Picnic for the People at Rk'y Mt. Lake. COUNTRY PARTY RACE THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHALL BE FREE THE JOURNAL OF THE STATE A Paradise For Negroes. Many Acquiring Wealth in the Indian Territory. W. E. Curtis Found the Country well Cultivated and Prosperous. Chicago, Ill., June 21.—William E. Curtis, writing to the Chicago Record-Herald from Muskogee, I. T., says: The people of the East have very little comprehension of the conditions of things out in Indian Territory. According to the popular impression it is a wilderness, sparsely settled by savages, partially civilized half breeds and a few white adventurers and escaped criminals. That never was the case, although the territory has had more than its share of rascals and adventurers, and it is not entirely without them yet. Today as you ride through from the Kansas to the Texas boundaries of any of the railroads you will see very little difference from either of those states and will not realize when you have crossed the border line. I have not seen an Indian during the week that I have spent in the territory, except a few at the agency and the headquarters of the Dawes commission here at Muskogee, where they were attending to business. I have noticed none at the railway stations, or on the streets, and remain in their villages away from the railroads, or on their fences and furthermore they are the smallest class of the population. There are no blanket Indians and no wigwams. Everybody wears ordinary dress. The Negroes seem to be very industrious. I have noticed many colored women working in the field—plowing and hoeing corn—and most of the mechanical work is done by Negro men. About one-fifth of the colored population are descendants of slaves brought here from Georgia, North Carolina Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana. at the time of the great migration. The remainder are immigrants from the same states and from Texas and Missouri, who have been induced to come here by the unusual opportunities and advantages offered them for labor and trade. Oklahoma and Indian Territory have been called "The Negro Paradise." In the five nations thus far 1,860 Negroes have received allotments of land, all the way from 50 to 5,000 acres each. This includes men, women and children, for all infants born before March 5. 1905, have the same legal right in the distribution of the tribal lands as their fathers and grandfathers, and the allottees enjoy an advantage over their former masters in that no restrictions have been placed upon them. They can dispose of their allotments for any price and at any time they like. This is a singular anomaly, because the former masters are not permitted to sell without consent of the Secretary of the Interior. Some of the richest men in the territory have Negro blood in them. A Muskogee banker told me that he knew of twenty-five or thirty Negroes in that town who are worth $25,000 or more, and he named eight, one after another, who were worth more than $50,000. He mentioned one colored man who constantly kept a cash balance of from $7,000 to $8,000 in his bank. The richest Negroes use the white national banks for obvious reasons, but there are two savings banks in Muskogee exclusively managed by colored people for the benefit of the poorer members of their race, and both of them seem to be doing a good business. Both have a few white depositors. Press Convention. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO., JUNE 15, 1905. TO THE PRESS:—Pursuant to the regular appointment under the Provisions of the Constitution, the Western Negro Press Association of the United States of America is hereby called to convene at Muskogee I. T., in its Ninth Annual Session, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1905. All Proprietors, editors, managers and correspondents West of the mississippi River are eligible to membership in said association and are urged to be present. We cordially extend an invitation to the members of the fraternity and the friends of the newspapers in general throughout the country, to meet with us at Muskogee to consider those questions so vital to the welfare of the race in the United States of America. We also extend and expect all ministers and college professors, business men and professional men and women to join us in this coming meeting. Recent developments show the need of action on the part of the intelligent and thoughtful members of the race and the Press with the aid of the pulpit must undoubtedly take the lead. The official program that will be published later will be up to the usual high standard. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1905. We would again urge upon every paper and its entire staff to make this meeting a personal matter in order to secure a large and enthusiastic gathering. The Executive committee:—Chairman, C. S. Muse, Colorado Springs, Colo.; Joseph D. D. Rivers, Denver, Col.; J. C. Trimble, Boley, I. T.; W. W. Taylor, Salt Lake, Utah; S. Ridley, Guthrie, Oklahoma; W. R. Carter, Topeka, Kansas; Albert Ross, Kansas City, Kansas. The Secretary is ordered to appraised all the railroads of the convention and will request them to extend courtesies to the members and publishers of the craft. All communicatians should be addressed to the Secty., at Colorado Springs, Colo. Fort Scott News. Rev. W. P. Green, pastor of the A. M. E. church attended the Sunday school convention at Coffeyville last week. The entertainment given by the Odd Fellows at the park of H. Kinnell Thursday, June 29th, was one of the mos. enjoyable events of the week. H. Kinnell received a very bad cut on the hand last week and it was necessary to take several stitches in it. At this writing it is very much improved. The Smart Set Social club gave its annual ball at convention hall The officers and members of the club are receiving flattering compliments for the royal manner in which they entertained their guests. Rev. W. A. Bowen, pastor of Shilo Baptist church, raised over $300.00 at the rally on June 18th. The proceededs will be used to pay off a mortgage that has been on the church for over a year. Rev. Bowen deserves great credit for his energy and push. On Wednesday evening, June 21st a delightful party was given at the home of Misses Ada and Ida Kinnell. Games and music comprised an interesting part of the evening's program. Light refreshments were served and a late hour found the guests departing after having expressed themselves in the most flattering terms of the genial hospitality of the two young ladies. Those present were Misses Carrie Black, Lizzie Woodson, Beatrice Smalley, Floyd Hayes, Emma Woodson, Mattie Bruce, Lulu Woodson; Messrs. J. F. Owens, R. M. Jamison, A. L. Hawkins, Charley Bruce, Minor Lawrence, Luther Allison, E. G. Watson, Willie Gramm, Geo. Goodall, Annice Smalley, G. Martin. RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchange. Seven Afro-Americans, one a girl graduate from Harvard college this month. Nashville, Tenn., June 20.—Simon Ford, a Negro, was taken from the jail at Hohenwald by a mob of fifty men and shot to death. He had confessed to committing an assault on a white woman. In Mobile, Ala., out of 19 letter carriers, 18 are Afro-Americans. In Montgomery, out of 24, 22 are Afro-Americans; C. O. Harris has been chief mailing clerk in this office a quarter of a century. Four-fifths of the employees of both postoffices are Afro-Americans. Will Marion Cook, America's foremost colored light composer, has gone into the song publishing business. Mr. Cook's name is now quite well established, and his individuality will predominate in view of the success of his establishment. Among the graduates from Bradford academy at Hayerhill, Mass., in this year's class was Portia Washington. She is the first woman of the race who has ever received a diploma from Bradford academy, one of the oldest seats of learning in the United States. Robert Stark, colored, was shot and instantly killed Tuesday afternoon in Phillip Fairchild's saloon at North Venice, Ill. The shot was fired from the outside through an open window. The police have two suspects under arrest. This is the third killing in Fairchild's saloon since January 1. Delaware, O., June 20.—The ball team of the University of Kentucky was to have played with the Ohio Wesleyan College Club here today, but when the play was called and the visitors found the catcher of the local team was a colored man they refused to play and left the grounds. Booker T. Washington has been notified by Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb., that $500 of the und left in trust by the late Philo S. Bennett, of New Haven, Conn., has been set apart by him as trustee for the purpose of aiding poor and deserving Negro boys in obtaining an education at Tuskegee. At Guthrie, Okla., while Jim Ballard, a fisherman, was running his trout line across the Cottonwood river, he found the dead body of Washington McCoy color- ed, attached to one of the hooks. McCoy had been arrested for creating a rough house, but escaped and ran toward the river. It is supposed that on his flight he fell into the river. John Washington, a 12-year-old Negro boy, who claims to have been kidnapped from his home in St. Louis by a white woman, has been returned to St. Louis by the authorities at Carnegie, Okla. The authorities located the boy's mother in St. Louis and she forwarded a ticket for his return. For six months Washington has been living with the Comanche Indians. New York, June 20.—An interesting alleged fact came to Police Commissioner McAdoo today by way of the complaints of some Negroes who are discontented because white women are not allowed by the police to enter saloons where Negroes drink. Negroes look upon this as unjust discrimination. A Negro lawyer, in writing to the Commissioner about it, said 2500 Negroes in New York had white wives. Paducah, Ky., June 15.—Walter G. Taylor, timekeeper for the W. J. Olliver Construction Company, was probably fatally shot by an un-known Negro at Wickliffe. The Negro was drinking from a faucet where white men got their water when Taylor ordered him to desist. Refusing, the white man struck the Negro, who pulled a pistol and shot him. A posse is in pursuit, and if the Negro is captured he will be lynched. Taylor was removed to Memphis, Tenn. Waco, Texas., June 27.—The longest prison sentence in legal history was decreed here by a jury when Lee Robertson, a Negro, was given "one thousand and one years in the state penitentiary." Robertson was convicted of attacking a white woman. When the sentence was announced by the jury the crowd in the courtroom cheered loud and long, despite all efforts of the judge and his officers to preserve order. Many are the jocular remarks made by citizens today on the peculiar sentence, some speculating on his chance of serving all of it; others have laid wagers on the length of time he will live. Colorado Springs, Colo., June 27.—Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, a well-known colored woman of this city, is fast making a reputation as a hymn writer, and within the past few months has turned out some very creditable compositions. Her latest is a federation song for colored women and is entitled "Onward" Mrs. Carter is also the author of "City of Sunshine," and NO. 40. she has composed a number of poems, among them being "Only a Little Bootblack," "Emancipation Day," "The Man Behind His Race," a tribute to Booker T. Washington, and "A President and a Man." In addition to these Mrs. Buckner has written a number of clever short stories. Norfolk, Va., June 24.—Four Brazilian naval officers from the taining ship Benjamin Constant, who are dark skinned, were mistaken for Negroes by several white men in the dinningroom of the hotel and requested to be served in dinner. Objections to their presence were immediately made known, one of the dinners going so far as to leave his table. The clerk assured the protestants that the gentlemen were of Spanish decent and not Negroes, but that was not convincing. The officers, realizing that they were the subjects of the discussion among some of the other patrons, arose from their seats and withdrew. In that way the incident closed. Speaking of the Negro banks of Richmond, Va., the Times-Democrat of June 14th says: "Richmond has four Negro banks, conducted and patronized exclusively, by this race, and judging by the last statement of these institutions to the State Corporation Commission all are in properous condition. The following figures will be a revelation to the whites of the city showing the thrift of the other race in Richmond and vicinity; Saving bank Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, (established April 3, 1889), $528,754134; St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, (established Nov. 2, 1903), $41,31523; Mechanics Savings Band, (established Jan. 1, 1902) $74,247.21; Nickel Savings Bank, (established May, 1896) $15,621. These four Negro organizations are among the strongest of their kind among the, Negroes of the country." Chicago, June 18.—Led by an unidentified woman, large, mascular and with red hair, a mob tonight sought the life of a colored man who had been mistaken for a strike-breaker. The crowd was withheld from its purpose only by the strenuous use of clubs in the hands of a squad of policemen. "Hang him, men! Hang the rat!" cried the women to the crowd of men who had surrounded the Negro at Forty-seventy street and Ashland avenue. She sent a boy for a rope, but before the messenger returned the police from Deering street station were on the scene. As it was, the Negro, Chas. Tull, was beaten and kicked severely by the crowd before the blue-coats, breaking through the mob with drawn clubs and revolers, could rescue him. Bleeding from a score of wounds, Tull was taken to the county hospital. With a white man and a Negro, Richard Mahoney, Tull had just arrived from Iowa. The three were on their way to a rooming house, when a boy, mistaking them for strike-breakers, hooted them. The white man and Mahoney ran, and after a chase of several blocks, escaped.

SENATOR PATTERSON TO BE CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT Proceedings to Be Instituted by State Bar Association—For Articles and Cartoons Criticising Supreme Court Decision in Case of Denver County Officers. Denver, June 30.—The News this morning says: At the request of Chief Justice Gabbert and Judge Goddard of the Supreme Court a majority of the grievance committee of the State Bar Association met on Wednesday evening, to consider the request of the above named judges that the committee recommend that contempt proceedings be instituted against Senator Patterson, for articles and cartoons printed in the News and the Times relating to the court's recent charter and other decisions and actions. The meeting was a stormy one, and though Lucius W. Hoyt favored recommendations for both disbarment and contempt proceedings, the resolution about disbarment was voted down unanimously. The question of contempt was then taken up, and after a heated discussion a resolution to the effect that certain of the editorials and cartoons justified proceedings for contempt—though the resolutions, as the News is informed, did not mention Senator Patterson by name. The meeting lasted until nearly midnight, and developed much opposition to any action whatever, but as there was a majority of the committee for reporting in favor of proceedings for contempt, all of the committee present finally united upon the modified resolution that was adopted. There were two representatives from the attorney general's office present, who at times participated in the discussion. It may be mentioned in passing that Judge Goddard is president of the State Bar Association. It was stated at the meeting by those who represented the judge's wishes that they desired favorable action from the committee, that the court might have the moral backing such action would give, and that the court intended to proceed, whether the committee acted favorably or not. It was generally understood that the papers were being prepared in the attorney general's office yesterday, and they will probably be served to day. When the above facts were communicated to Senator Patterson yesterday afternoon by the reporter he said to him: "I had arranged to go to Boulder county to-morrow on business, but I will cancel the appointment and remain here, that service may be had upon me at the earliest possible moment." When asked as to whether the proceedings would interfere with his Philippine trip, he said: "I don't know; that, of course, will remain with the Supreme Court. It is not very important that I should go, yet I have wished to go, to learn what I could by personal investigation of conditions in our trans-Pacific possessions. I will not demur, however, if the court takes action to interfere with the trip. The party with Secretary Taft will pass through Cheyenne in a special train on Sunday evening, and I had arranged to join them there. "Of course," continued Senator Patterson, "I will promptly comply with any citation from the court. As to the articles complained of, I am responsible for every one of them, and either wrote or approved of them. I believe they were fair and just criticism, and fully warranted by what has transpired. I will shirk no responsibility and endeavor as best I can to demonstrate my right to compose or approve and publish them. "Yes," he said, "I know that under the circumstances the tribunal to try me will be pretty much like a court martial, only there will be no reviewing court or officer or other tribunal to interfere with whatever the court shall decide. I consider the proceedings against me as a direct assault upon the freedom of the press, and I shall defend that ancient and important prerogative of a free people with all my power. I should say no more now. Let the future tell the story." New C. & S. Extensions. Denver, June 30—Vice President and General Manager J. M. Herbert of the Colorado & Southern returned from New York Wednesday, bringing word that the directors had authorized the construction of two extensions of the system in northern Colorado, at a cost of about $150,000. One will extend northerly from Fort Collins toward Cheyenne, which will eventually be connected up to the Wyoming capital, and one running about fifteen miles in a northwesterly direction through the Cache la Poudre valley. Both roads will be completed in order to handle the fall crops, as they are designed to open up a rich agricultural region. "There is no truth in the report that the Colorado & Southern has purchased the Cripple Creek Central road nor are we negotiating for that road," said Mr. Herbert. Bonds to the amount of $17,000,000 have already been placed and the money will be used principally in the work of extending the Trinity & Brazos Valley line of the company in Texas. This line is now constructed from Cleburne to Mexia, Texas, and will be rapidly pushed on to Houston. An extension will also be built from Cleburne to Fort Worth. This line will be completed about January 1st. Yale Defeats Harvard New London, Conn., June 30.—The Yale varsity crew day afternoon wrested victory from Harvard in the annual four-mile race on the Thames by the length of an oar. After rowing for four miles with the shells lapping and the graceful prows zigzagging between strokes, the Yale boat crossed the finish line three-quarters of a length ahead of the crimson. Yale won by two and one-half seconds. The blue time was $22:33\frac{1}{2}$; Harvard's was 22:36. It is regarded as the finest race ever rowed by the rival colleges. COLORADO NEWS ITEMS The Western Passenger Association will grant excursion rates from all towns in Colorado to the state fair at Pueblo in September. Approximately 100 Texas girls who will spend two months in Colorado Springs and vicinity have rented Hagerman hall of Colorado College for the season. Campbell Summers, aged about twenty years, was killed by the breaking of a pole in a sort of merry-go-round arrangement at a Swedish picnic near Pueblo June 25th. President Lee De Forest of the wireless telegraph company of that name will be in Colorado Springs to personally superintend the construction of the system on the summit of Pike's Peak. The application of Edmund Kelley of Pagoda, Colorado, for permission to construct an irrigation ditch in the White River forest reserve has been approved by the Forest Service at Washington. The First National Bank of Granada, Colorado, has been authorized to begin business with $25,000 capital. Starr C. Gregory is president; Limburn Boggs, vice president, and James Mayfield, cashier. The premium list of the Colorado State Fair, beginning at Pueblo, September 1st, has been printed. There are a large number of premiums in all departments, calculated to bring out a fine display. James R. McClure, formerly a miner at Goldfield, Colorado, committed suicide at Trinidad June 27th by shooting himself through the head. He was fifty-five years of age and leaves a wife, son and daughter. Max Ruh, formerly editor of the Glasmik of Calumet, Michigan, has purchased the printing apparatus and good will of the Mir Publishing Company and will publish a weekly Austrian newspaper at Pueblo. A movement is on foot among the school people of Colorado to raise a fund sufficient to install, an educational exhibit at the Portland fair, the state board of managers not having money enough for this purpose. The University of Colorado has secured Prof. Saul Epsteen to fill the vacancy in the department of mathematics, caused by the departure of Prof. Arnold Emch, who has accepted a chair of mathematics in Switzerland. Charles O. Peters, the remaining one of the trio of Youngblood murderers, who was reprieved on account of alleged insanity, is said to be rapidly growing worse at Canon City and he is not expected to live more than a few months. The application of M. L. Moore, L. J. Smith, H. P. Forsythe, M. R. Handy and J. H. Rosdiger to organize the Morgan County National Bank of Fort Morgan, Colorado, with $50,000 capital, has been approved by the controller of the currency. The trade excursion of the Pueblo Business Men's Association will muster about 100 business men and brass band. They will leave Pueblo August 7th and return August 14th, including Durango, Montrose and other western slope towns. The Union Printers' Home in Colorado Springs, erected for old and indigent members of the International Typographical Union, is rapidly becoming crowded to its capacity, now having 137 inmates. The trustees have been notified of this condition. At the request of the members of the Grand Army the opening of the fall term of the public schools in Denver has been postponed one week, to September 11th, on account of the holding of the national encampment of the G. A. R, in Denver during the week of September 4th. Several members of the religious organization known as the "Jumpers" have been imprisoned and set to work on the rock pile at Colorado Springs for too noisy demonstrations on the streets. Their attorney in defending them said: "If Christ were in Colorado Springs to-day he would annoy some people. The logic which put these Jumpers in jail would place Jesus Christ on the rock pile if he were here." Judge B. B. Lindsey and Secretary J. T. Burns of the Colorado State Realty Association, who is also a member of the Portland fair commission, will make an effort to secure next year's convention of the National Association of Charities and Correction for Denver. The convention this year will be held at Portland, Oregon, July 15-17th. Judge Lindsey is a delegate and a member of the executive committee. Eight miles of the new beet railway owned by the Greeley, Eaton and Windsor sugar factories, connecting Windsor and vicinity with the Eaton country, were completed June 24th.

On June 25th the body of a man between sixty and seventy years of age was found in the sand in the Arkansas river about a half mile below the stock yards at Pueblo.

He was of medium height and wore a black suit, flannel shirt, and calfskin shoes with leather laces. The Rio Grande snow sheds and buildings on the summit of Marshall Pass caught fire on the afternoon of June 26th and were entirely destroyed. The sheds were about a mile in length and their burning damaged the track considerably, necessitating repairs before it could be used. Hon. James.B. Belford of Denver ha won his suit in the District Court at Colorado Springs against the W. G. Stratton estate for a balance claimed to be due him by Mr. Stratton for attorney fees.

To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 100 package contains 16 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Give to others the best you have and something better will come back to you.

Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary of His Graduation at Harvard—Greeted Simply as One of the Alumni. Cambridge, Mass., June 28.—Joining with his former college mates yesterday in celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the graduation of their class from Harvard, President Roosevelt returned to his alma mater not as the chief magistrate of the nation, but as a private citizen and a loyal Harvard alumnus. Although the ancient University of Harvard would have been glad to pay him all the honor due his high office, it was the President's request that he be regarded merely as a member of the class of '80 rather than as President of the United States. Nevertheless, students, alumni and the citizens of Cambridge united in giving him a hearty greeting as he drove through the streets of the city. The President's day was a busy one. Arriving at Boston at a quarter before 7 in the morning, he was driven to the Cambridge residence of Right Rev. William L. Lawrence, Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, where he is being entertained. The bishop is president of the Harvard Alumni Association. Breakfast was served at the bishop's home and among those present, in addition to the President and Private Secretary Loeb, were the president's son Kermit, who came from Groton school; President Charles W. Elliot of Harvard University, Judge Francis C. Lovell of the United States Circuit Court, and Rev. Samuel Crothers, pastor of the First Parish (Unitarian) Church of Cambridge. During the forenoon President Roosevelt visited the rooms of the Alpha Delta Phi Society, the Harvard stadium and the Chestnut Hill residence of George C. Lee, father of the President's first wife. The President was then driven to the Oakley Country Club in Watertown, where the class of '80 held an informal reunion and luncheon was served. A photograph of the class was taken and also a photograph of the members of the class who belonged to the same student dining club as did the President. Of the 166 members of the class of '80, 130 have registered at class headquarters, representing nearly every state in the Union. At night the President attended the banquet of the class of '80 at the Hotel Somerset in Boston. ARRESTED IN BOSTON. Colorado Mining Man Prosecuted by Creditors. Boston, June 28.—Henry W. Comstock, the mine operator who recently reported to the police that he had been robbed of securities valued at $120,000 from a Fall River boat, was held for the grand jury yesterday on the charge of larceny of two $1,000 bonds. Ball was fixed at $5,000. Mr. Comstock declared that he would make no endeavor to secure bondsmen and he was committed to jail. Mrs. Cora Frothingham of Atlantic, Massachusetts, is the complainant. James E. Hickey, manager of the United States hotel, and James Martin Gray, of New York, who have been appointed assignees of Comstock's property, to-day found $315,000 worth of stock of the Ute Creek gold mine, the Reta Alta copper mine and the Pactolus gold mine, all situated in Colorado, and notes for $15,000 secured by collateral of the stocks. The assignees have no definite knowledge of the amount of liabilities, but conjecture they will reach $300,000. The Reta Alta mine is the only one of the properties being operated, and it is said Comstock has invested $150,000 in this mine during the past eighteen months. It appears that Comstock has been doing a brokerage business in standard stocks, but no securities other than those of his Colorado mines were found in his safe. There are about sixty-five creditors in this state and almost all of these are women. Cannot Tax Franchises. Cleveland, Ohio, June 28.—In a decision rendered yesterday Judge Lawrence holds that the auditor of Cuyahoga county cannot place a valuation upon the franchises of several public corporations of this city when rating the holdings of these corporations for taxation. The suit was brought by the Cleveland Gas Light and Coke Company, the People's Gas Company and the Cleveland Electric Illumination Company to resist the collection of taxes on increased valuation of the respective franchises of the above named companies, the amount of increase being over $80,000,000. The decision holds that franchises are not tangible property and their value cannot be placed at a greater sum than that fixed by the Board of Revenue. Editors at Gunnison Tunnel. Denver, June 28.—A Montrose dispatch last night says: The Colorado Editorial Association concluded its meeting this afternoon and the editors and their wives departed for their homes this evening. The trip to the Gunnison tunnel this morning was participated in by over 100 people. After spending an hour in viewing the tunnel, the editors returned to Montrose and took up the concluding business of the session. A resolution was passed commending the advertising of Colorado done by the Denver & Rio Grande. Resolutions were also passed thanking the various railroads for courtesies extended. The thanks of the association also were tendered to the chamber of commerce and citizens of Montrose for their hospitality. Gen. W. J. Palmer has given $1,000 to the Colorado Springs Federation of Women's club for the construction of a club building, and a movement will shortly be launched to begin work on the site on North Cascade avenue, donated over a year ago by Mrs. Mary J. Els. CHASE IS IN COMMAND CHASE IS IN COMMAND REMOVAL PRONOUNCED ILLEGAL Denver, June 29.—According to an opinion handed down yesterday by Attorney General Miller, Gen. John Chase is brigadier general of the National Guard of Colorado, and the appointment by Governor Peabody of Col. Edward Verdeckberg last January to the position was illegal and void. Copies of the opinion were sent to Governor McDonald, General Chase and Colonel Verdeckberg's attorney late in the afternoon. Colonel Verdeckberg, it is understood, will at once institute quo warranto proceedings to oust General Chase, although Rice W. Means, Colonel Verdeckberg's attorney, declared last night that no decision as to further action had been reached nor would be until he had read the opinion, a copy of which he had not yet seen, and until it had been submitted to Colonel Verdeckberg, who is now in California. Governor McDonald said last night that he would let the entire matter rest now on Attorney General Miller's decision, as he understood the question was to be fought out in the courts whichever way the opinion had resulted. According to the attorney general, the entire question of the removal of General Chase by Governor Peabody hinges on the fact that while the governor had perfect right to remove the brigadier general of the National Guard of Colorado for cause and to appoint a successor, he was obliged by constitution, statute and army regulations to state the cause and to order forthwith a court martial to determine the merits of such cause. "We have gone into this matter at great length," concludes the opinion, "and we are unable to reach any other conclusion than that the order made by the governor on January 9, 1905, is void and therefore did not remove General Chase from the office of brigadier general; that the appointment of Colonel Verdeckberg to the position of brigadier general was illegal and void, because the law provides for only one brigadier general." The opinion further says: "The order of Governor Peabody provided for the removal of General Chase for cause. The authorities already cited from this state and others show that a removal for cause must be accompanied by a statement of the cause and notice and hearing. These essentials were not complied with in the attempted removal of General Chase, and the failure to do so renders the order void and of no effect, and its issuance did not in any manner operate to remove General Chase from the service." Rockefeller's Gift to Yale. New Haven, Conn., June 29.—When Frank B. Brandagee, the newly-elected United States senator from Connecticut, yesterday said in Yale class reunion that there was virtue in Yale to cleanse all the tainted money in the world he probably knew that John D. Rockefeller had given the university $1,000,000. News of the gift was not formally told to the alumni till the general meeting yesterday, when Prof. Arthur T. Hadley announced it as the main feature of his address. The 1,200 alumni in the room cheered wildly. They doubled their cheers when President Hadley told them that aside from the Rockefeller gift $1,250,000 had been raised during the present spring largely through the tireless efforts of Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the university secretary, who has canvassed the friends of Yale with a fine tooth comb for three months. Two of the pledges he has received are for $250,000 each. The Rockefeller $1,000,000 is the largest sum of money ever given to Yale. Frederick W. Vanderbilt two years ago gave the Sheffield Scientific School two dormitories which probably cost $1,500,000 at least. No statement of the cost was ever made. The late Cornellus Vanderbilt gave Yale in 1893 the most expensive dormitory in memory of his oldest son, W. H. Vanderbilt, who died when a Yale junior. This dormitory is said to have cost $1,250,000. Kuropatkin Not Killed. St. Petersburg, June 29.—The general staff announces that it has absolutely nothing to support the many wild reports that General Kuropatkin has been killed or has committed suicide and that a portion of the Russian army is surrounded. On the contrary, the staff reports that the Russians have achieved a considerable victory. According to information in possession of the staff the operations thus far have been in the nature of preliminaries for a general engagement, which has not begun. They regard the movement of the Japanese in Korea as being most serious, believing that it indicates their determination to drive a wedge northward and isolate and invest Vladivostok before the peace negotiations begin. There are indications that the Russians purpose to offer resistance at the Tumen river. President Cables Thanks. Cambridge, Mass., June 29.—After inspecting the Germanic museum yesterday President Roosevelt sent the following cable to Emperor William: "Combridge, Mass., June 28, 1905. "To His Majesty, the German Emperor, Berlin: "I have just been visiting at Harvard University and the Germanic museum, the foundation of which we so largely owe to your interest. "I take this occasion to thank you and through you the German people for the many acts of courtesy and kindness which in recent years have steadily brought closer together the German and American peoples. "This growing friendship between the two nations means much for the future welfare of mankind, and I wish to thank you personally for the efforts you have made to foster it. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." M. CATARRH OF STOMACH CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Miss Genevieve May, 1317 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind., Member Second High School Alumni Ass'n, writes: "Peruna is the finest regulator of a disordered stomach I have ever found. It certainly deserves high praise, for it is skillfully prepared. "I was in a terrible condition from a neglected case of catarrh of the stomach. My food had long ceased to be of any good and only distressed me after eating. I was nauseated, had heartburn and headaches, and felt run down completely. But in two weeks after I took Peruna I was a changed person. A few bottles of the medicine made a great change, and in three months my stomach was cleared of catarrh, and my entire system in a better condition."—Genevieve May.

New York claims that by 1910 it will have passed London in population and will be the largest city in the world. It is believed that the state census being taken at present will show that the city has passed the 4,000,000 mark. In 1901 London had a population of 4,536,541, while in 1900 New York had 3,427,202 people, not counting the population of Jersey City and the other populous suburbs on the New Jersey side. It would surprise nobody, except possibly the Londoners, if long before 1910 New York had become the largest city in the world. WHY THEY ARE HAPPY WHY THEY ARE HAPPY TWO NOTABLE REEOVERIES FROM EXTREME DEBILTY. Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listless all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. "I went to bed completely used up by my day's work, and when I got up in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kidneys got out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: "For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a physician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms connected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subject." Trouble had invaded this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. "I was utterly discouraged," said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be wonderfully successful. Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition, and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as I ever had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful) effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband-led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best'onic and regulator, they make pure, rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein live at 83 Gore street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere. The man who stands in his own light must expect to be thrown in the shade.

At the age of 13 he composed "Don Sanche," the tibretto of which was written by Theaulon, who, in the course of his career, was the author of 250 pieces for the stage, and by De Rance, who is not known to have made any other effort in dramatic literature. After four performances "Don Sanche" retired into the obscurity which befalls the majority of literary and musical efforts. The MS. was believed to have been destroyed in the fire at the Rue Lepelletier, but M. Jean Chantavoe has found the score in the Bibliotheque de l'Opera. It fills two volumes and contains in all 837 pages. Apparently "Don Sanche" is not a very original production. The music even of Liszt at the age of 13 could hardly be more than an echo. Nor does the tibretto exhibit any great amount of novelty, for the theme is taken from a tale by Florian who calls it Portuguese. Buddhist Superstitions. Japanese Buddhists have a word, "nazoraeru," which is translated by the dictionaries as "to imitate," but it has the esoteric meaning of "to substitute in imagination one object or action for another, so as to bring about some magical or miraculous result." An example of this is laying a pebble before the image of Buddha to show that you would like to build a temple in his honor if you were rich enough, and making a bookcase revolve which contains the 6,711 volumes of the Buddhist canon, and earnestly wishing that you had time to read them, by which you acquire the same merit in the eyes of heaven as if you did read them. The bookcase is fitted with a kind of capstan for the Do You Remember? Do you remember, little wife. How years ago we two together Saw naught but love illumine life In sunny days or winter weather? Do you remember how we two Would stare into each other's eyes. Till all the earth grew heavenly blue. And speech was lost in happy sighs? Do you another thing recall. That used to happen often then; How, simply passing in the hall. We'd stop to smile and kiss again? Do you recall while at the play The lovers' griefs brought us married? The lovers' griefs brought us dismay; Oh, we rejoiced when they were married. Ah, me, twas years and years ago When all this happened that I sing.

Now they want the party in the state to force municipal ownership on that city, whether the local parties want it or not. Home rule is a good thing from the Democratic standpoint, but only when it means Democratic rule. Eight months ago the Democratic leaders were clamoring for industrial and political tranquillity and repose that the state might go on growing and prospering about its business. Now that they have it they have met and publicly declared for political turmoil and agitation. When they get what they want they find they don't want it. STRENEOUS LIFE. Almost as a total population of Colorado the Negro stands off and feels that he is not in touch with the great strenuous life which is the heart of the present century's human existence. The world's problems are not ours. There are no problems for us except those touching the right and the opportunity to live. If we can be employed in some way and dragged along in the wake of the world's hurrying events, we will be half way content, at least. Such seems the position of the Negro race in Colorado, but, as a matter of truth, is there not a great, ardent life opening before this same Negro? Is there not a great business development awaiting an enlightened direction? Are there not great social, financial and political problems of racial unity world-wide in their application, appealing for recognition before the awakening Negro of to-day? Wealth getting is the first great motive with the Caucasian. Let it be so with the Negro. The money getting spirit carries enlightenment and civilization with it. Business is the watchword of to-day. Even with the field filled up and handicapped as it is here, 9,000,000 of people of our race are sufficient within themselves to create a volume of business of their own which would be more than respectable. But our business enterprises can easily take a peculiar advantage, providentially reserved, if they will, by seeking development on African soil. We are not talking of emigration. We are talking of business. The wonderful and sagacious information coming occasionally to the Negroes of this country from native sources, combines to present to us a special business phase of life, gigantic in its possibilities and reserved for and applicable to us alone. In our present poverty, this must sound like dream talk. But it is natural and therefore undoubtedly true. Men of faith, courage, patience, men of loyal race desire and strenuous energy are awakening among Ne groes to a realization of the auspicious providence, and heaven promises that this century will not close leaving the Negro, as now, an uncounted for factor in the world's development. THE NEGRO AS A CITIZEN. There are those in this country, who, because of their inborn prejudice to the Negro fail to see any qualities in him, worthy of commendation, or even, reciprocal respect. We submit that this class of our fellow citizens look through their jaundice glasses, and thus their sights are as delusive as their senses; let them pull off their jaundice glasses and look through the lens of common sense and calculate the Negro's worth in a common sence and practical way, the results of which will be so convincing, overwhelmingly convincing, that in the light of our present civilization, they will have more respect for the truth and the common sence of others than to make such unjust and unreasonable statements. The civilization by which we are envisioned is the outgrowth of Caucasian brain and achievements; but it has taken them thousands of years to develop it. They, in this country, point to their George Washington, their Webster, their Lincoln, their Blaine, their Reed and their McKinley as statesmen. They point to their Grant, their Lee, their Sheridan, their Sherman and their Dewey as warriors. They point to their Beecher, their Bascomb as great preachers and pulpiteers. But they are the product as we have said of years and years of training. Now, let us see if the Negro has shown any efficiency along the line above mentioned. First of all, is he a soldier and is he capable of material prowess? We refer you to the war records of this country dating as far back as the Revolutionary war. As great preachers, and thinkers, we point with pride to Turner, to Grant, to Price and to Bishop Moore. As statesmen, we point to Douglass, to Bruce and to Richard Harvey Cain. As lawyers, we point to T. McCant Stewart, J. L. Mitchell, Lee, and Morris. As merchants, we point to R. J. Palmer, Irving Miller, and scores of others. As doctors, their name is "legions," because they are many. In this particular profession it appears that the Negro has made unparalleled progress, for he does the entire practice or very nearly so, of his race. Now, all this has been done within forty years. The comparison is a good one, and any fair minded man will so conceive. This has been done too, under the most adverse circumstances. Of course we have been helped by a few white men and women, but the great majority of the whites have fought the Negro's progress in every conceivable way; despite this, however, he gradually rises, and will continue to do so, for he is stronger now than he was forty years ago. Let his motto be, Trust in God and do the right.—Sunday School Monitor. LUCK IN THE HORSESHOE Legend of St. Dunstan the Origin of the Popular Belief. The origin of belief in "horseshoe luck" is so ancient that it never has been determined with certainty and no superstition is more universal. Ever since horses began to wear shoes those crescents of iron have been accounted luck emblems by all peoples, races and nations that have been acquainted with their use. In England, up to comparatively recent times, horseshoes were extensively used almost everywhere as antiwitch charms and the custom is not even yet an extinct one. No witch, it used to be said, could enter a building over the door of which a horseshoe, or better still, three horseshoes, had been affixed, prongs downward. The origin of this particular belief is referable to the old legend of St. Dunstan. This versatile ecclesiastic was a skilled farrier and one day while at work in his forge the evil one entered in disguise and requested Dunstan to shoe his "single hoof." The saint, although he at once recognized his malign customer, acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged him to desist. This Dunstan did, but only after he had made the evil one promise that neither he nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his servants would ever molest the inmates of a house where a horsehoe was displayed.

As it happened, the trip paid me pretty well, besides clearing up the dollar-bill mystery. "An aged negro near Ocala had forty acres of land, for which he was asking $30 an acre," continued the raconteur. "We had haggled over the price for a week when a Florida friend of mine advised offering him $10 an acre cash down in bills of smallest denomination. It took some time to gather so many one-dollar bills in that community, but finally, with an imposing roll in my grip, I called on the obdurate landowner. One glance at the pile which accompanied my offer for the land was enough for him. He actually signed the transfer as though fearful that the bargain would slip through his fingers."—New York Times. Reno of the Silver State Reno, the metropolis af the state of Nevada, says the Sunset Magazine, has nearly all of the elements and adjuncts which have brought about the building of cities in other portions of our country. Nature has placed the stamp of approval upon its location. It has a territory of its own, great in extent and varied in resources. It is not at all overshadowed by the proximity of any other large commercial center. Sacramento, the nearest, is 150 miles distant, and separated from Reno by the Sierra. This mountain barrier effectually blocks the building of eastern and western lines of railway. The first and admittedly the shortest and best transcontinental steel highway from the east to west passes through Reno. The only other practical pass through this mountain wall is about thirty miles to the north, and from the nature of the case no competitor can arise in that direction. South through Nevada into California, and north through Nevada and California into Oregon, in the territory lying to the east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Reno has and can have no rival. ```markdown ``` J.

The Grand Union, the largest summer hotel in the United States, set among green trees with its long wings enclosing a court with fountains and flowers, grass and trees, music and light, is throughout the season thronged with guests. With the progressive spirit always shown by its management, the Grand Union has again added to its attractiveness by introducing acetylene gas to make still more brilliant the evening hours. The genial proprietors believe in furnishing their guests with the best of everything, and now, after investigating and finding that Artificial Sunlight can be had, they have installed a complete acetylene gas plant to produce it, and have connected upwards of six thousand acetylene burners in and about the house and grounds to this little gas plant. Like many discoveries of recent years, which are coming into popular favor, acetylene, one of the most recent, is very simply produced. It is adapted for use wherever artificial light is needed and the necessary apparatus can be understood and operated by anyone. The generator in which Acetylene is produced by the automatic contact of carbide and water might be termed a gas plant, as it performs all of the functions of a city gas plant. The acetylene generator can be purchased for a few dollars and in any size, from one adapted to furnish acetylene to ten or a dozen burners for a cottage, up to the large but still simple machine such as is now furnishing Acetylene for six thousand burners in the Grand Union. Outside of large cities the use of Acetylene is quite common. The owner of the country home now demands running water, gas and other conveniences which a few years ago were considered as luxuries, and acetylene gas has met his requirements, and gives him a better and cheaper light than is ordinarily furnished in cities. It is well known that rooms lighted with Acetylene are more comfortable, because cooler, and more healthful because the air is not vitiated. When a girl under twenty-five declares she will never marry, she hopes she isn't telling the truth. UNSIGHTLY BALD SPOT. Caused by Sores on Neck—Merciless Itching for Two Years Made Him Wild—Another Cure "For two years my neck was covered with sores, the humor spreading to my hair, which fell out, leaving an unsightly bald spot, and the soreness, inflammation and merciless itching made me wild. Friends advised Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after a few applications the torment subsided, to my great joy. The sores soon disappeared, and my hair grew again, as thick and healthy as ever. I shall always recommend Cuticura. (Signed) H. J. Spalding, 104 W. 104th St., New York City." A good many moving spectacles are due to heartless landlords.
