Industrialism in the South. Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Register of the United States Treasury Delivers Instructive Address at St. James Presbyterian Church, New York. On the evening of May 16, Mr. Lyons delivered an important and highly instructive address at the St. James Presbyterian Church in New York City. He discussed at considerable length the important part the colored people are playing in the industrial development of the late slave-holding states. He showed from statistics furnished by the census office and farms owned or controlled and operated by colored farmers in the South are more than twice as productive in proportion to the area cultivated as the farms operated by white farmers. In the production of cotton, sugar-cane, rice, manufactured tobacco and cotton seed oil, they again figure in the most creditable manner, as to per capita productivity. In regards to illiteracy, he argued from the report furnished by the bureau of statistics that now less than $44\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. of the colored people are illiterate. This illiteracy of the colored people he compared to the illiteracy of several of the European states, where the people have been free "from the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," as follows: "In Hungary the illiteracy is 47.8 per cent.; in Servia, 79.3 per cent, and in Roumania, 88.4 per cent. "The colored people of the United States have been emancipated but one generation from slavery, yet have they outstripped European races who labor under no such handicaps as people of color are forced to contend with here. If this is not speed on the part of the colored men, what would you say of the people just mentioned?" The speaker quoted with commendation extensively from the letters of Mr. William E. Curtis. "But man does not live by bread alone," continued Mr. Lyons. "He is not happy, and will not le, if his civil & political privileges are abated one iota. The wealth of a Croesus will not compensate for the illegally withdrawn or restricted ballot; for the infliction of the 'Jim Crow' cars; the practice of peonage and numerous other degrading and odious discriminations. Liberty and equality before the law has been the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night that has guided this nation through the shoals, quicksands and storms of the past; and woe be unto us when we shall become indifferent to these virtures." He quoted from a speech delivered by General Garfield thirty-nine years ago the following gem so applicable to the situation to-day. Said the soldier-statesman: "We must give full force and effect to the provision that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. We must make it as true in fact as it is in law that 'The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.' We must make American citizenship the shield that protects every citizen on every foot of our soil." Mr. Lyons closed his remarks upon the practical disfranchisement of the Negro in the South with another extract from the speech of Garfield: "I know of nothing more dangerous to a republic than to put into its very midst four million people stripped of the right of representation, but bound to pay taxes to the government. If they can endure it, we can not. The murderer is to be pitied more than the murdered man; the robber more than the robbed; and we who defraud four million citizens of their rights are injuring ourselves vastly more than we are injuring those whom we defraud. I say that the inequality of rights before the law, which is now a part of our system, is more dangerous to us than to the black man whom it disfranchises. It is like a foreign substance in the body, a thorn in the flesh; it will wound and disease the body solitic." Mr. Lyons' felicitious address was enthusiastically received by a large audience and was commented upon more favorably by press and public as a valuable contribution to the discussion of America's most intricate domestic problem.—Charleston W.

Monroe Grant of this city received the sad news a few days ago of the death of his oldest son Amos who went to the navy about four months ago. He was out swimming with some of the boys and it is thought that he became cramped as he made no out-cry. When the boys recued him he was unconscious and died soon after. Everyone extends their sympathy to the bereaved parents, as Amos was quite a favorite with all who knew him. Sam Ellis is a new arrival in our city. Color Line in Labor Warfare. Henry Banks, one of Denver's most highly esteemed citizens and foreman in one of the largest machine shops in the state, had the following to say in the Denver Post of last Wednesday of Samuel Gompers, the great labor leader and trouble breeder: "It's strange what an effect Colorado light air has on some of these prominent men or so-called leaders. When interviewed by your representative he began by placing the blame on the shoulders of the entire race, simply because they are a handful of colored men who are honest enough, brave enough to take such chances to make an honest living. There are thousands of white strike-breakers who have been imported hundreds of miles to fill these same jobs, and if traced back to their former home, or if searched, would find that the white men are carrying union cards and are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, of which Mr. Gompers, is leader and who is furnishing more support to break the Chicago strike than anybody else. Mr. Gompers don't give the white people out here credit for knowing what has caused the strike, but will try to poison their minds with prejudice against the black man. In the writer's opinion a man of Mr. Gompers' standing, traveling from one part of the country to the other, spinning his little yarn of falsehood upon the Negro, has done and will do more to cause race trouble than all the strikes inaugurated, and when the white workmen look at it in this light they will decide that such a leader is dangerous to the A. F. of L. and is not a true American. Respectfully yours, a Negro, HENRY BANKS." A Southern View. More than forty years ago the white men of the Northern states, fathers of the present strikers of Chicago, engaged in a dreadful war to free the Negro slaves of the Southern states. Their argument was that as white men and as citizens they were compelled to work in competition with those Negro slaves. After a struggle which cost the lives of a half million men and created a debt upon the American people of thousands of millions of dollars, not to mention the burning of cities, towns and homes and other enormous vandalisms, the slaves were set free and converted into citizens. To-day the sons of the men who freed the Negroes at such frightful cost do not have to come South to compete with Negro labor, but the Negroes are going North and forcing their competition upon the whites. That is the situation today, a situation which is constantly more aggravated and serious. There it is, and there is no way of avoiding it. The final result will be that millions of white men will come to the favored and extraordinary richly endowed South, to get out of the way of the millions of their Negro fellowcitizens who will be crowding in the North. That is the situation that is coming on. —Ex. The over enthusiastic Northern man who so far forgets himself as to betake himself and family to the Southern states to cast his lot will come back again a saddler, but wiser man.—Seattle Republican. Old Folks and Orphans Home Visited by Its Officers and Friends, Sunday, May 21st. Steve Lucas, with his span of spirited horses, according to contract, was at Zion Baptist church Sunday May 21st, in full readiness to carry the officers and visitors to the home of 160 acres beautifully located on the Colorado Eastern railroad. As they journeyed toward the home the beauties of nature such as spring time brings in magnificent splendor was much enjoyed by the party. In two miles of the home the party stopped at a neighbor ranchman and enjoyed a few moments chat with the occupants and after enjoying a bucket of cool milk presented to them they proceeded to the home where curiosity ran so high that the many lunch baskets were forgotten. After the pilot has shown them around the house, barn and other outbuildings and the inexhaustible mineral well, all were much admired and the many voices went up exclaiming: "The very thing we need for our orphans and old ones." After all had partaken of the mineral water lunch was served, after which they visited the spot where a large building is to be erected for the inmates. This point is higher than Denver and a good view of the city and surrounding country can be had. Traveling westward the party came to that portion of the land which has been under cultivation where the richness of the soil affords a fine spot for gardening and raising alfalfa. Passing through the 14 acres of alfalfa which is already growing, the party made their way to the house again, where a short religious service was held before departing for the city. Those who comprised the party were, Messrs. Robert Gray, Steve Lucas, W. R. Rhodes; Mesdames J. A. Smith, M. E. Morrison, Hattie Shelton, Luvene Knight,'J. T. Clark; Miss Smith; Master Robert Smith. Would Redeem the State. The state of Mississippi has for many years suffered from the race issue in its acutest and most paralyzing form. The Negro has been an object of hatred and attack because he was a Negro. Whenever a mob of white ruffians, inflamed with drink and angered by some real or fancied misconduct that could be laid at a black man's door set out to find a victim, the result was likely to be an atrocity presenting features of brutal horror that shocked the entire country. The effect of this state of things has been to retard progress and make the state one of the most backward in development. New blood has been kept away; capital, which loves the land of order and justice, has shrunk from the work of exploiting vast latent resources, and the commonwealth as a whole has had no part in even the leisurely march of progress which the other Southern states, late, but with determination, have taken up. Mississippi has become a byword for lawless hoodlumism and industrial stagnation. From this slough of despond the more thoughtful Mississippians are uniting in an effort to rescue their state. With true instinct they have gone straight to the core of the evil—the disregard of human life and of public law, which has so long been a curse to their community. They hope to make Mississippi ready for better things by first making it safe for the workingman, white or black, who is industrious and lawabiding, to live there. A dispatch to the New York Tribune describes the organization and performance of the Law and Order League in Mississippi, which, working through the marshals of the federal courts, is rounding up and bringing to trial at Jackson all the 350 men who have been indicted for white cap outrages during the last few years. The officers of the law have also collected more than 400 witnesses, and an ample armed force is reported to be at hand to block any attempt at rescue or interference with the work of the court. Many of the indicted persons are said to be of high social standing, some of them members of the legislature, others holding state and county offices. The detectives declare that they have evidence O NO. 36. which will bring about the hanging of those who have disgraced the good name of the state. The trials will occupy a month. The outcome will be watched with interest all over the country, and every American who wishes well to the South will bid Godspeed to this movement as the beginning of a new regime in Mississippi. Other states, North and South, are not guiltless in the matter of mob violence, and those in which the rule of law has been subordinate to the reign of ignorant passion and prejudice may well take a lesson from the determined Mississippians who are bent on redeem their state. The editor of the Republican has always maintained that the white folk of Mississippi were far more heathen than the black folk, and now that the better thinking white folk of the state are publicly admitting the same it gives us the right to rise to remark, "We told you so." The state is largely made up of bandits and cut-throats, who when they have killed or driven out the Negroes, will turn as viciously on those whites who do not believe as they do.—Seattle Republican. RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. Frankfort, Ky., May 19.—The Court of Appeals to-day decided in the case of the Commonwealth vs L. and N. Railroad company, from Taylor county, that a railroad company can not be punished for a violation of Section 793 of the Kentucky statutes because the statute fixes no penalty. The section says that sufficient coaches must be provided on every passenger train for the transportation separately of all white and colored passengers. On an overcrowded excursion train in Taylor county a number of white passengers had to take seats in the Negro coach, and the railroad was indicted for not furnishing sufficient coaches to accommodate all those who applied to take the trip. Portland, Or., May 18.—In a decision handed down to day in the State Circuit court Judge Frasea ruled that it is within the rights of the proprietor of a place of amusement to expel from the theatre Negroes or other objectionable persons; that the ticket of admission is merely a license, revocable at the pleasure of the proprietor. The decision was rendered in the suit of Oliver Taylor, a Negro, who sought to recover damages to the amount of $5,000 from S. Morton Cohn, proprietor of a theatre, because the latter had refused to permit the Negro to sit in a box, one of the rules of Cohn' theatre being that Negroes are not permitted to occupy boxes.

United States System of Lighting Military Post Pronounced Gratifyingly Successful—Six and One-Half Miles of Mains—Sixty-Five Street Lights. Chickamauga Park Ga., May 31. The United States government has here in operation one of the largest acetylene gas-plants in the world. The military post at the entrance of the historical Chickamauga battlefield where thirty thousand Union and Confederate soldiers were lost in the memorable battle of Sept. 19 and 20, 1863, contains about one hundred buildings, the seventy-five principal ones of which are lighted with acetylene. To accomplish this six and one-half miles of mains and two miles of service pipes are in use, while sixty-five street lamps brilliantly illuminate the avenues of the post. In 1903 the War Department installed a test acetylene plant at Fort Meyer, Virginia. The results were so gratifying and the superiority of the illuminant so evident that the government, March 20, 1904, placed the contract for the Chickamauga plant, in which every citizen of the United States should have his pro rata of pride. But the government has not confined its acceptance of acetylene to this military post. Since becoming satisfied of the efficiency, superiority and economical advantages of this particular illuminant, the United States has installed a number of plants in Indian schools and other government institutions. Acetylene gas is one of the simplest as well as the most perfect of artificial lights. It is made by the contact of water and carbide, (a manufactured product for sale at a nominal price), is absolutely safe and gives a beautiful white light soothing to the eyes and nerves. It can be produced anywhere—in the farm home, the village store, the town hall, the church—and is so easily maintained as to be practical for all classes. It is a matter for national congratulation that in beautifying so historic a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the best, including the lighting system, has been deemed good enough for the American people. The hardest work some fellows ever do is looking for it. Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play? When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers appeared, after eight months' investigation, it was severely criticised and roundly denounced. After three months of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures contained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out of which the "Beef Investigation" arose were without foundation. If the official statements of the report are susceptible of contradiction, a good many people are now asking why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them. The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensational assertions. A flagrant example of this appeared in a recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that "forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef Trust's manipulation of cattle prices." Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking department of the Iowa State Auditor's office, has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods. It may be well to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved. The smaller the man the harder he tries to get even.

A good deal of damage was done by a destructive hallstorm between Arvada and Golden on the afternoon of May 27th. The five Grand Army posts of Denver will unite in holding a great "June Fair and Festival" at Denver June 21st to July 1st. Many men are going from Trinidad to work on the construction of the new railroad from Durango to Farmington, New Mexico. Edwin Williams, formerly at the head of the sampling works at Boulder, died May 24th in Idaho, where he was engaged in mining. Many thousands acres of peat lands have been discovered near Tolland on the Moffat road, and plans are being formulated for the manufacture of fuel from it. Heavy storms on May 27th caused the breakage of the dams of the Crater and Dog Fish reservoirs, near Delta, Hanson's reservoir near Paonia, and the Irwin dam near Holyoke. The Gore canon case came up in the federal court at Denver May 25th and arguments were postponed until June 15th in order to give the attorneys on both sides time to file their affidavits. The six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan of Pryor, Huernano county, set her dress on fire while working at the kitchen stove on the 29th ult., and was so badly burned that she died next day. J. M. Holland's big ranch, twenty-nine miles northeast of Pueblo has been sold to J. J. Rose of Colorado Springs for $65,000. The ranch comprises many acres and several thousand head of cattle. The Empson Canning Company at Longmont is increasing the capacity of its plant for the season's run on peas. When the machinery now arriving is in place, the factory will have a capacity of 20,000 cans of peas per hour. The new armory building of Company D, National Guard, at Greeley, will be 118x54 feet in size, with a drill hall 95x54 feet. Officers' and company quarters will be nicely fitted up, and will be free headquarters for the G. A. R. The United Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the Eagles, the letter carriers' union and the carpenters' union are considering the building of homes and sanitariums in Colorado for the benefit of their members throughout the country. The cog road reached the summit of Pike's Peak May 26th with its first train this year. In order to open the track a force of 100 men was kept at work for six weeks and removed 4,000,000 cubic feet of ice and snow from the right of way. An open competitive examination has been announced to be held in Bailey, Park county, July 11th, 12th and 13th for the position of forest ranger in the bureau of forestry, Department of Agriculture, to be conducted by an officer of the forestry reserve. A movement is on foot to run a cable railway to the top of Republican mountain at Georgetown and Silver Plume. As projected the new road will be a mile and a half long and will be completed in the spring of 1907. The view of the front range and the great plains from this point is one of the finest in the state. C. B. Cooper of the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company has selected a site for the main receiving station for the Cripple Creek district. It is at a point west of the American Eagles mine on Bull hill, at which point a receiving station will be established. The altitude of Bull hill is above 10,000 feet. Harry A. Mills, between twenty-five and twenty-eight years of age, a conductor on the High Line electric road, was killed at 8 o'clock on the morning of May 28th, at Midway, in the Cripple Creek district. His death was at first attributed to a shock of electricity, but later it became evident that he was caught between the cars. W. S. Ulrich, former postmaster at Manchester, Wyoming, lately employed by the street car company of Pueblo, Colorado, pleaded guilty in the United States court at Cheyenne to a charge of raising a receipt from $101.37 to $171.37, and was sentenced by Judge Riner to serve one year and one day in the state penitentiary. Through the efforts of the board of trade a beet sugar company has agreed to put in a factory at Durango if a guarantee can be obtained that 5,000 acres of beets will be planted. The beet sugar committee of the board of trade claims that a guarantee of 10,000 acres can be given and will at once start to make a canvass among the farmers to secure contracts. Colorado Springs and Denver are becoming cities of national homes. A national sanitarium for Swedes, and another for members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, as well as a third devoted to the order of B'nai B'rith, are located in Denver. Colorado Springs now has the International Printers' Home and the National Lodge of Odd Fellows is planning to build. The following changes have been announced in the salaries of Colorado postmasters: Increase — Amethyst, $1,400 to $1,500; La Junta, $2,200 to $2,300; Lamar, $1,700 to $1,800; Paonia and Steamboat Springs, $1,300 to $1,400; Silverton, 1,900 to $2,000.

The 1905 school census of the Greeley district has been completed and shows that 1,741 children between the ages of six and twenty-one reside in the Greeley district. There are 849 males and 892 females. This is an increase of 111 over the total last year. A very pretty little pamphlet has just been issued by Miss Katherine Craig and her assistants in the office of superintendent of public instruction, for the use of the children of the public schools in observing Flag Day. June 16th is the day set apart by the governor's proclamation. A few pages in the front portion of the publication are devoted to Memorial Day. PAID PENALTY FOR HASTE. Messenger Boy's Speed Resulted In Spectacular Tumble. A district messenger boy emerged from a big office building on Nassau street and to the amazement of passersby, began to run. He had not gone far when his foot caught in some obstruction and he fell. It was not the ordinary fall. It was a picturesque, acrobatic performance. He landed on his stomach with hands and legs outstretched. It had just stopped raining and the asphalt was slippery. In addition, there is quite a down grade at Cedar street, where the sudden drop of mercury took place. So when he struck the roadway he kept on going tobogan fashion, for a foot or two, his hands and feet being used as brakes. When the headway finally was checked, the messenger boy arose, slowly and sadly. His once natty blue uniform was a finished study black from collar to the ends of his trousers. There was some bar, off his hands and a gash in one knee of his trousers seemed to open its dumb mouth to protest against such treatment. "That's what I get fer runnin'." said the boy sadly, as he entered a convenient hallway to cleanse himself with a "latest edition" handed to him by a sympathetic observer. A Memorial Day Memory. The sentry challenged at the open gate Who passed him by, because the hour was late: "Halt! Who goes there?" "A friend." "All's well." "A friend, old mate." A friend's farew- ward. And I had passed the gate. And then the long last notes were shed, And shrilly clarion's echoes dead; And sounded sadly as I stood without Those last sad notes of all: "Lights out." "Lights out." Farewell, companions. We have side by side. Watched the histry's lengthened shadows past us glide. And worn the blue, and laughed at pain, And many a year has died. And toll and hardship have we borne, And all the echoes answering round Have hidden you to sleep: "Lights out." "Lights out." And never more for me the bay'net's flash. The trumpet's summons. Oh, the crum- bling ash Of life is hope's fruition; fall The fabric of our lives and they all The fabrics of our lives decay, And change unseen, and melt away— Aye, perish like the accents of a call, Like martial warnings from Life's grim Like those last notes of all: "Lights out." - John R. Rathom. - John R. Rathom. Cost of Railway Mail Service. Americans pay more for transportation of mail than all the other peoples of the world combined. In the last year for which comparative figures are available (1901) it cost us $38,500,000 for railroad transportation of mail alone. All the other countries in the world paid for transportation by all means only $37,000,000, or $1,500,000 less than we alone paid. Freight and passenger rates have gone down. They are cheaper here than abroad; express companies pay the railroads about half the rates they charge the government, and yet the postoffice department continues to pay for the transportation of mail just as much as it paid thirty years ago, while all other transportation rates have greatly decreased in that time. —Public Opinion. A citizen who is intimately acquainted with George B. McClellan, mayor of New York, declares that he has not a nerve in his being. "I have seen him in some close quarters, but have never seen him change color or appear the least concerned," he adds. "He may have wounds to nurse and nurses them, but if he does he goes into a back room to do it. Just once since he has been in office has he quailed at any proposed ordeal. The health commissioner wanted him to take a ride in a new model ambulance, but the mayor declined, saying he was afraid. 'But there is no danger.' 'No danger.' sald the mayor. 'I guess you don't know about the jokemakers of the American press? Excuse me.'"

Since the inauguration of May thirtieth by the great war hero, General John A. Logan, as a day to commerate the brave men who sacrificed their lives on the battle field that this country might be one of liberty and freedom, that day has been annually observed for the purpose for weich it was intended, and while it is a day that brings sad rememberances to the war veterans, whose comrades were slaughtered on the field of battle that liberty might be enjoyed under the stars and stripes and that the black man might enjoy the fundamentals of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, it is a day that all take pride in observing by the decoration of graves of the departed ones. No people are more loyal to that day than the Negro, for he too, richened the American soil with his blood that this country might be governed under one flag and that four millions of black people might be free to enjoy the rights of a man and an American citizen; and before the sun had hid itself behind the great Rockies last Tuesday, the patriotic citizens had fulfilled their duties in commerating this historical day. BUSINESS LEAGUE. The organization of the Colored Negro Business Men's League in Denver this week, and the various addresses and papers by the several delegates, furnished indications of some very good conditions steadily growing up to the benefit of the colored people—conditions that make the outlook for the race more hopeful than it otherwise would be. Encouragement of industrial and mercantile enterprises is the door by which the race is going to reach higher conditions for which it is striving. Industrial independence is a step in our progress which is quite over-due. It is interesting to compute the amount of business which the colored population of the average city creates by the mere fact and force of aggregated numbers. Take Denver for instance. If we have a colored population of ten thousand, we spend at a lowest estimate, two thousand dollars every day for the mere expense of living. This aggregates over seven hundred thousand dollars every year, and it is very probable the year's expense reaches over a round million dollars earned and spent by our people right here. If we could create a business channel of our own in which one quarter of this money would be spent, we would gradually place ourselves upon an equal footing with the ordinary white business man, and we would have the pleasure of seeing the wealth, responsibility and respectability of the race materially increased. A mere community of numbers among other people is always the natural and unfailing source of business, which leads to aggregate wealth and power. What other people accomplish from force of numbers alone, we ought also accomplish. And there must be a way to reach the result required. There is no doubt it lies in the practice of wisdom and frugality. The exact manner in which special race enterprises may be established and successfully conducted, probably depends upon the conditions existing in each community, and to arrive at an idea of what the requirements are, there must either be some shrewd individual planning or resort to counsel as a business men's league or a similar organization make possible. It is for each community, however, to put the idea into practical working force. The corporations and the individual investor are equally welcome and pregnant forces in the conditions involved, but either must exercise a degree of wisdom in management not at all common or easily found. We do not advocate the promiscuous rushing into business efforts which some Negroes are prone to undertake. It takes a wise and cool head or else a great deal of blind luck to bring about the results which we are writing about. But those results are possible and there should be no cessation of effort until they are thoroughly realized. THE STRIKE. The teamsters strike is still on in Chicago and is causing no little amount of loss, not only to the strikers but to the business and commercial world. Labor difficulties will continue to menace capital and aggregate commonwealths as long as the arrogance of labor union cannot be met by free and unprejudiced labor conditions outside of their ranks. It would matter little to the employers of labor in the United States how or where the representatives of the unions might attempt to dictate investments if there were a well established and well known alternative to employ the surplus, nonunion labor immediately upon the attempt of unions to overstep their legitimate objects. Non-union labor has just as many equitable rights as union labor and is far more extensive and consequently more needy. To make it amenable to the dictates of the unions to which it does not belong and from which it derives no benefit is a form of tyranny peculiar to labor conditions in the United States, and against which public sentiment and public status might be justly tramed. Negro labor is the most available to bring about an equitable and decisive adjustment of labor difficulties, for the reason that it is entirely American, necessarily non-union and at the same time, high-class in its character and reasonably high priced in its demands. The proposition to substitute Negro labor for dissatisfied white labor always raises a riotous feeling, but not alone because the latter thinks that prevailing prices are unjust. Race prejudice plays a bitter part in such affairs, and helps some men to overlook the base injustice of labor dictations as it eminates from the unions. The Negro is a laborer and seeks employment lawfully. He has no natural antipathy for any other class of labor, and as a rule, he protects his own material interests by refusing to join in strikes or other conspiracies to dictate prices. He can furnish any class of labor—skilled or common. He must be allowed a place in the labor field, for his presence absolutely demands it, and while he is unobtrusive, reliable and amenable to law, it rests only with Investors of capital who mean to be fair and honest with labor, and who expect like treatment in return, to say how soon employment shall be scattered among all classes without regard for the prejudice of race or color or the arrogance of the few who unite to defeat the many. Life-Savers and Saints Caught Grizzly With Lariat Would Spend Her Wealth Would Spend Her Wealth Fooled the Game Wardens The Psalm of Death The Church of God, Saints of Christ, which has an edifice on Barclay street, Newark, holds as one of its tenets the necessity of immersion. Yesterday 100 of the congregation; headed by Elder Anderson, says the New York Globe, journeyed over to Greenville to witness the baptism of Mrs. Charles Jackson of Boston, who had come on from that city for the ceremony. The saints choose Newark Bay as a suitable place. On Saturday night the lifesavers stationed there, who are all volunteers, and the sons of rich families, held a ball at the station. The dance went on considerably after midnight, and when the guests had gone the members continued enthusiastically to celebrate. On their clouded vision the next morning fell the sight of a body of white robed persons singing hymns, who were apparently about to enter the water. Capt. Stephen Herig summoned his crew to quarters. "We must save them," he said. "Certainly," responded the crew. "Come nearer to the saving flood," sung the company, as Elder Anderson and the novitiate walked into the water. Every one knows that Newark bay at this point is not more than five feet deep anywhere, but the life savers, anxious to do their whole duty, rushed out of the station, plunged into the water and drew the elder and woman ashore. Then they buckled life preservers about their bodies. Elder Anderson protested. Caught Grizz "In the winter of 1893," said Tim Kinney, a ranchman of Rock Springs, Wyoming, "the bears in Bitter Creek were surely a nuisance to the stockmen. I lost so many calves that I got fighting mad, and declared war on the four-footed despoilers. "One day my foreman and I were out rounding up a herd of beeves when in a low, marshy spot we came across one of the biggest bears I ever saw. Unluckily, we didn't have either rifle or revolver, but as I looked at the beast and thought of my dead calves my dander get up, and it occurred to me that we might throw our lariats over him and hold him until some way of executing the death penalty could be found. "We thought it was a picnic, and so it was, as far as throwing a rope over Mr. Bear was concerned. My man got his rope over the enemy's neck and I got him around one leg. It looked as though we had him. Dismounting, I made the end of my lariat fast to the Would Spend Before the afternoon ended every man, woman and child in the place had dropped in at Emma Eliza Pratt's, for the story had spread rapidly through the little village that the death of a cousin in the city had made the lonely, elderly spinster rich beyond imagination. Through it all Emma Eliza herself had been surprisingly mute and outwardly unmoved—a study and an enigma to the lawyer who had arrived on the noon train, bringing the great news. This gentleman promptly accepted Emma Eliza's invitation to tea, being not at all unwilling to observe further this curious little woman of rural birth and limited experience as her mind began to grasp the fact of her new fortune. "What will she do with it?" he speculated. "Will it be a cat-and-dog hospital or an orphan asylum? Will she embellish her native village with dubious works of art? Will she build herself an absurdly big and preten- Fooled the G The following story illustrates the ready wit of an old New Englander: The report that Eli Green, a farmer residing in Shelburne, N. H., had killed deer out of season, reached the ears of the game warden of that section. About the same time a sporting party, who called themselves the Appalachian Club, passed through Shelburne en route to the White mountains, on snowshoes. The game wardens thought to take the wary Eli by surprise, so, arming themselves with a quart of the best whisky to be had, and disguised as a sporting party, they crossed the fields on snowshoes, and reaching the house, introduced themselves as the Appalachian Club, told Green what a pleasant trip they had, and, producing the bottle, offered him a drink. The delighted farmer partook freely. The poet lay on his sleepless bed, gray were his locks, and sere; "God! Let me sing one song," he said, "that the world shall pause to hear." Then there rang aloud through the anguished air the cry of a breaking heart. The wall of a spirit's last despair, that rent the echoes apart. 'Twas a song of agony, flerce and weird, that ne'r a found voice before. And the worldling shuddered, the earth-worn feared, as its tones wuxed more and more. "It's our duty,' observed Capt Herig, solemnly. "We cannot permit you to risk your lives here." The rest of the company submitted to having the cumbersome preservers buckled about them and the elder and the woman walked into the cold water. This time, however, the elder began to float high, after having walked a little way into the water. By great exertion he managed to regain his footing. The woman had by this time floated out beyond his reach and was drifting rapidly out into the bay. The gallant life savers manned their boats and went out after her, capturing her by means of a boathook and towing her back to the anxious elder. When he tried to immerse her the life preserver being about the center of her body, he had considerable difficulty and the life savers rushed in and hid their eyes. The eider was perspiring in spite of the cold as he tried to stop the rotary motion of the woman from Boston. Finally he managed to seize one of her feet. The life savers again came to the rescue with sympathetic words. Then he dragged the woman out and the company cast off their preservers and went away saying hard things about the life savers. "Well," said Johnny Gibson, regretfully, "our intentions were all right." ly With Lariat stump of a tree, but the foreman stayed on his pony. Grabbing a huge rock, I got quite close to the brute and dealt him a terrible blow in the forehead. With a howl of rage he gave a mighty lunge that broke the rope from the tree and started after me. "But for the tremendous efforts of my companion, who still maintained his hold, I would have been caught and killed before I could have been able to reach my pony. As it was, the shave was extremely close, and the bear was right at my heels as I got in the saddle. All this time the foreman was tugging and hauling manfully, and if he hadn't been both strong and skilful I'd have never lived to tell this yarn. In a few minutes I managed to get another piece of rope, and this time old Silver Top was unable to break his fastening. Both of us then assaulted him with stones and beat him into insensibility before administering the coup de grace with hunting knife."—Washington Post. tions 'residence,' or will she move to the city, go abroad, and become at last—an art collector?" The lawyer enjoyed an inward laugh as he watched the queer little figure at that moment engaged in placing a plate of hot biscuits on the table, the inexpressive eyes and pursed-up lips as sphinxlike as ever. At tea he set himself to the task of stimulating his hostess' imagination to the point of grasping some of the possibilities unfolding before the possessor of such great wealth. And his exertions brought their reward, for he was privileged finally to look into the heart of Emma Eliza. "All my life," she said, at last, cutting off each word in turn with her customary precision. "I've wanted some sidecombs with yellow glass beads onto 'em, and now"—a reckless gleam relieved the dull of her eyes—"I'm goin' to have a pair, if I have to go as high as fifty cents!"—New York Press. ame Wardens and soon was in a very confidential mood. The visitors then added that they lacked but one thing to make a success of the trip. "We haven't had any deer meat," they said. "Of course, it's out of season, but couldn't you get us some? No one will know it up here." At first he said he couldn't, but money persuaded him, and taking a shovel, he started in the direction of the barn, and soon returned, dragging a large piece of meat. But just then his wife called from the house: "Why, Eli, what yer doin? What yer diggin' up the pork for?" "Yer jest mind yer bizness, will yer; that's deer meat, I tell yer. Why, now, ef 'taint I never see no deer meat. I give $4.50 for the air pig, and give him ten bags of grain, at $1 a bag. Now, ef that ain't dear meat, where you'll find it I dunno." n of Death All that of woe, mankind may know, the death knell of the soul. With naught to battle the wintry cold save the flame of the seraph fire. It ceased at last, as the autumn blast sinks when the sun hath set. To the silent shore had the singer pas'd oer, but the song, it fingers yet! 'Tis heard oer the mountain. 'tis heard oer the sea, the chill wind wafts it along. Wherever our earth has misery, that drear, dread death born song! —H. Tudor, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior, Land Office at Denver, Colorado, 1905.

Grandfather's Odd Habit Had Embarrassing Consequences. "My grandfather had one curious habit," sald a Virginia woman in the Washington Post. "He chewed the rag constantly. I don't mean it in a figurative sense, either. I mean it literally. When he was about 50 the doctors persuaded him to give up the use of tobacco, and he used a rag instead. Grandmother used to cut worn-out tablecloths into little squares and lay them in a drawer ready for grandfather. When he was going out anywhere, she tucked several into his waistcoat pocket. He chewed from daylight till dark. Once grandfather and I went to the funeral of a great man here in town. Grandmother was ill that day, and forgot to tell me about the rags. We sat well up toward the front; and grandfather was no sooner seated than he put two fingers into his waistcoat pockets. No rag. He searched through all his pockets, one after another. No rag anywhere. He began to wriggle about in his seat uneasily. He was in misery with nothing to work his jaws on. The service went on, and when the choir rose to sing, I saw one of grandfather's hands disappear under his waistcoat. His eyes were fixed on the choir and he looked determined. There was a fortissmo burst of music—and then in the instant of absolute stillness which followed, everybody heard something tear. Grandfather turned a vivid purple, but when he raised his head after the prayer a little later, his jaws were at work." BEECHER'S COMMENT ON WORK. Knew What Came of Delivery of Sermon Without Preparation. One Saturday afternoon, while Mr. Beecher, stripped to his shirt sleeves, his thin, grayish hair all a-tumble about his noble head, was deeply absorbed in the peroration of his sermon, a minister came in upon him, and, in a tone rather derisive, said: "Mr. Beecher, what makes you work so hard? I don't do it. I read, visit, and have a good time generally through the week; then on Sunday I go into my pulpit, open up the bible, find a text and go ahead." Mr. Beecher gave him one of those quizzical looks of his, and said: "What do you do when you run out of ideas?" "Oh, I just holler." "For Providence to fill the vacuum, I suppose," replied Mr. Beecher. Persons Who "Never Have Time." Here and there and everywhere are to be found the man and the woman who "never have time." They would read good books if they had the time. They would visit the sick and the needy, but somehow they have not time. They would call on their friends, cultivate good fellowship and add to the comforts of living, but they have so many other things to do that they cannot find time for this. They deceive themselves and think they are deceiving others. They are not. "Never have the time" simply because they do not take the time. Doers always have the time to do. Busy men always find time to complete their tasks.—Louisville Courier Journal. Work of the Great Needles. The great magnetic needles at the Royal observatory, Greenwich, are suspended by a silken skein six feet long, hung in an utterly dark cellar under the "magnet-house." The word "needle" hardly describes their appearance, as they are rectangular steel bars two feet long, one and a half inches broad and a quarter of an inch thick. They are further protected from all light and heat by double boxing and in this tomblike darkness their slow, quiet movements register the tremendous force of the earth's magnetism and the influences of the sun through an intervening distance of 93,000,000 miles. Jefferson and Curio Dealer. The late Joseph Jefferson was a virtuoso of note. While here in the '70's, delighting London audiences with his great impersonation of "Rip Van Winkle," he was a dally visitor to curiosity shops and bought whatever took his fancy. At the time, it was remarked that Mr. Jefferson was up to all the tricks of the curio trade and could not be induced to purchase an article that was anything but genuine. To a sharp practitioner of a dealer he would smilingly remark: "You'd better show that to another collector from America!"—Pall Mall Gwlette. When All Is Done. When all is done I want to lie Severely in bed. I cry Of any wronged thing may be heard. Where leaves may be but gently stirred By friendly breezes passing by. Let me repose far from the high, Cold towers where their pennants fly Who are by vain ambition spurred, When all is done. O, sweet their rest must be who die At present. I am afraid Would sleep where hate is not incurred And where the gleefful parent bird With song whites the earth and sky. Influence of Radium. In experiments to determine the change of conductivity of metals under the influence of radium a French scientist has shown that iron, steel, brass, bismuth, german silver, and platinum shows an increase in resistance. His theory is that the beta rays of radium, impinging on the respective metals, are changed into heat under which the conductivity diminishes according to the ordinary heat law.

Last Tuesday evening May 30th, the 5th anniversary of Damon Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias, was celebrated with a reception at Bourner's hall where about two hundred people responded to invitations to do honor to the event. Besides the musical numbers on the program addresses were made by J. W. Leftridge, Rev. Chas. Douglas, Col. W. A. Greenleaf, C. A. Franklin and Grand Chancellor W. R. Hardy of Pueblo, all of whom had something good to say of this enterprising organization. At the close of the program the grand march took place and after promenading the hall, the doors leading to the banquet room was opened and the guests filed in and were seated to the table which was exquisitely decorated with flowers and ladened with a menu that has not been excelled by no like occasion of any organization in the city. Eulogizing words were heraled from everybody for the elaborate manner in which they were entertained. New Business Venture. Among the recent business ventures in Denver is the Ideal Pharmacy, which has been opened at 2100 Arapahoe street by Dr. E. Langston Faulkner and Dr. W. J. Cottrell, two of the most progressive and highly respected men in the West. The store is fitted up with everything that goes to make up an up-to-date drug store. Their large soda fountain is kept stocked with all flavors of soft drinks. The doctors have their offices and dental parlors over the store thus making everything quite convenient. The people of Denver are very proud of the new venture and will take pride in giving it a substantial report. Dr. Cottrell is a graduate of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute of Hampton, Va., and of Howard University, Washington, D.C., and since his arrival in Denver a few years ago, he has built up a practice that only the best could hope to do; in fact he is kept so busy he has hardly a moment that he can call his own. As a surgeon he has proved to be the most successful of any in Denver. Of the many delicate surgical operations that has been performed by him he has yet his first case to lose. Dr. Faulkner is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute of Tuskegee, Ala., and also of the Meharia Medical College of Nashville, Tenn., and while he has only been here but a few months, he too has proven to be a man of great worth to the community, and nothing commends this fact better than the high esteem in which he is held and the lucrative practice which he has gained. We wish the new firm unlimited success. Local Notices. Hair cut 15 cents, 1847 Blake street Nicely furnished rooms for rent; all modern improvement at 1717 Pennsyl vania avenue.

Some of the farmers near Santa Rosa, Cal., are experimenting with tea growing and their efforts seem to be meeting with success. It is said that there is no reason why tea should not be grown in some sections of this country, though the earlier South Carolina experiment is not known to be making great headway. Error of Taxidermist. The little boy and his father were gazing at the specimens of stuffed birds and animals in the taxidermist's window. Among them was a number of game birds mounted on oak panels, hanging head down as though depending from a nail. They were supposed to represent game that had been shot for the table, such as a brace of woodcock, snipe or bob whites. "Father," remarked the little boy, "those birds are not dead. Look at their eyes!" Herein the little boy was more observant than the taxidermist, who had put bright, lifellike wax eyes into birds that were supposed to be dead. The fault is observable in many pieces of this kind that have been mounted to grace the walls of a dining room a hall. Mansfield's Counter Offer. Most playwrights and play agents consider themselves fortunate if they succeed in getting Richard Mansfield to examine their wares. Not so the agent of the French dramatist, Jean Richepin. She sent Mr. Mansfield a note a few days ago. "I will let you read Richepin's play, 'Don Quixote,'" it read, "for $500, and I will give you a two weeks' option on it for $2,000." The actor was so astounded at this audacious offer that he began to rub his eyes to find out if he was awake or asleep. When he gathered himself together he reached for pen and paper. And this is what he wrote to the play agent: "Dear Madam—I will consent to read 'Don Quixote' for $5,000—cash in advance. Yours truly, Richard Mansfield."—New York Times. Aunty Not in Leading Role. Denman Thompson is beloved by the young members of his company especially the little tots that figure in the scenes of "The Old Homestead." During a recent New York engagement he wanted to compliment a little fairy on her work and said: "You've done so well I'd like to give you a big kiss." "Oh, Mister Thompson," answered the fairy, horrified, "you mustn't really. Aunty doesn't believe in kissing." "Never mind, dear," replied Mr. Thompson, "I'm not kissing aunty." And the little fairy got the smack.—New York Times. Automobiles in the Desert. In the matter of Soudanese communications much interest is taken in the expected arrival at Khartoum of experimental motor cars for passenger service in the desert. The difficulty has been to find motors which are capable of traveling over the sand, but it is hoped that the recent experiments will lead to a solution of this problem.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES. Making railroad rates is like playing a game of checkers or chess. Communities to be benefitted, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every possible move is studied for its effect on the general result by skilled traffic managers. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great manufacturing interest, of an agricultural community. Railroads strive to build up all these so that each may have an equal chance in the sharp competition of business. So sensitive to this rivalry are the railroads that in order to build up business along their lines they frequently allow the shipper to practically dictate rates. Rate making has been a matter of development; of mutual concessions for mutual benefit. That is why the railroads of the United States have voluntarily made freight rates so much lower in this country than they are on the government-owned and operated railways of Europe and Australia that they are now the lowest transportation rates in the world.

PORTLAND FAIR OPEN LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION Vice President Fairbanke Makes Principal Address at Portland—President Roosevelt at Washington Touches Electric Button and Starts Machinery. Portland, Ore., June 2.—With the gentle touch of a hand upon a golden telegraph instrument President Roosevelt, from the White House, yesterday gave the signal which formally opened to the world the Lewis and Clark centennial exposition, a monument to the memories of Captains Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, the pioneers who, 100 years ago, blazed the trail which opened up to the world the "old Oregon country." A more auspicious day for the opening of the exposition could not have been desired. The literary exercises which preceded the formal opening of the fair were of extraordinary excellence. The speakers were Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker Joseph Cannon of the House of Representatives, Senator Clark of Wyoming, Congressman Tawney of Minnesota, Mr. H. A. Taylor, assistant secretary of the Treasury Department, Governor Chamberlain of Oregon and Mayor Williams of Portland. When President Goode of the Lewis and Clark Exposition took his position on the speakers' stand to announce that the ceremonies were about to commence he was greeted with terrific applause from tens of thousands of people, and similar demonstrations of a happy people greeted all the speakers of the day, perhaps the greatest enthusiasm being aroused by the appearance of Mayor Williams and Speaker Cannon upon the rostrum. The program was carried out with but few changes in the original idea. A feature which was looked forward to with great expectancy, the playing of "America" upon the chiming bells in the government building, was unavoidably omitted, the electric apparatus by which the chimes are operated being found out of order at the crucial moment. When all was in readiness for President Roosevelt to give the long-awaited signal from the White House President Goode of the exposition forwarded him the following telegram: "President Goode of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition extends greetings to the President of the United States, and has the honor to announce that the exposition management awaits President Roosevelt's pleasure in transmitting the electrical energy to ring the chimes in the United States government building and start the machinery of this exposition." Almost instantly, through thousands of miles of wire, flashed the single "click" which formally opened the exposition, releasing hundreds of flags to the breeze and setting the machinery in motion. Mr. Goode received the following telegram from President Roosevelt: "I congratulate you and those associated with you in commemorating this occasion. I hope and trust that the great enterprise you have undertaken will be a fitting memorial to the sturdy explorers, who, in the service of their country, faced the perilis and hardships of a vast unknown territory. I send greeting to the representatives of foreign countries who are co-operating with us in fittingly celebrating the 100th anniversary of this event, which means so much for the expansion of our country in the far Northwest. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." TWO MEN RESCUED. Taylor and Groff Taken Out of Gunnison Son Tunnel Alive. Denver, June 2.—When the body of Herman Okerman of Denver was discovered in the Gunnison tunnel yesterday the number of known dead as a result of the disaster was increased to six. Ben Taylor and Fred Groff were rescued yesterday, and it is stated that both will recover. The bodies of four of the victims are buried beneath the cave which killed them, those of Steele and Okerman being the only ones taken out. The complete list of the victims is as follows: Floyd Woodruff of Montrose, single, twenty-two years of age. He was engaged to Miss Mabel Olds, and she is hysterical since she has learned of her lover's death. H. C. Steele of Montrose, formerly a physician of Ruggles, Pennsylvania. Married, thirty-two years of age, and leaves a widow and two children. Edward Shuler, single, about thirty years of age. His home was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where his relatives live. Charles Hornhart of Montrose, thirty years of age, single. James Cassidy of Montrose, single, about thirty years of age. Came from Silverton a month ago. Herman Okerman of Denver, married, about thirty-five years of age. Leaves a widow and two children. President Going South. Washington, June 2. — President Roosevelt will start on his trip through the South next autumn, the night of October 17th. The extraordinary session of Congress, which it is the present intention of President Roosevelt to call, will not begin until after the November elections. Killed by Lightning. Denver, June 2.—A Republican special from Trinidad last night says: James Walsh, a Colorado & Southern freight conductor, was instantly killed by lightning about 3 o'clock this afternoon. Walsh slept at his hotel until 1:30 this afternoon, when he went to the yard office to learn when his train would leave. On the way back to the hotel, while a severe electrical storm was raging, and when he was within 200 yards of the hotel, a bolt of lightning struck him on the back of the head, ranging downward, tearing the clothes from his body, killing him instantly. ATAXIA IS CURABLE REPORTED CURE STANDS TEST ON FULL INVESTIGATION. A Former Victim of Locomotor Atax Now Free from Suffering and Actively at Work. "Yes," said Mr. Watkinson to a reporter, "it is true that I have been cured of ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "Are you sure you had locomotor ataxia?" "The doctors themselves told me so. Besides I recognized the symptoms." "What were they?" "Well, the first indications were a stiffness about the knee joints that came on about four years ago. A few months after that appeared, my walk got to be uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence in my power to control the movements of my legs. Once, when I was in the cellar, I started to pick up two scuffles of coal, and my legs gave way suddenly, and I tumbled all in a heap in a basket. I couldn't close my eyes and keep my balance to save my life. Then I had fearful pains over my whole body and I lost control over my kidneys and my bowels." "How about your general health?" "Sometimes I was so weak that I had to keep my bed and my weight fell off twenty pounds. Things looked pretty bad for me until I ran across a young man who had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and who advised me to try them." "Did these pills help you right away?" "I didn't see much improvement until I had used six boxes. The first benefit I noticed was a better circulation and a picking up in strength and weight. I gradually got confidence in my ability to direct the movements of my legs, and in the course of seven or eight months all the troubles had disappeared." "Do you regard yourself as entirely well now?" "I do the work of a well man at any rate. I can close my eyes and stand up all right and move about the same as other men. The pains are all gone except an occasional twitch in the calves of my legs." Mr. James H. Watkins resides at No. 72 Westerlo street, Albany, N.Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be obtained at any drug store. They should be used as soon as the first signs of locomotor ataxia appear in a peculiar numbness of the feet. Talk isn't so cheap when money talks, "What a pity real detectives are not as brilliant as story-book detectives," it wouldn't be hard to find the police officer, "They'd all resign from the force and write novels." ULCERS FOR 30 YEARS Painful Eruptions From Knees to Feet Seemed Incurable—Cuticura Ends Misery. Another of those remarkable cures my Cuticura, after doctors and all else had failed, is testified to by Mr. M. C. Moss of Gainesville, Texas, in the following letter: "For over thirty years I suffered from painful ulcers and an eruption from my knees to feet, and could find neither doctors nor medicine to help me, until I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, which cured me in six months. They helped me the very first time I used them, and I am glad to write this so that others suffering as I did may be saved from misery."

TOGO MAKES REPORT CAPTURED SHIPS REACH JAPAN Japan's Losses Very Small—None of Her Warships or Destroyers Sunk —Emperor Commends Togo and Fleet. Tokio, June 1.—Admiral Togo reports that all the captured ships sent to Sasebo have arrived and that their crews have been landed. Admiral Rojevtvensky has entered the naval hospital. The report that Vice Admiral Enquist was captured proves to have been a mistake, caused by the misinterpretation of wireless telegraphs. Admiral Togo also reports that two Russian hospital ships, which accompanied Admiral Roijestvensky's fleet into the straits of Korea May 27th, were suspected of a violation of The Hague convention and besides, owing to the greatest necessity for strategic protection, he detained them temporarily and conveyed them to Sasebo May 28th. By direction of the Emperor, Admiral Ito has instructed Admiral Togo to allow Vice Admiral Nebigatoff and other Russian officers to transmit a report of the battle and a list of casualties and prisoners to the Emperor of Russia. The officers of the battleships Orel and Nikolai and the coast defense ships Admiral Apraxine Seniavin, are to be permitted to return to Russia upon giving their paroles. The damage to the Japanese fleet, Admiral Togo says, was slight. Only three torpedo boats were lost. No warships or destroyers were sunk. The Emperor has issued the following rescript to Admiral Togo: "Our combined fleet encountered the enemy's fleet in the Korean strait and after several days' desperate battle annihilated it, accomplishing an unprecedented defeat. "We are glad that by the loyalty of our officers and men we have been enabled to respond to the spirit of our ancestors. "Though the war be long, we hope that you will be loyal and brave and secure a successful result." To the navy the Emperor issued the following rescript: "Our navy with the best strategy and greatest courage annihilated the enemy's squadron and answered our hope. We appreciate deeply your splendid success." FIVE ALREADY DEAD. Reports of the Terrible Disaster in Gunnison Tunnel. Denver, June 1.—Dispatches from Montrose show that five men are already dead as a result of the cave-in in the Gunnison tunnel Tuesday morning. The dead are Charles Hornhart, James Cassidy, Floyd Woodruff, Ed Shuler, H. C. Steele. Ben Taylor and Fred Gross are in the tunnel and still alive. It is believed that they will be rescued, as the rescuers are close to them. Nineteen men were rescued yesterday, when the shaft was completed so that rescuers could enter the tunnel, and only two have been injured by the cave, neither seriously. At 10:30 yesterday morning the men sinking the temporary shaft from the surface reached the roof of the timbered portion of the tunnel, where the men were imprisoned. Upon making an opening into the main tunnel, nineteen men were rescued, all alive, and but two of them injured. They were: Ed Fellin, J. D. Connor, A. Fator, A. J. Meyer, Charles Smithley, Louis Grandall, D. Mangoni, Perry Groudel, James Latham, John Latham, D. Bart, Albert Ogrem, Oscar Ogram, Conrad Hj尔mercka, W. B. Bloomingkemper, John Forest, Fred Lee, Charles Palmgreen, Theodore Grasser. Grasser is the foreman of the timber crew. Riot at School for Girls Denver, June 1.—Dish smashing, furniture wrecking, screaming, the singing of songs interspersed by curses and shouts of defiance and attempts to burn one of the buildings, were the features of the third big riot which took place last night at the State Home and Industrial School for Girls, says the Republican this morning. Several young girls got away. They climbed a high fence which surrounds the institution and fled towards the city, and five of them were located later by a "trusty" girl on horseback. Another was captured in Denver by the police this morning. The girls who remained did all the damage they could to the cottage during the four hours which the riot lasted. Annie McCollister, eighteen; Ellen Baldwin, seventeen; Salana Timberlin, sixteen; Maude Woods, eighteen; Effe Robertson, eighteen; Bertha Harper, sixteen, were reported to be the ringleaders, who escaped. Five of these later were captured and Emma Brown, whose name was not in the list of escaped girls, were picked up by the Denver police. It is believed others escaped which were not reported. At a late hour the situation was under control. The trouble would not have ended for a day but for the assistance rendered the school authorities by officers of Jefferson county and farmers of the surrounding neighborhood. Even then it was no easy task, as the men who came to the rescue were forced to overpower no less than a score of little vixens, who were determined to make all the noise and break all the things they could. Denies Loss of Gromoboi. St. Petersburg, June 1.—The admiralty denies the report telegraphed to the London Express that the cruiser Gromobol of the Vladivostok squadron had been sunk with nearly 800 men on board. A message from Captain Broussikoff, her commander, was received last night, which, it is believed, was sent to Vladivostok by wireless telegraph. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who was reported to be on board the Gromobol, is in St. Petersburg. The Gromobol sailed out of Vladivostok Saturday, as soon as Admiral Rojestvensky was reported to have arrived in the Straits of Korea, but the admiralty declines to say whether the Gromobol was engaged. Backache, "The Blues' Both Symptoms of Organic Derangement Women--Thousands of Sufferers Find Relief. Mrs. J. G. Holmes Emma Cotrely Ask Mrs. Pinkham's Advice-A Woman Best Understands a Woman's Ills. Say Plainly to Your Grocer That you want LION COFFEE always, and he, being a square man, will not try to sell you anything else. You may not care for our opinion, but How often do we hear women say: "It seems as though my back will break," or "Don't speak to me, I am all out of sorts?" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention. Backache and "the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally successful remedy for woman's ills known to medicine. The following letters from Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrelly are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pinkham has received this year from those whom she has relieved. Surely such testimony is convincing. Mrs.J.G. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I have suffered everything with backache and womb trouble—I let the trouble run on until my system was in such a condition that I was unable to be about, and then it was commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If I had only known how much suffering I would have saved, I should have been sooner—for a few weeks' treatment made me well and strong. My backaches and headaches are all gone and I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods, whereas before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain." Mrs. Emma Cotrelly, 109 East 12th Street, New York City, writes: Ask Mrs. Pinkham's Advice—A Woman Say Plainly to That you want LION C being a square man, will thing else.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. When I commenced taking the Compound I suffered everything with backaches, headaches, menstrual and ovarian troubles. I am completely cured, and enjoy the best of health, and I owe it all to you." When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all gone" and "want-to-be-leaf-alone" feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute. FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN.

For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every make-shift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect.

He paddles doughnuts, and a hymn goes with every one. Certainly, he ought to be allowed to sing as much as he and his customers like. For his object is to evangelize the community, and when he is about to deliver a doughnut he delivers a short talk on the need of salvation and a stanza of some uplifting verse. It should go without saying that he is a conscientious baker and gives full weight and plenty of sugar; that he does not fry his products in rancid lard, or dust it with whitewash, or put the fresh ones on top when he is to sell them by the peck, leaving the gnarly nubbins at the bottom of the measure. Therefore, he predisposes the recipient to thankfulness and sanctity, and body on his heart has any objection to mixing dough and religion. It might be well if the custom could extend itself. If Mr. Rockefeller would only sing hymns as he draws oil for his customers, instead of preserving the hymns for Sunday, and if Mr. Carnegie would accompany the hammering of plates with gleeful hallelujahs, there might be less feeling against the trusts, and if the walking delegate would go about his work with a psalm instead of a jimmy and a blackjack we could almost like him. If plecy can be associated with doughnuts, once the symbol of dyspepsia, what can't it associate with?—Brooklyn Eagle. Over 30,000,000 Published. An Oakland lady who has a taste for good literature, tells what a happy time she had on "The Road to Wellville." She says: "I drank coffee freely for eight years before I began to perceive any evil effects from it. Then I noticed that I was becoming very nervous, and that my stomach was gradually losing the power to properly assimilate my food. In time I got so weak that I dreaded to leave the house—for no reason whatever but because of the miserable condition of my nerves and stomach. I attributed the trouble to anything in the world but coffee, of course. I dosed myself with medicines, which in the end would leave me in a worse condition than at first. I was most wretched and discouraged—not 30 years old and feeling that life was a failure! "I had given up all hope of ever enjoying myself like other people, till one day I read the little book "The Road to Wellville." It opened my eyes, and taught me a lesson I shall never forget and cannot value too highly. I immediately quit the use of the old kind of coffee and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. I noticed the beginning of an improvement in the whole tone of my system, after only two days' use of the new drink, and in a very short time realized that I could go about like other people without the least return of the nervous dread that formerly gave me so much trouble. In fact my nervousness disappeared entirely and has never returned, although it is now a year that I have been drinking Postum Food Coffee. And my stomach is now like iron—nothing can upset it! "Last week, during the big Conclave in San Francisco, I was on the go day and night without the slightest fatigue; and as I stood in the immense crowd watching the great parade that lasted for hours, I thought to myself, 'This strength is what Postum Food Coffee has given me!'" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. The little book "The Road to Wellville" may be found in every pkg. BOMB AIMED AT KING BOMB AIMED AT KING MEANT TO KILL KING ALFONSO Anarchist Tries to Assassinate Young Spanish Sovereign in the Streets of Paris. Paris, June 1—An attempt to assassinate King Alfonso was made at midnight. As his majesty drove with President Loubet from a gala performance at the Grand opera house, a bomb was thrown by an anarchist and exploded with deadly effect near the royal carriage. As if by a miracle, both the King and President escaped uninjured, but fragments of the missile seriously injured five persons, killed or maimed a number of cavalry horses forming the escort and knocked out a child's eye. Intense excitement followed the incident. The King and President retained their presence of mind, his majesty sending back a member of his suite to make inquiries as to the condition of the wounded. The person who is believed to have thrown the bomb has been arrested, with two others who are thought to have been implicated in the plot. The force of the explosion was terrific and caused a derangement of the electric lights which were all extinguished, adding darkness to the scene of confusion. Women and children screamed and a panic was for a time threatened in the vast throng until the police succeeded in restoring order. MARGUERITE CODY DIES. Aunt of Buffalo Bill Found Dead in Her Room at Denver. Denver, June 1—Dead in a bare little room at 3010 Lawrence street, where she had passed her last days in poverty, Mrs. Marguerite Cody, aunt of "Buffalo Bill" Cody, was found Sunday morning by neighbors who had supposed her last illness to be nothing more than a temporary weakness. From one of the richest women in Colorado, Mrs. Cody, whose name became known all over America through her connection with an attempt to blackmail the estate of Jay Gould, had been so pinched by destitution that at the age of eighty-five she had been compelled to sell pins and little trinkets to keep from starvation. It was shortly after the death of Gould, when the multi-millionaire's estate was to be settled, that Mrs. Cody achieved notoriously that would have ended in her being sent to Sing Sing had not Helen Gould interfered. A Central City woman arranged with Mrs. Cody to palm herself off as the mother of a child of Gould. According to the evidence in the case Mrs. Cody was to support the claim of the other woman by evidence substantiating her acquaintance with the financier. The sum demanded was $50,000. Both women stuck to their stories. Mrs. Cody going to New York to fight the claim. Helen Gould, however, refused to compromise and the case went to the courts. There it was speedily thrown out and the two women were accused of conspiracy. The interference of Helen Gould saved them, however, and Mrs. Cody again returned to Denver. In recent years her mind seemed to have weakened regarding the Gould case and at the rare intervals she spoke of it it was in a way that showed that she was irrational on the subject. One of the first pioneers of Denver, Mrs. Cody achieved prominence in the city in many ways. She was a resident of Denver for more than forty-five years and at one time was reputed to be worth $200,000. Property in what is now the business portion was held by her. Reverses came, however, and one by one her possessions passed from her. For the past decade she has practically been penniless although she repeatedly refused to accept aid from relatives. Bonaparte to Succeed Morton. Washington, June 1. — President Roosevelt yesterday authorized the announcement that Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore would be appointed secretary of the navy to succeed Paul Morton, who earlier in the day stated he would retire July 1st to go to New York to take charge of the plans for the construction of the subway system for operation in connection with the surface lines. The President also authorized the statement that no other change in the personnel of the Cabinet was likely to take place soon. Secretary Shaw has already indicated his intention of retiring from the Cabinet. Rumors of Attorney General Moody's retirement have been published, but it is known to be his intention to remain in the Cabinet. To all except President Roosevelt's closest advisers the announcement of the selection of Mr. Bonaparte as the head of the navy came as a distinct surprise, although it has been determined on by the President for some time, in anticipation of Mr. Morton's retirement. Condemn Republican Party. Topeka, Kan., June 1.—The Equal Rights Society, a Kansas negro organization, at a mass meeting here last evening passed resolutions condemning the Republican party for the passage of the legislation for separate high schools at Kansas City, Kansas. An effort was made to include in the resolutions a criticism of Governor Hoch, but this was choked off by the more conservative delegates. Nick Chiles, a prominent politician, led the fight on Governor Hoch. Rev. W. H. Hudson of Atchison was re-elected president, and E. O. Wilson of Kansas City, Kansas, secretary. Western Passenger Men. Chicago, June 1.—The western passenger rate war bids fair to extend beyond the Missouri river territory. It was stated to-day that one of the lines is insisting that the $5 rate from Oniaha to Chicago will make it necessary to reduce the round trip rates between Chicago and the Colorado common points to $22.50. It is expected that independent action to this effect will be taken. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. What a satisfaction it is to go through life radiating sunshine and hope instead of despair, encouragement instead of discouragement, and to feel conscious that even the newsboy or the bootblack, the car conductor, the office boy, the elevator boy, or anybody else with whom one comes in contact, gets a little dash of sunshine. It costs nothing when you buy a paper of a boy, or get your shoes shined, or pass into an elevator, or give your fare to a conductor, to give a smile with it, to make these people feel that you have a warm heart and good will. Such salutations will mean more to us than many of the so-called great things. It is the small change in life. Give it out freely. The more you give the richer you will grow.—Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. Alcolohl Light. Wood alcohol is coming into quite general use for lighting in France and Germany, where it is as inexpensive as kerosene. The alcohol is led to a special burner by a wick, which does not require trimming, and with a small Welsbach mantle in a slender glass chimney, a smokeless and steady light of forty-five candle power is produced. This very brilliant light can be regulated perfectly and is quite odorless. In Record Time. Piney Flats, Tenn., May 29th. (Special)—Cured in two days of Rheumatism that had made his life a torture for two years, D. S. Hilton of this place naturally wants every other sufferer from rheumatism to know what cured him. It was Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the greatest pill on earth" says Mr. Hilton, "I would not take any sum of money for what they did for me. For two years I had what the doctors called rheumatism. I could hardly walk around the house. It seemed to be in my back and hip and legs. I tried everything but nothing helped me till I got Dodd's Kidney Pills." "Two days after I took the first dose all pain left me and it has never come back since. I can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too much." Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. Healthy kidneys take all the Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodds' Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys.

Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. J. E. Waggoner, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I can most heartily recommend your Castoria to the public as a remedy for children's complaints. I have tried it and found it of great value. Dr. J. E. Waggoner, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm. Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children. Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for infants and may prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A.
