Jority of the United St. Plessy vs. Ferguson, tice Harlan, in a on the Law, used Scores Jim Crow Car Law. In Dissenting from the Majority of the United States Supreme Court in Plessy vs. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, Justice Harlan, in a Masterly Exposition on the Law, used this Language: It is one thing for railroad carriers to furnish, or to be required to furnish, equal duty to carry. It is quite another thing for government to forbid citizens of the white and black races from traveling in the same public conveyances, and to punish officers of railroad companies for permitting persons of the two races to occupy the same passenger coach. But in view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant ruling class of citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. The humblest as the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved. It is therefore to be regretted that this high tribunal, the final expositor of the fundamental law of the land, has reached the conclusion that it is competent for a state to regulate the enjoyment by citizens of their civil rights solely upon the basis of race. Sixty millions of whites ase in no danger from the presence here of eight millions of blacks. The destinies of the two races in this country are indissoludy linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seed of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law. What can more certainly arouse race hate? What more certainly create and perpetuate a feeling of distrust between these races than state enactments which in fact proceed on the ground that colored citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed to sit in public coaches occupied by white citizens? That, as all will admit, is the real meaning of such legislation as was enacted in Lonisiana. The sure guaranty of the peace and security of each race is the clear, distinct, unconditional recognition by our governments, national and state, of every right that inheres in civil freedom, and of the equality before the law of all citizens of the United States without regards to race. State enactments regulating the enjoyment of civil rights, upon the basis of race, and cunningly devised to befeat legitimate results of the war, under VOL. XI. pretense of recognizing equality of rights, can have no other result than to render permanent peace impossible and to keep alive a conflict of races, the continuance of which must do harm to all concerned. The arbitrary separation of citizens, on the basis of race, while they are on a public highway, is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law established by the Constitution. It cannot be justified upon any legal ground. If evils will result from the commingling of the two races upon the public highway established for the benefit of all, they will be infinitely less than those that will surely come from state legislation regulating the enjoyment of civil rights upon the basis of race. We boast of the freedom enjoyed by our people above all other peoples. But it is difficult to reconcile that boast with a state of the law which practically puts the brand of servitude and degradation upon a large class of our fellow citizens, our equals before the law. The thin disguise of "equal" accommodations for passengers in railroad coaches will not mislead any one, or atone for the wrongs this day done. I am of the opinion that the statute of Louisiana is inconsistent with the personal liberty of citizens, white and black, in that state, and hostile to both the spirit and letter of the constitution of the United States. If laws of like characters should be enacted in the several States of the Union the effect would be in the highest degree mischievous. Slavery as an institution tolerated by law would, it is true, have disappeared from our country, but there would remain a power in the States, by sinister legislation, interfere with the full enjoyment of the blessing of freedom; to regulate civil rights common to all citizens, upon the bases of race; and to place in a condition of legal inferiority a body of American citizens, now constituting a part of the political community called the people of the United States, for whom and by whom, through representatives, our government is administered. Such a system is inconsistent with the guarantee given by the constitution of each State of a republican form of government, and may be stricken down by congressional action, or by the court in discharge of their solemn duty DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1905. to maintain the supreme law of the land, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. For the reason stated, I am constrained to withhold my assent from the opinion and judgment of a majority. Bigelow on the Negro Boston, March 26.—Poultney Bigelow, the famous traveling correspondent, in an interview here, expressed his views upon the Liberian and Haytian republics in particular. "Liberia," he said "is never without tribal wars, and slavery is practically in full swing. This after eighty years of our constitution there. Conditions are bad enough when you get to Hayti, but they are not nearly so bad as those in Liberia, and the reason they are not so bad is because of the infusion of white blood in Hayti. The time has come for the study of Africalogy—is I may so name it—of the Negro in Hayti, Santo Domingo, Liberia and Africa in general. Our great duty towards the Negro is in protecting him against himself. We must govern him according to what he needs, and not according to what we think he needs. There isn't a Negro who is fit to legislate for a cat. It is a degradation of white citizenship to elect one to office, and nobody knows that better than a Negro." In commenting on Mr. Bigelows remarks the Sacramento (Calif) Union says: Poultney Bigelow states that the Negro will never be able to govern himself, and points to conditions in Liberia and Hayti to prove it. It is respectfully suggested that Mr. Bigelow boaden his inquiry by looking into the political affairs of Colorado. Negro Supreme in West Indies. Lambert Tree, after touring the West Indies and Spanish Islands, studying the conditions of climate animals, plants and people said: As the white man loses his grip the black man tightens his, and hence is perceived everywhere, substantially, Negro control. The English islands of Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica are no exception to this rule. For while governors with fat salaries are still appointed by the imperial government, the local officers are filled with blacks, the islands policed by them, and their general political, social and moral tone given by them. What next? That is the question which one constantly propounds to himself as he observes the facts I have related, and in addition sees the same racial antagonism or mutual aversion existing between white and black in the is- lands which he has been accustomed to suppose only prevailed in the United States. It is an interesting fact also that as rapidly as the Negro secures absolute control in the islands he just as certainly appies the thum screw to the white, whom he hates in that hearty spirit which finds its origin only in racial antagonism that neither constitutions nor laws can eradicate or suppress. Thus in that pecious republic, Hayti, the white man is not permitted to hold real estate, and a number of other privileges are denied him which are permitted to the black citizen. Judging from the examples of Negro rule in Hayti and Santo Domingo, as well as from the social and political conditions in other of the West Indies where they are in partial control, it would seem that the Negro is seen at his best where he is under the influence and control of a considerable body of white men. RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. Information has just been received from Boley, Indian Ty., relative to the organization of a Negro National Bank. This bank, which was organized a few weeks ago, is capitalized at $15,000, 10 per cent of which has already been paid in and the outstanding amount will be paid within the next thirty days. Judge Speer, in the United States Court at Savannah, Ga., on March 22nd, imposed a fine of $500 each upon William F. Crawley, an attorney of Waycross, Ga., and Thomas J. McClelland, a former sheriff of Ware county, Ga., both of whom pleaded guilty to the charge of causing citizens to be held in peonage. F. K. Bell of Blaine county, Oklahoma, reports that there are Negroes in his country that walked from Memphis, Tenn., twelve years ago, and began on their claims with nothing but an axe and a grudding hoe. Their farms are worth to day all the way from $2,000 to $5,000 aside from their bank accounts and personal property. This is a good showing for twelve years of labor. Jacob Brown, a colored citizen of Henrietta, Indian Territory, recently contributed $1500, his share of a certain sum to be paid to the N. O. & C. railroad, to insure its passing through the city. There is no power in the Indian Territory or out of it, except in heaven, (and it will hardly interfere) that can keep Mr. Brown from voting or bar him from an opera house. He is a part of his community. Chicago, April 3.—Chicago has the only Negro theater in the world, "Pekin," located in the heart of the black belt. It is a pretentious affair, just completed, and is owned and managed by a Negro, while the talent is limited exclusively to colored people. Everybody joins in the singing of popular songs and the slap-stick business on the stage is reproduced all over the house. Wealthy whites have taken the boxes for the entire season, The "Jim Crow" law, passed by the last legislature of Maryland, separating the races on steam cars and steam boats, has been declared inoperative by the Maryland Court of Appeals so far as interstate passengers are concerned. The law is held valid where it affects only local passengers, but the number of colored passengers passing through Maryland from other states enroute to Washington is so large that the probable effect will be to knock out the whole law. Washington, March 25.—Because he wrote "Roosevelt debased himself by eating with a nigger" on a blackboard in illustrating the word "debased," Reginald Hodgson, a high school pupil, is having all sorts of trouble with the Board of Education. Miss Wescott, principle of the Wescott High School, which the boy attended, suspended him. Although re-instated, he was not permitted to march with the High School Cadet regiment in the inauguration of President Roosevelt. Hodgson was born in Virginia and has strong feelings on the race question. At Birminigham, Ala., March 26th. occured the death of an aged colored woman, Mrs. Chloe Boyken commonly called "Aunt Chloe" At the time of her death she was 113 years old. She was born in Charleston, S. C. in 1797 and witnessed many incidents following the Revolutionary war and many during the Civil war. She was twice married and was the mother of nine children. Her oldest child died when he was 90 years of age and only a short time ago the mother saw him buried. She has seen seven others buried ranging in age from 50 to 90 years. Among the vivid stories which the old woman told during the closing years of her life was the falling of the stars in 1832. Mrs. Estella Howard Weldon, a highly respected member and organist of the A. M. E. church at Scranton, Pa., was shot and killed while wheeling her three-mouths-old babe along one of the principle streets, by Miss Emma Lee. NO. 28. The two women had been the closest of chums from early childhood, and strangely enough, both fell in love with the man who finally became the husband of Estella Howard. Weldon proved himself a weak, fickle fool, for after his marriage he continued his attention to Miss Lee to such an extent that their conduct finally separated husband and wife, and the man's relatives with Miss Lee were declared to be scandalous. It is said that a reconciliation was about to be effected between Mr. and Mrs. Weldon that meant the casting off of Miss Lee by Weldon, and this is why Emma Lee committed one of the most cold-blooded murders ever recorded. Both women were graduates of the Scranton high school and were highly accomplished. Language of West Indies. The language of the republic of Haiti is French, while the language of the republic of Santo Domingo, on the Island of Haiti, is Spanish.

At O'Hea's Party. The Irish Christmas party has become famous the world over, and last year at Mr. O'Hean's gathering our representative overheard the following deliciously characteristic dialogue. Mr. O'Grady had just left the dancers, and had sidled up to Mr. Flynn: "Step outside, Mister Flynn," he said. "Tis afther askin' ye a few questions I'd be." They adjourned. Outside, Mr. O'Grady continued: "It's the faine backyardrd we have here, wid plenty av room. And now ye'll plaze be tellin' me, as bechune man and man, did ye iver say anythin' fornist the character of mesilr or Mistress O'Grady?"

AND TEXAS Praise for Kansas.—Pyomise of State- hood for Indian Territory.—Floral Offering in Texas. ee SOMME) Scere Sie 5 nae rare Roosevelt was last night the guest of the Lone Star state. When the Presi- dent awoke yesterday morning his train was traversing the plains of Kansas. At every station large and enthusiastic crowds were in attend- ance, all bent on seeing and if possi- ble hearing the chief executive. ‘The special train entered Indian Territory before noon. At Vinita a short stop was made and the Presi- dent briefly addressed a large crowd. ‘When Muskogee was reached fully 10,- 000 people surrounded the railroad sta- tion. A stand draped in the national colors had been erected near by and although the program did not call for a speech here, the President yielded to the loud acclaim of the people and ‘made a brief address. His subject was “Statehood” and enthusiastic ap- plause greeted his declaration that In- dian ‘Territory would add its star to the galaxy of states within a year. "Brief speeches were made at South McAlester, Atoka, Caddo and Durant, | after which the train crossed the state line into Texas. Speeches were made ‘at Sherman and Denison. ‘At Denison an immense crowd had gathered to greet the President, who was standing on the rear platform, smiling and bowing acknowledgement ‘of the cheers which greeted him as soon as the train stopped. A party of school children advanced to the platform and presented to the President a magnificent floral offering ‘in the shape of a Texas flag. A card attached read: “Presented by the children of the public schools as a wel- come to the President. The state of ‘Texas and the city of Denison.” In presenting the floral offering Miss Pauline Byerett, as spokeswoman, said: “In former times the children strewed flowers in the pathway of Washington and Lafayette; to-day the school children of the first public school building ever erected in Texas give you this floral emblem, signifying honor and integrity.” The President ‘replied briefly. When the train pulled out for Sher- man, the President, standing on the platform, waved his hand and smiled in response to the repeated cheers. At Sherman one of the largest crowds of the day greeted the Presi- dent. He was escorted to a stand, where he spoke for fifteen minutes. Cannon boomed and the city was in gala attire in honor of the visitor From Sherman the train maintained its schedule to Dallas. ‘The President was in splendid spirits after the long day’s ride, and shortly before reaching Dallas said that he never felt better in his life. The presidential special stopped at Parsons, Kansas, at 7:30 o'clock yos- terday morning to change engines, and a crowd gathered around the pri- vate car “Rocket” and attracted the attention of the occupanis by shouts of “Where is he?” Several negroes called “We have been waiting since 4 o'clock to see you!” The President hurried his dressing and stepped to the rear platform, where he was cheered. ‘The citizens of Parsons had sent to the car a huge bunch of American beauties, which was placed on the breakfast table. ‘The crowd was not satisfied with merety seeing the President, and in response to a spegch of welcome he greeted the people briefly, saying: “Fyiends—I will just bid you good morning. I am so glad again to be in the Sunflower State. From the be- ginning I have believed in your peo- ple, and I am more than grateful for the way your people showed your be- lief in me last November. It is not pos- sible for any man in any position to promise that things will come right. All that he can promise is that so far as in him lies he will do his part to- ward making them right. This I can promise and do. It is in one stage of life as it is in another. Right here I see one of the men who fought in the great war. All he could do in that war was to do his part well, to do all that lay in him well. And that each one of us can do, in what- ever position he is called to be. It is because of what you and the average man and woman of Kansas have done that Kansas is so great a state, and it is what every man from the President right through has got to do if our cown- try is to be what it should be. “To you people of Kansas, to you in whom I believe so much, there are just -one or two things I could say in this brief moment. ‘There is nothing peculiar in the qualities you need in gov- ernment that differentiate those quali- ties from the qualities you need in hav. tng one private man deal with another. If a man is to be an advantage to the community in which he lives, he must be a decent, square-dealing man, who does fairly by his neighbors, who takes care of his family. The same qualities in another sphere must be applied to public life if he is to amount to any- thing—honesty, decency, courage and common sense.” Industrial Peace Association. Denver, April ¢.—The Colorado State branch ‘of the National — Indus- irlal Peace Association was formed at a meeting of members of the Citizens’ Alliance and of organ- ized labor at’ the chamber of com- merce Tuesday night.

There are colored men who seem to think that some political position, no matter how menial, or how much loss of self respect the begging for its entails, is the true goal of life and the great source of happiness and contentment. This idea has positively become a mania with some. They will abandon good, honorable, independent and lucrative trades or callings to be snubbed and treated with contempt while they hang around, dance attendance and toady to politicians for a miserable janitorship or something of the sort. During the campaign these politicians gave them the ever ready smile, and extended to them the glad hand. But they seem utterly incapable of perceiving the icy stare and the marble heart of the selfsame politicians after the battle is fought and the victory won. For the benefit of this class of office-seekers it would be a very humane and worthy act if some artist would draw pictures of their relative political importance (in their own minds) during a campaign and after that event. They would be like the pictures perpetrated by the patent medicine men and labeled "Before taking" and "After taking." Only the conditions would be reversed. Yazoo is again heard from. What and where is Yazoo anyway? It is a little one-horse town in the state of Mississippi. Situated in one of the richest farming bottoms of that state it has always seemed to take more kindly to raising "cane" than cotton or corn. Yazoo! Who would suppose a place of such an outlandish and barbarous name could be found in the United States? Whenever the name is mentioned our mind involuntarily turns to the Bashi-Bazouks, those brutal semi-civilized tribes of southeastern Europe who mangle and mutilate their enemies when taken prinisors in war. The Yazooites have not done much of that lately. But the spsrit is still there. A short time ago at a U.S. civil service examination for a clerkship in the local post office, open to all citizens, a young colored man received the highest marks and was awarded the place. Thereupon he was threatened and buldozed by the white Yazooites in a way that he concluded it was best in the interest of his health and life to resign. Another competitive examination was held and again another colored youth obtained the prize. This time the cowardly crowd organized themselves into a band of midnight whitecappers and, seizing the colored brother, compelled him by dire threats and a well-timed display of deadly weapons to leave Yazoo his home. He at once proceeded to Washington to lay his case before the president. This happened only a few days ago, and Mr. Roosevelt could not take up the matter then as he was just about to start on has western trip. We have an abiding faith that he will apply a fitting remedy when he acquaints himself with the facts in the case. GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTMENTS. The governor has already made many appointments, but as we go to press we have not yet discovered the name of a colored appointee. It is well known that the colored citizens earnestly and almost unanimously supported Gov. Peabody in the last election, although great pressure and many inducements were brought to bear upon them to vote for Alva Adams. This fact was highly appreciated by Gov. Peabody, who is on record as frankly saying that the colored element was more loyal to the ticket than any other class of citizens. This free expression and keen sense of gratitude would unquestionably have taken form in some fitting and substantial appointment extended to some worthy representative of the race by Gov. Peabody, had he not resigned his high office. It is not too much to trust and believe that his successor, the present governor, will catch his spirit and carry out his policy on this head as well as in other respects. That broad and general policy would be to consolidate and harmonize the various elements of the party by just and proper recognition, devoid of all discrimination save that bared upon merit and fitness. The COLORADO STATESMAN, without egotism can say that it was a great factor in bringing about this solid support of the colored citizens for the gubernatorial ticket. In every issue during the campaign it combatted and exposed the fallacious reasonings of the colored Democratic organ and other papers which tried to mislead the voters. And now that Gov. McDonald is the beneficiary of the long and arduous fight make for Peabody it is quite natural that he might be expected to give that recognition to the race which Peabody found himself under obligation to give. We hope the governor will be swayed by the high aspiration of President Roosevelt, who has declared that the door of opportunity should not be closed against any citizen on account of race or color.

Some Sayings Which Prove the True Wit of the Race. The proverbs of a nation are the distilled wit of generations of its people; and the true wit of the race is oftentimes in proportion to the truth and beauty of its proverbs. Few nations and few languages possess more beautiful sayings than the Irish. "The silent mouth is melodious," is an Irish aphorism pregnant with beauty and poetry. And another saying, inculating a charity which is spiritually needed in this modern world of ours, is that which tells us "Our eyes should be blind in the abode of another." The beautiful faith and magnificent optimism of the Irish race are well pictured in their proverb, "God never shuts one door but He opens two." "Autumn days come softly, quickly, like the running of a hound upon a moor," is poetic, vivid truth. And here is a sharp, satirical one that cuts several ways at the same time: "A poem ought to be well made at first, for there is many a one to spoil it afterward."—Leslie's Monthly Magazine. FORTUNE TOOK A HAND. Calculation Had Been Overlooked by Careful Man. I had a friend who did his duty to himself and others with such zeal that he never went to bed without taking his temperature or got up without drinking a scientific decoction the name and composition of which I have forgotten; the flavor, however, was such as rendered the duty performed particularly meritorious. His dietary was based on the most scientific principles; he weighed himself before and after each meal; he had his appendix removed, so as to avoid all risk of appendicitis, and, in short, he so fully realized the duty of being healthy and long lived that he never had time to do anything else or talk about anything else. Unfortunately, he never took that fickle jade "Fortune" into his calculations, and after only a year of striving most manfully to fulfill the duty of being long-lived he slipped on a piece of orange peel and fractured the base of his skull—Pall Mall Gazette. Painting the Schoolhouse. The late Rev. Mr. Wakefield was an efficient member of the prudential school committee of the town of Marlboro, Mass. At an annual town meeting the appropriations for the coming year were the cause of some heated discussions. Mr. Wakefield advocated an appropriation for painting one of the schoolhouses in the section near his residence. The watchdog of the town treasury strenuously objected that the town could not afford it, and others concurred in that view. This opposition aroused Mr. Wakefield, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Moderator, we can paint that building for less money than it costs my friend each year to paint his nose." It was a home thrust; the appropriation went through with a shout, and in due time the schoolhouse was painted red. Made a Good Trade. Years ago, when the stages used to stop at East Lebanon, N. H., the tavern was kept by Landlod Barns. Every fall the farmers used to go to the city with the produce. One fall when they passed through, the good landlord had just buried his wife, and the travelers pitied him. When the next fall came, and one of the travelers arrived, he said to the landlord: "I have pitied you all this year for losing your wife. It was a hard blow." "I don't know about that," replied the landlord. "I married another woman with a boy big enough to work, and $500. I made a good trade." Yawning for Health A German expert on gymnastics announces that one need not go to a well-equipped gymnasium in search of a course in health-giving exercises. Deep yawning practiced as a regular exercise is the cheapest and surest road to perfect health. We are still familiar with the theory that systematic deep breathing is an excellent thing for the lungs, and it is on similar grounds that yawning is recommended. The expansion of the breast bones and the stretching of the arms which accompany a whole-hearted yawn, together with the filling of the lungs form a splendid daily exercise. Boy's Fish Story. In the little village of Woodville, Mass., lives a small boy, with a roguish eye, red cheeks and deep dimples, aged four years, and he answers to the name of Dana. He went into his aunt's house one day and remarked: "I have been fishing." She looked up with surprise and said: "Did you put the worms on yourself." "No! I put them on the hook," he instantly replied. Again the Simple Life. I owe my newsboy fifty cents, the rent is overdue, the ber man's bill is now immense and so's the coal man's too. The ice man has not yet been paid, and, though he has been nice, his bill, I am very much afraid, will have to go on ice. I've owed my tailor for a year, and I regret to say he threatens now my job to queer unless I promptly pay. I hocked my watch to-day to buy a present for my wife, and I'd just like to know how I can lead the simple life?—Houston (Texas) Chronicle. KEEPING BODY IN CONDITION. "Hardening" Process a Good Preventive of Colds. Modern research seems to have established the fact that, after all, the "old-fashioned" ideas with regard to colds are not far wrong. It is, of course, true, says the Literary Digest, that a "cold" is a malady due to germs; but there seems to be no doubt that the chilling of the body lessens its resistance and so renders it an easy prey. In the Arctic region, where the influenza germ cannot live, and where colds are said to be unknown, it may be safe to sit in a draught or to get one's feet wet; but in the temperate zone these indulgences will continue to be risky for the average man. Reviewing experiments and observations made in this field, the Medical Record says: "A point of practical importance is the fact that it was found that repeated exposure to slight degrees of cold brought about an increase of antibodies, and this observation therefore affords a theoretical justification of the practically approved methods of 'hardening' the body by hydrotherapeutic and other methods of training. Such procedures should not only serve to protect against cold and allied conditions, but also should render the body better able to cope with bacteria of all kinds." GARDENS HERE AND ABROAD. Fundamental Difference in Their Relation to the Family. There is a fundamental difference between the English and the American garden, writes Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Garden Magazine. The Englishman's garden is well nigh as essential as his house. It is like an extra room to the residence. It is for the family rather than for the public. It therefore works itself into developing consciousness of children, and garden love becomes as much a part of the person as books and furniture and music do. An English teacher recently inspected the study work at Cornell university. "What surprises me," she said, "is that you need to do such work. The English child loves nature as if by instinct." The American garden is likely to be all in front yard. It is usually of the look-at-me kind. It is made for the public to see. This may contribute to public spirit and civic betterment, but it loses in originality and vitality. His Lecture Illustrated. ..A gathering in an Eastern town which was violently dispersed, was held in a little hall rarely used. There was no desk for the speaker of the evening, so one was lugged out of the cellar. No sooner had the speaker begun to pound the old desk in his enthusiasm than a hornet flew out. Another hornet followed. The audience began to wave their hands wildly in the air. Other hornets came and the faces of some of the members of the audience began to swell visibly. Then there was a mad rush for the door, and the speaker was left alone to fight off the angry insects whose nest he had disturbed. He was to have given a lecture on "The Hotbed of the Rebellion." Transferring Daniel. A clergyman, recently engaged with another of a different belief in a controversy regarding some questions of religion, sent to a newspaper office a long article, supporting his side of the question. The manuscript had been "set up" in type for the next day's issue. About midnight the telephone bell rang furiously, the minister ct the other end asking for the city editor. "I am sorry to disturb you at such a late hour," he said, "but I am in great trouble." "What can I do for you?" was asked. "In the article I sent you to-day I put Daniel in the fiery furnace. Please take him out and put him in the lions' den." Horses' Shoes Get Hot. Popular Mechanics says that a horse shod with metal shoes should not be driven rapidly on an asphalt pavement. The heat produced is painful to the animal and may be injurious. It cites an instance where two men indulged in a friendly horse race on asphalt. One of the horses cast a shoe and when the rider picked it up it blistered his hand and did not cool off for several minutes. At each step the horse slips a little and this constant friction of the metal shoe under weight upon the sand in the pavement generates a high degree of heat. Modern Version of an Old Tale. A small maid returned from school the other day filmed with the enthusiasm of discovery. "Oh, mamma," she began, "teacher told us about a boy who said 'Wolf! Wolf!' lots of times when there wasn't any wolf there." "And what did the story mean?" inquired mamma. "Why," said the child, greatly surprised at her mother's inability to put two and two together; "why, it means never be a liar-teller but once." Fame a Wild Beast. "Literary fame," said a well-known author whose name a few years ago was in everybody's mouth." is more easily caught than kept. He who has a reputation to maintain has a wild beast in his house which he must constantly feed or it will feed on him. He who writes in a modern language is but the suicide of his own fame, scribbling with sand what the next wave of time will obliterate; he gets a short respite, not a pardon, froza blusion.

Cures a Wife's Debtility After Malaria, a Husband's Rheumatism, a Daughter's Nervous Prostration. "I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people," said Mrs. Gossett, "because I have seen such good results, time after time, right in my own family. There are three of us who have no doubt about their merits. We do not need to take anybody's word on the subject for our own experience has taught us how well they deserve praise. "It was just about ten years ago that I first read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and bought my first box. I was at that time all run down, weak, nervous and without ambition. I had been doctoring all summer for malaria and stomach trouble. Everybody thought I was going into consumption, as my mother had died of that disease. "Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now alive and hearty. I began to improve as soon as I began to take them, and when I had taken three boxes I was a well woman. Everyone wonders how I keep so well and am able to care for my home and six children without help. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills explain it. "My oldest girl's health began to fail when she was about fourteen. She was nervous, complained of sharp pains in her head, would get deathly sick and have to leave the school room to get fresh air to revive her. I gave some pills to her. She took only a few boxes, but they cured her troubles, and caused her to develop into a perfect picture of health. Then my husband took them for rheumatism and found that they would cure that too. So you see we have all got great good from using them, and that is why we recommend them to others." Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and is well known, as she has resided in the same neighborhood for more than thirteen years. Her story shows that a medicine which makes the blood sound and the nerves strong, overcomes a variety of diseases and should be found in every household. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists everywhere. They have cured anaemia, and all forms of weakness, also the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism. They are indispensable for growing girls. Mamma—Tommy, I don't like to have you play with boys who are bad. Tommy—But the good boys are no good, mamma. EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY. In the six years of the country's greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903, average prices of breadstuffs advanced 65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy and garden products 50.1 per cent, and clothing 24.1. All these were products of the farmer and stockman who profited more than any other class of the community by these advances. The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by that advance in the average price of metals. The only decrease in the average prices of commodities in that period was in railway freight rates which decreased from .798 per tonmile in 1897 to .763 in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that the average increase in the pay of railroad employees in the period was a trifle above 8.5 per cent. "Isn't your grandfather an octogenarian, Bobby?" asked the visitor. "No, ma'am," replied the little fellow. "He's a Methodist." Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose, of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The man who doesn't worry is entitled to a lot of credit he never gets. Your grocer returns your money if you don't like Schilling's Best. The man who talks as if he had his mouth full of hot mush is never able to make a stirring speech.

NATIONAL PRINTSHOP IT IS THE FINEST IN THE WORLD Has Installed Typesetting Machines.— Everything is Run by Electricity.— Over $6,000,000 Worth of Work Yearly. The Typographical Journal gives an interesting account of the government printing office at Washington. The long-talked introduction of typesetting machines into the office has at length taken place, and batteries of linotypes and monotypes are in full sway. Something was seen in print to the effect that this introduction of machinery would not affect the hand labor in the office, which is nonsensical. A displacement of hand labor must occur when a machine that can do the work of five hand compositors appears on the scene of battle. The installment of the machine compositor adds to the marvels of the national printery, the biggest and most up-to-date office in the United States, if not in the world. Electricity rules the roost. There are, for example, over 600 electric motors (the largest of which is of 100 horse power) supplying power for the machinery. Electricity lights, heats, drives and transports. The engines which drive the dynamos depend on electric pumps to oil their bearings. Electricity is the wax melter, the glue maker and the tool heater. By its aid the 4,000 employees are supplied with water, and it carries them to their work and lights the rooms. There is an electric light for about every twenty-five square feet, besides clusters and ornamental arrangements of lamps in many places. There are electric elevators, electric lifts for conveying work and materials and motors running all kinds of machines from the ruling machine to the immense press. Electricity helps all the processes of work throughout the building except in the foundry, where gas is used to melt the stereotyping metal. A new fast press that will print 80,000 eight-page papers per hour has a thirty horse power motor to run it, and a small one of eight and a half horse power to run it at slow speed. All this is as it should be in such an office. The building, 175 feet wide and 408 feet long, has six acres of actual working space. The electric power building, 112x134, has four generators capable of producing 2,170 horse power under ordinary demand, or one-fourth more, if necessary. The output consists of nearly every kind of printed matter—the Congressional Record, myriads of bulletins, bills, resolutions, reports, etc., and is long on tables. Papers and pamphlets are printed by the million; books are issued by the hundred thousand. Indeed, it is said that the yearly output costs $6,500,000. Such an output deserves the very latest machinery or other devices that may have a proven value. BABY ONE SOLID SORE. Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Spent $100 on Doctors—Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura for $5. "A seab formed on my baby's face spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis." The woman who drives a man to drink has no need of a whip. "A Wonder-Worker of Science." Luther Burbank, the California magician, has developed a verbena with a strong arbutas fragrance. He has made possible a new fruit, the plumcot, a combination of the common wild American plum, the Japanese plum and the apricot. He has accomplished what Darwin hinted at, but accepted with reservations—the grafting of one tree upon another and at the same time the transformation of the tree without fertilization, the accomplishment of a complete cross by the graft. The details of these and other experiments, Mr. Burbank's aims, beliefs, and hopes in his work, will be the substance of William S. Harwood's article in the April Century, the second of two papers on "A Wonder-Worker of Science." TEA Good tea doesn't have to be fine; if fine, all the better.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entangling the mucous surfaces. Such entangling should never be performed from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten to fold to the good you can possibly degrade it. The Catarrhine Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., is not mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's products, you will get the genuine.

This is the time of year when the spring poem is sprung. TEA The soul is let loose by tea; it wanders far and forgets its prison. There would be no complaint in this age against the fast young man if he would only go in the right direction Five Dollars Easily Earned. All boys like to earn a few pennies now and then, but Mark Twain tells of a very unusual way in which he once made the princely sum of five dollars as a small boy. At one school he attended there was a strict rule against marking the desks. Any boy discovered mutilating a desk must be punished—being offered his choice between paying five dollars or taking a public whipping. The irresistible combination of a shiny-topped desk and a brand-new knife in his pocket was too much for Mark; he succumbed to the temptation and whittled away until the teacher caught him. The punishment was set for the following day, and Mark's father, thinking it a pity the lad should be publicly whipped gave him a lecture and a five-dollar bill. Five dollars looked pretty big to Mark. He thought it over carefully, and when the time came, with the bill in his pocket, went up and took the whipping. Worked His Way Up Senator Knute Nelson came to this country from Norway when six years of age, and when nineteen went into the Union army. There were hard knocks, and plenty of them. He first lived in Chicago, then went to Wisconsin and to Minnesota. He is a linguist of unusually fine attainments. He is one of the most widely-read men in the Senate and as a conversationalist he is charming to a high degree. What Everybody Says Rich Woman's Bath. When that massive pile ofuginess in Fifth avenue is finished and Senator Clark takes up his residence there, his young wife will have the most luxurious bath-room in the world. It will excel in its appointments the most sumptuous baths of the early Romans, and, beside it the bath of the modern Oriental—which is a good deal more of a fable than a fact—will pale into insignificance. Onyx, alabaster and the finest marble ever quarried enter into its construction. There are showers and needles and plunges, and the water will be filtered and will be as pure and clear as crystal. But the one novelty Mrs. Clark will possess which even Caesar did not enjoy will be an ingenious arrangement of tiny faucets from which rare perfumes may be drawn and the water impregnated with their sensuous odors. She may bathe in softened water which exhales the scent of the geranium, or the violet or attar of roses. The idea is a new one, and it is the invention of a Pittsburg genius who got carte blanche to design the most luxurious and artistic bathroom in the United States. Dangers of the Piano. A Berlin physician says that out of 1,000 girls who played the piano before the age of twelve years, he found 600 cases of nervous diseases; whereas out of the same number who did not pay the instrument he found 100 cases. The author of these experiments states that the piano should never be used by a child before the age of sixteen years, and only two hours a day at the maximum. CHILDREN AFFECTED. By Mother's Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too cared as to the food they use while nursing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: "I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk, I have since ascertained that it really dries up the milk. "So, I quit coffee, and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain in my heart or sour stomach. Postum has cured them. "Now we all drink Postum from my husband to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

By an appeal to the District Court, the Socialist party of Boulder succeeded in getting a representation on the list of judges of election at the spring election. It was shown that only two parties were in the field last year and the Socialist party was one of them. The late heavy rains caused a portion of the west wall of the foundation for the new heating and power plant at the Colorado State School of Mines at Golden to cave in, owing to the fact that water running off the hillside got in behind the brick work.

Attended with tainted, offensive, or foul breath, bitter taste, especially in the morning, furred tongue, sick or billious headaches, poor or irregular appetite, sour stomach, "water brash," constipation with strong tendency to "the blues," or despondency, are all relieved and radically cured by the faithful use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. No man can be stronger than his stomach; man can be weaker than his muscles, dyspeptic, hypochondriac, pevish and "out of sorts"; he feels languid, tired and "all fagged out." Nothing will more speedily or permanently invigorate and tone into action, liver and bowels than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is compounded from the active medicinal principles extracted from native medicinal plants, without the use of alcohol, not a drop of which enters into its composition. The whole effect is from its composition due to alcoholic exhilaration, and consequently of short duration, but is enduring and permanent. The great majority of diseases have their inception in a bad stomach, indigestion, biliousness and impure blood. Among these diseases are deadly consumption, nerve-racking, brain-wrecking nervous prostration and exhaustion, body-torturing rheumatism, insanity-breeding neuralgia, emaculating malaria and gurgling blood and skin diseases. Dr. Pleasen Goldo Medical Discovery is a cure for all these diseases. It taken in anything like reasonable time. It is not a cure-all, but cures the diseases mentioned for the reason that they are caused and aggravated by the same disorders. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber. Don't be wheeled by a penny-grabbing dealer into anything else that be "it is good" only that he may make a greater profit.

So Senator Bailey of Texas pronounced Indian Territory in a speech in the United States Senate. In the course of some remarks in the United States Senate, February 4, 1905, Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas paid the following glowing tribute to Indian Territory: "And when they are joined (Oklahoma and Indian Territory) there is not one among the older commonwealths richer by nature than this new state. My own opinion is that Indian Territory is the richest spot on earth under the American flag today for the size of it. It is one of the few places on this continent that possesses almost every kind of wealth—coal in great abundance and of excellent quality, iron, I believe the greatest granite bed on earth, oil, asphalt and all kinds of mineral wealth, produced in any other section. And over these riches treasures in the earth there is the most fertile of soils, producing more abundantly those great products which contribute to the comfort, the health and the pleasure of the human race than almost any other spot of equal size."

The Parisians, always evolving some new thing in corsets, are wearing stays made of what is called "tricot," a corset, apparently, formed of knitted silk. The latest tricot corsets are cut very long, indeed, well away to the knee, a circumstance which must puzzle those who are not aware that the corset is not boned in its extremities. It is a knitted silk substance, yet does not stretch, so that it holds a superabundant figure in with exceeding comfort and firmness, while lending itself quite to the movements of the figure. This tricot corset, which has been offering itself, though not in such notable form, for some time, promises rather well for comfort, while its excellence is guaranteed by the fact that the Parisienne has adopted it. German Pudding. Beat 3 eggs slightly, add tablespoon of sugar, $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk; cut stale bread in slices 1 inch thick, soak in this mixture, and cook in hot buttered spider until brown on both sides. Serve with apricot sauce. Apricot sauce—Drain canned apricots from their sirup and rub through a sieve to 1 cup of pulp and 1 cup of heavy cream beaten until stiff; sweeten to taste. Peaches can be used the same way, either canned or fresh. Spring Tailor-Made Walking-Costume. ```markdown ``` In black-and-white check, with turban toque. The skirt is trimmed with lines of black braid between the boxpleats. The tight-fitting bodice has revers and cuffs of white edged with black, and velvet-covered buttons. Apple Puffs. Sift together 2 cups of flour, 3 level teaspoons of baking powder and half a teaspoon of salt; stir into a soft batter with a scant cup of milk, 1 egg well beaten and a tablespoon of butter melted; put the batter in 8 buttered muffin pans and stick into the top of each pieces of apple; sprinkle with sugar seasoned with spice and bake. Eat with butter on it; makes a good dessert by making a pudding sauce. Sheer Face Veils. The newest of the face veils are so sheer that it will be necessary to purchase a more liberal allowance of them than heretofore. There is nothing which will give such an air of genteel poverty to even the most successful costume as a veil which has lost its freshness. The various periodicals ostentationally devoted to a woman's interests from time to time give directions how to freshen an old veil, but the result of following such instructions is pretty nearly always loss of time, loss of the veil (such as it was), and only too often loss of temper as well. The old veil is seldom if ever worth the effort of refurbishing. Many women who do not care for the so-called "fussiness" which the proper care of veils requires, salve their conscience by purchasing a large number of veils for the same sum that formerly went to their purchase. Thus, instead of two veils at $1 apiece, they will purchase four at 50 cents, and it is a question whether a correct and fresh appearance in the matter of her veils is not maintained for a longer period by this little excursion into the land of economics. Tied Girdle Is Quite Frenchy. It is quite possible to have a different girdle for every gown, and to have them look natty and nice with no trouble at all, by adopting the following plan: Take two yards and a half of ribbon more or less, according to the waist measure. After skirt and waist are properly adjusted place the center of the ribbon at the center of the waist front. Run the ribbon around the waist, cross at the back and bring the ends in front again. Cross them in the middle and pin securely with a safety pin, through the bodice and corset, and tie the remaining ends in a smart little bow exactly over the pin. If the sides of the girdle show an 'nclination to slip down they can be fastened up with a pin, which is put in "blindly," that is, just under the edge of the ribbon; this edge is turned over and covers the fastening. The same applies to the point in front. When properly put on and fastened, this girdle bears all the carmarks of the latest thing in French belts, even to the jaunty bow in front, and no one would guess that it owed its style to one large safety pin and a piece of ribbon. Boudoir Confidences Numbers of hats are made of transparent Neapolitan in black, white and colors. "Alice" blue, a bright blue over gold, takes its name from the president's daughter. Polka dots, little woven rings and triangles of color, appear on the choicest white fabrics. A waistcoat belt that is half girdle and half waistcoat has little thumb pockets slit in the front. Clever girls are braiding their own linen frocks with narrow linen soutache over a stamped pattern. Even the long, tight coats are cut very low in front, to show as much of the frilly blouse as possible. A front panel covered with French knots in self color is a feature of one or two pretty linen gowns. Bunches of gold and silver and green grapes are tucked in the twists of hats bent close to the hair. Catchy Silk Stocks. Keep up your taste for fetching collars. One I saw is made of shaded taffeta—the blush green, the pinkish brown and the brownish yellow, whereof so many taffeta shirt waist suits are made. There's the high stock and then in front a little knot and from this two ends, which are just like an ordinary four-in-hand, only that the lower half of each end consists of a piece of accordion-plaited silk which spreads out in a flirtatious little fan. Quite catchy, too, are those with bows for a finish, because the ends of the bows are also accordion-plaited. With a little piece of accordion-plaited silk it is apparently possible to make a natty neck finish for any frock.—Exchange. Baked Indian Pudding. Sift slowly three tablespoonfuls of yellow meal into one pint of boiling milk, stirring all the time to keep from being lumpy. Let boil gently five minutes. Be careful not to burn; then add one pint of cold milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of ginger (or, if liked, one-half grated nutmeg), and two eggs beaten. Sir all well together. Pour in a buttered baking dish, and bake in a slow oven for one hour. Black Cloth Frock. A black cloth frock is a standby which most women like to have in their wardrobes. A pretty specimen of the tailormade order had an allround skirt braided with about seven rows of flat black braid, and a braided corselet band. The back was arranged in a few tiny flat plaits. This skirt could be worn with any kind of blouse, and was accompanied by the tiniest braided bolero. This made an extremely neat spring costume. With the Housewife Tin vessels of all kinds may be kept from rusting by placing them near the fire, after they have been washed and wiped dry. One of the new wall coverings that are printed in soft tones and dainty patterns, yet can be sponged off with water, is best for a nursery. If a lamp gets overturned water will be of no use in extinguishing the flames. Earth, sand or flour thrown on it will have the desired effect. Match marks on a polished or tarnished surface may be removed by first rubbing them with a cut lemon and then with a cloth dipped in water. It is a good plan to wash the silver daily after use with a chamois leather saturated in warm, soapy water. In this way it is possible to keep the silver bright without the use of plate powder. Utility in Silk Slips. Slips of colored silk are worn under sheer gowns, and a fashionable woman stocks her wardrobe with no less than half a dozen of these princess underdresses in various colors. White is a staple color for a slip; pale blue and pink are much more effective, and they enhance the beautiful hand work on the gown. The pink is equally dainty and effective, and when this color is more becoming to a woman than blue it is wise for her to choose it, though the latter is more of a summer sludge than those bordering on the rose. New Wrinkle in Batiste. Batiste with broderie anglaise designs are charming for blouses. This very thin cotton cannot be as durable as linen—or as linen ought to be—but it is so pretty that it attracts. Dotten swiss, dimity and Persian lawn are other thin fabrics used for dainty blouses. They are being worn under jackets at the present time, of course, with the addition of under-slips of lawn or China silk. This is built in a light cloth, and trimmed with rows of braid and fancy buttons. The collar and vest are of white, embroidered in color to match. Hat of white straw trimmed with lilac. Trimming for Lingerie. Fashionable women are taking plain white corsets and trimming them with lace around the top, putting on the lace in little drapings across the front. It is caught up with ribbons. Inside there are set many little ruffles of silk to produce a fullness across the bust. A trousseau set consisted of ten pieces. There were the usual pieces of underwear to put next the skin. These were made of nainsook and trimmed with pale blue dyed lace, with satin ribbons, very narrow and tied in many rosettes. A white corset was trimmed with pale blue lace, and there was a night robe trimmed in the same way, with two petticoats to match. With this set there went a little kimono jacket, cut off just below the waist line and elaborately trimmed with novelty plaid taffeta, laid on in flat bands. Now. It's the Redingote. The redingote suit is shown in all materials. Blue is not the most fashionable color this spring, but a blue chiffon taffeta gown made with a redingote skirt was very modish. Both skirt and redingote were side plaited and were finished at the hems with a fancy braid, in which white, green and a little bright red appeared. The redingote opened in the front and the braid was carried up on either side. A very wide crush girdle of the taffeta and a smart little bolero formed the waist of the gown. Lamp's Beer on Draught.

ROCKEFELLER'S PLEA DENIES CHARGE OF DISHONESTY. Statement of Standard Oil Solicitor Defends Great Oil Magnate—Says Allegations of Ministers Are False and Vile. New York, April 7.—S. C. T. Dodd, chief solicitor of the Standard Oil Company, gave out a statement yesterday with reference to the recent discussion as to the acceptance of a gift of $100,000 offered by John D. Rockefeller for missionary work. Mr. Dodd declares that the statement that Mr. Rockefeller made his money dishonestly "is false, is vile and, being made by ministers in the pretended interest of morality, is doubly vile." Mr. Dodd then says that the Standard Oil Company does not own a share of stock in any railway; does not control any railroad company, and that since the enactment of the interstate commerce law, has not received lower rates than other shippers by rebates, arrangements, devices or plans of any character. The testimony of Howard Page, freight agent of the Standard Oil Company, before the Industrial Commission, is quoted in this connection. With reference to gas and copper companies, Mr. Dodd says: "No doubt many have been prejudiced against Mr. Rockefeller by sensational writers, whose articles, accompanied by portraits and caricatures, are intended to create the impression that Mr. Rockefeller was principal in the affairs relating to the organization of the gas and copper companies, although no fact showing such connection is stated. The Standard Oil Company has already denied that it had any connection or interest, directly or indirectly, in the organization of these corporations, and on the best authority the same denial is now made for John D. Rockefeller. He had no connection with nor interest in directly or indirectly, the organization of these corporations." corporations." In his statement Mr. Dodd says: "There may well be a difference of opinion on the abstract question whether the board of missions should receive gifts unless satisfied that the giver is honest; but all will agree that if he who would bring his gift to the altar must come with clean hands, still more should he who ministers at the altar and receives the gift be free from stain. There is no excuse for those who make money dishonestly, and still less excuse for those who, in the name of religion, falsely accuse their fellow men." Many Railway Disasters. Washington, April 7.—A report of the railroad accidents in the United States during October, November and December, 1904, has been completed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It shows that, in that quarter fifty-three passengers and 189 employees were killed and 1,430 passengers and 1,868 employees injured; a total of 242 persons killed and 3,289 injured, in train accidents. Other accidents to passengers and employees, not the result of collisions or derailments, bring the total number of casualties up to 14,978—951 killed and 14,027 injured. The report indicates a decrease of 175 killed and 624 injured as compared with the last preceding quarter. Of the total number of fifty-three passengers killed in train accidents, twenty-nine were killed in one collision between a passenger train and a freight train. The total number of collisions and derailments in the quarter was 2,950, the financial damage aggregating $2,406,081. The number of employees killed in coupling and uncoupling cars in the quarter was seventy-one—twelve more than in the preceding three months. Dr. Gladden's Reply. Columbus, Ohio, April 7.—Dr. Washington Gladden, moderator of the general council of the Congregational churches of the United States, last night gave the following signed reply to the statement of S. C. T. Dodd, general counsel of the Standard Oil Company: "Mr. Dodd says that Standard Oil does not own a share of stock in any railroad company. By this statement Mr. Dodd intends to convey and does convey to the public the meaning that the group of men with common interests who have always owned and controlled the Standard Oil Company, and for whom the phrase 'Standard Oil' is an accurate and convenient synonym, do not own any railroad stock or control any railroad. "Is this statement, which Mr. Dodd intends to convey, a true statement? Will Mr. Dodd specifically state that the group of men thus described do not own enough stock practically to control many of our important railroads? "Until this question is definitely answered, other parts of the manifesto may be neglected. "WASHINGTON GLADDEN." Equitable Life Mutualized. New York, April 7.—Out of the fifty members of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society thirty-eight assembled in the company's board room yesterday afternoon, and after an hour and thirty minutes of discussion, in the course of which it is understood the whole Equitable controversy was gone over, announcement was made that those present had unanimously decided to adopt the two years' mutualization plan announced several days ago. Rumors of resignations did not bear fruit, and it was authoritatively said that none was tendered. "Everything harmonious," was the tenor of the official statement issued after the meeting by Senator Depew and Cornelius N. Bliss. This announcement also said that a committee of directors would investigate the company's management.
