to the Navajo reservation for the last twelve years and has seen the great braves of this, one of the most artistic tribes, transplant thelr families from the Wigwam houses ot wood and adobe, He says most posi- tively that the new life does not agree with them. “Tuberculosis has become so preva- lent in the Navajo tribe,” he said, “that the death rate is enormous. ‘Bhey have lived so close to the white man that they have adopted his ways. They are no longer free and easy in- habitants of the open. Living as they do in huts, they cannot be healthy. ‘They are too congested, and while they will live in the white man’s dwelling they will not live with the white man’s cleanliness and regard to space.

Shouting Their Praises. Kirkland, Ill, Jan. 2nd.—(Spectal) —Gured of the terrible Rheumatic pains that made him a cripple for years, Mr. Richard’ R. Greenhon, an old and respected resident of this place is shouting the praises of the remedy that cured him, Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills. “I had the rheumatism in my left Umb so that I could not walk over ten to fifteen rods at a time, and that by the use of two canes,” Mr. Greenhon says, “I would have to sit or le down on the ground when I was out trying to walk and the sweat would run down my face, with so much pain. I could not sleep at night for about five or six weeks. “I tried different doctors’ medicines, but they were all no good. Then I sent for Dodd’s Kidney Pills and almost from the first they brought relief. By the timo I had taken four- teen boxes of them my rheumatism was all gone and I can truly say I feel better than I have in the last twenty-five years.” Filipinos Learning English.

HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. | An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces: sary te break a lifelong habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado MANNERS. Department, in a general sense, is not supposed to be a subject requiring editorial advice, it being presumed that social taste creates and inculcates good mammers which applies to ordinary social intercourse, but we have in mind certain criticisms that have been passed upon the Negro in certain capacities or callings which are often the source of his living. The criticism of colored waiters and porters in the dining car and Pullman services, in which they are charged with being "impudent" and "insolent," especially when disappointed. But we consider it best to admit that in numerous instances the rearing of the young Negro does not tend to make him an adept in good manners, such as every ordinary person who earns his living by direct contact with others, and especially as persons in service, ought to be. There was a time when there were no more polite, courteous and good mannered servants in the world than the American Negro, but we doubt that the boast can be safely made to-day. Waiting and serving are voluntary vocations, now everywhere and entirely honorable. If persons are engaged in these callings, they owe it to themselves to fulfill every requirement of their work, never failing politeness and good manners being not the least. Many colored men recognize the necessity for such an acquirement, but all of them do not. Too many Negro servants are surly, ill-mannered and disagreeable. Such are responsible for the criticisms referred to above. The fault is generally in their raising. Many parents set bad examples before their children and utterly neglect or forget to impress upon them the value of god manners in every walk of life. Some of our parents are serpulously zealous in forcing children to follow certain rules or manerisms, but the real principle of good manners is often spoiled even in these same homes. Children do what they see or hear their parents do, rather than what the parents tell them to do. So we often hear colored children (and some whites) yelling at other children when demanding a service or when seeking to correct them. This is a sure sign of ill-breeding and inbred insolence. Such children grow up with some knowledge of, but very little respect for real good manners. Their manners lack culture and refinement. They exist only in theory and are practiced with a special motive. The house servant is often thus afflicted. They possess mistaken ideas of pride and often expect their employers to be more courteous to them than they are to the employers. These errors often lead to dissatisfaction and sometimes to disgust on the part of those who furnish the employment. Then comes criticism and discharge. Then white waiters and servants find openings. Real good manners are a recommendation to any person and ought to be a servant's stock in trade. While we serve we should serve well. Inbred politeness does not leave a person, as a rule. No servant should be first to lose his temper. If he has been properly raised, he will not do so, and employees of all classes are reaching the point where they will be compelled to meet the competition of the whites seeking their places. It will not do to meet the situation with surly defiance. Good manners, inborn, and well practiced, will do more than anything else to win the fight. In so far as our cause is just, we should not be afraid to speak. When we are maligned, we should talk back. But to prove our efficiency beyond a doubt, we must not forget or overlook the value of politeness and good manners under all circumstances. JOKE ON THE JOKER. Illustration of Henry Ward Beecher's Excellence at Repartee. That Henry Ward Beecher was spared much embarrassment by his quickness at repartee is illustrated by the following story: One evening, as he was in the midst of an impassioned speech, someone attempted to interrupt him by suddenly crowling like a rooster. It was done to perfection; a number of people laughed in spite of themselves, and the speaker's friends felt that in a moment the whole effect of the meeting, and of Mr. Beecher's thrilling appeals, might be lost. The orator, however, was equal to the occasion. He stopped, listened till the crowing ceased, and then, with a look of surprise, pulled out his watch "Morning already!" he said; "my watch is only at ten. But there can be no mistake about it. The instincts of the lower animals are infallible." There was a roar of laughter. The "lower animal" in the gallery collapsed, and Mr. Beecher was able to resume as if nothing had occurred.—Success. MAY BE RACE OF GIANTS. One of the Possibilities of Continued Use of Lecithin. The process by which a human being or other animal grows is something of a mystery, and nobody knows why development comes to an end at a certain stage of life. It is supposed that an alligator continues to grow throughout its entire life, and the same may be true of some other reptiles; but the growth period of a mammal is usually limited to about one-fifth of the term of its natural existence. If development during that period can be accelerated the size of the animal at maturity will be greater. Hence it is thought that children judiciously dosed with lecitian may in this way be made to grow taller and more muscular. Perhaps, indeed, by this simple means we may yet be able to create a race of giants, such as the people described in the story on H. G. Wells, who owe their enormous size to a wonderful food. So-Called Prophecies. Any man of a lively fancy, who knows enough of human nature to realize its abiding needs, can enumerate future discoveries by the dozen with a fair chance that perhaps one in a thousand may be realized within a century, says the London Spectator. To the same class belong the curious anticipation by native tribes, which generally take the form of news known, when by no conceivable means could information have reached them by ordinary channels. The present writer believes that this phenomenon, which some have explained by telegraphy, is simply a form of anticipation. The native is an inveterate guesser and since his tongue never ceases and his invention is active, he makes enough attempts to be fairly certain of stumbling now and then on the truth. Snakes in Water. All reptiles swim. Almost all snakes move through the water with as much ease and rapidity as on land. Rattlesnakes, for example, are much given to swimming in placid water if it is not too cold. In the Everglade lakes of Florida they may be often seen. It is well to know that to attack from a boat a poisonous snake in the water is a much more dangerous proceeding than to attack the snake on land. The reason is that the reptile will immediately make for the boat, since it must have a solid base from which to strike. It half leaps and half climbs into the craft, and there is a fight at uncomfortably close quarters.—Success. Never Despair. Fight your way on through each storm and privation; Make of each barrier a power to up lift; Eten as the vine in its dark desolation Throws out its arms to each bright sunny rift; Make a ladder of weed and Up which to heaven it may push. Fight your way on through each grie and each burden; Sweet are blossoms which patience un folds; Time in its archives guards safely thigh groom; Tighten thy tendrils which faith sweetly holds; Dark though the day be and darker the night; Never a darkness but yielded to light -Katharine H. Terry in Chattanooga. GOV. PEABODY'S MESSAGE TO COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY Denver, Jan. 6.—Following is a condensation of Governor Peabody's message read before the joint session of the Legislature yesterday afternoon: "In conformity with established custom, and in respectful obedience to our constitution, I have the honor to submit to your honorable body such information concerning the welfare and general condition of the state and its several institutions as seems fit and proper, together with such recommendations as are deemed expedient and essential. "It is with deep regret that I am compelled to record the death of one of our most loyal and respected citizens, the Hon. Benjamin H. Eaton, who was governor of Colorado during the years 1885 and 1886. He was a man of lovable disposition and of notable achievements. "You will find from a careful study of the report of the state treasurer that on the whole our finances as a state are in excellent shape. One matter touched upon by the treasurer I deem worthy of your especial and favorable consideration. "Insurrection certificates of indebtedness from Lake City to the present time aggregate $784,464.72, and I believe it to be your imperative duty to arrange for the redemption of the same with interest. The recommendation of the state treasurer on this important subject is an excellent one. He proposes the issuance of $800,000 in bonds, payable in twenty-five years, at a reasonable rate of interest, payable semi-annually. The school fund has $300,000 invested in capitol building warrants about to mature, and there are ample funds on hand to meet this claim. This would leave $200,000 free in the school fund to be properly, with safety and with remuneration to the schools, invested in a part of these bonds. The remaining $500,000 of the bonds could readily be disposed of in the open market." The treasurer's suggestions as to the need of a state examiner of public accounts is indorsed. A liberal appropriation is recommended for the further defense of the Kansas-Colorado water suit. The work of the land department is commended and attention is called to a new measure that will be asked for by the State Forestry Association. "No state institution, because of its commendable purposes and character, imperatively demands more consideration than does the Soldiers and Sailors' Home at Monte Vista. The increasing age and infirmities of its inmates make citizen labor in their behalf more necessary, and the eminently proper regulation of the federal government preventing the further use of pension money for clothing, increases the expenses of the state at this institution in the future. In my opinion this institution should be supplied by the state with at least $60,000 for the present biennial period. I firmly believe that a $10,000 building appropriation should be provided in addition to the suggested maintenance fund, so that better hospital and heating facilities may be provided. "The recommendation by the Board of Lunacy Commissioners and also by the superintendent of the insane asylum, that a suitable tract of land, consisting of several hundred acres, upon which to immediately erect a building of suitable dimensions to accommodate 500 patients, I heartily concur in," The State School of Mines is highly commended for its efficient work and the governor believes that "plentiful financial support for this institution is money well spent." "Two years ago the Legislature wisely appropriated $100,000 for the Colorado State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children for the biennial period. This amount was put to admirable purposes, but the management, now having secured a good commencement in the matter of buildings, will only need $70,000 for the biennial period now in progress. I heartily recommend that amount." "A decrease in the per capita cost of maintenance at the per capita in connection with better discipline and improved sanitary and living conditions is worthy of commendation. A less appropriation than $295,000 for the present period would be a drawback to the perpetuity of the satisfactory management of the penitentiary." The Agricultural College is highly praised and members are urged to visit it and become acquainted with its capabilities and needs. "Our State University at Boulder continues to progress in excellent management and results obtained. Its two-fifths mill levy is a great benefit, but the increase in attendance has been so steady that during the present scholastic year in university and preparatory school there are for the first time over 1,000 students. It may be found advisable to appropriate suitable amounts for some needed new buildings. "A perusal of the report of the State Normal School will confirm your probably already established belief that this institution is accomplishing an admirable work and its requests for your aid are well worthy of consideration. "The Industrial School for Boys and the one for girls are institutions which are ordinarily specially liable to adverse criticism because of the character of the work involved. There are always many who aid in dragging down, but the percentage of the good and faithful men and women who help to lift up is never too large. The self-sacrificing members of the boards of these two schools in requesting your attention and assistance for the work in hand deserve your support. "Through state aid, an emergency indebtedness and the munience of a private donation of land equivalent to $20,000, the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind now owns twenty-four acres in one tract, and the city of Colorado Springs has vacated the streets and alleys thereon. The emergency indebtedness is less than $15,000 and should be met at once. "There should be an administration building, gymnasium and funds for improvements on the school building at the very least." The Board of Charities and Correc- tions and the Board of Pardons receive high praise. "The State Bureau of Child and Animal protection is constantly performing a humane work of importance. It has been hampered by an annual short age in the past and now needs an additional agent on the staff. I suggest a liberal appropriation for the work of this organization." The State Historical Society and the State Library are commended to the attention of the assembly. "The department of the game and fish commissioner has been conducted admirably with a satisfactory record of convictions secured for violation of the game and fish laws, and a very substantial surplus of about $15,000 above the expenditures from legislative appropriations and receipts. "For six years Mrs. Helen L. Grenfell has been Colorado's state superintendent of public instruction. An examination of the record she has made will be the surest way of realizing her great worth to the state and the importance of the work she has accomplished. "Mrs. Grenfell again calls attention to making provision for the reimbursement of the school fund invested in the so-called excess warrants of 1887 to 1889. The matter cannot be settled until it is settled by a constitutional amendment and the state's financial integrity thus assured. "As a tribute to the splendid services of Mrs. Grenfell I would suggest that special provision be made for the printing complete of her last and very valuable report, recently submitted to me, which could not be published in its entirety with strict compliance to the 300 page limitation. An appropriation is recommended to purchase a gift for the United States armored cruiser "Colorado." "Through my personal solicitation the United States government has still further honored this state by taking the old bell, cast in 1848, for the frigate 'Colorado,' and placing the same upon the cruiser 'Colorado,' where it now rings for liberty and chimes with the patriotism of our people. "The fluvenile court bill, 'A bill for an act to regulate the treatment and control of delinquent children,' recommended in my inaugural for your favorable action, has since its passage, proved to be fully as satisfactory as we anticipated, and I congratulate the Fourteenth General Assembly on its passage, and upon the enactment of the probate law; both of these measures having been prepared by the county judges' association. "A word of praise for women is in order when summing up the good in the administration of state affairs. Women conducting our traveling library commission have carried on successfully a new but excellent labor of education. Women have exceptionally well managed the affairs of our public schools, state library, dairy and horticultural departments and other branches of the service of the commonwealth. Public spirited women on our charities board, on the boards conducting the dependent children's school, agricultural college, girls' industrial school, and, in fact, in practically every department and institution of the state, have raised the moral tone and maintained or increased the efficiency in the various lines of work in which they have interested themselves. "Early in my administration a certain organization known as the Western Federation of Miners, claiming public consideration under the name of labor, whose officers and those in direct charge of its management are bold, careless, reckless men, attempted to foment trouble in several of the industrial sections of Colorado, to the end that that particular organization should have recognition in the operation and management of the mines, mills and smelters wherever located in this state, which efforts culminated in the arbitrary calling of the most senseless, causeless, unjustifiable and inexcusable strikes ever known in this or any other country. "Belleving that my duty to the people of this state lay in protecting life and property in advance of annihilation, I proceeded to stop the unlawful methods of this reckless band of men." "The incidents of the altogether too long conflict are so familiar to every resident of Colorado, I shall not dwell upon them, suffice it to say, law and order was maintained, peace restored and prosperity immediately followed. "Anarchy cannot continue under our American form of government, and the people of this state breathe free in the knowledge that they are entitled to lawful protection, and when the laws are enforced can obtain it. "I recommend the passage of an act by your honorable body prohibiting boycotting, picketing, unfair lists or other interference with the lawful business or occupation of others, and providing for a suitable penalty therefor." Among the further suggestions in the message are the following: Compulsory arbitration, with right of review vested in Supreme Court, of Review Vestibl. in Supreme Court. Constitutional amendment providing for the appointment of a board of three members as a state land board and board of equalization. Passage of a reasonable eight-hour law. Modern primary registration law and voting machines. A minimum salary for retiring teachers at living wages. Compulsion of county assessors to list properties at fair valuations. To place every state department under civil service. A state forester. A tract of land and additional buildings to accommodate the insane. Calls attention to the overcrowded condition of the penitentiary and recommends employment for convicts. A traveling auditor to check the accounts of state institutions. In case no new militia bill is passed an amendment is recommended providing that the United States army and National Guard deserters shall forfeit the right of citizenship. A abolishment of the board of pardons. A liberal policy in the matter of roads and bridges. The O.K. CLEANING AND PRESSING WORKS ARE PREPARED TO CLEAN, REPAIR AND PRESS LADIES, AND GENTS' CLOTHING AT MORE REASONABLE PRICES THAN ELSEWHERE. We want your orders because we deserve them. We treat you right. Then our prices are right, too. Say! Now listen. Why pay $1.50 to $2 for cleaning suits? Our prices, $1 to $1.25. Why pay 75 cents to $1 for pressing suits? Our price, only 50 cents. Why pay 25 cents for pressing pants? Our price, only 15 cents. Why pay $1.25 and up for cleaning shirts? Our price, 75 cents and up. Why pay three months in advance for pressing suits? We press suits one month for $1; best work. A WEIGHTY QUESTION. Clean clothes are a passport to society and a great help to success in any calling. Years of increasing business have taught us that "If cleanliness isn't next to godliness," it is, however, a great life preserver. We are right to attach this importance to our unsurpassed process of cleaning on account of its influence on health. But even the cleanest of us think it sufficient to have shirts and underwear regularly and frequently cleaned, and it is quite forgotten that it is hardly less important to wear clean suits, or clothes. You consider it sufficient to brush them, and to free their outsides from dust and dirt, not thinking that such garments, especially woolen ones, form a highly favorable nidus for bacteria and disease germs of every kind. In restaurants, theaters and concert halls, in ball rooms, in public conveyances and many other places, one is forced into close contact with all sorts and conditions of men—healthy and sick, dirty and clean—and have the most ample opportunity for accumulating disease germs from their garments. The normal activity of the skin as a remover of injurious matter from the body is impossible, except with porous and well-ventilated clothing. We take vapor and electric baths to open our pores and then cover them with clothes of which the pores are clogged with dirt and ancient perspiration. This ought to be enough to show that our outer as well as our inner garments should undergo a regular and thorough cleaning. Having been laconically shown that the cleaning of clothes is a primary requisite for sustenance of good health—a money saver as well—you should intrust such clothing to the or to firms whose reputation is valued too highly to turn out unsatisfactory work.

Refreshments will be served. Admission 25 cts. A Swear-off club was organized last Sunday but the only member that has thus far kept his vows is Thomas Arrington. Well Tom has always been a good fellow and this fact is no surprise to those who know him best. He still continues to pester Duke, but that creed was not in the vows. Miss Julia F. Lee of 2247 Lincoln Ave. was made past grand master in entertaining a few friends with a five course dinner, Monday, Dec. 26th. Those present were Mr. John Hardy and Miss Bettie Thomas, Mr. George Bladden and Miss Sadie Thomas, Mr. T. H. Perkins and wife, Dr. Cottrell and Wm. Gibson. Piano music by Miss Sadie Thomas. Refreshments were served in abundance. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and beautiful palms. A full dress dancing party was held at Five Points hall last Wednesday night by the Nota Bene club, which is composed of young ladies who know no limit to making things pleasant for their guests. As hall decorators, we can say without fear of contradiction that the young ladies surpassed any former attempt that has been undertaken in this city, and this feature of the occasion coupled with the blissfulness of the evenings program will make it an indelible rememberance. Sergeant S. A. Waifield arrived in the city last Thursday from Ft. Riley. Kas., where he was recently honorably discharged from the Ninth United States cavalry. Sergeant Waifield has been in the service for eleven years and his promotions from a private to that of several higher ranks during that period is sufficient proof that he is a man of integrity and worth. He has represented the famous Ninth in many competitions as a sharpshooter and as a result, he has been awarded several medals for his superior marksmanship. As a drillmaster he is gilt edge. He is quite an interesting conversationalist and in an interview with the writer ne related some thrilling stories of the warfares in Cuba and the Philippines. In fraternal societies he is Past Grand Master of the Masonic organization and a member of Eureka Lodge No. 135. A. F. & A. M. F. T. Buford, North Dakota. It is gratifying to know that the Sergeant will make Denver his permanent location. We are glad to welcome such a man to our community as his worth to it will reflect much credit. He is stopping at 2624 California street, the guest of Mr. C. L. Flynn, who has shown him around the city; introducing him to our prominent citizens and has made it quite pleasant for the Sergeant since his arrival. G. W. Club Reception. Among the very swell social gatherings this week was the reception and ball given at Five Points hall, Thursday night by the Gentlemen's Whist Club. Those who comprise the membership of this organization are men who believe in having only the best of everything and how well they upheld their belief on this occasion is widely vouchered for by those who were in attendance. Besides the tripling of the light fantastic, whist was indulged and the evening program was an unique one in every particular. The officers and committees of the club are as follows:— OFFICERS Walter Chatman.....President S. R. Burns.....Secretary A. R. Butler.....Vice-president Sandy Grant.....Treasurer L. D. George.....Sargeant-at-arms COMMITTEES ARRANGEMENT;—L. W. George, Chairman; S. R. Burns. Reception: A. A Ealy, A R. Butler, Charles White; Mrs. White, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Chatman.

While here she was highly entertained by the members. Luncheon was tendered her and Mrs. Evans of Boston, mass., at the home of Mrs. W. R. Rhodes. Those present were mesdames Paterson, Fisher, McLemore, Hayes and Porter. The committee accompanied her to the Springs, where they met the committee there jointly, and with the combine force they gave her a Royal reception. On Saturday they went through the Garden of Gods where she beheld the works of nature in its fullest extent. The Climax of her good time in Colo. was ended at shorter A. M.

It is up to a man to pay his rent on get a move on himself. The good man who goes wrong is a bad man just found out. Paradoxical though it may seem, a pooled child is always fresh. When the bunko man builds an ab- astle he uses sand and gold bricks. Nothing makes a girl so weary as to have a young man threaten to kiss er. A wife provides for the inner man and a husband provides for the outer woman. No, Cordelia, a poet doesn't necessarily dwell in an attic for the sake of the view. When a man begins to take whisky is a medicine he soon becomes a chronic invalid. When a young man places a girl's picture in his watchcase he expects to marry her in time. Never smoke a gift cigar in the presence of the donor unless you have wonderful self-control. If a man doesn't acquire the reformation germ when he is sick there isn't much hope for him. Story of Orange Blossom. The practice of wearing the orange blossom has been derived from the Saracens, among whom the particular blossom was regarded as a symbol of prospective marriage, a circumstance which is partly to be accounted for by the fact that in the east the orange tree bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the same time. You will also read that the flower was introduced into the wedding customs of our country by French milliners, having been selected for its beauty rather than for any symbolical reason. On the Pyramids. It is said that Richard Harding Davis is once made a joke about the pyramids that is still repeated at Shep heard's hotel, the famous hostelry of Cairo. Mr. Davis was studying the pyramids when a guide approached and said to him: "It took hundreds of years to build them monuments, sir." "A government job, eh?" said th/ novelist.—Buffalo Enquirer.

Case Where Quality Should Predominate Over Quantity. It is told that Russell Sage said that he never cared to know anyone who would not be of use to him. Possibly by "use" he was specially thinking of pecuniary advantage. Like many millionaires his horizon is apt to be bounded by cash. But, believing that there are many uses to be derived from one's acquaintances besides merely pecuniary ones, it seems strange that so few ever think of "making the best of other people." A distinguished playwright the other day confessed that he owed an immense amount of his success to the inspiration he derived from the society of an old crippled lady whom he made a point of visiting two or three times a week. "She never says anything particularly clever or witty," he remarked, "yet I never see her without seeming to give ideas and inspiration. To a great extent that old lady has made me." This goes to show that with a little care and sense everybody might select friends and acquaintances who would generally be of a good deal of benefit. "Happy is the man who has a dozen friends," said Sir Edwin Arnold. He was quite right. They are not to be made in crowds. Friends are things in which quality should predominate over quality. The inventor of the safety pin lives in Cleveland, O., and he has a bigger bank account and more public gratitude than the inventor of the safety bicycle.—Denver Republican. American Trout for Swiss American rainbow trout have been acclimated successfully in the Lake of Constance, and further experiments are to be made with them elsewhere in Switzerland.

The Australian death rate from cancer for every 10,000 living has risen in the last thirty years from 2.75 to 5.72. It has more than doubled for males and nearly doubled for females. Cancer is, however, distinctly a disease of later life, increasing in prevalence as age increases beyond the middle Much. Cancer In Australia. The Good Old Times When Benjamin Franklin took the coach from Philadelphia to New York he spent four days on the journey. He tells us that, as the old driver jogged along, he spent his time knitting stockings. Two stage coaches and eight horses sufficed for all the commerce that was carried on between Boston and New York, and in winter the journey occupied a week--Success. Happiness in Poetry. There are so many holy and tender emotions flying about in our inward world, which, like angels, can never assume the body of an onward act; so many rich and lovely flowers spring up which bear no seed, that it is a happiness poetry was invented, which receives into its limbers all these incorporeal spirits, and the perfume of all these flowers.—Jean Paul Richter. The Simple Life in Gotham. After all, the simple life is widespread here. We do nothing but labor to get a few dollars to pay the officeholders. Political bosses do all our thinking for us, so we have no cares along that line, but simply work and sleep until it's time to go to the poorhouse. Surely nothing could be simpler.—New York Telegram. Practical Scotty "Positively the worst struggle I ever had in the water," said the young man who had been at sea, "was one night trying to save a man with a wooden leg." "Man," said an old Scotchman, who was listening. "if ye had got a bit of rope ye could hae saved the man quicker wil' it than ye could dae wil' ten widden legs." Embezzler Boiled to Death. Embezzler Bombed to Death. In 1890 the last instance of boiling to death took place in Persia. The offender, guilty of stealing state revenues, was put into a large caldron of cold water, which was slowly heated to the boiling point. His bones were distributed, as a warning, among the provincial tax collectors. The Capsules Came Back "Some days ago," remarked the druggist, "I put up a prescription calling for quinine in capsules, as the doctor directed. This morning a small boy came in and requested me to refill the prescription and handed me the empty capsules in which to put the medicine." To Stop Bleeding of the Nose Here is a simple suggestion from a hygienic exchange, to stop bleeding of the nose. Another use for the useful lemon: "Clean the nostrils with pure water. Fill a glass syringe with lemon juice. Inject the lemon juice and the bleeding will stop." Virtue and Vice. We pass for what we are. Character teaches us above our wills. Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice only by overactions and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment.—Waldo Emerson. Have No Use for Pockets We ordered a new pair of trousers the other day and when we got them they were without pockets. When we kicked the tailor told us he always made newspaper men's pants that way.—Sauk Center Herald. Notwithstanding the honor in which harakirl is held in Japan, the proportion of suicides there is comparatively low—177 a million, to 246 in France, 238 in Denmark, 233 in Switzerland and 206 in Germany. Cobbett a Model of Style. A London reviewer says that he once asked a famous editor what writer he would propose as a model of style for a journalist. Without a moment's hesitation, the great man answered, "Cobbett." In a mass of meteoric stone Prof. Moissan, the celebrated French physicist, has discovered a number of diamonds of microscopic dimensions, but of regular octahedral form and perfect water. School for Porto Ricans There are 300 Porto Ricans in San Francisco who want to be educated at the public expense, and the board of education is providing a separate evening school for them. The countries that have the largest population—China, India and Russia—are not the strongest nations, either industrially, commercially or in any other way.

The eating of raw fish is by no means confined to the Esquimaux. Fairly well smoked salmon, cod and trout are eaten raw by Indians and Canadians alike, and are both palatable and easily digested when cut with a sharp knife into the thinnest possible slices, much as old woodsmen like to shave off the chippings of a well smoked but uncooked caribou ham. Rum Changes Tribe. The Nyam-Nyams, of the upper Nile valley, used to be a very harmless, amiable people, whose amusements were to smoke and hold nightly concerts. But rifles and rum changed them, and now a British expedition is marching to punish them for shooting at British "patrols," though what British patrols were doing in the Nyam-Nyam country is not explained. Magnesite in California. Magnesite, which is used in the making of fire brick and other fireproof building materials, has been discovered in large quantities in Santa Clara and Stainslaus counties, California. They are the only known deposits in the United States. Hitherto America has imported magnesite from Greece and Syria. Value of System A wealthy merchant remarked the other day that "his filter of success had a wrapper marked 'system.'" And he declared that both those who sold goods to him and those who bought of him were so impressed with his show of system that the confidence emanating therefrom was a big capital in itself.—Success. New Material for Ships' Decks. A substance called petrolignite is being adopted as a material for the decks of ships. It is prepared from sawdust, mixed with certain minerals, and formed into slabs, under high hydraulic pressure. Its valuable properties are that it is non-inflammable, and is not slippery when wet. Dimples on the Chin Not one girl in 10,000 has a dimple in her chin. Indeed, this kind of dimple seems to be more frequent in men than in women. It has another peculiarity—namely, that it is permanent, whereas other dimples of the face come and go with changes of expression. "Not Found." A letter arrived at the New York postoffice the other day bearing the following address: "To Any Respectable Lawyer, New York City, New York." The carrier into whose hands it fell for delivery returned it marked in blue pencil. "Not found." To Kill Germs in Water. It is not always convenient to sterilize water, and boiling makes it tasteless. In cases where germs are to be destroyed, four drops of tincture of iodine in a half gallon of water, left to stand for a half hour, renders the water harmless. Malicious Personal Questions Don't ask personal questions that carry the sting of humiliation, remembering always that any satisfaction derived from saying mean things is obtained at the price of feelings that should be regarded always as sacred. World's Unexplored Regions. Outside the polar regions there remains unexplored, it is estimated, about one-fifteeth of the land surface of the globe. Fifteen years ago the unknown portions were about one-eighth of the earth's total. Still Imperfect. "The microphone enables a person to hear a fly walk or a bee sneeze," remarked the observer of events and things. "but it won't tell which way a flea is going to hop next."—Yonkers Statesman. It has been found that 70 to 80 percent of the consumptive patients at one of the Swiss sanatoriums retain for several years the extra weight gained there during several months' treatment. Spanish Women Taught to Fence. All well-educated Spanish women are taught from their earliest years to handle the sword, and as a result they are noted for their admirable figures and easy walk. Specimens of Old Grille-Work. In Winchester cathedral there is a door composed of four pieces of iron grille-work, which have the distinction of being the oldest specimens of their kind in Britain. Confidences If a man's pipe could tell all the meditations it has shared with him they would make his wife's hair stand on end.—New York Press. Prize Smoker. A man won a smoking contest in Paris by keeping a cigar alight for two hours and twenty-nine minutes. Japanese Expression of Disapproval. When a Japanese audience wish to express disapproval of a play, they turn their backs to the stage. Poverty Dethrones Cunid. Poverty Detrithes Cupid.

The crisis in the probing of the Denver election frauds was reached last week when the Democratic managers, through their attorneys, suddenly changed from a vigorous policy of opposition to the opening of the Denver ballot boxes to a demand that the Supreme Court open them all. They had up to this time resisted every step that had been taken to uncover the frauds, to punish the guilty or to throw out the fraudulent precincts. This change of tactics was disastrous, as the Republicans who had been doing their utmost to get the Supreme Court to open the boxes which came before it in the contempt cases, promptly accepted the challenge. The subsequent action of the Democratic leaders in trying to back out of an awkward situation disclosed the insincerity of their original intentions in asking the court to open the boxes. Mr. Patterson is held responsible for this blunder by the other leaders and he is roundly scored on all sides. There can be but one result from the opening of these boxes, and that result was sure to add very much to the disgust and pain of the rank and file. Further, it was very likely to have as a finale the entangling of some of Mr. Adams' personal friends from the upper ranks of the leaders. The point that caused the most serious criticism among the Democratic lawyers was the fact that in making the demand on the court they recognized the court's jurisdiction, which they had vigorously denied and which they sent Senator Teller to Washington to disprove before the United States Supreme Court. They cannot consistently accept the court's jurisdiction and the same time deny it before the national Supreme Court. Sentiment of State. The overwhelming sentiment of the state as reflected in Denver appears to favor the Peabody side of the question at the present writing. The extraordinary extent of the frauds in Denver and in a few other counties has become well known. At first it was believed that the Republican estimate of the number of fraudulent ballots cast in Denver was perhaps exaggerated, but the further the investigation proceeded the more convincing became the evidence that the original estimate of from 15,000 to 20,000 was approximately correct. When the Republicans found that they could not get the fictitious names stricken from the registration lists, before the election, they at once canvassed the wards with a view of finding out how many non-residents were registered. After the election they secured by a court order for the poll books and copied them, and immediately started a new canvas to see how many of the bogus names were voted. This canvas has been made hurriedly and far from thoroughly, but it has revealed enough fraud to shock even the "savages" themselves in addition to this the attorneys for the local Republican organization have accumulated an enormous mass of evidence in the form of affidavits, of witnesses to the crimes, of people who were refused the right to vote, and of the repeaters and impersonators themselves which when presented to the Legislature and the courts will be equally as convincing as the opening of the ballot boxes. The opening of the ballot boxes will divulge but a portion of the frauds. This method will show much of the repeating, but not all of it by any means. It will show if the returns have been falsified, but it cannot show the work of the "impersonated" votes nor the number of Republicans who were disfranchised by being dropped from the registration list, or kept from the polls by the rough tactics and intimidation of the police machine. Neither will it show the fraudulent scratching which affidavits show was carried on to a great extent in some precincts. Mr. Fairley's Statement. It will, however, be a basis, and a good one, from which the extent of the frauds may be justly estimated The statement issued by Chairman Fairley of the Republican state central committee last week regarding the frauds was the first issued from that headquarters and the facts he listed construct a most convincing indictment of the election machine which perpetrated the crimes. He calls attention to the frauds two years ago by which nine assemblymen were elected from the Denver district with an average plurality of about 4,000, and then in the same column of figures he places the 4,775 fraudulent Democratic ballots which were found in the twenty-nine ballot boxes opened in Washington at the request of Congressman Bonynge. There is no telling what the number would have been if the other 175 boxes from Denver had been opened. The statement shows conclusively that the entire Denver delegation was fraudulently elected and that Senator Teller owes his seat directly to the election crooks of the red light district of Denver. The frauds in twenty-four precincts are briefly told in addition to the nine which had at that time been investigated by the Supreme Court, and he states that columns could have been filled with similar records of frauds. The statement contains little or no comment by the chairman, but it is nevertheless a most convincing one. Abandoned Hope. Senator Patterson has utterly abandoned all hope of making the fraudulent Denver votes count for Mr. Adams. He has reached the "foiled villain" stage, where he stands and foams and fumes and demands "blood." It is a foregone conclusion that regardless of the action of the Supreme Court the Legislature will investigate the frauds and be guided by sane and just judgment in deciding the matter. Agents of the Bigg Mitt in Denver, who had for years superintended the election frauds in that city, and who were familiar with the various tricks and devices to defeat the will of the voter at the ballot box, were sent to many of the counties in the state. A Smooth Scheme. They did not succeed in making any such a haul of votes as they did in Denver, but their mission was nevertheless successful. It was not their plan to do what is known as "raw work" in the smaller country precincts, such work was reserved for Las Animas, Pueblo and one or two other places. The plan was to have a little fraud committed in each precinct in the state where the influence of the machine reached the local election officials. An average of ten fraudulent votes in every precinct in the state would mean a total of 15,000. An average of but three bogus votes in each precinct meant 4,500, and these frauds would naturally be so widespread and individually so small that they would be very likely overlooked and ignored by the Republicans. To register an unnaturalized person here and there to get a vote that was in any form illegal or to prevent by any trick or device, legal or illegal, a Republican from voting, was the scheme. It was a "gum shoe" campaign this, and it was carried out to a much greater extent than is generally believed. An Instance. The very small plurality received on the face of the returns by Mr. Ward, Democratic candidate for senator from Boulder, disclosed one of these instances of Democratic fraud in a Republican county, which many Republicans have heretofore believed impossible. Investigation developed the fact that the Lafayette precinct was one of the outside places where the "gum shoe" artists from Denver had gotten in their work. Affidavits from well known people furnished the names of eighty-five Democratic voters who were either unnaturalized or who did not live in the precinct. It was also charged that the Democratic judges (of which there were two instead of one as there should have been in a Republican county precinct) opened the ballot box after it had been sealed for some purpose and that they did it while the third judge (Republican) was absent. The discovery of this fraud was the means of preventing Senator Millard from being robbed of his seat. In Trinidad naturalization frauds were committed and precinct No. 31 was colonized with Italians and other foreigners and the vote almost doubled illegally. It was because of such frauds as these that Senator Barela was given his seat over his Democratic opponent. Questions for Adams. Mr. Adams has been the recipient of another open letter which he no doubt wishes had not been written. Among the questions asked by his public correspondent are the following: "Who was it that tried to prevent the occurrence of Democratic election frauds at the recent election? "The Republican organization, was it not? "Who opposed this action of the Republican organization and its efforts to get the fictitious names stricken from the registration books? "Who was it that opposed the issue of the Supreme Court injunction, commanding election crooks to obey the law? "Who was it that opposed the appointment of Supreme Court watchers, whose duty it was to observe and report to the Supreme Court the work of the Democratic 'Big Mitt' at the polls? "I appreciate that this is an annoying question, for you now 'want the boxes opened.' In fact, it is really embarrassing, but "Was it not the Democratic organization opposed every effort made by the Republican organization to provide means of detecting these frauds? "This question is really deserving of a specific answer." The assembling of the members of the Legislature has furnished an opportunity to make the preliminary "size up" of the general average of the membership. It is but fair to say that the average seems to have been raised several notches. The legislators as a whole are unusually active and brainy looking men, as legislatures go. There are several members of exceptional force and ability in both houses and the people of the state are justified in expecting much from them in the way of sane legislation and good, rapid work. And above all they may be assured that there is no "revolutionary" element among them. There will be armed guards and fortified senates this session, unless Senator Patterson should conclude to declare war and besiege it with his newsboys.

COLORADO CAPITAL NEWS AND WORK OF STATE LEGISLATURE Denver, Jan. 5.—The Senate was able to effect organization yesterday afternoon, adopt rules, elect committees and swear in its employees. An early adjournment was taken at 3:30 p.m., in honor of the late W. S. Buckley, whose desk was draped in mourning. The body was called to order promptly at noon by Lieut. Gov. Warren A. Haggott. Before that hour the galleries and lobby had been filled with spectators. Charles S. Sprague acted as temporary secretary of the Senate. Prayer was offered by Dr. W. T. Jordan, chaplain of the last two sessions. He dwelt particularly upon the fact that since the last session one of the senators, Mr. Buckley, had died. His reference was made in a very touching manner and the remembrance brought sorrow to the hearts of many present who were old friends of Mr. Buckley. The first business brought before the body was a communication from the secretary of state, which was presented by Timothy O'Connor, deputy to Mr. Cowie. The communication consisted of a report of the names of qualified members of the Senate of the Fifteenth General Assembly. The names were: William H. Adams, Morton Alexander, Milton Antenfender, Fred W. Bailey, Webster Ballinger, Casimero Barela, William W. Booth, R. M. Born, Louis G. Campbell, William L. Clayton, Arthur Cornforth, John Crowley, Edward M. De La Vergne, Horace T. DeLong, William A. Drake, John Ewing, Charles Griffith, John J. Marris, Daniel Healy, William A. Hill, Gerald Hughes, B. L. Jefferson, John Kennedy, M. E. Lewis, T. G. McCarthy, H. B. Millard, Richard W. Morgan, James Owen, Fred W. Parks, Frank Pryor, William M. Robertson, Dexter T. Sapp, Edward T. Taylor, Frank R. Wood. Senator Anfenger made a motion that a committee of five be appointed on credentials. The motion carried and the chair appointed Senators De Long, Booth, Pryor, Robertson and Ewing. When the committee returned, Senator De Long made the report. The report stated that the names of the list submitted by the secretary of state was true and correct with the exception of the names of Daniel Healy and R. M. Born. The committee recommended that the list, with the exception of Healy and Born, be adopted. Senator De Long moved that the report be adopted. This was seconded by Senator Anfenger. Senator Taylor moved that the list furnished by the secretary of state, be adopted in place of the committee on credentials report. This was the beginning of considerable discussion. Lieut. Gov. Haggott announced that before putting the matter to a vote he desired to say a few words. "Two years ago," he said, "there was a great deal of turmoll and unlawful acts were committed which I then believed to be unlawful and which I still think were so. I believe the members of this body and the people of the state know the position I took at that time to save the rights of the people. My only thought at that time was to follow the law. What I want to see is justice, and justice to all. "I believe much harm has been done to our beloved commonwealth. This has been brought about not only by labor troubles but by political conditions. While I preside over this body I will do all I can to have the law enforced. "Certain questions came up in the Fourteenth General Assembly, and whether they were settled right or wrong is not for me to determine. I believe they were settled wrong." "The effect of the report of this credentials committee would be to reopen the questions taken up by the Fourteenth General Assembly, and, simply looking at it from a parliamentary standpoint, would mean, as I construe it, the reopening of certain contests. I would hold that a member who did not vote in the affirmative at that time could not vote to re-open questions of this nature." Mr. Haggott ruled that the Senate had no authority to adopt the report of the credentials committee. Senator Owen rose to a point of order. The chair explained that he looked upon the report as an attempt to deprive two members of their seats, referring to Healy and Born. Mr. Owen said he did not understand that the chair had a right to question the contents of a motion. The chair replied that he had a right to go into the effect of a motion. Senators Adams, Hughes, Campbell, Parks, Barela, Clayton and others then indulged in a cross fire of debate concerning the ultimate effect of the original motion and that of Senator Taylor's substitute. In the meantime various other motions were made and points of order taken. The proposition became somewhat muddled, some contending that it would be all right to unseat Born and Healy in such a manner but not to seat McDonald and Dick. Some desired to adopt all of the report except that part referring to Healy and Born. The chair ruled all previous motions out of order. Senator Owen then moved that the temporary roll call be the list furnished by the secretary of state. This was seconded by Senator De Long and the chair put the motion, which was unanimously adopted. This had the effect of retaining the names of Messrs. Healy and Born. Upon motion of Senator Campbell, which was carried unanimously, the chair appointed a committee consisting of Senators Campbell, Owen and Hughes, to wait upon a justice of the Supreme Court, who would swear in the senators. Mr. Hughes stated that he desired to be excused from the duty for personal reasons and Senator Bailey was appointed in his place. The committee returned with Chief Justice Gabbert, who administered the oath. Senator Taylor rose to make a motion after the roll call, saying that he deemed it a fitting time to request the chair to appoint a committee of three to prepare and present appropriate resolutions on the death of Senator Buckley. The motion was carried by a unanimous rising vote. Mr. Taylor then made an additional motion that when the routine business had been transacted the senate should adjourn out of respect for the late member. This was carried. The committee on resolutions appointed by the chair consisted of Senators Taylor, De Long and Griffith. Senator Cornforth moved that the rules of the senate for the Fourteenth General Assembly with certain amendments which he read, be adopted. The motion carried. Senator Campbell offered the following list of employees, all of whom were elected without dissent, afterwards be ing made permanent: Sergeant-at-arms—Charles H. Berry. Secretary—M. Z. Farwell.

Denver, Jan. 5.—Promptly at 12 o'clock L. R. Scott, chief clerk of the special session of the Fourteenth General Assembly, called the house to order. Rev. T. N. Haskell invoked the blessing of God upon the assembly and its work. James Cowie, secretary of state, read the list of members, as certified to by the state board of canvassers. Mr. Keezer of Denver named William H. Dickson as the Republican candidate for speaker. To Mr. Keezer fell the honor of making the first speech of the session in either house. He called attention to the fact that the candidate he named as the first Denver presented for eighteen years. There was no other nomination, so the selection was unanimous. Messrs. Keezer, Stephen and Townsend were appointed a committee to escort the speaker to the chair. Mr. Griffith of Teller moved the selection of E. R. Harper of Gunnison county as the temporary chief clerk. There was no other nomination, the selection being again unanimous. Mr. Stephen moved the appointment by the speaker of a committee of five on credentials. The speaker selected Messrs. Keezer, Hoyt, Stephen, Townsend and McGuire. The committee reported as correct the list published by the secretary of state. The members stood at their seats and were sworn in by Justice R. W. Steele of the Supreme Court. The house then proceeded to the permanent organization. Frank M. Keezer of Denver moved that the temporary speaker be made the permanent speaker. Mr. Hutt of Dolores rose to state that the minority of the House, knowing it was the minority, wished to express its choice for speaker. He named W. W. Rowan of Ouray. Barney O'Connell of Clear Creek seconded the nomination of Mr. Rowan. Mr. Dickson was elected by a vote of 44 to 18, himself voting for his opponent who in turn voted for him. Mr. Breckenridge offered a resolution, which was adopted, naming the employees of the House, as follows: Chief Clerk—E. R. Harper of Gunnison. Assistant Chief Clerk—W. A. Bryans of Denver.

Scotchman's Odd Will Showed He Found Calling Profitable. The Scotch papers of the year 1817 reported at length the life and death of a notable beggar, William Stevenson. About the year 1787 Stevenson and his wife separated upon the strange terms that the first of the two to propose a reunion was to pay the other $500 forfeit. The forfeit apparently was never incurred, as neither of them, as far as could be ascertained, ever saw the other again. Then Stevenson took to the road as a beggar, and lived for thirty years a free and jolly life; but at last, in his 85th year, he was struck down with an incurable disease. When he came within sight of death he sent for a baker and ordered twelve dozen burial cakes, a large quantity of sugared biscuit, and an ample supply of wines and spirits. He next sent for a joiner and instructed him to make "a good, sound, dry, roomy, comfortable coffin," laying the stress upon its comfortableness. Then he summoned a gravedigger and instructed him to dig "a comfortable grave" in a specia spot in Riccarton churchyard. The old woman who attended him was instructed to find in a certain rag hidden in a certain hole the money to defray all these expenses. Having thus relieved his mind of all anxiety as to his posthumous comfort, Stevenson died in peace. After his death were found in his garret two bags—one full of silver and the other of gold pieces—and a box containing bonds for various amounts, including one for $1,500—close upon $5,000 in all. This was bequeathed to distant relatives, with the exception of $100 to the old woman who had attended him, and a large sum to provide a feast for all the begars of Scotland who cared to come to see his body "lie in state." About Connecticut Tobacco. About Connecticut Tobacco. The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco as grown under cheesecloth in Connecticut is one of the romantic episodes of agriculture, says a writer in Country Life in America. A Florida fruit grower had got some tobacco plants that got into his pineapple seed by accident and he noticed that they were taller and of finer texture under the lath shade. The bureau of soils, while surveying the Connecticut valley, found a soil that was practically the same as that of Sumatra, on which the famous tobacco is grown. (The bureau has samples of soil from almost every important agricultural region of the world.) The government got an expert to start an industry and the next two years some of the growers made over 100 per cent profit. The industry as a whole is successful. A large company with plenty of capital is necessary, for it costs $650 to cover and grow an acre of this tobacco. The growers receive from $1.20 to $2.50 a pound for the product. The imported article brings $2.50 to $3.00 and we have been importing about $6,000,000 worth a year. Words of Love. Do you know a heart that hungers? For a word of love and cheer? That much much much us; It may be that one is near. Look around you. If you find it, Speak the word that's needed so, And your own heart may be strengthened. By help you find. Never think kind words are wasted. Bread on waters cast are they. A woman's heart is broken. Coming back to us some day. Coming back when sadly needed. In a time of sore distress; In a time of sorrow; fecely; Gift and giver God will bless. Attorney's Services Valuable. T. D. Shea, an attorney of Nana-coke, Pa., has just returned victor in a curious suit against the Susquehanna Coal company. He sued for $5,000 for legal services during the great coal strike of two years ago. The company, a part of the Pennsylvania railroad system, was unwilling to pay more than $500, claiming that was ample payment for the service rendered. Mr. Shea is over six feet tall and built proportionately. It was held by the counsel that his presence alone among the strikers kept them from harming the company's property. The jury took the same view and awarded him $4,500. Doesn't Want to Die. Dr. Abdul Hikmet, a Turkish resident in Paris, has been requested by the Turkish embassy to return within twenty days to Constantinople, where an order for his execution awaits him. The doctor recently published a violently-worded pamphlet charging the sultan with responsibility for the massacre of non-Mussulmans in the Turkish empire. He has appealed to the French government for protection. Boy Works to Pay Debt. Four years ago a boy of Oakland, Cal., shot and killed a man who had been annoying his sister. He was acquitted, but his trial left him in debt $250. He mortgaged a lot he owned for the amount, paid his lawyers and went to sea on the battleship Iowa. He returned with money enough to pay off the debt with interest and in tends now to work ashore. Picture Postcards Censored. Picture postcards are subjected to stern censorship in some continental countries. In Russia those bearing the portrait of Tolstol have been suppressed. Turkey forbids any postcard bearing the name of 'Allah or Mohammed or the portrait of a Mussulman. France will not permit the designer to ridicule the corpulence of the king of Portugal CONDENSED TELEGRAMS The Japanese government has agreed to negotiate an arbitration treaty with the United States. The Emperor and Empress of Japan held brilliant New Year's ceremonies at the imperial palace. Emperor William sent a long message of congratulation to President Roosevelt on New Year's Day. The Associated Press is authorized to deny the rumored attempt on the life of Emperor Nicholas at Vina. Pasadena, California, held her seventeenth annual Flesta of Flowers, known as the Tournament of Roses, on January 2nd. The permanent exposition in the City of Mexico, which it is expected would be opened on January 1st, will not be opened until February 1st. Several slight shocks of earthquake were experienced in San Francisco on New Year's Day. Plate glass was shattered in a few buildings. The New Year opened with severe gales and blizzards in some parts of Europe. The festivities were badly interfered with in Switzerland and Austria. In a letter made public January 1st Andrew Carnegie offers to give $263,000 to replace the Maryland Institute which was destroyed by fire last February. A Berlin dispatch says that the discontent in the Westphalian coal fields has reached an acute stage, and a general strike affecting 25,000 miners is impending. Andrew Carnegie has approved the plans for the new St. Louis library building and says his cashier has been instructed to honor requisitions up to $1,000,000 for it. Statistics show that more than $230,000,000 worth of property in the United States was destroyed by fire in 1904, making the largest annual ash heap in the history of the country. In a test case in Chicago Judge Charles M. Walker decided that the city of Chicago is not liable for damages growing out of the loss of life in connection with the Iroquois Theatre fire. Justice Olmstead of New York has handed down an opinion in the Court of Special Sessions, holding that the new law against selling or giving away street railway transfers is constitutional. That a cadet at West Point is not an officer of the army in the meaning of the law applying to the dismissal of such officers has just been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. Charles J. Russell, who pleaded guilty at Chicago to having used the mails to promote "wild cat" insurance companies, was sentenced to one year in the House of Correction and to pay a fine of $500. Mrs. Marion Weed, representative of the International Council of Women and the W. C. T. U., who has spent three years studying conditions in Utah, says that "Mormonism without polygamy does not exist." Francis H. Nichols of Chicago died recently in Thibet. He was heading for L'Hassa, the "Forbidden City," and started on his trip long before the British expedition under Colonel Younghusband was formed. In excavating for the foundation of the new National Theatre in the City of Mexico, an ancient fountain has been found covered with hieroglyphics and on which are figures of Indian warriors, priests, etc. The foundations of some ancient buildings of great size also were discovered. James F. Secor, builder of the Mare Island navy yard in San Francisco, the Pensacola navy yard and many of the monitors, ironclads and dry docks which contributed so largely toward putting an end to the Civil War, died in New York City December 28th. He was ninety years old. The introduction to the reports of three prominent physicians whom the New York Herald sent to Cuba to investigate yellow fever, says there had been yellow fever in Cuba every month for 200 years, until the United States took charge, and that it is now reappearing under lax management. Attorney General Hayes of Kentucky has filed a petition for a rehearing in the case of Caleb Powers. The Court of Appeals, in reversing the death sentence, ordered a new trial. The attorney general now asks the Court of Appeals to reverse itself and allow the death sentence to stand. For the first time in many years, according to the Chicago weather bureau, the United States on January 1st enjoyed a New Year's Day without the temperature at any point throughout the entire country touching zero. The nearest approach to the zero mark was at Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where six degrees above zero was reported. The tract to be purchased in Mexico by John Alexander Dowie for a New Zion has a shore line of fifty-two miles, is said to watered by eight rivers and innumerable smaller streams and springs. The soil is fertile and Dowie proposes to raise all manner of crops and tropical fruits for market and especially for the use of the members of his church. John Goff, the well-known guide who conducted President Roosevelt on his hunting trip in Colorado, has made a contract with the United States government to hunt mountain lions and lynx in Yellowstone park. The contract covers a period of four years, and More Goff, a brother of John Goff, is a party to it. For their work the Goffs are to receive $75 a month and a bounty of $5 on each mountain lion they kill. John Alexander Dowie, in addressing his followers in Shiloh Temple, Zion City, January 1st, gave definite confirmation of the report that he proposes to establish a second Zion City. The new Zion City will be located in Mexico, Dowie told his followers, and will occupy a portion of a tract of 1,000,000 acres fronting on the Gulf of Mexico. He announced that he expected to have the Mexican Zion City in full operation before January 1, 1906. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Jenkins—"I didn't care for Holgarth's performance. I believe I could do it as well myself. Robbyns—Mercy? Was it as bad as that?

Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. Wife—Did you notice how full of his subject our pastor was this morning?
