A PRIZE Cornell Awarded First Place Mount Vernon College "The Negro" His T The most unique and tragic figure in history is the American Negro. No other race has plunged so deeply in despair, or been exalted to such heights of hope; no other race has viewed so black a night, or been dazzled by such a flash of promise; no other race has grasped so eagerly the prize, to see its substance turn to ashes. "The bright ideals of the past—physical freedom, political power—both these in turn have waxed and waned, until even the last grows dim and overcast." Thus has ended the Negro's dream of freedom. Yet it was not dreamed in vain; it served to lighten the task of the tired slave and to bring hope to his aching heart—it did more than that; it gave place to a dogged determination, based upon a knowledge of reality, to somehow somewhere, find something in this world akin to the visions of the past.—A background darkened by slavery; a foreground clouded by prejudice; in the center, a weary people, struggling on, their gaze fixed far in the future. A path that is dim; a way that is steep and stony. But over all, lighting up the dusky faces of the plodders, darting its rays, here and there through the clouded foreground—silver cords of promise reaching out into the future—Hope shines like the sun. And through it all, the mystery of struggle, inspiring, uplifting, einobling. Why has the Negro failed so miserably in the realization of his ideals? What is the nature of the force that binds him still to the lot of an inferior? It is the gulf between the races—the twofold difference of race and culture. The ages past, so crowded with the land marks of Cancasian progress, still stretch before the Negro, a vast, unexplored wilderness. Through two centuries of bondage the Negro learned to regard slavery as the source of all his woes, freedom as the fount of perfect joy. Emancipation came at last—in a holocaust of blood and war. Since then forty years have passed—the dream of freedom is still, a dream, and the Negro rests under the shadow of a great disappointment. That gulf between the races, emancipation could not bridge; the ballot could not span its yawning depths. Standing on its verge, striving with longing eyes to pierce its mysteries, is a man. As he looks and wonders, he has a strange vision—a cloud --- State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL ORATION. in Oratorical Contest Held at Mount Vernon, Iowa. Topic for Discussion. of doubt rises before him, and in it he sees his own soul, "darkly, as through a veil," and in that soul he sees reflected a faint revelation of inborn power, of a mission all its own. Suddenly, round about him shines a radiance of rare glory. Under its rays doubt vanishes and the innermost recesses of that gulf show forth their secrets. His hearts leaps under the inspiration of a great conception. He can never cross that gulf, he can never be white, but he can be himself. And so in half-awakened consciousness he stands trembling upon the threshold of self-realization. The Negro for the first time sees and knows himself. And so comes the third ideal that has possessed the Negro race: education—culture of hand, intellect and soul. The racial strife of today is the logical outcome of present day conditions. Two different peoples of varying degrees of culture are seeking to progress under the same institutions. The government, laws and educational system of a people and their social and industrial organization are the result of a growth, an evolution out of lower forms; which keeps pace with the development of a nation; and to be suited to a people, they must be an expression of the particular stage of civilization attained by that people. Language, laws and institutions are mile posts in the evolution of a race, telling how far it has advanced and pointing the way onward and upward. And for a nation to ignore the teachings of experience and to fly in the face of law, Liberty is from within; it can only exist as the product of character, and character is a gem which holds in the mysterious beauty of crystalization all the good, the noble, and the true that has enriched a race's past. We cannot take an African savage, cast him for two centuries in the mold of slavery, and then, in a day implant within his bosom that transcendant brilliancy, those radiant hues that can only shine forth from a nature cut, ground, and polished in God's workshop of ages. Shall we then despair because many have failed to grasp the new conditions of their suddenly changed environment, and have deteriorated? Already the leaders have seized the issues, and out of the gigantic struggle for race existence emerge the names of Du-Bois, Council, Hoffman, Morris, Lyons, Dunbar, Booker T. Wash- --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1905. ington and a host of others—names that stand for ability industry and worth—and the better element is already building the foundation for a new,fit, enduring Negro race, and even now the listening ear can catch the clanging of their hammers and catch the buzzing of their saws echoed back from the walls of Tuskegee, Howard, Atlanta and a hundred similar institutions, and the feeling soul may count the heart beats as they throb their hope and yearning to the One Kind Tender Heart above, which answers throb for throb for every pain and every striving of the human breast. Oh, the Negro is human; he is human in that divine element of yearning for something better which separates him from the beast, and links his heart of desire to the great, overruling Heart of Pity above. A son of the south, a United States senator, holds up the shrinking form of Negro civilization—"more sinned against than sinning"—and in a spirit of derision compares it with the manly beauty of our own; then tramping it in the dirt, and standing with his foot upon its neck, calls upon it to instantly arise and prove its fitness or forever consent to grovel in the filth of slavery—this he does in the heart of the North—and a maudin people applaud his spirit. I would ask this gentleman, what is it you compare? You point to the highest civilization that the world has yet produced, the product and pride of all ages, and compare it with the civilization of an infant race. How old is the civilization of America? Over three centuries. Who fathered it? The proudest blood, the sturdiest sinew of Europe. What sought they thus afar? Freedom. Who now comprise it? Americans. How old is the civilization of the black Americans? Forty years. Who fathered it? A savage. How came he here? In chains. Who now comprise it? Negroes—demoralized by over two centuries of slavery. In the light of these facts, my hand would wither in the writing and my tongue in the speaking, had I to confess that our civilization was no further advanced than one conceived in injustice, and thrown out 40 short years ago—a very child—to battle with an unkind world. All praise to that race who, simple and unversed in the ways of the world, unused to the powers of freedom, given thus suddenly the choice of good or evil, have so largely chosen the better part. Small wonder, if, under the conditions which surrounded its first taste of the sweet cup of freedom, it drank too deeply of that intoxicating cup. Small wonder that many have in the face of opposition and injustice and prejudice failed to measure up to the standards of the average white cit- izen. And though many in their weakness have fallen; though many have been crushed under their burden of passion and prejudice, and have gone astray, yet, I say it with head bowed in humiliation, and with the blush of shame burning my cheek, the hand that lights the match of hellish revenge, the hand that prostitutes the very name of civilization and brotherhood and even manhood—turn away your faces, ye seeing nations—that hand is white. The facts that prove the necessary inferiority of the Negroes are not in. When their civilization has been weighed in the balance for over three centuries and found wanting; when, after two thousand years of Christ, they outrage the name, not alone of civilization but of God and humanity, planting the seeds of murder, anarchy, and hell in the hearts of their children, if then they be charged with the possession of an inferior manhood they may well stand dumb before an indignant age, from whose stern lips falls the verdict, Guilty! guilty! guilty! There is that in an immortal soul which defies limitation. I come with no theory of equality other than the inborn right of every human being to the fullest development possible of every God given power. There are those who looking into the future, imagine a night when two racial giants shall stand face to face on American soil and struggle for the mastery. Prompted by some such dread fear, weak men would sacrifice principle and justice and continue to blur with the masks of ignorance and degradation the image of the Almighty, stamped in ineffaceable outline, on nine million souls. How mean a philosophy! How narrow a policy! Close your eyes to it if you will, rail against it as you will, call it mischance or call it Providence, the fact yet remains that the future of the black race is indissolubly linked with the future of the white. Their country is our country; their growth, our growth; their sin, our sin. Weak, they limit us; diseased, they pollute us degraded, they lowerus; virtuous they ennoble us. Leave the broder plane of human rights, and justice to the Negro becomes a simple question of expediency. The Negro race exists today as the test and measuse of the moral strength of our civilization. She stands as an orphan child trembling before great America's power. With no father nation to pretect her; weak, ignorant, debased, yet feeling within herself the nobler promptings of a true womanhood, she stands in the full light of American principles, in the sight of all the nations, pleading for the right to live, to strive, to hope. Let us then pursue a broad policy, one that, holding the races as separate socially as the castes if India, will still give this people every oppor- tunity for development. Let us seek as our ideal, not the merging of two racial identities; rather let us strive to bring all that is truly Negro into grand harmony with all that is truly American. Let us seek as our ideal, not the merging of two racial identities; rather let us strive to bring all that is truly Negro into grand harmony with all that is truly American. Let us remain in all things purely racial "as separate as the fingers," and yet be "one as the hand" in all things purely national. When this new century, shall have passed away and another is born, may it not enter into a heritage of some thirty million degraded human beings, into which our countrymen can reach his hand, and holding one up to the ridicule of the nations, say the tongue of scorn. Behold an American Citizen! Rather may it find a race uplifted, ennobled, and, pointing with one hand to a savage, and with the other to an American Negro, say to the monarchies of the Old World: Behold the power of freedom and the triumph of American principles. Yesterday, we took from Africa's shores a savage; te-day, we hold up to the view of all the nations a black man without one vestige of savagery—a Negro and an American! RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. The race generally will be proud to learn that of the 300 successful candidates before the Missouri State Board of Medical Examiners, in 1904, Dr. R. A. Henderson of Springfield, stood second, being exceeded by only one per cent. in all the differcult subjects presented. Dr. Henderson is of Meharry Medical college, and has done his Alma Mater inestimable credit by his pre-eminence. Washington, March 22.—The president has appointed Sergeant George S. Thompson, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, to be a second lieutenant in the Philippine scouts thus adding one more Negro to the commanding forces of the army. Lieutenant Thompson was appointed on his merits, having received high commendation for heroism and efficiency during the insurrection in the Philippines. He is on of the crack shots in the army and has received several medals for rifle and pistol shooting. He is now stationed with his regiment at Fort Niobrara, Neb. Washington, March 13.—In the peonage case of Samuel M. Clyatt vs. the United States, the supreme court of the United States today reversed the decision of the circuit NO. 26. court of appeals for the Fifth circuit, in favor of Clyatt, who was charged with "returning to involuntary servitude two Negroes named Gordon and Ridley." The opinion was handed down by Justice Brewer and while it upheld the constitutionality of the law for the punishment of peonage it held that as the record failed to show that the Negroes had ever before been in custody, the charge of "returning them could not be sustained. "That a high school teacher makes a mistake when he attempts to criticise President Roosevelt," says the State Republican of Lansing, Mich., "was impressed upon Charles Barber, teacher of history in the high school. He was discussing the various affairs of the present administration, and made the statement that 'Teddy' had made one mistake, and that was in entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White House. Several of the president's supporters immediately arose to his defense, and a hot debate was started, which was brought to a climax when the instructor asked if any of the class would be willing to 'eat with a nigger.' The class answered 'yes' in a body." Information from Vicksburg, Miss., states that on last Wednesday two Negroes committed suicide by drowning. The first one was a young man confined in the State Charity Hospital for insanity. Shortly after dark, he escaped from the building and removing his nightshirt plunged headlong into a nearby cistern and was drowned before he could be rescued. The other was San Dolan who while being chased by officers who were endeavoring to arrest him upon a charge of chicken stealing, fled to the river into which he waded up to his arm pits. He refused to heed the officers calls to surrender, but backed further on into the river and was swept away and drowned. His body was not recovered Lansing, Mich.—Colored citizens demand apologies or the retirement of Charles Barber, instructor in Langsing High School, who is said to have told his history class last week that President Roosevelt made the only mistake of his administration in entertaining Booker T. Washington at dinner. Seventy-five colored residents attended a meeting a few nights ago, when a committee was appointed to appear before the school board. At the time of the alleged statement Barber was reported as asking his class if they would "eat with a nigger," whereupon all responded "Yes." The teacher is said to have continued by saying that the Negro race should be shipped back to Africa, or kept at work in the cotton fields, but he now declares that he was merely telling what Southern opinion was.

AFFAIRS OF STATE IN COLORADO Railway Merger Bill. House bill 178, known as the Colorado & Southern measure, was discussed at a public meeting in the Senate chamber March 21st. Appearing for the Colorado & Southern, Tyson S. Dines read a statement in which the attitude of the company was set forth. E. E. Whitted explained the bill, section by section, and answered the objections raised by Senator Booth's minority report. Representative Thomas sounded the first note of opposition, claiming the honor of being the only member of the House to vote against the bill. He was answered by Mr. Dines. C. W. Waterman of Wolcott, Vale & Waterman, and attorney for the Denver & Rio Grande, spoke in favor of the bill, and said that if it passed his road would be able to acquire lines in Utah which would enable it to compete with the Harriman lines in shipping fruit from California. The principal speech against the bill was made by Frank C. Goudy. "I do not question the good faith of the gentlemen behind this bill," he said, "but I do question the good faith of the gentlemen behind them who have headquarters in New York city. This bill appears to me to be a plan to make trusts easy, to make it easy to combine and consolidate. "One of the dangers of this bill is that it is part of a general scheme to so arrange Colorado laws that foreign corporations may buy up all the railroads in Colorado and obliterate them as state roads. It goes even further than any similar statutes I have examined, in that it gives to such foreign corporations as purchase Colorado roads the right of eminent domain. It would take out of the state courts the right to control the roads by making them interstate roads. "There are already sufficient facilities for making combinations easy, and I am opposed to any legislation that will make it any easier to combine. "In my judgment this bill is special legislation, pure and simple. It embodies provisions of the New Jersey laws, under which trusts were created, and under which they flourish so abundantly. Current history demonstrates that the majority of railroad trusts could not have been created without just such legislation as is asked for in this bill. If it is passed it will be the greatest step the Colorado Legislature has ever taken to encourage trusts." A sample of the questions asked are the following, propounded by Senator Sapp, to all of which either Mr. Whited or Mr. Trumbull answered, "no": "Is it the intention of the Colorado & Southern to use this bill to enable it to sell out to a foreign company?" "Is it the intention of the Colorado & Southern to use this bill so as to lease, purchase from, or consolidate with, or sell to parallel or competing lines?" "Is it the purpose of this bill to enable railway corporations to sell out, lease, or consolidate upon a vote of less than two-thirds of the entire capital stock of the selling or leasing company voting in favor of the proposition?" Following are extracts from the statement of President Trumbull of the Colorado & Southern, as read by Mr. Dines: "There is absolutely nothing mysterious or sinister about the bill; it was drawn by counsel for our company for the purpose of enabling the Colorado & Southern to engage in expansions for which there is not sufficient power under the existing laws of the state. "We could, as others have done, easily obtain under the laws of other states, much greater powers than those for which we are now asking, but having cast our lot with the people of Colorado, and having selected a name which forever identifies us with that state, we simply ask; that we may be treated as well as we would fare elsewhere. "A great many false assumptions have been circulated and published, which perhaps I need not answer in detail, but I can say emphatically that the desire of the present owners of the Colorado & Southern is to build it up into a larger and more important system, and that absolutely no negotiations are under consideration looking toward a sale or dismemberment of the Colorado & Southern system. If the bill before you is passed, it will, when our financial arrangements are matured, enable us to acquire disconnected pieces of road, the right to do which under the existing laws of this state has been questioned. Our expectation is to connect these lines by additional construction but, in the meantime, we seek a way to finance the acquisition of existing lines, and this naturally requires indisputable titles. "We ask for power to acquire not only other railroads, out other transportation lines, because, for example, it is quite possible in years to come that we may want to contol, or at least to acquire interests in, steamship lines as well as rail lines. Our first hope is to carry out the original designs of Governor John Evans and Gen. G. M. Dodge, namely: To connect Denver directly with the Gulf of Mexico, and further acquisitions will doubtless logically follow, but hardly in behalf of a Colorado enterprise, unless the Colorado laws permit. "I am not overstating the case in saying that permission from the state of Colorado for the Colorado & Southern and other roads to become parents of additional enterprises, is of as much value, if not more, to the people of Colorado, than to the individuals who are interested in the railroad properties which happen to be organized under the laws of this state. "The Colorado & Southern disburses, in expenses and taxes, nearly eighty per cent, of its total receipts, and the bulk of this eighty per cent, is distributed in the state of Colorado, for it has always been our preferential rule to patronize home industries. Our headquarters were re-established in Denver eleven years ago, and in this city we distribute more money than any other industry, and we shall be very happy if our company may be the instrument for disbursing larger and larger sums in Colorado as the years go on. Recommended in Senate. Following the joint session March 21st, the Senate in committee of the whole, agreed on the following bill's and recommended them for passage: Senator Owens' bill—Providing for the funding of the military debt, amounting to $800,000. Senator Robertson's bill—Providing $25,000 to be used in entertainment of the Grand Army of the Republic next summer. Senator Ballinger's bill—Providing for the maintenance and support of the state capital building and grounds for the biennial term. The appropriation amounts to $63,000, with $5,000 for carpets. Senator Pryor's bill—Appropriating $12,000 for the use of the State Fair Association, which holds annual fairs at Pueblo. It is the same amount appropriated two years ago. Bill 132, by Senator Ballinger—Appropriating $5,000 for Harry P. Palmer, a member of Battery A of the state militia. House bill No. 7—Establishing a fish hatchery in Rio Grande county, and Senate bill No. 52, by Taylor, establishing a hatchery at Glenwood Springs. Senator Lewis' bill—Providing the regular appropriation for the state penitentiary. The amount called for is $160,000, which is less the short appropriation bill passed earlier in the session. Senator Booth's bill—Appropriating $42,075 for the maintenance of the Girls' Industrial School, with several amendments suggested by the committee. Senator Alexander's bill—Appropriating $50,000 for a new building at the State School of Mines at Golden, after cutting the amount to $30,000. The bill of Senator Ballinger—Appropriating $25,000 for the completion of the addition to the State Reformatory, with the amount cut to $20,000. Senate bill 213, by Ballinger—Appropriating $70,000 for the completion of the state capital building, was adopted, with the amount cut to $35,000. Senator Parks got through an amendment putting in $13,000 to pay the city of Denver for money expended in laying pavement around the capitol grounds. It is money that has been owed to the city for years. Bill 117—Appropriating $3,000 for the use of traveling libraries. No. 70, by Senator Hill—Creating a surplus fund and appropriations therefrom. The fund will be $300,000. No. 43, by Pryor—Appropriating $230,000 for the maintenance of the State Insane Asylum. No. 344, by Ballinger—To pay James S. Bush $113 paid out by him for the state. The sum of $1,000 was voted for the use of the State Board of Library Commissioners for the biennial term. It is carried in bill 122, by Anfenger. Senator Booth's bill, 122—To pay Hiram P. Bennett the sum of $4,153.88. It is a claim against the state for a commission in collecting a claim against the government. It dates back to 1888. Bill 128, by Senator Owen—Creating a state board of health. Proposed State Highway. Following are the principal provisions of Senate bill 364, new before the Legislature: There is hereby established a public highway through the state of Colorado which shall have for its southern terminus a point in the Raton mountains on the state line between Colorado and New Mexico, where the old Barlow and Sanderson stage line, known as the "Santa Fe Trail," crosses the state line, being the northern end of what is known as "El Camino Real" in New Mexico, running thence in a northerly direction, as nearly as practicable, through the following cities and towns: Trinidad, Walsenburg, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins. The construction, repair and maintenance of said public highway shall be done under the authority and control of the board of commissioners of the penitentiary of the state of Colorado, and the warden of said penitentiary, subject to the provisions of section 4 of this act, who are hereby authorized and required to construct said highway by the use of the labor of the penitentiary convicts, as well as also in like manner to construct such extensions of said highway and such other roads leading to said public highway, as may from time to time be provided for by further enactments of the General Assembly. Boards of county commissioners in the counties through which the road passes are authorized to pay for engineering work out of the road fund or general fund and are required to secure the right of way wherever necessary. Recommended by House. In committee of the whole, March 21st, with Mr. Thomas in the chair, the following bills were read a second time and recommended for passage: H.

He was first stricken about a ‘year ago, and for six months he suffered pain which he thinks the most intense that any man could possibly stand. ‘Asked about the details of his remark- able recovery, Mr. Marston gave the fol- Towing account: “+I was attacked by a anumbness or dull feeling just back of my right hip. I didn’t know what the mat- ter was, but thonght it was simply a stiffness that would wear away in a short time. It didn’t, however, and soon the pain became so very bad that every step was torture forme. When I finally succeeded in getting home, it was just as much as I could do to reach my Foom and get to bed. : “The doctor was sent for, and when he had examined me he said Ihad sciatica.

The Wyoming and South Dakota cowboys who went to the inauguration gave a small-sized wild West show be- fore they left, which was attended by practically the entire junior popula- tion of Washington and a large num- ber of senators. At the close of the show the cow- boys selected a handsome bay cow- pony and presented it to Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who, with his brothers, was in evidence at the performance. Young Theodore rode the horse home to receive his father’s approval of it and permission to accept the gift. ‘The president came out from the ex- ecutive offices bareheaded and stood in the rain while his son rode up and down to show off his horse’s gaits. When he passed by single footing the president shouted: “Good doings, good doings,” and gave his assent at once to acceptance of the animal by the boy. fn the evening the president invited all the visiting cowboys to the White house, where they met Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt and other members of the family and several callers. “Fishers of Men.” ‘This story is told of a nice ola resi- dent of Brooklyn, who recently ad- dressed a class of young women at an educational institution, and who ad- vised them to go in for the active life. “Go out and do something and be some- thing,” he exclaimed: “become fishers of men,” and he wondered why the audience tittered. THE SIMPLE LIFE. Ways That Are Pleasant and* Paths ‘That Are Peace. It is the simple life that gives length of days, serenity of mind and body and tranquillity of soul. Simple hopes and ambitions, bound- ed by the desire to do good to one’s neighbors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Men die long before their time be- ‘cause they try to crowd too much into their experiences—they climb too high and fall too hard. A wise woman writes of the good that a simme diet has done her: “I have been using Grape-Nuts for about six months. I began rather spar- ingly, until I acquired such a liking for it that for the last three months I have depended upon it almost en- tirely for my diet, eating nothing else whatever, but GrapeNuts for break- fast and supper, and I believe I could eat it for dinner with fryit and be sat- {sfied ‘without other -food, and feel much better and have more strength to do my housework. “When I began the use of Grape- Nuts I ws thin and weak, my muscles wera so soft that I was not able to do any work. I weighed only 108 pounds Nothing that I ate did me any good. I was going down hill rapidly, was nervous and miserable, with no ambi- tion for anything. My coniition im- proved rapidly after I began to eat Grape-Nuts food. It made me feel lke a new woman; my muscles got solid, my figure rounded out, my welght Increased to 126 pounds in a few weeks, my nerves grew steady and my mind better and clearer. My friends te!l me they haven't seen me look so well for years. “I consider Grape-Nuts the best food on the market, and shall never go back to meats and white bread again.” Name given by Postum Co.

STATE CHAIRMAN. Now that the gubernatorial contest is definitely and finally settled, it might be well to name in this issue of the Colorado Statesman one of the great actors in that drama, whose native modesty has hitherto kept his personality in the background. Others have appeared in the lime light of the stage during every act of the great contest, and the changes have been incessantly rung on their names. But Hon. D. B. Fairley, chairman of the state central committee, and the members of his executive committee, are deserving of the highest praise and deepest gratitude of the party for this superb and complete victory. They were the men behind the guns, as it were. They were more than that. Fairley was the Oyama of this triumphant campaign. Every alert, full of fight, carrying the war to the enemy without ceasing, using the deep strategy and availing himself of every legitimate resource of the born commander and leader, he was ably assisted by his staff of patriotic and well-trained advisers. With such a field marshal and such a staff the sweeping and utter route of the enemy was never in doubt. For D. B. Fairley is always a winner. Henceforth his name at the head of a political campaign will be simply equivalent to victory. THE VICTORS' SPOILS. The long drawn out battle having been fought to a successful issue in every detail, the victors naturally are looking around for the spoils. That is universal human nature. There are some whose vaulted ambition will accept only certain positions. Others will be glad to take what they can get. One class of citizens have voted the Rebublican ticket almost unanimously. We believe this element will receive just, prompt and befitting recognition in the distribution of positions. Character, merit and work for the party ought to be the true tests. But above all only true and tried Republicans should be put on guard. Among those we might mention K. R. Connors of Pueblo. It occurs to us that no one in the whole state has suffered to the same degree on account of his unwavering Republicanism and the work he did for his party in the last campaign than has Mr. Connors. Like the martyrs of old he was immured in a dark prison for days and weeks because he kept the faith and would not betray the Republican cause at the behest of Democrats. His active and efficient work in the campaign had made him a conspicuous target for the poisoned shafts of Democratic revenge. They had sworn to get even with him, and they did. That is the kind of party loyalty that should be rewarded. Mr Connors is an applicant for the head janitorship at the Capitol building. It is an humble position and one which will doubtless be conceded to the colored race, as it formerly has been with few exceptions. He has served as one of the janitors there for several years, so the duties will not be new to him. The Colorado Statesman indorses his application because it knows of no one more deserving of the appointment. Let him be head janitor by all means. OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Hon. George Stidger is making a great record for himself as district attorney and comes up to the full measure of the expectations and predictions of the many friends who know him best. Filling the most important, and in a political sense, the most influential office in the county, he knows neither friend nor foe in the performance of his official duties. Impartiality and justice seem to be the mottoes which control the administration of his office. This spirit clearly reveals itself in the numerous prosecutions for crime already instituted. Election thieves have found no mercy in his hands, and he did not hesitate or relent because occasionally the thief happened to be a Republican. This faithful and energetic performance of duty has resulted in the conviction of a large number of election crooks who have hitherto enjoyed immunity. Some are now languishing in the county jail and having ample time and cause to reflect on the mutability of human fortune (especially political), while others are just about to enter upon a term of years in the State Penitentiary. Persons accused of crime of high or low degree are all alike to him. The opportunity is within his grasp of proving himself another Joseph Folk. It is the chance of a lifetime—the hour of fate; for such an opportunity visits one but once in a lifetime and returns no more. We are sure from our knowledge of Mr. Stidger's fearless, aggressive and persistent character that he will make good whenever and wherever the particular occasion arises, no matter who is hurt. The upright, fearless and patriotic officer need entertain no apprehension as to his political future, for he builds better than he knows, and on a firm and enduring foundation that assures a larger and more brilliant career. NOW IT'S GOV. McDONALD. The final result of the gubernatorial contest has almost universally commended itself to Republicans of all classes. It has solidly united all factions within the party and harmonized all differences in the ranks. It has struck consternation into the hearts of the Democrats. They had fondly hoped that they could pile up a mountain of capital to be used in the next campaign, upon the fact of Peobody administering the office awarded him by the righteous decision of the Legislature. They will have now to retreat, reform their lines and change their plans of campaign. The resignation of Governor Peabody, after having been declared governor by such a pronounced majority, and the succession of Lieutenant Governor McDonald to the gubernatorial chair, is a political coup that has greatly enhanced and promoted the future prospects of the party. Governor McDonald is one whose stalwart Republicanism has never known change or shadow of turning. It has ever stood four square and firm, like the rock of Gibraltar, during the darkest days of the party. His voice has rung true in many a campaign and he has always been active in the councils of the party and an untiring worker for its success. This party fealty has been acknowledged and rewarded a number of times by his constituents in Leadville, his home city. Three times consecutively did they elect him mayor, and two years ago he was returned to the State Senate by an overwhelming majority, running ahead of his ticket. It is now a feature of the turbulent political history of the state how the Democratic majority in that body by revolutionary methods and without rhyme or reason deprived him of his seat and gave it to his opponent. But the whirligig of time evens up things. And so the party of fraud, corruption and revolution finds that it has received a Roland for its Oliver. Alva Adams, the head of his party, had to yield an office held, through fraud to this popular tribune of the people. This is an instance of retributive justice rarely if ever paralleled in the political annals of this country. We have known Governor McDonald for many years and have watched his political career with much interest. During the last campaign we felt it our duty as it was our pleasure to point out to our readers, and especially to the colored people, the very broad, liberal and high qualities which met together in the candidate for the office of lieutenant governor. We then took occasion to remark that his temperament, statesmanship and general equipment eminently qualified him for the office of governor should a vacancy occur. It seems our remarks were prophetic. The governor in his dealings with his colored constituents has always been fair, considerate, friendly and liberal. He believes like President Roosevelt that the door of opportunity should swing wide open for all citizens regardless of race or color—character and capability being the only considerations. C. D.

SIBERIA THREATENED RUSSIAN TERRITORY IN DANGER Linevitch May Be Driven Beyond Harbin.—Japanese May Cut Railroad and Isolate Vladivostok. St. Petersburg, March 24.—The possibility that if the Russian army should be unable to hold the lower line of the Sungari river at Chunchiatsu it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin but also further westward along the railroad, abandoning to the Japanese northern Manchuria and the Russian maritime Amur provinces as well, is the latest startling news from the front. The strategic weakness of General Linevitch's position as he falls back northward is made clear by a Gunshun dispatch to the Associated Press, in which it is pointed out that unless Chunichatsu and the Sungari lines, a scant 100 miles below Harbin, can be held, it will be difficult to maintain a position farther back before Harbin, where, with the front of the army paralleling the railroad, the practicability of a turning movement to completely sever communications and isolate the army 6,000 miles from home, is too serious for Russian consideration. The correspondent estimates the number of reinforcements needed to give General Linevitch the requisite superiority in force at 200,000. That such a dispatch should have been permitted to pass the censor at the front is significant, and if General Linevitch has communicated a similar estimate of the situation direct to Emperor Nicholas it may account for his majesty's increased disposition to listen to peace counsels and open negotiations before the Japanese establish themselves on Russian soil. With Manchuria entirely abandoned to the Japanese, and Vladivostok left as Russia's olitary sentinel on the Pacific, it is realized that Russia will be practically at Japan's mercy in the matter of peace terms. It can now be definitely stated that the decision not to appoint Grand Duke Nicholas Nikalaevitch to the supreme command in the Far East was rendered because the outlook at the front does not warrant the risk of compromising the prestige of a member of the imperial family. Russian reinforcements are arriving at Harbin at the rate of 1,200 men per day. Nevertheless, it is significant that there is now a well marked peace party at the winter palace. DENVER MAN MURDERED. Claude V. Logan Killed in Goldfield, Nevada, Mining District. Denver March 24.—Claude V. Logan, a son of A. R. Logan of Denver, was mysteriously murdered at Lida, Nevada, Tuesday night. It is believed that Mr. Logan was murdered in cold that he might not appear as a witness against certain parties accused of shooting a citizen of Lida. A posse is now scouring the country in the vicinity of Goldfield for the murderers, and it is probable they will be lynched if caught. Logan had been in Lida two months and a half, and with a man named Fox, Howard Ish and Clyde Turnbull, a lawyer in C. J. Hughes' office, started a mining company in the camp, locating several valuable properties. His father, a printer now with J. B. Stott and for many years employed by the Times, received a telegram from W. C. Ross, a justice of the peace in Goldfield, Nevada, announcing the death of Claude the evening before at Lida. No details were given as to the murderers or the cause of the shooting. Young Logan was a witness of a shooting affray not long ago, and it may be that this is the secret of the murder. Joseph Usher, a partner of Logan's in some Lida real estate, and an Indian named Simpson, are believed to have been connected with the crime. Usher was the man shot at in the first scrape, while Simpson has had a bad reputation in the camp since first coming there. Usher, Simpson and Logan were playing cards in the Indian's tent and during the progress of the game Usher succeeded in arousing Logan's anger. Then, leaving the tent, it is believed he paid the Indian to shoot Logan while the latter was helpless. The program was carried out and the two men made their escape before Logan's body was discovered in the morning. Such is the theory of the shooting entertained by Logan's father. Exploring Ship Roosevelt. Bucksport, Maine, March 24.—Lieut. R. E. Peary's Arctic steamship was launched successfully yesterday. She was christened "Roosevelt" by Mrs. Peary. The steamship was designed by Naval Architect William E. Winant of New York, and it is claimed as the result of all that experience in Arctic navigation to this date can suggest. She is considered the strongest in construction, most powerful and best equipped craft for combatting the Arctic ice ever built. The vessel is described as "a three-masted, fore-and-aft schooner rigged steamship, with auxiliary sail power." Her principal dimensions are; Length over all, 182 feet; beam, 35.5 feet; depth, 16.3 feet; mean draft with stores, 17 feet; gross tonnage, 614 tons, and estimated displacement about 1,000. Gomez Eulogizes Americans. Havana, March 24.—The climax of the enthusiasm over the visit of the American squadron was reached yesterday afternoon at a luncheon given the American officers by veterans of the revolution. Forty naval officers and nearly 200 leading Cuban veterans were seated. General Gomez, who was the first speaker, earnestly eulogized America's sacrifices on behalf of Cuba. He said Cubans were proud of the opportunity to honor representatives of the United States navy, army and government, and would not forget their obligations to the great republic whose sons had made possible all that Cuba had accomplished. --- Rev.

WOMEN NOT This Statement Has Been Modest Women Eva Male Physicians. Mrs.J.H.Farmer An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful; they will lie to their physician." This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in regard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is especially the case with unmarried women. Is it any wonder, then, that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on? This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To her they can and do give every symptom, so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients, through her correspondence with them than the physician who personally questions them. If you suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she will advise you free of charge. The fact that this great boon, which is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham, is appreciated, the thousands of letters received by her prove. Many such grateful letters as the following are constantly pouring in. ASK MRS.

A nephew of President Franklin Pierce has found an autograph letter written by Jefferson Davis to Pierce among documents inherited from his uncle. Davis wrote from the Senate chamber under date of January 30, 1860, saying: "The prospect for our country is not less gloomy than when you left. I will stand by the flag and uphold the constitution whilst there is a possibility of effecting anything to preserve and perpetuate the government we inherited. Beyond this my duty and faith bind me to Mississippi and her fortunes as she may shape them." An Ex-Sheriff Talks. Scott City, Kan., March 20th—(Special.)—Almost every newspaper tells of cures of the most deadly of kidney diseases by Dodd's Kidney Pills, Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism and Bladder troubles, in fact any disease that is of the kidneys or caused by disordered kidneys is readily cured by this great American remedy. But it is in curing the earlier stages of kidney complaint that Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing their greatest work. They are preventing thousands of cases of Bright's disease and other deadly ailments by curing Kidney Disease when it first shows its presence in the body. Speaking of this work Ex-Sheriff James Scott of Scott County, says: "I have used eight boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and must say that they are just the thing for Kidney Disease. We have tried many kidney medicines but Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best of all." It's easier to begin at the top and slide down than it is to begin at the bottom and crawl up.

TRUTHFUL In Unjustly Made, Because ade Questions Asked By Mrs. Ella Lee Mrs. Ella Lee, Frankford, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I want to thank you for what your medicine has done for me. "Three years ago I had inflammation of the ovaries and ulcers on my womb. I was under the doctor's care for about three months, and the only time I was not in pain was when under the influence of morphine. The doctor finally said I never would be better, and be an almaid the rest of my life. I had given me despair the evening, came across one of your advertisements and decided to write you for advice. I did and commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began to improve at once, and to-day I am a well woman, and I know it is all due to your advice and medicine. M. J. H. Farmer of 2809 Elliott Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I cannot thank you enough for what your advice and medicines have done for me. They have had me more good than all the doctors I ever had." "For the last eight years I have suffered with female troubles; was very weak; had nervous prostration, and could not do my work; but I am happy to say Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made a different woman of me. I am in perfect health and have gained in weight from 98 pounds to 122 pounds." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record for actual cures of female illis as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. ERN SEEDS TO SEED HOUSE BARTELDES & COMPANY. Denver, Colorado PROBING BEEF TRUST PROBING BEEF TRUST CHICAGO GRAND JURY AT WORK Impressive Charge by Judge Humphrey—Must Listen to Accusers, But Safeguard Honest Citizens. Chicago, March 23.—The special grand jury to investigate the so-called "beef trust" was completed yesterday. Three vacancies left in the panel yesterday were filled and the huge mass of testimony available was immediately attacked. District Judge Otis Humphrey charged the jury to "present no one from envy, hatred or malice, nor to leave any one unpresented for fear, favor, affection, reward or hope of reward." The charge of the jurors was delivered in a most impressive manner and was listened to with deep interest. Judge Humphreys said that his body stands between the upright and honest citizen and the malicious accuser. "You are savers of reputations as well as the body through which the honest accuser obtains just inquiry." "I call your attention particularly to the statute which prohibits and fixes a penalty for combinations in restraint of trade, by the interstate commerce lines and their various branches. "While you are not selected to try the guilt or innocence of the accused, in order to justify a true bill you will have such evidence as, if unexplained and uncontradicted, would satisfy your minds of the guilt of the accused. "You are not to disclose to any person or at any time the secrets of your deliberations. Reputation is the greatest earthly inheritance. "The mere fact that some person's name is before you as being accused of crime, would blacken the reputation, even though you might not return a true bill. No human being has a right to know and you are not to disclose to any human being, the secrets of your deliberation. All that shall come to the light will come through the return of indictments, if indictments shall be found." Among the more important wit nesses who will appear before the grand jury are Miss M. A. Dinock, private secretary to J. Ogden Armour, C. O. Young, general superintendent of Swift & Co., and George F. Morgan, assistant to Young. Two witnesses were examined during the afternoon session. South Cheyenne Canon Sold. Colorado Springs, March 23.—South Cheyenne canon, containing the famous Seven Falls and the former grave of Helen Hunt Jackson, both of which rival Pike's Peak in the interest they have for the thousands of tourists who annually come to Colorado Springs, was sold Tuesday by the owners, Harold and James Hull, to a syndicate of Colorado Springs and Pueblo capitalists for a sum approximating $225,000. The purchasers have organized the South Cheyenne Canon & Seven Falls Development Company and will file articles of incorporation with a capitalization of $50,000. The officers are: President, J. L. McClain, Colorado Springs; vice president, Frank Hoag, Pueblo; secretary and treasurer, C. D. Weimer, Colorado Springs. It is proposed to expend several thousand dollars in improvements and the present toll admission of 50 cents will be reduced to 25 cents, according to the purchasers, under certain conditions. What the latter are is unknown, but probably a concession of some sort from the city is desired. South Cheyenne Canon and Seven Falls are about six miles southwest of Colorado Springs and have been owned for nearly a quarter of a century by the Hull family, being originally acquired as a homestead. Peace Prospect Increases St. Petersburg, March 23.—The party within the government which is urging the emperor to indicate to Japan Russia's willingness to end the war if a reasonable basis can be reached as related in these patches March 20th has been greatly encouraged the last few days and an actual pacific proposal may be just ahead. The subject has occupied much of the attention of the conferences at Tsarskoe-Selo. Certain grand dukes, supported by General Sakharoff, minister of war; Admiral Avellan, head of the admiralty, and what is known as the war party, are still bitterly opposed to the idea of peace under present circumstances, but with the exception of the ministers of war and marine, the emperor's ministers, backed by M. Witte, solidly favor this course, and the convincing arguments they offer are telling French influences in the same direction are now being supported by German opinion. March on Kirin and Harbin. Gunshu Pass, March 23.—The Japanese appear to have given the Russians a temporary respite from pursuit, probably for the purpose of reforming their forces, as they did after the pursuit of the Russians north from Liao Yang. The Russian front runs southeast by northwest, and the Russian right much nearer the railroad than the left, while the Japanese position follows a line intersecting Kaiyuan. The impression here is that the Japanese eastern army is marching on Kirin, while the western army is continuing north between the Mongolian border and the main line of the railroad, with Harbin its objective. Negro Second Lieutenant: Washington, March 23.—The President has appointed Sergeant George S.

MORGAN DISCREDITED MORGAN DISCREDITED BRIBERY COMMITTEE'S REPORT General Manager Herbert and D. M. Sullivan Exonerated by Joint Convention Investigating Committee. Denver, March 22.—The investigating committee appointed by the joint legislative convention to inquire into the bribery charges made by Senator R. W. Morgan against James M. Herbert, general manager of the Colorado & Southern, and D. M. Sullivan, the Teller county Republican leader, yesterday made its report, completely exonerating Messrs. Herbert and Sullivan. The report, in substance is as follows: "That your committee met and commenced the taking of testimony on Tuesday, March 7th; that it employed a stenographer and the testimony taken is returned herewith. "Your committee heard, in support of the said charges, the testimony of Senator Morgan, Mr. John Hernan, one Jacob Baum and George Stidger, district attorney; and against the same, Mr. O. A. Smith, W. H. Sherrod, William Ranson, Joseph Hurd, Ulysses O. Anderson, W. J. Noble, John Wiseman, J. L. Campbell, John Cassidy, Julian Gradell, Patrick O'Day, C. T. Brown ex-Governor Adams and a number of other witnesses. "That in support of said charges the testimony of Senator Morgan is alone important to be considered; that in his testimony he states that on the afternoon of March 2d he was approached by Daniel Sullivan, invited to the room of Mr. J. M. Herbert in the Brown Palace hotel, and there, after negotiations as to the amount which he should be paid for the vote on the then pending contest for the governorship, a price was arrived at and definitely agreed upon, in consideration of which he was to cast his vote in favor of the Adams side of said controversy; that he was paid $750 down; that he, at the time of being paid and receiving the said money received the same as a bribe, intending to be bribed, and to cast his vote as, according to his testimony, he was paid for casting it. "That later he communicated these facts to the district attorney of the city and county of Denver. Hon. George Stidger; that he stated the facts to the district attorney and turned over to him the said $750, as the result of which criminal informations were filed in the District Court of said city and county charging the said Herbert and the said Sullivan with the said attempt at bribery, which charges are still pending. "Senator Morgan admitted that when he received the money he received it intending to keep it, with the full intention of acting in accordance with the agreement which he says was made at the time the money was said to him, and that it was only at later time that he changed his mind. "There was no evidence in corroboration of the story of Senator Morgan introduced, except that of the witness Baum, who testified that he is a detective employed by one George H. Graham for the purpose of spying upon the movements and conduct of the Legislature, and that he saw Sullivan and Morgan together in the lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel, heard Sullivan solicit or invite Morgan to go upstairs and saw them get on the elevator together. "Certain receipts purporting to be signed by Morgan, acknowledging certain sums of money paid to him by one Best, treasurer of the Northern Colorado Coal Company, were identified by Morgan. As to these receipts he first admitted the signature of all, or practically all of them, then changed his testimony and denied his signature as to some, and finally repudiated all, or practically all of them. "Mr. Smith, the auditor of the Northern Colorado Coal Company, identified the signature of said Morgan to all of the said receipts. "The other testimony introduced goes to show that the said Morgan has boasted and admitted that he was in politics, in the Legislature and acting in his capacity as a representative in the last General Assembly, and as a senator in this for what could be made out of the position; and that he is a man whose reputation for truth and veracity is bad in the community in which he resides, to which effect a large number of witnesses from Lafayette, Colorado, the home of the said Morgan, have testified. "Governor Adams testified that on Thursday morning, the day of the alleged bribery, Morgan voluntarily told him (Adams) that he (Morgan) intended to vote in the contest to retain Governor Adams in his seat. "Your committee is of the opinion that the testimony of the said Morgan is, of itself, unworthy of belief; that it is not corroborated; that placing the most favorable interpretation upon the testimony of Senator Morgan, he is a confessed bribe-taker, who only repented, if at all, after consultation with others. "Your committee recommends that additional reports, made by your committee under instructions of the joint convention, be made to the Senate and House, instead of to this convention.

Superstition Connected with Jeweled Toy of England's King. When as a girl Amelie de France, now Queen of Portugal, first visited Windsor Castle, the mystic jeweled bird which was taken from the throne of Tippoo Saib and presented by the East India Company to George III., was the object of her profoundest admiration. In fact, it fascinated her romantic soul, and Queen Victoria, who had a strong strain of romance in her nature, quite understood her young guest's feeling, so she ordered the bird to be taken to the princess' apartment, in order that a sketch might be made of the treasure. The first thing the Queen of Portugal asked for the night she entered the banqueting hall on the King's arm and saw the blaze of the celebrated gold plate upon the buffet, was this jeweled bird! His majesty immediately ordered that it should be placed upon the table in front of the Queen that she might gaze upon it at her leisure. There are many legends woven about that bird. A London journal says the Hindoos call it "Uma," and they say that whoever owns Uma must reign over India. It is supposed to have the gift of locomotion, and it alights upon the head of *wooseover* it endows with royal power. It is about twelve inches long, and is shaped like a pigeon with an exaggerated tail. Pubies, brillians, emeralds and pearls are sewn about the quivering feathers of filagree gold work; it holds a priceless ruby in its beak, and an emerald of great size and luster hangs from its breast. The bird shares with the Kohinoor the superstitious regard of the Hindoos. While the Uma folds its wings in the castle on the Thames, and while the Kohinoor blazes in the English crown, there is nothing else to do but be as good subjects of King Edward as may be. It is the will of the gods. TURKISH PROVERBS If you have to gather thorns do it by the stranger's hand. With patience your grapes become sweet and the mumberry leaf satin.

WEAR GLASSES DURING SLEEP Habit, It Is Claimed, Will Cure Cases of Insomnia. The idea of wearing a pair of spectacles during sleep is one of the strangest of the many strange ideas that have come to our notice, says London Answers. The head of a large firm, who often traveled from one end of the country to the other, preferred to do so at night, so that he could sleep. Although his sight was perfect, his last act before getting into his berth was to put on a pair of spectacles, which were secured to the bridge of his nose by a good spring, and with this adornment he fell asleep. Those who adopt this peculiar aid to drowsiness appear to sleep without twisting and turning, as some people do; they instinctively acquire a knack of turning only so far as is safe, and they awake unharmed in the morning, with the glasses just as nicely adjusted as when they went to bed. The commencement of the habit is mostly traceable to a difficulty in wooing slumber and to an intention to trying such dangerous remedies. Morphine. Spectacles, when the eye are not accustomed to them, have somnolent effect, and the device a forward becomes a habit. CARE OF PLANTS IN WINTER. Air and Sunshine Chief Requisites for Window Ornaments. Give plants all the fresh air you can. Open doors and windows at some distance from them on pleasant days and give them a chance to breathe in pure oxygen in liberal quantity. Give all the sunshine you can. And aim to keep the temperature of the room between 70 degrees by day and 55 at night. It will probably exceed these figures in both directions, but try to regulate it in such a way as to avoid the extremes of intense heat and dangerous cold. Use water liberally on the foliage of your plants. By washing off the dust it keeps open the pores of the leaves through which they breathe and it tempers the hot 1ry atmosphere usually prevailing in the living room. The only way to modify this condition is to keep water constantly evaporating on the stove or register and make frequent use of the sprayer. Planting Fruit Trees. When eating a good pear or apple save the seeds and plant them either in a flower pot, where they will germinate before long, or else directly in the garden, when they will come up next spring. To prevent their loss the place must be covered as a mark. It takes a number of years before they bear fruit, but to see the progress of growth from year to year is always interesting. People often think it is not worth while for them to plant trees; they will not live to have fruit of them, and so neglect it entirely. But some one will enjoy the harvest. It is just the individual egoism which affects all classes of society in many ways.—Hartford Times. In New York's Tough Districts. The experiences of the Bellevue hospital ambulance surgeons in the unlighted districts skirting East river, New York, where it is not safe even for policemen to venture sometimes, have led the hospital authorities to equip the instrument bags carried by the surgeons with a tubular electric dark lantern, sixteen inches long and two inches thick, weighing about two pounds. It serves equally well as a lantern and a night stick. According to the stories of the surgeons, when they have returned from calls to particularly dangerous districts, the defensive end of the contrivance has often proved more useful than the electric ends.

CRANE & CO., 11 W. Jackson St. Richmond, Yn. --- DENVER. COLO Violin FOIBLES OF FASHION Black is as popular if not more so than it was earlier in the season. A model recently turned out by a leading dressmaker in black broadcloth has a tight-fitting coat and an almost plain skirt that just clears the ground. The coat fits tightly in the back by means of curved seams, and a piece of the cloth about five inches wide and pointed at the lower end extends from the neck down the center of the back to a little below the waist line and is stitched twice at the edges. On each side of the coat skirts on both sides of the center seam similar pointed sections of the cloth appear. The sleeves are almost tight-fitting. Another attractive cloth model in steel gray has a plain skirt cut ankle length and is untrimmed. The coat is a tailor-made affair, partly loose fitting and partly tight-fitting, single-breasted and reaches to the knees, with a velvet turnover collar and deep velvet turnover cuffs. A strap runs across the center of the back to hold it in close to the waist line. Smart Silk "At Home" Dress. This is designed for afternoon wear, but would be suitable for a home din- ner frock too. It is of light taffetas trimmed with frills of narrow black BROOKLYN and white lace and medallions of the same lace; black velvet bows as a "ladder." The Morning Costumes The skirts of morning costumes will continue to be cut short, and they will fit closely about the hips, but they must flare a little below the line of the knee. With the long coats are worn the round skirts, either touching or just freeing the ground. These skirts are more becoming than the very short ones unless a woman has a pretty foot, and they are the only ones that can be worn with the redingotes. The very light weight broad-cloth will be worn well into the summer, and tweeds, serges and coarse canvases will come in for their share of popularity. Pork Cake. One pound salt pork chopped fine. 1 pound of raisins, 1 pound of currants, $ \frac{1}{2} $ pound of citron, 1 quart flour, 1 pint of brown sugar, 1 pint of boiling water, $ \frac{1}{2} $ pint of molasses, 2 teaspoonfuls each of cloves and cinnamon, grated rind of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoonful of soda dissolved in hot water; pour the water on the pork, stir until melted, then pass through the colander; add the sugar, molasses, spice and half of the flour; rub the fruit in 1 gill of the flour, then add it to the soda and the rest of the flour; bake in well buttered tins in a hot, steady oven. Sunderland Pudding. Half cup sugar, $ \frac{1}{4} $ cup of butter, $ \frac{1}{2} $ pint of milk, 1 cup of sifted flour and 3 eggs. Heat the milk hot; stir in the butter and let it cool before the other ingredients are added to it; then stir in the sugar, flour and beaten yolks of 3 and whites of 2 eggs. Flavor with a little grated lemon rind and beat the mixture well. Bake in well buttered cups half filled with the batter for about half an hour. Serve with any sweet sauce, and the white of 1 egg beaten with 1 spoonful of sugar dropped on each pudding in small drops. Directoire Coats. There is a decided liking shown for the well fitting directoire coat, with sleeves that set to the shape of the arm, though fancifully puckered and gathered and gauged very often, and with the outline of the figure carefully preserved. Coming Styles Skirts are to be fuller than ever about the feet—every conceivable trick that will get a few more inches into the width will be employed; but about the hips they will fit smoothly. Lace will be everywhere, principally Irish crochet and Valenciennes; a daring use, which is as beautiful as it is daring, being the combining the two. And lace will be used in every possible way, from allovers and strips and edgings to wonderful motifs which contain a host of suggestions in themselves for unusual, original uses. Even embroideries will be used to trim these dresses, but embroideries this year have lifted themselves high above anything we've ever known before, and come in a new dignity that fits them for any use. With the Housewife When cooking sausages let them heat very gradually and the skins will not burst. To keep milk sweet for several days add a teaspoonful of fine salt to every quart of milk. Stand pancake batter for two hours before frying. Beat it up again just before using. Bones and bacon rind should never be thrown away, but added to the stock pot when making soup. To brighten eyeglasses rub up the glasses with a piece of tissue paper. There is nothing better for the purpose. When making sauces dissolve the butter in the stewpan, add the flour, stir well, and then gradually add the liquor. To make varnish dissolve a pound and a half of shellac in a gallon of naphtha. Add a small quantity of dragon's blood to give it a good color. In the new goods there are so many novelty silks that one hesitates to start upon the task of naming them, knowing it to be absolutely hopeless. The chiffon taffeta is one of the best of taffetas. It is very light in weight yet strong. And there is a taffeta glace which is lovely and of the non-wrinkle order. Taffeta by the way has been marvelously improved the past season and it now wears very well indeed. No eye can turn away from the poplins and their cousins the mohairs and the brilliantines and siciliennes without a sigh. A bit of real lace will often contribute greatly to the style of a frock, and it is an excellent plan to rip from the garments before they are thrown aside any lace trimmings. No matter how badly soiled, every scrap of lace is worth saving. And this applies to the imitations as well as to the real, for if there is only sufficient to trim a stock collar it may be used for that purpose very conveniently and effectively on some future occasion, and as lace does not RECEPTION GOWNS FROM PARIS The gown on the seated figure is of violet faille. A fancy border cut from velvet of a little deeper shade finishes the skirt at the bottom. The bodice is draped, forming a sort of bolero covered with a large shoulder collar of venise lace.

Bits of Lace. occupy a great deal of space and is not so popular with most as are many other materials it may easily be preserved. Spinach in Molds. Boil the spinach, press out every drop of water and chop fine. Cook together in a saucepan a tablespoonful of butter and two of flour. Add the spinach with pepper and salt to taste; cook for five minutes. Butter the insides of muffin-tins or pate-pans and press the spinach hard into these. Set in the oven to keep hot while you make a white sauce. Carefully turn out the forms of spinach on a hot platter, lay a slice of hard-boiled egg on the top of each form and pour the white sauce around it. Velvet Walking Costume. An attractive short walking costume of black velvet has a skirt gored to fit the figure and in the back are two underlying plaits, and scarter ones in the center fronts are pressed in and secured invisibly, while down each side are rows of small old silver buttons. The blouse closes with double rows of buttons to match the skirt and the sleeves are plaited and held in place by the buttons. The blouse is collarless and trimmed with several rows of silk braid. O.

It is finished around the low neck with a bertha of satin, bordered with guipure, over which is a ruffle of white lace, headed by a band of blue velvet. The short sleeves forming double puffs are finished with bands of the satin, trimmed with guipure insertion. The third gown is of delicate lavender taffeta. The full skirt forms a shirred corset, and is trimmed at the bottom with three ruches of the silk, the two upper ones arranged in festoons. The bolero is shirred along the shoulders and at the bottom. FASHION where it is finished with a stitched band of the silk. The waistcoat is of guipure, with edges and knots of pink panne.
