Carrington, as to the Men of the United States The Query Answered "Voice of The Ne By E. W. Carrington, as to the cause of Assault by Black Men of the United States upon White Women. The Query Answered by Miss Burroughs in "Voice of The Negro," of Atlanta. Mr. E. W. Carrington, in the October number of The Voice of the Negro, makes "An Earnest Inquiry" as to the cause of assault by black men of the United States upon white women. After assuring us that he is well posted on the current history of the Negroes of the United States and the West Indies for the past forty-three years, he swings out on this question. "Why is it we do not 'LEARN OR HEAR' of outrages committed by the Negroes of the West Indies upon the white women there?" He says the "opportunity exists. In the first place, because we do not "LEARN OR HEAR" of the crime is no evidence that it is not committed. There are many heinous crimes committed in the West Indies and in the United States of which we do not "HEAR." Is there any law in the West Indies for the punishment of such crime? If so, how long has it existed? What provoked it? Why the law if no such crime was ever committed? Mr. Carrington leaves us to surmise that he is not just clear as to the absence of the crime when he asks, "Why is it that we do not 'HEAR' of it?" The reason we do not "hear" of such crimes in the West Indies is because of the method of punishment. He tells us that the Negro there "is projected by law and absolutely free from mob violence, it matters not what the crime may be. That is just why we do not "HEAR" of the crime. The Negro in the United States who commits such an outrace is not protected by law and he is open to mob violence. The method of punishment in the Island shield the criminal, while the reign of lynch law in the United States is wholly responsible for the publicity of the outrages. The method of dealing with the criminal and nothing more. Stop lynching and you will seldom "hear" of such outrages in the United States. Let the people of the West Indies go into the lynching business and you will "learn or hear" of similar offenses committed by Negro men of the West Indies upon white women. There is no other civilized nation in the world except in the United States, practicing lynching, and no other race except the Negro, being lynched. The exception of itself would give publicity to the act. Mr. Carrington might ask, why is it we do not "hear" of the white men of the United States VOL. XI. Saved By Pa RAC ORAD HE JOURNA the cause of Assault by Black states upon White Women. by Miss Burroughs in agro," of Atlanta. committing outrages upon white or black women? Is it because no such outrages are committed? Not a bit of it. White men in the United States were the first to begin the business of outraging women. They have outraged more women of both races than Negroes will ever outrage. It was alright until the men of another race began to make inroads upon their women, and then no law on the statute book afforded punishment sufficiently severe and they begun the enforcement of an unwritten and unknown law to punish Negroes only. Now why do we not "learn or hear" of outrages by white men? The reasons are obvious. The fact that there was punishment by law, long before the Negro begun his base operations, proves that the white man was at it. Not the absence of the crime but the concealment of it has protected him from public notice. "Lynch him, burn him, and tell the world what a brute he is," was the command given as soon as the Negro begun committing the sin. But over the white man's sin is thrown the mantle of charity. For what? To conceal Anglo-Saxon vice and keep that race on the throne of virtue. To publish such crimes perpetuated by them upon their own women would deprive their women of that protection of which the Anglo-Saxon delights to boast and in which he wants his women to feel secure. The crime is not absent. Go to the court records. Let the thousands of white women whose mouths are shut by pride, speak out. When such crime is brought to the notice of the court, public knowledge of it is absent because the criminal is protected by law and not hounded by a law of civilized savages and swung up, riddled with bullets, tarred and feathered and burned to crisp. Such methods of punishment as are used upon the Negro would certainly furnish interesting reading matter for civilized people, and so the papers publish the news. Another reason we "learn and hear" of such crimes in the United States when committed by Negroes, and the motive for publication is to continue to mould public sentiment against him. The people of this country have been hunting about for the past twenty years for the most dangerous evidence against the Negro to prove to the world that he is a brute, and --- State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, RACE AD OURNAL --- that contact with the white race makes him pompous, and that he is dying to have social equality. These exposures are only to clinch the arguments and make enemies for the Negroes. The class of men, white and black, in the United States or anywhere else, who commit outrages upon women, have no respect for law and order. The same man who will join a mob to lynch a Negro for committing an outrage upon a white woman will outrage a black or white woman any time he makes up his mind so to do. The men who lynch have no more respect for law and order than the men who commit outrages. This class of crime is not confined to race nor country, but is so general that all civilized nations have provided punishment by law for the offense. The Negro of the United States is the target. He is living under the scorching heat of base prejudice, hence we "learn or hear" of his bad deeds by day and by night, while his virtues are seldom mentioned. The more or less perpetual-labor problem has assumed a new phase in the South, where crude labor is of primary importance in connection with the cotton crop. Governor Heyward of South Carolina expresses the belief that immigration of foreigners to the South would solve the race problem and furnish that section with the labor that it lacks so seriously at certain seasons in the cotton fields. In expressing himself upon the labor problem the South Carolina executive declares that the South is "educating the Negro out of the cotton fields." When the Negro acquires a certain amount of knowledge he either emigrates to the North, East or West or becomes a tenant farmer or a land owner. Another thing that has depleted the laboring element is the building of cotton mills in the South. They have drawn the poor whites away from the farms to the looms. That leaves only the Negro to be depended on for farm labor, and the conditions named are depriving the planter of his services. The younger white men of the South are also prone to emigrate, whether they adopt business or the professions. Up to 1900 the two Carolinas were drained of over 400,000 of population. There was some immigration, but the figures here given are in excess of it. The governor of South Carolina, along with other Southerners, is convinced that the Negro makes the ideal farm laborer. First, he is indigenous to the climate. He is generally a good worker. He knows the South, and the South knows him. It is extremely doubtful if any class of foreigners will be found who can take his place. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1905. Labor in the South. To invite immigration to the So. is all very well, says the N. Y. Commercial. It is a country rich in resources, and the increase of population will materially quicken its development. Northern capital is making daily discoveries not only in the Carolinas, but as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. With its constantly growing importance as the world's geeest cotton field, it does appear that during the Negro's elevation from the depths of ignorance he might be made to see that he is a part of the South and that he should stay there to share its increasing prosperity. The South looses when it permits the Negro to emigrate and hopes to supplant him in the cotton fields with an alien race. Class feeling yet exists in the South the difference between people who toil and those who toil not. This is distasteful to the average immigrant, who lands in America with the thought in mind that "one is as good as another," even though that other be the owner of land and has inherited from his English ancestors the tastes, habits and conclusions of Burke's landed gentry. This sentiment barrier grates upon the mechanic from the North or West, whose stay in the South is largely temporary, despite the allurement of good wager. He finds himself graded socially with the advanced Negro who has managed to pick up a trade. Until this caste or class feeling weakens in the South that section will not be popular with immigrants of the desirable class. The other class will prove troublesome, as it has in Pennsylvania, when it gains red blood as the result of an improved supply of food.—Rocky Mountain News. Washington Talks Plainly. New Rochelle, N. Y., March 5th. — "Eschew cheap jewelry. Quit taking $5 buggy rides on $6 a week. Don't put a $5 hat on a five-cent head," was the salutation of Booker Washington to the colored people who gathered in the People's Forum to-day to listen to his lecture on "Successful Training of the Negro." Two thousand persons heard Dr. Washington's lecture, and dozens of times the speaker's voice was hardly audible owing to the applause. Cheer after cheer went up for the lecturer, and while he was passing from the theatre to his carriage hundreds of colored and white men blocked the passage to shake the hand of the colored leader who had dined with the President. "Get a bank account," continued Mr. Washington during his lecture. "Get a home of your own. Get some property. Get a start in the world in some way. What good is it to you Northern Negroes that you live in cities with paved streets if you do not own anything? Do not be satisfied with the shadows of civilization; get some of the substance for yourselves. Just as soon as you do you will be recognized and encouraged, whether you are in the North cr the South." GOV. JAS. H.

Miss Mary Williams, a St. Louis colored girl, who graduated from the Provident Hospital Nurse Training school, has been appointed by the goverment to a position in Oklahoma Territory. New York, March 6.—Because Lucy Thomas, a Negress, and her daughter were not permitted to sit out a Thanksgiving matinee in box seats she had paid for, she sued Percy G. Williams of the Circle theatre for $100 damages under the law making exclusion of any orderly person from a theatre a cause of action and limiting the damages to $100. Mrs. Thomas was awarded that sum in the West Side district court to day, and the case will be appealed. When Mrs. Thomas and her daughter went to the theatre they were told, she says that no seats were available. She then got a white man to buy seats for her, and she and her daughter entered the theatre. Soon after taking their seats, she says, an usher informed her she must return to the box office and "have the coupons stamped." The box office man, the Negress says, kept the coupons and refunded her money. Two cotton planters of Houston county, Texas, have been arrested by Sheriff Payne of Madison county, which is on the other side of Trinity river, for a new kind of peonage. The Madison planters crossed the river and captured two Negroes whom they charged with NO. 25. being indebted to them and with having violated their contracts. Without resort to lay they manacled the Negroes and removed them to their plantation. It is explained by the sheriff that this practice of capturing Negroes when labor is needed on the plantations has prevailed for some time in the lower part of Madison county, where the population is mainly Negro. The captured Negroes are worked only during the cotton planting season and are then released and allowed to return to their own homes, where they support themselves until they are needed again, when they are recaptured. Sheriff Payne has started in to break up the abuse. What's in a Name. It is related that an old colored farmer had an only son and no daughters. He lived in a secluded district, far away from the city. Not only were the girl children scarce at Farmer Green's home, but they were also scarce at the homes of his few neighbors. Farmer Green congratulated himself upon the fact that his little boy, Pompey, had up to his ninth or tenth year never seen more than one little girl in his life. When Pompey was ten years old, one Christmas time, his father took him for the first time to the great city. The first thing that attracted little Pompey's attention was a bevy of pretty girls. Standing behind his father in the rough country wagon, Pompey pointed at the girls and asked: "Dad, what's them vonder?" The old man thinking to turn the little boy's attention away from the subject and to disgust him about the objects about which he inquired, replied: "Son, them's devils; that's what they is—them's devils." When they walked into the great department store where Farmer Green was going to do his Christmas shopping, the farmer's son was more deeply interested in the "devils" he saw flitting here and there about the store than in anything else, though he studiously refrained from asking any questions. After the father had purchased a wooden gun, a toy fireengine, a little red wagon, and sundry other things appropriata for the celebration of the Young American's Christmas, he turned to his son in a very fatherly and condescending fashion and asked: "Now, my son, is there anything else you'd like?" The old man pretty soon realized that all the boy's early training was lost when the boy made answer: "Yes sir; I sho would like to have one o' them devils." ED. LEWIN. Wines, Champagne.

STOCKMEN IN SESSION CATTLE AND HORSE GROWERS Fifth Annual Convention at Denver.—Large and Wide-Awake Gathering.—Will Meet With American Stock-growers in May. Denver, March 16.—The Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association began its fifth annual meeting at the Brown Palace hotel Tuesday with about 100 delegates in attendance. According to the committee report on legislation, there are about four bills now pending, which for the betterment of the stock industry of the state, the association is striving to have passed. They are: S.B.195, giving authority to the State Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners to enforce the dipping of cattle for the mange, and empowering the board, where owners fail to treat their cattle according to the orders of the board, to gather and dip the same, and to sell enough of the cattle so treated to pay the cost. S.B.171, which provides an amendment to the law cutting off the per diem of the members of the board. S.B.172, providing for an appropriation of $70,000 for the Agricultural College Board for experimental purposes. S.B.283, changing the so-called docking bill so as to permit the admission of docked horses into the state for breeding and exhibition purposes. These various bills are being supported by the association, and their passage is expected. In the absence of the president, Hon. Conrad Schafer, who is ill, the convention was presided over by Vice President W. A. Gillaspey of Gunnison. He was later relieved by Robert E. Palm. The address of welcome was delivered by Hon. Alva Adams. The annual report of Fred P. Johnson, the secretary, was then submitted. He reviewed the work of the year. One of the most important matters the association had to deal with, he said, has been the position taken by the Department of Agriculture with regard to mange or scabies. About a year ago the Bureau of Animal Industry issued regulations for the suppression of this disease. The regulations, in brief, provided that no cattle having mange or scabies could be moved in interstate commerce until they had been dipped twice in lime and sulphur under government supervision. There was also a provision that the cattle exposed to infection should be dipped at least once before they could be shipped from the state. "It was not until early summer that the full significance of these regulations became apparent to cattlemen," said Mr. Johnson. "It was discovered that if the regulations were not modified, it would be almost impossible to move any cattle from the state in marketable condition. The position taken by the department in regard to so-called 'exposed' cattle was the cause of the trouble. The government takes the position that where there is one animal having this infection upon any range, all the cattle from the neighborhood must be classed as 'exposed'. The result was that practically no cattle from the eastern part of the state, whether free from mange or not, could be moved until they were dipped, and shippers can readily understand the effect of dipping just before sending to market." Mr. Johnson stated that he, with the secretary of the State Stock Inspection Board, took the matter up with Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry. The result was that instructions were issued to inspectors which were to the effect that where cattle were apparently free from infection, they could move, provided they were not going upon the range. "It seems," continued Mr. Johnson, "that the position of the Agricultural Department has taken will prove most serious upon the commercial side of our industry, unless the department can be made to view it from our standpoint." At the meeting yesterday a resolution was unanimously adopted against steer roping, broncho busting and similar spectacles. These were characterized as brutal to men and animals, degrading and typifying conditions which have passed from the West. New Mexico and Texas have recently passed laws for bidding such spectacles. Resolutions were passed indorsing the work of the Colorado delegation in Congress for its efforts for the cattlemen, and especially praising Congressman F. E. Brooks and Senator T. M. Patterson. The following officers were elected: President, E. M. Ammons of Douglas county; vice president, Fred Light of Pitkin county; treasurer, T. S. Harper of Lincoln county; secretary, Fred P. Johnson of Denver. Following are members of the executive committee: W. H. Pigg, J. E. Painter, H. W. Bronnell, J. W. Bennett, Frank D. Squier, J. R. Smith, H. B. Means, Samuel Hartsel, N. S. Hurd, Chris. Manhart, H. Bon Hagan, L. H. Easterly, W. P. Blanchard, H. W. Lord, A. B. Foster, G. E. Trout, E. McCrillis, Peter Thorberg, L. H. Field, A. F. Crowe and Frank Benton. At a meeting of the executive committee it was decided to work for the Alexander-Duncan railroad bill now before the Colorado Legislature, and to try to secure from the railroads a halffare freight rate for pure bred stock brought into Colorado for distribution. The committee decided to meet with the American Stock Growers' Association in May, the members of the committee all being appointed delegates. About seventy-five other delegates from the association will be named. Cause of Russian Defeats. St. Petersburg, March 16.—M. Kirilloff, one of the Associated Press Russian correspondents who was wounded at Liao Yang, describing the causes of the Russian defeats, has drawn a powerful picture of the complete criminal lack of knowledge on the part of the Russians of the country and the enemy's movements, and of the utterly imprudent gossip and babbling which acquaints the Japanese with every movement and plan before they are inaugurated. He compares the Russian army to a powerful yokel moving forward blindfolded, wildly brandishing his arms and shouting aloud what he will do to the enemy when he catches CONDENSED TELEGRAMS The anti-prize fight bill was defeated in the California Legislature.

On March 14th Ed and Will Ptomey, negroes, who, the day before, shot and fatally wounded Prof. Claude Hardy at Pine Apple, Alabama, were caught by a mob of citizens in a house near Alenton, Alabama, where they had barricaded themselves, and were taken to a nearby swamp and hanged. Spinal meningitis is killing forty people a week in New York City and reports from cities and towns in Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania show that New York is not alone in fighting against the ravages of this dread disease, which kills about fifty per cent. of all those attacked by it. The band of Yaqui Indians who recently held up and robbed the Mazatlan stage of $15,000, was overtaken near Tecuala by a force of rural police. In the fight that ensued three of the Indians were killed and two captured. Capt. Joseph E. Maciel of Acaponeta was seriously wounded in the engagement. Governor Folk of Missouri granted a respite of thirty days to William Rudolph, convicted of the murder of Detective Charles Schmucker, at Union, Missouri, and sentenced to 18 angued March 17th.

Most of them are employed at the northern fisheries, earning during the season about $200 per man. This year, owing to the poverty of the men, the contractors, it is said, only offer $140, and this prevents the men signing up. If other classes of men are signed it will leave the Chinese destitute in the city. Gen.

Three thousand miles without a stop and at the rate of 100 miles or more an hour, is claimed to be the capacity of a new type of locomotive which has been ordered by the Southern Pacific railroad. It is expected that the cost of operating will be less than one-half that of the present type of engines. Fuel oil costing three or four cents a gallon will be used and water tanks and coal shoots can be dispensed with on the line. As a result of the fight against the Standard Oil Company in Kansas, elaborate plans for the erection by independent companies of pipe lines and refineries are reported to be in progress. J. B. and A. L. Levy, oil men formerly from the Lima, Ohio, field, are credited with having planned the erection of a refinery. Kansas City for the production of fuel oil, the crude product to be piped from Kansas. The plans call for an outlay of three-quarters of a million dollars and a daily output of 200,000 barrels of crude oil. ABOUT INDIAN DAY SCHOOLS. They Are Doing Great Work in Civilizing the Red Man. The Indian day schools are centers of interesting things uplifting to a needy people, says a writer in the Southern Workman. They are home object lessons of cleanliness, industry and thrift. They teach industries suitable to the environment in which the children live. They strengthen home ties by requiring parents to care for their offspring. They give teachers an opportunity to study the conditions of the Indian home and to better them. They are distributing points for medicine and good counsel. They silently but unobtrusively break down opposition to American dress and customs. Above all, they keep the Indians at home. Some teacher has said that if the day schools did no more than keep the Indians at home they would be worth all they cost. These schools should have the best and most valuable Christian men and women in the service. They should have a man for teacher with his wife for housekeeper and these must be provided with a good home. One of my Indian neighbors came to me and asked to be taught how to make light bread. She brought her flour and was shown how to make the sponge. This she took home and the next morning the writer went to her house, showed her how to knead the bread, how to make it into loaves and how to bake it, but after some time the woman brought the dough to the teacher's home, requesting her to bake it for her. After all was finished she said: "Well, this is all a great deal of trouble and it takes altogether too long. When we want bread we want it right away." Another neighbor remarked: "The light bread is like a sponge, nothing to it." Tamagno Declines Honor.

Miss Rose Gerbing, a popular society ‘woman of Crown Point, Ind., writes: “Recently I took a long drive in the country, and being too thialy clad I caught a bad cold which settled on my Tungs, and which I could not seem. to skake off. I had heard a great deal of Peruna for colds and catarrh and I bought a bottle to try. I am pleased that I did, for it brought speedy relief.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Perunais perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without ac- quiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results, It is perma- nent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradual’y eliminates catarrh by re- moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a nar- cotie nature. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. Again "We have met the enemy and they are ours." RIGHT WINS No class of citizens have watched the gubernatorial contest with more interest than have the colored people. Having actively worked for the election of the governor and almost unanimously supported him at the polls, they earnestly prayed that he should win out when his seat seemed endangered as a result of gigantic and extensive Democratic frauds. On the one hand they recognized in Governor Peabody the candidate of the forces standing for law and order, for peace and prosperity. On the other hand, they saw arrayed in serried and solid ranks behind his opponent all the dissatisfied, all the turbulent, all the restless and dangerous units and organizations which infest the state and disturb its peace and harmony. The Colorado Statesman, the sole Republican organ of the colored people in Denver, early and earnestly enlisted in this great struggle. In every issue it urged them to do their whole duty to the Republican party. It unceasingly pointed out the great necessity for the re-election of the governor and strenuously refuted and counteracted the sophistries which a colored Democratic sheet of this city used in exhorting the colored voters to support Alva Adams. The Colorado Statesman reaches nearly every colored family in the city and state, and there can be no doubt that many a colored voter was strengthened and kept in line for the present governor through the earnest appeal made by this paper. Now that the victory is finally and completely won it might not be inopportune or indelicate to say that this element of the Republican party feels that it ought to receive substantial and fitting recognition at the hands of the governor. And without assuming to dictate, it may be suggested that the recipients should be persons whose Republicanism is unquestioned and who have worked for the party, not merely posed, who have followed its fortunes through sunshine and storm and in evil and in good report. In the last campaign some colored men who had affiliated with the Democratic party for years, who had organized colored men for Democratic campaign work, and who held positions for several years under Democratic administrations, assumed in returning to the party to dictate what colored men should be rewarded. Their influence for this purpose has hitherto been seen to be nit. Yet it may be opportune right here to remind the party that men of this class wield very little influence over the voters, and concessions to them are merely encouragement to traitors. There are enough good, true, unwavering and hardworking colored Republicans to fill positions without resorting to the ranks of quasi Democrats either to supply such places or for advice as to whom they shall be given. It is to be hoped the recognition, whatever it may be, will be something of a higher character than anything yet given to the col- ored race by a Colorado chief executive PEABODY IS GOVERNOR. Governor James H. Peabody has at last come into his rightful inheritance. Elected by a safe and comfortable majority of the legal votes cast on the 8th of November, 1904, it required more than four months, owing to Democratic election frauds and subsequent political chicanery, to clearly show to the people of the state and fully satisfy them that he was undoubtedly chosen by them to be his own successor in the office of governor. After a most thorough and impartial investigation by a joint ballot committee of the Legislature, operating under a specific provision of the state constitution, this has been abundantly done. The proof is of such convincing and overwhelming force that public excitement had long since calmed down and given place to the popular demand that Alva Adams be ousted from an office obtained through fraud, and that the rightful owner be seated. About two weeks ago the committee made their reports to the General Assembly in joint session, the majority report finding that Peabody was elected and recommending his being seated; the minority insisting that Adams was rightfully entitled to retain the office which he was occupying by virtue of the prima facie returns; while a third and a fourth report, signed by two or three Republican members of the committee expressed the opinion that neither the contestor nor the contestee was elected, and that Lieutenant Governor McDonald should be declared governor. The consideration of these various reports naturally and necessarily consumed a great deal of time. The contention of the conflicting factions waxed warm and fierce. Criminations and recriminations filled the air. All sorts of rumors became current and were greedily gobbled up by the overcredulous. But the Republican majority, calm, cool and sure of the truth and justice of its cause, remained unshaken. It afforded the other elements every facility to present their case in the most favorable view, both before the people and the courts. Delays, caucusing and adjournments seemed to be the order, aim and end of things. The report signed by Mr. Griffith and one or two other Republicans, expressing doubt as to the sufficiency of fraud unearthed, was promptly disposed of. Alexander's proposition to decide there was no election and declare the lieutenant governor to be the governor, was submitted to the Supreme Court, under a provision of the state constitution, for their opinion. The court held this could not be legally done. So the rubbish and debris having been all cleared away and the ship stripped for action, so to speak, the only question that remained was, who was rightfully entitled to be seated as governor, James H. Peabody, the contestor, or Alva Adams, the contestee? There could be but one answer. It came about 4:30 p. m. Thursday. That was recorded in favor of the contestor by the decisive vote of 55 against 41. Thus truth, justice and equity are triumphant. Governor Peabody is to be heartily congratulated on the high and unyielding attitude he firmly and consistently maintained throughout this contest. He did not want the office unless it was plainly shown he was clearly elected to it by a majority of the genuine and legal votes cast. This highly unselfish and patriotic stand has received its just and merited reward. The governor enters upon his second term under most happy auspices. In his past administration he had to deal with a chronic condition of strikes, rioting, general disorder and paralyzing terrorism. Red anarchy, in fact, had its vice-like grip upon the state, and there seemed to be no hope. Governor Peabody might well be disheartened. He was not. He set to work on the tremendous task before him and, after a stubborn fight, evoked order and harmony out of what appeared to be hopeless chaos. With his natural equipment he has of the conditions in Colorado, we confidently predict that he will give the state a most efficient and successful administration, and one which will commend itself to all elements and classes of citizens. ```markdown ``` SEATING OF PEABODY VOTE FIFTY-FIVE TO FORTY-ONE Will He Resign? Is Now the Question —Is Said to Have So Promised— But Partisans Insist on His Remaining in Office. Denver, March 17.—The Republican this morning says: "Governor James H. Peabody, who was vindicated yesterday afternoon by his party, has determined to resign. He so announced last night. It may be that he will submit his resignation to the secretary of state to-day or tomorrow, but if he takes the advice of his stanchest friends he will hold until the legislative session ends. Chairman D. B. Fairley of the Republican state central committee is opposed to the governor resigning at all. "To-day a conference will be held by the leading Republicans of the state and Governor Peabody will leave the matter with them. If he consulted his own desires he would step aside before the week ends." When the joint assembly had been called to order by Lieutenant Governor McDonald at 10:20 a. m., yesterday, Senator Parks was first to speak: "In view of the decision of the Supreme Court," he said, "I presume that Senator Alexander would like to withdraw the report he filed from the contest committee. If he desires to do so I would ask that he be given the opportunity." Objection was made to the withdrawal of the report but the assembly permitted it by a vote of 65 to 32. Representative Griffith then moved the adoption of the report he had submitted from the contest committee. The question arose as to the time to be allotted to debates. The lieutenant governor ruled that each member could have ten minutes and no more and that his whole ten minutes must be used at one time. There was to be no bookkeeping. When a member had made his speech he was through, whether he took one minute or ten. On his own motion Senator McCarthy was excused from voting on the main question. The Griffith report was voted down, receiving fourteen votes. The question was then upon the Adams report, many senators and representatives taking part in the debate. When the roll was called the Adams report was rejected by a vote of 58 to 38. All the Democrats voted for the report and the Republicans who voted with them were Senator Ewing and Representatives Garcia, Hurd, Johnson, Wilder, Metz and Stewart. Representative Griffith, chairman of the contest committee took up his own report and said his action in signing it had not been hasty, but was the result of honest conviction that James H. Peabody was not elected. Therefore, he said, he would cast his vote against the majority report. Representative Hurd read from a note he held in his hand asking if it was a greater crime to steal the state for Peabody than to steal it for McDonald. He compared the testimony brought in for Mr. Peabody to that which convicted Dreyfus in France. With the passing of time he believed would be established the justice of Alva Adams's claim to the governorship. Representative Thomas, in support of Peabody, said: "The election machinery of Denver is now, and has been for six years past, in the hands of the most desperate gang of criminals that ever infested any civilized community. The last six years will always be known as the 'Reign of Terror.'" "I want to say to you, gentlemen, that the time never was, and is not now, that the Democratic party could in a fair election elect a single candidate to any office in this city and county." "They organized the most damnable conspiracy ever organized in any city on the American continent to steal the election in 1902, and did steal it by a system of frauds and ballot box stuffing so stupendous and so appalling that the exposure thereof by the Congress of the United States brought a blush of shame and disgrace to every Coloradan. "We now come to the election of 1904, in which a desperate band of pirates and election thieves, as desperate a band of pirates as ever roamed the sea or scuttled a ship, attempted to steal the election of the governor of the state of Colorado. This band of pirates was headed by Frank Adams, the president of the Fire and Police Board of the City and County of Denver, the district attorney and the majority of the election commission. "The election commissioners took office in May, 1904. They immediately set to work to make up a registration list of voters for the fall election, and placed upon the list thousands upon thousands of fictitious and fraudulent names, so that when the list was completed there were upon that list 85,000 names, many, many thousands more than any list that had ever before been prepared. "The district attorney of this city and county had, during the four years which he had occupied the office, refused to prosecute any election thief; he was a candidate for re-election and the thieves felt entirely secure." Many other speeches were made on both sides. Senator Taylor was the last speaker. He opposed Mr. Peabody's claims, and said: "I want to warn you that this state is not Kentucky, and its people will hold you responsible for stealing this office. Everybody knows there was repeating last fall. But so there was last spring. Why did you join in the charter election if you are so horrified at fraud? That election was unspeakably rotten, made so because the forces which are stealing this governorship were back of that ejection!" The vote on the majority report, which resulted in the seating of Mr. Peabody, stood 55 to 41. Governor Peabody was notified and appeared before the Assembly to take the oath of office, which was administered by Justice Gabbert. In a short address Governor Peabody said he was tired of abuse and heartseats at the treachery of some of his political friends. We have been established in the seed business thirty-five years.

Interfered With Her Social Duties and Threatened to Cause Her Retirement—How She Was Cured. Every sufferer from nervous headache knows how completely it unfits one for the duties and pleasures of life. Any little excitement, or over-exertion, or irregularity brings it on. Sometimes the pain is over the whole head. Again it is like a nail driven into the brain, or a wedge splitting it open, or a band tightening about it. At one time it is all in the top of the head, at another it is all at the base of the skull. Most headaches can be traced to some faulty state of the blood. When the blood is scanty or charged with poison, and the nerves are imperfectly nourished and the digestion weak, one of the commonest results is frequent and severe headaches. The important thing is to get rid of the diseased condition of the blood that causes the attack by the use of a remedy that will do the work quickly and thoroughly. What is that remedy? The experience of Miss Ellen McKenna furnishes the answer. She says: "For more than seven years I was a great sufferer from nervous headache and dizziness. My stomach was disordered, and I became so restless that I could not sit still any length of time. Dizziness interrupted my work greatly. At first the attacks were not so severe, but they gradually grew more violent, and finally became so acute that I was on the point of relinquishing my membership in the different organizations to which I belonged." "What saved you from that necessity?" "A very simple thing; the call of a member of one of the clubs, who strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills before giving up. I acted on her suggestion at once, and after steadily using this great blood and nerve remedy for two months, my headaches and my dizziness entirely disappeared. Miss McKeena is secretary of the Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many hundreds of similar cases, and can be confidently recommended to drive all poisons from the blood and to give needed strength to the nerves. Every druggist keeps them. "Yes," remarked Mrs. Malaprop, "It was a grand sight. First came the king, carrying a spectre in his hand and wearing a beautiful red mantle all trimmed with vermin. It was a grand sight." COMMISSIONER GARFIELD'S REPORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY. The report of Commissioner Garfield on the beef industry has at last been published. It must be somewhat of a surprise to those who have been indulging in wholesale adverse criticism upon the methods of the Chicago packers, as it discloses facts and figures which clearly show that the great food producers have been innocent of the serious offenses with which they have been charged. They have been for a long time accused by newspapers all over the country of extortionate prices demanded, and obtained, of depression of values of cattle at the various stockyards where their business is conducted, of enormous profits wholly disproportionate to the capital employed, and, in general, of so carrying on their business that the public, under an organized system of spoliation, were being robbed for their exclusive benefit. We find now, however, that not a single one of these charges has been sustained but, on the contrary, that rigid and searching investigation, officially made, has resulted in complete acquittal. Instead of extortion it is shown that no industry can be found where so narrow a margin of profit prevails—the actual records and original entries, to which the commissioner had free access, showing that the highest net profit any of the packers made on their sales of beef was two and three-tenths per cent in 1902 and in one instance that the profit realized in 1904 was one and eight-tenths per cent. 1. variations in the market prices for cattle are exhaustively treated and no evidence of any kind was discovered, or even hinted at, tending to show that values of cattle are in the slightest degree improperly affected or controlled by packers at any of the chief centers of the industry. On the whole, the report completely dissipates the prevalent idea that great fortunes are being amassed by illegal and improper methods ployed by western packers, she said that notwithstanding the high price for beef prevailing in 1902 the business was less, remunerative than in years characterized by normal values, both for cattle and product. He says "that the year 1902, instead of being one of exorbitant profits, as has been commonly supposed, was less profitable than usual. In fact, during the months when the prices of beef were the highest, some, at least, of the leading packers were losing money on every head of cattle slaughtered. It was not possible to advance the prices of beef in full proportion to the great advance in the prices of cattle et that time." After all that has been written reflecting upon the great business interest engaged in the marketing and distribution of the product of one of the greatest of our national industries, it is gratifying to all fair minded people that the prejudiced attacks upon it have failed of verification; and the great western packers may be congratulated for having passed through such a searching and thorough official investigation unsmirched. The results of this investigation, based as it is upon exhaustive data, officially obtained and verified by United States government experts, must be accepted without hesitation, as the investigation was made under circumstances that guaranteed complete accuracy with a possible disposition indeed. to arrive at entirely different results. CAPTURED TIE PASS BRIEF REPORT VIA NEW CHWANG Japanese Repulsed by General Mistchenko With Terrible Loss—Japanese Have Resumed Flanking Tactics. New Chwang, March 16.—The Japanese occupied Tie Pass Wednesday at Midnight. Santoupu, March 16.—A sanguinary combat occurred March 14th on the center advanced line of the Russian army eight miles south of Tie Pass. The Russians repulsed the attack and even made a small advance through 1,000 corpses of Japanese, advancing a large force on the right flank, where General Mistchenko, who has taken command of his detachment though his wound is not yet healed, is holding the Japanese in check. The troops have regained their normal spirits and fight cheerfully. The office of censor has been removed to Santoupou, eight miles north of Tie Pass, as existence at Tie Pass for civilians is almost impossible. Practically all the newspaper correspondents have left for Harbin. For several nights the Associated Press correspondent has slept without covering on the frosty ground and for two days he had nothing to eat. St. Petersburg, March 16, 2 a. m.—Flanking tactics by the Japanese apparently are in progress again, the Associated Press correspondent who remained at Tie Pass telegraphing that General Mistchenko March 14th engaged a Japanese force on the Russian right. It is possible that the attacking force was a Japanese column which disappeared from observation during the battle of Mukden. The Japanese do not appear to have renewed the frontal attack up to noon yesterday, the demonstration Tuesday having shown that the Russians were prepared to make a determined resistance. St. Petersburg, March 16.—It is now definitely stated that Emperor Nicholas has approved the decision of the Council of War to send Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch to replace General Kuropatkin, as the best means of putting a stop to the intrigues and jealousies among the generals of the army, both at St. Petersburg and at the front. General Soukhomlinoff will be chief of staff. St. Petersburg, March 16.—According to Chinese reports, the governor of Mukden gave a banquet in honor of the Japanese generals after their triumphal entry into the city and a Russian journalist wires that with the occupation of Mukden by the Japanese Russia's prestige with the Chinese has been utterly destroyed. Santoupu, Manchuria, March 15.—It is rumored that after the evacuation of Mukden by the Russians, eighty foreigners were killed by Chinese, including Richard H. Little, correspondent of the Chicago News. Chicago, March 15.—Mr. Little cabled direct from Yinkow yesterday to the Chicago News. He said he had been captured by the Japanese and was being taken to Kobe. The cablegram contained references which demonstrated that the message was from Mr. Little, personally, and that he was alive and well. Yinkow is the seaport of New Chwang and is the place where Little would naturally be taken en route to Japan. ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT By Joint Session on Governorship Contest. Denver, March 16.—It is claimed this morning by both morning papers, the News and Republican, that an agreement was made yesterday between the Peabody Republicans and the Republicans who want Lieutenant Governor McDonald for governor that Mr. Peabody's contest for the governorship against Alva Adams, the present incumbent, is to be decided to-day in favor of Mr. Peabody, and that he has promised to resign within twenty-four hours, turning over the office to McDonald. When the joint session was called to order yesterday morning every member responded to his name. Representative Hurd sent a petition to the desk, stating that it was from the people of Pueblo. Senator Owen claimed that no member had the right to put in a petition at the time, but he might have it read as a part of his remarks. Representative Hurd demanded as a question of right that the petition be read. He said it was a right established by the Congress of the United States more than three-quarters of a century ago by John Quincy Adams. Representative Cannon said the objection was not intended to be discourteous to Mr. Hurd. It was made because the introduction of memorials and petitions at the time might operate to hold the session together indefinitely. He would guarantee that a petition might be circulated in Denver for either side and be signed by half the people of the city. Mr. Hurd withdrew his petition for the time, saying he would bring it in again in the afternoon. Senator Booth moved that a recess be taken to 2:30 o'clock. There was opposition at first, but it melted away until the recess was taken by almost unanimous consent. At 2:30 p. m. the first assembly met and immediately adjourned until 10 a. m. to-day. Mrs. Stanford Not Poisoned. Honolulu, H. I., March 16—The following joint statement signed by Dr. Jordan and Mr. Hopkins, who sailed to-day for San Francisco, was left with Judge Smith, with instructions to release it after the sailing of the Alameda: "In our judgment, after a careful consideration of all the facts brought to our knowledge, we are fully convinced that the death of Mrs. Stanford was not due to stychnine poisoning, nor to intentional wrong-doing on the part of any one. We find in the statements of those who were with Mrs. Stanford in her last moments no evidence that any of the characteris- the symptoms of stychnine poisoning were present." THE DENVER TRAGEDY THE DENVER TRAGEDY DETAILS OF THE AWFUL CRIME Murdered Man and Murderer Had Been Bosom Friends—Two Innocent Families Bereft—Deed Done in an Insane Passion of Rage. Denver, Colo., March 14.—Following are some of the incidents of the terrible tragedy in Denver Sunday when George Shissler shot and killed Kay Sill and his wife and wounded Police Captain William Bohanna, Police Surgeon Frank Dulin and Frank Kelly, driver for Sill. Shissler and Sill had worked together in the Denver & Rio Grande shops and had been close friends. Some three years ago they jointly purchased five acres of land in what is known as the Park Hill addition, in the eastern suburbs of the city. Both had been careful and their investments had proved to be successful. Two small but comfortable brick houses were built, two barns were added to the joint estate and gardens and cow pastures contributed to the contentment of the two families. Sill lived with his family, consisting of a wife and two daughters, Frances, aged ten, and Josephine, aged fourteen. Shissler seemed to be equally contented in his new home with his wife and five children, Spencer, a baby of four years; Charles, aged ten; Blanche, aged thirteen; Frank, aged fifteen, and Harry, aged eighteen. Finally an estrangement grew up between the two men. They agreed to divide the property and quarreled over a division fence, becoming involved in a law suit in which the decision was in favor of Sill. About 10 o'clock Sunday morning Shissler telephoned to his attorney, Mr. Hilliard, and is said to have been advised to pay the judgment against him. He went back home and came out into his front yard with a shot-gun. Sill was talking with David Baldridge and William Brannen, who were in front of his house with a carriage. Shissler called out to Sill and immediately shot him. Baldridge's horse started to run and Shissler fired at Baldridge and Brannen. Then he shot Sill again, inflicting a wound that must have been instantly fatal. Frank Kelly, who was in Sill's barn, started on horseback to summon help, and Shissler shot at him, inflicting a flesh wound in his left leg. Shissier then went to the barn, where he found Charles and John Lundeen, who live in the neighborhood and who testified for Mr. Sill in the different law suits brought by Shissler. He put the muzzle of his rifle against the temple of Charles Lundeen, a boy of twenty, and made him get down on his knees and beg for mercy. When the shooting began Mrs. Sill ran around in front of her home and her daughter, Josephine, aged fourteen, ran diagonally across the street to the home of James H. Fitzpatrick, 2882 Monroe street, 100 yards away, screaming that Shissler had killed her father. Josephine Fitzpatrick, a young lady of twenty-two, who is a teacher in Wallace's business college, ran quickly to the Sill home. Shissler turned his gun on the woman and sald, "Get into the house, you scabs." Shissler fired into the different rooms of the house and Miss Fitzpatrick and Frances Sill crawled under a bed to hide. Mrs. Sill tried to run to the Fitzpatrick home and Shissler ordered her to stop. Dropping on her knees, Mrs. Sill raised her hands pleadingly toward Shissler and begged that her life be spared. "Spare my life! Please spare it! for the sake of my children!" sobbed the woman pitifully. "You have killed my husband, and they will have no one to care for them if you kill me. O, please spa—" A bullet punctuated the sentence, Cruelly it sped on its terrible mission shattering the bone in the woman's right leg immediately below the knee. Mrs. Sill staggered a few steps and dropped to the ground. Shissler went back and broke into the room where the two girls were hiding. Not finding them, though he poked his gun under the bed, he carried coals and set the bed on fire. He left the room and they ran to the Fitzpatrick house. The fire caused the destruction of the building. Shissler went out and shot Mrs. Sill a second time with a revolver, which he placed against her head, killing her instantly. Meanwhile Messrs. Baldridge and Brannen had driven to where they could telephone to police headquarters, Captain Bohanna immediately ordered out the police ambulance. Dr. Frank Dulin, police surgeon, and Patrolmen John Phillips and Frank Mulligan were detailed to go with Captain Bohanna. Patrolman C. T. Power, who had been on house duty during the forenoon, and who was just departing for his home, volunteered his services. The ambulance was driven by Sydney McClanathan, the regular driver. When they arrived at the scene of the tragedy Shissler retreated into his yard, placed the rifle barrel on the fence, took careful aim and fired at the men on the seat. The first bullet cut a hole across the top of Captain Bohanna's felt hat. "About!" commanded Captain Bohanna. Before McClanathan could respond there came a fusillade from Shissler. A dozen shots must have been fired before the horses were finally turned. The second shot caught Captain Bohanna in the right hip; then another bullet caught Dr. Dullin in the right leg and another bullet pierced the body of the "off" horse just back of the forelegs. After this shooting a great crowd of people gathered. Sergeant Patterson appeared with a force of policemen and Sheriff Armstrong also came with several officers. They fired into the house in which Shissler had barricaded himself, firing rapidly at first to keep them at bay. Finally a wagon loaded with bales of hay was pushed toward the house in front of some of the officers, who rushed to the door and broke it down. Shissler was found inside, shot through the head.

FOX'S LETTER In All Parts of the United States Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Has Effected Similar Cures. Many wonderful cures of female illis are continually coming to light which have been brought about by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., which is given to sick women absolutely free of charge. Mrs. Pinkham has for many years made a study of the ills of her sex; she has consulted with and advised thousands of suffering women, who to-day owe not only their health but even life to her helpful advice. Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "I suffered for a long time with womb trouble, and finally was told by my physician that I had a tumor on the womb. I did not want to submit to an operation, so wrote you for advice. I received your letter an did as a response, I am completelyured. My doctor says the tumor has disappeared, and I am once more a well woman. I believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the best medicine in the world for women." The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks nothing in return for her advice.

Pie, the Great American Dessert, Especially in New England. "Pie is consumed chiefly by the native Americans," said Clerk Fortune, of Chicago, to the Milwaukee Sentinel. "Foreigners eat very little of it. A German, for example, might eat three pies a year, while a good Yankee would consume as many in a week. The English, the Italians and the French are small pie eaters. The English eat plum pudding and the Italians like fruit. New England and the Middle states constitutes the area of greatest consumption, but the pie belt extends far beyond that, as pie is extensively eaten all through the West. Pie is eaten much more generally in the North than in the South. Chicago is a great pie center. St. Louis is not so good. Milwaukee also ranks low. One would not think that there are means for ascertaining the facts in regard to pie consumption, but I have gathered statistics on the subject during the past two years which enables me to compute with reasonable correctness the consumption of pies in every state in the Union. Pies are made in greater varieties than formerly, and the supplies are brought from greater distances—in fact, from all parts of the world. The season of pies made from green fruit have been prolonged and pies are made of canned fruit the year round. The time-honored mince pie has become a Christmas dessert whose place is sure and beyond dispute. There is no export trade in pies, because in crossing the ocean the crust would become soggy, which, of course, is the reverse of the desired condition. It is a fact which would surprise many persons, however, that pies are often shipped hundreds of miles across this country." Found at Last Alston, Mich., March 13th.—(Special.)—After suffering for twenty years from Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles, and spending a fortune in doctors and medicines that brought him no relief, Mr. James Culet of this place has found a complete cure for all his aches, pains and weakness, in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Naturally Mr. Culet feels much elated over his cure and gives great credit to the remedy that gave him health. "Yes," Mr. Culet says, "my rheumatism and Kidney Troubles are all gone and I feel like a new man. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Before I used them I spent a small fortune on doctors and one remedy and another. I cheerfully recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to anyone suffering from Rheumatism or Kidney Trouble." Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure sick kidneys. Healthy kidneys take all the uric acid—the cause of Rheumatism—out of the blood. That's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Rheumatism. Noxious Coloring in Butter. Professor Wiley of the Bureau of Chemistry at Washington, who is conducting the adulterated food experiments, complains that he is utterly unable to procure for his purpose any uncolored butter. He also denounced the use of the coal tar dyes with which butter is colored, saying that they "overburden the kidneys." This is an instructive comment on the United States laws which prohibit the coloring of artificial butter, even with palm oil, which is perfectly wholesome, but permit the coloring of genuine butter with coal tar dyes or anything else. DISFIGURED BY ECZEMA. Wonderful Change in a Night—In a Month Face Was Clear as Ever —Another Cure by Cuticura. "I had eczema on the face for five months, during which time I was in the care of physicians. My face was so disfigured I could not go out, and it was going from bad to worse. A friend recommended Cuticura. The first night after I washed my face with Cuticura Soap, and used Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent, it changed wonderfully. From that day I was able to go out, and in a month the treatment had removed all scales and scabs, and my face was as clear as ever. (Signed) T. J. Soth, 317 Stagg Street, Brooklyn, N. Y." "He's spent a lot of money on Sue in the past six months." "Yes, a long engagement makes a fellow short." 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 $ \frac{4}{4} $ -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. What becomes of the money a man saves by not smoking? * Write for our Knowledge Book, A Schilling & Company, San Francisco. Mrs. Fannie D.

Denver, Colo. 1 FOIBLES OF FASHION If a woman has sharp or decidedly prominent features let her avoid hats that are set back or off the face. Such a woman should wear a hat brought well forward, and hair should be as fluffy as possible, and a becoming veil will do wonders. Sharp outlines in hats should also be avoided by her. Lace edges and indented trims are good. If the features are irregular, a hat with the brim crushed here and there is usually a suitable setting. The woman with a prominent nose has much to contend with. Her hats should avoid severeness in outline and should be set well forward, so that the prominent feature will appear a little less in size. On the other hand the woman with a small or flat nose should not wear a hat that projects sufficiently to make the nose appear even more insignificant, nor a large hat that dwarfs it. A hat under medium in size, and with small flowers or short tips, or rows of moderate size should be worn. With a small face and features huge picture hats should never be worn, even if the figure be tall and slight enough to carry them. Visiting Toilette. Reseda green cloth with trimmings of green velvet and green braid. Vogue of the Bolero The smartest dressmakers and tailors assert that the bolero is designed to take the place of the very long coat which was so much in vogue last season. However, few women still cling to the long semi-fitting coats, blouse coats and loose house coats with vests, belts and short basques. Heavy hand embroidery, openwork inset combined with raised embroidery, with an added outlining of soutache linen braid, are fancies of the moment- Separate Waists. The separate waist holds a place of honor in the early showings of the specialty shops. There is nothing to take the place of the dainty white waist as the "dominant third" of the three-piece suit. Fashion has failed to fill its place with the waist of lace or chiffon or crepe de chine exactly matching the color of the suit. The lingerie waist is preferred to that of silk or satin. It is a lingerie waist that differs markedly from its predecessors of last season. It shows far less fullness and has scarcely a suggestion of blousiness. The woman of full figure wears her blouse drawn down into the belt or girdle quite trimly, while she of more girlish lines has its scant fullness shirred into the belt-in a manner that suggests graceful curves without the appearance of bagginess that all slim sisters adopted a season or so ago. The finest of handkerchief linens is chosen to fashion these delightful lingerie blouses. Important Point. An important point which the home dressmaker must learn is not to depend too closely on her pattern. A professional dressmaker, as a rule, builds her garment from a well-fitting lining, but trims and drapes and adds the accessories without any aid but her own ingenuity. The amateur usually buys a pattern, and is afraid to altar it by so much as a hair's breadth for fear the result will not be satisfactory. This fear of being original is what makes so many garments have the "home made" look, and it should be combatted by the worker trying her hand at making a garment after her own ideas, using at first some cheap material easy to handle, which, if it is spilled, will count for just so much experience gained, instead of being a total loss. Money will be saved in the purchase of patterns, and the worker will soon find that by following out her own ideas she will save likewise on material and on time. One home dressmaker bought a nine-gored skirt pattern last spring and several skirts of different styles were evolved from that foundation. In one, the second and fourth shoes were cut off at the knee and a SIMPLE AND FUSSY PHASES OF THE ODD BODICE. R box plait of the goods inserted, with a pretty finish of embroidery where the gore and the box plait met. In another the same two gores were cut off about ten inches below the band, and a gathered panel with a heading was added, the panel being gathered several times across. Bureau and table scarfs in broderie anglaise are the latest fancy in decorative household linen. Always have a place for brooms and feather dusters and brushes where they are protected from the dust. Lemons can be kept almost indefinitely under glass that is light and airtight. Set one under a goblet and see. Very scanty fullness is the rule now for all window or door hangings and none at all for front door and vestibule panels. To wash anything that is greasy use hot soda water. The alkali turns the grease into soap, which will do its own cleansing. Half a lemon placed in the water in which dish towels and kitchen cloths are soaked is said to sweeten them wonderfully. One of the most soothing applications for a fresh burn is raw potato scraped or grated and bound like a poultice on the injured surface. Shirt Waists for the Season. The shirt waist, neatest of all garments, is tending back to first principles. The smartest practical styles for spring call again for the rather mannish cut once exacted, and with this men's shirtings are largely used. Striped and figured linens and cheviots and percales are selected at the masculine haberdasher's, and there made up or turned over to private shirt makers of undisputed talent. These very trim and stylishly simple shirts are almost as devoid of ornament as the masculine garment. A limited number of wide tucks show at the fronts of many, holding these taut and flat to the waist. The backs are mainly plain; sleeves are small, rather skimp than generous as to length, and are finished with stiff cuffs. The collar is an important and dalty feature. Many stiff linen collars are worn, with ties of silk in the color of the shirt pattern, but the neatest neck fixing is a straight stock of white pique with a narrow tie in the shirt material. Novelty in Veilings. A charming veiling novelty is of chiffon imprime, or printed chiffon (although the shop girls all call it by the first name, giving it the English spelling value), in which the ground is a very sheer but firm chiffon, and the printing of floral sprays and designs is so cleverly managed that both sides are exactly alike. Some of them are finished with a plain chiffon border, hemsitched to the printed goods, while others make use of ribbons—plain, fluted, crimped and plaited—with the most novel effect. The girl with the long and slender features can indulge in the voluminous finish to her veil, but she of the round, plump face will find that the plain border is far more becoming. Boudoir Confidences Wear a colored girdle and a hair net of the same shade with your white gown. Robe gowns of braided canvas will be smart for spring wear, and very choice are of the models shown. One of those long close coats of heavy lace will be a necessary item in the up to date wardrobe. Pretty blouses in navy blue and other dark silks have the yokes inset with lace dyed to match. French printed challis come in the brownish yellows that characterize many of the thin fabrics, scattered with quantit little floral sprigs. Idea in Gown Decoration: A black jetted net gown has the upper part of the bodice and the lower part of the sleeves of white lace embroidered with chiffon flowers in pink. To agree with this is a corsage belt deeply pointed in front and with long full ends falling at the back, all in shaded pink chiffon. If the gown is not altogether to be desired in itself there is an idea in it. "Lady Bug" Costume. Quite unusual and capable of pleasing development is the "lady bug" costume. The sharp-tailed jacket is of turkey red cotton and the skirt box plaited, both being decorated with lady bugs cut out of black glazed paper and pasted on. The bonnet should be of sage green, with an overlap of stiff white material. If desired the head covering could be omitted and foliage arranged as a substitute. Visiting Tollette. am. Copei Black velvet and white gulpure cloth. White cloth vest. Nice Tart Paste For these tarts take one pint pastry flour, small cup lard, teaspoonful sugar, half one salt, white of one egg and three tablespoonsfuls cold water. Do not have it too soft, just right to roll out. Roll about half-inch thick, cut with a doughnut cutter and put one side. Roll out the little centers left from inside thin, put on baking pan, wet rims and lay the thick, round tart shells on them, rub white of an egg over them before putting in oven, and bake quick. If too slow, they will be tough. Now, if you want a pretty fancy dish, roll thin rounds to fit the tops of tarts, and cut out four rounds with a thimble in form of a diamond. When filled with jell put the tops on and see how nice they look. Styles in Linen Skirts. Many of the newest skirts in linen have yokes with box plaits or stitched tucks falling from them. The skirts of linen gowns, even in the most elaborate type, clear the ground, are are fitted about the nips, but whether long or short they are all fitted at the bottom. Plaited skirts of all kinds are very fashionable. It will be valuable to remember that all linens and trimmings for linen gowns should be laundered before they are made up. If not the costume will be practically useless after the first washing. Lemp's Beer on Draught. Bass' Ale on Draught. Maryland Club Whiskey Guaranteed over 14 years old.
