Money Saved By Patronizing Merchants Who Advertise in This Paper. COUNTRY RACE PARTY THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHALL BE FREE THE JOURNAL OF THE STATE The Preacher and Temperance. Nelson Williams, Jr., Editor of The Sunday School Era, of Richmond, Va., Delivers Some Tellug Blows Against the Clergymau who Partakes of Intoxicating Spirits. "We covenant together to abstain from the use and sale of intoxicating liquors and beverages." This is a fundamental principle of the great Baptist church, and occurs in plain words in the covenant of that church. "No drunkard shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven." "Woe unto him who giveth his brother the cup." "Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." We could continue this class of quotations for some time, but these are sufficient to call the attention of our subject. The preacher is a leader of the people in moral and religious matters who shuts his eyes to the great question of drinking is indeed a blind man—blind to the highest sense of a humanity of which he is leader, blind to the need of the community of which he is a part, blind to his religious duty in the highest sense, blind to his own competency to lead a confounding people, blind to the awful twist in his own crooked nature through which true religion cannot penetrate, blind to the cry of perishing millions who tread their weary march to destruction—to hell. The preacher who is morally blind on the whisky question, and who will not have his eyes open is the most dangerous man of the present age. His own liquor-smelling breath, his own tottering step, his own private small indulgence and his own absolute silence are steps that lead more men and women and boys and girls to the bar-room and the devil than all his great sermons and pleadings will ever lead toward heaven. His church may be large or small, his friends may be numbered by the thousands, his own personality may draw a host to hear a sermon, his flowery eloquence may enchant the very hairs of your head, his oratory may swell with the breeze of the gentle Pacific, but as sure as mortal eyes rests on the floating crest of yonder rushing billow—"to die unwept, unhonored, unsung," will be the just lot of such a preacher. John B. Gough, the great Apostle of temperance, came up from the gutter and made the whole world ring with his fiery eloquence and sturdy manhood as he stood against the demon that once had him down. C. N. Granderson, the great orator, preacher and temporance advocate, has brought tears State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, Colo. Saved By Pa RACI ORAD HE JOURNA nd Temperance. of The Sunday School Era, of ers Some Telliug Blows mau who Partakes ing Spirits. in the eyes of weeping America because he did not have the manhood, the back bone to practice the doctrine he so often preached to others. How often have we hung on the words of the great orator as he has swayed thousands who sat before him. The Negro of to-day is up against the drink demon. The welfare of the American Negro on the Christian soil is measured by his visits to the bar-room more than by his calls at church. The drinking man will go from the bar-room to the church, and he will go from the church to the bar-room, or the club-room. How many men can a drinking preacher invite from the bar-room? How many men who drink will heed a preacher who gets his dram on the sly in the ally behind the door, and with Sister So-and-so when the old home-make wine is set out? What does a Christian community think of a preacher who favors the bar-room, and who will not attempt to push it away from his own door? What is the matter with the preacher who cannot come out for temperance? The preacher gets his bread by the Gospel. The man who earns his salary ought to receive it, but the whiskey preacher has no right to get pay for preaching a rum Gospel, or for advocating a dram policy. The true Gospel frees men's bodies and their souls also; but a grog Gospels damns men's bodies, and their souls as well. Where the Whites are Negligent. The Nashville American says: A white citizen of South Carolina recently addressed a colored school and because his conduct was criticised by some of the white citizens, who can hardly be a credit to their race, he published the following apology in a local newspaper: "I had left my place of business here on a business trip a few miles below. Upon returning I came by the above mentioned school (the Prince Institute, colored) and was held up by the teacher and begged to make a few remarks to the children. Very reluctantly I did so, not thinking that publicity would be given to it or that I was doing anything that would offend anyone. I wish to say here and now that I am heartily sorry for what I did, and I hope after this humble confession and expression --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1905. of regret that all whom I have offended will forgive me." This is pitiable and contemptible beyond expression. The Charlotte Observer, edited by two representative and worthy Southerners who are an honor to the journalistic profession, makes this comment: "A man would better be dead than to thus abase himself. This man did right to address the pupils of a colored school, but has spoiled all by apologizing for it. Few people have conceived that race prejudice went so far even in South Carolina, as is here indicated. Logically, it is to be assumed that this jellyfish was about to be put under the ban, and to secure exemption from this published this abject card. To it it was appended a certificate from certain citizens, saying they 'are as anxious to see the colored race elevated as any people but by all means let it be done inside the color line.' If this means anything at all, it means that for a white man to address colored school children is to attack the color line in educational affairs. If this is true this line has received many assaults in North Carolina, for it is common in this state for white men, from governor down, to deliver addresses to colored school children, and we have yet to hear the first criticism of one of them for having done so. The narrowness and malignity betrayed in this Orangeburg incident is exceedingly unworthy and those guilty of it should be ashamed of themselves." Not enough white men address colored schools. There is too much drifting apart of the races, as compared with the old days when the whites and the blacks better understand each other. If more white men would take to colored schools, advice them direct them and show that interest which exert a wholesome influence upon the Negroes, we would have a better condition of affairs and a wiser appreciation and a more intelligent sympathy between the two races would be maintained. The Negro is among us. He is here to stay. Is it not wises and better to show a friendly interest in him, to advise him, encourage him, impress upon him the honor and dignity of labor, the value of character, the necessity of the white man's friendship, the wirtue of honesty, self-help, independent effort, etc.? Many white people have little conception of what the Negroes are doing. White men would have far more influence with Negroes if they would visit their schools, churches, business places, note what they are doing and manifest a friendly interest in their endeavors to improve their race and win the approval and sympathy of the whites. For some phases of the racial question the whites are to blame. RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. A new lodge, No, 31, Knights of Pythias, consisting of 223 members, was institutued at Indianopolis, Saturday, March 25. That is said to be the largest ever organized anywhere in the world. Fulton, Ky., April 4.—Barricading himself with a few prominent citizens who came to his aid, inside the city jail, Mayor Wall beat off two furious attacks by a mob last night and saved three Negroes charged with shooting Policeman Baker. Confyville, Kan., April.—As a result of an assault this morning by an unknown Negro on Mrs. John Griffith, a white woman, great excitement prevails here. Fears of a race war are entertained. The authorities have ordered that no Negroes leave the city pending the efforts to capture Mrs. Griffith's assailant. Batesville, Ark., April 6.—John Dow, a Negro, who went to Sulphur Rock to see his wife, who was at her father's home, and because she refused to return with him he shot her dead. Then he shot and killed his wife's mother and an other Negress. His father-in-law secured a gun and shot Dow, but not fatally. The latter returned the fire, killing his father-in-law. New Orleans.—After having received letters from members of Mississippi, warning him not to visit that section under penalty of death, J. C. Hoyt, a Chicago Pinkerton detective, employed by Gov. Vardaman for that purpose, has secured over 300 signed statements from whitecaps confessing their methods of murdering and chasing Negroes out of the country. Detective Hoyt has submitted his report to Gov. Vardaman, who will order county officials to prosecute whitecappers indiscriminately. Lynchburg, Va.—Two suits were entered in the United States Circuit Court of Washington, for Richard R. Jones, a colored Baptist preacher who, during the excitement connected with the assault on Mrs. Shields in Roanoke by a Negro with the consequences that a mob on the evening of February 3, 1904, went to his house, attacked it, and fired bullets into it, compelling him to leave hastily, to walk seven miles through the woods at night to a railway station and to secretly take a train and leave the state. The Indianapolis World says, "A well dressed white woman walked into the store of L. S. Ayres one day this week and asked one of the clerks to show her a pattern that "niggers did not wear." The obliging clerk scratched his head and did some fumbling among boxes and goods until he found a bolt of bed ticking. "This says he, "is about the only thing in our store that 'niggers' don't wear." We did not learn whether the lady made a purchase or not, but she undoubtedly left without saying "that's satisfaction to me." Baltimore Md.—The infatuation of Charles Doughton, a medical student, for Bertha Stevens, buxom colored woman, whom he met at a Negro hall, resulted in his arrest and a fine of $25 for disorderly conduct. Doughton, who will compete his fourth year at college and become a physician this spring set up the model defence that his home was in Maine; that it was customary in his state for persons of different color to associate, and that the questian of equality was never considered in any social event. Doughton made repeated attempts to dance with the woman at the ball, but was repulsed by her. The arrest followed. Quincy, Ill.—Cyrus Greenleaf, colored, an inmate of the state soldiers' home, claims the distinction of being the oldest man in the United States. He says he was born in North Carolina in 1776, where he was held as a slave until the civil war, when he joined the Northern army. At the close of the war he went to Tennessee, where he made his living picking cotton until he sought the Illinois soldiers' home. Authorities at the home received his story with some allowance, but the records show that when he was admitted, in 1893, his age was placed at 111 years, which would not make his age 123 years. At Pine Bluff, Ark. A Negro detective, J. J. Williams has had his commission evoked because of his eagerness to make arrests. Williams could find no culprit upon whom he might vent his authority and to make things lively went to Redfield last Saturday and drummed up a crap game in which he participated. As soon as the bones started to rolling pretty lively Williams pulled his gun and attempted to arrest the crowd. He succeeded in bringing three to Pine Bluff. He had no warrant and the jailer refused to receive his prisoners. Williams' case will be investigated and when over, his man hunting zeal will have considerably abated. Gives Up Wealth to Help Negro. Society in Baltimore is dumfounded over the announcement that Margaret Sophia Ridgley, of a family that is looked upon as the fountain head of the colonial aristocacy of Maryland and the South and famous in the Southern antebellum history, is to lay aside station and wealth, magnificent homes in town and country and go to Liberia to aid in uplifting the Negro race. Miss Ridgley is preparing herself for the new work at the Episcopal Deaconess' home in Philadelphia. The family, in confirming the announcement, does so with consideration reluctance, but as Miss Ridgley is 28 years old and the mistress of her own large fortune, her people can do nothing but acquiesse. Miss Ridgley's determination to enter the missionary field of West Africa has not been taken lightly. It has been a fixed plan with her for several years, and she delayed only because of the opposition of her late mother, Mrs. Charles Ridgley, of Hampton. On the death of Mrs. Ridgley, six weeks ago, Miss Margaret at once began her preparation. It is said she will convert the larger portion of her estate into negotiable securities, and that her fortune will be devoted to the work. Although Miss Ridgley has entertained occasionally at her beautiful Hampton home, and once in a while has appeared at the more exclusive entertainments given by the local smart set, she and her elder sister have devoted the larger portion of their time to working out schemes of broad charity. Miss Ridgley, as the daughter of one of the largest slave-holders of the South, never has appeared to give the Negro any particular importance in her educational and charitable enterprises, and that is one reason why society wonders at her course. The Ridgley family, however, declare that the idea is an old one with her. Descended from two governors of Maryland, Charles Ridgley and John Edgar Howard, Miss Ridgley comes from a race of men and women who owned estates and slaves from their earliest settlement in Maryland and the Ridgley family is one of the few families of Baltimore whose old retainers have remained in their service since the emancipation. Some of them, it is said, would follow their beloved mistress, "Miss Margie," as she is known among them, to Liberia, were it not for their advance age. As the leader of New York's "400" is known by the simple title "Mrs. Astor," so the chief lady of the Hampton estate long was known by the quiet title "Mrs. Ridgly, of Hampton." The Maryland family of Ridgley bears the same coat of arms as the Ridgleys of Staffordshire, England, and the crest of bot families is a buck's erased.—Portland Advocate. The Joslin DRY GOODS CO.

Ata meeting of the State Land Board April 6th a right of way was granted over certain state lands for a reser- voir and canals that are being con- structed near Julesburg. ‘The system is being constructed under the irri- gation district law of 1901, with which ex-Senator McCreery of Greeley is prominently connected. The right of way occupies about thirty acres of the state land and was sold at $3.50 an acre. State Auditor Bent is sending out a new set of Dlanks to the county treasurers for the collection of the inheritance tax. The Supreme Court has upheld the tax and the law re- quiries the county treasurers to collect it. The law also requires that they report to the auditor every six months and Mr. Bent proposes that they shall report whether they collected any tax during the time or not. ‘Treasurer Holmberg is to have his license collec- tors check up the probate courts as they travel about and in this way it will be possible to check the treasurers and find if they are doing their duty in watching the estates. It is a tax that the heirs often attempt to evade and if the state is to realize anything from it a continuous fight will have to be made. It is believed that the law is so framed tnat the state can- not be veaten by deeding away an estate just before death. Bills Signed.

My trouble was chronic dys- pepsia. I became extremely thin aud had a sallow complexion. I had no ap- ‘petite and could not take any food with- out suffering great distress.”” “Did you havea physician?” qe veg a the aaclee te aioe different doctors, but without getting any benefit whatever.” | “How did you get on the track of a cure?” | “Abook about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills was thrown in our doorway one day. My husband picked it up and read it throngh carefully. He was so impressed by the statements of those who had been cured by that remedy that he imme- diately bought three boxes of the pills and insisted on my taking them.” “Did they help you at once?”” “T began to feel better the second day after started to uso the pills and by the ttme Thad taken the three boxes I was entirely well. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can eure even when doctors fail, and they cure thoroughly, for a long time has passed since my restoration to health and I know it is complete and lasting.”” ‘Tho surest way to make sound diges- tion is to give strength to the organs con- cerned.

H. T. Newcomb of the District of Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics showing that 5,174,718 depositors in savings banks of six eastern states are directly interested in the joint ownership of $442,354,086 of steam rsilroad securities, that insurance companies doing business in Massa- chusetts hold $845,889,038 of steam railroad stocks and bonds and 74 edu- cational institutions depend on $47,- 468,327 invested in similar securities for @ portion of their income. Other fiduciary institutions own enough railroad securities to bring such hold- ing up to more than a billion and a halt dollars, about one-sixth of the entire capital invested in railroad property. These investments repre- sent the savings of the masses, there ‘being twenty million holders of life in- surance policies in the country, as ‘many more of fire insurance policies, and an eyen greater number of de- positors in banking and trust institu- tions, where investments are largely in railroad securities.

Colorado Springs, Colo,, April 11.— The United States Supreme Court at Washington yesterday denied the ap- plication of ‘the Stratton’s Independ- ence Company, Limited, for a writ of certiorari in its suit against the execu- tors of the Stratton estate for $6,000,- 000. This means that the estate has won a victory in the Supreme Court and Practically all litigation is now at an end. Both in the United States Cireui$ Court and the Circuit Court of Appezls decisions were rendered in favor of the estate. In the latter court the decision was handed down in St. Louis only a few weeks ago, and the London company immediately applied to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. ‘There is still pending in the United States Cirouit Court in Denver a suit brought by the Venture company against the estate for $2,000,000, but the leading points involved in both suits are the same, so that the execu- tors are confident of winning in the suit now pending. ‘The ground for the suits was the al- leged salting of the Stratton’s Inde- pendence mine by the late W. S. Strat- ton. The mine was sold to the Ven- ture people and the Stratton’s Inde- pendence, Limited, Company organ- ized. The price was $11,000,000. The sale was negotiated by Verner Z. Reed of this city, and he is popularly sup- posed to have received a commission of $1,000,000. ‘When the charge of salting the mine was first made it created a profound Mr. Stratton never for a moment ered- ited the charge, and all along the ex- ecutors of the estate have expressed themselves as confident of victory. The news of yesterday's decision ‘came in telegram to the firm of McAl- lister & Gandy, the attorneys for the Stratton estate in this city. Associated with them in the defense were Justice Luther M. Goddard of the State Su- preme Court and B. B. Whitted of the firm of Dines & Whitted of Denver. ‘The London company was represented by Thomas, Bryant & Lee and Charles J. Hughes, Jr., of Denver, and Samuel Untermeyer and Marshall of New York City. ‘The final_settlement of this suit brings the Myron Stratton Home one step nearer of realization. With this suit out of the way a long stride in the direction of beginning work on the home has been accomplished. "The suit of Leslie W. Popejoy for $8,- 000,000 as an alleged partner of Strat- ton, is not taken seriously. Deportation Cases Dismissed. Tenver, April 11.—A Cripple Creek dispatch last night says: ‘The deportation cases being tried in tho District Court, in which a number of leading mine owners of the district were charged with deporting citizens from this district on August 20th last, were nolled to-day by District Attor- ney* Clarence C. Hamlin. Attorney Hamlin stated that he felt it his duty, under the circumstances, to save the county needless expense, as it has been shown that a jury could not be secured, and that to go further in the cases would be a waste of public funds. Special Prosecutor Charles C. But- ler, who was appointed by Jadge L. W. Cunningham to prosecute the casés, said that he believed the district at- torney was sincere in thinking that the cases ought to be dropped, but that he did not agree with him, and that he believed he had honestly worked up a thoroughly good case. It had been planned to start the cir- culation of petitions throughout the district, asking every taxpayer to sign it, requesting the court to dismiss the cases, Rockefeller’s Second Gift. Boston, April 11.—A gift of $200,000 from John D. Rockefeller to the Amer- ican Baptist Missionary Union was an- nounced yesterday by Treasurer C. W. Perking at a meeting of the executive committee. Halt of the amount was received last Friday and the receipt of the donation was made public at that time. At the meeting to-day Treasurer Perkins said that an additional $100,000 from the Same source was at its disposal, to be used exclusively for the con: struction of buildings in foreign coun- tries. ‘This money has not been re- ceived, but will be available whenever the demands of the work contemplated require it, Neither gift, the treasurer stated, was voluntarily contributed by Mr. Rockefeller, both having been so- licited by officers of the union, who were desirous of raising funds to meet the growing needs of the work in which the union is engaged. Russian Delegates Dispersed. St. Petersburg, April 11—The first Pan-Russian congress of attorneys took place yesterday in the hall of the Impertal Economic Society. . There were 180 delegates present. The po lice, however, entered the hall and dis persed the delegates, as the meeting had not been authorized to assemble. Before the police actually interfered the congress adopted resolutions pro: viding for the formation of an associa. tion to foster social and professional intereourse and to strive for the po: litical freedom of Russia on a basis of a democratic constitution and also to combine with other associations hav: ing the same aims.

To know what is going on among the Negroes and is being done to the Negroes in all parts of the United States, read the Colorado STATESMAN. The Negroes are wealthier, more cultured, show signs of improvement along all lines—even the color line, still we have the vexed question with us just the same as in days of yore. What's the next thing to do? This is a representative Negro journal and we will support no worthless, shiftless person for any position, be he black or white, and especially those persons who have been in every party during one campaign. LYNCHING DECREASING. It must be very gratifying to the law-abiding element of our government, as well as to Negroes as a race, that there were fewer lynchings in 1904 than in any previous year since 1885. This fact shows the wonderful influence of the policy of President Roosevelt toward the race question and how quickly sensibly patriotic people discerned the righteousness of his course. Last November was the one month for twenty years in which no lynching was reported, North or South. During the year 87 persons were lynched—itself a frightful number—but these should be compared with the 104 in the previous year, 96 in 1902 and 125 in 1904. Of the 87 lynchings in 1904, 82 occured in the South and five in the North. There were 83 Negro victims and four whites. Two women were among the number. Mississippi leads the list with 18 lynchings; Georgia and Arkansas are discredited with 17 each. There was not a lynching in any state of the Upper Mississippi Valley. November passed without a lynching being reported, and there was only one in December. It is a fact worthy of special consideration that in only twenty instances was the reason alleged to be the crime which has most commonly been urged—and in thousands of cases most basely—as the "excuse" for mob violence. The other reasons stated are: Murder; race prejudice, 19; murderous assault, 4; conspiracy to murder, 2; unknown, 2; insults, 2; threats, 1, and robbery, 1. These figures are cited to show that the just and wise statesmanship of President Roosevelt has already begun to civilize the "unreconstructed" rebels and sons of rebels who escaped fatal results in the war conducted under the patriotic direction of our martyred Lincoln. They show conclusively that, with increasing intelligence race prejudice is dying out. And that is one reason among many that we desire to see President Roosevelt continue in the executive chair of the nation for yet another term, notwithstanding his declaration that he will not again be a candidate for the presidency of the United States.—New Age. The reasons stated by the Age to have President Roosevelt succeed himself for another term are indeed quite feasible and we are sure, voice the sentiments of every loyal and patriotic citizen and especially the Negro. The people are loath to believe the President's declaration that he will not again be a candidate for chief executive of the nation and many of the leading papers have already begun a crusade urging his candidacy for another term. It is hoped, however that the President will reconsider his utterances and concede to the wishes of the American people to again accept the nomination for another term. Athens, Ga.,—Mac McHueen one of the best known Negroes in this city, was buried a few days ago. He had served the Southern Express company here for the past 37 years, and for the greater portion of that time had done all the collecting for the company, and handled large sums of its money. He was not under bond, but never did his accounts show up out of balance as much as a cent. The company had just sent orders for him to be placed on the pension list of the company on account of his services. The company ordered the offices of the express company here to remain closed during the hour of his funeral. SYMPTOMS OF OLD AGE. If You Have Them, You May Know You Are Declining. Here are the three deadly symptoms of old age: Selfishness — Stagnation — Intolerance. If we find them in ourselves, we may know we are growing old—even if we are on the merry side of thirty. But happily, we have three defenses, which are invulnerable; if we use them we shall die young if we live to be a hundred. They are: Sympathy—Progress—Tolerance. Sympathy—Progress—Tolerance. The first is the hardest to most of us, because our little prison of Actual is so immensely important to us. There is no denying the fact that when you have a toothache yourself, it is hard to have to consider other people's aches. But it can be done, though it generally involves physical effort, for we must bestir ourselves and act; the mere feeling of sympathy expressed by action is a poor, useless thing; but the Soul, determined not to grow old, can force the Body to such physical effort, though there is no denying that it is hard work.—Harper's Bazar. BENEFIT OF FAIRY TALES. Writer Makes Strong Argument for Their Retention. It is very reasonable to argue that no creation of human fancy could last as fairy tales have lasted through no one knows how many hundreds and thousands of years unless it was very good. For that which is not good and not sound must surely die, and only that which is good and sound shall last through the grinding of the ages. So I believe that parents could fill their children's imaginations full of fairy tales if they would make those imaginations strong and healthy. As for that man or woman who has not these bright and joyous things flying like golden bees through the dim recesses of his or her memory, I can only say that I think his or her parents must have been neglectful of the earlier training of their child, and that I am sorry for that poor soul who has lost so much pleasure out of its life.—Howard Pyle, in The Book News. Peat Bogs of the World. Many thousands of acres of peat are found in the north German lowlands. In Ireland estimates place the lowland bog area at 1,576,000 acres and the highland area at 1,254,000 acres. Russia is said to have 6,700 square miles of peat. Several million acres are in Norway and Sweden, France and Holland. The United States and Canada also have extensive tracts. Peat has been used by artisans for ages in the manufacture of tools. By burning peat the old steel workers produced the finest grades of iron and steel, on account of the intensity of the heat produced and the absence of anything detrimental to the metal. The elastic and keen Damascus swords are believed to have been made by the use of peat. Cheese Brought the Tears Wife Was Good Manager Wife Was Good Manager Money in Alligator Raising Japanese Love of Bathing Keeping a Stout Heart Christine Nilsson and Signor Tagliapletra, at one time co-members of the Strakosch Grand Opera company at the Academy of Music, New York city, figured in an episode a la limburger, says a writer in Lippincott's, most inappropriate in consideration of their nationalities. One evening "Faust" was the opera scheduled to be given, Nilsson the Marguerite, the late Del Puente (alternating barytone) the Valentine, and so on. Tagliapietra was "off," and had invited some German friends to a "small and late" at the then famous old Moretti restaurant in East Fourteenth street. As the dinner was drawing to a close the singer found the feast lacking in what he considered the essential limburger cheese for his Teutonic guests, and ascertaining Moretti could not supply them with it, rushed forth to an establishment in the vicinity, where he purchased a quantity and was returning therewith when he ran into the arms of the Impresario Strakosch, who was tearing about distractedly to find him. "Come quickly, Tag,' Del Puente has been taken ill," he gasped. "The curtain is up and there is no one to finish the part of Valentine." Remonstrances from the barytone Wife Was Go Mrs. Benton had been away for a much-needed vacation, and "Aunt Jane," her husband's sister, had kept house for her. When she came home the house looked bright and shining, but Jane seemed a good deal depressed. The two women sat down together the next morning, after Mr. Benton had gone to his office, and took account of stock. "I don't believe you've had a very good time, after all," said Mrs. Benton, looking at her sister-in-law keenly, after they had discussed the state of the larder. "Oh, yes," was the answer. "Only I feel sort of depressed, I've made so many mistakes." "How did you know they were mistakes?" inquired Mrs. Benton. "Did Henry tell you? "Well, yes, I suppose so. He did say his wife was the only good manager he knew. That was after I'd bought some canned soups, and had to send them back because they were the wrong kind." "What made you tell him they were the wrong kind? Why didn't you serve Money in Alli Hatching alligators is the latest use to which incubators have been put. Beginning with chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, the use of incubators was extended to ostriches and babies and now a manager of an alligator farm in Arkansas has adopted the use of incubators there. An alligator is in its propagating habits between a fish and a hen. It swims in the water like a fish and lays eggs, but instead of laying them in the water it goes out and makes a nest on the land like a hen. In this nest it lays twenty-five or thirty eggs; and then trusts to the warm weather to hatch them out. The period of incubation of alligator eggs is not accurately known, but it approximates five weeks, or a fortnight longer than chicken eggs, or a week longer than duck eggs. Most of the alligators hatched at the alligator farms are sold in infancy Japanese Low The betterment workers of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. have encountered some very interesting phases of human nature in their work. An amusing instance of race customs and prejudices is recorded in the World's Work by Mr. Lawrence Lewis as follows: Differences in customs, too, require careful study. For example, a gang of fifty Japanese miners, after working two days in one of the large mines, sent a polite message to the superintendent, that it would be impossible for them to continue to work, unless provision were made for them to take baths every day when they came from the mine. This made the company's surgeon—who had striven, sometimes vainly, with Mexicans, Slavs and Italians to induce them not to slaughter Keeping a If life's way is dark and rough It develops all the stough That misfortune can not blough Nor beguile. Don't despair and weaken, though E'en adverse winds seem to blough; Take thing easy, rather slough; Bravely smule. If you feel no longer young, If your lute is all unstrung And the tender songs you soung Give no sign That they still can cheer your heart, Let by chance an echo steart. Then will some remembered peart Seem divign. If a whisper you have heard, If dissessions have occurred. Breathe no tainted thought or weard To your friends. Let no blight of scandal claim, Vigor from your voice or naim. Nor convey reproach and blaim proving vain, he was obliged to hasten to the "academy," where, depositing the cheese in a corner of his dressing room, he donned his costume and dispatching a note to his friends at the restaurant "to keep it up until he was dead, when he would rejoin them," he answered his "call" and went on the stage. Before appearing for his death scene Tagliapietra bethought him of his purchase, and, to his dismay, discovered that members of the chorus had demolished half of it during his absence from the room. At white heat of anger over the theft he seized what remained, and before he could find a safe hiding place for it his "call" came, so, jamming the limburger within the breast of his doublet he rushed "on." During his death agonies Marguerita throws herself prone across her brother's body, bending over frantically to kiss him. The audience said Nilsson had never acted the part so realistically, little dreaming when she raised herself so suddenly and faced them with that horrified expression and tear-streaming eyes, which they naturally ascribed to a passion of remorse, were merely due to a too close contact with the barytone's limburger cheese. them piping hot and say nothing?" "Why, I don't know! Anyway, I found out that you never'd think of such a thing as buying a canned soup." "What else did you do wrong?" inquired Mrs. Benton, dryly. "I used the table butter for cooking. Henry said that was frightfully extravagant, and in all your life you'd never been guilty of such a thing. Those are only two mistakes, but there were lots of others. No, Cynthia. I'm not a good manager." "Well, I am," said Mrs. Benton, firmly. "and hereafter you take pattern by me. I haven't had a stock kettle for years. I always buy canned soups, and I talk over the neighborhood news while Henry eats them blissfully. I have never had an ounce of cooking butter in my house. I agree with the person who said there is but one appropriate place for cooking butter, and that is on the axles of wheels. But I never discuss those subjects with Henry. My dear, why should I? He is quite right. I'm a good manager; but what's the use of managing, if I can't manage Henry?"—Youth's Companion. for $1 apiece to visitors from the north. As many alligators are raised to maturity as the inclosed swamps and streams of the alligator farm will permit. They are valuable for their hides, which are used for bags, belts, purses and like purposes. The supply of alligators is much less than the demand, as the hide hunters have killed off all they could find, and there is as yet no close season in the game laws for their protection. Like the terrapin, they are becoming extinct in their wild state. At the alligator farms no more old alligators are kept than are needed for breeding purposes. Most of them are sold when a month or six weeks old, and the others are killed at an early age, when their hides are more pliable and easily worked. Alligator farming so far has proved a profitable industry.—Amateur Naturalist in New York Tribune. goats in their sitting-rooms, and at least to throw off outside the houses where the company's scavenger could get at it on his daily rounds—almost delirious with joy. The superintendent had a large tank constructed of boilerplate. Every day this was filled with fresh water, which was heated by a fire built beneath and by hot stones thrown into the water. At the change of shifts, all the Japanese, who made no further complaints, went into this tank and thoroughly bathed before going to their houses. The Italians and other "Christian" workmen, who luxuriate in the accumulated sweat and cold dust of years, and whose children are regularly "sewn up" for the winter, spoke with contempt of the "little heathen monkeys" who 'must be very dirty since they love to bathe so much."

Belleved To Be "Missing Link." Prof. Van Sickle, who for some months has been making geological charts of the northern part of Java, cables the Academy of Science in Amsterdam that he feels certain that he has discovered the long-looked-for missing link. He does not claim the honor of the discovery himself, but says that some weeks ago he was informed by a Dutch merchant, Ven Beuren, that he had discovered a new species of monkeys in a dense forest in which he had lost his way. The professor started out to look into the discovery of the merchant, and while watching for the animals to appear he heard a peculiar, half human voice. Looking up, he saw an enormous nest and two ape-like animals looking down upon him. The natives of that part of the isl and have long known the presence of these apes, which they call "Ash Petrizi." Unlike any other apes, they bathe frequently and the females wear strange necklaces of twigs and red berries, and nurse their young singing half-articulated words. They have, in fact, a language, but it consists of very few words. Masters have contributed to our all exclusive stock.

Israel Zangwill was in Philadelphia during the presidential election, and at the Franklin Inn, a literary club, he told a story of a crafty electioneering boss. "This boss," he said, "desired votes for his candidate, and hesitated at nothing in order to get them. He sent for a poor man one day, and asked this man to vote as he desired. "Oh, no," the poor man said firmly. 'Oh, no, I can't do that. I am already promised to the opposition.' "You are, eh?" said the boss. 'And how much is the opposition paying you?' "Twenty dollars,' the poor man answered. "The boss assumed an expression of disgust. "That was a low price, my friend, an unfairly low price," he said, 'tc give you for your vote. We'd have done better by you. We'd have given you twenty-five dollars.' 'It was not yet too late. The election was two days off. The poor man wavered.

It may be some comfort to laboring men to know that the salary of the poet laureate of England is $360 a year and a hogshead of wine thrown in. Of course, this represents only a fractional part of what Alfred Austin really earns; still it is all that he gets for being poet laureate to the English speaking race. This salary is without any prospect f a raise, although it was increased to its present munificent proportions when Lord Tennyson died. Some time before his death it was decided to increase his salary to that amount, but the government did not decide till after his death. Thus the present poet laureate came in for the raise intended for Lord Tennyson. Effect of Grafting on Wine. Before the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M.

Amsterdam, Holland, April 12.—A fight is now in progress near the Anambas islands, east of the Malay peninsula, according to a telegram from Batavia, island of Java, to the Handelsblad, newspaper. The dispatch adds that five Dutch warships are near the scene of battle. Details are lacking. St. Petersburg, April 12, 4:35 p. m.—The admiralty has no information in regard to the alleged naval battle in progress off the Anambas islands, as reported to a newspaper of Amsterdam from Batavia, and does not credit the possibility of a general naval battle yet. The officials concede, however, that the Japanese may have attempted a torpedo boat attack on a convoy during the night. It is pointed out that there is no cable connecting the Anambas islands and Batavia and that the first news of a fight should come from Singapore unless the Dutch warships are able to communicate with Batavia by wireless telegraphy. Singapore, Straits Settlement, April 12.—The British cruiser Sutlej has arrived here from Hong Kong. She reports having passed the Russian second Pacific squadron, including seven battleships, steaming north at daylight April 11th. Washington, April 13.—Admiral Dewey is quoted2 in the Washington Times to-day regarding the imminent naval battle in the Far East as follows: "Whether Russia or Japan shall be the victor in the Far East war depends, in my opinion, upon the result of the battle about to occur between the fleets of Admiral Rojestvensky and Admiral Togo. "If Togo is beaten, all the money and the lives that have been spent by his country in Manchuria will go for nothing. The Russians, in command of the sea, would cut off communication between Japan and the mainland and the Japanese army in Manchuria would be powerless. "Think what Japan would give for two or three battleships at this critical moment," exclaimed the admiral. "Her national safety would be secure. "This is a thing we must soon take to heart. We have done much in a military way to protect ourselves. What we must do now is the complete arming of ourselves upon the sea. "I don't believe we would have had the Spanish War if Spain had realized what a good navy we possessed." CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. Colorado State Board Organizes for Coming Two Years. Denver, April 13.—The State Board of Charities and Correction met Tuesday and reorganized for the biennial term. The new officers elected are: Rabbi W. S. Friedman, president; Mrs. S. M. Caspar, vice president; C. E. Hagar, secretary; Mrs. Anna Williams, stenographer. All the members of the board were present excepting Rev. T. H. Malone and Hon. William Thomas of Breckenridge, who were not in the city. The following standing committees were named: Insane Asylum—Dr. Eleanor Lawney and Mr. Friedman. Penitentiary—Hon. W. C. Thomas. Reformatory—Dr. D. H. Duggan, W. C. Thomas. Deaf and Blind School—Dr. Lawney. Girls' Industrial School—Mrs. Caspar and Dr. Friedman. State Home for Dependent Children—Mrs. Caspar. Soldiers and Sailors' Home—Secretary Hagar. Private Charities—T. H. Malone. During the afternoon the rules were amended, and the meeting approved the action of the governor in appointing C. E. Hagar secretary of the board, and Mrs. Williams to be clerk and stenographer. Mr. Hagar's appointment was made for the biennial term, ending April 1, 1907. The action of the governor on the 28th was fully approved. Mrs. Harrington, the former clerk, had an attorney present to represent her, and protest. A report was made by the secretary regarding the Denver Home League Orphanage, which he had investigated and found to be suitably managed. Rabbi W. S. Friedman, the new president of the board of charities and correction, is one of the most prominent workers in social reforms in this country. He has lived in Denver for the past fifteen years and has attained a reputation throughout the country as a scholar and thinker as well as an orator. He is intimately acquainted with Jewish philanthropic work and is one of three Colorado trustees of the National Jewish Hospital Association. He was the founder of the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives and secured most of the funds for the building. For ten years he was vice president of the associated charities organization. In addition to his many duties as rabbi at the largest Jewish church in the West and as an earnest philanthropic worker, Rabbi Friedman conducts a magazine, The Jewish Outlook, that is successfully edited and managed. Lively Wolf Chase. Frederick, Okla., April 13.—Yesterday was an ideal day for President Rosevelt and his party of hunters in the big pasture. The President appears to be a whole show by himself, and he is constantly surprising the old plainsmen. One of the longest runs of the entire chase occurred during the fore part of the week, when a wolf was chased over the hills and through the creeks and timber for ten miles. Only the hardiest and best riders could keep up such a terrific pace as this for any distance. When the wolf was finally captured there were but four of the party within sight of the animal, Bob Burnell, Guy Waggoner and John Abernathy, three old-time cowboys, and the fourth was Roosevelt.

Such funny little affairs some of them are—regular little polo caps, or Dutch bonnets, that are only tiny apologies for hats, yet are wonderfully attractive and most becoming. New swisses are embroidered and printed in all sorts of designs, the flower idea being perhaps prettiest of all. A new treatment for the tiny lace frills that face some of the prettiest of the spring hats is running them from the outer edge to the inner and out again in a sort of point, which is filled in by other frills, which get shorter and shorter as the space decreases. Linen hats are exquisite, with every day a new way of trimming—or of making—them, springing up. A white chip hat, edged with a row of light blue braid and trimmed with blue velvet ribbon, is one of the simplest, prettiest things imaginable. Girl's Dress of Bright Red. The skirt is gathered at the top and has a plain front breadth. The sides breadth. The sides and back are finished with an accordion plaited flounce, set on with a little heading and with a band of the material piped with black, the ends ornamented with gold buttons. The blouse is accordion plaited and finished in front with two piped bands, ornamented with buttons. Similar bands form the shoulder straps. 1 The turn-over collar is of white cloth or silk, trimmed with gold braid and buttons, and the chemisette is of white lace, of which the deep cuffs are also made. The latter are trimmed with the piped bands, and the full sleeves are accordion plaited and shirred into the armholes. The plaited girdle is of the material trimmed with a piped band finished on each side of the front with buttons. Fixing Up the Cozy Corner. A corner settle made for a room with high window ledge suggests possibilities for the living room or "den." The settle is made of white wood enameled in light oak color. The space between the window and seat is filled in with curtained book shelves. The ends of the settle have a carved design which matches the "new art" pattern of the paper—a lotus variation forms the motive. This seat is upholstered with brown plush. The big square pillows are of brown plush and brown gold cloth. One pillow covered with a shadow silk in dull rose, brown and green gives a note of warmth. A Spring Hat. Cutely turned up across the front is the spring hat of bronze-colored "crin" or horseshoe braids. The crown is softly indented on top. The A CHIC PARISIAN BLOUSE. The number of dainty blouses that French modistes have made up for the THE spring and summer will delight the heart of the summer girl. This exquisite model for to-day is one of the latest importations from Paris, made up in fine white poplin. The vest, collar and reverses and lower part of the sleeves are a delicate shade of green silk, covered with all-over lace, and the reverses, sleeve ruffles and ends of the sleeves are finished with a plaiting of narrow green ribbon. The girdle is of the green silk, fastened in front with a jeweled buckle. This blouse would be very effective made up in white nun's veiling or in any of the fine whites colored linens, with any contrasting color, as preferred. CHILD'S FRENCH EROCK CHILD'S FRENCH PROCK This little Parisian frock, designed for mademoiselle by her modiste, will be found equally becoming to her small American cousin. A chic effect brim is broad enough to be quite high when sheerly turned up in front, and gives the effect of a triangular hat at sides and back. Folded bands of rich bronze-colored velvet, with a five-coped bow of the same, laid in front on upturned brim and resting almost on the hair, constitute the trimming. One superb pale rose-colored ostrich plume almost encircles the hat. It starts at the back and continues around the crown, but at the left side it curls over the brim, and hangs down toward the back. With the Housewife Meats for roasting should not be washed, but should be wiped with a damp cloth. The dishcloth in a well-regulated house should be boiled with soda once or twice a week. If before grinding the morning coffee the berries be heated for a few minutes, it will improve the coffee. Boil all tinware and frying pans in a big copper, with soda in the water, periodically, then scour with sand. A novel idea seen recently were book shelves of ordinary pine, covered with green burlap, stretched tightly over the wood. This made a most pleasing background for the books. New Aprons. There are many new kinds of aprons, for the demand is increasing for them. Some are edged with embroidery made in muslin and tied round the waist; others have a bib, which is cut in one with the collar piece; this would be very pretty for a bazaar, with a couple of rosettes to be placed at the waist, and where the collar piece and the bib unite narrow ribbons cross in the front and end beneath this rosette. Others, again, are bordered with lace and have a bib, which is attached to a band going round, just as if intended to mark the decolletage, edged, like the skirt of the apron, with lace. Those who want it for work simply have a pretty pink muslin made with a very deep pocket, drawn in at the top beneath a large ribbon bow. Some of the muslin lace-trimmed aprons have pretty ribbon bows attached to charming epaulets and then, again, there are pretty overalls, the bodice part box-paired, set into a yoke embroidered to match the cuffs. It is a very charming addition to a pretty woman's appearance. Boudoir Confidences Baby-dresses, built on old-time models, are made dainty with narrow laces. For the tots who can't wear short sleeves and low neck, come gulps of lace and insertion to wear with these dresses. Smocking, done in three little points, makes an inexpensive, but charming, trimming for a two-year-old's morning dresses. Soft gray suede is the foundation for a beautiful girdle, which is studded with cut steel beads and ends in a cut steel buckle. is given by the graceful lines of the garment, and the busy mother will welcome the simplicity of the design. In the imported model a pink dimity was used, with a yoke of fine all-over white tucking. The yoke, collar and ends of the sleeves were finished with insertion and edging of fine French embroidery. It would, how- 1 ever, be equally attractive made up in white lawn batiste, nainsook or linen, or might be still more serviceable developed in colored linens, madras or ginghams. Still Wear Separate Blouses. So much has been said and written about the going out of the separate blouse one hesitates to buy or have made anything bordering on these lines. From present indications, however, they will be as necessary to millady's wardrobe as ever. PRETTY BLOUSE OF CHINA SILK. Our Paris model, the dainty white O Leather belts for children come in every shade to match, or to tone in with, the little Russian blouse dresses they are worn with. Soft, filmy chiffon is gathered into girdles high all the way round, but especially so directly in front and back. Colored spangles are in evidence, too; silver on white, steel on black and silver and gold together. Their New Corset. Women are to no longer wear the peculiarly low corset. They owe the change to the Marie Antolinette fashions. The straight, high stomacher front is required to give these bodices the straight line required from the bust line to the deep point. Though built on Queen Anne lines, these corsets are luxurious, with no torturing wood and iron, such as that monarch and her ladies endured. The straight-front effect is thus retained, only it is elongated. And there are the supporters! It is said that an old corset of the day of Queen Anne actually shows traces of these same supporters. Of Pastel Blue Velvet. The fronts, which cross slightly, are finished with, wide bands of the velvet. h cross slightly, are bands of the velvet, ornamented at the top with motifs of green embroidery of a shade harmonizing with the blue. 1 On each side of the front, at the bottom, the blouse is trimmed with a band of green velvet and buttons. The waistcoat is of white taffeta, fastened with two rows of buttons, and the chemisette is of white guipure. The sleeves are entirely new. On the outside puffs are let in, and they are finished at the bottom with double cuffs, ornamented with motifs of embroidery. These flare over puffs and frills of white silk or chiffon. The girdle is of velvet or satin. Among the Light Fabrics. Ever since fashion weered around to soft, lightweight stuffs that could be shirred and draped and tucked and made into full, wide costumes, manufacturers all over the world have been working to turn heavy fabrics into light, stiff materials into supple, without losing the characteristics of each material. Nobody thought it could be done with taffeta, yet soft finish taffeta has been achieved, and has leaped into popularity with a single bound. Among the spring suits none is much prettier than those in which taffeta plays an important part. Voile skirts—perhaps one of the new little checked voiles, or one that is plain—are trimmed with taffeta, just the "least touch of a shade" darke in color, and the jacket—a rather short, jaunty little affair—is of the taffeta, tucked in the prettiest of ways. An unfalling recipe for preserving cake perfectly fresh for an indefinite time is to keep fresh slices of bread in the cake box. Change these as they become stale. china silk blouse sketched here, has an unmistakably French air, and very sweet, indeed, will the favored maiden look who is to wear it. The yoke, collar and sleeve ruffles are of fine white lace, with trimming band and straps of rows of fagoting. The fulness at the top of the blouse is gathered in under the trimming band and at the bottom is caught in with a shirred girdle of the silk. The sleeve is a pretty mousquetaire effect, finished with a dainty lace ruffle. Fine lawn with delicate all-over embroidery, pretty dimities, muslin or THE COTTON DRESS organdies would be equally attractive made up after this model. Suit in New Design. A model of blue and cream checked wool has a tailor-made three-quarter length coat rather close fitting, with a plaited skirt that clears the ground. The coat has a dark green turnover velvet collar and cuffs of the same color, and it is cut double-breasted. Complete Violin Outfits for Beginners.
