They are Expected to lay the Foundation upon Which the Present and Future Character and Reputation of the Young People Must Stand or Fall. VOL. XI. The Mothers They are Expected to lay the Present and Future Ch of the Young People Interested as we are in the future of the race we are influenced to write a few lines respecting the mothers of our race variety. Knowing as we do that the mothers of every race bear a most important and indispensable relation to the rising generations, therefore they cannot be too wise, learned, thoughtful and careful in training the young. Those who do their duty well along this line are worthy of double honor, by the community, the State, and the race. They are expected to lay the foundation upon which the present and future character and reputation of the young people must stand or fall. Be it remembered that of our race variety, two generations of mothers have come upon the stage of action since emancipation. The first generation of these mothers were more or less direct descendants from slave parents—parents in a great many instances whose condition was pitiable and sorrowful in the extreme. They had no moral, religious and intellectual training themselves, and every one knows that these are essential qualities that every mother of every race, white or black, high or low, rich or poor, should possess; in rearing and training the young people of a generation, we consider that a large number of mothers and fathers too, of the first generation, who with limited means, limited ability and limited opportunity, did so noble and praiseworthy in their training that to-day many of their sons and daughters too are filling places of honor and trust, in Church, in the government, and the city, such as physicians, lawyers, business men, and educators. to the wonder and astonishment of their parents. To all such mothers we are ready to lift our hats and call them blessed. Would that we had had more of them. Some will perhaps say that the leaders and benefactors of the race to-day, whether born North or South, were born during the last generation of slavery, but this is not true in every case. There are men and women too who are true in every case. There are men and women too who are occupying positions of honor and trust, that are doing much to demonstrate the ability of the race and help on the advancement of the same. Many of these know nothing of slavery only as they read of it in history. No one knows all that some --- History Society, Denver, Colo. Saved By Patp RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL of the Race. Foundation upon Which the Character and Reputation Must Stand or Fall. mothers of the first generation suffered and sacrifice twenty-four or twenty-five years ago, to prepare their sons and daughters for the higher and better walks of life. Many of them perhaps failed because the material, rather ability, was not in the boy or girl; or the home surroundings and the company sought in recreation hours was not inspiring and what it should be. This has much to do in building character, reputation and influence. It is a hopeful sign for the future of the race, when we see the better class of our people in the cities, refusing to live in slums with foreign nationalities. Like the whites those who are able move into better streets and localities. This is right and as it should be. But what of the mothers of this second generation, who are on the stage of action to-day? Have their educational advantages been superior to the former? Should they not be better prepared, in every way possible, than those of the first generation? To all of these interrogations we answer unqualifiedly yes. And the next question we propound is, have they done and are they doing as well, with their supposed superior abilities and advantages, as the mothers of the first generation? If not, why not? The only answer is, they have not used the advantages given them. While the mothers especially, when not at their work, should appear neat and thus inspire their daughters, it is to be hoped that the mothers of the present have not given so much time to the present-day lady-fashions, as to neglect the more important home duties of raining their sons and daughters. The mothers, fathers and young people also, should remember that in this nation especially, with the coming of each generation, there come also greater responsibilities and greater opportunities. And these, so far as the National Government is concerned, regardless of race or color, there are only three requirements expected of every one; citizenship, merit and competency. These alone should be of great inspiration to the mothers fathers and young people of the second generation. May the young people who read this think too much of themselves to loiter on the corners of the streets, in saloons, and billiard-rooms. To the soler industrious, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1905. and honest man or woman, who are prepairing themselves, there is always a living. May the mothers therefore lay deep the moral purity that every one should possess, in the very fiber and being of your sons and daughters. We all know that our best friends on the other side as well as our most merciless critics, seldom speak or write of the race (and this is right) without laying great stress upon the moral purity of the race. It is an essential quality that must be possessed and inculcated in the rising generations. Our sincere hope is that the mothers of the present generation, with their superior intelligence and culture, will do their work so well in the home, that every one may see the effect of the moral, religious and intellectual training of the young people. That those who may be living to mingle with the third generation that is approaching apace, may still be inspired with more hope for the future and advancement of race. Let us all remember the change for the better of the race since 1863 have been wonderful and marvellous, we dare say, beyond the expectations of the most hopeful. Notwithstanding many "false prophets" arose and predicted the disaster and extinction of the race, without "a master" to make them work. The number of farms and homes with personal property, and the taxes paid by the race in the different States—together with the value of the Church and school property of the various denominations of the race are the most hopeful signs of what the future will be. Let us continue to trust in the God of nations, who regards no man by his race or color. Be moral, honest, industrious; get homes; have an extra dollar; be loyal to your church and ministry, and to one another, then all will be well.—Rev. Wm. H. Yocum in Voice of Missions.

Last Sunday a party of young people taken their lunches and walked to hanging bridge in the Royal Gorge. Those who went were Misses Edna Townsend, Anna and Lowada Moore, Ethel Coleman, Eulaliah Moore and Mrs. Burnett; Messrs. Scott Clark, John Thomas, Benj. Moore and Archie Townsend. All report a good time but awfully tired. Western University Notes. Mrs. S. L. Gross, the sewing teacher at the university, spent Sunday' in Douglas county with friends. A number of young men have planned to spend the summer on the grounds assisting in the erection of the new buildings. The oratorical contestants are being drilled by Prof. G. A. Gregg who conducts this part of the commencement each year. In the tennis tournament which was held Saturday afternoon, Guy Anderson and Georgia Williams proved to be the most successful players. The ladies of the Quindaro A. M. E. church, will serve meals in the church during commencement week, so that no one needs to go away hungry. The university choir under the direction of Prof R. G. Jackson, is now at work on the "Prodigal Son" which is to be rendered during commencement week. A party composed of Mrs. W. T. Vernon, Misses Alberta Groves, Bertha Althouse and Cordelia Seymour made a pleasant trip to the farm of J. G. Groves. They were driven all around the farm in a hay frame by Mr. Charles, who did not spare any pains in showing them the beautiful Kaw Valley. On Sunday the party attended the baptising which took place in the lake at Edwardsville. At 4 o'clock the party missed their train and were driven to Kansas City, Kans., by Walter and Pred Groves. Prof. Martin, who has been visit ing a number of schools both white and colored, made some very interesting remarks to the students. In his remarks he impressed the student body with three M's which he defined as follows: Manners, money, and men. Manners, "Culture and refinement are two things which one should carry out in life. Culture carries it farther than we think. Money: After position comes money. If we have money we are better prepared to carry out our plans carry out our aims. Men: I don't mean men in size—men in principle, men who are courageous; those are the kind of men I mean. Men who have high ideas and who are going forth into the world struggling for the uplift of humanity." After this devotional exercises Prof. Martin spent a very pleasant day with us. "It is strange that a Negro should be called "colored," and stranger still that Negroes should adopt the term thsmselves." says the Los Angeles Times. "They are not colored, but are born with dark skins, and it's no disgrace, either. It is the work of God, and is no sign of his wrath. Every self-respecting Negro should call himself a Negro, and accept no other appellation." Professor Thomas B. Lee, principal of the colored high school of Carbondale, Ill., shot and fatally injured John Nance, on one of the business streets on May 15th. Nance had circulated a petition to be presented to the city board of education, asking that Lee not be reappointed, and the fact so aroused the teacher that when they met, only a few words were exchanged before Lee drew a gun and fired two shots into his unarmed opponent's body. The white people of Bell, a suburb of Los Angeles, Calif., have agreed to make any inhabitant of that God-forsaken place forfeit $500 if he sells any Negro or mulatto a home. What the lowest down Negro could gain by living among that class of white folks is difficult to understand. No decent Negro would knowingly degrade his children by putting them in contact with the children of such white people. In the name of God, what good thing could a Negro child learn in such a community? Decoration day, Tuesday May 30th, will be a great day in Charleston. The corner stone of the Pythian Temple and business block will be laid. Hon. Edward D. Green, member of the Illinois Legislature and Past Grand Chancellor of his state will deliver the address of the occasion. The The lodges and the court of Calanthe of Charleston are preparing to give the visitors a royal good time. In addition to the laying of the corner stone of this magnificent building there will be a grand parade of Pythians, Calanthians, Bands and the Cadet Corps of the West Virginia Colored Institute with their own band. In the afternoon there will be a stock rally and speaking to be followed by NO. 35. amusements at the park, such as competitive drills, band concerts, base bali, etc.—Charleston West Virginia Advocate. The Right to Work. In his letter accepting the nomination of the Republican national convention last year President Roosevelt laid down the principle that every man has a right to live his life in his own way, provided he does not violate the same right in others. This all important principle lies at the foundation of the only possible solution of the labor problem in this country. The right of a man to live his life in his own way involves his right to work at whatever legitimate calling he may select. But the course of strikers who resort to violence to prevent men from taking the places which they have vacated is in direct violation of this right to work and to live one's life in one's own way. A peculiar atrocious instance of this kind of illegal interference with private right was seen in Chicago the other day when a band of rioters dragged the president of a teaming company from one of his own wagons and subjected him to an unmerciful beating because he failed to show a union button. He was not even given an opportunity to explain that being a proprietor he was not eligible to membership in the union. Probably, however, this explanation would not have helped matters very much, if he had been given an opportunity to make it. While it may seem exceptionally outrageous to beat a man for driving one of his own teams, the right of an ordinary driver would have been just as sacred in the eyes of the law as that of the owner of the wagon. If strikes cannot succeed when men are protected in their right to take the places vacated by strikers, then they should fail, for the right to work is fundamental, and to ignore it for some fancied benefit, however attractive, would open the way for unnumbered evils, and the violation of still other rights held sacred by the people. Labor conditions must sooner or later adjust themselves to the fundamental law of the land, and it will be a blessing to the working class of of our population as well as to all others, if this principle is soon established and fully recognized.—Denver Republican. Grapes as Diet. Many well-known physicians insist that to eat and repeat the performance three or four time, a day will work wonders with thin, nervous anaemic people who are prone to worry and whose digestion is out of order. All we know is that the grape has wonderful gastric virtues and is perhaps the most digestible fruit in existence.

But It Was Fast. “What is the best time you ever made with your automobile?” they asked him. “I don’t know exactly,” said the chauffeur. “The Evanston detectives in their testimony before the police justice differed nearly three seconds in their estimates.”—Chicago Tribune, RAILROADS AND PROGRESS. In his testimony before the senate committee on interstate commerce at Washington on May 4, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer of the Chicago university, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: “Let us look at what might have happened it we had heeded the pro tests of the farmers of New York and Ohfo and Pennsylvania (in the 70s, when grain from the west began pour- ing to the Atlantic seaboard), and acted upon the doctrine which the in- terstate commerce commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the ad- vantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great con- sumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi river who could haye used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have to-day east of the Mississippi a steel and iron produc- ing center, which {s at once the mar yel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and Iron industry if there had been no market for its product. s We could not have in New England @ great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio man- ufacturing industries of the most di- yersified kinds, because those indus- tries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippl river. And while the progress of this country, while the development of the Sgricultural west of this country, did mean the impairment of the ag- ricultural value east of the Mississipp! river, that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, {t meant incident- ally the building up of great manu- facturing industries that added to the yalue of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the ‘70's. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the west was going to play in tbe in- dustrial development of the east. And you may read the decisions of the interstate commerce commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. The interstate commerce commis. sion never can see anything more tkan that the farm land of some farm. er is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a pro- duction of fifty barrels a day is be ing crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm yalues in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the indus: trial and manufacturing development of this country. Aud if we shall give to the interstate commerce commis- sion power to regulate rates, we shall -no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination tha. civals the imagination of the greatest joet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and dar- ing that rivals the courage and dar. ing of the greatest military general, But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureau- erats,-whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil 1s relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the ereation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that {s to be corrected.” FOR THE BEST DRUGS GO TO FRANK P.

LIVERMORE DEAD CELECRATED WOMAN REFORMER One of the First Great Woman Writers and Lecturers—Noted for Her Work in the Civil War. Melrose, Mass., May 24.—Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, the well-known writer and reformer, died at her home here yesterday. Bronchitis and a weak heart hastened the end. Mary Ashton Livermore was born in Boston December 19, 1821. Her maiden name was Rice. She was noted in childhood for resolution and restless activity, being foremost in all healthful outdoor sports and also remarkable for proficiency in her studies. She was a pupil and for some time a teacher in the Charlestown, Massachusetts, female seminary, and subsequently became a governess in southern Virginia, where she remained two years, and then taught at Duxbury, Massachusetts. There she met Daniel P. Livermore, a universalist clergyman, whom she married and accompanied successively to Stamford, Canectic; Malden and Weymouth, Massachusetts; Auburn, New York, and Quincy, Illinois, in which places he had pastorates. In 1857 he became editor and publisher of the New Covenant at Chicago, on which she did a great deal of work. At the beginning of 1862, Mrs. Livermore was appointed one of the agents of the northwest branch of the United States Sanitary Commission, which had been then recently established in Chicago. During that year she traveled throughout the Northwest, everywhere organizing sanitary aid societies. In the following December she attended a countil of the National Sanitary Commission at Washington, and the next spring was ordered to make a tour of the hospitals and military posts on the Mississippi. At this time sanitary supplies were low, and the most serious results at the Vicksburg camps were feared, but by persistent appeals, by circulars and by untiring persistence and enthusiasm, she secured immediate relief. She also took an active part in the organization of the great Northwestern Sanitary Fair at Chicago in 1863, from which nearly $100,000 was secured for the purposes of the association, and obtained the original draft of his emancipation proclamation from President Lincoln, which sold for $3,000. Since the war she has labored earnestly in the woman suffrage and temperance movements, often appearing on the platform, and editing the Woman's Journal (Boston, 1870-71). Her success as a lecturer before lyceums has been great. At a time when these institutions were at the height of their popularity, she was one of the four lecturers who were most in demand and that commanded the largest fees, the other three being men. For years she spoke five nights in the week for five months in the year, traveling 25,000 miles annually. Among her more popular lectures are: "What Shall We Do With Our Daughters?" "Women of the War" and "The Moral Heroism of the Temperance Reform." The first of the foregoing has been issued in book form. She was the author of "Pen Pictures" and "Thirty Years Too Late," a temperance tale. She also prepared a work of 600 pages giving her experiences during the war. MOFFAT'S LATEST MOVE. Buys Tract of State Land at Entrance of Gore Canon. Denver, May 24.—The Republican this morning says: While D. H. Moffat and William G. Evans were at Washington calling on the President Monday afternoon to ask that he investigate the action of the reclamation bureau in interfering with the use of Gore canon by the Moffat road, the real battle was being fought in Denver. As a result of Monday's action, the State Land Board, in a fifteen-minutes' session at noon yesterday, carried out one of the prettiest coups ever known in the history of railroad building, which is rich with stories of attempts to block progress such as this Gore canon affair has been. The result of this action of the land board is that Mr. Moffat holds the key of the situation at the canon. He may never be permitted to build his road through the natural opening, but the government will not be able to build its dam at the mouth of the canon either. On Monday William G. Smith, right of way agent of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific railroad, made application to Register Mark Woodruff, for the purchase of a tract of land 400 feet wide and 1,977 feet long, through the southeast quarter of section 22, township 1 north, range 81 west. This land is at the eastern entrance to Gore canon and belonged to the State Land Board. Taking the natural conditions into consideration, it is the place where the reclamation engineers must place the proposed dam of any reservoir that may be constructed there. Not a moment was lost and the land board was summoned yesterday morning. All were present excepting Miss Craig, who was out of the city, and in a very few minutes they had approved a sale of the land, less than twenty acres, to the railroad at a price of $3.50 an acre. The total amount is $65. In a few minutes more the money had been paid and a deed passed to the company. Thus is any attempt at getting out an injunction or other delay rendered futile. By this coup the railroad now owns both ends of the canon, having purchased the western end a year ago. in the canon the government owns the land largely. Ohio River Ship Canal. Pittsburg, Pa., May 24.—The long-talked of Ohio river and Lake Erie ship canal is to become a reality at last, through private capital. The undertaking is to be put through by Pittsburg capitalists who have formed a company with a capital of $2,625,000, which will be increased to $30,000,000. The name of the company is the Ohio River & Lake Erie Ship Company and it was chartered at Harrisburg several weeks ago.

ThefCororapo SraTERMAN is do- ing good. We see the fruit of our teachings in several good moye- ments started in the community Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. “Since we must fight if we would reign, increase our cour- age, Lord.” ‘The strike situation in Chicago is yet very far from unsettled con- ditions and it looks as though that troops will have to be called oat to preserve peace. The business men seem to be firm in their state- ment that under no consideration will they take back the men who went out on the strike. They no doubt have experienced the re- sult of re-employment of strikers, who will, at any time, at the com- mand of their officials, go ona strike. We commend this stand taken by the business men, and hope that as a result of this strike, that the Negro will reap a great reward. WHOSE FAULT IS IT. Whose fault is it that the color- ed man’s industrial and commer- cial interests do not improve fast- er than they do? Whose fault is it that young men and women do not find agreeable and inspiring employment to start them on in the world when they come out of school? Why is it that we do not seem to exert as much respect as an equal number of people of any other nationality, although the latter may have been citizens of this country but a very limited time? We are in the habit of blaming all these things to the unjust prejudice of the white peo- ple, who ought we think, to furn- ish us all the benefits and oppor. tunities that they furnish their own. Our disappointment and discour. agement over these points of moral obligations and social duty have sacrificed a great many ambitions and completely demoralized a great many lives, and still we seem to be generally oblivious of the funda mental fact invplved that the fault is largely, if not all our own. Everybody is coming to under. stand that the colored man must do just as other people do, to get himself equally respected with them. We make the boast that there are very few colored beggers. The most of us get employment of some kind, When our earnings are all averaged up, we make very good wages. But what we most need is to be taught early the great importance of saving what we earn and starting a business ta cater to the needs of the general public. If we have what the public needs, the public will not hesitate because we are Negroes. Business success is a natural’and sure re- sult of careful and wise business venture. One business success leads to another. But we must catch the modern business idea, and aim to do things well. The wealth that we throw away for social amusement and waste upon hobbies, we should save for sober use, We mast make business for ourselves if we would ever sce our young folks employed in busi- ness houses. ‘The mercantile con- ditions to which we must aspire cannot be attained without long and hard labor. We are at the very bottom of the ladder, but there are a thousand ways in which we may go up, round by round. DOCTRINE OF SCORN. makes in his lectures and other public addresses is a spirited de- nunciation of the doctrine of scorn, which many people black and white, inject into every considera- tion they give to the relations of the races in the United States. He says that a white man who scorns a Negro because he is black is a white man with a narrow soul, and like- wise, a Negro who scorns a white man because he is white is a Negro with a narrow soul. The one who is broad enough to recognize the soul smallness of the other, and to refuse to seorn because of natural differences, is the better man, and the one destined to reap rewards in the years to come. This is not only beautiful teaching, but correct logic. Race seorn can never safely supplant the spirit of justice and reason. There is a certain amount of contempt for the Negro every- where in this country, because of his conditions and his present igno- rance. In the most liberal com- munity in the North or West, there is a lurking prejudice that whis- pers its cowardly scorn for the Negro and his attainments, and that same spirit inereases and spreads to disfavor opposition, op- pression and contempt as we travel further into the sections of mixed habitations. But after all, this whole evil is a natural evil. It would exist the same if the posi- tions of the race were absolutely and entirely reversed, and the whites would be the victims such as the blacks now are. The mutual scorn entailed by such unusual conditions, when one race of men abuse and oppress another because of past conditions, color or any other cause, are in no degree a cure for the evil. They portend noth- ing good for the future, and do not do justice to either race in any of the relations forced upon them by virtue of their being citizens of a common country and subjects of a common government. ‘To properly realize these wise truths and to re- fuse to scorn because of them, is a Christian attribute that must be attained by the best of both races, if race differences in America are ever to disappear. Upon the one side men prate about the inferior- ity of the Negro, while upon the other we wail about the lying con- tempt and cowardly assumptions of the white man. ‘The race press teems with savage thrusts at the white man, while the white man in- sists that the Negro’s rights are not to be considered the same as his own, But what good is done? What justice is accomplished upon either side of this unequal range of hate and rage? None at all. The evil continues and the hate goes on. The best way to cure in- justice is to do justice. We used to hate all white men because we knew them to be prejudiced, but we have conquered the feeling. Now we en- deavor to prove to those we come in contact with that, if they are pre- pe we are better than they. We succeed in this endeayor when- eyer we show better judgment, greater influence, shrewder capa- bilities, higher principles, wiser tendencies and a finer sense of jus- tice, and thus practically humiliate our proud and better situated ad- versary. And the practice works for good. No man can be beaten on high moral grounds, and retain the arrogant conceit that he once had in himself. 'The way for the Negro to rise is by proving his worth by actual comparison and contact. It is the actual worth of our great prejudice, and not the “hateful anathemas which they may hurl back at our perseeutors, §@ should all Negroes cease the battle of vituperation and seorn and take up the policy of moral measurement and material progress, This would be in conformity with the wisest dictates of nature and the immuta- ble law of God. Presumption, pre- judice, arrogance and injustice are destined to be destroyed and re- moved from the relations of races in America, but only by and through the rebuke of superior at- tainments in the Negro.

Fast Choking Man Relieved by Primi- tua \Oneration., PPO rete eee In one of the most fashionable res: taurants in Paris last spring a man’s life was saved through the skill and quickness of one of the guests. It ap- pears that a man, with three friends, was dining at one of the small tables, when a piece of meat lodged in his throat and he found it impossible to get rid of it, His friends in alarm slapped him on the back, but the un- fortunate man became black in the face and fell to the floor. A surgeon from the German hospi. tal, who happened to be dining in the cafe, pushed his way through the crowd. He saw at once that the man was dying and that if prompt meas: ures were not taken he would quick ly succumb. He ordered one of the waiters to bring him a small funnel such as fs used in bottling wine, and then, withont a moment's hesitation, took out a sharp knife, cut the man’s throat, removed the piece of meat, and—the waiter having returned— quickly inserted the funnel in the opening. The man was then hastily conveyed to the hospital, where a sil ver tube was inserted in the place of the funnel, and a few hours later he was pronounced out of danger. The Unsses at.

An indentoue’ Boy, Not many years ago a frolicsome youngster 8 years old, who was attend. ing one of the district schools in Barre, met an emergency in the fo!- lowing way: He was sitting in an open window at the noon recess, and, seeing the teacher coming, jumped down, catch- ing the seat of his trousers on a nail as he did so, and tearing out a large Piece where it would be the most con- spicuous. What to do he did not know. He could not appear in school in that predicament, and did not want to lose the half day, Retiring to a con- venient shelter, he removed his shoes and trousers. From one of the shoes he took the string, and using the sharp point on the end for a needle, he care- fully caught the rent together well enough to pass muster for the rest of the day, when he marched home in triumph for further repairs.

The Spirit ot Decoration Day 4 nt 4 ay Ae C ce 7 AUN % / NW en Py as ext filt ee The Citizen Soldier of Our Armies So little did some appreciate the real character of the citizen soldier that when the civil war ended there were numerous alarming, predictions that the country would be flooded with great hordes of idlers or worse, whom the life of the camp had unfit- ted for the ways of orderly industry. ‘These evil prophecies were not ful- filled. In the light of what we have learned but needed not to have been taught of the character of the citizen soldier we may see clearly enough that these pre- dictions were wholly unwarranted. The upbuilders of the nation in its in- fancy, the thriftiest and most progres- sive men in the thirteen original states, were largely drawn from the citizen army of the revolution. More- over, the musket bearers of the revo lytion became the pioneers in the west, the state makers of the wilder- ness beyond the Alleghanivs. It was not die to any partiality that every member save one of Washing: ton’s first cabinet was his comrade in arms. The ability of the country had been enlisted in the great struggle for national independence, and the conti- nental army was therefore the best source from which the first President could draw aid and counsel in laying the foundations of the federal govern ment. Thus have we seen that the spirit which distinguishes a citizen army, inspiring the soldier in the be- glning and throughout, finds its «m- piést and joyfulest expression at she end of the conflict in conyerting the energy of swords into that of plow- shares and reaping in paths of peace the harvest of devotion in fields :of war. ‘War did not make the men of the usion armies. It was observed, with some expres- sion of astonishment, by Gen. Grant that whatever kind of mechanical skill was required for the varied works and labors of camp or siege or march, from a single brigade cauld always be drawn more than enough artisans of every class and of the highest degree of efficiency for any task, from the smallest to the largest, of repair or construction. The most varied and unusual skill could always be found in abundance among the private soldiers. Here again we learn that all im- portant lesson that the defender of the country was a citizen before he was a soldier, and not the less an efil clent fighting man for that. Thut he was so good a citizen, indeed, is the reason why he made so good a soldier. It was not the war Which made great men of those leaders who, having tak- en part in that memorcble conflict, af- terward distinguisbed themselves in the councils of peace. They were men of unusual powers in embryo before the war, and as a rule would have ris- en to distinction among their fellows {¢ there had been no war. Many, in- deed, became more illustrious in peace than they ever were in strife. “Cheers for the Living, Tears for the Dead.” —Col. Ingersoll The past arises before me, ag it were, like a dream. Again we are in the great struggle for national life. ‘We hear the sounds of preparation— the music of boisterous drums—the silver voices of heroic bugles. ‘We see thousands of assemblages, and hear the appeals of orators; we see the pale cheeks of women, and the flushed faces of men; and in those assemblages we see all the dead whose dyst we have covered with flowers. We lose sight of them no more, We are with them when they enlist in the great army of freedom, We see them part with those they love. Some are walking for the last time in quiet, woody places, with the maidens they adore. We hear the whisperings and the sweet vows of eternal love as they lingeringly part forever. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babes that are asleep, We seo them all as they march proudly away under ‘he flaunting flags, keeping time to the grand, wild music of war—marching down’ the streets of the great clties—through the towns and across the prairies— down to the flelds of glory, to do ana to die for the eternal right. We go with them, one and all. We are by thelr side on all the gory flelds “—in all the hospitels of pain—on all the weary marches. We stand guard with them in the wild storm and un- der the quict stars. We are with them in ravines running with blood —in the furrows of old fields. We are with them between contending hosts, unable to move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly away among the withered leaves. We see them pierced by balls and torn with shells, in the trenches, by forts, and in the whirl- wind of the charge, where men be come iron, with nerves of steel. ‘We are with them in the prisons of hatred and famine; but human speech can never tell what they endured. ‘We are at home when the news comes that they are dead. We seo the maiden in the shadow of her first sorrow. We See the silvered head of the old man bowed with the last grief. The past rises before us, and we see four millions of human beings. governed by the ash—we see them bound hand and foot—we hear the strokes of cruel whips—we see the hounds tracking women through tan- gled swamps. We see babes soid from the breasts of mothers. Cruelty un- speakable! Outrage infinite! Four million bodies in chains—four million souls in fetters. All the sacred relations of wife, mother, father and child trampled beneath the brutal feet of might. And all this was done un- der our own beautiful banner of the free. ‘The past rises before us. We hear the roar and shriek of the bursting shell. ‘The broken fetters fall. ‘Theso heroes die. We look. Instead of slaves we see men and women and children. The wand of progress touch- eg the auction block, the slave pen, the whipping post, and we see homes and firesides and schoolhouses and books, and where all was want and crime and cruelty and fear we seo the faces of the free. ‘These heroes are dead. They died for liberty—they died for us. They are at rest, They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the ead hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless palace of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars—they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for sol- diers living and dead; Cheers for the living; tears for the dead.

The old remember too well, and the young have learned to know the grandeur of the struggle that maintained the in- tegrity of the nation. The emblem of the Grand Army has come to be sa- cred, and the tatterea tags of '61 fill the eyes with tears, The soldiers of the great war are growing old, and the sentiment of pity has no place in the observance of Memorial day. Rather do we glory in the strength that after forty years on the march of life still revivifies the footsteps of the veterans as they touch elbows once more and hear the music of the old war songs. Rather do we thrill with pride at the many stalwart figures that carry their years as lightly as if the spirit of patriotism had proved in some sort a fountain of youth. Rather do we envy those men that they had share in one of the holiest and—to the vision of to- cay—the most romantic war the world has ever seen. ——$_____ March On lndeuntesa. ‘The Grand Army of the Republic $s undaunted by age and death.

Many, have been the rumors during the past few months of the marriage of this couple, but the founders of these rumors being unable to produce definite information and both of the contracting parties made such flat denials until the public has been left in suspense. Last Summer Sherman Overton, foreman at the Denver Club, received a message from Mr. Falling, stating that he had been called to Oklahoma to attend his sick father and would not show up for work the next morning. Instead of a sick father it was Falling's sick heart that called him suddenly away and it could only be cured in St. Louis whither the woman of all women to him had gone to see the sights. Soon after his arrival, Falling gained the handsome widow's consent to be his better half and the pair stole quietly away to East St. Louis, Ill., where they were united in marriage on the 28th of last September. Mrs. Falling is a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D.C., with unusual musical talent, while Mr. Falling is a graduate of the famous Tuskegee Institute and is soon to become a clerk in the Denver office. Both Mr. and Mrs. Falling state that their marriage was kept a secret for reasons best known to themselves. Local Notices. Hair cut 15 cents, 1847 Blake street The Paxton, 1841 Lawrence street.

GRIP'S UGLY SEQUEL KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS, RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART. Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous After-Effects from Grip and Learns Value of a Blood Remedy. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration, and even consumption. The story told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anaemia or scantiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and thoroughness of action nothing is known that will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that supports this claim. She says: "I had a severe attack of grip and, before I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so lame for a week that I could hardly walk. It kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't bend them, and my hands were perfectly helpless. Then the pains began to threaten my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. "While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements in it impressed me and led me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed. Improvement set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman." Mrs. Laura M. M. Van Scoy lives at No. 20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally well adapted for any other of the diseases that follow in the train of grip. They are sold by all drugrists. Encouraging Infant Industries. The steel product of the United States in the last year of return amounted to about forty-two per cent. of the world's total output. Among the families of workmen in the Carnegie steel district, at Homestead and Munhall, Pennsylvania, in the last three days the stork has distributed eighty-six souvenirs of his friendly visits. Not often to a single industry does it fall to contribute thus notably and with such wide difference in offerings to the material prosperity of the republic. Race suicide is tried by the furnace at Homestead and is found wanting. The propriety is suggested to Mr. Carnegie of a distribution of christening gifts in Steel preferred. Thus may one "infant industry" encourage another—New World World. BABY CAME NEAR DYING. From an Awful Skin Humor— —Scratched Till Blood Ran— Wasted to a Skeleton— Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

We tried nearly everything, but he grew worse, wasting to a skeleton, and we feared he would die. He slept only when in our arms. The first application of Cuticura soothed him so that he slept in his cradle for the first time in many weeks. One set of Cuticura made a complete and permanent cure. (Signed) Mrs. M. C.

KILLED BY EXPLOSION DENVER MAN BLOWN TO ATOMS Merritt B. Walley Instantly Killed by Nitroglycerine or Dynamite on Capitol Hill in Denver. Denver, May 25.—By a terrible and mysterious explosion Merritt B. Walley of 1716 Marion street was literally blown to atoms at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The tragedy occurred on the vacant lot at Colfax avenue and Emerson street. Walley's two children, Edna, aged thirteen, and Raymond, aged eleven, both pupils in the Emerson school, on Ogden street, between Fourteenth and Colfax avenues, heard the deafening roar and shuddered. Mrs. Walley was awaiting the return of her husband at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. E. Backensto, 919 East Seventeenth ave. Backensto, 919 East Seventeenth ave. explosion, as did nearly every one in the city, and with her sister she rushed into the front yard and watched the cloud of dust vanish in the air. The news that Walley was the victim of the deadly explosive came to the wife and children with staggering force. Completely stunned by the sad affair, Mrs. Walley is prostrated at her home. Whether the explosion was due to dynamite or nitroglycerine, whether it was purely an accident or a premeditated suicide, and if the former, how it occurred, are the questions that are yet puzzling the police and coroner. Walley came to Denver from Ward, Colorado, to join his family last Monday. He had been working steadily for several months in Ward, and had secured a position in this city as engineer at the Tabor block, where he was to go to work last night. He was in excellent health and of a cheery disposition. He was deeply attached to his family, and is said to have been in no financial difficulties. He owns property at Leadville, which is profitably rented, and also owns some lots in this city and has an account at the Columbia Savings Bank. Accordingly, his friends say, all possible motives for suicide are lacking. Yesterday morning he started out from his home, in company with his wife, for the purpose of looking at a house at the corner of Twelfth and Pennsylvania avenues, which they were contemplating renting. They walked together as far as the home of Mr. and Mrs. Backensto, on Seventeenth avenue, when Mrs. Walley complained of being tired. "You go on and look at the house, I will stay here and visit for a while," said Mrs. Walley. "All right," replied Walley. "I will go on and you stay here and rest. I will stop for you on my way back." Mrs. Walley went into the Backenston house and sat chatting cheerfully with her sister. Walley went down to Emerson street and turned toward Sixteenth avenue. He had no package with him that might conceal dynamite. In less than five minutes the explosion occurred. It is thought that on reaching the cut-off on Emerson street, near Colfax avenue, Walley took the path across the lot. Noticing the can or odd-looking object, he kicked it. There was a flash, a rear and Walley's remains were blown in all directions. Colorado Soldiers' Monument. Denver, May 25.—As soon after the Memorial Day exercises are over as is possible the commission having in charge the erection of the monument Colorado veterans who died in the Civil War will meet and decide upon the details of the work. This commission is composed of Governor Mo Donald, Department Commander Geo W. Curfman and John D. Howland, the artist. A few days ago the governor notified the other members that the money was available for the monument and that plans for its erection should be taken up. Yesterday Commander Curfman and Mr. Howland called upon the governor and it was decided to call a meeting as soon after Memorial Day as possible. Fifteen thousand dollars was appropriated by the Legislature for this purpose. The law provides that the commission must first select a site on the capitol grounds for the monument and then advertise for designs. When the designs are submitted the most suitable will be chosen by the commission and the contract let for the stone work. It is likely that the site selected will be the one upon which the flagpole in memory of the Colorado soldiers who died in the Spanish War now stands. May Appeal to Congress. Denver, Colo., May 25.—The Republican this morning prints the following special dispatch from Washington: "If Secretary Hitchcock decides to build an irrigation storage reservoir in Gore canon, on the Grand river, Colorado, and thereby forces David H. Moffat to run his Salt Lake railroad through the canon at a point above the level of the reservoir, there is going to be a fight in Congress. "This is Mr. Moffat's view at present, and from assurances he has received, he is satisfied that if necessary it will be possible to secure a specia law authorizing his road to have the right of way through Gore canon without interference by the reclamation service of the Interior Department. "Secretary Hitchcock is apparently opposed to abandoning the idea of building a storage reservoir in Gore canon, regardless of what effect such action will have on the Moffat railroad." Money for Portland Display. Denver, May 25.—E. Lyman White, Portland Fair commissioner, who has been touring the state with the hope of securing a fund of $15,000 to exploit Colorado at the Exposition, returned yesterday sanguine of success. He saw the commissioners of Summit, Lake, Pueblo and El Paso counties, and all, with the exception of El Paso, expressed themselves as favorable to his plan. It is hoped by Mr. White that each of the counties in the state will subscribe $250 and that other funds will be secured by private subscription. The money will be used for an educational, horticultural and general display showing the resources and advantages of Colorado. WORTH REMEMBERING. There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking powders on the market, viz.:- (1) Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know something about these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking powder. (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made from a kind of clay. This is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a pound, and baking powder made with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to 25c. a pound. (2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manufacturer of a phosphate powder. The U. S. Patent Office Report gives a full and exact description, but the following extract is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and with continual stirring and in the following proportion," etc. From this Bone-Acid phosphate baking powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound. (3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juice from the press in the manufacture of wine. After the wine is drawn off the tartar is scraped from the cask, boiled with water, and crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form in which it originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then, while the most expensive, is the only ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond question. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound. Such are the facts, and every one, careful of the health of the family, should remember this rule:—Baking powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a pound are made of Mineral-Acids; those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar made from grapes. Advocate Light Branch Roads. The resolutions adopted by the International Railway Congress at Washington commend light railways, or branch roads, to the careful attention of public authorities. The report says: "Their construction makes it possible to encourage the progress and development of districts which have previously remained in the background, and it is accordingly not only the intent but the duty of the governments to assist them. It is desirable, therefore, not to adhere to old types and old methods of construction, operation and regulation, but to introduce every facility possible, adaptable to local needs and available resources. "It is also desirable that state government and local authorities should accord to light railways, either under the form of subsidies, relaxation of requirements or other methods of assistance, the support which they need for construction and for operation, so that all parts of the country be adequately served." The congress expressed the wish "that the present tendency of legislation to establish more liberal regulations may become more general and efforts of the management to equip their light traffic lines with a more economical organization, which promise to give remarkable results, be continued." Oklahoma Prisoners. Governor Ferguson of Oklahoma cannot go outside of the territory without permission from Washington. "There are a good many prisoner in the territory, including old Geronimo and myself." SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS. New Material and New Ideas for the Decoration of Homes. The styles of home decorations have completely changed in the last few years, and it is pleasant to say that they have changed for the better. Time was when we wung monstrous patterns printed on paper against our walls, and considered them more or less pleasant. It would hardly be fair to say that we considered them beautiful or artistic. But they were the vogue and were put on. The time has come when, with our better methods for interior decoration, better effects can be secured. In wall coverings, whether they be of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Alabastine—whatever the material used to cover the wall—the thing desired is that which has the greatest covering power, as well as permanency and beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall covering ground from Alabaster rock—which means a hard white rock—is the ideal covering for a wall. The most beautiful wall decorations in the world are those which are laid on with the brush. The mural designs in our large public buildings, and the frescoed designs in the large cathedrals and churches, have a permanency and an art of which wall paper is but a cheap imitation. These mural schemes and frescoed designs can be brought within the reach of the every day home. They can be done with Alabastine, which is permanent in its coloring. It does not rub off, and it has the soft effect of pastille. A great many people defer the decorating of their rooms not only because of the expense but because of the discomfort of it. With Alabastine there need be no discomfort and there can be no muss, for all that is needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on the floor, have your man come in with a pall, make the solution and simply brush it on the wall. That is all there is to it, and the room is perfectly clean and thoroughly renovated. No, Alonzo, it isn't proper to ask a girl for a kiss until after you have taken it. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH DOINGS OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY Ten Million-Dollar Fund for Disabled Ministers—Would Withdraw From Christian Endeavor Union. Winona Lake, Ind., May 25.—The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church yesterday heard, discussed and approved and recommendations incorporated the reports of committees on foreign missions and Sunday school work; appointed a committee to investigate and report on the feasibility of the plan of Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court for the erection of a central Presbyterian cathedral at the national capital, and endorsed a project which proposes the collection of a permanent fund of $10,000,000, the income from which is to be expended in annuities for aged ministers of the Presbyterian church and their families. The committee on sustenance was commanded to undertake the work of establishing this fund. The committee now has a permanent fund of nearly $1,650,000 with which to begin operations. The remainder is to be raised among congregational contributions, gifts and an insurance scheme by which a minister may, by paying about $24 a year for thirty years, draw an annuity of $500. Before the thirty years have elapsed it is estimated the permanent fund will be sufficient to increase the annuity to $1,000. There are $20 ministers entitled to share in this annuity plan. The assembly will undertake to get control of its young people by transferring them from the jurisdiction of the Christian Endeavor Union to the direct care of the Presbyterian church. On the subject of foreign missions, the report of the board, as read by Dr. G. N. Lacock of Chicago, showed the expenditures for the work in Africa, China, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Persia, the Philippines, Siam, Lagos, South America and Syria. The receipts for the year ending in April were $1,184,778, and disbursements $1,188,422. A deficit of $41,000 in 1904 has been reduced to $38,762. The report urged special Christmas and New Year's contributions from Sabbath schools and asked for $1,500,000 for foreign mission work next year. A new church in Korea was recommended. Secretary Halsey of the board, who spoke on the report, said not half of the enormity of the atrocities on the Congo river was known and that a day of reckoning was coming for the king of Belgium. The assembly adopted all the recommendations of the foreign missions board and decided that the fitness of a candidate for a foreign mission should be determined by his presbytery. CROP OUTLOOK GOOD. Colorado Farmers Will Do Well This Year. Denver, May 25.—Crop conditions are generally favorable on the western slope, but not so favorable on the eastern, it is said by the weekly crop bulletin issued by F. H. Brandenburg, the section director of the United States Weather Bureau. The bulletin treats exhaustively of the crop conditions taking reports from each county. It says that while heavy rains have done some damage and that cut worms are active, the general outlook is good. Gardens are backward but in good condition. An extract from the bulletin follows: "In the western counties the weather has been generally clear, with temperature about normal, and while some rain has fallen, the amounts have been below the normal. On the eastern slope the temperature has averaged about one degree or two degrees below normal, with cloudy weather and numerous showers; the rainfall, however, has been slightly below the normal, except in the Arkansas valley and extreme southeastern counties. The creeks in the various parts of the state are rising rapidly, and many bottom lands are under water. Conditions have been generally favorable to crops on the western, but rather unfavorable on the eastern slope. Heavy rain and hall on the 18th and 19th damaged grain, gardens and fruit in the eastern counties, the Arkansas valley and along the divide. Vegetation has been almost at a standstill on the eastern slope, but the various crops remain in good condition, except that cut worms are injuring beets and alfalfa in Weld county. Seeding and planting are well advanced, especially on the western slope; east of the mountains work is being pushed as rapidly as conditions permit. Winter and spring wheat and rye continue in good condition, also other small grain; early plantings of beets and potatoes are coming up, and beets are being cultivated in the north-central section. Gardens, while backward, are coming on nicely. Ranges are improving. The condition of fruit is generally good and prospects excellent, excepting peaches; plum, apple, apricots and pear trees are in bloom." Murderers Again Reprieved. Denver, Colo., May 25.—Frederick Arnold and Newton Andrews, the boy Murderers of Mrs. Amanda Youngblood, were granted a reprieve of three weeks by Governor McDonald yesterday. This postpones the execution from this week, the scheduled, to the week of June 11th, although, if the case is taken up by the United States Supreme Court, as Attorney Willis V. Elliott hopes, it probably will take several years for a decision. The reprieve is as follows: "Newton Andrews and Frederick Arnold are hereby granted a reprieve until the week beginning Sunday, June 11, 1905." If the United States Court refuses to consider the matter the execution is expected to take place about June 15th. Russian Prince Assassinated. Baku, Caucasia, May 25.—The governor of Baku, Nakachidze, was assassinated at 3 p. m. yesterday by a bomb which was thrown at his carriage.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Owing to our mode and manner of living, and the nervous haste of every woman to accomplish just so much each day, it is said that there is not Mrs. Chester Curry one woman in twenty-five but what suffers with some derangement of the female organism, and this is the secret of so many unhappy homes. No woman can be amiable, light-hearted and happy, a joy to her husband and children, and perform the duties incumbent upon her, when she is suffering with backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing, down pains, displacement of the womb, spinal weakness or ovarian troubles. Irritability and snappy retorts take the place of pleasantness, and all sunshine is driven out of the home, and lives are wrecked by woman's great enemy—womb trouble. Read this letter: Dear Mr. Pinkham: "I was troubled for eight years with irregularities which broke down my health and brought on extreme nervousness and dispondency. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound proved to be the only medicine which helped me. Day by day I improved in health while taking it until I was entirely cured. I can attend to my social and household duties and thoroughly enjoy life once more, as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made me a well woman, without an ache or a pain." —Mary Chester curry, 42 Saratoga Street, East Boston, Mass.

Alabastine Your Walls Alabastine produces exquisitely beautiful effects on walls and ceilings. Easy to apply, simply mix with cold water. Better than kalsomine, paint or wall paper. It is not a kalsomine, it is a sanitary, permanent, cement coating, which hardens on the walls, destroying disease germs and vermin, never rubbing or scaling. Kalsomines mixed with either hot or cold water soon rub and scale off, spoiling walls, clothing and furniture. They contain glue, which decays and nourishes the germs of deadly disease.

Its total length is 240 miles, and it drains an area of 4544 square miles. Man's First Weapon. Man's first weapon seems to have been the sword. When the Spaniards came to Mexico they found the native Indians armed with wooden swords, and this was probably the most primitive form of the weapon, but, after the discovery of medals, bronze swords were introduced, of which many have at different times have been found.

GENERAL PIKE'S TOMB GENERAL PIKE'S TOMB IS AT MADISON BARRACKS, N. Y. Discoverer of Famous Colorado Mountain Killed in Battle and Buried With Military Honors. The following statement is printed in the Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Register: "The statement recently published in several metropolitan papers that General Pike, the explorer, is buried in the Greendale cemetery at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, is erroneous. Col. Zebulon Pike, the father of Gen. Zebulon Montgomery Pike, the explorer, is buried in Greendale. "The elder Pike was an officer in the Revolution. He was born in New Jersey in 1751, was in St. Clair's defeat in 1791, was brevet lieutenant colonel U. S. A. July 10, 1812. For many years he was an honored citizen of Lawrenceburg. He and Gen. William Henry Harrison owned adjoining tracts of land near Lawrenceburg. Colonel Pike built a house on his land, where he lived and died July 27, 1834. Joseph Hayes bought both tracts and afterward sold a portion of the Harrison tract to the Greendale Cemetery Association. Colonel Pike was first buried in a private burying ground on the east side of the ridge road (now Ridge avenue) and his remains were afterward removed to Greendale cemetery. "Gen Zebulon Montgomery Pike was born January 5, 1779, near Trenton, New Jersey, was appointed a cadet in his father's regiment March 3, 1799, first lieutenant in November of the same year and captain in August, 1806. Appointed to conduct an expedition to trace the Mississippi to its source, he left St. Louis August 9, 1805. After eight months of hardship he returned, having acquired valuable information for the government. "In 1806 he was sent upon a geographical exploration into the great Louisiana purchase, during which being found upon Spanish soil he was captured and conveyed to Santa Fe, where his papers were taken from him and he sent home, reaching the United States in July, 1807. During the hard and perilous journey he made the discovery of the mountain which bears his name, one of the most magnificent monuments on our planet, more enduring than the pyramids and more lofty than any work of human hands. "Receiving the thanks of the United States government, he was rapidly promoted major of the Sixth Infantry May 3d, 1808; lieutenant colonel Fourth Infantry December, 1809; department quartermaster general April, 1812; colonel Fifteenth Infantry July, 1812; brigadier general March, 1813. In 1812 he was assigned to the principal army as adjutant and inspector general and was selected to command against York, now Toronto, Canada. "After the enemy had been routed in the assault the explosion of a British magazine mortally wounded General Pike and he survived but a few hours. His body was buried with military honors in Fort Tomkins at Sackett's Harbor, New York. In 1819 his remains were removed to the military cemetery at Madison barracks. During the war of 1812 Sackett's Harbor was the headquarters of the northern division of the American fleet and a wooden monument was erected to his honor. Poor Plumber. "That man's a plumber? And he hasn't a foot of plumbing in his house." "Not a foot.

The brain depends much more on the stomach than we are apt to suppose until we take thought in the matter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy brain will respond to all demands. A notable housewife in Buffalo writes: "The doctor diagnosed my trouble as a 'nervous affection of the stomach.' I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my household duties was simply impossible. I doctored all the time with remedies, but medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings—I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried it. I feel like a new person. I have gained in weight and I don't have that terrible burning sensation in my stomach any more. I feel so strong again that I am surprised at myself. The street noises that used to irritate me so, I never notice now, and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? The stomach and the brain had not been supplied with the right kind of food to rebuild and strengthen the nerve centers in these organs. It is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. There is but one sure way and that is to quit the old food that has failed and take on Grape-Nuts food which is more than half digested in the process of manufacture and is rich in the phosphate of potash contained in the natural grain, which unites with albumen and water—the only three substances that will make up the soft gray filling in the thousands of delicate nerve centres in the brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a sure road back to health in all such cases. Mars Peopled By Farmers. "Mars is inhabited." The fact is proved, according to Prof. Robert W, Prentiss of Rutgers College, by the straight lines on the surface of the planet, which, he says, are fertilized areas of land instead of huge canals, as heretofore believed by astronomers. These views, which are the results of his scientific researches, he set forth recently in a stereopticon lecture held under the auspices of the board of education at Fifty-ninth street and Park avenue. He said that nearly the entire surface of the planet Mars was desert land, and that through the wastes were many straight lines, which he believed were strips of land, cultivated by intelligent people.—New York World. Deepest Known Fishing. Near the Tonga islands, in the Pacific, some time ago a fish net was sunk 23,000 feet below the surface. That is the deepest haul ever made. It took a whole day to sink the net and raise it. Life was found even at that depth, over four miles, where the temperature was just above freezing and the pressure 2,000 pounds to the square inch. Back at Work Again. Buffalo, N. Y., May 22nd.—(Special)—Crippled by Kidney Disease till he could not stand on his feet for the hours required at his trade, F. R McLean, 90 East Ferry St., this city, had to quit work entirely. Now he's back at work again and he does not hesitate to give the credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Yes," Mr. McLean says "I was too bad, I had to quit. I could not stand on my feet for the necessary hours. It was Kidney Disease I had, and a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I did so and after using six boxes am completely cured and am working as steadily as before I was sick. I recommend Dodd's Pills to any one afflicted with Kidney trouble." There is no form of Kidney Disease Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure They always cure Bright's Disease the most most advanced and deadly stage of Kidney Disease. Automotor Cars. The International Railway Congress at its recent meeting in Washington considered the use of automotors and in its resolutions declares that experiments with this class of vehicles should be continued. "It may be expected," the conclusions say, "that from now on automobile cars and automotors hauling trailers will constitute a valuable means of transportation which on some lines will have a great future. Owing to the saving in the number of employees required, the probable reduction in cost of maintenance, the material reduction in the cost of traction and better utilization of rolling stock and the smaller extent of station installations required, it will be possible materially to reduce the cost of working lines with little traffic, and will, in the cases of other lines, result in a material improvement in the working of some classes of service. Their use will certainly effect a change in the system of operation in the case of a great number of lines and appears to have a real future before it." Superior quality and extra quantity must win.

In the early sixties it was usually the duty of a practicing physician to ride many miles every day on his regular round of visits upon his patients. In those days a young man who had received a splendid medical training in one of the best medical colleges of that day was accustomed to ride ten, twenty or thirty miles on the sick and afflicted. His success was the opposite enal. Doctors and families called him for consultation to towns at considerable distances by rail.

Scientifically prepared by experienced chemists at the Laboratory of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce does not claim for his "Favorite Prescription" that it is "cure-all." It is recommended as a most perfect specific for woman's peculiar ailments. So uniform are the results which follow the use of this remarkable remedy, that can be truly affirmed of "Favorite Prescription" (the claims help and almost always cures). Ninety-eight of the women who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured.

In a delicate pearl gray, inset with lace dyed to match, and in a design or huge grape clusters, and trimmed with soft frills of yellowish alencon, this new moire made a most detectable flowing three-quarter coat. The new supple raille, too, has been taken up enthusiastically by cloakmakers, but taffeta still holds the first place. Mousselline, chiffon cloth, and net are perishable materials for the wrap, but, perhaps for that very reason have for some time past been popular with the women who do not count dollars in their pursuit of modish elegance. Models in these sheer stuffs are lovelier than ever, and the flowered moussellines and chiffons so wonderful in design and coloring are often utilized by the artist in coats. Useful Gown. Navy Serge, most serviceable of materials, makes this gown, with touches of white and red to smarten up the coat, and triple rows of fancy buttons as a finish. Silk Shirt Waist Suits Silk Shirt waist suits have changed a good deal since last year, and half of them have the chemisette in one form or other; the little round and square necks are most popular, although surplice styles make V shapes of the tuckers. Circular flounces have come in again, after circular skirts, and prove an attractive way of getting a graceful little extra fullness about the skirt from the knees down, without accentuating fullness further up on the skirt. The same skirts often show tucks running up and down—just on each side of the front and of the back, giving a sort of panel effect that is very good. With this skirt the shirt waist should be tucked down front and back like the skirt, carrying out the panel effect. Leave the shoulders plain, and put stitched bands of the material in a broken line to define a deep yoke and about the tiny square neck. The yoke and cuffs may be made separate or attached. Three-Flounce Skirts. Three-flounce skirts have swept back into form—the kind where the three flouces make up the whole skirt. The top flounce is tucked to fit closely over the hips, and the other two flouces fulled on. Those circular ruffles make attractive three-flounce suits—almost prettier than the full flouces and more becoming to a stouter figure. Shaped circular flouces—come for setting on peti-coat foundations of soft white stuff or of silk. The flouces are made of sheer lawns and linens, embroidered elaborately or simply, according to purse and taste. The New Slipper. Perhaps there is no better illustration of how carefully the smart girl considers every little detail of her dress than the new slipper which the girl with the large foot is wearing. She scorns all the gay colored, brilliantly embroidered evening slippers, and wears instead a plain black satin slipper which fits the foot very snugly, has a medium high French heel, and an exceptionally large black satin or black velvet bow in front which really has a remarkable way of apparently reducing the size of the foot. Boudoir Confidences Linen soutache braid trims the smart linen. Valenciennes lace comes now in circular flouces. The soft leather girdles are embroidered in colors. Shaded stockings, the color paling toward the top, are new. Patent leather ties are procurable now in both mauve and white. AIDS TO .HOME SEWING AIDS TO .HOME SEWING The open-work shoe has come. It makes its initial bow in white kid. Short black coats with light skirts is a combination that will be much seen. Burlingham silk is making some of the most approved coat and skirt costumes. Gloves with open embroidery up the back, showing contrasting kid beneath, are new. Tan shoes, tan gloves and a brown hat give most any dress an air of completeness. With the Housewife Soaking prints in salt water before washing fastens the colors. Ink stains on linen should be soaked out in milk and the sooner this is done the better, for, though wet ink comes out readily, it takes a good deal of soaking to remove it if it has been allowed to dry in. Never neglect small repairs—a stitch in time saves not only nine, but ninety! Don't let buttons hang by their last thread, darn small holes, never wear dirty linen or tumbled lace, brush off mud, and bind frayed skirts. After washing, silk lace should be allowed to lie for half an hour in a little warm milk, to which a very little gum water has been added. Then squeeze nearly dry and iron on the wrong side on a board covered with several thicknesses of clean flannel. For the Dust Cloak For midsummer wear, when a wrap is worn more for protection from dust than for warmth, the pongee and silk coats are by far the best, and fashion has pronounced in favor of light rather than dark colors. Tan, gray, all pale colors and white—an ivory white—are thought far better than the dark blues and blacks that at first were thought the more practical. Fortunately common sense does play a prominent part in fashions nowadays, and when, as in this instance, it is discovered by actual test that light colors are best, as they shed the dust, then light colors are worn by the majority. The blues and reds in bright shades are very smart also, but these colors require to be carefully chosen or they will be too conspicuous. New Styles in Mohairs. Mohairs have come out in the prettiest of pastel checks, and mohairs have no end of wear in them. They make the most satisfactory traveling suits and dresses imaginable. Chiffon-taffeta, in the tiny broken checks and hair lines, copied from old-time silks, makes up exquisite suits. Regulation shepherd's checks, and, most of all, the shadow checks, are stronger than ever. In wash stuffs linen leads. But chambray and ginghams, and, by the way, those dark plaid ginghams, make stunning suits, re- Plain shirtwaists always are in demand, and always fill a need. This one shows the new sleeves, that are full at the shoulders, and includes a wide box plait at the center front. The model is made of Russian blue 1 sicilian mohair, stitched with corticelli silk, and is worn with a belt and tie of black taffeta. All waisting materials are, however, equally appropriate, the many mercerized cottons as well as wool and silk. The waist consists of the fitted lining, which is optional, fronts and back. The back is plain across the shoulders, drawn down in gathers at the waistline, but the fronts are gathered at their upper edges also, so forming becoming folds. The sleeves are in shirt style, gathered into straight cuffs, and at the neck is a requisition stock. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $3\frac{3}{4}$ yards 21 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 27 inches wide, or 3 yards 44 inches wide. lleved from too somber a style by chemisettes, and a hundred other materials are used, trimmed or plain. The broderie Anglaise suits are stunning, and the embroidered ones, and a severe little kind of plain suit that is just coming in—more mannish as to style, yet anything but masculine. Only a few have been made yet, but they're too fascinating not to be repeated. Newest in Coiffures. Fringes—as known in the nineteenth century—are now things of the past. Smart women wear a light, straight rouleau of hair on their foreheads, or wave the hair into an artistic frame for their faces, with one or two soft curls to break any hardness in the outline. And sometimes one curl is worn drawn to a point in the middle of the forehead. A few women, tall and with long, swanlike necks, dress their hair low, with a loose knot in the nape of the neck. Several of the newest ideas are here expressed: the tunic fashion of the skirt, leaving a flat front; the deep point to the corsage, and the elbow sleeve with the turned-up gauntlet cuff. The material is white cloth, and the collar and cuffs are embroidered linen. Custard Souffle. Use two cups of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, half a cup of sugar, four eggs, two teaspoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Scald the milk in a double boiler and when hot add the yolks of the eggs well beaten, with the sugar and flour; take from the fire as soon as it begins to thicken, and stir in the butter. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and mix with custard light. Bake in a slow oven for half an hour. Serve immediately. CHILD'S TUCKED FROCK. Wee tots are always charming in frocks of dainty material simply made. The very pretty little model shown is tucked to form a yoke, and can be finished plain or with the bertha as preferred. The original is made of fine nainsook, with trimming of embroidery, but all fabrics used for the dresses of little children are appropriate. With the bertha the frock be comes suited to dress occasions; without it is adapted to the hours of play and to simpler materials. The dress consists of front and back, the tucks forming the yoke, with full sleeves that are tucked above the elbows in conformity with the latest style. The bertha is circular, and ar- 1 ranged over the dress on indicated lines, and at the lower edge is a gathered frill. The quantity of material required for the medium size (2 years) is 3 yards 27 inches wide, $2 \frac{1}{4}$ yards 32 inches wide, or 2 yards 44 inches wide, with $5 \frac{1}{2}$ yards of embroidery to trim as illustrated in the medium size.
