The American Negro is at the Important point in History- Making Days. What Road Will He Choose? VOL. XI. A CRUCICA The American Negro is at the Making Days. What After forty years of freedom in a Biblical land, surrounded on every hand by schools, colleges and academies; in a constitutional republic and in the very heart of the world's commercial arena, we find the American Negro having to his credit the greatest and most wonderful progress of any race which has ever been made by freedmen in the whole history of civilized nations. From the slave he has arisen and now occupies a seat in every congregation of art, learning and trade—he has spent his day as an apprentice and stands forth today as master of his choosen calling. From every hilltop and from every valley they come—he is indeed at the turning point—the most important point in the history of any race or people. He has two roads from which to choose—the one will carry him to higher and more commanding positions—the other will lower him from his present position. Which will he take? We all know which we would like to see him take—but time alone will say which he has taken. Right at this period requires the most conservative minds, the most sincere work, the most relentless instruction to steer the race in the proper channel—this is no time for insincerity or bickering—but requires earnestness and soberness to properly accomplish this most strenuous task. Never since the first Afro-American were landed on American soil in 1619 has there been such ceaseless, heated and diversified discussion about the American Negro, his progress and his future as is heard on every hand to-day. All this discussion is not meaningless—it seems that the whole civilized world has just awakened to the real facts as to who the Negro is—and what he has been doing. In order to hold their position under such constant bombardment —pro and con—the American Negro—must put his best efforts forward and grasp the situation with irony hands. This is, indeed, the crucical point in the American Negros' history. With the many philosophers with their varied schemes and isms for and against the race, it is a perplexing problem to deal with. Most assuredly it is a condition and not a theory which confronts us. We cannot theorize and deal successfully with them, but we must meet them as all other conditions are met, face to face, manfully, unflinchingly and resolutely. That the Negro holds his own destiny in the hollow of his own hand—the skeptical agree. There is no race outside of the Negro race, that has the adaptability to produce the proper course to the future up-lifting of the Negro race—the innate characteristics of the Negro race readily convinces that if the Negro is to be up-lifted—he must be up-lifted by himself. While other races may, can and will most substantially assist—the real work must be done by the Negro himself. In accomplishing this great work of race progression—the race must have the ability to distinguish between good advice and clandestine advice. The one will prove and everlasting benefit to the race, while the other will prove an eternal injury. The Negro race and the leaders should in every way possibls cultivate a friendly feeling with the dormant race—the Caucasian—with whom and amongst whom they must live. This good feeling will quite materially advance the possibilities of the race to that heights to which the race now aspires. In his dealings the Negro should not attempt to deal on the narrow basis of race but should consider all men on the broad basis of manhood and merit, and not only should he deal in that way with other men but he should insist that other men deal with him on a similar basis. We are all Americans and should be dealt with in that manner. False doctrines and false teachers have done more to hold the race back than any other one thing since they began the march to progress, let us weed out the false and maintain the true. As a citizen the Negro is entitled to all the privilege and advantages vouchsafe to any other citizen and by his bold stand for manhood and merit he will secure these.—Wichita Searchlight.

State Federation Of Colored Women's Clubs Hold Interesting Session in Pueblo. The second annual convention of the Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's clubs convened in Pueblo, Colo., at 9 a. m., Thursday, June 15th, in St. Johns A. M. E. church and lasted two days. A large number of delegates from Denver and Colorado Springs were in attendance and never has Pueblo been honored with a more enthusiastic convention. The morning session, June 15, was taken up by the reading of reports from the various clubs and officers. The opening address of welcome on behalf of the colored women of Pueblo was delivered by Mrs. L. A. Hargron and was responded to by Mrs. Eva Buckner of Colorado, Springs. The afternoon session was called to order by the president, Mrs. Ida Joyce-Jackson at 2 o'clock, and was opened by singing the Federation song "Onward" written by Mrs. Eva Buckner. The minutes of the previous convention were read and adopted. The paper by Mrs. Lizzie Watson of Colorado Springs on "The Sphere of Woman" and the one on "Temperance" by Mrs. Young of Pueblo, were filled with inspiring thoughts but the pathetic memorial services over the death of Mrs. L. H. Lincoln, prevented their being discussed. Musical selections by Mrs. F. A. Johnson, Mr. Gatewood and the A. M. E. choir were much appreciated as were the remarks by Dr. Corwin, chief surgeon of the C. F. I. hospital. The evening session opened at 8 o'clock with music by the combin- ed choirs of the Eight street Baptist church and St. Johns A. M. E. church. A cordial welcome was extended to the ladies by Mayor West in behalf of the people of Pueblo. His greeting was hearty and his words well chosen. The response on behalf of the State Federation was made by Hon. W. B. Townsend of Pueblo. Next on program was to have been a paper "Value of Race Literature" by Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman of Colorado Springs, but she lay seriously ill at her home. Prayer for her welfare was offered by Mrs. J. P. Watson. The musical selection of this session; a vocal solo by Mrs. E. Dishman of Denver, and a piano solo by Miss Winnifred Harrison, received hearty applause. The president's annual address by Mrs. Ida Joyce-Jackson was the climax to a day of eloquence. Mrs. Jackson's remarks were soulful and filled with recommendations for the uplift of the race. Her concluding remarks based on the state motto was "Lifting as we climb, struggling and striving, let us go onward and upward, hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition before many years." Friday morning was held one of the most interesting sessions of the convention. The session opened by music and the invocation by Rev. H. F. Bray. A paper "Our Women in Business" was read by Mrs. Julia Emery of Colorado Springs and was much appreciated as also the Piano solo by Miss Nellie Baker. Mrs. Arnested, superintendent of the rescue work of the Harper W. C. T. U., made a stirring speech on the necessity of her line of work and few dry eyes were in the house as the enormous proportions of sin and suffering were depicted. A paper by Mrs. S. C. Morris of Denver "The Millenial Dawn" held the audience spell bound. The graceful delivery was a noticeable feature. Mrs. H. D. Earl of Colorado Springs read an interesting paper "A Mothers Duty to Her Daughter." The most interesting features of the afternoon session were the papers, "Art Work" by Mrs. H. B. Fox; Our Part in the Life Left of the Race" by Mrs. S. B. Jones both of Colorado Springs and piano selections by Mesdames C. L. Smith and Maud Savage. At 8 p. m. the closing session was held, three interesting papers were read. Mrs. Cornelia Flemings of Colorado Springs subject was "The Highest Ideals for the Negro Youth, Mrs. Martha Sprattlin of Denver further set forth the need of clubs and rescue work in her paper on "Women's Club and Rescue Work;" W. H. Fife, of Pueblo read a paper the "Duty of Women." The recitation "The Pilots Story" by Miss Leona Troutman of Denver, the two piano se- NO. 39. lections by Miss L. M. Johnson of Lincoln, Neb., and the "Goonight Chorus" by the combined choirs were much applauded. Mrs. Ida DePriest as chairman of the committee on resolutions read the report of the committee which embodied the federation platform and resolutions of courtesy to all who had been instrumental in making the convention such a decided success. Press correspondents for this year are Mrs. Young for Pueblo, Mrs. Julia Emery for Colorado Springs, Miss Leona Troutman for Denver. The next convention will be held in Denver. A REMARKABLE NEGRO WAS BENJ. BANNEKER. The "Black Astronomer" Who Helped L'Enfant Lay Out Washington, City of Magnificent Distance Much has been said recently in regard to fittingly commemorating the services Pierre L'Enfant rendered the national capital when he laid out Washington and made it a "city of magnificent distances." A contributor to the New York Sun suggests that if such honor is to be paid to the architect, his associate in the undertaking must not be forgotten. A Maryland negro, Benjamin Bannneker, known as "the black astronomer," was called upon to assist L'Enfant, and so satisfactory was his work that the commission retained him until the service was accomplished. Banneker was born in 1731. He had an industrious and thriving father, who left him in possession of a snug little farm. The boy grew up, working by, day and studying by night. He was largely self-taught, and took delight in working out the most absturse mathematical problems, and writing the answers in rime. He also had a mechanical genius, and constructed a wooden clock without ever having seen one, his only guide being a watch. Many of his nights were spent in the open air, lying on the ground and observing the movements of the stars. Indeed, so exact were his calculations that he not only made an almanac himself, but he corrected some slight errors which occurred in Ferguson's and Leadbetter's calendars. The only time when Banneker left his home for any distance or length of time was when he served on the Washington commission in 1789. The members of the commission were much pleased with him, both personally and professionally. A pleasant picture is left of this much-respected negro. He never married, living alone on his little farm, cooking his own food and doing his own washing. He was a fine looking man in his habitual suit of gray cloth, and his broad brimmed beaver hat. His nature was kind, hospitable and humane. One of his frequent saying is preserved in his own handwriting. "It is said that 'evil communications corrupt good manners.' I hope to live to hear that good communications correct bad manners." This worthy man had one great falling—his love for strong drink. While in the Washington commission he did not allow himself to taste liquor. "I feared to trust myself even with wine," he said, "lest it should steal away any little sense I have." No one realized the degradation of his habit more than he, and he finally overcame it. While the funeral services of Benjamin Banneker were being held at the grave, his little house caught fire, and burned up with every specimen of his ingenuity and scholarship. His best work, however, will last as long as Washington retains its fine avenues.

President Roosevelt Praises Former Railroad Official, Secretary of the Navy and Chairman of Equitable Life, Washington, June 22—President Roosevelt has taken occasion to ex- press himself in most positive terms complimentary of the integrity and ability of Paul Morton, former vice president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company, and now concluding his duties as secretary of the navy that he may assume the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance So- clety of New York. z ‘These expressions are contained in two letters, one addressed to the at torney general and the other to Mr. Morton. The letters were made pub- lie yesterday by the administration, together with several others, which, taken together, show the precise point of difference between the Department of Justice and Messrs. Harmon and Judson, who recently resigned as spe cial counsel for the government in the ‘rebate case involving the Santa Fe “road and the Colorado Fuel and [rou Company. ‘The special counsel wished to bring contempt proceedings against the of ficers of the road, which would have included Mr, Morton, ‘Their position was that the testimony adduced: before the Interstate Commerce Commission established a violation of the court order of March 25, 1902, restraining the company from executing any agreement to transport interstate traf fic at rates lower than the published tarift of the road. ‘This testimony. they contended, constituted a primo facie case against the officers of the road and the only way to ascertain their guilt or innocence was throug! contempt proceedings. Attorney General Moody opposed bringing the contempt proceedings or the ground that while the eyidenc« before the commission might show « violation of the injunction by the road it contained nothing charging any offi cer of the company with such viola tion, President Roosevelt took th: same view. Both the president and the attorney general agreed that contempt pro ceedings should be instituted tmper sonally against the corporation; ir both the Colorado Fuel and the Inter national Harvester case. The latte case, the president says, stands ex actly on the same footing and Involve: practically all of the Western roads.

Milwaukee, June 22—The head camp of Modern Woodmen of America opened its fourteenth bieanial conven: tion at the Davidson ‘Theatre Tuesday with between 600 and 700 delegates, representing over 11,000 camps and nearly 700,000members present, Mayor David 8. Rose welcomed the delegates to the city. Responses were mride: by Head Consul A. R. ‘Talbot for the Mod- ern Woodmen and Head Clerk Charles Hawes of Rock Island for the head of- fice. ‘The report of Head Consul A. R. Tal- bot was devoted to a review of the work during the biennial term. Speak- ing of the centralization of the work of the medical department, he favored the discontinuance of state head phy- sicians, all applications to go to the supreme medical directors at the head office. He favored an interval of three or four years between the mectings of the head camp, in the interests of econ- omy. During the biennial the new members numbered 121,639, and 1,482 new camps were chartered. The soclety, he said, now includes 14.53 per cent. of all those eligible for membership in the states In which it is organized in This was followed by the report ot Head Clerk Hawes. The report eon- tained the following: The insurance in force at the elose of the biennial term aggregated $1- 136,678,500. ‘The society paid 7,051 death claims, amounting to $12,663,- 603, as against 5,860 claims, amounting to $10,736,435, during the term preced- ing. ‘The receipts of the benefit fund to- talled $12,567,703, as against $7,570,088 during the preceding biennial. ‘The balance at the close of the term was $807,587. ‘The receipts of the general fund were $1,674,299, as against $1,503,- 011 during the ‘preceding term, the balance being $289,994. The lapsed (beneficial) membership during the two years was 117,415, and the lapsed insurance $176,462,500. ‘The average per capita payment to the benefit fund was $1.26%4, as against 80 cents dur ing the term preceding. The increase was due to the new rates becoming ef fective January 1, 1904, when the rates of the members were increased from twenty-five per cent. to seventy-five per cent. at the various ages. ‘There were 2,991 deaths from accident and 804 deaths from suicide. Of the latter 248 were farmers—30.55 per cent. of the total number. The Yarmers also Jed in accidental deaths—8s5. Dr. Warner of Kansas addressed the Woodmen convention in the afternoon, discussing the merits of national fra- ternal sanitarlum for tuberculosis suf ferers, In the course of his remarks the doctor said that of the more than } 700,000 members of the Modern Wood: men of America more than 100,000 were doomed to die of consumption. ‘The Woodmen paid last May $86,000 in death claims due to consumption in April. é ‘The doctor told how the Santa Fe Railroad Company had given a $1,000, 600 hotel and site in the city of Las Vegas, New Mexico for sanitarium pur poses, and asked that each mem: ber of the Woodmen contribute one penny a month to a fund for the Toaintenance of the institution, DHE TRUST Does Not Churn Carlson’s Creamery Butter £ PULELIE VY 3 Block Signals The first railway in America to adopt the absolute Block System in the operation of all trains was the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway It to-day hos more miles of road operated under block signal'rale than any. other railway company.

St. Petersburg, June 20.—Emperor Nicholas received the Zemstvo deputa- tion yesterday. ‘The reception took place at noon in the Alexander palace at Paterhct. Prince Troubteskoy, president of the Zemstyo Congress of the Moscow gov- ernment, in behalf of the Moscow dele- gation, addressed the emperor in a long speech, in which he described the serious internal conditions which have caused the Zemstvos to approach his majesty directly. The emperor eyidently was much impressed. M, Fedeoroff, representing the St. Petersbug delegation, also spoke. His majesty replied, express- ing deep regret at the great sacrifice consequent on the war and above everything at the disaster to the Rus- sian navy. ‘The emperor sald: “I am happy to have heard you. I have no doubt you are guided by an ardent sentiment of love for the fath- erland in addressing me directly. “I have been grieved in my whole soul with all my people at the calamt- ties which the war has brought upon Russia, and at all those which may still be feared, as well as our internal disturbances, “Dissipate your thoughts.

The five agents se- lected are Prof, Lincoln Hutehinson, University of California; Charles M. Popper, Harry R. Barrill, Raymond F. ‘Crist and Dr. Eaward Bedloe. As the appropriation is only $30, 000 it was decided to limit the several fields of investigation in order that the ‘dest results may be obtained for pre sentation to Congress early in the ap: proaching session, - Messrs.

The fellow who thinks that Colorado is going to give any more time to rocking Democratic hobbies has an agreeable dissappointment coming to him. The Republican party believes in home rule. The question of ownership of public utilities is one for the taxpayers of the municipalities to settle as citizens. It is not a question for state politicians to play with for political advantage. "We have the right to look forward with confident hope to the future of this Republic, because it will not and shall not become the Republic of any class, either poor or rich; because it will not and shall not become the Republic of any class, either poor or rich; because it will and shall remain as its founders did his duty to his neighbors, was given his full rights, was guaranteed justice and had justice exacted him in return."—Theodore Roosevelt. municipal ownership is a local, not a state question. Each town must decide for itself whether or not it wants to buy and operate its public utilities. The Democratic leaders are going to have a difficult time stirring up any interest in this question among farmers, mineas & others who do not live in large town or cities. They all believe in home rule and are entirely willing to let the municipalities spend their own money as they deem best. There is nothing in the present political situation to call for an active or noisy campaign. It is only essential that the Republican organizations and press keep in touch with the people upon topics of current political interest. It may annoy the Democrats to know that the Republican press, the sentinels of the party, are on the alert and keeping the army informed of the moves of the enemy. It is not to be expected that the Democratic bosses will approve of this vigilance, but they will have to endure it just the same. A calm, fair and unimpassioned discussion of public questions is always in order. If public interest is to be kept alive to public needs it is absolutely necessary that this course be prusued. OUR SUMMER TOZRISTS. Speaking of Colorado as a great pleasure resort President Roosevelt said: "Passing through your wonderful mountains and canons, I realize that this state is going to be more and more the playground for the entire Republic. You will see this, the real Switzerland of America, made as much of a holiday place as Switzerland is in Europe." That the people of this country are realizing the truth of this statement from the executive head of the nation is quite evident from the continuous increase of tourists every year, and on account of the Epworth League, Grand Army Encampment and various other gatherings that will meet here this summer, Denver will be taxed to the limit of its great capacity to furnish accommodations for the visitors who will be here to enjoy the cool and balmy breeze of the Rockies and view the sceneries of grandeur as well as to witness the splendor of the many attractions and outings. There will be many thousand colored visitors among the vast throng and the colored citizens of Denver have already placed many cards of attractions on the calendar and as usual THE COLORADO STATESMAN will eclipse all outings that will be given during the season with its ninth annual picnic at Rocky Mountain Lake Thursday, July 13. This event is looked upon as annual holiday by the people of Denver and surrounding country and it goes without saying that none will be disappointed for enjoyment. The large lake will be the scene of many boats filled with those who seek an outing upon the deep; the great area of blue glass shaded with huge trees; the many hammocks and swings; the croquet grounds, the arena for field sports and the large dancing pavillian will furnish abundance of pleasure for the great throng of people that will be present. We greatly appreciate the fact that the citizens of Denver join us in our annual outing and help make it pleasant for visitors and strangers. With the appointment of W. H.

The City in the Sea Lo, death has reared himself a throne in a strange city lying alone Far down within the dim west, Where gloom gathers the bad and the worst in the best Have gone to their eternal rest, Their shrines and palaces and towers (Time-eaten towers that tremble not) Rescued from the wretched waters. Around, by lifting winds forgot, Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie. No rays from the holy heaven come down On the long night time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently, Gleams up the pinnacles far and free; Up drapes on splendid up knee balls, Up fanes, up Babylon-like walls, Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers. Up marmor, up marvellous shrine Whose wretched frieze forever The viol, the violet, and the vine. Resignedly beneath the sky The shrine to the turrets and shadows there So blend the turrets and shadows there That all seem pendulous in air. I am tempted to ask the reader merely to believe, because I say so, that the destruction of disease germs is possible. Of course I don't mean to assert that we are yet in possession of knowledge sufficient for our purpose, even supposing that mankind had set itself on the extermination of disease microbes, says C. W. Saleeby, M. D., in Harper's Weekly. For absolute success we must know much more than we do. In the case of malaria our knowledge is practically perfect. We know the life history of the microbe from the cradle to the grave, so to speak, and therefore we can exterminate it whenever the public of the planet gives the word. On the other hand, we have not yet discovered the microbes of many diseases, such as measles and whooping cough and mumps, and even a "cold in the head." But these are mere matters of time. Similarly, we must recognize that microbes go through millions of generations when other creatures go through one. At the end of twenty-four hours a microbe may have grandchildren with "great-great" added on. Therefore they can vary very Turnverein in War Time The first Turner societies in the United States were founded in Philadelphia and Cincinnati in 1841, and shortly after, the New York Turnerein had its start in Hoboken. Two years later ten societies were flourishing and these were formed into a National Turner union, says Ouling. The revolutionary spirit which blazed fiercely in Germany in 1848 was rushed for the time and many patriots of superior education and intelligence fled to this country as an asylum. They were strangers in a strange land, unable to communicate with the native born and sociability was limited to intercourse with their own countrymen. They had been Turners at home, using this organization and a nursery of patriotism, in which high ideals of political, social and religious progress were cherished, together with the training of the body for the hardships of the field and camp. This ideal of classic times, wisely reincarnated in modern Germany to serve a nation's needs, was trans- Odd Things About Money Business men throughout Canada are disturbed at the preponderance of American coins in trade circles. Ways and means are being sought to exclude American silver coins as far as possible from business channels. The Canadian Bankers' association has proposed to the Canadian government that it reimburse the banks for the charges of shipping American silver back to the United States, the banks at the same time to take an equivalent amount of Canadian silver. There has been no disposition to refuse American bills, for the balance of trade is heavily in favor of the United States and the bills are accepted at par by the banks for shipment to correspondents throughout the United States. Chinese mints are literally "coining money" on a scheme recently hit upon by which copper coins are minted at a comparatively small cost and made exchangeable at the rate of ninety for a Mexican dollar. At Hangchau 20,000,000 of these copper coins Was Out of Proportion "During the motor boat races," said an American, "there was a great assemblage of celebrities at Monte Carlo. "Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the English publisher, lunched one day at Monte Carlo on Russian dishes at the famous Citro's. He had come from Marseilles in a new ninety-horse-power automobile, and Cirro was now explaining to him his Russian dishes, a novelty that Monte Carlo had welcomed heartily. "Sir Alfred helped himself to a Russian dish that looked like black velvet. "This is good,' he said, 'but have you any kvass?' "Kvass? Indeed, yes,' said Ciro. "I'll have some kvass, then,' said Sir Alfred. "Some kvass, with plenty of Caucasus cabbage in it." "But when the pale kvass came it was too thick with the aromatic cabbage of the Caucasus. It was neces While from a proud tower in the town Death looks gigantically down. There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves; But not the riches there that lie In each idol's diamond eye— Not what gears dead, Tempt the waters from their bed; For no ripples curl, alas. Along that wilderness of glass; No swellings all that winds may be Upon the faeces of a pirate; No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene. But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave—there is a movement there! As if the towers had a movement aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide; As if the top copier gave A void within the filmy heart! The waves have now a redder glow. The hours are breathing faint and low; And when, amid no earthly moons, Dawns come the gentle sigh, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence. quickly. And we know that certain conditions may cause innocent microbes so to vary, after a few thousands of generations (taking next to no time), that they become harmful. All this question must be investigated on even a wider scale than at present; so that we may be able to kill all the microbes that are even potentially dangerous, or else modify them so that they are dangerous only to creatures which are dangerous to us. An instance of this is already furnished in a sense, by the plague. The microbe of *nis* disease—the bacillus pestis—discovered ten years ago by the great Japanese bacteriologist Xitasato, is mainly conveyed from place to place by rats, which die even more readily than man of this terrible disease. Therefore man has declared war on the unfortunate rat, his co-victim. As disease gradually diminishes upon the earth, with the disappearance of its chief cause, certain great changes will occur in human life. Its average length will be greatly increased—certainly by several decades—for microbes shorten the life of every one of us, even when we die of so-called "old age." planted to the United States by the fortunes of war. The Turner societies aroused some antagonism, based on the specious claim that they were an attempt to create a state within a state and to keep the Germans apart from the life around them. This contention was magnificently shattered a little more than a decade after the first Turners were organized in this country. When the civil war began, these German citizens of the United States volunteered in such numbers that in New York a Turner regiment was enlisted and sent to the front under Col. Max Webber. The Ninth Ohio was another regiment of Turners from Cincinnati, and in Philadelphia and St. Louis Turners filled the ranks of regiments which did not have the distinctive name. Gen. Seigel commanded several thousand Turners in his forces and was their idol, for he had been a leader of the Turnerbund in his own land and was one of the fighting revolutionary commanders who led his army into Switzerland and there disbanded it after the cause was lost. are being made every month and shipped to Shanghai. The coins are officially known as the 10-cash coins, corresponding to our American 1-cent pieces. One hundred of these coins weight slightly over twenty-four ounces and a pound and a half copper costs only 10 to 20 cents. No great amount of power is needed to convert the copper into coin and plenty of labor can be had at from $4 to $8 gold a month. According to Chinese computation, the pound and a half of copper in money is worth about $1.12 Mexican, or 50 cents in gold. While issued at the mints for 90 cents to one Mexican dollar, so great is the demand for these copper coins among the Chinese that they pass current among the people for from 95 to 97 cents. A new mint with an output of 2,000,000 of these coins a day will start up in Hangchau this month. The new coins are not only driving gold cash out of circulation, but will have to be reckoned with when a new monetary system is made for the Chinese empire. sary to send it back for a little more sour soup. "‘I remind myself,’ said Sir Alfred smiling, ‘of an old man who sat at a table next to mine in Sweeting’s the other day. “This old man ordered ale and lobster. “‘And, waiter,’ he said, ‘see that you put a good head on the ale.’ ‘Yes, sir, a good head, sir,’ said the waiter, and in a little while he returned with a mug of ale that foamed like a geyser. “There was too much foam altogether. With a spoon the old man laded it off. Thereupon the waiter took the nearly empty glass again to refill it. “‘You told me, you know, sir,’ he said, ‘that you wanted a good head on it.’ "But,' said the old man, 'I didn't know it would have such a very short neck,'" —Edgar Allan Poe.

Admission 35 cents. A telegram was received last Saturday from Austin, Texas, announcing the death of H. C. Day, formery of this city. Deceased left Denver early in February for Austin with a view of benefiting his health but the change proved to be of no benefit. Deceased was a charter member of Damon Lodge No. 5. Knights of Pythias of this city and was serving his second term in the executive chair when he left the city. Besides a widow and other relatives, he leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his sad demise. The Mecca Cafe and Chili Parlors at 2226 Arapahoe street, is without doubt the most up-to-date resort of its kind in the West. It has in connection a large summer pavillan and no better place can be found in the city for the enjoyment of tripling the light fantastic. During the summer season an excellent orchestra will furnish music for the amusement of the guests. Everybody who has visited this first-class resort speak in the highest terms of it.

He was 45 years of age and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his sad demise.

Both young ladies, though charmed with the culture and educational advantages of the East, are very glad to be home again. We have known Mrs. Barnes for more than 18 years and we heartily congratulate her for the manner in which she has reared and trained these two industrious young ladies, who, themselves deserves no little amount of credit for their ambitiousness in ascending the ladder of fame.

Edward Young, author of "Night Thoughts," wrote in 1749 to the Duchess of Portland a letter containing an enthusiastic reference to Richardson's "Clarissa," and this letter has just been published among the Longest MSS. "Has your grace read his 'Clarissa?'" says Young. "What a beautiful brat of the brain is there! I wish your grace would stand godmother and give its name 'Clarissa the Divine.' That romance will probably do more good than a body of Divinity. If all printers could turn such authors I would turn printer in order to be instrumental in promoting such benefit to mankind." The modern author may well sigh for such appreciation. Languages of India. Among the 145 distinct languages spoken in British India are some possessing only a few hundred words, others rivaling English, as Dr. Grieler says, or Russian, as I would say, in their copiousness; some in which every word is a monosyllable, others in which some are elongated by agglutination till they run to ten syllables, like da-pa-i-ocho-akan-taken-taetin-a-e—a Soutall word meaning: "He who belongs to him belongs to me will continue letting himself be made to fight." Some of these divers tongues lack verb and noun, others are as complex and systematic as Greek and Latin.—Nineteenth Century. Behind the Age.

Iluminants of the Past, One and All, Have Serious Defects—Acetylene Gas, with Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes. Chicago, June 20.—No one can go into our schools or meet a group of children on the street without noticing how large a number of them wear spectacles. The propor- tion seems to increase yearly, and there are many more who ought to wear glasses. The experience of one teacher might be duplicated by the score. She knew Alice was inatten- tive and she thought she was unusual- ly stupid. She said so to the principal and sent a note to the mother, re- questing that the child be helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class. One day after a black- board explanation, the teacher called upon the child and found that she had not seen what had been written. She ‘was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic questioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often and so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. Such a condition may be caused by Jack of proper food, but in our Amer! can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yellow, insufficient light of the ordi- nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chimney, is about as bad for the eyes as can be Imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little better, and even the eiecirie light, brilliant as it usually fs, has an ua- steadiness due to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The compar- atively new illuminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the rays of the sun that even colors appear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and installed in any home at a very moderate cost, and the acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the house where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and {t is reasonable to expect that as its use in the home increases, there will be fewer defective eyes, particu- larly among children. Poor eyesight and the many ills resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant. “Paw, would it be ungrammatical to say ‘I seen you when you hid $10 un- der the bureau?” “Yes, son, both un- grammatical and dangerous. When you are in doubt on such points always come to me, and never go to your mother.” RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION. At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors recent- ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu- tions were unanimously adopted voic- ing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employes, whom they in part represented. These resolutions “indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads cf American Railways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the president on this question.” They then respectfully point out to Congress the “inadvisabllity of legis- lation yesting in the hands of a com- mission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other country,” because such regulation would “result in litigation and confusion and in- evitably “end to an enforced reduc- tion in rates, irrespective of the ques- tion of the ability of the railroads to ‘stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies fd materials.” They further protest- ed against such power being given to the present Inter-State Commission because “the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence, inasmuch as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, $ndict, try, condemn and then enforce {ts decisions at the cost of the car- riers, pending appeal, which is mant- festly inequitable.” The conductors base their demand for only such legislation if any, as would “secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned,” on the ground that the low cost of transportation “is the result of the ‘efficiency of American railway management and operation ‘which have built up the country through constant improvement and development of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among em- ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest ‘wages to employes obtain.” In pressing their claim against leg- {station adverse to their interests, they point out the tact that “the freight rates of this country average only two per cent of the cost of art!- cles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor fn the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country.” A Caloutta paper says the climate of that city is so unhealthy that the in- habitants are obliged to live elsewhere. a ee Wo have the most complete line of CONG ORT Tee Cea eee Base Ball Goods SEere DEES In the East End Ge And our Prices are so exceptionally low that it is not necessary to go further to outfit for this attractive sport.

Conference Favors Immediate Munict pal Ownership—state Central Com- mittee Would Leave It to Lecal Decision. Saecgen Te Denver, June 21—A joint confer- ence of members of the Democratic State Central Committee and the Dem- oeratic leaders not directly connected with the state organization as com- mitteemen met here Monday in pur- Suance of a call issued some weeks ago by United States Senators Teller and “Patterson, Former Governor Adams and Charles 8. Thomas and the other leading party men, for the pur- pose of securing an expression of opin- lon on the issues of the day affecting the state of Colorado. On entering the tonference the members of the state committee announced that they did so only as individuals, ‘The conference instructed a com- mittee, headed by Senator Patterson, to prepare an address to the people of Colorado. This was done and the conference later heard it read and in- forsed it as a platform of principles for the Colorado Democracy. ‘This address, after referring to the conspiracy which resulted in the un- seating of Alva Adams from the gov- ernorship and installing a man “who never had been nominated for tho place and for whom a single vote hac hot been cast,” warns the people that the corporations “haye deliberately determined to rule the state, regard- less of what the majority ‘of legal voters may decide.” ‘The address further says: “We stand for municipal ownership of all public utilities. The claim that this fs a question local to each town and city is given the lie by the events of the past few years in Colorado.” Later the state central committee held a meeting and adopted the fol- lowing: “Resolved, by the Democratic State Central Committee, That while we favor municipal ownership of public utilities, the time and manner of ac- quiring them should be left to the vari- ous towns and cities interested.” A banquet to the Democratic confer ence was held at the Savoy hotel Mon day night and was attended by more than 300 Democrats from all sections of the state. Samuel Belford of Den: ver acted as toastmaster. The program of toasts was as follows: “Democracy’s Duty,to the People,” by Senator Henry M. Teller, “A Party, to Govern the People, Must Govern Itself,” Harry L. Lubeers of Las Animas. “Pietro and Ah Sin,” ex-Governo: Charles S. Thomas. “Citizenship and Democracy,” ex Governor Alva Adams. “The Democrate Party, What I Should Stand For,” Senator Thomas M, Patterson, Although not om the program. State Chairman Milton Smith and Thomas O'Donnell also spoke. BOWEN REMOVED. President Orders Dismissal of Minis ter to Venezuela. Washington, June 21—The dismissal of Herbert W. Bowen, for some yeare United States minister to Venezuela, and the exoneration of Assistant Sec- retary of State Francis B. Loomis of the allegations brought against him by Mr. Bowen, are the outcome of the Loomis-Bowen controversy which has attracted wide attention for many months past. ‘This disposition of the case is made by President Roosevelt in a letter ad- dressed to Secretary Taft, made pub- lic iast night, approving Mr. Taft's re- port on his findings and conclusions in the case. The President scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen, declaring that his conduct is “especially repre- hensible;” that Mr. Bowen asked one of his witnesses to enter the employ of a certain company for the purpose, “in plain words, of svealing” docu- ments which he hoped might incrim- inate Mr. Loomis, and that Mr. Bowen has “evidently for many months, in- deed for the last two years, devoted himself” to hunting up scandal and gossip until it became a monomania and caused him “to show complete disloyalty” to the company repre- sented. The President says he had hoped to promote Mr. Bowen, as dur ing much of his service he had done good work, but that his usefulness in the diplomatic service is now at an end. The President adds that he would direct that Mr. Bowen's resignation be requested, but for his statement that he would consider a resignation an admission of misconduct, and the dismissal is therefore ordered. Important Baseball Decision. _ New York, June 21—Persons who attend baseball games do so at their own risk, according to a decision just handed down by Civil Justice Mc- Laughlin in a damage suit brought by @ young woman who claims to have been injured by a foul ball. The com- plainant was an enthusiastic admirer of the game. On September 3, 1904, while a spectator at the contest on the Polo grounds between the New York National Club and the Bostons, a foul ball smote her on the nose. The doc- tors saved her from permanent dis- figurement, but suit was brought for damages in the sum of $500 against the New York club’s management. ‘The complainant's counsel asserted that the management was responsible for everything that went wrong on the ground and that the woman's in- jury was clearly due to the lack of proper safeguards. The justice, how- ever, ruled that those, who entered the grounds did so at their own risk. Spanish Cabinet Resigns. Madrid, June 21—The entire Cabl- net has resigned and its resignation has been accepted by King Alfonso. ‘The resignation followed the rejection of a vote of confidence in the Cabinet, {ntroduced in the Chamber of Deputies by Deputy Liorens. Senor Besada, minister of the tn. terior, in supporting the motion, sald that the Cabinet had the confidence of the crown and was backed by public opinfon, but it remained to be seen whether it bad the requisite political majority. : : STATE LABOR OFFICE LABOR COMMISSIONER'S WORK. Many Complaints Satisfactorily Set- tled—Conditions Good In West- ‘Gen Coldcada. | Denver, June 19.—Since he became state labor commissioner two months go B. V, Brake hag had 112 com- plaints filed in his office, which have hearly all been adjusted satisfactorily. The law only requires that where com- plaints are made by laboring people that they have been defrauded or un- justly kept out of thelr wages the com- missioner may investigate. It does not give him power to act, but the commissioner 1s a great moral force and usually yery soon after a case is reported it 1s speedily adjusted, be- cause the employer is not courting trouble. The cases are of great va- riety and the claims presented run from $1 to several hundred. Women are the greatest offenders, strange as it may seem. They become angry and discharge a servant or @ dressmaker, refusing to adjust the wages until the end of the month, or when they feel like it, and frequently setting up a counter-claim for poor work or broken dishes. A poor person cannot wait, nor can he or she afford to sue, setting forth the Justice or in- justice of the claim against them. There is much trouble, also, with em- ployment agents, since, unhappily, @ good many unworthy persons go into that business becaure it offers excel lent opportunities for preying upon the labor of others. Recently Mr. Brake had a very aggravated claim of this kind, An agent attempted to ship twenty-three men on a train to a job of work on a ticket that called for twerity-one fares. The extra men were put off, and one of them made his way back to the city. He was out his com- mission to the agent, lost his blankets and was generally a sufferer. The commissioner was able to adjust the claim without trouble. Commissioner Brake has no fund to work with, but he has managed to se- cure legal services in a manner of his own. He has made an arrangement with R. 1 Gregg, preceptor at the law school of the Denver University, to handle the cases. Mr. Gregg has a good many young law students who are looking for experience, and they take up the petty cases and handle them for nothing, Mr. Brake has recently returned from a trip over the western part of the state, looking up labor statistics. He reports that conditions are satis- factory in almost every section and few complaints were made to him. Btrawberry Day at Glenwood. Denver, June 18—A Glenwood Springs dispatch last night says: Glenwood Springs to-day celebrated her eighth annual strawberry festival and the event was pronounced by all to be a grand success, Leadville, As pen, Grand Junction, New Castle, Rifle and Carbondale contributed liberally to the number of visitors present. ‘The musical vrogram was excellent, bands from Aspen, Redstone, Grand Junction and Leadville enertaining the people. A big free strawberry feast at the Opera House was one of the leading features of the program, and scarcely less popular than this was the swim in the big pool, this be- ihe Gee for all visitors from 2 o’clock to 6. ‘A ball game this afternoon between the Aspen and Glenwood clubs re sulted in a victory for the former by a &core of fifteen to eight. ‘An excursion of Iowa school teachers on their way to Portland arrived about $ o'clock and the entire party was piloted to the headquarters at Odd Fellows hall, where they were served with strawberries and cream. The exercises closed tonight with dance in the open yir. Raval Arcanum lenteke. New York, June 19.—Plans are be ing perfected to have a great mass meeting in New York the latter part of this week or early next week, to em- phasize the protest of many members of the Royal Arcanum against the new rates adopted by the Supreme Council at Atlantic City in May. Although officers of the orgariza- tions assert that the agitation will blow over, the opposition appears to be growing, especially in New York and Brooklyn. In the official organ of the organization, which has just ap- peared, members are told that under no circumstances will there be any revocation or even modification of the decision of the supreme council}. It {s asserted that unless such a de- cided increase in the premium as was ordered had been made, it would only have been a short time before the or der would have had to go out of busi- ness. : Death of General Gomez. Havana, June 18.—Gen, Mr.xime Gomez died at 6 o'clock last evening. ‘The end came quietly in the beaut! ful temporary }ome at the suburb of Vadado, to wkich General Gomez was taken on his return from Santiago.

In this connection his fath- er makes the following statement: “Last September my little boy had dropsy; bis feet and limbs were swol- Jen to such an extent that he could not walk or put Lis shoes,on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good, and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he Would not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more pills. I used thirty-five Pilis in ail and he was entirely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child’s life. When the thirty-five Pills were given him, he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mother’s arms from morning until night.” Italian Agent Maltreated.
