Veterans @ Visitors We Bid You Welcome Perils Facing the Negro Race. James H. Pershing Addresses Largely Attended Meeting on what He Declares one of the Most Vital Questions of the Day. VOL. XI. Enthusiasm marked the meeting of the People's Sunday Alliance yesterday afternoon at 1712 Curtis street. The alliance is made up of the better class of the Negro population in Denver and it has as its object the solving of problems which confront the colored people as a race. The alliance has grown from a handful of people to audiences that more than fill the hall where the organization holds a meeting every Sunday afternoon. James H. Pershing spoke to the members of the alliance yesterday on "The Perils of Negro Citizenship." In part he said: "What do I mean by the perils of Negro citizenship? Just this—the perils arising from citizenship to the race itself, in which is the greatest possibility for good or evil. I do not intend to eulogize the Negro race today. We are not here for that purpose, but we are here to soberly and honestly consider the questions which confront us. "The underlying motive and principal in laying the foundation of our republic was this one thought alone, the redemption from within. Men from all parts of the world gathered to establish a government by the people, of the people and for the people." Your race came out of African bondage into something infinitely worse—American slavery. For centuries and centuries back into the dim past Africa had been preparing itself for the condition into which you were thrust in a very short time. "Martin Luther discovered the grand principle, 'justification is by faith alone,' and he opened the door by which each man became his own intercessor before God. "All modern forms of political institutions have been formed on the principle of individual identity. The possession of a human soul is so transcendent that it raises every man, bound or free. Upon the rock of inward development through voluntary association tests the future of our life and nation. "The first peril to consider is the possession of freedom. The peril comes not only to the black man, but the white man who adominates him. Your danger lies in not being counted at the ballot box. "We hear a great deal nowadays about political corruption and I tell you that the actual control of the government always has and always will remain with the wealth- State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, Veterans RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL WITH THE CROWD TO the Negro Race. Largely Attended Meeting on one of the Most Vital of the Day. ly. There never will come a time when political corruption will not exist until there is an equal distribution of the wealth of the land and this is the solution of the problem. "The second peril is economic freedom. There are certain forms of servitude that enoble. Labor is a word that, I regret to say, has been brought into disrepute, as if labor itself were a degradation. The possession of freedom is based on certain possessions that go with it. Out of all this must come economic freedom, which means the habit of saving. The lack of saving is one of the greatest perils of the Negro race. They must get the idea of the dignity of labor. Just so long as any man, white or black, remains in economic slavery it will retard him from being politically free. You must strengthen yourselves along the lines of economic freedom. "And third, there must be moral freedom. There can be no [great and general exercise of our right of franchise unless we be morally free. The free man loves freedom as the miser loves his gold; not because of any good it may do him, but by the very possession of freedom. Remember there are three essentials in order to avoid the perils of Negro citizenship—political, economic and moral freedom. The doors of opportunity are now open to you, but the only hope of salvation to the Negro race is to strengthen itself. A spirit communicated is the greatest possession of the human soul, and progress means victory for the human soul."—Rocky Mountain News. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. It is an interesting fact, shown by the last census bulletin, that the Southern whites have a larger proportion of children than the whites of the North, but in this respect the Negroes are away ahead of the palefaces in both sections.

The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp on the third story back room and the occupant threw the blazing lamp into the hall-way, where it started a fire, which rapidly worked its way to the staircase and then to the front room where the body of Andrew Walker lay sleeping. Nugent climbed the rain water spout entered the burning house and returned with the baby. On the beautiful Island of Monstarrat, in the Leeward group, there is a population of real Irish Negroes.

Advice to Negro Leaders by a Southern White Metropolitan Newspaper as to their Duty—Says Negroes are Being fast Crowded to the Walls From Occupations of Labor. It is time, and high time, that the leaders of the Negro race, religious, educational, and social, should be addressing themselves seriously and systematically to the demands of the white race in respect of inter-race relation, as involving the labor problem. Evidence accumulate every day that we are approaching more rapidly the parting of the ways at which unless the Negro changes his course and grasps the position he occupies towards the white man, he must be driven to the wall. This is apart from politics. The Negro in the South has been eliminated from the political equation. No clearer demonstration of that fact could be asked than was furnished at the recent meeting of the Virginia State Republican Convention. In that convention, comparatively speaking, the "man and brother" was reduced almost to a curiosity. He had no standing he occupied the "peanut gallery;" he admitted that ambition for equality in the matter of office and influence was a thing of the past and all he asked was to vote. This newspaper has always been a friend of the Negroes, and hence its advice that the leaders came down to the practical situation. Unless they do so there is no hope for the race in any pathway leading in the direction of making a living. Even so staunch a Republican and negrophilistic paper as the New york Tribune conceded that when it admonished its words editorially, as it did a few days ago, that "their failure to satisfactorily perform the duties of life is narrowing their chances for building themselves up and for establishing their race," and warned them against immigration. The Negro must arouse himself to the obvious conclusion that that he must shake off his growing shiftless habits and buckle down to harder work than in the days of slavery, else he will be left irredeemable in the lurch and become the victim of a labor supercession that will mean his destruction. In buttressing his contention we summarize a statement from the Norfolk Dispatch which will be a revelation to a great many persons. It is well known that there has been in the cotton States a very comprehensive movement to introduce Italian in lieu of Negro labor But we learn from our Norfolk contemporary, to our surprise, we confess, that for the rougher preliminary work of the Jamestown Exposition the contractors have NO. 49. imported upwards of a hundred Italian laborers. These immigrants are engaged in cleaning up the grounds and iu sewering and guttering them. We are told that the contractors "permit Negroes to work," but "the Italians work so much harder and more effectively that the white labor is cheaper than the black." Furthermore, in the same connection, incidentally as it were, we have this statement: "The Italian labor employed by Northern contractors on the National Bank of Commerce building was the first to come into this section. The experiment there proved successful, on all sides contractors are interesting themselves in this feature of the labor situation. The Italian gets more money per day than the Negro, but he works harder and gives better results." When we consider the increasing tendency of the Negro to drift from the country to the city, and find that when he is brought into com petition there with white labor he will not work in harmony with the requirement of the greatest results at the least practical expense what future is there for him, unless he mends his way? He is getting between the devil and the deep sea. Each year that passes militates against a reaction which will enable him to regain his position and value as a farm laborer, and for the reason that the young white men are turning back to the farm, the present generation is steadily losing spmpathy with the Negro and the cry for white labor is continuously empasized. The moral of these observations applies not only to the Negro men, but to what is frequently termed the "servant girl question." Truth to tell, we have less trouble with male labor than we have with female labor. There are today hundreds of households in this very city which are without competent "help." Tradition and disposition trend to the employment of Negro domestics, but both are rapidly weakening. This further complicates the question of the duty of the leaders of the Negro race. Failing to recognize that they should bend their energies and efforts to making their race faithful and true in their obligations as employees, and to stimulating in them habits of industry the inevitable consequences will be the introduction here of a system of white service, and poverty and misery and retrogression among the colored people.—News Leader. It is well known that with every coming year "The Denver" is a greater and better store—so it is only reasonable that the public expects us to provide for the new season the most liberal and best chosen stocks ever exhibited in the city. It is their right to expect this, and the hundreds of invoices already at hand covering immense purchases from both European and domestic mills and factories insure that there will be no disappointment. Not another store in the West has sent its buyers upon such repeated visits to Eastern markets in preparation for the Autumn business. As a result we are shaping into splendid readiness for the greatest Fall trading our store has ever enjoyed. One Night to Leave Denver 4:20 p. m. to-day, evening.

WORK YET TO BE DONE BEFORE PEACE IS ESTABLISHED President Thinks We Should Not Be Too Sanguine—Place for Signing Treaty Yet to Be Selected. Oyster Bay, Aug. 31.—"Whistle softly. We are getting into the thin timber, but we are not yet out of the woods." This homely admonition represents accurately President Roosevelt's view of the situation at Portsmouth. Peace is in sight, but it is not yet an accomplished fact. Profoundly as he is gratified at the results already achieved by the plenipotentiaries, the President realizes fully that the most important work remains yet to be done. Until more is accomplished, it is scarcely the part of wisdom, he thinks, to do more than "whistle softly." It is probable that President Roosevelt may make a formal expression concerning the work accomplished at Portsmouth by the Russian and Japanese envoy, but the intimation to-day was that he would not make such a statement, in any event, until he should have been assured of the success of the conference. The President has no definite idea how long the plenipotentiaries may be engaged in the negotiations of the treaty of peace. He believes that it ought not to take a great length of time, because the points of difference having been resolved, the incorporation of the tentative agreement reached becomes practically only a question of phraseology. The importance of the text of the various sections of the treaty is not minimized by the President, and he appreciates thoroughly that obstacles may arise at any moment that might delay seriously the negotiations or wreck them entirely. The woods will not be cleared entirely until the treaty is signed and sealed. The place to be selected for the appending of signatures to the treaty raises a question of interest. It was assumed before the meeting of the conference that the treaty, wherever it might be negotiated, would be signed in Washington and be known hereafter as the "treaty of Washington," as the conference itself, although held at Portsmouth, is known as the Washington conference. It is proposed that the signing of the treaty take place at Sagamore hill as a compliment to President Roosevelt for his part in initiating the conference and bringing it to a successful issue. The treaty then would be known as the "treaty of Sagamore Hill," and would go down in history along with many other important conventions which have been concluded at places other than continental capitals. This question lies wholly with the conferences, and it is likely to remain undetermined until they practically have concluded their work. WHAT RUSSIA MUST PAY. Must Settle China's Bill for Chinese Eastern Railroad. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 31.—The Associated Press is able to give one additional and interesting detail in regard to the conditions of peace. Most important of all is the fact that the formal recognition of Japan's possession of the Chinese Eastern railroad below Kuenchengtse, the junction of the branch to Kirin, involves payment by Russia to China of a sum estimated at $75,000,000. This is the Chinese interest in the road, and for it China must be remunerated. The question of ultimate possession of the road is a matter to be settled by Japan and China. Japan can keep the road, or surrender it to China, demanding in return the money paid by Russia to China. If she elects the latter course, Japan will therefore obtain as an indirect "spoll of war" from Russia the above mentioned sum, in addition to reimbursement for the cost of maintaining the Russian prisoners of war, for which Japan will present an itemized bill. Japan is known to have given her word to China not to retain the railroad, which was really built for strategic purposes. But if China prefers the money to the railroad Japan need not be accused of bad faith. Wind River Land Opening. Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 30.—Speaking of the prospective opening for settlement of the Wind River Indian reservation, Congressman F. W. Mondell last night said: "It is my opinion from a conservative estimate, that we will have from two to three times more people than were at the opening of the Uintah reserve. The Wind River reservation is considered larger than that portion of the Uintah reserve which was thrown open for settlement, and there is three times as much first-class, irrigable land available as there was in the Uintah reserve. The balance of the land, outside that which can be reclaimed, is much better from a grazing and dry farming standpoint than anything in the Uintah reserve. In addition to this, it is generally believed that the Wind River reserve contains a large amount of valuable mineral land." Kermit Kills a Bear. Deadwood, S. D., Aug. 31.—Kermit Roosevelt is the happiest boy in the United States. His hunting party returned yesterday from a ten-days' hunt with the hides of a brown bear, which Kermit killed, and two wildcats. The bear was young and not oversized, but it was a bear. Even the President did not get a bear in ten days. The party consisting of Kermit, Capt. Seth Bullock, his son Stanley, and Paul Martin, son of Congressman Martin, traveled 350 miles in ten days. Everyone except the guide and grubmaster traveled on horseback. All are good horsemen and though the trip through the mountains was difficult, no one even complained of fatigue.

H., Aug. 80—The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended, ‘The terms of peace were agreed upon by M. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the conference yes- terday morning and in the afternoon preliminary arrangements for an armistice Were concluded and the actual work of framing the “Treaty of Portsmouth” was by mutual agreement turned over to Mr. De Martens, Russia's great international lawyer, and Mr. Dennison, who for twenty-five years has acted as the legal adviser of the Jap- anese foreign office. ‘ The treaty is expected to be completed by the end of the week. This happy conclusion of the conference, which, a week ago would have been shipwrecked had It not been for the heroic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and. dramatic. ; For the sake of peace, Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in Issue. Russia refused to budge from the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had given to President Roosevelt through Ambassador Meyer. . No indemnity under any guise, but an agreement to divide Saghalien and reimburse Japan for the mainte- nance of the Russian prisoners, were his last words. i They Fave been repeatedly used in M, Witte’s instructions and In the form of a written reply to the Japa- Nese compromise proposal of last Wednesday, they were delivered to Baron Komura this morning, M. Witte went to the conference declaring he was powerless to change the dot of an “i” or the cross of a “t” In his instructions. Emperor Nicholas’ word had been given not only to him, but to President Roosevelt, the head of a foreign state. i When Baron Komura, therefore, first offered the new basis of compromise Outlined in the Associated Presa dispatches last night (the complete renunciation of indemnity, coupled with a proposition for the redemption of Saghalien at a price to be fixed by a mixed tribunal convention consisting of representatives of the neutral pow- ers, in fact,-if not in words, the solution offered by the President), M. Witte again returned a non possumus. It was what M. Witte termed in his interview with the Associated Press the “psychological moment.” M. Witte did not flinch. He expected a rupture, and, as he expressed It afterward, he was stunned by what happened. pPSlgaron Komura gave way on all the disputed points. With the presctence that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes of their adversaries on the field of battle and upon the sea, they had realized in ad- vance that peace could be obtained in no other way. They had warned their government. President Roosevelt had also, It is believed, advised Japan that it were better to meet the Russian position than to take the responsibility of continuing the war for the purpose of collecting tribute. ‘The mikado, at the session of the Cabinet and elder statesmen Monday, had sanctioned the final conces- sion. When Baron Komura yielded, the rest was mere child’s play. OVATION TO M. WITTE. | The southern half of Saghalilen] | Germany Praises Roosevelt, Russian Envoy Cheered by People of Portsmouth, pepe onesie eee | Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30.—Not until M. Witte arrived at the hotel with Baron de Rosen shortly after 1 o'clock, and received one of the most remarkable ovations ever accorded a foreigner in this country, did the guests in the hotel know the terms of peace, which the Associated Press had bulletined a few minutes after the ad- journment of the morning session. For half an hour thé crowd awaited the arrival of M. Witte. Word had come that he and Baron de Rosen were returning to their hotel for luncheon, but that the Japanese mission would remain at the navy yard. By the time the big automobile bring. ing the Russian peacemakers dashed up to the front of the Russian head: quarters the yeranda was crowded with 300 persons, The crowd met the envoys before they reached the ver- anda and began the mighty cheer that did not die until M. Witte had entered his apartments on the second floor and sunk into an armchair, moved almost to tears and completely overcome by the inspiration of the moment, the con filcting emotions produced by the mo mentous events at the navy yard, and the wildly enthusiastic demonstration which greeted him on his arrival. “Bravo! Bravo!” they cried. In their mad enthusiasm the people rushed tc the end of the veranda and met the fifty or more who had been watching ai the corner to give the signal of the en ‘yoy’s arrival. Both M, Witte and Baron de Rosen lifted their hats. ‘The occasion was, with all its en thusiasm, too solemn for them to dc more than respectfully bow their heads. Then M. Witte started shaking the outstretched hands. Before M. ‘Witte passed up the stairway leading to his apartments the crowd began crying “What about indemnity; how much did Russia pay?” ‘The word “indeninity” brought M. Witte to a halt on the first landing of the stairway. Turning to the crowd, deliberately and with that command: ing force which has made his person: allty the most potent factor in the peace negotiations, the great ™an of -Russia, with words that seemed to come through his tightly-clenched lips, fairly snapped back to his ques: tioners with deep feeling: “Pas unsou” (not a cent), ‘The ring of pride in his voice told the crowd that M. Witte had won his victory. He came to Portsmouth de- claring stoutly that he was not to pay an indemnity in any shape or form. He had made good his word. The words brought another cheer. What Japan Has Won. The mikado’s empire has secured a place among the great powers of the world, Japan has wrested from Pussia the control of the Liaotung peninsula, in cluding Port Arthur, Dalny and the Blonde and Blliott islands, thus at one stroke getting revenge for past indig nities and what to her are the prime fruits of yictory. By Japan's victories the empire has forced Russia to consent to the open door for all nations in Manchuria. ‘A “preponderant influence” in Korea hag been secured, an influence which admits the right of Japan to give mill tary and financial advice to the em: peror of Korea. Japan obtains the cession of the Chi ‘nese Eastern railroad, south from Changtfu to Port Arthur, a change of control which will ald Japan in a finan cial sense. Japan has forced the limitation of the Chinese concession of 1896, under which the “cut off” through northern Manchuria was built to connect the trans-Siberian aud the Ussuri rail roads, so as to provide for the reten. tion and ownership-of the line by the ,Chinese Eastern. Chinese imperial police are to be substituted for the Russian railroad guards. ‘The Japanese treasury {s to receive a liberal sum in payment for the care of Russian prisoners. Japan's fishermen secure the right to ply thelr trade in the waters of the Russian Littoral from Vladivostok north to the Behring sea. What Russia Has Lost. Russia has lost its position as a ranking naval power. Its fleet tn the Pacific 1s cut to pieces and its great Baltic fleet has been destroyed. Russia has been routed from the Ltaotung peninsula, from Dalny, the Blonde and Elliott islands, and from Port Arthur, the harbor fortress whose strength and position gave tne czar a position of dominance in eastern af. fairs. The southern half of Saghalien island is lost to Russia, an fsland over which a few weeks ago she had full sway and ownership. Russia has been compelled by force of Japanese arms to consent that all nations shall have full trade facilities in Manchuria, a privilege which she formerly jealously withstood, ‘The czar’s government refused be- fore the war to recognize any right of Japan to seck influence and trade in Korea. As a result of the war Japan is given a preponderant influence in the Hermit kingdom, with full power to advise the emperor on all matters pertaining to commerce and to war. Russia has relinquished ownershiy in the Chinese Hastern railroad con. necting Port Arthur with Changtfu. ‘This involves a retrocession to China by Russia of property rights, and gives to Japan an opportunity to recoup her finances. ‘The czar loses all influence in Man churia, a province which his govern: ment was absorbing. Washington Greatly Pleased. ‘Washington, Aug. 30.—News of the agreement of the peace plenipotentia- ries at Portsmouth was received here with surprise, for, while the official mind has been in a measure prepared for a successful outcome of the confer- ence by the statements contained in the Associated Press dispatches from Portsmouth last night, no such syeedy action was anticipated. Now that an agreement has been reached both branches of the govern- ment service experience a feeling of relief. The State Department realizes @ great victory in having secured be- yona any question the open door in Manchuria, which was so dear to the heart of the late Secretary John Hay. ‘The loyal integrity of China seems also assured, and with the restoration of the vast Manchurian provinces to the control of the present emperor of China and the dowager empress it is felt here that there is an end for all time of insidious tendency to foreign aggressions upon Chinese soil. With Korea under a Japanese protectorate, ‘developing its great natural resources and all to be opened to American ex- ploitation on even terms with other nations, a large increase in the for- eign market open to our products is expected. For its part, the navy will be re- lieved of the tedious and expensive patrol which it has been maintaining in the Philippines ever since the begin- ning of hostilities to guard against the violation of neutrality by the belliger- ents. Also it will be relieved of the necessity of guarding the Russian in- terned ships. These ships may now, it is supposed, depart for their. home ports, although some repairs may be necessary before they may be re- garded as seaworthy. France Commends Japanese. Paris, Aug. 30.—American, Russian and French officials displayed jubila tion over the success of the peace ne gotiations, while Japanese diplomats maintained their usual imperturbabil ity, regarding the event as a thing that had been expected, All, however rejoiced that the disastrous war had been brought to a close with un: doubted benefit, not only to Russia and Japan, but to the whole world. Considerable surprise was shown among French diplomats that the Jap: nese had surrendered so completely relative to the question of indemnity on which they hitherto had held sc firm, ‘Their action in thus making an enor. mous sacrifice evoked much commen. dation, It was known that both bel ligerents desired peace, but that in order to preserve their national self respect they did not wish to exhibit signs of wavering, There was, there. fore, intense surprise when it was an nounced that the Japanese had given \o thelr fundamental claim. Estimated Cost of War. The cost of the Russo-Japanese war in money and warships is given as fol- lows: War began February 4, 1904. Duration (days), 570. Cost to Russia (estimated), $1,875, 000,000, Cost to Japan (estimated), $1,500, 000,000.

Value of Russian ships lost, $150, 000,000, Value of Japanese ships lost, $15, 000,000, Germany Praises Roosevelt. Berlin, Aug. 30.—Japan has won a great moral victory, Russia a great diplomatic one, and President Roose- velt has become the first figure in in- ternational statesmanship. ‘That is what Berlin thinks of the re- sult of the Portsmouth conference. The foreign office, where the Asso- elated Press brought the first an nouncement and the summary of con: ditions agreed upon thirty minutes be- fore they were known elsewhere in Germany, says unreservedly that with- out the President's personal exhorta tions, supported by his unique position and the power of the United States, peace would not have been attained and that Grmany and the whole world will benefit by the statesmanship shown by the Washington govern ment. ‘Togo Will Rank With Nelson. Gloucester, Mags., Aug. 30.—Andrew D. White, former United States ambas- sador to Russia, said, concerning peace: “I am glad that peace has come. I am glad that the Japanese seemed so very magnanimous. I expected that it Would be necessary to leave some points to the decision of the commis- stoners or to The Hague tribunal. Ja- pan will now take her place among the nations of the world. The name of ‘Togo will rank in history with that of Nelson. President Roosevelt is de- serving of great credit, and the result of his efforts will make him aa his. torigal person. 1 am satisfied that thers wilFinow be great reforms in Russla, similar to those following the Crimean war.” France Gives Toosevelt Credit. Paris, Aug. 30.—The unwavering con- viction of France that President Rocze- yelt’s initiative would culminate in peace has received its reward. The news of the successful termina- tion of the conference at Portsmouth, which was first made known through the Associated Press bulletin, produced a profound impression when it was communicated to the members of the diplomatic corps and the high officials of the government, who unanimously expressed the keenest satisfaction that the heavy strain and anxiety had been removed and President Roosevelt's un- relenting persistency was generally considered to have been the main fac- tor in bringing about the happy result. Envoys Congratulate Roosevelt, Poftsmouth, Aug. .30.—Before the en- voys left the conference building to- day, felicitations were exchanged with ‘the President at Oyster Bay. Both Baron Komura and M, Witte tele- graphed, ~The former confined himselt to ap- prising Mr. Roosevelt of the conditions upon Which peace had been concluded, ) M. ‘Witte frankly laid his tribute at ‘the President's feet. In his message he sald: ! “History will ascribe to you the glory,” and added the expression of Russia’s hearty appreciation of the President's -“generous initiative.” "Mr. Roosevelt replied with words of ‘thanks and congratulation, ie Proposed Chinese Parliament. Pekin, Aug. 80.—The foreign minis: ters attended a banquet which Prince Ching gave in bidding farewell to the commission starting from China on a tour of the world. The principal ob: ject of this mission is to study the parliamentary proceedings of the gov- ernments abroad, as the dowager em: press Intends to issue a decree at the new year for the establishment of a parliament twelve years hence. In the meantime the government will main- tain a body of students ubroad for the purpose of preparing the country for parliamentary government. The commissioners will spend a mouth in Japan, proceeding thence to Europe via America, The proposition was discussed of traversing Canada, avoiding America on account of its exclusion laws, but the Idea was aban- doned because of the rigor of the Ca nadian climate. The commission will be accompanied by a large retinue. | Milani? Concratulated. Oyster Bay, Aug. 30.—Throughout the late afternoon and evening yester- day messages of congratulation by the score poured in upon the President from all parts of America and Europe. ‘The great part he has played in the bringing about of the success of the conference and in promoting the inter- ests of civilization js recognized throughout the world, as is indicated by the cordiality and wide range cov- ered by the congratulatory dispatches.

Pershing, at the Peoples Alliance, last Sunday. A better address has not been heard before this body. It was a classic in its sphere. Clear, sane, logical and timely. The speaker did not attempt to flatter his audience or insult their intelligence with a lot of slush as many white speakers called to address colored audiences do, but he simply told in a straight forward way the "Perils to Negro Citizenship" He showed that certain perils do now and always will confront a weaker race and the only escape lay in, 1. Political Freedom, 2. Economic Freedom and 3rd. Moral Freedom. That salvation must be had from within and not from without. GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME CROWD. One serious mistake has befallen our people that works disaster to their progress. It is the idea that they cannot or will not work steady during the warm season, but mus lay off and in many cases actually quit a good job because it is too hot to work. This one thing has caused as many doors of occupation to be closed against our people as anything else. It is a devilish idea, born of stupidity and fostered by laziness and unworthy of a people who must make every opportunity in the game of life count. The worlds business must be carried on in the summer time as well as in the winter, and the man or woman who wantonly refuses to work during the hot spell should be denied the privilege when the weather is more favorable. The number of young Negroes sauntering along the streets or hanging about the club doors and pool rooms exhibiting their smart alce cloths and foolish talk and the young misses and old ones too for that matter, who go parading the thoroughfares and shopping districts with guaze shirt waist exposing their breasts and half of their backs, spending their time and money drinking ice cream soda, while calls upon calls for help and good wages are offered them. Let us be up and doing: Go to work, stay at work and let your work show for something tangiable. Summer is work time winter is the time to rest. "LEST WE FORGET." There is a poem that runs thus, we would like to quote it to the Republican party of the City and County of Denver. It seems that they have forgotten all about the colored people that help them to win the battle last fall. This paper does not wish to assume the attitude of a chronic kicker but it does feel it to be its duty to demand that an element of fairness be meted out to a people who voted almost solidly the Republican ticket. The Negroes of Denver are taxpayers, regular voters at the polls and have always been a willing aid to the psrty and yet he does not hold as many places of merit in the party today as he did ten years ago. The Sheriff and Recorders offices have places for every Nationality except members of our race, the Assessors office can find places for everybody but one of our number. Many of our young ladies who worked faithfully in the Colored Womans Republican Club last fall have as yet received no recognition for services rendered. What will the party have to say to them at the next campaign? What can the party expect? In the time of peace prepare for war is a very good motto. Now is the time for the party to pay back some of its promises, to show its faith by its works. Again we say to the party managers, act now, and let some of our intelligent workers know that their faithful services are to be remembered. RACE NEWS. & Seamon for the way they have piloted the famous stars to the front, they have amply paid themselves for their labor. Just whose management Williams & Walker will be under this season is shrouded in mystery. We only know that they are to open at the New York Theatre, Broadway New York, early in the season in a new musical comedy by Jesse A. Shipp and again the humming bird sounds they will have one hundred people. Los Angeles, August 21.—When a suit filed in the Superior Court to-day comes to trial, the Banning company will have an opportunity of stating whether colored persons are received as guests at the Metropole hotel or elsewhere on Catalina island. T. Harry Jones, of African descent, who says he is a professional man, and went to the island for rest on August 5, alleges that he was refused accommodation of any kind and held up to obloquy and ridicule. He is suing the Bonning company for $10,000 damages. He says that after being refused he went to Camp Cabrillo, where he was told by the manager that there was "no room." After that, he says, he was followed about the streets of Avalon by persons who, he was informed, are in the employ of the Banning company, and who, he says, threatened to arrest him if he did not leave the island. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 22.—Two hundred people engaged in a desperate race riot late this evening at Luna park. As a result, a number of persons were injured. Chas. Julius Miller, a Negro employed in the registry department of the Chicago post office, entered the Cafa Neapolitan with a Negro woman. Miller is here attending the national convention of the Colored Knights of Pythias. Waiters refused to serve him and Miller, when ordered out, became abusive. One of the waiters attempted to strike him with a chair, when Miller drew a revolver. A large number of shots were fired before the weapon could be taken from him. Friends of Miller ran to his assistance and a free-for-all fight started. A riot call was sent in, and about fifty persons were arrested. Miller, who was seriously injured, and several others, had to be sent to hospitals.

"There is a cause for the drink habit which even good Christian parents do not understand," says a writer in What to Eat. "They cannot realize why their children, with beautiful surroundings and daily Christian influences, sometimes go far distray, becoming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall haxe exhausted all other efforts to locate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all probability, find the source of the evil. From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of their digestive organs. As soon as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill of fare. These, as well as the other articles of food, are necessarily swallowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentation sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irritable, quick tempered, untruthful, and it would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood." --- Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort. PHONE 2275 MAIN.

Somehow or other we associate to bacco with literary men, but not all writers are lovers of the weed. Goethe hated tobacco intensely and never lost a chance to attack it. Heinrich Heine had the same dislike. Balzac, who lived on black coffee, preached wisely to the young about the vice of smoking, and Victor Hugo and Dumas were equally opposed to the practice. But the list of French smokers comprises many great names, such as Alfred de Musset, Eugene Sue, Paul de St. Victor, Prosper Merimee-Beranger and Baudelaire. Mme. Dudevant, better known as George Sand, often indulged in a cigar between the intervals of her literary labors. The poet Bloomfield wrote sweet pastoral rymes with a cloud of tobacco smoke making a fog around his head. Campbell, Moore and Byron delighted in its temperate use and Tennyson was a great smoker. One of the quaint scenes in the realm of letters is that of Carlyle and his old mother sitting together by the chimney corner each smoking a "dark-brown pine and chatting earnestly the while." The Springfield, (Mass.) Republican's Williamstown correspondent reports a feud of long standing between the Smith and Jones families of that town. In a spirit of earnest hope for the peace of the world we may express a wish that this feud is not to spread. --- Forced Morality on Sparta Clare, in his "Universal History of value of iron at the present date. Coal Tokens as Currency Each Had His Specialty American History Is Hard Lycurgus Made Currency of Country So Bulky and Comparatively Worthless That Inducement to Hoard Was Lost. Plutarch says: "Not content with this (the equal division of the lands, etc., of the Lacedaemonians), he (Lycurgus) resolved to make a division of their movables, too, that there might be no odious distinction or inequality left among them; but finding that it would be very dangerous to go about it openly, he took another course and defeated their avarice by the following stratagem: He commanded that all gold and silver coin should be called in and that only a certain kind of money made of iron should be current. A great weight and quantity was of little worth, so that to lay up twenty or thirty pounds there was required a pretty large closet and to remove it nothing less than a yoke of oxen," according to the Scientific American. "With the diffusion of this money at once a number of vices were banished from Lacedaemonia, for who would rob another of such a coin? Who would unjustly detain or take by force or accept as a bribe a thing which was not easy to hide nor a credit to have nor indeed of any use to cut in pieces? For when it was just red hot they quenched it in vinegar, by that means spoiling it, and made it almost incapable of being worked." Undoubted Proof That Roman Workshops Turned Out Coins of Bituminous Material That Did Service as Money. Coal was once used as money, but it was a long time ago and in England. The coal money was in the shape of disks, approximating coins in size, and was from human workshops, where articles of ornament were made on lathes. A writer says: "On the Dorset coast, in the isle of Purbeck, to the west of St. Alban's Head, an outcrop occurs of bituminous shale, which extends more or less for some miles. As a source of fuel this shale, or coal, has been worked from very early times and is to the present day used by the cottagers of Kimmeridge. Some of this shale is of so compact a texture that it is capable of being worked into ornamental articles, taking a high polish, similar to jet. The Romans, when occupying this part of Dorset, discovered not only the properties of this deposit as a fuel but also its capabilities of being turned in a lathe into rings, beads and armlets, which were no doubt readily purchased by the ladies in the important town of Durnovaria (Dorchester), a few miles distant. Some estimate may be formed of the magnitude of this industry by the number of disks which have been discovered from time to time in the neighbor- Taken All in All, Town Probably Had the Best School Board That Could Be Found in Whole of New England. The qualifications for membership on the school board in a certain New England town were carefully explained to a visitor who was interested in education and who had remarked to her host on the way home from the closing exhibition at one of the schools that she would like to know why four men of such apparent dullness had been chosen for the board. "Well, now, you take Abe Ransom," said her host, lightly flicking the whip on the backbone of his stolld old horse, "he's a good choice, fust-rate. He never made much of a boast of book learning, but he keeps a good assortment o' paper and pencils and ink and all such in his store, and sells 'em reasonable, and it sort o' makes him a patron of education, as you might say. "Then there's John Willett, he's a free-handed man as ever was, and he hauls a good mess o' wood for 'em fall and winter, and never charges a cent for teaming, and puts the price on the wood low, too. I guess there isn't any- Tender Sentiments Have Had Little to Do With the Great Events That Have Marked the Country's Upbuilding. Our history is hard and masculine; colored with few purple lights; too little related to our tenderer sentiments and deeper passions. When older peoples have paused, as we did then, they have looked upon far different scenes. Fairer companies have stood about more stately figures of triumph or of tragedy than that America and the world now gazed upon. The common chamber, the gaunt, pale President, the strong, bearded counselors at his bedside—this was unlike scenes which European peoples have fixed in their memories. Charles I and Mary Stuart on their scaffolds, the barons and the King at Runnymede, Maria Theresa appealing to the nobles of Hungary to take up their swords for her child, Marie Antoinette and Mirabeau, and many another pageant of human love and sacrifice are treasured up by other peoples as we the World," volume 2, page 585, says: "To render the state dependent only on its own territorial products and to prevent any individual from accumulating an undue amount of wealth he (Lycurgus) prohibited the use of any money except an iron coin, with so small a value in comparison with its bulk and weight that the necessity of using it as a medium of exchange would make it difficult to carry on trade, especially foreign commerce. By subjecting this iron coin to a process rendering it brittle and unfit for any other use Lycurgus endeavored to destroy every desire to hoard it as a treasure." Rollin, in his "Ancient History," volume 1, page 687, says: "First he (Lycurgus) cried down all gold and silver money and ordained that no other should be current than that of iron, which he made so very heavy and fixed at so low a rate that a cart and two oxen were necessary to carry home a sum of 10 minae (500 French livres, about $88.80) and a whole chamber to keep it in." This was done for the purpose of sapping the foundation of avarice. From the above quotations it would seem that, while iron was much more valuable than it is now, still it was not so valuable as to justify its being coined into money. It seems that a team of oxen could haul about $88 worth of coin. I presume the same sort of team might haul one-fifth that value of iron at the present date. hood, as they are without doubt the cores or centers left after turning articles of ornament. "These discarded disks have been invariably found, carefully hidden away under the surface of the ground, at a depth of about two feet, sometimes with or in Roman pottery and sometimes between two flat stones placed on edge, covered with a third stone at the top. That they were carefully stored and hidden away is beyond question; hence they must have represented some value to the possessor. It would appear reasonable to conclude that they were used by the ancient Britons as tallies, or money. The turning lathe of the enlightened Roman was an instrument unknown to the natives and these waste disks, bearing the tool marks of the turner, would have been as impossible to counterfeit by the savage Briton as a minted coin. "That they have been known from early times as coal money is well authenticated. As many as 600 have been found together in one place, but always protected by, covering stones or pottery. In size they vary from one and three-quarters to two and one-half inches in diameter and about one-half inch in thickness, with holes to secure them to the mandrel of the lathe. They are all strikingly similar in appearance." body much better suited for the school board than John. He's elected unanimous every time. "And there's Jtm Rawson. What d'you say? Um.

I guess 'tisn't every school board has got a man on it that'll shingle the roof half-price, put in window glass when needed, tinker up the desks and so on spring and fall, and fetch down a lawn mower to run over the grass once a month during vacation.

Even the great personality of Lincoln, now potent in so many individual lives, intimate and familiar of so many of our hidden moods, was not yet fully revealed to his fellows. It was the emancipator only that had fallen; the leader and shepherd of men. Outwardly at least his experience was limited as theirs was. Dying in the midst of multitudes, master of armies and of navies, he was still of the frontier; as, indeed, all our American life was still, in a sense, only the frontier and western fringe of European life. True, Lincoln also leads our thoughts back to the princes whose peer he was, but we can pass from his deathbed with no irreverence, no sense of shock or change, to look out, in the plain light of day, upon the whole wide field of work and strife and progress which was always in his thought, and glimpse the attitude and state of the republic when his summons passed, like an angelus, across the continent.—William Garrott Brown in the Atlantic. eet er : > == DS SRR eeeeg po YOU” KNOW THAT The Colorado Statesman Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing?

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, Aug. 28.— Intelligence of the constitutional grants by the government has been re- ceived by the army and general infor- mation relating to department affairs continues to reach here from three to ten days late. Since the Japanese reconnoitered the Russian center about twenty-five or thirty miles on August 10th, which re- sulted .in retaliatory skirmishing as well as the checkmating of a wide movement of considerable bodies of troops throughout three days, nothing important has occurred. During the long quiet there have been reinforcements to both sides, giv- ing the the theater of war a much changed appearance. The front has been greatly extended, made possible by the use of wireless telegraph and because of the unexampled sized of the armies, the character of the third stage of the war, whether it be general hos- tilities or the garrisoning of contested territory, will be complicated. ‘The relative positions of the two armies is comparable to that of a year ago and the country immediately fac- ing the Japanese is almost identical with that which confronted them at Liao Yang. ‘The acquisition of the railway and rivers by the Japanese at Mukden, to- gether with their Feng Wang Cheng ‘communications and General Kawa- “mura’s new line of communication and defense, moved from the head of navi- gation on the Yalu river across to Kaiyuan, with the occupation of the Chang ‘Paishan mountain region, makes control of the administration of South Manchuria as complete as that achieved in the North.

Not less than 125,000 are to be provided for in this city, and unless the public awakens to the re- sponsibility that will be imposed upor it to keep its promises of entertaining this vast throng from all parts of the United States, it will find that it has invited guests and forgotten to provide the promised hospitality, Officials of the Santa Fe road alone haye stated to the executive commit: tee of the G.

Perhaps 150,000 persons will be here, ‘The Union Depot Company will build two large baggage platforms to handle the encampment traffic alone, and will install forty-four extra baggagemen, who will work on regular shifts night and day.

HEN WILSON IN TROUBLE. OE SS ee tants of Bingville, It is: rumored on reliable authority that Hen Wilson has left his wife again owing to some marital trouble between them. This is not the first time Hen and Sary Ann have had mar- ital trouble. The last time before this Sary Ann struck Hen with a rolling pin above the left eye and he went out of the house and did not return for several weeks. Some says he went to the Co. seat and spent most of his time in a hospital. Finally he returned home a sadder and wiser man and him and Sary Ann made up again and started out together to try to live a different life with the dove of peace perched above their hearthstone, as you might say. But now ruction swift and terrible has broken out in thelr midst again. We got this straight or we wouldn't say anything about {t in print. Mrs. Wilson herself told Mrs, Caroline Hooper that Hen had left home fol- lowed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to Ben Wade's wife and Ben Wade's wife told it to Mrs. Widow Henderson who told us. Sary Ann has a quick temper and when she gets mad there seems to be nothing else to do but for Hen to dig out for a while and wait until the clouds roll by. What the trouble was this time was that Hen went right into the house like a durn fool and set his- self down on a new sofa pillow which Mrs. Wilson had just finished. Mrs. Wilson stated that Hen might think that sofa pillows were made to sit on, but he was mistaken. Hen’s where- abouts is at present unknown—“Bing- ville Bugle Items” in the Boston Post. ARTIST MET HER IDOL. John Ruskin’s Self-Introduction to His Admirer. The London Outlook tells a pretty story of the late John Ruskin, artist, author, reformer, which shows that courtly and chivalric gentleman and great writer in a playful mood: Mr. Ruskin was taking a mo-ving walk down the road just in front of Brantwood, when he saw a lady seat- ed on a camp-stool making a sketch of the house, and, with a courteous grace which was intensely his own, he addressed her, inquiring her reason for choosing the house in question for her subject. “It 18 the house of the famous John Ruskin,” she frankly asked. “Haye you met Ruskin?” she was asked. “No, indeed,” she replied. “If 1 had; I would have deemed it one of the greatest privileges of my life.” “Then, madam, it you care to fot- low me, I will show him to you.” In a twinkling the stool and easel were packed up and the artist eagerly followed the guide. To her surprise and gratification, he led her up to the house, and entering, bade bié=guest follow, which she readily did. On marched the stranger into the draw- ing-room; then, placing his back to the fireplace, a familiar attitude, he ex- claimed, to the amazement of his com- panion: “Now, what do you think of Rus- xin?” i From “The Glaour.”" He who hath bent him over the dead Ere ‘the, first. day of Death ts tled, ‘The first dark day. of Nothingness, The last Danger and Distress (Betore Decay's effacing Angers Have swank: the lines where Beauty ling- res) Ana marked the mild angolfe air The rapture of Repose that's there, The fixed yet tender traits that streak The Innauor of the placid cheek, And—but for. that sad shrouded eva, That fires not. win Tot, weeps not now; And but for that chill. chanketess’ Brows Where cold Obstruction's apathy Appals the gazing mourner’s heart, AR'if to him‘it could: Impart : The doom he dreads, yet dwells upon, Yes, but for thes, ‘and. these, alone, Some moments, aye, “one tres: gfOus our.

Going to the dog, she made a little courtesy such as she has beer taught to make at davcing school and said po: litely: “Doggie, I am Margaret Brown,” Then, the introduction having been made and the dog having no exeuse for not knowing her, Margaret waltzed up and petted him, while he wagged his ‘ail with much grectousness.— New York Times. ‘The Two Brothers.

She certainly did. She was popular in Paris toward the end of the seventeenth century. She charmed the contemporaries of Louis XIV., and particularly the famous Prince Mau- rice ot Saxony, who used to leave the wars (which then went on pretty con tinuously) and ray her flying visits in Paris. Unfortunately the duchess of Bouillon, a very great lady, indeed, was also fond of Maurice. So, when one day Adrienne suddenly died, her friends all hinted that the duchess had something to do with her death. It was never proved, but there is no doubt but that Adrienne died very soon after receiving some flowers from her grace. Were those flowers poisoned. It is safe to say that a great duchess would not have thought much in those days of removing a rival if the rival happened to be a mere actress. Everybody despised actresses then. But Adrienne has her triumph over tne duchess now. She ts regarded as a charming martyr to tove, while the duchess universally is execrated. ‘The Dulcimer.

Chink Waiters and All Outdoors for a Re A visit to southern Arizona in Au- gust will convince one that Lieuten- ant Peary’s expedition 1s no where near. The atmosphere seems to be set on fire, and the earth feels like a hot brick Kiln. Hverything seems to have retired from view; people are scarcely seen during the day and even the ani- mals betake themselves to some quiet nook in the shade. If you get to one of the better towns, you will only meet the people in the eyening and the shops have the ap- pearance of undertaking establish- ments. You eat your meals at a Chink restaurant. The pigtailed waiter asks you if you will have “legs slait lup, ham or slake, Kloffee or klee.” You say “yes” and get a fairly good meal. The iegs of the table sit in tomato cans filled with kerosene; this is so that the ants will run up your legs, and not the table legs. You put up at what {s called a “ho- tel,” pay $1 for a room and occupy space out in the yard on a cot; you will drop to sleep in time, but not be- fore you have heard the distant yelp and KL-Ki of a pack of coyotes and the bray of the patient burro. About day- light you awaken and find yourself in @ bed room as large as Arizona, and wonder for a moment if you have not passed the “divide” and woke up in the next world; you take a tumble, wrap the sheets about you and scud |tor the room. Before dressing you must shake each garment thorougilly. If you have several, turn your shoes upside down and shake tnem in order to rid your clothing of scorpions. A process for preserving timber, patented by an Englishman, consists in injecting it, with a light syrup of raw sugar from the cane or so-called beet root, raised to boiling point in a closed chamber. When the timber 4s dried in a current of hot air the su- gar becomes crystallized in the pores, and the inventor asserts that timber so treated can not decay, split or warp, while being protected from de- structive fungi, Jersey Shore, Pa., Aug. 28th (Spe- clal)—"Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me.” That's what Mrs, C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. “I was laid up sick,” Mrs. Earnest continues, “and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good rea- son to praise them everywhere.” Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson {s “eure the kidneys with Dodd’s Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease.” Woman's health depends almost en- tirely on her kidneys, Dodd's Kidney Pills haye never yet failed to make healthy kidneys.

N. U.—DENVER.—Nu, 35.—1905, When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention This Paper. Girdle Is Still Popular. The prediction of the disappearance of the high girdle has become nearly as familiar as the one that has doomed the bolero to extinction only to find it shaking itself from the ashes of a fleeting disfavor to assume its same old place in the wardrobe or a still worthier one. The girdle, as a fact, is just as much in evidence as ever, and, with the princess gown or its effect waxing in popularity, the girdle is likely to remain prevalent for another season at least. It is still, too, in the latest gowns, as pointed as ever. The fact is that the girdle is suited to the wearer and, any shape which is becoming is modish. For a slight figure there is a worthful suggestion in the cut where the waist is swathed with a deep, shaped girdle, pointing low at the front and extending half the width of the bodice at the top, where it ends in two points. Of Light Blue Batiste. Batiste in light shades, trimmed in batiste openwork embroidery, is a special favorite for hot-weather frocks, and the first cut illustrates a charming design in light blue. The skirt, finely tucked over the hips, is walking length and is finished at the foot with three deep tucks. On the blouse, the embroidery is put on over the shoulders in epaulette 1 fashion and bib front, edged all around with narrow valencniennes dyed to match the material and embroidery. Elbow sleeves have carried all before them so far as sheer frocks are concerned, and in this case, instead of a frill for finish, a double row of lace forms the turn-back cuff. A tab of embroidery edged with lace is set on top. For Early Fall Topcoat. For the tailor-made coat the moderately full coat sleeves, rather high and square at the shoulder, but not emphasizing these lines to an exaggerated degree, and the modified gigot quite full at top and rather close below the elbow, are the two models that have the greatest vogue. The gigot form may be secured by the cutting of the plain sleeve, or may be attained by laying the lower part of the sleeves in flatly-stitched, small vertical plaits. There is no denying that the gigot idea predominates in sleeve modes, but it is a modified and chastened gigot that we have accepted and shows itself ather in the fact that the sleeve is broader at the shoulder than any point below than in exaggerated fullness at the shoulder. New and Likewise Pretty Quite new and pretty are the silk walking petticoats embroidered with eyelet work, upon flounce borders, and across headings. In grays and colors matching the costume they are most effective. More serviceable are the fine alpacas, black ones in particular, having shared flouces eighteen inches wide, covered with narrow stitched crossbands of black taffeta. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Colored goods should be ironed on the wrong side. Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine will take paint out of clothing, even if it be hard and dry. Saturate the spots as often as necessary and wash out in soap suds. When a broom becomes shorter on one side than the other and the ends of the straws become as sharp as needles, dip it into hot water, trim it evenly with the shears and you will have a broom nearly as good as new. Celery can be kept for a week or longer by first rolling it up in brown paper. Then pin it in a towel and keep it in a dark, cool place. Before preparing it for the table place it in a pan of cold water and let it remain for an hour. This will make it crisp and cool. Color Scheme in Costumes. In the very sheer embroidered linens the pale blues and pinks, the grays and the light tans are very smart and the embroidery is, of course, of the finest. Among these gowns are ranked those made of batiste. Conservative people are not, however, very much in favor of the colored linens. They should be included in any Pretty Walking Gowns --- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY complete wardrobe, as they are exquisite in coloring and texture; but it is claimed that all the color that is necessary can easily be obtained in the linings of different colors over which white can be worn, or in the colored girdles and sashes that are a very necessary part of the finish of any effective gown this summer. The princess silk slips that are part and parcel of every modern outfit make this change of color feasible, and if silk is not desired then lawn answers the purpose equally well, so far as regards color, and, of course, the effect is rather lighter. Doudoir Confidences A different chain of beads to match every frock is the rule of the particular ones. The green parasol is cool looking, but not a becoming background for every face. Net gowns are in high favor. One buys the white net and has it dyed the desired color. Stripes are coming into favor again and after the long reign of checks they are rather a relief. The all-flower hat is not much in evidence this season, delicate straws and laces taking precedence. It is not so much the hat itself as the angle at which it is worn and the coiffure which it adorns that count. Broderie Anglaise seems to be about the only discovery of the season, and it is in reality only a revival of an old style. Crin Hats for Fall and Winter. Crin hats are to be worn all the fall and winter, and those of black crin, or trimmed with foliage in green shades, or rosettes of shaded ribbons also in greens, make one of the little hats, which is good not only for any season but for any occasion. There is a new tarpaulin hat in three-cornered shape brought in this fall which is intended for automobile wear, but which makes an excellent outing and rainy day hat. They can be had from $1.50 up to $5, those at the latter price, however, being as superior in both shape and softness and becomingness as it would be if they were two patent leather shoes at the same price. Hat of Attractive Design. A tan-colored hat in finest straw has a high, round crown, and a wide, round brim, the extreme edge of which is rolled for half an inch, the roll being covered with straw-colored velvet. The brim is indented a little at the right side of the front and the brim lifts from there with a gentle curve almost to the back, but does not roll back at all. A pale yellow bird of paradise plume starts from under this curve and floats to the back. A Pretty Wal The gown at the left is of pale green silk crape. The skirt is gathered and has a tablier slightly draped at the top, which seems to be cut in one piece, with the plastron of the corsage to which it is united under a scarf of green satin furnished by the girdle, also of green satin. The skirt is trimmed at the bottom with a lace ruffle edged with the green satin and headed by three tucks, on which are motifs of guipure. The blouse is covered, back and THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD front, with a plastron bordered with plaits, and over the shoulders are large ruffles of lace, edged with the green satin, and also ruffles of the material bordered with ruches of the same. The yoke is of lace, bordered with a bias band of white satin, embroidered with black soutache and also with a little lace ruffle. The standing scarf effect in dark brown velvet is woun around the crown, almost covering the sides with its scant folds, which disappear at the left side under masses of shaded yellow birds of paradise plumage that float out over the brim, joining the paler plumage springing out from under the curve. Jeweled Pin Sets. Pin sets studded with gems are in high favor. The use of semi-precious stones makes them come within the purse of almost every one. The sets consist of two hat and two stick pins of the same material and ornamented to match. Turquoise and pearls encircled by rhinestones or diamonds are favorite mounts for these pins. in simpler designs gold and enamel with and without pearls furnish the decoration. Of Canary Batiste. Of pretty, sheer summer frocks there is apparently no end, and even as late in the season as this fresh models are constantly being shown. As an example, here is one in canary battiste, outlined by the tiniest frills of plain material. Elbow sleeves so 1 much in vogue, giving a certain air of festivity, are formed of one large and two small puffs edged with a deep frill of batiste. Dusty Piano Keys. Dusty piano keys are about as annoying a thing to even an amateur performer as anything can be, except perhaps, sticky keys. Just how they get that way nobody knows—something in the atmosphere at certain times of the year is probably responsible for it, but a few seconds each day will effectually remove the effect, if it doesn't the cause. The keys should be dusted religiously and the piano lid kept closed, if they show a disposition to get dusty again soon. And a cloth, barely moistened will take dirt and stickiness off. king Gowns collar is trimmed with embroidery in colors. The sleeves are finished at the elbows with ruffles of lace and of the material and with bands of green satin knotted on the outside. The other gown is of brown-checked light-weight cloth. The skirt is made with plaits at the sides over the hips and is cut off over inserted pieces, which are plaited at the top and trimmed with ruffles of the material, piped with brown taffeta. The bias bands are also of brown taffeta. THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION The fronts of the pretty boleo are tucked crosswise and bordered with a bias band of taffeta and a little ecru lace ruffle; they are ornamented at the bottom with buttons. The shoulder collar is composed of fagoted bands of the taffeta bordered with little ruffles of the ecru lace. The corset girdle is of the material trimmed with the taffeta bands.

Commencing Tuesday We will present to visitors to our store a souvenir of the Grand Army of the Republic Annual Encampment. It is a very beautiful reproduction in colors of Abbot Graves' famous painting, "A Labor of Love" The subject is an old army veteran mending "the starry banner." The face is a study of pride, emotion and fervent patriotism and the whole atmosphere of the picture will appeal to every American. The ranks of the veterans are thinning and a picture of this kind is one of those object lessons of our Civil war history that will perpetuate it when the heroes who fought so nobly shall be only a blessed memory.

"You cannot go anywhere in Paris without meeting the secret police, although you would never recognize them," observed a Briton familiar with the French capital. "There are four divisions of these uniformed crime detectors. The first division is known as the Surety, the business of which is to track down known criminals and capture them. They are daring, wily and resourceful fellows, and it is a clever malefactor indeed who can evade them. Another body of this 'plain clothes' police looks after the tenants of lodgings houses and hotels. They take note of all the arrivals and departures, and gather statistics regarding the workmen in the factories, the sick in hospitals and private houses, and so forth. A third division occupies itself with political plotters, agitators and gamblers. At meetings of a seditious character they mingle with the crowd, and (to disarm suspicion) applaud as loudly as anybody, and join in denunciations of the government. They appear in gambling dens as gamblers themselves, and they also keep a quiet watch on the regular police. The remaining division consists of elegantly dressed persons who watch over the president and protect him not only from assassins, but also from bores and cranks."—Cassell's Saturday Journal. GIRL FASCINATES A LION. Fair Dancer Patted Affectionately, but Her Face Is Scratched. So great was the impression which a fascinating dancer made on a lion while she was paying a visit to a music hall where it was performing that the animal, after contemplating her for some time, got on its legs, moved off in her direction, and, putting its paws through the bars of its cage, took hold of her head and patted her face affectionately. Unfortunately, Samson had reckoned without his claws, which tore the tender skin of the pretty dancer, inflicting scars, the traces of which will, in all probability, never disappear. This result of what would otherwise have been regarded as a good joke, not being likely to enhance the professional attractiveness of the graceful Spaniard, she has taken legal action against the proprietor of the place of entertainment, putting in a claim for damages to the amount of $2,000. The case has just been brought before one of the Paris courts, but, as the defendant is abroad on business, the hearing has been adjourned until November, when the judges may have a better opportunity for forming an exact opinion of the injury which the charms of the fair plaintiff have sustained at the paws of the susceptible Samson. Saved from Suicide by Bath. A keeper at the county jail in Jersey City made the discovery a few days ago that Nicola Murdaco, a condemned Italian murderer, was in need of a bath. The tip was furnished by Edward Tapeley, a negro murderer, who is under sentence to hang one week before the date set for Murdaco's execution. Tapeley said he strenuously objected to confinement in the same cell with the Italian unless "the dago had a wash." Murdaco was ordered to get into the bathtub, but refused. He said he would die first, and then six attendants yanked his clothes off and washed him. Murdaco's yells were heard in every part of the jail. Three or four men held him down while others scrubbed him from head to foot. Murdaco tried to kill himself the other day by twisting and pulling his tongue until it bled at the roots. The keepers believe the Italian had an idea that he could commit suicide by allowing the pores of his skin to close up, and for that reason refused to wash himself. Record of Yellow Fever. Yellow fever has always been regarded as an American plague, its earliest and greatest ravages being in the West Indies and in American ports. In 1804 and 1814, however, it was very violent at Gibraltar, and during the next quarter of a century there were a number of virulent outbreaks in various Spanish cities. Norfolk and Portmouth, Va., were ravaged in 1855; Wilmington, N. C., in 1862, and Savannah, Ga., in 1876. Between 1847 and 1868 there were six periods of scourge in New Orleans, the mortality in each case averaging about 3,500. In 1878-79 Memphis was almost depopulated, there being 5,160 deaths in 1878 and 485 in 1879, though the larger part of the population had fled from the city. There were fever ravages during the same years in New Orleans and other gulf and south Atlantic ports, the total number of deaths from the scourge in the United States during that year being 14,809. She Couldn't Help It? "Say, it seems very strange," said a petu- lant man. With a saturnine scowl to his patient yong wife. "That you never cheer up, like your sweet sister Nan. Who is gay as a lark ev'ry day of her life." Then the wan little wife neither mur- mured nor sighed. Though there gleamed in her eye just the plant of a tear; but she smiled a wee bit, as she calmly replied. "Why, you seem to forget she's a widow, my dear!" —Thomas B. Chrystal in New York Hcr- ald. Where He Stopped. Cholly—"Some fellows, y' know, stop at nothing in their conversation." Molly—"Well, I can't say that I ever knew you to get any farther that that."
