Lee of the A. M. E. Church, Addresses Large Audience at Sunday Alliance. Purity of Man as Essential as that of Woman. VOL. XI. Influence of Bishop B. F. Lee of the A. M. Audience at Sunday All Essential as t Followingtn an address deliver- ed before the People's Sunday Al- liance last Sunday by Bishop B. F. Lee of the Ninth Episcopal district of the A. M. E. church: "I have heard of the gentleman who objects to the influence of the home as it is now conservatively understood, I differ with him and do not believe that we can dispense with the home or the religious and moral influence that it exerts upon the life of the child who is properly reared there and who gets his ideals and his standards of conduct from the ethics portrayed in the life of the higher type of motherhood. "As a people we are said not to have the essential qualifications that constitute a home. There may be some truth in a certain phase of this statement, for it must not be forgotten that it takes time to build up character, and we know that not so very long ago the influence and teachings of our people, and all the instincts that might lead to respecting the sacredness of a home were never given an opportunity to develop in a wholesome and natural way except on rare occasions. "There are many things said of the Negro by people who have little knowledge of his training. There are a great many of these which have a go, and we can afford to let them go for we cannot afford to seize upon the line of procedure of a thousand years ago and expect to improve upon that basis. "The Negro is imitative, but so are all, except a few exceptionally great leaders. Education itself is imitative. The Negro is too young in the grasp of civilization to be anything but a follower. Many people for whom God never took time to curl their hair when he made them, spend a great deal of time curling it. But none of these things count in the great scheme of progress. "What we must realize is that the men who have made our literature, who have fought bravely in the great causes that make civilization, are not the products of the churches, or of politics or of any one social or industrial movement, but they are the products of the home cradles. "It is the exercise of brain that makes brain just as the exercise of muscles makes brawn, and all these great leaders have secured their stability and their great purpose of life at the fireside. "Some writers and thinkers say that we must have the women pure but I say that we must have both the man pure and the woman pure. Pure men are rare, but that is no reason why they should not struggle for that self-control, and man gets the power to carry on this struggle from the home. It is through the mother, who expands and holds him around the fireside and gives him the confidence which makes for these higher ethical standards. "A man without the training of the public school is unfortunate, but a man without the training of a home is pitiable. We must have a regard for women and the ideals of the Negro should be the home and purity. Do not let the idea that you are black have anything to do with your point of view of what you hope to attain. So strive to make yourself morally and physically clean and pure that people will forget what the color of your skin may be." Growth of Class Privileges. No sooner does the virus of caste distinction penetrate a nation's vitals than good and evil in that nation come to be judged from the point of view of the privileged classes alone. Particularly is this altered viewpoint noticeable in the United States in matters of education. How shall the children of servants be trained? Once we said, as men; now we whisper, as servants, and then we shall have better service. How shall the children of mechanics be trained? As carpenters, we are beginning to think, and then we shall have better homes. This logic seems sound, and it is sound if house service and houses are the sole objects of National life, but are they? It is perfectly obvious to the mistress that good house service is sadly needed, but is it so obvious to the servant that her life's horizon should be limited to the combing of an old woman's hair? It is true that you want good houses in which to enjoy life, but has the artisan no right to some enjoyment of life outside the privilege of building houses for you? Here lies the eternal danger of class hierarchy and caste—a danger which in the past has ruined lives, overturned governments and buried civilizations. Today this noxious weed is springing up in America, right here in a land founded as a mighty protest against such world foolishness. It is allowed to grow but DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1905. slightly molested, because its victims today are largely black people. But let us not be lulled by this fact into false security. The Negro problem is but the sign of growing class privilege and caste distinction in America and not, as some foundly imagine, the cause of it. RACE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. The Negroes of Little Rock, Ark., own $1,000,000 worth of real and personal property. While quarreling with her hus band, Esther Jones, colored, of Ft. Worth, Texas, stabbed him in the heart with a dirk, killing him instantly. Charles Duke, a recent graduate of Harvard University, has been given a position as civil engineer by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. It is currently reported that Gov. Higgins of New York has settled upon George E. Wibecan, colored, a clerk in the Brooklyn postoffice and graduate of Heidelburg University in Germany, for inspector of racing accounts, the position recently vacated by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, now collector of internal revenue. The salary of Mr. Wibecan's new job is $1500 per annum with an allowance of $50 for traveling expenses. "A well-to-do Negro in a certain section of the South," says the Southwestern Christian Advocate, "recently bought an automobile, but he was promptly waited upon and told that that town would not permit a Negro riding in an automobile. He was ordered to return the machine, and this he did promptly. Comment is unnecessary. This reminds us of the fact that there is a section of the country where Negroes are not allowed to carry hoisted umbrellas, and still another section where top buggies are not permitted to be used by Negroes." Muskogee, I. T., July 23.—One of the best educated Negroes in the United States was recently in Muscogee on business. His name is Hambel Carrington of Clarksville, and probably he is the only Negro in the United States who is a graduate of Oxford College, England. He was born in South America, where he graduated at the Nationional College at Rio de Janeiro, completing his education at Oxford. Carrington is a linguist, speaking five languages fluently—Spanish, English, French, German and Italian. In addition to this, he has picked up consider- able of the Creek Indian language since becoming a resident of the territory. He has made a careful study of the American Negro and will compile a work on the subject. He does not propose to make this his permanent home. He has made a careful study of the American Negro and will compile a work on the subject. Quickly Settled. Pittsburg, Pa., July 22. A two-day strike of white girls employed in the office of A. J. Logan & Co., mattress makers, has ended, although Estella Wells, a colored girl against whom they struck, is still employed in the office, wearing real enffs and high heeled shoes, while the white girl strikers are sewing rags back in the shop in the same old way. Two days ago one of the white girls reported seeing a Negress working as a stenographer. A committee of the white girls demanded that the colored girl, whoever she was, be discharged, saying that they were not willing to slave in the sewing shop while a Negress was employed in the office. Superintendent R. B. Harrison told them the firm had employed Estella Wells, late of the Pittsburg High school, to do office work, and would keep her. If the white girls didn't like this they could go. There was a strike lasting thirty six hours, during which time all the white girls were discharged. Yerterday most of the girls came back, and on assuring the superintendent that they didn't care if he employed a Malay in the office, were reinstated. The open transaction and firm stand taken by the proprietors of this firm deserves gaet consideration. Because this young colored girl was employed as stenographer in this concern is no reason why these white girls should strike, simply because they were white and this girl colored. If this stand was taken by all business firms in this country it would soon put an end to the idea that people must be white in order to accomplish anything, and people would have to look to worth and merit, instead of color. The sooner that class of white people who dote upon living upon color are ostracised and left alone and better it will be for the American people. That class may as well come to this now, for they will have to later on. The great God of the universe will not always stand these outrages, for it is written, "He will not strive with man alway." The young lady is holding her position and will continue to do so because she gives satisfaction to her employers and that is all that is required. Let our brothers in white consider merit and not color. Negro Rules Metropolitan City. Thomas E. Postles Controls the Political Situation at Wilmington, Deleware. Holds the Balance of Power in the City Council. Wilmington, Del., August 1.— "Postels." That is the biggest name in Wilmington to-day. Here "Postles" is pronounced with a chuckle, a wag of the head and a slap of the knee, there "Postles" is accompanied by a grinding of teeth and a horrid rolling of the eyeballs—but it's all "Postles." Thomas E. Postles, Negro, is the boss of the Wilmington city council, and as a result there is fury in the Republican breasts such as has not been known in years, while Democrats are doing hornpipes and drinking the health of the mighty Postles. By some flunk,which no one can explain, the Negro was elected, as an Addicks Republican at the recent election, and coming into the council under the flag he did he was expected to be properly humble and to vote as he was told. Had he done so the Democratic officeholders would have been turned out, for, counting Postels, the new council consisted of seven Republicans and six Democrats. Now, however, it consists of six Republicans, six Democrats and Postles. Last night Postles bolted the Republican caucus and in a subcellar conference made a deal with the Democrats—and here begins the explanation for the gnashing of mclars. The result of the alliance was the election of five of Postles' nominees for city jobs, two of them being Negroes and one of these Postles' own son, Joseph E., who was made city treasurer's clerk. The other Negro was George W. Anderson, bailiff of the council. Postles permitted three white men to get in under his banner. He made Daniel F. Stewart coal oil inspector, Benjamin A. Spence city auditor and Joseph C. Moore market clerk. With great magnanimity the new boss allowed the Democrats to keep in office Council Clerk Monaghan and City Auditor's Clerk Connell. "But, look here, you Democrats," warned Postles, "if you try and skulloodelin tricks on me I'll go back to my Republican friends, and I'll have Bohnell and Monaghan fired bodily." The rage of the Repuhlicans is uncanny to witness. All their caucus nominees were ingloriously beaten and their fury is rebounding from Postles to Gas Addicks, whose follower, the Negro is, apparently putting farther away than ever the chances of John Edward for the seat in the Unitdd States senate he so long has coveted. NO. 45. The anger of the Republicans only causes the new council boss to roar with laughter. He doesn't care what the councilmen do. "I got the whip," he says, chuckling. "Those Republicans and Democrats will never work together. I'm the boss of all those white men." The particularly repugnant thing to the Republicans is the giving of the treasurer's clerkship to Postles' son. In this they declare they will defeat him, and a subscription has been started to hire a white man to do the work of the office, keeping young Postles out, though he must get the salary, $400. White school teachers are up in arms and threaten not to accept their checks if they are made out by young Postles. Bears a Charmed Life An interesting figure connected with the explosion on the Bennington in the harbor at San Diego on July 21st, is J. H. Turpin, gunner's mate, who has the distinction of coming through two such scenes in safety. Turpin was on board the Maine when the explosion took place in the harbor of Havana, resulting in the loss of many of the crew. He was also on the Bennington on Friday and the dispatches state that he was uninjured. As soon as the news was received at Mare Island that the Boilers on the Bennington had exploded, resulting in large loss of life, the old jackies who knew Turpin were anxious to know if he escaped again. When they were told that he had not been injured in any way they unanimously declared that his life was charmed, and that it was impossible to kill him by any out-of the ordinary means. Turpin is a Negro, and was born in New York state. His mother resides at Long Beach, N. Y., and he is said to have a wife who is at present in California. He is a gunner's mate of the second class, and is now serving his second term with Uncle Sam, having reenlisted at Mare Island on October 13, 1903, after having then served seven years in the navy. Grapes as Diet. Many well-known physicians insist that to eat and repeat the performance three or four times a day will work wonders with thin, nervous anaemic people who are prone to worry and whose digestion is out of order. All we know is that the grape has wonderful gastric virtues and is perhaps the most digestible fruit in existence. Washington, away out here in the "far west," spends more money for educational purposes, in proportion to its population, than any other state in the Union. While, as shown by statistics recently issued by the national commissioner of education, the average per capita expenditure for education in the United States is $3.15. Washington spends nearly twice that amount, or $6.16 per annum.—Bellingham (Wash.) Revelle. ASK FOR H. F. BUSSEY'S BREAD Dr. P. E. Spratlin, Office, 49 Good Block, Telephone Red 808.

DOWERY, Prop. 2645 Welton St. Phone 821 Black LOUISIANA IS INVADED LOUISIANA IS INVADED QUARANTINE CAUSES TROUBLE Miseissippi Fever Quarantine Boats Invade Louisiana Waters—Serious Trouble Threatened. New Orleans, Aug. 2.—The relations between the states of Louisiana and Mississippi have reached an acute stage, and from indications at present it will change from interviews about the concealment of cases to a much more serious matter. The dignity of the state of Louisiana has been offended by an armed invasion from the sister state, and this morning Governor Blanchard communicated with the captain of the naval brigade, which has a fully-equipped gunboat, with a view of having it dispatched to the borders to protect Louisiana citizens from further indignities. Mississippi has five armed boats patrolling the coast to prevent fishermen from breaking through the quarantine lines. These vessels are also assisted by the United States revenue cutter Winona. The Mississippi boats will not allow Louisiana fishermen to enter Mississippi sound, east of St. Joe Light, but it appears that one of these patrol boats came into Lake Borgne, which is distinctly Louisiana territory, and one report says it came up to the mouth of Lake Borgne canal, which extends from the lake to the Mississippi river, a distance of only four and a half miles. The naval brigade vessel Stranger draws too much water for service in that vicinity, but a light-draft boat will be impressed into service, armed with a howitzer or two and manned by officers from the brigade, and will be sent out to prevent further aggressions. Some of the territory now patrolled by the Mississippi boats is now in dispute before the Supreme Court of the United States, both states having laid claim to it since the Legislature of Louisiana created an oyster commission and passed laws to protect the valuable oyster beds in that vicinity. A Memphis special says: A clash between the Mississippi and Louisiana authorities over quarantine regulations is imminent. A private dispatch was received in the city yesterday stating that Mississippi soldiers employed as quarantine guards, had invaded Louisiana with arms and that boats were patrolling the mouth of Rigolet's lake and Pearl river, off the Louisiana coast, to prevent Louisiana boats from leaving. Colorado State School Fund. Denver, Aug. 2.—There will be distributed among the schools of the state the sum of $78,122.41 from the state school fund this year. This money comes from the management of the state school lands by the land board and arises from the sale of land or from leases. The total fund was $80,784, but $2,661.80 were used in expenses. The fund is distributed among the counties according to school population following census taken annually by the county superintendents. It will be interesting to not that some of the counties of the state draw less than $100 from the fund, showing that their school population is extremely small. As the amount drawn from the fund depends upon the showing made, it is safe to say that no child escapes enumeration. Following is the distribution by counties, as apportioned by State Superintendent Katherine Craig; Denver $19,978.53 Adams 733.97 Apachehoe 474.36 Archuleta 378.85 Baca 104.76 Bent 455.12 Boulder 3,001.24 Chaffee 833.09 Cheyenne 64.26 Clear Creek 773.56 Cajun 1,449.14 Coastilla 658.76 Custer 312.68 Delta 1,319.09 Douglas 154.46 Douglas 319.09 Eagle 306.05 Elbert 448.45 El Paso 4,931.34 Fremont 2,184.90 Garfield 912.36 Gilipin 705.08 Guild 87.06 Gunnison 75.06 Hinsdale 93.03 Huerfano 1,530.87 Jefferson 1,446.49 Kuwait 153.74 Rit Carson 253.50 Lake 1,213.50 La Plata 1,158.21 Landover 2,028.72 Las Animas 3,662.15 Lincoln 144.71 Logan 451.45 Mesa 144.98 Mineral 173.65 Montrose 864.65 Montezuma 436.31 Morgan 384.11 Otero 1,929.16 Ouray 414.48 Park 271.98 Phillips 323.84 Pitkin 702.88 Prowers 827.90 Pueblo 6,447.13 Rio Blanco 447.48 Rio Grande 692.59 Routt 606.06 Saguache 524.83 San Juan 179.38 San Miguel 370.93 Sedgwick 128.44 Summit 179.30 Teller 2,210.16 Washington 781.70 Weld 2,925.88 Yuma 633.63 Normal school 309.98 Reception to Mitchell.

Czar Talks Warlike. London, Aug. 2.—A dispatch to the Times from St. Petersburg says that another imperial telegram, even more warlike than the Emperor's reply to the Orenburg clergy, appears in today's Official Messenger. The Emperor, replying to the address from Khabirouk, heartily approves the recommendation to continue the war until the enemy is crushed, and above all not to think of cession of territory or payment of an indemnity.

RIOT AT GIRLS' SCHOOL OUTBREAK OF INCORRIGIBLES Pandemonium in Colorado Industrial School for Girls—Dishes Smashed and Stampede Made for Liberty. Denver, Aug. 1.—The Republican this morning says: There was another strenuous evening at the State Industrial School for Girls near Fort Logan last night. When it was all over there were eight girls missing and a lot of damaged furniture in the dining room of the institution. According to Superintendent Mencimer of the home, the same girls who were responsible for the other outbreaks started the dash for liberty last night. It occurred shortly after 7 o'clock, when dinner was being served. Suddenly, at a signal from nowhere in particular, the tablecloth was raised and the dishes thrown unceremoniously on the floor. At the same instant there was a rush for the door. Miss Harcourt, the only officer in the room, pulled her revolver and yelled to the rioters that they must be good. But yelling was futile, also a bullet which Miss Harcourt sent skyward in a vain effort to stop the surging tide of angry girls. There were five men scattered about the home, all armed. Just where they were at the crucial moment when the inmates made their wild break does not appear, but an instant later they were all on hand. Their presence, however, did not deter the fugitives, but seemed to spur them in their flight. Something like a dozen of the girls got away, but the leaders were all caught. Those who started the tumult are said to have been Florence Youngblood and Maud Clayton, who figured conspicuously in the escapade at the home a few weeks ago. These two were caught before they had gone more than a few feet from the home and were relegated to dark cells to repent of their action. The rest of the flying squadron made for the fort, where friendly gallants were expected to be. Instead, several army officers were encountered and a number of the girls were captured and led back to the home. Where the rest went to the officers of the home did not know last night. Several belong in Denver and it is supposed that they made for this city. "It was all done so quickly that we had no time to prepare for it," said Superintendent Mercer last night. "We had no warning and the girls had all the chance possible to get away. The fact that Miss Harcourt was armed probably saved a lot of damage to the furniture, as well as to herself. "There are a few of the girls who instill rebellion in the others and make them go whether they want to or not. We expect no more trouble. Some of the girls are probably about the fort now. We expect to recapture them all in the morning. Those who are here are all quiet and asleep." Bad Railroad Wreck. Denver, Aug. 1.—A Central City dispatch last night says: One of the worst wrecks in the history of the Central City and Black Hawk branch of the Colorado & Southern road occurred to a freight train at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon, causing the death of Engineer William Allen of Denver and John Ferguson, section boss, of Black Hawk. The accident happened on a reverse curve about one and a half miles below Smith hill and a mile west of Cottonwood, the engine leaving the track on the right side and falling down an embankment about twenty feet into a portion of the dry bed of North Clear creek, both cab and tender turning over, leaving the engine wheels up in the air. Engineer W. M. Allen and Section Boss John Ferguson were caught partly under the cab of the engine and their death must have been instantaneous, Allen being crushed about the head and upper part of the body, while Ferguson evidently was suffocated, being completely covered by sand and dirt. Engineer Allen, when uncovered, was still holding the broken end of the air valve, having stuck to his post to the end. Fireman Abe Golightly of Golden, a brother-in-law of Engineer Allen, escaped, being thrown about ten feet from the engine when it turned over, and escaping with a few scratches and minor bruises. General Superintendent J. H. Young believes that washing of water along the track weakened it and that this was the cause of the wreck. To Reproduce Custer Massacre. Portland, Ore., Aug. 1.—There have been spectacles and spectacles, but it is reserved for the management of the Lewis and Clark exhibition to create, perhaps, the most startling and interesting of all—a reproduction of the wiping out of Custer's band of United States regulars at the fight, on the Little Big Horn river, in the summer of 1876. This event, which has gone down into history as one of the great tragedies of warfare, will be given a setting as realistic as it is possible to make by employing real Indians and real soldiers to perform the sham battle tactics necessary. A band of 200 or more Umatilla Indians from the government reservation in Oregon will take the place of the bloodthirsty Sloux who killed General Custer and troopers. For Custer and his men the soldiers on the grounds will answer. The fight will take place on exposed ground in the exposition area, where it may be witnessed by all those in attendance August 10th. The Indians will press closer and closer until the last man falls and the tragedy is complete. Though no scalping will be done, as in the real massacre, the yells of the Indians and the cracking of their rifles will serve to make the scene thoroughly realistic. Unsettled State of Chili. Santiago, Chill, Aug. 1—Owing to the great division among political parties, the country has been without a government for two months. A dozen ministerial combinations have failed, and it is expected that in the critical situation President Riesco has called upon his personal friends to form a presidential ministry.

Denver, Aug. 2.—A News special from Grand Junction last night says: Registration for the opening of the untah reservation began here at 9 o'clock this morning, with over 1,000 persons in line, 300 of whom had remained up all night at the doors of the registry office. After 4:30 this afternoon 1,993 applicants for land has been recorded and the registry office was closed at that hour until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, for lack of applicants. The registration to-day demonstrated that the registry officials will easily handle the work here unless there be an unexpected number of excursionists rushed in at the last moment. Trains to Grand Junction to-day brought 900 people and whatever portion of these presented themselves at the registration office was cared for along with the others. The entry office can accommodate 3,000 applicants a day with ordinary effort, and a thousand additional in a pinch. Consequently the outlook is cheerful for an orderly, expeditious and satisfactory reception of all who come. It was estimated by the registry clerks that between 150 and 200 women registered to-day. Some applications by soldiers and sailors through agents were rejected because the forms had not been properly filled out. In most cases there is still ample time to rectify the errors and secure registration before August 12th, when the office closes. The speed with which the applicants were passed through the registry office, entered in the books and sent on their way astonished dubious people who had expected slower work and possibly a blockade. Before noon the rush was al over. At that hour there was a lull and the clerks ate lunch. When the office opened at 1 o'clock there were not more than 100 men in line. The arrival on the mid-day trains augmented these by 400, but in an hour or two the work had slackened again. The Midland train from Denver at 1:30 o'clock brought 300 land-seekers. The Denver & Rio Grande arriving immediately after the Midland, brought as many more. The Grand Junction station was alive with people when the passengers from both trains had disembarked. The land boomers moved uptown in a cloud of dust, afoot and in vehicles, accompanied by much clamor and excitement. Many of the prospective homeseekers who arrived in the morning took outbound trains as soon as they could get away. The railway station was a bustling place all day. Travelers are met at the depot by land agents loaded with Uintah literature, by notaries' agents seeking business, hotel runners and others, and from the moment they enter town all are subjected to all kinds of business proposals. The place thus far has had no trouble in accommodating all who have arrived. The temporary restaurants and bunkhouses are doing a rushing business. It is expected that the registry clerks will have no trouble to register all who come to-morrow. Captain Walhey and his staff are experts at their business, one of the force having a record of registering 1,100 men in one day. NEW LEADVILLE LINE Over Argentine Pass From Silver Plume. Denver, Aug. 2.—The Republican this morning says: A new railroad that will make a short line between Denver and Leadville and one that will reduce the distance between those cities from 151 to ninety-five miles, is under contemplation by the Colorado & Southern and is to be constructed soon, according to officials of that road. The new line will be narrow guage and will connect the present terminus at Keystone with the one at Silver Plume, thus cutting off a wide detour that is now necessary to reach Leadville from the eastern side of the mountains. E. J. Wilcox, a mining man, has made announcement that he intends to construct a narrow guage line from the C. & S. terminus at Silver Plume over Leavenworth mountain. This is to be the Argentine scenic route and will be nine or ten miles in length. The contemplated C. & S. extension will meet this on the western side of the mountains, thus forming a link between Silver Plume and Keystone. The entire distance to be covered by the proposed lines is less than thirty miles, but the new route by the Argentine pass is considered by C. & S. officials to be of much strategic importance, as it will be a much shorter way from Denver to Leadville than any other. Registration at Utah Points. Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 2.—Registration of applicants for land on the Uintah reservation was begun at 9 o'clock yesterday morning at Provo. Price and Vernal, Utah. At Provo registrations were made at the Parker school house and the Proctor academy. Exactly 441 applicants were in line at each place. There was no disorder. At Provo there were seventeen registrations in the first fifteen minutes and the registration proceeded quietly and with no exertement. The first to register at Provo was Mrs. Isabel Miller of Elsinore, Utah. If reasonably successful she proposes to go on the reservation and establish a home. She is fifty-eight years old and a widow. As she emerged from the booth Commissioner Richards took a snap shot picture of her. George Jaggers, seventy years old and a civil war veteran, was the first in line at the Parker school. Good order is being maintained. The saloons are open day and night, but there is little disturbance. No gambling is permitted. EQUITABLE IN COURT NEW YORK STATE BEGINS SUIT New York. July 31.—An action was instituted to-day by State Attorney General Julius M. Mayer in the Supreme Court of New York county, in the name of the people of the state of New York against the Equitable Life Assurance Society, its officers, directors and members of the executive and fiscal committees, all of which are named in the complaint. It charges that the society's funds have been grossly mismanaged and wasted by the officers and directors, and asks the court to compel them to make good all losses caused by their acts. It recites that when the Depew Improvement Company failed Senator Depew and associates promised to pay the difference between the loans from the Equitable and the amount realized from sale of the improvement company's property, but that the promise has not been kept. The defendants are the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and James W. Alexander, Louis Fitzgerald, Chauncey M. Depew, Henry C. Deming, Cornelius N. Bliss, George H. Squire, Thomas D. Jordan, Charles S. Smith, Valentine P. Snyder, Alvin W. Krech, William Alexander, John J. McCook, James B. Forgan, C. Ledyard Blair, Drayton Ives, Melville E. Ingalls, James H. Hyde, Alexander J. Cassatt, Jacob H. Schiff, James J. Hill, T. Jefferson Coolidge, Alfred G. Vanderblit, John Jacob Astor, William C. Vanhorne, Gage E. Tarbell, Marvin Hughitt, Charles B. Alexander, Thomas DeWitt Cuyler, Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Jose F. DeNavarro, Bradish Johnson, Joseph P. Lowe, John A. Stewart, Edward H. Harriman, Levl P. Morton, August Belmont, Darius O. Mills, Robert T. Lincoln, George J. Gould, John Sloane, George T. Wilson, Thomas T. Eckert, William H. Mcntyre, Henry M. Alexander, Henry C. Frick, Samuel M. Inman, Henry C. Hartick, David H. Moffat and Henry R. Winthron The complaint contains twenty-one sections and covers thirty-three pages of typewritten matter; refers to the Frick committee report and the investigation made by State Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks; is based on information and belief, and Attorney General Mayer in his prayer to the court says that action was brought on behalf of the people of the state of New York in the public interests and pursuant to the provisions of law. He therefore asks: "1—That the defendants, each of them, other than the defendant, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, account for their official conduct in the management and disposition of the funds and property committed to their charge. "2—That the individual defendants and each of them be compelled to pay the defendant, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, any money and the value of any property which they or any of them have acquired to themselves, or transferred to others or lost, or wasted, by a violation of their duties. "3—That any defendant or defendants now director or directors or officers in the defendant society, upon proof of misconduct, be removed, and that a new election be held by the board of defendant society purely authorized to hold same, in order to supply the vacancy or vacancies created by the removal. "4—That the net surplus of defendant society, after deducting a sufficient amount to cover all outstanding risks and obligations, be paid to, or credited to, or applied for the benefit of, the present policy holders in the Equitable in proportion in accordance with the charter and with the law. "5—That the plaintiffs have such other further relief as may be just, equitable and profitable." Czar's Message Commended. St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.—Emperor Nicholas' martial message to the Orenburgh clergy, in which he expressed his determination never to conclude a peace dishonorable to Russia or unworthy of her greatness, and which was gazetted yesterday, is reprinted in every paper in Russia to-day. It has struck a responsive chord in many quarters, even among the friends of peace. The emperor's words, however, by no means bear out the construction placed upon them by the jubilant war party, nor do they at all exclude the idea of a successful termination of the approaching negotiations at Portsmouth, but they certainly strengthen the militant spirit aroused by the cabled versions of the Sato interviews and the cold figures representing the supposed extent of the contribution to those demanded by Japan. Colorado Normal Institute. Denver, Aug. 1. This is the season for the State Normal Institutes and quite a number are now in session in the districts, or will be in the next few days.

Open Season for Birds. Denver, Aug. 1.—The open season in Colorado for doves begins to-day and lasts just fifteen days. The open season for sage hens also begins to-day, but that lasts until October 1st. At the office of Game Commissioner Woodard yesterday there was unusual activity, and Deputy Sparger issued nearly 100 hunting licenses. The licenses are good for a year and cost $1 to a resident of the state. The Market Co. 1633-35-37-39 Arapahoe Street. FIRST-CLASS Fresh and Staple and Fruits and Vegetable J. P.

Eotered as second-class matte at the pestoffice in the city of Denver. Colorado. For a Negro to control political appointments in a Metropolitan city is something quite out of the ordinary but such is the case at Wilmington, Delaware, where Thomas E. Postles, a Negro who was recently elected to the city council on the Republican ticket. with Postles the council is com- posed of seven Republicans and six Democrats, but Postles is now the “boss” of the whole bunch. Monday night he bolted the Re- publican caucas and made a deal with the Democrats and as a re- sillt five of Postles’ nominees were elected for city positions two of whom were Negroes his son Jos- eph E. was made clerk in the city treasurers office. Geo. Anderson will be bailiff of the Council. Postles is determined to make use of the situation of which he is in command as he is quoted as say- ing: “I got the whip. Those Re- publicans and Democrats will nev. er work tegether. I’m the boss of those white men.” A NEGRO STATE. The more we think about this subject the more we are convinced that it is not only possible, but that it would be an easy matter for the colored people to make Oklahoma and Indian Territory a state under their own control and management; where all the oppor- tunities and advantages of any other American would be _ theirs. That it was originally intended that these tracts of land were tc be held for the exelusive use of colored people and Indians is shown by the language of the treaty by which this land was ac- quired. ‘‘Freedmen and friendly Indians” is the term used in de- seribing those to whom the land was to be held for allotment. But as years went by the eye of the avaricious Caucasian fell on these woodlands and fertile prairies, and so ‘*Freedmen and friendly In- dians’’ was interpreted to mean “‘Priendly Indians and __ their freedmen.”” There were not enough of these to occupy this vast tract and so it opened for set- tlement. A large number of these were colored and all have proven their claims and the titles to them have passed to the individual own- ers. This territory is ecompara- tively new and contains no large cities, and because of this, prop- erty there is cheap as compared with this section of the country. Surely the right to buy real estate is not yet denied us. We confess that we should like to see 100,000 colored families buy property in that section of the country. This only requires a desire on the part of this number. It does not re- quire much foresight to see the numerous opportunities that would be before the colored young man or woman in such a com- munity. We believe that under the same circumstances any other race would gladly embrace such an opportunity to promote thei mutual interests.—Freeman. The Freeman voices the senti- ments of everybody who knows or has read anything of that see- tion of the country which has gone on record as the “‘Paradice for the Negro.’’ There is no little number of our people who have acquired property and aceumu- lated wealth in this fertile eoun- try, and they should be éneour- aged to hold on to it as well as to get more, as the time is not far when they will fill a big space in the business and commercial world. CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC LIFE. is indeed a timely slap to the men ‘high up in the financial world wha are bettering their financial condi- ‘tion by, the practice of graft. President Roosevelt with his big stick is hot on the trail of a bunch of such men and it is hoped by the honest public that he will be successful in paralyzing their ef- forts. There is perhaps nothing that retards the progress of the general masses more than that of corrupt financial deals. The News says: There is an old saying which many have denied, that every man has his price, but the disclosures that are being made from time to time in this country have proved to many that the saying is a true one. The News does not hold this theory. It believes that there are just as many honest men in the world now as there was a hundred /years ago, but it believes that the increase in population has largely ‘inereased the grafters. If there is any one thing that the American people have to fight and fight hard, it is grafting. If grafting is not put down, we ean expect that this country will go on the toboggan. No real progress towards things that are higher ean be made while men in business life and men in public life are grafters. Graft- ing has sprung up on all sides of us just now. We see men high up in the financial world, who are di- rectors in railroads and insurance companies, not satisfied with a legitimate per cent., engaged in all kinds of shady transactions with other people’s money in order that they may increase their own wealth, We see the trusts and big corporations buying city councils and legislatures as if they were so mueh merchandise. The men who do the buying are high up in the social seale, they are men who pro- fess the belief in the teachings of the lowly Nazarine, but they do not hesitate to approach a poor devil of a legislator or a council- man, who has not one spare dollar, and who is probably in debt, to sell out his honor and the inter- ests of his constituents, and for what purpose? Why, in order that big business corporations may amass greater amounts of money, pay their stockholders higher divi- dends and become the masters of the city or state. The heads of these corporations are apparently more willing to buy up the mem- bers of a city council or a state legislature than they are to pay the people as awhole for the priv- ileges they ask. In diseussing this question of graft, we are liable to vent all of our contempt on the poor wretch who has been caught selling his honor than we are to condemn the big business man who, free from want and care, with his millions invested in splen- did paying securities, surrounded bg all that money ean buy and so- cial distinction confer, has delib- erately gone to work to tempt a poor man who is struggling and who happens to have been elected to some public office of honor and trust. This man is a worse grafter than the man who sells his vote. There may be some human exeuse for the councilman selling his vote, if viewed in the light of merty, but there is none for the rich man who has been his downfall. He bought) him in order that he might get . ee 1 epee ee NS eR corrupt methods than he eould <t by bargaining with the represe:t- atives of the people on a basis of the publie good. Ka In the South we are pretty free from graft, but as we become wealthier and our resourees are explioted to a greater extent, we can expect that there will be more or less of this sort of thing in our own section. The only way: that it ean be put down is for pnblic opinion to come down as hard ov es bribe giver as the bribe taker | Chicago, Aug. 3—AI records for marksmanship in the ary 'were broken at Fort Sheridan ‘o. ‘day by Corp.

The Swedish and Norwegian girl of all work still holds her place in the popular demand. Coloring Antique Furniture. -_ On the tin roof of an eight-story double building in New York, occupied by a firm making a specialty of an- tique furniture, a familiar sight is fur- nished to occupants of neighobring ‘structures. Dozens of unstained rock- ing chairs stand on the roof. These rattan and wicker rockers gradually take on the right “antique” complex- fon by being exposed for several days. Obvious Enough. As people get educated they find the dulness of little villages intolerable; they long for something to look at, if it’s only a street fight or a penny gaff; and they're no longer content to work all the houré there are for 14s a week, to be racked with rheumatism at forty, and to end in the workhouse. The causes are obvious enough.—Liverpool (£ng.) Mercury.

The practice of singeing the hair is based on three articles of belief: That when hair is cut the juices drain away; that by singeing the cut ends are blocked up; that by singeing, splinting is prevented.

Birds with Large Appetites Early Days in California Early Days in California Captain Nick's Queer Dream With the Advance Guard Poor Opinion of Parsons Despite the fact that "the appetite of a bird" has become a common phrase for light eating, investigations show that birds are tremendous feeders. The diet of the average kestrel (a small European hawk) is calculated at 1,000 mice a month, to say nothing of insects and worms. The barn owl is as voracious as the kestrel. An investigator, after caging one of these birds, gave it seven mice one after the other. The first six immediately disappeared, each with a gobble and a gulp, and the owl did its very best to treat the seventh in a like manner. Limitations of abdominal capacity, however, prevented, and though the gobble came off the gulp did not, so that for twenty minutes or so the tail of the seventh mouse dangled from the corner of the bird's beak. But in due course it swallowed the body, and three hours later the pangs of hunger reasserted themselves and the owl ate four more mice. Experiments with a caged robin led to some surprising results. At the end of three weeks it it was found that in order to keep up its weight the bird required about fourteen feet of earthworms a day, or an equivalent in other solid food. A robin in good condition weighs as nearly as possible one ounce. Fourteen feet of earth- Early Days In his "Gold Hunters of California" Thomas E. Farish tells some interesting anecdotes of the men of the early days. The following concerns "Fighting Jack" Hayes, the first sheriff of San Francisco county: "Hayes never drilled his command; with him it was 'Come on, boys,' and they followed where he led. After the battle of Monterey, in which his gallantry was conspicuous, a number of young lieutenants, graduates of West Point, visited his camp to pay their compliments to 'Fighting Jack.' They found him frying bacon, surrounded by soldiers, with nothing to distinguish him from those about him. 'Where can we find Col. Hayes?' inquired the spokesman. "I think you will find him over yonder,' pointing to a group of men about a hundred yards away. Riding over to the group indicated the young men made the same inquiry. They were informed that the man with the frying pan was the officer they were in search of. They rode back to their headquarters without further effort to make his acquaintance." Speaking of Henry Miller, a western Captain Nick's During one of those religious revivals at Searsport for which that Maine town is famous, while Capt. Nick, with others, was sitting by the stove in the country store, toasting his shins, and telling stories, the village preacher entered, and, being desirous of converts, drew into the circle of story-tellers. A momentary silence followed and then Capt. Nick remarked: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed I died and went to heaven." The preacher asked to have the dream told, and the captain proceeded: "Having died, I was directed to go to heaven. I started, and, after traveling some time, came to a fork in the road, nor could I remember the directions as to which fork to take. I chose the left-hand fork and, going on, came to a large iron gate, from which arose walling and sounds of gnashing of teeth. I hesitated, but, not daring to turn back, went up to the gate and knocked. With the Ac In the dream of the northern poets, The brave who in battle die The rest The quietly ring of the viewless swords And the clash of the spectral spears. We think with imperious questionings Of the brothers whom we have lost, And we drive to track in death's mystery. The flight of each valiant ghost. The northern myth comes back to us. That those young souls are striving still Somewhere for the truth and light. It was not their time for rest and sleep; Their hearts beat high and strong; In their fresh veins the blood of youth Was singing its hot, sweet song. The opus of their hearts, Mif flowers their lilith feet, and Their lives lay livin in light, and blest By the smiles of women and God. Again they come! Again I hear The tread of that goodly band; I know the flash of Elsworth's eye And the grasst of their hand; And the shaw and Shaw, of the lion heart, And an eye like a Boston girl's; The Rev. Appleton Grannia, of St. Michael's, is a member of a certain New York club largely made up of clergymen, and is perhaps the only member thereof who would be willing to divulge the following sad story: "Our club-house was torn up for repairs last summer," he said the other day, "and another club near Central Park kindly offered us hospitality until our building should be again tenantable. This second club was made up of men more famous in worldly than clerical circles; yet they were very polite to us and only out-of-town members raised their eyebrows at sight of the numerous cassocks and white ties which were so plentifully sprinkled among the summer costumes of the regular habitues. "There was only one hint at unpleasantness during our entire stay, and that occurred one very gainy af- --- worms weigh two ounces and a half. In other words the bird devours, in health, about two and a half times its own weight of solid food in the course of every twenty-four hours. A man of 168 pounds, if he were to equal this performance in proportion to his size, would require a daily allowance of forty large legs of mutton. Four pounds would be a heavy weight for a heron. Yet one of those birds, which was trapped in England in 1890, disgorged two recently swallowed trout, one of which weighed two pounds and the other one and one-half pounds. Another, captured in 1893, had contrived to put away three trout averaging three-quarters of a pound apiece, although it was only 4 months old, and another had dined upon seven small trout, together with a mouse and a thrush. Among the greediest birds are wood pigeons, which will continue to gulp down food until their crops are almost at the bursting point. From one of these birds, shot as it was returning from a raid in the fields, no fewer than 800 grains of wheat were taken. Another had contrived to cram down no fewer than 600 peas. A third was endeavoring to sustain nature with 180 beech nuts and a fourth with sixty acorns. cattle king, Mr. Farish says that none knew better than he the value of a reliable, efficient man. "Once, on one of his Kern county ranches, he had a foreman with whom he quarreled. The foreman said: 'If it were not that you are a smaller man than I, I would beat you half to death.' At this Miller threw off his coat and went for the man. The foreman succeeded in giving him a good trouncing, then demanded a settlement, which was made. Then all over with, Miller apologized and hired the man over again, with an advance in wages. He knew he had a good man." Another story of Miller: "I remember Miller once at Firebaugh's ferry, on the San Joaquin river, when he was buying so much land. It was at breakfast and a man called 'Hog' Johnson began to criticise Miller's purchases, when Miller turned to him and said: 'Hog, you knows dere iss more peoples born into de world effery year dan dies out of it, don't you?' 'Yes,' admitted Hog. 'Vell, dey all haf to lift off de land and dere iss no more land borned every year.'" Queer Dream "It was partially opened, and out stepped the devil, tined fork in hand, his horns poised ominously, his eyes bloodshot. 'Who are you?' he said, savagely. 'Capt. Nick, from Searsport, Me.' I made answer. 'Get yourself away from here, then', said the devil, 'we are chock full of Searsporters now.' 'Right glad was I to get away, and hurrying back, I took the right-hand fork, which soon brought me to a beautiful marble palace, wherein was music and song. "The gate swung gently open, at my knock, and the good St. Peter said, in a soft, sweet voice, 'Who art thou? I answered as at the first gate, 'Capt. Nick from Searsport, Me.' 'Walk in,' said he, 'thou good and faithful servant; thou art the first one we have had from Searsport, Me.' Invance Guard And I see the light of heaven which lay On Ulric Dahlgren's curls.

And like the files on Lookout's crest, Above death's clouds they strive. A chosen corps, they are marching on In a wider field than ours; These hearts have inspired! fulfill The scheme of heavenly powers; And high brave thoughts float down to us, The echoes of that far light, Love them!

An elderly and somewhat choleric military man who shall be nameless was scolding the hall porter as I entered the building.

"I'll—I'll make inquiries, sir," pleaded the attendant, 'the overshoes are probably mislaid, and'— "Mislaid?" snorted the old gentleman; 'nothing of the sort! They're stolen, sir, stolen!" "Oh, no, sir!" remonstrated the porter, "I think not. I'— "Don't contradict me! I say they are stolen! And, what's more, I'm not one bit surprised.

CANAL ANNIVERSARY SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF THE SOO Grand Celebration of St. Mary's Ship Canal Between Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 3. With the city crowded with thousands of visitors and with hundreds of yards of bunting flying on both the American and Canadian sides of the St. Mary's river a salute at sunrise from the government ships in the harbor opened the two-day celebration of the semicentennial of the opening of the St. Mary's ship canal, which connects Lake Superior with the lower lakes. Fifty years ago the first ship canal around the rapids in St. Mary's river was completed and opened, with two locks 350 feet in length, and a depth of thirteen feet. To-day the American canal has two locks, one 515 feet long, the other 800 feet long and twenty-one feet in depth, while there is also a Canadian lock 1,000 feet in length. More traffic passes through these locks than through any similar waterway in the world. In 1904 38,000 passengers were transported through the canal and a total of 31,546,106 tons of freight, with a value of $340,000,000. The semi-centennial celebration and the erection later of a monument as a permanent memorial was made possible by the appropriation of $10,000 by the United States and $15,000 by the state of Michigan, and the contribution of a considerable amount by the vessel interests of the great lakes. Visitors have been arriving in the city by hundreds since Monday. The two days of the celebration were declared legal holidays on both the American and Canadian sides of the river. Vice President Fairbanks, Governor Warner of Michigan and his staff, United States Senator Burrows of Michigan, Congressman Burton of Ohio, Hon. William Livingstone, president of the Lake Carriers Association; Caarles L. Harvey of Toronto, who constructed the original locks, and Miss Pete Poe, daughter of Gen. O. M. Poe, who constructed the Poe lock, are among the distinguished visitors present at the celebration. Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, solicitor general of Canada, and a party of Canadian officers also are participating in the celebration. The first day was devoted to naval and military parades and Indian exhibitions and a reception by Governor Warner to the other distinguished guests, followed by a magnificent exhibition of fireworks. To-day the commemoration exercises will be held and addresses will be made by President. White of the semi-centennial celebration committee, Governor Warner, Vice President Fairbanks and a number of other prominent guests. PEACE ENVOY TALKS. M. Witte Makes Light of Japanese Successes. New York, Aug. 3.—The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, with M. Sergius Witte, the senior Russian peace envoy, arrived in quarantine yesterday afternoon. Mr. Witte was in good health. On shipboard, M. Witte was generally refictent when the subject of his mission was mentioned. However, to an Associated Press correspondent, who accompanied him from Cherbourg, Mr. Witte said: "The Russians have had reverses, but this does not signify that they have lost the power which was known to the Muscovite before the war, nor does it mean that Russia has become a negligible quantity nor that the Japanese have acquired by result of the recent victories such a supremacy as to make the Russian empire consider them a truly doubtable enemy." "It must be taken into consideration," says M. Witte, "that the Japanese had been preparing for war for about ten years, while Russia was entirely unprepared, wishing for and trusting in peace. The Japanese fought in their own neighborhood under all favorable conditions, while the Russians had to be sent 900 versts from their headquarters by a railroad entirely insufficient to their needs, and to fight a colonial war with all co-efficients against them. What is going on in the Muscovite empire, he said, cannot have any influence on her foreign policy and even less on the continuation or cessation of the war. "The great majority of the Russian people," said M. Witte, "do not attach to the conflict in the far East the importance which is given to it in Europe and America. It is considered as a very distant colonial war, but the whole Russian people would rise as a single man the day in which they should think that it is no more the question of a colonial war, which is not dangerous, but a conflict threatening the security of the country." W. Witte indicated, notwithstanding these views, that he does not mean to say that he will not make every possible effort oward the conclusion of peace, adding that he is favorable to peace as a Russian and a man, having always worked to prevent war and understanding that at present nearly the entire world desires the end of the conflict. Electric Car Accident. Denver, Colo., Aug. 3. —Colorado & Southern switch engine No. 511 was standing in the middle of the crossing of the railway on lower Fifteenth street last night shortly before 8 o'clock when Berkeley electric car No. 70, with a trailer, approached, bound for the center of the city. The gates at the crossing were down. The motorman was unable to stop his car and it crashed, front foremost, into the locomotive. Upon street car and trailer were probably ninety passengers, and the force of the collision was such that it is marvelous that none were killed. As it was, about twenty persons were injured, but there were no fatalities. Secretary's Denial. Washington, D.

GRATEFUL TO CUTICURA "I wish you would publish this letter so that others suffering as I have may be helped. For months awful sores covered my face and neck, scabs forming, itching terribly day and night, breaking open, and running blood and matter. I had tried many remedies, but was growing worse, when I started with Cuticura. The first application gave me instant relief, and when I had used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment, I was completely cured. (signed) Miss Nellie Vander Wiele, Lakeside, N. Y." Where Equality Truly Reigns. The vice president of the United States went into a barber shop at his old home in an Ohio village to get shaved. He was busy talking with some of the politicians when the barber said: "If you want to get shaved you must postpone your conversation. This is my busy day and I can't wait." The vice president did not dismiss the barber. He dismissed the politicians and meekly crawled in the chair. This is the law of the barber shop, inexorable, inflexible and immutable. It is subject to no repeal or amendment. High or low, rich or poor, the call of "next," like the bell of Macbeth, summons the customer to the chair or to the door. The law of the barber shop is the essence of democracy. It is the equitable treatment of the rich and the poor allike that makes of the striped pole the palladium of our liberties. We may think that equal and exact justice has departed from the court and the Senate. So long as it reigns supreme in the torsorial parlor it is a sign that the fires of liberty are still burning—Leadville Herald Democrat Better Than Ice Water. For those who believe that ice water is unhealthy the "olla" of the Latin countries and Mexico is earnestly recommended in this hot weather. The "olla"—the Mexicans pronounce it like "olya"—is a porous earthen jar. Its pores are continually sweating little beads of water, which, by the principle of evaporation, keep the liquid within at a cool temperature, half-way between that of hydrant water and that of ice water—New York Sun. ME TOO The "Tall Enders" That Follow Genuine Articles. It is sometimes interesting to watch the curves imitators make to get the public to buy imitations of genuine goods. Every now and then some one will think there is a splendid opening to fix up something like Postum Coffee and advertise the same way and take some of the business. An imitator is naturally ignorant of food values and how to skillfully make a cereal coffee, on scientific lines. Such men first think of preparing something that looks and tastes like the original, with no knowledge of how the grains should be treated to prepare them so that the starchy part is transformed properly and the valuable nourishing elements made digestible. Such imitations may be foisted on the public for a short time, but the people are critical and soon detect the attempt, then the imitators go out of business. Something like 400 of these little factories have been started in various parts of this country in the past 9 years, and practically all of them have gone the "long journey." Just lately a new one has come to life and evidently hopes to insert itself in public favor by copying the style of the Postum advertising in the papers. This is a free country and every man who makes an honest product and honestly labels it has reason for some recognition, but the public has the right to know the facts. Postum is the one original and genuine Cereal Coffee, made skillfully and for a definite purpose. It has stood through all the wars of the imitators, has won the approval of the Physicians and the people. People who really seek to free themselves from the coffee habit and at the same time to rebuild the soft gray matter in the nerve centers, and thus reconstruct the nervous system, broken down by coffee, can rely on Postum. There's a reason. A woman sees a hat or bonnet in a milliner's window. It is in the latest style, so she determines to have that hat—or one just like it. No use to try to dissuade her—she wants that kind of a hat! No other will suit her. There she displays her will power, and probably does the same with everything she buys for herself or her family. She makes as it were, a feminine "dolce di donna" decoration, it not surprising therefore, to find some few women who still allow their grocers to choose for them in important matters like fooddutts? In spite of the fact that grocers as a rule have long ago realized the necessity of catering to their customers' rather than their own desires, there are still a few of the other kind left, who show a marked inclination to persuade customers to take what they do not ask for, or desire. Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the leader of all package coffees, an established favorite for over twenty-five years in millions of homes, on account of its absolutely pure and uniform quality. Wouldn't you thing it impossible that a single grocer can still exist who would oppose such an invincible argument of merit, by trying to persuade a customer to buy those coffee in prefect condition? Loose coffee has no standard quality—nobody can guarantee that it is even clean. Of course, really independent and intelligent women know this, and so do up-to-date grocers, but if women want to buy about coffee as about hats, no kind of grocer could be without Llon Coffee. The only time a girl is willing to admit she hasn't the smallest feet in her, is when her grandmother offers to give her a pair of silk stockings if they will fit her. TEA It goes to the spot.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Rests Upon the Fact that it Really Does Make Sick Women Well Thousands upon thousands of American women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treatment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished its widespread results for good? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has even approached its success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's illis. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant—not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and constructor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively curing disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, boating (or flatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration, or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Anyway, write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. It's free and always helpful. DENSION JOHN W. MORRIS Washington, D.C.

Frank W. Pettygrove of Seattle has the penny that named the city of Portland, Oregon. On the toss of this coin depended the question whether the Willamette metropolis should be known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned "tails," and the town was named after Portland, Maine, the former home of Mr. Pettygrove's father. A. L. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid out Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most important city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to mean Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Lovejoy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. The younger Pettygrove still has the identical penny, and would not take any amount of money for it. His father kept it for a pocket piece, and it has been handed down to the son, who bears his father's name. It is dated 1835, and is one of those large coins in vogue at that time, about the size of the quarter of the present day. Voice from Arkansas. Cleveland, Ark., July 31st.—(Special)—Nearly every newspaper tells of some wonderful cure of some form of Kidney Disease by the Great American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this part of Arkansas is not without its share of evidence that no case is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure. Mr. A. E. Carlie, well known and highly respected here, tells of his cure after nearly a quarter of a century's suffering. Mr. Carlie says: "I want to let the public know what I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I think they are the best remedy for sick kidneys ever made. "I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years and never found anything that did me so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. I recommend them to all sufferers." There is no uncertain sound about Mr. Carilie's statement. He knows that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him from a life of suffering and he wants the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ills from Backache to Bright's Disease. WELDING COPPER It is a Matter of Personal Skill and Cannot Be Taught. A Los Angeles mechanic has rediscovered the lost art, said to have been possessed by the ancients, of welding copper. But from his own description it would seem that the recovery is not permanent, and that the secret will die with him, as his efforts to impart it to others are not attended with success. When asked to explain the manner in which he made the discovery, says the Los Angeles Herald, he said: "I began five years ago to weld copper just as I weld iron. Copper welding is an art, not a science, and everything lies in the eye, in the ability to take the metal from the fire at just the proper moment. "I have been experimenting in welding processes for over twenty-five years, and since I discovered the welding color, I have tried to teach it to my men, but without success. "They are unable to distinguish color variations under fire, which is the one essential, and which is perfectly simple and easy for me. In this lies the great trouble in teaching the process, and this trouble is increased by the fact that copper is a dead metal and contains no carbon." It is very likely that the art among the ancients was not general, and that specimens which have been found in the ruins of ancient cities were the product of individual craftsmen, who discovered and used it, and it died with them, for the very reason set forth by Mr. Thos. A. McNeill, the Los Angeles man using it, in his statement to the Herald.—Nogales (Ariz.) Oasis. EVER TREAT YOU SO? Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up. A clergyman who pursues his noble calling in a country parish in Iowa, tells of his coffee experience: "My wife and I used coffee regularly for breakfast, frequently for dinner and occasionally for supper—always the very best quality—package coffee never could find a place on our table. "In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting which we had great difficulty in stopping. "It seemed to come from coffee drinking but we could not decide. "In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home filling an appointment, at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. "I had also experienced the same trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort to medicine. "But my wife's second attack satisfied me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Postum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared and during the 9 years that we have been using Postum instead of coffee we have never had a recurrence of the vomiting. We never weary of Postum, to which we know we owe our good health. This is a simple statement of facts." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

The immediate causes of headaches vary, but most of them come from poor or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood is scanty or thin; the nerves are imperfectly nourished and pain is the way in which they express their weakness. In colds the blood absorbs poison from the mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates the nerves and produces pain. In rheumatism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort. In indigestion the gases from the impure matter kept in the system affect the blood in the same way. The ordinary headache-cures at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears permanently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailling relief in headaches caused by anemia. Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a great deal of good. I hadache nearly all the time. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she was asked. "For several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by slow degrees. I had been going down hill for many years." "Did you have any other ailments?" "I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were affected as well as my head." "How did you come to take the remedy that cured you?" "I saw in a southern newspaper a statement of some person who was cured of a like trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My physician hadn't done me any good, so I bought a box of these pills. After I had taken one box I felt so much better that I kept on until I became entirely well." Miss Blocker's home is at Leauder, Louisiana. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous prostration, partial paralysis and rheumatism. Secrecy is said to be the act of telling a thing to only one person at a time. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch.

Hire Sessors, 149 Dale ave., Brooklyn, k. GOWNS OF THE MOMENT Dresden Hues Are With Us. The summer colors, judging by a walk along the pizzas these days, are white and pink, or, more properly speaking, they are the Dresden colors. White gowns with pink vests, white hats trimmed with pink roses, beautiful white dresses with handsome pink embroideries upon them and whole pink suits are seen in preference to all others, with a touch of Alice blue to make them complete. The Dresden colors, which included a lovely shade of grass green and some beautiful blues of the forget-me-not shade, are displayed to their very best advantage in the thin summer goods. There are pink lawns and pink muslins which leave nothing at all to be desired in the way of good taste. They are neat, pretty in tone, being not too dark, and they are soft and easily draped. There is one pink in particular, a shade of japonica pink, which is admirable. It is becoming to nearly all faces. Ham Timbales. Chop some very fine and add a tablespoon melted butter, also a little pepper. Toast slices of bread and spread some of the chopped ham on each slice. Add a dropped egg to each slice, also, and then you have minced ham with dropped eggs on toast. Eggs can be omitted. Makes a nice cold dish for lunch or supper. Another way is to chop ham and cold boiled potatoes together, season with salt, pepper and butter. Add a few crackers rolled fine. Shape with the hands into small cakes, using a little flour and fry the same as fishcakes. Serve hot. Simple Linen Waist. Blouse of illac linen, made with a box plait in the middle of the front, on each side of which are two tucks. It is trimmed around the neck with a band of material, the ends of which are turned back on each side of the front, forming tabs fastened with buttons. The shaped collar is of the linen, ornamented with buttons. The fine sleeves are finished below the elbows with bands and straps of 1 the material over tight cuffs, also of the material, ornamented with the buttons. The pretty girdle is of the linen and forms a strap in front. Silk Glove Problem Solved What to do with the old silk gloves has long been a problem with the girl who hates to throw away her clothes as long as any merit remains in them. Elbow length silk gloves are expensive, but the fingers wear out just as quickly as any other kind, and, of course, no one wants to wear ragged finger tips. Mending is almost impossible. One summer girl has hit upon a clever idea. When her silk gloves are worn out at the fingers she cuts them off in a straight line across the knuckles, makes a little hem and edges it with a narrow bit of lace. This makes a dainty pair of mitts with long wrists, just the thing to wear with this summer's elbow sleeves. If silk stockings could only be made over the same way! In Suspender Style. Suspender styles still hold good, in spite of the many predictions to the contrary voiced earlier in the season; but more interesting developments of the style are being made all the while. One of the prettiest of the many adaptations was made with a nine-gore skirt. The suspenders—wide ones, too—rose from an oddly shaped bit (which bloused a little above the girdle) and ended in another shaped piece. Both the shaped pieces were scalloped, the scallops facing, and both suspender-girdle and skirt were trimmed with buttons and worked buttonholes. Apply a drop of oil to the door hinges to keep them from creaking. A cork soaked in oil makes a good substitute for a glass stopper. Kitchen tables may be made "white as snow" if washed with soap and wood ashes. Floors look best scrubbed with cold water, soap and wood ashes. The mica windows of cool stoves can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in vinegar and water. - MOMENT The new very sheer silks are a boon for, without being warm or looking heavy, they have firmness of texture to resist the dampness, in pinkish lilac is a frock of sheerest chiffon tafeta, trimmed with cream batiste embroidery, in which are shown fine threads of lilac. This was used for the bib front and stock on blouse, and also for the rolling collar and fancy cuffs on sleeves. From end of bib to waist line the material is puffed. The deep, shaped girdle is made of the silk. Little Touch of Smartness. Smart flowing ties are made from silk handkerchief ends. If a fancy one is chosen two will be required. One is cut diagonally across. This is for the knot and ends. The other is required to stretch across the color foundation and to bring around to meet in front so that the tie will not look like a "made" one. The two triangles are then knotted in a four-in-hand bow and tacked into place in the front. Plaid and striped effects are particularly nice for this. Paratable Summer Stew. Cut two pounds of the best end of neck of lamb into neat chops, melt one ounce of dripping in a pan, fry two sliced onions in it till of a pale brown color, add one ounce flour, one and a half pints stock or water, stir till they boil, put in the chops three leaves of mint and a little salt and pepper. Cook them slowly for one hour, then three pounds new potatoes scraped and sliced, cook for half an hour longer. Serve hot with a thick border of cooked poas. The small bolero coat, which is made in lapped sections to suggest pointed straps, is carried out in ecru linen of coarse quality, and would be a good style in which to attempt the Russian cloth. The skirt would look well finished with overlapping pointed bands running backward from each seam. A white embroidery blouse and necktie, basted inside the coat, is worn with this costume and a belt of tomato color. The hat is formed of two popples, which are made of cream embroidered batiste with large velvet flower centers. The largest is mounted over a round of wire bent up at the side, and the smaller one which is formed by trimming off the embroidery is laid under the side. PARIS GOWNS IS GOWNS. NEW PARIS GOWNS. with a buckle. The chemisette is of white silk or linen. The elbow sleeves are all plaited and puffed. The other gown is of cerise cloth. The skirt is made with fine plaits over the hips and with groups of diagonal plaits at the bottom. The bolero is also made with diagonal plaits and has long revers opening over a white waistcoat fastened with a single row of buttons. The sleeves are also plaited diagonally and finished at the elbows with turn-over cuffs of the material and ruffles of batiste or linen. --- This should be done when putting the stove up. Add to the covered brick used as a door stop a strip of the covering sewed strongly to the sides, and raised just enough to admit the foot, then lift it by the toes and save stooping. In sickness, when disinfectants are needed in sinks and basins, use carbolic acid, allowing four tablespoonfuls to each pint of cold water; pour down the pipes, and let it remain half an hour before flushing. Half an ounce of gum arabic dissolved in a wineglassful of boiling water, and adding plaster of Paris to form a thick paste. Apply with a brush to the edges of broken china, and join ends evenly together. Doudoir Confidences Buy your vells to suit your hats, both for color and size. Some new patent leather hats are a light gray in color. Some kind of light shoulder scarf for evening is a necessity. Both flat bows of ribbon and silk ties are used in the smart low shoes. Every kind of old-fashioned white Every kind of old-fashioned white or cru lace collar or fichu is in use. Patent leather belts and shopping bags look well with the colored linen costumes. There are charming tailored frocks of alpaca and brilliantine for the boating girl. The scarlet linen shoe is the most startling yet. It seems atcgether too outre for the street. Real lace matinees are worn by the many being especially pretty with the half-sleeved bodices in vogue. For little boys the bowl-crown, rollbrim sailors are worn, the patent-leather sailor and the sailor cap being equally fashionable. The sailor costume still retains its popularity, both for small girls and boys, and to most children it is certain to prove a becoming model. Spanish Buns Five eggs, well beaten; cut up in a cup of warm new milk, half a pound of fresh butter, one pound of sifted flour and a wineglass of yeast. Set it to rise for an hour, in a warm place; when risen, sift in half a pound of white sugar, and half a grated nutmeg, add one wineglass of wine or brandy mixed, one wineglass of rosewater, and one cup of currants, which have been previously cleaned, mix these well, pour it into pans and set to rise again for half an hour. Bake one hour. The above is a famous recipe and dates back over one hundred years. In Silk for the Afternoon. A pretty model for an afternoon silk gown has the skirt plaited and stitched down for a distance about the waist. There is added to this a deep shaped flounce, plaited and stitched down for several inches, a fashion that gives it a beautiful flare at the bottom. This is headed by a band of Irish lace four or five inches deep, edged with velvet ribbon and with straps of the ribbon crossing it at intervals. On the bodice is a little bolero with coat tails. There are drooping lapels faced with velvet and a deep collar made of lace and straps of velvet like the trimming on the skirt. The sleeves end just below the elbow with a broad, loose cuff to match the collars, with lace ruffles falling out of this. NEW PAR The gown at the left is of mauve gray crepe de chine. The skirt is covered with a long tunic which forms deep scallops, and is bordered with a tucked band of the material. The bolero forms a sort of collar cut in points and bordered with the tucked band. It opens over a crossed waistcoat of the material bordered with embroidery. The girdle, forming odd points at the sides, is of white silk trimmed with narrow velvet of a little darker shade than the gown, and fastened in front P Palatable Summer Stew.

Frank W. Pettygrove of Seattle has the penny that named the city of Portland, Ore. On the toss of this coin depended the question whether the Willamette metropolis should be known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned "tails," and the town was named after Portland, Me., the former home of Mr. Pettygrove father. A. L. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid out Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his state. Pettygrove wanted to name Portland, after the most important city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to be Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Lovejoy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. The younger Pettygrove still has the identical penny and would not take any amount of money for it. His father kept it for a pocket piece, and it has been handed down to the son, who bears his father's name. It is dated 1835, and is one of those large coins in vogue at that time, about the size of the quarter of the present day. THE "LAW OF SALE." Attitude of the Consumer Toward the Advertiser. A specialist who has made a study of the mental attitude of the consumer toward the advertiser formulates what he call the "law of sale" as follows: "Attention, properly sustained, changes to interest; intereste, properly augmented, changes to desire, and desire, properly intensified, changes to resolve to buy." Often the reader passes through all these mental stages in the perusal of a single advertisement; sometimes the cumulative power of a series of "ads" is necessary to bring him to the final attracting attention, arousing interest and intensifying desire is the newspaper, which covers a field no other medium can reach.—Philadelphia Record.

His horse- Can saw out "Dixie" or "Jump-Jim-row" "row" Like sixty. "Hop light, ladles, tiptoe fine, Git yer parchers now, an' jump in line.

Lemonade round an' all chaw hay!" Oh, it's a time we have when Sim Pete fiddles For the country shindig down at Bliddles Ranch, on the Tar Flat road. Dept. H. Stovall. Some Lingual Peculiarities. Some familiar words illustrate that confusion between article and substantive which has given the English language "a newt" for "an ewt." "A nickname" represents "an ekename," an additional name; and "a nugget," or "niggot," as it used to be written, was once "a ningot," a wrong version of "an ingot." Similarly the phrase "for the nonce" was originally "for then once"—for that one time, "then" being the dative case of "that." On the other hand, "an adder" and "an orange" were "a nadder" and "a norange" originally. "An apron," also, has come from "a napron" (connected with "napery"), and "an umpire" is really "a numpire"—a "non-peer," a not equal or odd man, the odd man out who arbitrates. A Cure for Colds. Here is a sure cure for colds of any kind. It has been tested repeatedly, and has never failed, and as I used to catch cold, which resulted in a bad attack of bronchitis, I can speak from experience. In cases of pheumonia it will not fail to cure if taken in time. Make a ball of cotton batting about the size of a small marble, saturate it well with alcohol, then drop onto it six drops of chloroform; cover it lightly with a thin piece of thin cotton batting, hold to the mouth, and inhale the fumes, inflating the lungs well. It will open and expand every lung cell instantly.—Woman's Home Companion. Derivations Little Known. "Scandal" is one of the hardest worked words in the language. It is the same as "slander," and should have the same meaning of things spoken injurious to a person's reputation. Derived from Greek "skandalon," "slander" and "scandal" are good examples of doublets from classical sources. "Scandal" came, with the "new learning," direct from the Greek; "slander" by way of Norman French "esclandre." The same process has given "palsy" and "paralysis," "priest" and "presbyter," "alms" and "eleemosynary." Praying for Good Husbands. A picturesque ceremony takes place every year in Haute-Vienne. All the girls in the place on the day of St. Eutroplus file in procession to St. Junien-les-Gombes to the cross which is erected near the church to the saint. Each girl hangs her left garter on the cross and prays that she may have a good husband, and then gives way to the next girl. The cross is so smothered in garters of different colors that at a distance it looks as though it were covered with flowers
