Stokes, in New York Age, Replies to an Article by Congressman B. G. Humphrey of Mississippi, on "A Negro's Chance," which Appeared in Saturday Evening Post. "A NEGRO" R. L. Stokes, in New York Congressman B. G. Hu on "A Negro's Chance in Saturday An article on "A Negro's Chance," contributed a few weeks ago to the Saturday Evening Post by Congressman B. G. Humphrey, of the Third Mississippi district, is unique in that it entirely lacks the rancor and passion usually manifested in the writings of Southern men on the race problem. The mere amenity of this article would greatly encourage us, did we not suspect it due to the good nature of triumph rather than to the sympathy of philanthropy. We fear that Mr. Humphrey's smile would be on the other side of his face if those sharp schemes, of which he is so proud, for disfranchising the Afro-American had miscarried. Mr. Humphrey begins with the conventional vaunting over the history of the Anglo Saxon. We admit, what we could not deny if we would, that the Anglo Saxon's history has been glorious. We can even say that without the Anglo Saxon civilization to-day would have been materially changed for the worse. But we must not forget that the Anglo Saxon was once far lower than the Afro-American now is. When the original Angles and Saxons conquered Britain, they mixed with the native Briton. These Britons submitted to the Romans after a war, says Gibbon, "undertaken by the most stupid, maintained by the most dissolute, and terminated by the most timid of all the Roman emperors." The conquerors contemptuously instructed the maintenance of dominion of three legions, or, including cavalry, artillery and auxiliaries, about 36,000 men. The legionaries of Rome looked with astonished disgust upon the troops of howling, naked barbarians who prusued on foot the wild deer through the British forests. But worse was yet to come. The conglomerate race of Angles, Saxons, Danes and Britons were crushed to the earth by the Normans and reduced to slavery; as badges of servitude they were compelled to wear ignominious brass collars, like dogs. The Normans of that day was wont to exclaim with indignation: "Do you take me for a Saxon!" much as a Southerner says to-day. "Do you think I'm a nigger!" Although we admire the achievements of the race loosely known as the Anglo Saxon, we believe it to be far from perfect, especially in the South. It is a notorious State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, Saved By Pa RACI ORAD HE JOURNAL S CHANCE." Age, Replies to an Article by Amphrey of Mississippi, e," which Appeared Evening Post. fact that the prisons of London were drained to furnish population for many of the Southern states; and to find wives for these criminal, wretches convicted of the most flagrant crimes, the bawdy houses of London were emptied of prostitutes. From such a disgraceful origin sprang a vast number of those white men who in the South to-day rant most fiercely about the "divine Anglo Saxon." This is a mere aside, however. Mr. Humphrey's real thesis is that the only solution of the race problem is the disfranchisement of the black man. It may be shocking to some to hear a congressman of the United States so frankly advocate a violation of the fifteenth amendment of the United States constitution. Mr Humphrey thinks, however, that he has escaped this offense with great ingenuiousness. The letter of the fifteenth amendment, boasts he, has not been outraged. The black man has not been, ostensibly, disfranchised because he is black, but because he cannot read the constitution, does not pay his taxes, and does not register. On the other hand Mr. Humphrey confesses, with disreputable candoor, that these qualifications were adopted with the definite purpose of disfranchising the black man because he is black. Mr. Humphrey's conscience is no doubt quited by the reflection that he has violated only the spirit, but not the letter, of the law he has sworn to uphold. A fatal defect of these schemes of disfranchisement is that they are in their nature temporary. By relying on the Afro-American's procrastination, ignorance and timidity, Mr. Humphrey and his kind can now control the government in the Yazoo Delta district, without any violent outrage upon the law. But what will they do when the Afro-American achieves, as he is sure to achieve, enterprise intelligence and spirit? We fear that when this occurs Mr. Humphrey will be even less willing to share the government with black men than he now is. At present Mr. Humphrey would be almost certain, on account of his superior education and experience, to have a powerful voice in his state affairs if Afro-Americans were admitted to the suffrage. But will he be nearly so certain of power when numerous Afro-Americans are his equals in learning, experience and --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1905. ambition? We fear that Mr. Humphrey if he still holds to his opinion that the white man is divinely appointed to rule, will be sooner or later reduced to abandoning the Yazoo valley to the Afro-American, a thing which will hardly be done, or subduing him by force, as in the merry days of the Ku-Klux-Klan. But how will Mr. Humphrey elude violating the letter of the fifteenth amendment as well as its spirit? But disfranchisement being accomplished by legal means for an illegal purpose, what of its effects? Mr. Humshrey claims that they are so beneficial as to constitute a solution of the race problem. According to him, disfranchisement has caused a certain number of Afro-Americans of the Zazoo valley to own homes and farms, to become qualified doctors, lawyers, pharmacists and artisans, to manage stores and banks, and to escape lynching. But that there exists a causal relation between disfranchisement and these achievements we most emphatically deny. If Mr. Humphrey's contentions were well founded we should, for instance, invariably find the number of lynchings increasing wherever the Afro-American is enfranchised. Such is, however, not the case. In 1903 Mississippi, Mr. Humphrey's own state, with an Afro-American population of 907, 630, led all the states in the Uuion in lynchings, 18 persons having met death there from this cause. In Texas, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, with an Afro-American population of 1,616, 401, only 13 persons were lynched during the same time. In Mississippi the "revised constitution" has not yet been introduced. In Mississippi in 1900, 17,118 Afro-Americans owned their own homes. In Texas which has only two-thirds of Mississippi's Afro-American population 23,206 Afro-American families owned their homes in 1900. In 1900, 21,973 Afro-Americans owned farms in Mississippi. In Texas and Kentucky, with a combined Afro-American population not quite equal to that of Mississippi, 25,541 Afro-Americans were farm owners. But why pile up statistics? Those already cited, we believe, fatally disable Mr. Humphrey's opinions. As fatal to them also is plain common sense, which tell us that it is impossible for men, oppressed and intimidated, to equal the achievements of men who are free and spirited. Word comes from Springfield, Mass., that the militia circles are much disturbed over the candidacy of Harry D. Fisher, a Negro, for the position of the second lieutenant in Company K. Second Regiment, State militia. Fisher says that he is the logical candidate for the office and purposes to obtain it. RACE NEWS. E. B. Kennedy, of Newton, Kan. applied for a patent for a puttying tool. It said that this invention is the greatest ever known. A South Carolina jury and court have sentenced a white man to the gallows for murdering a Negro. This in a State where it is rare that a white man is condemned to death for murdering a white man. The Arkansas Appreciator says that down in that section recently a white man was lynched, his son given twenty-one years in the penitentiary and one is being held for trial in the superior court and all for assault upon womanhood. We would add that down in Carroll county, this state, J. B. Williard, a white man, is under arrest for a criminal assault upon a highly respectable white woman, 18 years of age. The color line was drawn in Wauhesha, Wis., recently. Every hotel in the city refused to admit the five colored members of the Maryland Jubilee Company, which gave a concert at the Congregational Church under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. The situation was explained at the concert, and the colored men were entertained overnight at the best homes in the city. President S.B. Harding, of the Modern Steel Structural company, and R.P.

A. located at 3137 Pine street, and will take charge of the building on May 1st. The property represents a frontage of 45 feet on Pine street and 149 feet depth with a modern 3 story brick building with elaborately fitted up club rooms, a spacious gymnasium, entertainment hall and armory. The price paid for the property was $10,500. After May the 1st the headquarters of the grand lodge officers and 14 local lodges, U. R. companies and ladies' courts will be established in the building. Raleigh, N. C., March 20.—Gov. Glenn has received a letter purporting to have come from Mrs. Ida Hales, on whose testimony Walter Partridge, a Negro, is under sentence to be hanged at Fayetteville on April 6th for a criminal attack upon her. She declares that her testimony at the trial, fattening the crime upon Partridge, was false and that she was paid $10 for it. She says that നിങ്ങൾ ചിത്രം: dvertise in The ATESM OF THE ST Patridge was not within three miles of the scene at the time and she is anxious for an opportunity to right the wrong she has committed. The Governor has ordered an investigation. Des Moines, Ia., March 29. Mr. and Mrs. James Bradley of Chariton are the parents of twins, the father being 78 years old and the mother 63. The babies are boys, weighing eight pounds, and a daughter, seven, both healthy and well developed. This is the seventh pair of twins of which he is father, having 17 children in all. He stands six feet one inch in heights and weighs 180 pounds, being a powerful man physically. Both are colored and were slaves together under Gen. Bradley in Louisiana. He belonged to a colored regiment and took in the battles of Vicksburg and Fort Pillow. He was married to his present wife shortly after the war. Vallejo, Cal., March 20.—A. Dorsett, a colored mess attendant, was shot and killed yesterday by James A. Cooper, colored, a mess attendant on the same ship. Cooper is now in jail here, having been brought to Vallejo immediately after the shooting, which occured aboard the ship, and of which Lieutenant Commander W.G. Miller, executive officer, was a witness. It is said that the men began quarreling early in the evening, the wrangling being started by Dorsett, the larger of the two men. Hot words passed, and in the mess room later Cooper, it is said, struck Dorsett over the head with a revoler he had taken from one of the officer's rooms. Dorsett fell to the floor, and Lieutenant Commander Miller entered the room just in time to see Cooper fire three shots into him. The wounded man died a few minutes later. Cooper claims that he acted in self-defence. Louisville, Ky., Mar. 22—A crusade against the practice of peonage has been begun in this State. The Federal grand jury in session, received a strong charge today from Judge Walter Evans, based upon the discovery of the unlawful practice by Dictrict Attorney Hill, Judge Evans said: "The district attorney informs me that for some time he has been investigating peonage cases in this district, and from what he says I am persuaded that a most remarkable state of affairs exists. The thirteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States guarantees liberty to every man, and in support of it a number of laws have been enacted. One of them provides a penalty for any person who shall imprison another due conviction for a crime. This is peonage.

Richmond, Va., March 11. Headed by Maggie L. Walker, who is president of St. Luke's bank, a flourishing institution of Richmond, 22 Negro women today secured a charter from the Corporation Commission and will at once open a big store, to be known as the St. Luke's Emporium. The authorized capital of the company is $25,000, but it is the purpose to largely increase it if the venture is successful. The shares are $10 each, and all of them are being purchased by Negroes. While one or two men are on the board of directors, and a man, Jos. N. Meyers is vice-president, the whole business practically is in the hands of women. The head of the business Maggie L. Walker, has been a leading figure in the business world here for some time. Under her guidance St. Luke's bank has become a flourishing institution and Negroes are being trained to save their money, and to deposit it regularly. The women connected with the new store are wives and daughters of the leading Negro residence, many of whom own property and have comfortable bank accounts. Be Careful What You Say. In speaking of a person's faults Pray don't forget your own. Remember those with homes of glass, Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do Than talk of those who sin. It is better to begin at home, And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried; Should we not like his company, We know the world is wide. Some may have faults and who have not? The old as well as young; Perhaps we may for aught we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan, And find it works full well. To try my own defets to cure, Ere others faults I tell; And though I sometimes hope to be No worse than some I know. My own short comings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us all when we begin To slander friend or foe; Think of the harm one word may do To those we little know. Remember curses sometimes like Our chicken roost at home; Don't speak of others faults until We have none of our own. —MISS HELEN CLAY. Automobile Baby Carriage. Automobile Baby Carriage.

The annual convention of the National Federation of Musical Clubs will be held in Denver the week beginning June 5th. St. Luke's Hospital in Leadville has been purchased by a syndicate of Leadville physicians, who will rebuild and enlarge it. Active preparations are being made for the annual convention of the American Stockgrowers' Association, which meets at Denver May 9th. Ex-Governor John L. Routt is reported to be very ill in Denver of an affection of the heart. He will be seventy-nine years old in a few weeks. Herman Lesche, a barber, committed suicide at Cripple Creek a few days ago by shooting himself through the body. He had a barber shop in the Masonic building. Clarence E. Hagar has been re-elected secretary of the State Board of Charities and Corrections for another term. He is also secretary for the Board of Pardons. On March 24th William Wood, a miner, was precipitated 300 feet down a shaft in the Ajax mine at Victor by the breaking of one of the rounds of a ladder. Death was instantaneous. The State Land Board has decided to give the Denver Park Commission a twenty-years' leave on forty acres of ground adjoining the City park on the west side at a yearly rental of $3,000. The Douglas County Ditch and Reservoir Company, capitalized at $150,000, has been formed to construct two large reservoirs, one being in Stone canon and one just south of the Santa Fe bridge at Larkspur. An expensive cement plant, backed by Pueblo capital, is to be erected one mile south of Verde station, on the Rio Grande, twenty-two miles south of Pueblo, and H. H. Born will be the manager of the new concern. Mrs. Lillie Barnes has been appointed substitute mail carrier for rural route No. 1, and Mrs. Lucy McDonald substitute for route No. 2, at Greeley. The husbands of these women are the carriers on the routes. The Grand Junction Construction Company has been organized to build an electric railroad from Grand Junction to Palisades. A bond has been given that two miles of the line shall be completed within the next eighteen months. Little three-year-old Earl Francis Purcell, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Francis Purcell of Denver, awoke March 23rd, after a sleep that had lasted seven days and nights. When the sleep began he had been exhausted by epileptic convulsions. The American Smelting and Refining Company has announced the adoption of the eight-hour system at its Pueblo plants, applicable to all except yard men. It will first affect the furnace and roaster men, but all will come under its provisions. Frank Sundberg, a farmer who lives nine miles northeast of Berthoud, had a heavy team of draft horses stolen during the night of March 22d. He traced them to Denver and recovered the horses at a livery stable, where the trifle had sold them for $200. All arrangements have been made for the meeting of the Arkansas Valley Press Association at Canon City May 5th, and President Hardy has sent out invitations to all newspaper men from Leadville to the Kansas line and from Colorado Springs to Trinidad. Miss Katharine L. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction, visited Summit county the week ending March 25th. She rode from Breckenridge to Dillon in a sleigh over snow reported to be nearly ten feet deep and returned the same way to address the meeting at Breckenridge. Denver is being a good deal troubled by the coming of hundreds of indigent consumptives who are unloaded on Colorado by Eastern communities. A report the other day that forty consumptives were to be sent to Denver from Fort Scott, Iowa, aroused active remonstrance. C. S. Clark, a farmer living in the Box Elder valley, six miles northeast of Fort Collins, has lost nine head of valuable horses by ptomaine poisoning from eating musty carrots. Dr. Lamb, state veterinarian, was called to investigate the case, and his verdict agreed with that of the local doctors. Counterfeit $20 and $10 bills are reported to have been passed in Pueblo and Cripple Creek, and perhaps other parts of the state.

The family of Martin Bender, living on Currant creek, in the southeast part of Park county, may be entirely exterminated by scarlet fever. Within two weeks the two little daughters of the family and the father have died, and word was received at Alma on the 29th ult, that the mother was not expected to live. Martin Bender was a prominent ranchman and stock grower of the county, and a son of the late John Bender, former county commissioner of Park county. MYSTERIES IN TWO OILS. Rhodium and Cumin Have Strange Attraction for Eisles and Animals. BUTION FOR FISHS AND ANIMALS. "The oil of rhodium is supposed to have a strange attraction for fish," said an angler. "This oil costs $2 for a tiny vest pocket vial. Nevertheless the most poverty-stricken of bait fishermen won't hesitate to buy it when he wants to make a big haul of fish. "I believe it is true that the oil of rhodium attracts fish as no natural bait will do. I believe that with a drop of oil of rhodium on his worm an angler can increase his catch of fish sixfold or sevenfold. The fact is, I have had pretty good indirect proof that this is so. "The mysterious oil of rhodium has in oil of cumin a mysterious brother. You have heard of horse tamers—of those strange men who in a few minutes will make a dangerous and ungovernable nag as gentle and tractable as a lap dog? Well, it is said that these men tame their horses with oil of rhodium and oil of cumin sprinkled on their fingers. They let the horse sniff the two oils and at once the animal's ferocity goes out of it and it becomes quiet and kindly in an instant. "I should like to know just what the oils of rhodium and cumin are and I should like to know whether they really have the powerful effect on horses and on fish that they are said to have. No one whom I have consulted, though, can give me any direct and personal evidence about the matter." Just Plain Grab In one of the Chicago divorce mills the other day the case of Bifkins versus Bifkins, or some such name, was called, and a henpecked looking little man arose, walked over to the witness chair, and sadly sank into it. During the course of the trial it came out that the domestic tranquility of the Bifkins home had been disturbed over financial affairs. "You charge in your bill that your wife, the defendant, took too much of your money," said the wife's lawyer. "Yes, sir," admitted the husband. "Can you tell me something about the distribution of the funds in your family?" asked the lawyer. "There wasn't any distribution," answered the little man. "Well, that's strange," said the lawyer. "You say there was no distribution, but that your wife got too much of your money. What do you mean by such contradictory statements?" "They are not contradictory," said the husband. "There was no distribution. It was grab." From the eternal shadow rounding, All unsure and starlight here. Voices of our lost ones sounding, Bleak the silence of the earth. Through the silence, down the spaces, falling on the inward ear. Know we not our dead are looking Downward, as in sad surprise, All our strife of words rebuking With their mild and earnest eyes? Shall we grieve the holy angels, shall we throw them to the ground? Let us hold their manacles 'er us, Which have fallen in our way; Let us do the work before us Calmly, bravely, while we may. Ere the long night-silence cometh, and with us it is not the same. John G. Whittier. Knotty Legal Problem. A curious question has arisen in the Maine courts. Last winter several important cases were tried at the January session for Androscoggin county and marked "law court." Immediately after the term ended the court stenographer died, and no one can be found who can translate his notes, because of his peculiar system of shorthand. Must they be retried, and, if so, at whose expense? Defect in Electoral College. Congressman Charles F. Scott of Kansas, writing of the session of the electoral college in Washington, says: "It is a little singular that neither the constitution nor the laws provide for a certificate of election to president or vice president, or an official notification to them of their election. They simply have to take somebody's word for it." BELIEFS OF A BENEDICT. Fear of acceptance spoils many a proposal. Accidents will happen to the best regulated husbands. Most married men agree that "head of the house" is simply a brevet title. Many a meek, tired-looking man is suffering only from ingrowing profanity. It makes a fellow sad to reflect that his wife is more afraid of a mouse than she is of him. The correct way of arranging furniture in a room is the way the husband doesn't want it. The Minnehaha.

ALABASTINE COMPANY JAPAN STILL ACTIVE FIGHTING TO COMMAND PEACE Oyama Crowding Retreating Russians —Japan Strenthening Her Army and Navy to Continue War. Tokio, March 31.—The various rumors of peace negotiations emanating from Europe and the United States are widely published and commented on here. Apparently they don't affect the attitude of the Japanese government and people toward the war. The press re-echoes the announced determination of Japan to viborously push the military operations, unmoved and undeterred by discussions of events in Russia of elsewhere. The Jiji declares that the successive reverses have not affected Russia. Emperor Nicholas, the paper adds, is unwilling to sacrifice the prestige of his house or surrender the position of controlling influence Russia has heretofore held over the powers of Europe. Field Marshal Oyama's army will keep up its forward movement and not give Russia a breathing moment. The Kokumin pronounces the war to be senseless and wasteful on the part of Russia, but, the paper says, if she chooses to shut her eyes to the light of reason, Japan will profit by her blindness. The Nichi Nichi says France alone is capable of taking the initiative in persuading Russia to negotiate for peace, but the Nichi Nichi doubts of Russia would accept France's advice, "because the peace terms will mean the death of the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy is not committing suicide." In conclusion, the Nichi Nichi says: "In the meantime the Japanese army and navy will continue preparations for the year's campaign. Fresh levies are constantly departing for the front, the lines of transportation are extending into northern Manchuria, and the vanguards of the fighting columns are following the retreating Russians northward." PRESIDENT'S HUNTING TRIP. Details of Arrangements Made for Stay in Colorado. Denver, March 31.—Arrangements for President Roosevelt's hunting trip into Colorado have been perfected, so far as the train service goes. The exact location of the camp, however, has not been selected. Guides will explore the country around Glenwood Springs next week to ascertain the conditions regarding snow, etc., and decide upon a location for headquarters. The Roosevelt party will comprise about fifteen persons and will travel in a special train of three pullmans, most elaborately furnished and equipped with all conveniences to be found in the best hotel. The transfer of the train over the country will be complimentary to the President, an act of courtesy extended by the several railroads over whose lines the President will travel. The President's special will be delivered to the Colorado & Southern road at Fort Worth, Texas, April 8th, at 10:45 a. m., and will run to Vernon, Texas, reaching there at 4:15. There the train will be transferred to the Frisco system and the party will take a run up into the Indian Territory for a short shooting trip. On April 13th, at 9:30 p. m., the train will be taken in charge again by the Colorado & Southern, proceeding direct to Colorado Springs, arriving at 9:30 p. m. Friday. At Colorado Springs the special will be transferred to the Colorado Midland and proceed to Glenwood Springs, reaching there about 8 o'clock the following morning. Where the party will then proceed will depend upon the report of the guides who will take the exploring tour next week. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. Denver Credit Men's Association Prosecution Fund. Denver, Colo., March 31.—Few people are aware of the importance of The Denver Credit Men's Association. This association is organized for protection and educational purposes; to establish closer ties of business and social relations between its members as well as between them and its customers; to bring about improvements in business methods; reforms in all laws unfavorable to creditors and honest debtors, and the enactment of laws beneficial to commerce within its trade territory, and to aid in precept, example and counsel in removing to the greatest possible extent the causes that lead to financial failure. This association (with a membership of 200 of the principal wholesalers and manufacturers of the state) has for the last eight years had a fund of $10,000 to be used for the prosecution of fraudulent failures, and to the honor of the retail merchants of the state of Colorado be it said that in all the eight years only two cases have been brought before the association; both of these cases, one of them a violation of the law regulating the sale of stocks in bulk, were carried to a successful ending in favor of the association. Contest Appropriation Denver, March 31.—The Republican this morning says: The financiers of the House and Senate, the politicians and the lawyers finished the computation of the cost of the contest for the governorship yesterday. The total will be $90,067.64. The attorneys who quarrelled so fiercely before the contest committee, and would give no quarter, sheathed their animosities and joined issue to get an appropriation. This lawyer's pool succeeded in getting the figure raised for the attorneys from $15,000 to $20,000. It is provided in the bill that Chairman Fairley of the Republican central committee and Chairman Smith of the Democratic state committee shall each receive $10,000 to go to the costs of the contest, the idea being to have them divide the sums among the lawyers and others. Mr. Fairley did not expect the money and he will donate the sum to a Colorado college to establish a chair on political economy.

MISS BULL RECOVERS FEARFUL DECLINE OF STRENGTH COMPLETELY ARRESTED. Medical Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itself in Vain Attempts to Relieve Her—A Remarkable Result. The recovery of Miss Gertrude L. Bull is of great interest to the medical world. A very bad cough followed a severe attack of pneumonia. It seemed impossible to break it up or to restore her strength, which had been sadly underlined. In spite of the best efforts of the doctors and the use of several advertised modes of treatment her condition daily grew more serious. She finally discontinued all medicine and gave herself up to despair. "What was your condition at this time?" she was asked. "My stomach was so weak I could not keep food down. I suffered from constant nausea. My kidneys were in terrible condition. My feet and ankles were swollen so badly that it pained me even to stand on them. I was very billions. My heart was in bad shape so I could not go up and down stairs or stand any exertion or sleep in a natural position." "It seems a wonder that you should ever have recovered. How did it happen?" "You may well call it a marvel, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wrought it. None of my friends thought I could live many months longer. My parents had no hope. Just then a pamphlet advertising Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People was thrown in our door. It was a great event for me. These pills saved me from the grave. Within a week from the time I began to take them I felt better, and in three months I was entirely well. I cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly and I dearly hope that my experience may bring good to some other sufferers." Miss Bull, who was so remarkably cured, resides at Union Grove, Illinois, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act immediately on the blood, purifying and enriching it. In all debilitating diseases, such as lung troubles, grip, fevers, and in all cases in which the system is thoroughly run down, these pills perform wonders. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. A valuable booklet on diseases of the blood, will be sent free to any one who applies for it to Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

The proposition to have the Czar take the field has been amended to provide that he shall take to the tall timber. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present themselves as patients inpatient, and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality they are all only symptoms caused by some womb disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages this practice until large births are made. The suffering would be worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of pain. It has probably said that "a disease known is half cured." In cases almost innumerable, after all other medicines had failed to help and doctors had said there was no cure possible, the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, supplemented when necessary by medical advice and counsel of Dr. Pierce, has resulted in a perfect cure. These cures is attested not only by the entire disappearance of pain, but by a gain of flesh, a clear complexion and a cheerful disposition. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES.

ASSIST NATURE a little now and then, with a gentle laxative, or, if need be, with a more searching and cleansing, yet gentle cathartic, to remove offending matter from the stomach and bowels, to tone up and relax the muscles, to harden the tardy action, and you thereby avoid a multitude of derangements and diseases. Of all known agents to accomplish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequaled. Once used they are not only safe but also durable to keep the bowels open and regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and their attendant discomfort and manifold derangements. The "Pleasant Pellets" are valuable in all cases of biflousness, sick and billious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation of the bowels, sour stomach, windy belchings, "heart-burn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. --- COLORADO STATESMAN 8.

The proprietor of this paper leaves no stone unturned and spares no reasonable expense to make it an up-to-date Twentieth century organ of the race and we leave it to the fair and considerate judgment of our readers whether we have not measurably succeeded. But to reach that high standard of excellence at which we aim and to extend and continue the usefulness of this paper it is necessary that our patrons should assist us in meeting our heavy expenses by the prompt payment of their subscription. No enterprise however worthy and benevolent can be supported or carried on without money. And this paper is no exception to the rule. POLICE DISCRIMINATION. Can it be possible that the Police Department of Denver, in the ferreting out and suppression of crime, has adopted a certain rule of action where whites are concerned and an entirely different one when the victims happen to be colored? A week or two ago a white woman reported at the police headquarters that a pair of earrings was taken from her on the street, and that she thought the thief was a Negro. Quicker than one could say scat! a detail of police was sent out and a hundred Negroes were indiscriminately gathered up and thrown into the city jail, without warrant of arrest. They spent a night or two in prison and were then discharged without any specific offense being charged against them. It was quite sufficient in the judgment of our great chief of police, that the victim being white and the criminal supposed to be colored, that the entire Negro population should be arrested. But how different is the conduct of the Police in the case of Mrs. Julia Hubbard, one of the most influential colored ladies of the city. Last Saturday night while on her way home she was severely slugged with some heavy weapon by some thug who she thinks was a colored man. The case was immediately reported by telephone to the Police department, but, they have paid no attention to it. Mrs. Hubbard suffered great pain and injuries which threaten to leave permanent marks. But she is colored, and that seems to be good and sufficient reason for the department to ignore the case. PROSPERITY. The outlook for a prosperous year in Colorado is becoming brighter day by day. In Denver great activity is taking place, in the building trades. Great business blocks of many stories are being planned to go up on sites where fires have made vacancies or where old and unsightly buildings have reached a stage where the exigencies of trades and the elegancies of a modern and progressive city loudly clamor for their removal. The residential parts also feel the full impulse of this rising tide of industrial activity. Real estate is rapidly changing hands at good figures. Private residences, flats and terraces (some of a very pretentious character) are scheduled to rise in various parts of the city. Considerable paving of streets is under way, while a plan is being matured by the public-spirited business men, aided by the city, to so decorate Seventeenth street by substantial, ornamental and useful improvements as to make that busy artery of traffic one of the most magnificent and beautiful thorougfares in the country. This all gives employment to labor at good living wages. And herein lies the opportunity of the colored laborer. There will be work for the bricklayer, the carpenter, the plasterer, the layer of asphalt, and last but not least the great army of hod-carriers. Our people are more or less represented in all these lines of useful industry. We should early take advantage of these openings and stick to them through the season, saving as much money as we can for a rainy day or to buy homes. In this connection we are pleased to record the fact obtained from many reliable sources, that the race seems more awakened than ever to the great necessity of owning their homes. Many imbued with this spirit are investing every dollar they can save in real estate, and are laying the foundation to become in time substantial and influential citizens. For it must not be forgotten that the ownership of a part of the soil in any community in which one lives always clothes the owner with a certain added dignity, respect and influence which he could not otherwise enjoy. This is above all the time to invest, since it is hardly conceivable that times in Denver will be in the future as quiet as during the past year. The discrimination and exclusion which have been so potent against the race in the matter of renting desirable houses have proved a blessing in disguise, for this policy is compelling them to buy their own homes and thus take root in the country.

Denver, Colo., March 27.—Colorado mourned the death of Senator Edward O. Wolcott yesterday. Memorial services were held in the Broadway theater in the afternoon and thousands of citizens crowded and filled the building until there was no longer standing room. Many members of the Legislature were present. The first five rows of seats had been put aside for the use of them and their families and they were all taken. Govenor McDonald and the state officials, with their assistants, filled the boxes on the right side of the house. Henry Wolcott and Anna L. Wolcott, brother and sister of Senator Wolcott, and their friends were in the boxes on the left side. With them were the families of Joel F. Valle and W. C. Waterman, the law partners of Mr. Wolcott. The memorial services were held under the auspices of the Colorado Republican Club, of which John W. Springer is president. But it was more than memorial services held in memory of a Republican by Republicans. Senator Wolcott was a Republican leader, and it was deemed fitting that Republicans should take charge of the services. But it was the people of the state who mourned, and they mourned not that a Republican leader had gone, but that a great Coloradan had died. After the invocation by Rev. Frank T. Bayley, the double-quartet and the audience sang "Christ for the World," written by Samuel Wolcott, the father of Senator Wolcott. Justice John Campbell of the Supreme Court then delivered an address on Senator Wolcott as "The Citizen." Among other things he said: "When the people of Colorado, by their chosen representatives, twice elected to the United States Senate Edward Oliver Wolcott, they honored themselves quite as much as they did him. That he was not continuously kept there must not be interpreted as a lack of appreciation by his constituents, or that he had not faithfully represented their interests. For all concede that with distinguished ability and rare fidelity he discharged the duties and maintained the dignity of his high office." After a solo, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Mrs. W. J. Whiteman, Hon. Joel F. Vaile spoke of Senator Wolcott as "The Lawyer." He told the dead senator's career at the bar; of his unimpeachable integrity; of his brilliancy and wonderful oratorical powers, and read selections from his speeches. Hon. A. M. Stevenson spoke on Mr. Wolcott as "The Statesman." He said: "When the great Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the treasury, Oliver Wolcott was comptroller of the treasury. In 1795, when Alexander Hamilton left his high office, Oliver Wolcott succeeded him. It was on the strong arm of this member of the family that Washington leaned for support. Senator Wolcott was Oliver Wolcott's kinsman. "He was the peer of any senator in the United States. His friends and intimates at Washington were the best and greatest of our statemen. When he addressed the Senate every member was in his seat and the public galleries and those of the diplomatic corps and of official Washington were always filled. "He went to Washington thoroughly imbued with the ideas and sentiments of the people of the West, and especially those of his own state, upon economic questions, and at once became a leader, both in counsel and debate, upon all subjects connected with the monetary system of his country. He believed then that the free and unrestricted coinage of silver by the independent action of the United States was possible. "He soon learned that the contest had been carried on so long and the opposition to silver had become so strong that even the free coinage of American silver was an impossibility, but he still refused to unconditionally surrender, and almost single-handed and alone he persuaded President McKinley during his first administration to appoint a monetary commission to visit the leading nations of Europe and try if possible to agree upon the relative value between gold and silver as money, with free mintage at a common ratio. President McKinley appointed him as head of the American commission. "The commission went abroad and met the representatives of England and France, and had encouraging words from Germany. "I candidly believe that had these efforts had behind them the loyal support of the bimetallists of this and other countries an agreement would have been reached of incalculable benefit to the people of Colorado. "He was a manly man. He hated shams and fought in the open. He was a loyal friend, and has left us a legacy of kind and generous deeds. Mr. Springer, as president of the club, delivered the "In Memoriam." He said: "His scholastic attainments, his intrepid and fearless courage, his lofty patriotism, coupled with an irresistible personality, supplemented by his bewitching oratorical ability, made him the peer of any man during that senatorial period, and Colorado became famous as Edward Oliver Wolcott went up and down the land, swaying tens of thousands with his matchless powers of oratory and brilliancy of diplomatic address. Out of the West had burst a meteoric personality, and his retirement, by a political upheaval in Colorado, was a cause for regret throughout the entire nation." Japanese Restore Railway.

Lee says that one of the strongest traits of his father's character was his reliance on God as the supreme arbiter in all the affairs of men. In this Lee was not different from other great leaders of the confederacy. Jefferson Davis constantly called on his people to repair to their churches and thank God for victory or implore his favor in their sacred cause. Often all the churches of the larger southern cities were crowded to their utmost capacity at week-day prayer services. After the first battle of Manassas Gen. Lee said: "The battle will be repeated there in greater force. I hope God will again smile on us and strengthen our hearts and arms." When he was in the midst of the struggle for West Virginia, he wrote out of the fullness of his heart: "I enjoyed the mountains as I rode along. The views are magnificent—the valleys so beautiful, the scenery so peaceful. What a glorious world Almighty God has given us! How thankless and ungrateful we are and how we labor to mar his gifts!"—Chicago News. YOUTHFULNESS OF THE MIND. Enjoyment and Zest for Life Not Confined to the Young. Youthfulness is a quality very difficult to describe. As often as not it proceeds from the mind rather than from appearance, and one often feels with middle-aged and elderly people that they are in reality far more youthful in ideas, in the keenness of their enjoyment and in their fresh outlook than many of one's acquaintances who in point of years are mere girls. It is said that every age has its compensations and undoubtedly there are many mothers of families and grandmothers, too, who own to an enjoyment and zest for life equal to that experienced in early years. Youthfulness is temperament and the capacity for taking the simple goods that are to be found in existence rather than in waiting for superlative joys which may never arrive. The bored person or either sex is invariably a wearisome companion, while one with a keen sense of enjoyment adds to the well-being of others a thousand fold.—Exchange. Mrs. J. W. Jackson was very sick this week. Mrs. Neil is able to be out again after a severe illness. Mrs Ed. Miller who has been quite sick has recovered. Mrs. Sam Jeans of Lawrence Kans. will return to her home today. R. Olliver of Alamoso Colo., was in the city last week on business. P. E. Jordan Allen will leave tomorrow morning for Colorado Springs. We are glad to announce that W. A. Watkins is able to be out again after a week's illness. B. F. Harris has accepted a position on an observation car of the Denver & Rio Grande R. R. James Pate, the only colored guard at the State penitentiary, is said to be one of the most efficient men in that capacity. Mesdames Fisher and Bosley of Council Grove, Kansas, are in the city visiting with their daughter and sister, Mrs. Kate Pullam. Mrs. Geo. S. Contee left last Thursday for Columbus Mo., to visit her sister, she will also visit Atchison, Kans., and other points of Missouri. Mr. George Bland and Mrs. Jennie V. Thomas were united in the holy bounds of matrimony last Monday night by Rev. W.W. S. Dyett of Shorter Chapel. Among our enterprising citizens who have recently purchased homes near Elitches Garden are V. T. Scruggs, J Reynolds and Mrs. J. W. Pertilla. It would be wise for more to follow this example. The New Dancing Academy will be open every Thursday night from 7:30 to 10:30 for instructions. From 10:30 to 12:30 social dancing. Admission 25 oents. R. PHYNIX, Manager. Joseph D. D.

A Musical entertainment will be given at 1919 Welton street, Thursday night, April 6th by Mrs. Minnie Hedspeth for the benefit of Shorter Chapel. Admission 10 cents. An excellent supper will also be served for 20 cents. All invited. GRAND BALL--You are respectfully invited to attend the New Dancing Academy at Manitou hall, 1545 Champa street, Thursday night, April 6, 1905. Will re-open with a grand ball. The Jackson orchestra will furnish music. Admission 35 cents. A grand rally will be held at Shorter A. M. E. church Sunday, April 9th for the purpose of wiping out the indebentness of the church and to have the interior painted. The captains of the various clubs are working vigorously for a big success and the day is looked forward to as a climax one. Rev. George Tillman of Colo. Springs, will be here on that occasion and will preach at 11 a.m. and 7:45 p. m. Rev. W. W. S. Dyett, the pastor, is deserving of the credit that is heaped upon him for his unlimited energy and push as a church worker. The colored orchestra leaders, Harris. Holley and Jackson, together with other musicians of this city, having combined forming a Progressive Musical association and have elected the following officers: Charles Johnson, president; Guy Stills, vice president; Mrs. Mary Lawrence, secretary; John Ector, treasurer; Monroe Tompkins, R. G. Holley, Morgan Jackson, Ex. Comm. The following prices were agreed upon for all engagements where dancing is in order: From 8 to 12 p. m. $2.50 per man; after 12 p. m. 50c per hour per man and $1.00 extra for leaders. These prices will be strictly adhered to by all orchestras. James Cartwright returned last Wednesday night from Grand Junction, Col. where he went to look after some business. He did not state the nature of it but we presume he is interested in a valuable piece of fruit property. Enroute home he spent a day or two in Coaldale, Colo., the guest of Mrs. Hattie Bosier. He reports one of the best times of his life at the hands of his friends at the latter place and while there he and a party spent a day in the mountains hunting bear and mountain lions. They succeeded in capturing one four legged animal with horns, but for fear of the game warden getting "next" we will not state its specie. Knights of Pythias Services. In obedience to a proclamation issued by S. W. Starks, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, the annual Thanksgiving services were observed by Damon Lodge No. 5, Pythias Lodge No. 11, Columbine Court No. 279 and Lilly Cadet Co. No. 1, at Shorters A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. Headed by a brass band the two lodges together with the Uniform Rank and Lilly Cadet company, marched from their hall to the church and notwithstanding the large seating capacity of this edific it was soon filled to overflowing with friends of the order. The preliminary exercises were conducted by Chancellor Commander Harry Jones. Mrs. J. W. Taylor Worthy Counselor of the Court of Calanthe preceeded the Court exercises with a very appropriate address, after which the Chancellor Commander surrendered the gavel to master of ceremonies J. W. Leftridge, who after giving a synopsis of the founding of the order, announced the numbers on the program. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. S. Dyett, and throughout his discourse his words were touching and inspiring. Notwithstanding the fact the Rev. is not a member of the order, he proved to his listeners and especially to the Knights of Pythias that he was well versed on the story of "Damon and Pythias," and at the close of his discourse it was quite evident that a more appropriate sermon could not have been delivered. Such was the sentiment of all. During the services the choir rendered some excellent music. The Knights are in no way biased in eulogizing the services rendered by the pastor and choir.

"The increased cost of living" is a phase that has come into commercial use these later years. It is well enough to get at the meaning of the expression. Plain living, that is a living in which necessity is the limit, costs no more than formerly. But modern tendencies are toward better living and that is where the expense comes in. The necessaries of life and the substantial things of life, such as we all in the early times were glad to get, cost far less now than they cost then. To this statement there is scarcely an exception. But they who complain that the cost of living has increased would not be content now with what we all had to content with then. Better food, more variety, better cooking, lodging furnished better, clothing in better style and of better goods, furniture, equipage, travel and social expense once unknown have increased the cost of living; but they who may be willing to live in the old style simplicity, yet having enough to eat and to wear, can live now more cheaply than at any former time. There can be no question about it.—Leadville Herald Democrat. Salzer's Home Builder Corn. So named because 50 acres produced so heavily, that its proceeds built a lovely home. See Salzer's catalog.

Corporations as a rule are not expected to throw money away recklessly but in Colorado such seems to be an actual fact. The well-known capitalists of Denver joined forces and organized an immense publishing company with a million dollars capital, all of which one of the first acts of the new company was the purchase of that wonderfully successful publication, the Rocky Mountain Magazine, now in its third year. By some of its readers the magazine considered worth $3 per year. It publishes dozens of fine views of scenery, stories of love and adventure and offers a variety of content often acquired so quickly. To cap the climax, dividend shares in the company are issued to subscribers the latter sharing in the profits. Last year the company will likely pay much more this year. The company has appropriated ample cash with the object of securing new credit cards to accomplish their object they are offering to send the magazine each month for a whole year for the nominal sum new credit cards are sent five cents; or, clubs of six names for fifty cents, postage stamps taken. As this is limited offer there's no time to be missed. Seen and told to your friends. Money promptly refunded if you are not more than than usual. You can write.

B. 123, by Keezer, to punish those who remove brass from railway engines. H. B. 139, by Barela, to empower county commissioners to license itinerant peddlers. H. B. 129, by Bromley, concerning assignments for the benefit of creditors. H. B. 392, by Thomas, to appropriate over $69,000 for the payment of the expenses of the governor's contest. H. B. 300, by Hoyt, to pro rate the expense of irrigation districts according to the amount of territory under irrigation. H. B. 64, by Bromley, to amend the laws governing the land board, and to provide a method for placing land board funds on permanent investment. S. B. 8, by Anfenger, providing that the trust deed commissioner of Denver county may succeed to the authority of former trust commissioners. S. B. 10, by Anfenger, in relation to community property. H.

Highway Robbery Bill Because he once looked down the barrel of a gun held in the hand of a "stick-up-gent," Senator Anfenger yesterday afternoon made a heroic effort to save his bill increasing the terms of sentence for robbery. Although the bill finally passed with the maximum sentence, forty years, untouched, it was practically killed, for Senator Hill succeeded in getting an amendment through leaving the minimum penalty to be fixed in the discretion of the court. Senator Anfenger introduced his bill at the request of the district attorney's office, and it was drafted as a result of the long series of holdups with which Denver has been suffering for several years. It is based upon the stringent Illinois law, the operation of which is said to have resulted in a marked decrease in that state of highway robberies. Under the present law in Colorado the most a convicted holdup can get is fourteen years, and it is said that it is because of the laxity of the local law which caused Denver to become infested with robbers of this character a year or so back. The first section of the Anfenger bill which was the only one allowed by the committee, reads as follows: "Every person who shall be convicted of feloniously taking the property of another from his person or in his presence and against his will, by force or violence to his person, or by the use of any drug or liquor, or by putting him in fear of some immediate injury to his person, or who shall be convicted of feloniously taking the property of another from the person of his wife, servant, clerk or agent, in charge thereof, and against the will of such wife, servant, clerk or agent, by violence to the person of such wife, servant, clerk or agent, or by putting him or her in fear of some immediate injury to his or her person, shall be adjudged guilty of robbery in the first degree." The punishment for robbery in the first degree was fixed by the bill at not less than ten years' imprisonment in the penitentiary, nor more than forty years. Senator Parks, when the consideration of the bill came on, wanted the minimum sentence raised to twenty-five years, and made this an amendment. Senator Hill objected and offered a substitute amendment striking out the minimum sentence altogether. "It seems a little inconsistent," he said, "for Senator Antfenger, who has fathered all the juvenile court bills, to come before us with a bill of this kind. I am against this minimum sentence for the reason that it often happens that holdups are committed by young boys. To take ten years out of their lives is to give them no chance whatever at reformation." "I admit that in this bill and in my juvenile court bills it looks like I was playing on both sides of the fence," replied Senator Anfenger. "But hold-ups are not committed by the boys of Judge Lindsey's court. If they are committed by young men at all they are nearly always ex-convicts or with strong criminal tendencies. "Any one who has ever had the experience, as I have, of being held up at 1 o'clock at night, will feel that ten years is not too heavy a minimum sentence. I took just one look down the barrel of that gun and then took to my heels, and ever since I have wanted that fellow to come within the toils of the law. Any one knows that a hold-up, if resisted, is prepared to kill. I think the law ought to be made as stringent as possible." Senator Hill took the position that the tendency of modern times was to leave the minimum sentence to the court. He said that in recent years Congress had left this matter entirely to the federal judges to decide. Upon a vote the Hill amendment carried, and then the bill was passed on second reading with this amendment. Bills Passed by the House. The following House bills were passed on third reading in the House March 22d and sent to the Senate for action: H. B. 26, by Hutt—To provide that suits affecting public utilities must be tried in the counties in which the utilities exist. H. B. 95, by Thomas—To provide that persons and companies employing women clerks must provide seats for them. H. B. 221, by Wilder—Fixing time for terms of court in Archuleta county. H. B. 187, by Alexander—Providing for the establishment of county fish hatcheries. H. B. 185, by Keezer—Providing that the theft of chickens shall be grand larceny. Bills passed on second reading in committee of the whole, with Mr. Bromley in the chair: H. B. 2, by Baer—To appropriate $6,000 for the repairs of the state wagon road between Denver and Grand Junction. H. B. 6, by Breckenridge—To appropriate $4,000 for the construction of a bridge in Rio Grande county. H. B. 88, by Gordon—To appropriate $5,500 for the construction of a wagon road in Eagle county. FAMILY SPIRIT LOST FAMILY SPIRIT LOST PEOPLE LARGELY WANDERERS "Higher education," says Bishop Potter, "has increased woman's selfishness." The divorce," he adds, "is merely a recognition of something which has already been accomplished. What, therefore, we must study are the causes for this passing of the family spirit, this degeneration of the home instinct. And what we must aim at is the recreation of the family in the patriarchal sense." In other words, the individual interest has excluded the social and society becomes an aggregate of unrelated units. Such a result might have been expected. In old times the man died in the village where he was born. In the churchyard were the graves of his parents and grandparents and more remote ancestors. He was identified with his family and the circle of his friends. He had no life apart from them. In our time the boy who stays at home is a dull boy. The ambitious go West or to China, or South Africa; wherever he is he must go somewhere else. Ancient ties are broken and the individual lives for himself alone. He does not know where his grandfather lies buried. Often he does not know his full name. The habits of selfishness acquired while he is making his fortune cling to him after he marries. Is it wonderful that trouble often comes? It is a growth of the time which must be accepted as a fact and turned to social account, difficult as the task may be. Probably the "family in the patriarchal sense" will never be restored, but the family, vital and inductible, is essential to civilization; it will outlive the chaos of selfishness and be the nucleus of a saner and stronger life.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch What the Dentist Says. Toledo, Ohio, March 27th—(Special.) —Harry T. Lewis, the well known dentist of 607 Sumit street, this city, is telling of his remarkable cure of Kidney Disease by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was flat on my back and must say I had almost given up all hope of ever getting any help," says Dr. Lewis. "My kidneys had troubled me for years. The pains in my back were severe and I had to get up several times at night. I tried different medicines but kept on getting worse till I was laid up. "Then a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and in about two weeks I started to improve. Now I am glad to admit I am cured and I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly." If you take Dodd's Kidney Pills when your kidneys first show signs of being out of order you will never have Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Gravel or Rheumatism. Fifty-three Sundays this Year. The fellow who was looking for odities has discovered that the year 1905 began on Sunday and will close on Sunday. Further, that this will not happen again in 110 years. There are fifty-three Sundays in 1905. RESTORED HIS HAIR S.ulp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment—After All Else Had Failed. "I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, a friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from any further annoyance. I shall always use Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the hair and scalp. (Signed) Fredk'k Busche, 213 East 57th St., New York City." Now it is said that the Russian fleet is to go to Togo. 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 ¼-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. The mercury in the thermometer isn't always an early riser.

J. C. FERGUSON, General Agent 941 17th St., Denver ITS MERIT IS PROVED RECORD OF A GREAT MEDICINE A Prominent Cincinnati Woman Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Completely Cured Her. The great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, and thinking people generally. Mrs. Sara Wilson The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvelous results among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham— "Above all, I am a sufferer with work trouble, which has caused severe pain extreme nervousness and frequent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore heartily recommend yirr Compound as a splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly pain without pain; and what a blessing it is to find such a doctor so many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend it to all suffering women."—Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 3d Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

ROCKEFELLER’S GIFT OPPOSED BY MANY CLERGYMEN. Ol! Monopolist’s Gift to Foreign Mie signs! Avmakene Many Earn- See cae Boston, March 31,—Despite the fact that the prudential committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions has practically de- cided to accept the gift of $100,000 from John D. Rockefeller to further the work of the board, a committee representing the Congregational cler- gymen of Boston and vicinity who are opposed to the acceptance of the gift ‘met yesterday and decided to continue the protest. It was agreed by the members of the committee that a wide expression of opinion on the question was desir- able, and for this purpose a commit: tee was appointed to submit the facts and documents in the matter to the Congregational ministers of the coun- try. The prudential committee will not take final action on the acceptance of Mr. Rockefeller’s gift for two weeks, and it is the intention of the protest: ing committee to learn, if possible, the general fecling among the clergymen of the denomination. Dr, Washington Gladden of Colum- bus, Ohio, and President Tucker of Dartmouth College were in communi- cation with the- committee by tele gram and letter. President Hucker wrote in part: “As ‘regards the general position taken by the defenders of the action of the prudential committee in accept: ing Mr. Rockefeller’s gift, that a mis- sionary organization has no right to discriminate in regard to the money received lest it passed unwarranted judgment upon the business methods of the donor, I take issue at once. ‘The acceptance by the American Board of a gift from this source, under the present conditions, must mean one of | two things—either the board believes | that the business methods involved are correct or that they are a matter of moral indifference so far as. the reception of the money is concerned. For one, I do not like to see the Ameri- can Board take either one of these positions. Such action hurts the con- Science of the coming generation more than that of the generation which is | passing. It is not an incentive to mis: sionary zeal. No organization set to | the high and lasting ends of Christian | Service can allow itself to be thought indifferent to the moral issues of the | day whenever these issues are neces | sarily affected by its action.” Will Build to Salt Lake. Denver, March 31.—The Republican this morning says: David H. Moffat returned from the East last evening, wearied by his trip, but elated over the fact that he has been able to finance the Denver, North- western & Pacific railroad in ‘a man- ner quite satisfactory to himself. He went directly to the Denver Club, where, after a brief rest, he prepared the following statement: “I have made such satisfactory ar: rangements in the Rast as will enable me to go on with the Denver, North: western & Pacific raiiroad as a orig: inally contemplated. “My associates In the East are not connected with any of the trunk Iine railroads, so the stories heretofore published that the Union Pacific, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande, respectively, had purchased the Denver, Northwest ern & Pacific are without foundation in fact. “I expect to let further contracts as soon as weather conditions will per nrit, and hope to reach Hot Sulphur Springs by July 1st, and by January 1st should haye my tracks in Routt county to receive shipments of coal. I have as surances that I shall have money as fast as the necessities of construction require, to enable me to go on to Salt Lake, “This is all I have to say at present. “D. H.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, March 31. —Chinese merchants arriving from Mukden relate that the Japanese have taken over the administration of Man churia. ‘They have installed Japanese officials in place of the Chinese, have taken possession of the Russian ad- ministrative buildings and have es tablished a Japanese police force at Mukden. ‘The work of converting the railroad from Port Dalny to Mukden into a nar row gauge road has been completed. giving the Japanese three railroad lines of supply, from Seoul by way of Fengwangcheng, from Port Dalny to Mukden, and over the Sinmintin road, which the Japanese are reported to have leased. Tampering Withii Withesdea: Chicago, March 31.—Conspiracy in- dictments’ are threatened against heads of big meat packing concerns unless alleged tampering with wit nesses who have been summoned to testify before the federal grand jury is discontinued at once. With two witnesses on the stand yesterday who, it is asserted, admitted that they had been approached with a suggestion that their testimony be mild, the jury, it is declared, is getting ready to take drastic action. “We will shut off interference with witnesses,” said Assistant Attorney General Pagin last night, “even if we have to resort to proceedings under the conspiracy statute to do so.” Dynamiter’s Sanity Questioned. New York, March 31.—Gessler Ros- seau, the convicted dynamiter, may be subjected to an investigation as to his sanity. When Rosseau was found guilty of sending an infernal machine to the liner Umbria, and con- fessed that it was he who attempted to blow up the statue of Frederick the Great, it was announced that sentence would be pronounced to-day. It is said, however, that Recorder Goff is not Satisfied to pass sentence without first learning more about the dynamiter, and has decided to defer sentence pending an investigation into the prisoner's antecedents, character and state of mind and health.

WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING Velvet will be worn late, and all shades of mauve and violet will be especially popular. For the late spring and summer white will be the thing, just as white satin reigned supreme this winter. Modified redingotes will be worn this spring, but so many cheap ones have already been seen that their popularity has rather waned. Made by a good tailor and on simple lines, worn over a plain skirt and by a woman who holds herself well, they are extremely good looking. The Louis XVI. and XV. coats are holding their own, and are economical and in good taste always, and for hotels and moving about from place to place, either here or abroad, a couple of these jackets would be just the thing, say, a light, low-necked one of flowered silk, to wear with light skirts, and a black one of silk or satin, with lace jabot and light waistcoat. White Lace and Ribbon. New lace waist, trimmed with pale green satin ribbon, the ends trimmed with pale ibbon, the ends of which pass through silk rings to match and are unfinished in little ears. Matching too rich The full sleeves and deep cuffs are trimmed to correspond, the latter finished at the wrists with lace ruffles. The girdle is of satin, The Paris Gowns. From Paris comes word that the new gowns for the elegantes who have fled to the Mediterranean, which compares to our Florida, are practically all made with the fullness of the sleeve pushed quite up to the top of the arm. The lower part is very often, it is true, gathered or gauged or made essentially full; but all this folding is caught in to the shape of the arm, so as to outline it, and in many cases the fullness left loose at the top is practically a deep epaulet and no more. Skirts are also made to sit closely to the figure at the top and flow in full folds below the knee, the length all round being as nearly the same as the necessity for walking allows—that is to say, in the front the skirt is made to lie as much on the ground as it can do without tripping up its owner constantly, and then the sides and back are alike three or four inches on the ground. Such skirts are unsuited for the promenade, for which cloths are provided. Many of these have short jackets, or boleros, over deep silk belts, and in no case are the sleeves exaggerated in any fashion, but generally are simple coat sleeves. French women who dress well do so by exercising common sense in such matters; nothing can be too "fussy" for the smart costume; but the simple, everyday frock is a practical affair before all. Pretty Kimonos. There is nothing prettier nor more girlish in the way of dressing sacques than a short kimono, especially when its Japanese character is brought out by the material of which it is made. If a plain color is used, let it be of some soft pale shade, with the bands that border it of a contrasting color. If there is time and work to spare, a design of scattered blossoms, embroidered in natural colors, makes up charmingly and makes it still more Japanese. Drapery silks, well covered with chrysanthemums or cherry blossoms, are the next best substitute, and are both wide and inexpensive, although a number of cotton stuffs, which will bear repeated washings, are much less expensive and almost as effective. Russian Blouse Suit for Little Boy. The illustration shows a suit of brown holland, opening shirt fashion in front, with a lap and three buttons. A white linen "Buster Brown" collar and red tie, with a red enameled leather belt held in place by straps of the material sewed to the side seams, give the necessary color touch to the neutral tint in front, with a lap and three buttons. A white linen "Buster Brown" collar and red tie, with a red enamelled leather belt held in place by straps of the material sewed to the side seams, give the necessary color touch to the neutral tint of the nolland. The full sleeves are held in place at the wrist by backward turning tucks. The bloomers extend a short distance below the skirt of the blouse. This suit would be very serviceable made of dark blue or brown cheviot. Spring Styles in Suits. The street suits which are being turned out from the Paris workrooms are handsome, but it can truthfully be said, even after a study of their best points, that they are no better than those of homemake. They are not as neat as the English tailor-made suits, nor as elegant as the American tailored garment. True they are chic. But that is a quality which is fast being acquired here. One of the prettiest of the spring styles is the coat and skirt style. This is immensely popular and what is better grows more and more so. It is very convenient to purchase a little coat and skirt and more than conven- ADVANCE SP RING STYLES. THE STYLE OF THE OVERSEAS lont to wear the suit with a pretty shirtwaist underneath. "For spring," said a modiste, "I look forward to the coat and skirt idea almost exclusively. True there is a great deal of talk about the old-tashioned basque and the bodice. But I look for a Renaissance of the two-piece suit, the coat and the skirt. And I am sure that it will be twice as popular as ever." With the Housewife Kitchen towels should be washed out every day after the dinner things are washed and boiled at least once a week. Wooden spoons should be used always when making sauces and beating cakes. If metal spoons are used they become ground down at the point and also wear out the saucepan. An egg whisk made of wire set in a wooden handle is a necessity in every kitchen. It is required for clearing soup, beating whites of eggs or cream and to make chocolate froth. Directly a saucepan is empty and taken from the fire fill it with cold water. When time allows, add a piece of soda and boil out the vessel. Saucepans treated like this are easy to wash and always in good order when wanted. Two Pretty Effects. Very fetching is a gray plaid costume seen in one shop. It is made with a three flounced skirt, edged with plain gray cloth. The blouse bodice is full, with seams only under the arms. It is trimmed with a round sailor collar and chemisette of lace. The short sleeves are made of two ruffles corresponding to the skirt effect. Another smart frock is carried out in very lightweight velvet. Tucks and pointed bands of stitched cloth trim the skirt. The short coat has lapels of stitched cloth, a tiny vest, and a wide upper portion to the sleeves. The cuffs are finished with stitched cloth. Boudoir Confidences Rice cloth in pale colors is a pretty and inexpensive fabric for home frocks. Something new are the deep collar and cuff sets striped horizontally with pale blue or pink.

The sides of the bolero are slightly gathered to the fronts and back, which form a sort of stole crossed in front, and ornamented with four buttons. The shawl collar is of nile green velvet ornamented with buttons of embroidery and false buttonholes of cord, and finished with a plaiting of brown taffeta. The chemisette is of lace, ornamented with pendants, or motifs of passementerie. The girlle is of nile green kid. The full sleeves are finished with turnover cuffs of the green velvet, ornamented with the buttons and buttonholes and edged with brown velvet. Below these cuffs are puffs and frills of lace like the chemisette. The skirt is made with two double box-plaits in the middle of the --- white dots and bordered with three rows of valenciennes. Among silk ginghams are dark shaded effects that will make up al most like a soft shaded silk. Chiffon Washable. Good chiffon can be washed again and again and used until literally worn out, looking "as good as new" each time. Use tepid suds, made with a pure white soap, and add a teaspoon of alcohol to each quart of suds. Rub gently between the hands, applying the soap directly to very soiled places. When clean, squeeze in the hand, instead of wringing, as wringing or hard rubbing is liable to separate the threads of the fabric. Rinse in tepid water, with alcohol, as before. Squeeze again, this time in a clean towel. Pull gently into shape and iron while wet, letting the iron, which must be very clean and smooth, go right on the chiffon with no intervening cloth. Short Evening Coat. The above coat is white broad- The above coat cloth, with lining of heavy white silk. The shaped yoke of unique design is of Russian lace, the rounded scallops outlined with a biased fold of cloth and white braid. Similar treatment is given the deep cuff on sleeve. ```markdown ``` Cream Puffs. In a pint of scalding water melt a half-pound of butter, and when this boils stir in three-quarters of a pound of flour. Stir steadily for a minute or until the flour does not stick to the sides of the pan. Take from the fire and when cool beat in, one at a time, eight eggs beaten very light. Set on the ice for an hour. Line pans with buttered paper and drop the mixture by even spoonfuls at regular intervals—far apart from each other—on this paper. Have the oven very hot and bake the puffs to a golden brown. When cold, cut a slit in the side and fill carefully with the cream filling. Omelets That Never Fall. An omelet would offener be served if there were not the general experience that it is apt to fall and be heavy. This danger may be entirely obviated if the eggs are beaten separately and very light, the yolks folded daintily into the whites, salt and pepper added, and the whole transferred to a pan where the butter is already heated sufficiently. The omelet may be doubled into half its dimensions and sent to the table, a puff of lightness, all in a moment's time. Of course it should not "stand and wait," or it will hardly be like those who "also serve" in Milton's famous sonnet.

The habit bodice is plaited at the shoulders, gathered in front, where it crosses over a waist-coat of apple green cloth, fastened with two rows of enamel buttons. The revers are of white silk, embroidered with green, and the chemisette is of plaited white linon, with cravat of lace. The sleeves are full at the top, where they are plaited into the armholes, then are draped below, and finished with braid-trimmed cuffs of the material and little puffs of linon. The skirt is plaited over the hips, and has groups of fine plaitings at the bottom. It is elaborately trimmed with the braid. --- THE THOS. HOLLAND Lamp's Beer on Draught. Bass' Ale on Draught.

Program Adopted in Connection With Labor Day Celebration and National Encampment Grand Army of the Republic. Denver, March 28.—The first week in September will witness the G. A. R. national encampment at Denver and the Mountain and Plain Festival. At the same time will occur the big Labor Day celebration and parade. Committees representing the Festival of Mountain and Plain, the Denver Trades Assembly and the Denver Building Trades Council met at the rooms of the festival committee last night and arranged for a combined celebration of capital and labor on Labor Day, the first day of the festival. The program for the entire ten days of the festival was also arranged. The labor organizations of Denver will enter heartily into a joint celebration with employers on Labor Day, September 4th. There will be a monster parade as in former years, but the parade this year will be composed of the employed, merchants, manufacturers, Indians, cowboys and numerous special features. Organized labor is to name the grand marshal of the day, and have entire charge of the parade. Everyone will combine to make it the most notable Labor Day celebration in the history of Colorado. The afternoon of Labor Day will be given over to picnics. The evening will be taken up with festival features, of which there will be a goodly number. Tuesday, the second day of the festival, has been rightly named Military Day, for on that day there will be a gigantic celebration by naval veterans from Washington, the national guard, Spanish-American veterans, Sons of Veterans, High School cadets, the Woman's Relief corps and Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. There will be a great parade in which members of all of these organizations will participate. It will be the largest parade of the kind heretofore attempted in Denver; it might be said, in the West. The night will be given over to the members of the Woman's Relief corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R., the two auxiliaries of the G. A. R. These organizations will combine in giving a ball that will eclipse all previous efforts. the great G. A. R. parade will be the feature of the third day. The veterans are slowly dropping away one by one, and heads of the G. A. R. are a unit in saying that there never will be another national G. A. R. encampment like the one to be in Denver this year. And never another such parade of Grand Army veterans. The crowning feature of the day will be the great reception at night to Gen. Wilmon W. Blackmar, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. Every effort is being made to make this reception all that it should be. General Blackmar has earned an enviable record as the chief officer of the organization during his reign. The afternoon of Thursday will be given over to business sessions of the G. A. R. At the coming of dusk, however, the Slaves of the Silver Serpent will take possession of the city. Their monster illuminated parade, with hundreds of slaves in gorgeous dress and beautiful and costly floats, will make the king of the New Orleans Mardi Gras weep with envy. Friday will be a day to be long remembered by young and old. It will be the day of the masked carnival. Then, to round off the great day of pleasure, in the evening will be held the greatest of masked balls. The railroads have generously agreed to take the visitors to points of interest over the state at a trivial rate, and Saturday has been set aside as an "open day" for excursions. The sport will burst forth in renewed fury Monday. The best broncho busters and riders in the world will be here to compete in the broncho-busting contests. Tuesday will also be given over to this sport, and that day the champion broncho buster of the world will be publicly proclaimed. MRS. CHADWICK SENTENCED. Famous Confidence Operator Gets Ten Years in Prison. Cleveland, Ohio, March 28.—Unless the higher court interferes, Mrs. Casale L. Chadwick will spend the greater part of the next ten years in the Ohio State Penitentiary. A sentence of ten years was imposed upon her by Judge Robert W. Taylor in the United States District Court yesterday. Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on seven counts and sentenced upon six counts. For four of these counts a sentence of two years each was imposed. Upon two counts a sentence of one year each was imposed, making a total sentence of ten years. As soon as the sentence was pronounced Attorney Dawley, counsel for Mrs. Cradwick, took exceptions to the sentences upon each count except the first. The defense intends to make the claim that the court cannot impose a separate sentence for each count; that the law applied to the general charge, instead of each incident of a general charge. The various counts of the indictments are considered by the defense to refer only to details of the general offense. This point will also be contested in the higher court, as will the other points of the Chadwick trial which resulted in her convictions. Successful Aeroplane San Francisco, March 28—Professor Montgomery of Santa Clara College is declared to have invented an aeroplane which has made several flights, being guided at will by the aeronaut without the sustaining aid of a balloon. Referring to Professor Montgomery's experiments, Rev. R. B. Bell, professor of physics, in Santa Clara College, who has a national reputation as a scientist, says: "From all I have seen, I can safely say without fear of contradiction that he has soared and gone farther in this direction than any other living man so far as is known."
